New York, Oct. 1.-Commander
Robert Il. Peary, standing on the
bridge of the Roosevelt as 1t steamed
up the Hudson river with her warrior
sisters and other marine craft was
easily the center of attraction of the
great naval parade today. New
York's welcome TO the returned Arc

seemed that the original object of the
Hudson-Fulton celebration had been
lost sight of in the desire of the spec
tators to do honor to one of the men
who claims to have nailed the stars
and stripes to the north pole.
Twenty-Five thousand men OF arms

in grandstands or standing along

moment, and then rising bareheaded

and cheered again, until their voices
gave way and they could only wave
hats and handkerchiefs in long
echo of applause.
Heavy wind again interfered with
the plans of Wilbur Wright and

D0LLIVER and ALDRICH
IN TARIFF DISCUSSION
IOWA SENATOR DECLARES PENDING BILL WERE
MADE YORK CUSTOMS


, Mr. Aldrich gave careful attention and
frequently interrupted. Being remind
ed by Mr.. Aldrich that he should not
undertake TO enter upon denuncia
ton of tariff making, MI. Dolliver re-
piled:
This speech was not made without
advice of practical men. | have taken
occasion to put myself in connection
with practical men or | would not be
| here"
After Mr.. Dolliver had criticised the
practice of applying the wool tariff to
| articles of clothing that have in them
only a trace of wool, Mr.. Aldrich inter
posed to say that he wished to intro
duce in the record remarks made by
| the late Senator Jones of Arkansas
and Senator Vest of Missouri, both
democrats, on precisely the same
lines.
THE statement the senator is now
making" said Mr. Aldrich, could
have been read word by word from
speeches of Senators Jones and Vest,
and they would have produced the
same effect
Il said at the beginning retorted
Mr.. Dolliver, that if l confined my
self to the facts / would not be di-
verified if some wayfarer in this wilder
ness should be shown to have hap
pened to strike some of the same
things."
81 only say replied Mr.. Aldrich.
that the men trying to destroy this
tariff are still doing business at the
old stand
Il am not trying to destroy this
tariff retorted Mr.. Dolliver. Il hope
to leave it q republican tariff that can
be defended in the United States.
Saying that the senator from Rhode
Island had hurt his feelings by his
criticism, Mr.. Dolliver added: He de-
sired apparently to put me outside the
breastworks, where so many good peo-
pie have persisted for want of ventila-
ton. But" he said, despite criticism,
propose to perpetuate the work of
others who have formerly attempted
to revise the schedules.
Mr.. Dolliver declared he was for the
Dingley cotton schedule, and inquired
of Mr. Aldrich whether the cotton
manufacturers when before the house
committee had not said they did not
want these rates increased
Mr.. Aldrich said he did not know
what had taken place before that
committee.

PEACE PROMOTERS

Chicago, May 5.-Having discussed

considered plans for the future. AT

Illuminating the next stpes in peace
making" At Fine Arts building
was a special session devoted TO the
relation Of schools and colleges to the
peace movement. At this meeting,
Hamilton Holt not only drew picture
of "the federation of the world but
illustrated his points with stereoptican
views. President S. P. Brooks OF Bay
tor university, Texas, likewise spoke
at this session.
At Orchestra hall, Edwin CHM of
Boston, outlined a systematic cam
paign of education for peace, for )"
education the militant pacemakers
base their hopes of universal abolish
ment of war. Rev. Jenkin Lloyd
Jones of Chicago, referred to arma-
ments as irritants rather than guaran-
tors of peace. Edwin d. Mead of Bos-
ton, discussed The Arrest of Competi-
tive Aiming in Fidelity to the Hague
Movement, and Congressman Richard
Bartholdt of Missouri, among other
things, referred with sarcastic empha-
sis to the inconsistency of race of
people which insists that the individ-
ual shall settle his differences by
peaceful means in courts, while ma
tons are left to refer their own
scruples to the arbitriment of war.

MOTHER-HEAR WINS
IN HAMS TRIAL

Flushing, n Y, May 5.-Mrs. Vir-
GINA Jenkins Hams, mother OF the
defendant, concluded her testimony
yesterday afternoon, after trying
and pathetic ordeal in an effort to
save her son, Peter G. Hams, Jr., on
trial for the murder of William E.
Annis.
Feeble and on the verge of nervous
collapse, the testimony of Mrs. Hams
and her references to 'her boy" and
her pleading to be allowed to tell
every thing she knew" made most
dramatic incident of the trial. She
broke down and sobbed convulsively
through her direct examination by
John E. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, and when District At
torney Dewitt started his cross eX-
animation the strain seemed too much
for her mother-heart She sank into
the witness shair, and, covering her
face with her handkerchief, sobbed
bitterly. At this point Dewitt prompt
ly announced that he had concluded
the cross examination and the old
lady was taken from the court
room. In her testimony Mrs Hams
told of several incidents indicating
that her son Peter was Irrational
at times.

FOR STATE BOARD
OF ROAD MAKERS
SENATOR BROWN HAS HIGHWAY
PROPOSAL OF MUCH
INTEREST.
PRESIDENT OF STATE BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE TO HEAD
THE COMMISSION.

Madison, May 5.
The senate committee on roads and
bridges this morning will report out
substitute for Senator Brownies bill
for state aid to highway construction,
which has been drawn up by Senator
Browne and which promises to take
th3Vplace of all highway bills intro
duced in the legislature so far. The
new bill will change radically many
features of the original senate bill as
well as of the highway bills now in
the hands of the assembly committee
on roads and bridges, and for this rea-
Son will be made the subject of ex-
tensive additional hearings and pro-
badly some fight before the houses be-
fore it is passed.
The new substitute bill makes pro-
vision for the appointment OF state
highway commission, which shall con-
sist of three members. The members
must be the president of the state
board of agriculture, position now
held by George McKerrow; the state
geologist, who is at present w. o.
Hotchkiss, and the dean OF the college
of engineering of the state university,
now F. E. Turneaure.
The bill further provides for the
election of highway engineer by the
members of the committee. In the
measure are defined the general adj
ministrative powers of the commission
regarding the supervision and admin
istration of the whole system of high
way building which is to spring up in
the state.
According to the provisions of the
bill, $150,G00 shall be appropriated for
the first year, $250,000 for the second
and 100000 for the third year after
the passage of the bill. These amounts
shall be raised by direct tax. This
appropriation clause will probably
cause the reference of the bill to the
committee On claims, before further
action is taken by the senate.
