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.

HIS VIEWS ABOUT BAILBOADS Executive Expresses Himself as Being In Favor of the Establishment of a Court For the Adjudication of Ques tions Arising Between Shippers, Consignees and Carriers Omaha Mayor, to Prevent Strike Disorder, Orders Street Cars Kept In Barns. Denver, Sept. 21.—President Tatt to night is scheduled to speak here on matters involved in the so-called Pin ehot-Ballinger controversy. It is ex pected that bis speech will clear away what he states have been misunder standing with refcience to coal lands in Alsaku and other things. 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. JUDGE GRILLS RICH BREWER Refuses to Pay $500 to Keep Former Wife Out of Prison.
