CONFER ON CHILD LABOR
BILL AT WHITE HOUSE

Child labor legislation, which Presi-

session of Congress, was discussed by
him yesterday with Senator Simmons,
of Congress. His callers left with the
impression that while the President
was very anxious to have the bill
passed, he would leave the decision to

Some tragic fatality seems to dog

was formed, and especially since the
unfortunate outbreak in Dublin. has
been lamentable. They have disre-

to induce our people to make a tre-

temporary exclusion of the six Ulster
counties, they throw this agreement

Great Britain finds itself. al one OF
the most critical stages of the war,

no light ahead. The nationalist mem
berS of the house of commons, who as
a party thus far have supported the
governments war and domestic meas
ures. threaten to shift their position
and to become an opposition party. me
position of the nationaliSts, moreover,
is anomalous. Discomfort in Ireland
over the governments dealings with
the insurrection has become so wide
spread. according to all reports, that
the nationalists have lost the conf
dence of their constituents, and prob
ably would be repudated if they stood

Is difficult to ascribe any one leading
cause for the upset Of six members of

in fifth place in the senatorial race

Gov Colquitt has written some sar-
castle remarks about the administra-
ton, which have been used in the House
on the republican side to taunt the
democrats. 1t is true that he appealed
to the voters of Texas on the ground
that President Wilson has adopted the
wrong course toward Mexico, and it is
true he polled a larger vote than any
of his opponents. However, Colquitt
is still far short of a majority. and
what is known as 'run-off" primary
will still have to be held to determine
the nominee.
Representative Galloway, a little

his ceceat is taken by administration

IS SURE
 CR0CKER LAND
 REALLY EXISTS

New York, Aug. 26-Rear Admiral Robert F. Peary reiterates his con- fidence in the existence of Crocker Land, basing his opinion on the be- lief that he saw it i1i July, 1906. The admiral's statement, telegraphed to the Tribune from his summer place in Maine, was called forth by the fact that Ensign Fitzhugh Green, the naval officer assigned to the Mac Milan Crocker Land Arctic Expedi- ton, made no report of whether the expedition found Crocker Land in an- nouncing to the navy department his safe arrival at Copenhagen August 14.
 After quoting from his original narrative of his expedition, the story of his first view of what he believed to be Crocker Land, Admiral Peary said:
 "It may be that MacMillan and I were both misled by the nearly per- manent clouds of condensation over persistent lanes of water. Or un- equal refra ction, which occurs in the Arctic regions, may have lifted in- to view land that was in reality we'll below the horizon and my estimate of the distance of Crocker Land may have been too moderate. It will be well to await the completion of Ste- fanssons discoveries before dismissing Crocker Land"
