CHALLENGE RATE MAKING.
States Power to Regulate Assailed in
Suits Brought in Nebraska.

Omaha, Nebraska. The railroads
will begin a united attack upon
the right of states to regulate freight
and passenger rates in the federal
court at Omaha the last week in Aug.
ust or the first week in September.
The Nebraska 2-cent passenger
rates and the Aldrich state freight
rate act reducing horizontally Is per
cent will be the acts on which the
state issue will be fought
The fight against state regulation
is backed by all the railroads of the
United States on the ground that
state supervision of rates is an indi.

cour procedure in which the young

Thaw faced Mr.. Jerome's lightning
thrusts for 10 hours, yet he held his
own at all times.
Notwithstanding the mental strain
he was under, Thaw labored far into
last night with his attorney in Justice
Mills ante-room, going over the multi
tude of records used by Mr. Jerome
in his rapid fire of cross questions.
On the whole, Thaw and his attor-

dence than he exhibited during his
first encounter.

Jerome based his question chief
ly upon various documents, letters and
memoranda, which he produced in sur
rising numbers. The one he found
most useful was a tablet containing

HOOKWORM FUND INSULT
1he south Is Represented to BE Fill

| Atlanta. Nov. 2.-Declaring that tba
gift of $1,000, 900 for the Investigation
! and cure of the hookworm disease is
an outrage on the South, q sIander on
this section of the country and a dunn
dum' donation, Bishop Warren A.
Gambler of the Southern Methodist
Church made a sensational attack on
John d. Rockefeller.
1T is to be hoped" said Bishop
Candler, that our people will not be
taken in by Mr.. Rockefeller's vermi-
fuge fund and hoo worm commission
The habit Of singing out the South
for all sorts Of reforms, remedies and
enlightenment is not for our benefit
and the too ready acceptance of these
things on the part of some of our peo-
pie is not to our credit. Mr.. Rookie
Teller would take charge of both our
heads and our stomachs. and purge
our brains Of ignorance and our bow
els of worms
For some reason self-appointed
philanthropists have taken it on them
selves to discover and proclaim condi-
tions in the South calculated to create
further prejudice against the States
and people of the South as to divert
immigration and to alarm the resi-
dent population.
"A great deal of exertion has been
required in the past to establish the
faIsity of the many slanderous charges
made against the South, and this Sec
ton has not yet recovered fully from
them. Recently an outcry was made
that the Southern people had become
the victims of deadly disease named
'pellagra". which was charged to the
use of Indian corn. The disease has
been traced to southern Europe,
where it is common, and later inform
alton goes to show that it was import
ed in the rsons of immigrants.
But the pellagra panic having fail
ed of the expected result, now comes
a howl about the hookworm. The
South Is represented to be filled with
a wretched brood of dirt eaters. Who
| that knows the South can for a mo-
ment believe this?
1T is time the Southern people be-
/ gan resenting this officious disposition

ler's million dollar dose of vermifuge.' -
The bishop, who was consecrated
in 1898. is So years of age, has been
university president, editor of a re-
| ligious publication and has written
books on Georgia's educational work
and other subjects. Last April he de-
clared that the purpose Of Andrew
Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller in
giving $5S,000,00O was "to dominate
the educational interests of this entire
country, and by the bribe Of this enor-
nous sum Of money they have already

National Geographic Society Awards
Him a Medal.

washington, NOV. 3.-FOr having
reached the North Pole, Commander
Robert f.. Peary was today voted a
gold medal by the National Geograph-
ic Society.
The board of managers of the Society
today accepted unanimously the re-
port of its substitute committee of
scientists. who had examined the ex-
plorer's records and proofs, and found
them to be conclusive Of his claim
that he had reached the Pole. The
Society adopted resolution that the
question of. whether or not any ex-
plorer reached the North Pole prior
to 1909 shall be referred to a substi-
tute committee of experts with au-
thorlty to send for papers or make
such Journeys as may be necessary
to inspect original records. This indi-
Gates that the Society purposes as
soon as possible to pass upon the rec
ords of DIR. Frederick A. Cook.
The scientists will spare no ex-
pense in order that they may be con-
vinced on this point. DIR. Cook will
he advised Immediately Of the So
ciety's action.
At the meeting Of the board of man.
ayers there were present fifteen men,
all prominent In the scientific world.
After the report of the substitute COM
mittee was submitted there was de-
bate lasting more than two hours. but
finally the board voted unanimously to
accept the report of the three experts,
who believed without any question of
doubt that Commander Peary reached
the North Pole April s, 1909. In ad-
dition to awarding Commander Peary
"A special gold medal as a token c,f the
highest honor the Society can bestow
upon him, II was also decided that a
medal be given to Capt. r. A. Bart
lett. who was declared by the Society
to have displayed liable seamanship,
pertinacious effort and able manage
ment" during the Peary Arctic expe-
dition.
The report of the substitute COM
mittee of experts. before whom Com
mander Peary appeared with his rec
ords and instruments, was as follows:
THE substitute committee, to which
was referred the task of examining
the records Of Commander Peary in
evidence OF his having reached the
North Pole. beg to report they have
completed their task.
Commander Peary has submitted
to this substitute committee his orr
ginai journal and records of observa-
tions. together with all of his instru-
ments and apparatus and certain of
the most important of the scientific
results of his expedition. These have
been carefully examined by your SUBJ
stitute committee and they are unani-
mously OF the opinion that Command
er Peary reached the North Pole on
April 6. 1909.
They also feel warranted in stating
that the organization. planning nd
management of the expedition. its
complete success and It's scientific re-
suits reflect the greatest credit on
the ability of Commander Robert E.
