AT PUBLIC AUCTION
Chicago. Oct. 20.—Opinion is dU
vided today as to the wisdom of
Monday night’s parade, when 12,000
church workers, under the leader
ship of Gypsy Smith, the evangelist,
marched through Chicago's tender
loin district. The resort keepers de
clare that business last night was
better than ever before.
A woman who has lived in the dis
trict for the last five year# said:
“From a business standpoint, I
suppose that I should be p.eased. but
I was sorry* to see so many young
boys attracted to the district for the
first time in their lives.”
The police of the tenderloin re
ported that the district did the big
gest business m its history.
The revivalists declare that the
demonstration was simply “marvel
ous’’ and did a great deal of good.
Gypsy Smith is one of the most
prominent evangelists in the country
and when holding a meeting in thè
large cities always devotes one night
to the tenderloin, when he with his
followers marched through the dis
trict and plead with the women and
men to lead better lives.

1909, were submitted to the National Geographical Society to
day and referred by that body to the committee on research,
with directions to the chairman to appoint a sub-committee of
experts to examine the records and report to the board.
The sub-committee of experts comprises Henry Gannett,
chief geographer of the United States geodetic survey; Rear Ad
miral Colby M. Chester, U. S. N., and O. H. Titman, superinten
dent of the United States coast and geodetic survey.
The society announced that the only question it now had to
decide is whether Peary reached the north pole on the date
claimed, and the experts will hold their first meeting in a few
days and personally examine all of Peary's data.
The wide scope of the question makes it possible that a re
port of their findings will net be presented for several months.
