New York. Sept. 21.— it's goo& to ln«
an American it spgipk that I have
been gone ton years." This was the
first statement expressed by Dr. Fred
erlclc A. cook of Brooklyn on coining
ashore here today.
After rending New York papers con
taining long reports concerning Com
mander Poary'B achievement, Dr. Cook
said:
There is nothing'new here, and
shall wait until something more d©n»
nlte is published before saying any*
thing furl her on the matter."
Aside from this short reference to
Peary, his oxpresEions todfiy chielly
concermd the joy of his arrival at
home. It was a day of varied emotion
for the explorer and although he is not
an emotional man his eyes glistened as
he saw the beach of Fire Island as the
Oscar II passed close inshore and the
passengers were able to distinguish
plainly objects 011 land.

Dr. Cook lns?t night sent a wireless
dispatch to his wife, asking her to
come down tho bay and join him on
board, thus to avoid the crush ^t the
public greeting today. Mrs. Cook was
slightly indisposed, however, and re
plied by wireless that she would be
unable to come.
One of the first to greet, the explorer
was John R. Bradley, who provided
funds for Dr. Cook's expedition.
Music, cheering and a display of
colors greeted Dr. Cook when he set
foot in Brooklyn. A triumphal arch
had been erected opposite his old
home, under which the parade of au
tomobiles. with the explorer in the
lead, passed en route to the Bushwick
club. There his old friends and neigh
bors met hiin.

GREELY TELLS OF RETREAT
Explains Why He Abandoned Stores
That Peary Party Found.
North Conway, N. II., Sept. 21.—
General A. W. Greely, U. S. A., (re
tired), talked briefly regarding the dis
covery by Commander Robert
Peary's party of some of the stores of
the Greely expedition in 3S83. Ho
said:
"Those stores were left by me in
1SS3 when retreating southward. In
1S98. when Peary went north during
the winter trom his ship then winter
ing at Cape Durvillo, he was badly
frozen and was obliged to seek shel
ter at my old quarters in Discovery
bay. iln then lost eight toes and was
saved from death by the stores then
found by him In good condition.
"There was, left at. Conger all the
books, clothing and other personal be
longings of twenty-five men. Almost
anything tnipht be found, a3 we took
with us only our scientific records,
diaries and the clothing which we
wore, with ten pounds of selected per
sonal property for each man."

Sydney, X. S.. Sept. 21. Com
mander Robert E. Peary made his en
try into Sydney today. Mrs. Peary,
her daughter. Marie, and little Robert
E. Peary met the commander last
night, the family having sailed north
on the steam yacht, Sheelah, owned
by James Ross, president of the Do
minion Coal company.
News that Peary was nearing port
and would probably land, caused a gen
era! cessation of business in the'town.
Large crowds swarmed into the streets
and to the water front to welcome tho
explorer. All manner of water craft,
from yachts to sail boats, sporting
their colors, moved down the bay when
three blasts of the whistle were heard,
which was the signal that the Roose
velt was approaching.
The proposed banquet for the ex
plorer has been held in abeyance until
Commander Peary has communicatcd
his wishes to the mayor.

The president found Omafca in the
throes of a great street car strike. To
avoid the possibility of trouble, Mayor
James C. Dahfmun ordered called off
all attempts to run cars during the
president's stay. The strike did not
prevent, the gathering of a great crowd
I11 the down town districts and there
were times when the president's auto
mobile had diflloulty in making its way
through the cheering throng.
Talks About the Railroads.
In Des .Moines Toft, set forth his
ideas wilh regard to railroad legisla
tion. He declared in a speech that he
is in favor of an interstate commerce
court, similar to the recently estab
lished tariff court, to pass on appeals
from the interstate commerce commis
sion, to expedite and enforce decisions.
lie would increase the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, giv
ing it authority to institute as well as
hear complaints against unjust rates
and to suspend or nullify burdensome
rules and regulations by railroads.
Taft would give the commission
power to correct evils in classification
which has appeared siuce the estab
lishment of the principlo of govern
ment rate regulation.
The president has in view also the
regulation of stock issues so as to pre
vent watering and the prohibition of
the ownership by one road of tho
stock of a competing line.
He would allow rate agreement be
tween railroads—not "pooling." ho
specifies—subject to approval by the
interstate commerce commission.
Discusses Anti-Trust Law,
In taking up the anti-trust law.
President Taft said he thought it
might be made effective by confinim?
its provisions to combinations having
monopoly in view. He declared that
he knew of no way in which a dis
tinction could be made between "good"
and "bad" trusts, for he regarded all
combinations to suppress competition
and to maintain a monopoly to be in
the same category, whether the terms
of the illegal contract should be re
garded in some instances as "reason
able" or "unreasonable."
The president also discussed at
some length the proposal to except la
bor unions and farmers' organizations
from the operation of the anti-trust
law. To specifically except these or
ganizations. he declared, would be
vicious legislation, but he pointed a
way in which they could be relieved ot
some of the onerous restrictions now
placed on them, but at the same time
he held amenable to injunctions, which
form of procedure he believes ade
quate to deal with any violations by
the unions.
EUROPE WAITING FOR
RAILROAD REGULATION
Investors Want to Be Insured
Against Financial Juggling.
Washington. Sept. 21.—"HundredB
of miltons of dollars are in England.
France and Germany awaiting invest
ment in American railroad securities
as soon as the investors can be assured
of absolute federal regulation."
This statement was made by Frank
lin K. Lane of the interstate commerce
commission, who has returned from a
trip of nearly three months in Europe.
He visited England, France, Germany,
Switzerland and Italy and studied tht
railroad situation in all of those coun
tries.
"Men of money abroad," continued
Commissioner Lane, are satisfied that
America is
011
the eve of a phenomenal
era of prosperity and arp ready and
anxious to invest their money in any
stable enterprise in this country but
what they want,
is some assurance from
the government that their investments
will be protected In a fair way. They
would like to see capitalization of our
railroads hedged about by federal leg
islation so that a purchaser of stock
would be assured of getting what he
paid for. With the enactment of a law
to prevent over-capltallzation, Ameri
can railroads would have no difficulty
in obtaining in Europe all the money
necessary for their development."
Commissioner Lane will leave Wash
ington the latter part of the week for
Chicago to attend a meeting of the de
murrage committee of the National As
sociation of Railroad commissioners.
