PRESIDENT NOW
M0NTANA' GUEST
TAFT WELCOMED BY THOUSANDS
UPON ARRIVAL IN BUTTE
AND HELENA.
GOES THROUGH MINE SHELTER.
Labor Troubles Give Police Some Appre-
hension and Care Is Taken to
Protect Executive.
GREETED BY SCHOOL CHILDREN.

BUTTE. Mont, Sept. 27.-When Pres
ident Taft arrived in Butte this morning,
he found a city eager to welcome HIM,
the streets gay with bunting, and nothlng
in sight to mar his reception. lie was
welcomed at the depot by big reception
committee. Automobiles took him and
his party over the line of parade mapped
out several days ago, and after speech
by him on North Montana street, opposite
the courthouse. he was Whlsked away 10
his train and started on the journey to
Helena, where he was welcomed by thou-
sands of people at the state fair grounds
When the parade here, headed by the
President, reached the speakers stand,
former Senator Lee Mantle introduced
the President to Mayor Nevis, who, in
few words, presented Mr.. Taft to the
throng.
AS in other cities the school children
formed a feature Of the greeting to the
President. The children all carried flags
and saluted the chief executive as he
passed in his motor.
Visits Mine Smelter.
Troubles between the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners and the organization OF
the engineers in the mines caused a
change in the original programme. 1t
had been Planned Tor MT. 1aIt TO SpeuO
some time in the mines and shelters
here, but when labor troubles became
acute last week, the committee changed
the arrangements so that part of the
time was spent at Anaconda, where the
smelters were visited and examined. The
President took a lively interest in all he
saw and seemed to be much impressed
with the extent of the industry at Ana
conda and Butte.
Labor Troubles Settled.
The labor trouble which was caused
by the engineers withdrawing from the
federation and forming an Independent
organization gave the police officers some
apprehension and extra precautions were
taken to safeguard the President. Both
the sheriff and the chief of police added
many men to their regular forces. How
ever, the labor troubles had practically
been adjusted and the hundreds of men
who were idle are expected to be back
to work tonight.

TAFT IN ROLE OF PREACHER.
President Delivers Address in Mormon
Tabernacle in Utah.

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 27.-President
Taft stepped before the public Sunday
in the great Mormon tabernacle in the
role of a preacher, with a text from
Scripture and a sermon on the optimis-
tic life and the obligation of Christian
charity.
He took his text from Hebrews: "a
soft answer turneth away wrath, but
grievous words stir up anger" and one
could not avoid the impression that the
immediate inspiration for the sermon
came from the bitter controversy that
has been waging here over the Mormon
complexion that has been given to the
entire Taft reception. The overt public
demonstration that has been feared
against the Mormons did not material
ize in Salt Lake City and the President
wound up his visit to Utah by delivering
an address in Lester park here in Ogden.
Senator Apostle Smoot had planned
to have President Taft speak in the
Ogden tabernacle but the local commit
tee upset arrangements. Hence the
President talked in the park.

PEARY SUBMITS PROOFS.
Commander Attempts to Disprove
Cooks Discovery Claims.


BAR HARBOR, Me-, Sept 2S.-Com-
mander Robert E. Peary and Gen.
Thomas H Hubbard, president of the
Peary Arctic club, were in conference
today over the proofs which Comman-
der Peary has gathered from various
sources to show that DR.. Frederick A.
Cook did not reach the north pole.
Commander Peary is anxious to make
a full statement of the whole matter, but
this will hardly be done until the officers
of the Peary Arctic club have passed on
the statement. The proofs which Com
mander Peary will offer are Of various
characters, some OF which in court of
law would pc described as direct evil
dence, while other proofs depend entirely
on deductions from certain given facts.
The equipment and expedition of DIR.
Cook will be described in detail and with
the alleged accomplishment in travelling
to the pole and return will be compared
the work of each expedition of Peary
and other Arctic explorers.
DR.. Cooks experience with Arctic eX-
petitions and his method of keeping the
records and his disposition of them in
part to Harry Whitney, stranger to
him, will play no small part IN Com
mander Peary's statement.
1t is a combination of circumstances
and faith which in their strength Com
mander Peary believes will cut the
ground from under Dr. Cooks claim.
Commander Peary and his wife may
not return to Portland before tomorrow.
