CHICAGO. HIS, Nov. 3.--Charies
{. Jones. chairman Il the National
Prohibition party, sees encouragement
fer prohibition in the election returns
yesterday despite the defeat OF re-
form forces in many principal eities.
The most important feature OF the
elections" and Chairman Jones to-
day. was not the series of anti-li-
ctnse victories in Illinois and other
states. but the startling defeat of re-
form forces In Buffalo. Cincinnati.
San Francisco and other large cities.
These defeats are in no case result
of Indifference 10 political reform and
civic righteousness In the large cities.
In almost every case there was evil
dent a strong public sentiment for the
election Of clean men to Office and
the wiping out of graft.
THE triumph OF the liquor forces
in Philadelphia. Cincinnati. Louisville
and San Francisco prove undeniably
that the only way to drive out the
corrup, clements and break their grip
upon public affairs IS by the union
of all the forces OF good citizenship
in permanent political organlza-

Experts, Who Will Examine DR..
Cooks Records.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 3.-For
having reached the north pole Com
mander Robert Z. Peary. was today
voted gold medal by the National
Geographic Society.
The board of managers OF the So
ciety today accepted unanimously the
re port of its h-ccmmittee of scien-
lists who had examined the explorers
records and proofs and found them
to be conclusive of his claim that ne
had reached the pole.
The society adopted a resolution
that the question o. whether or not
any explorer reached the north pole
pr.Cr to 1909, snail be referred TO n
subcommittee of experts with author
lty to send for papers or make such
Journeys as may be necessary to in
spect original records. This indi-
Gates that the society proposes as
soon as possible to pass upon the
records of DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
Will Spare No Expense.
The scientists will spare no ex-
pense In order that they may be con-
WINGED on this point. DR.. Cook will
be advised Immediately ofthe society's
action.
At the meeting of the board OF
managers there were present fifteen
men. all prominent in the scientific
world.
After the report of the sub-com-
miitee was submitted there was de-
bate lasting more than two hours,
but finally the board voted unani-
mously to accept the report of the
three experts, who believed without
any question Of doubt that Comman-
der Peary reached the north pole

In addition to awarding Comman-

been carefully examined by your sub.

that Commander Peary reached the

Big Fire at
Blackburn.
Four Buildings Completely
Destroyed Tuesday Even
ing.

BY the explosion OF some gaso-
line and coal oil which had been ac
cidentally mixed in Conrad & Paul
ipg's pool hall in Blackburn Tues
day night serious fire resulted
and four business places were burn
ed.
George Conrad was working with
his lights in the pool hall when the
explosion occurred. He saw at
once that he could do nothing to
put out the fire and so gave the
alarm. A large number responded
and succeeded in confining the
flames to the four wooden struc-
lures. The fire on the north burnt
to G. j. Wagner's saddlery shop,
which is in brick building, to the
south to Pelot's grocery store, also
in brick building. They also sue
ceeded in saving nearly everything
movable in all The buildings except
the pool hall. :
The pool hall building was one
story frame owned by L. Sunder-
brink and occupied by Geo. Con-
rad and Joe Pauling as a pool hall.
The building was valued at $1,000
and insured for $500. The con-
tents were a complete loss, about
5000.
The postoffice and barbershop ad
joining were owned by J. Fl. Wes-
sci. They were valued at $500 and
insured for $500. Taylor Entrekin,
the postmaster, assisted by volun-
teers saved the contents of the
pcstoffice. In the rear of the post
office was room occupied by Jos.
Blackford, the contents of which
were destroyed. The barber shop
was conducted by Robt. Petering
and the contents were saved.
The building occupied by J. Reith
as saddlery and Geo. Haesemeyer
as furniture and undertaking bus
mess was two story structure
owned by D. L. Ramey, valued at
$500 and insured for $500. The con-
tents were saved.
The fire was big one and the
heat broke the window panes in
the buildings across the street.

leave those in the field or could he
take them home? We don't know

seems to us that such shot under
the circumstances would be- un-
