ACCEPT PEARY'S STORY

Peary VIII ne Hailed ~ Discover
er Of tina North
Pole.

Washington, Nov. 1--Commander
Robert 4. Pearv practically was EN-
dorsed as discoverer OF the North
Pole by the National Geographical So
ciety today.
Every indication points to the fact
the Pearv's personal statement before
the subcommittee of the society today
convinced its members that he had set
foot on the top of the world. The ex-
plorer has been invited to deliver the
first of his public lectures before the
society heer on November IL. and II
was pointed out tonight that had the
proofs been open to the slightest ques-
tion he never would have been asked
to appear.
II was announced tonight ut the
home of Rear Admiral Chester. re-
tired that public statement OF the
findings of the society would prooab'
~ be Forthcoming on "Wednesday THIS
rapidity In determining the genuine.
ness of peary's claim that he reached
the pole on April 6. last, is taken to
mean there is no difference Of opinion
among the three experts who are deiv.
ing Into his Arctic data, and that they
are convinced of his honesty.
Peary was a guest OF Admiral Ches-
ter tonight, but he declined positively
to discuss in any way the testimony ne
gave before the committee or TO dwen
upon personal .recoiiections Of his dash
for the pole.
II was evident from his manner that
the explorer was completely satisfied
In his mind what the verdict OF the
Investigators would be.
The explorer left tonight for New
York, where he will spend tomorrow
In consultation with the officers OF the
Peary Arctic Club. He will then pro-
coed to his home In Maine.

Judge Ed. b. Aimon Of Tuscumbia
spoke to Q crowded court house 1t
10 o'clock this morning against the
amendment Judge Almon was at his
best and made strong speech He
was given the closest Of attention and
frequent applause He was followed
by Mr. WEIGH, Q Bessemer lawyer.
The major portion Of Welch's speech
was prohibition argument. There
was little In the speech on the amend
ment except In the latter part Of his
speech when. In explaining the amend
ment he asserted in effect that the term
Z tn4nufaeture" as used, refers only to
articles for sale. not prohibiting the
making Of wines for home use. He
said that the making Of such would
not be unlawful. He gave flonne time
to celebrating this point defining the
difference between making and manu-
featuring, saying that one who made
biscuits did not manufacture them. The
reply came quickly.
Judge Aston convened court at 1890
o'clock and In charging the grand
Jury. instructed them that manufac-
turing mean making some thing by
hand or machinery. that the manufac-
turing Of wiskey wines and bee Is
absolutely prohibited In the state and
parties guilty OF the same should he

was literally applauded by his side.
