New York, Dec. 22.-Commande1
Peary very strongly intimated in a
speech at the banquet of the New
England society from the expedition
which he led successfully to the
north pole he might also try for the
south pole. However, he did not
commit himself definitely as to his
own share in such an expedition.
..The stars and stripes have been
planted at the pole" said Peary. 'Tt
would seem fitting sequel to that
work if the organization, the per-
sonnel, the material, the equipme ent,
the methods so perfected might be
directed toward the south pole, with
the possibility that re- the stars. and
stripes might wave at both ends Of
the earth's axis"
Commander Peary's reference to
the "Personnel' taken by many of
the diners to mean that he himself
might lead such an expedition into
the antarctic as he proposed and
WILD applause greeted it. But those
familiar with Peary's repeated and
positive declarations that he is done
with further, frigid explorations for
ever, believed that he meant to ex-
clude himself.
5 Asked unequivocally after the ban
quet II he intended to lead such an
expedition, Peary said:
II am prepared to assist in the
Organization of such an expedition to
set out from the United States in an
endeavor to reach the south pole"
This reply, evidently carefully
.worded, still leaves open the main
question at issue.

Brokaw did not take the stand in his
own defense today as had been ex-

to show that the demands of Mrs.
Brokaw, who is suing for separation
with alimony Of 100000 a year, are
unreasonable, in view of the hus-

Desk Sergeant Does Little Detective
Work and Locates Place on
Fifth Avenue.

Desk Sergeant Jim Donaldson, over
at the police headquarters. does not pose
as a detective but Jim can deliver the
goods when necessary. With the help
of Officers McGill and Leonard he caught
blind tiger last night almost in the
very shadow of the police station.
Jim knew that liquor was being sold at
the place and tried to get the offenders
once, but they knew the officer that lie
took along with him and would not sell
them any drinks. This time Donaldson
and one of the officers went into the place
and asked for a drink. He said that the
man who was along with him was one
of his friends from Bessemer. The drinks
were produced after little argument
and when the officers were drinking the
other officer walked in and arrested both
the man and his wife. They found three
cases of beer and some bottles of whis-
ky. The place was in private residence
at 1927 Fifth avenue and the propretors
We're Mr.. and Mrs. Munstereifel. They
were placed in the city jail in default Of
a $500 bond.

NEGRO CONFESSES
MANY BURGLARIES
CAUGHT IN COLORADO LOAN co.
YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN
BURGLAR ALARM NOTIFIED Of
FIcERS OF THE ENTRANCE.

The arrest of Dave Bass, the negro who
has been robbing a couple of stores in
town for the last two weeks, was thrill
ling affair yesterday morning. Bass was
caught by Police Officers Turner, Nor
gan and C. D. Wiggin.
The American District Telegraph COM
pany has a burgler alarm system IN
stalled at various downtown stores and
Chief Bodeker had deputized Wiggin to
assist In watching the alarm bell Thurs
day night. About-S:30 o'clock yesterday
morning the alarm rang In from the
Colorado Loan company and Wiggin hur-
ried to the place. He was trying to force
open the door when the door seemed to
suddenly open of its own accord. Sur
missing that the burglar himself had
opened the door thinking that when the
policemen entered and went back INTO
the dark room he could escape, Wiggin
stepped Just inside the door and STOOD
still AS he stood in the pitch dark he
listened and presently heard some one
move right at his side. He grasped To-
ward the noise and caught the burglar
in his arms.
Bass confessed to having robbed the
Birmingham Arms and Cycle company at
three different times. In ALL he mas
stolen about 80 guns. He told where ne
had been selling the plumber and Paul
Apostatakas, a Greek, and Jesse Purple
a negro, were arrested few hours later

FIGHT CENTER|NG
IN OLD JEFFERSON
Campaign fer Coming Week
viii Be Spectacular
YOUNG MEN PLAY BIG PART
County Anti-Amendment Headquarters
Still Maintain jefferson Majority
Will Be 2ooo-WiIett at Hip
podrome Tomorrow.

The amenders are still apparently con-
centrating their efforts on jefferson coun-
ty, the home of Governor Conner, Judge
Weakley and f. NJ. Jackson.
The defenders of the constitution con-
strue this action to mean that the amend
ers have practically yielded the state as
a whole, and for personal vindication
are endeavoring to swing Jefferson into
their columns.
The defenders, on the other hand, do
not intend to let them carry Jefferson So
the fight in this county for the next week
and more will probably be spectacular.
Although the leaders of the amendment
forces will admit to their closest friends
that today the county is against them
by about 700 votes. they have not sur
rendered They are importing speakers
They are employing local talent. They
are working night and day. They are
leaving nothing undone. They are turn
ing their money in every direction. Each
mail carries out an enormous amount Of
literature.
The defenders are on the alert too.
The Young Mems club has been organized
and its membership will probably reach
the thousand mark within a few days.
These young men, who it is claimed are
illustrating the fact that the amendment
is going to be defeated not alone by
the old guard of the state, are working
without ceasing. They are going into
every beat in the county, and they are
preparing to organize Birmingham by
wards
At county anti-amendrnent headquar-
ters the majority against the amendment
reaches the 1000 figure. The polls were
reviewed yesterday and satisfaction was
complete.
Thomas NJ. Rodgers and White Gibson
spoke last night at Morris, and the audi
ence, numbering 70, stood up to the man
against the amendment.
c. b. Powell spoke at Stewart Creek
while Lee Marx and Pinkney Scott spoke
at Oak Grove. The audience at each
place was large and enthusiastic.
Tomorrow, at the Hippodrome, begin
ming at 2:3O o'clock, Joe j. Wnlett of An
niston will speak. Mr. Willett is consid
cred one Of the best orators in the state,
and his logic employed against the
amendment is considered convincing. Mr..
Willett on July this year was the star
orator at the Tammany wigwam. New
York. At the beginning of the current
fight against the amendment Mr.. Willett
entered the fight with zeal, and he has
done very effective work throughout the
state. He will be heard, no doubt, by a
large audience Sunday afternoon.
Sydney j. Bowie, the announcement
was made yesterday, will speak Wednes-
day evening of next week at Woodlawn,
and on Thursday evening at Jonesboro.
