IN AT SYDNEY, n. S.

Family After Successful Quest
for North Pole.

SYDNEY, n. S., Sept. 21.-Command-
err Robert E. Peary, after a successful
quest for the north pole returned today
on board the steamship Roosevelt. The
explorers wife was the first one to greet
him. and as the Roosevelt, after an alb
sence of over one year, steamed into
Sydney harbor under brilliant sun and
cloudless sky, the explorer and his ship
were given a hearty welcome from the
assembled shipping.
At an early hour this morning when
the Roosevelt was still edglng her way
along the Cape Breton coast, the steam
Yacht Sheelah, owned by James Ross,
president of the Dominion Cod company,
put to sea carrying Mrs. Peary, her
daughter, Miss Marie Peary, little Rob
ert e. Peary. Jr.. and a party of friends,
all eager to meet the returning explorer.
The meeting between Commander
speary and his wife took place some ten
miles north of Low point, the entrance
to the harbor The Sheelan ran along
side the Roosevelt, and Mrs. Peary
called a greeting to her husband from
her position at the yachts rail-, Whle
the members of the welcoming party ana
the crews of both vessels cheered lus-
tily. Miss Peary and little Robert were
Overioyed at seeing their father and
threw him kisses and waved their hands
as the Sheelah came alongside.
Tho Roosevelt and the Sheelah then
continued on their courses together 1or
Sydney.
When, asked if he had airy comment
to make on the statement of Wllllam
Pritchard, the cabin boy on board the
Roosevelt. that DR.. Cook had told HIM
that he had reached the north pole,
Commander Peary replied:
Il have nothing to say on that subJect
at this time"
what about the story that the two
Eskimos who went north with Cook adj
mitted to you that they were never out
of sight of land?" Commander Peary
was asked.
'In my first message" Peary replied,
II stated that the two Eskimos who
went with Cook declared that he was
never out of sight of land, and this l
reafirm and stand by
The Roosevelt came direct to the ferry
wharf, where 1000 scholo children had
been assembled. Each carried an Amer
lean flag and the emblems were waved
in unison the moment the explorer
stepped ashore. A delegation of ten
school girls dressed in white then went
forward, and while Commander Peary
stood in attention before them, Miss Ma
omi Kehl, daughter of the American
consul recited a short address OF well
come and presented the commander with
a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
The party then entered carriages and
were driven to their hotel.

$4,000 boxes from the Dumas orS orc alSo
at Walla Walla, Wash, and 15u 60SS

Steinhardt said the prices received l..

There is not the least danger" S,a
Mr.. Steinhardt, that the growers -" N

area. The apple crop of the Unita5
States was about 100000 barrels IN
1896 and in no year since then has II II
amounted to more than 100000 bor

that figure.
The significance of this is cle,,
When it is considered that the nonnIa

the apple production has fallen from

EBERHART NOW GOVERNOR.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept. 21.-Adolph
O. Eberhart, who, by the death of Gov.
Johnson, becomes the chief executive of
the state, was born in Sweden. 38 years
ago. but came to Minnesota in 1881,
when he was 10 years old. He attend
ed the public schools and was afterward
graduated from Gustavus Adolphus col
lege at st. Peter, as a minister Of the
gospel
Mr.. Eberhart abandoned church work
and took up the study of law in the Of
fee of Judge Gray at Mankato, his home
town He was successful as an at
torney and soon built up a large prac-
tice.
For many years Mr.. Eberhart has
been interested in politics, and has
worked hard for the success of the Re
publican party, of which he has been an
enthusiastic member ever since he
reached his majority.
He was at one time clerk of the
United States commissioner for the dis
trict of Minnesota.
In 1903 he turned his attention to an
elective office and was elected to the
state Senate. In 1905 he was reelected.
In 1906 he was elected lieutenant-gov-
ernor, and was reelected in 1908.
During the session of the Legislature
last winter he was brought forward by
number of the Republican Senators as
candidate for the gubernatorial NOM
nation.
Another interesting fact about Mr..
Eberhart is that his name originally was
Olson. But there were in Mankato half
dozen or more Adolph 0lsons. and as
result many instances of confusion of
identity occurred, not the least of these
being errors in the delivery of important
mail. So when the future state official
was married he asked the court to per-
mit him to take the name of his wife, a
petition that was granted and since then
he has been Adolph 0. Eberhart.

BY Peter Power

The strangest phenomenon in
American Industrial history has
occurred during the past few
month:
There have been more strikes In
more trades, involving a greater
number of persons. among nom
union workers employed in social
ed open shops, than among union
artisans.
Fully 10000 clothing workers.
10000 workers in iron and steel
concerns, 5000 in woodworking es-
Establishments, 5000 railway labor
ers, and at least 10000 others en-
gagged in mining, dock work, on
street railways and in other occu-
lpations having no unions walked
out on strike in various places
from New York to the Pacific
coast.
At the most conservative esti-
mate, $4,000 unorganized work
|ingmen and women quit their en-
Iployment during the past 80 days,
the total being 80 to 40 per cent
greater than all the union strikers
combined.
1t appears that the open shop is
no guarantee against labor trou-
bles, nor bring conditions to en-
courage union workers to surren-
der their organizations and throw
themselves upon the tender mer-
cies of employers.
A political labor revolt is threat
ening In Pennsylvania. The PRO
tected" iron and steel workers
sent a petition to congress appeal
ing for an investigation of indus
trial conditions.
/ Congressman Dalzell, Tener and
others sidestepped the issue, the
latter replying that he is too
young" to begin probing. Senator
Penrose, a high priest of protec-
ton, 1t is charged, introduced a
resolution railroading the petition
to a hostile committee to be chic
reformed.
But the labor men are In an
angry mood and are canvassing the
situation among the iron and steel
workers, miners and other trades,
with view of inaugurating a po-
Ilitical revolt to break the political
machines. A conference is likely
to be-held shortly to talk ''protec-
|tion."

are bitterly disappointed because

the managers of the various plants

Iers are actually making inroads on

Ballinger Says He Was Right.
SEATTLE, Aug. 3o.-Called to
Washington on important official
business, Secretary of the Interio Or
Richard A. Ballinger is today on
his way East, having left Seattle
late last night over the Northern
Pacific railroad. Before leaving
the city, Mr.. Ballinger stated that
he would return with President
Taft's party on the presidential
trip to the West.
In discussing the announcement
from Beverly of the sudden resig-
nation of Ormsby McHarg he said
he did not think McHarg's state
ment denouncing the Roosevelt
Pinchot policy on conservation
had any bearing on his resigna-
ton, and added:
"That statement of his was just
like McHarg all over, and he was
right about it. He is always loyal
to his friends"

SPORTS HAVE
REAL OUTING

Evading the Sunday closing
law, one hundred Tacomans con-
verified the Multnomah into a

sound yesterday, winding up with
a couple of prize fights on the
beach at Fairview in the after
noon.
Tickets were 81 each, and boat
fare was extra. After the boat
tied up at Fairview, Jimmy
Braxton, colored, and j. ID. Blant-
man, white, had three rounds of
vigorous fighting on the sand, to a
draw. Then Pearl Hopkins, an
other negro, and Ben Knutson, of
Tacoma, put up fierce battle for
10 rounds, ending in the decision
of the referee in favor of Hop
kins. Knudson was considerably
battered up.
Many well-known men were in

Wright was one of the members.
