NEW YORK, Oct. New York City and
state today gave Commander Robert e,
Peary a welcome home such as few re-
turning heroes can hope to receive. From
the bridge OF his Arctic ship, Roosevelt,
Commander Peary, with his wife by his
side, was the most prominent feature Of
the siNty-mile Hudson Fulton naval parade
from New York TO Newburgh. All the way
land aud water We'd with each other in
burling their cheers OF congratulstion
through the air to the little ship whereon
the tall military-looking man smiled back
his answer TO their greetings Meanwhile
Captain Bartlett was kept at work so in
cessantly with the whistle cord answering
the salutes of passing craft that Chief En-
gineer Wardwell called up from the engine
room that he would not have steam enough
to move the vessel II he did not stop the
whistle.
Having successfully buffeted the ice packs
Of Smith sound and proved itself so stout
a ship that no sea or ice flOe could turn
Il back. the Roosevelt met with an acci-
dent In the most tranquil part OF the Hud-
son, just below West Point, this afternoon.
Il parted It's port tiller rope and came 10 a
stop. The paishap was quickly discovered
by Commander Peary and anchor was
dropped while the rope was splioed. But
there was a delay OF nearly an hour be-
fore ths boat proceeded toward NsWburEh.

Proofs Awaited
by the National
GeographerS
Neither Cook or Peary Will Be Rec
ognized as Discoverer Until
Facts Are Submitted.

WARRINGTON, oct. LIN view of the
polar controversy the board Of directors of
the National Geographical society today
held a special meeting to determine the
attitude 1t should assume toward Dr.
Frederick A. Cook on the occasion of his
visit here next Sunday, when he will de-
liver a lecture on his Arctic experiences.
The decision was reached that DIR. Cook,
under the circumstances could not be rec
ognized In an official way. The boards S
conclusions we're stated in an announce
ment by Prof. Willis l.. Moore, president
Of the society, in which it was urged that
both Commander Peary and DR.. Cook lose
no time in submitting their observations,
notes and data to competent scientific
commission in the United States. The an
nouncement states:
The society takes this position not from
any distrust Of the personal integrity Of
either explorer. but because of the many
calculations that enter into the determine
tion OF the pole"
Prof. Moore said he did not feel he
could dissassociate himself sufficiently as
president Of the society TO call upon or
to introduce Or. Cook to any audience
while in this city. He could not do so un-
til the board of managers OK the society
having reached the North pole.
Personally, he said, when the announce
ment of Dr. Cooks achievement was first
made he expressed qualification that Cook
had reached the pole, but now that the
board Of managers of the society had in
vited a submission of proof of both Peary
and Cook, he felt he should maintain an
absolutely neutral attitude. Prof. Moore
saw no reason why evidence should not be
submitted to the board at an early day so
that all doubt might be dispelled
Mr.. Moore will maintain the same at
titude toward Commander Peary that he
does toward DIR. Cook.
BOSTON, oct. 1.-Dr. Cook. the Arctic
explorer, arrived here from New York
today. With reference to the recommends
tion Of the National Geographical society
that the proof OF his polar claims be sub
mitted by DR.. Cook to a tribunal selected
by the national body, DR.. Cook said his
proof would go first to the University of
Copenhagen.

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 1.-Commissioner
Charles A. Prouty, who is hearing addi-
tional testimony on the Spokane freight
rate case, hinted today that the Interstate
Commerce commission is contemplating re-
ductions in many of the commodity rates
to Spokane. That these rates will be in
proportion to the rates to Seattle and
coast is believed by local jobbers. Com
missioner Prouty called on the railroads
repeatedly for explanation of the excess
in rates to Spokane over coast points.

PARADE IS CALLED OFF
Street Demonstration, Strikers Fear,
Might Not Be Wise Thing.
MANY MEN APPLY FOR WORK
Long Line at Company HeRdqunr-
ters to Receive Steady work
in the Service of the
Street Railway.

Fearing a public demonstration Of the
kind might not prove wise for the best
interests of all concerned, strike leaders,
in consultation with business men, have
agreed to call off the big labor parade
proposed for Saturday.
The street railway company is in the
calm pursuit Of its policy in relation to the
strike and the strikers are following their
program. Friday has developed little that
changes the situation.
A long line of men were awaiting the
opening of the employment department
at the car companys offices in the morn
ing. Among these men were several whose
uniforms indicated former service with the
company. The company continues to put
on more men, choosing the desirable from
the big list Of applicants. Assistant Cen
eral Manager L-eussler has a tall stack of
applications from men from widely sepa-
rated sections of the country. He says that
car men in the east who want TO come
west.
No Change in Program.
President wattles says that so far as the
company is concerned. there is no change
of program.
There is a great deal of talk and dis
cussion about Wattles," he remarked. IF
they want the strike stopped why don't
they go to the strikers? We didn't start
it, We did everything possible to avert the
strike.
mo, have heard nothing from the gov
ernor, but we court any fair investigation
of the strike and its causes"

arrest of those who had been causing
trouble with the cars and remarked that
when the disturbers learned that there
would always be punishment for their
action there would be peace.
Cheap Fare Ordinance.
The strike leaders were out at work
among the men early in the day. The
strikers have put into circulation petitions
for the submission of an ordinance for
cheaper street car fares. A thousand
copies have been issued and the strikers
claim that they will all be circulated. Ben
Commons is taking charge OF the distribu-
tion of the petitions. The fare ordinance
calls for six tickets for 25 cents for adults
and twelve tickets for % cents for school
children.
The parade Of the combined labor inter
ests of Omaha, South Omaha and Council
, Bluffs, planned for Saturday afternoon
| has been called off.
Some of the business people who are
cooperating with us in our efforts feel that
the parade had best not be held at this
time" explained Mr.. Pratt. I'VE do not
want to do anything which in their judg-
ment would hurt the interest OF the city"
The executive board OF the International
union, now in session at Detroit has tele-
graphed Pratt to stay on the Job here and
commended the action Of the Omaha union
| carmen.
At meeting of the board OF governors
OF Ak-sar-Ben in progress at the Loyal
hotel 1t was practically decided that the
efforts OF that body IN bringing about a
strike settlement in the interest of the fall
festival were fruitless and that nothing
further could be done.

Regulation Requiring Guard Rails
Not Effective Until Apru.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has modified its regulation requiring guard
rails on summer street cars.
Originally Il would be effective Septem-

The modified regulation only provides
for two sand boxes on cars instead OF
the four formerly used. The change in
the former was instigated by the Capital
Traction Company, and the latter at the
request Of both the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
