Commander Peary will in all prob- ability remain here two days «nd then g0 with his family to his home in Eagle island, in- Casco bay, Maine. There he will rest for a day or two, Dproceeding thence to Wasnington, to make his official réport to the govern- ment. While here he will confer with Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club, and will acquaint himself with the latest details of the Peary-Cook controversy. That Commander Peary is prepared in every way to substantiate his state- ment that Frederick A. Cook did not reach the pole, is stated by nearly ev- ery onme of the large colony of Arctic exPlorers, scientists and others who have gathered here to greet the ex- plorer froym the north. “Commander Peary will have with him incontestable proof to support every statement he has made in con- nection with Dr. Cook’s trip in the Arctic,” said Mr. Bridgman tonight. “Everyone who kpows Peary realizes that he never mdkes statements un- less he can prove them absolutely. When the proper, time comes, and that will be when Dr. Cook has made his statement over his own signature, the proof will be forthcoming. I quite agree with President Hubbard of the Peary Arctic club, that Dr. Cook might have learned weeks ago in Greenland of Commander Peary’s discovery and that in the interim he wove the story of his discovery of the North pole. News, you know, travels fast among the Eskimos and it is quite likely that Dr. Cook heard of what Peary had lone.” Call lssued for Meeting of Polar Com- miseion. * Mr. Bridgman feels' much flattered that Commander Peary said that he was “the only logical candidate for the polar commission.” “The Belgian government in 1895,” Mr. Bridgman continued, “sent an in- vitation to the several nations to at- tend an international polar congres: which met and adopted, a provisional constitution for an international polar commission. The United States gov- ernment designated me to act as its representative at_the congress and 1 took my credentials from the various geographical societies, Arctic and ex- plorers’ clubs. Two vears later a defi- nite call for a meéigng of the commis- slon was issued and the conference was held in Brussels in May of that year. “The commission. was designed to develop a sort of co-ordinate working system of Arctlc exploration which would have prevented just the sort of controversy that now has arisen. The commission also. planned to de- fine the work of the geographical and other scientific branches of such Arc- tic exploration in order that the re- sults of each expedition might be fully determined and labor economized.

The maximum salary will be $7,500 a year. It is hardly probtable that either Prof. Henry C. Emery of Yale, the chair- man, or Alvin J.

Reynolds, the third member of the board, will be called upon to devote his whole time to the work is nét yet known. HALLEY’S COMET PICKED UP. Can Barely Be Outlined With a Big Telescope.

SEVEN DETECTIVES DETAILED | ON SEARCH FOR HER. NO TRACE OF JENNIE LOPEZ Who Disappeared Last Tu:d‘ly from in Front of Her Home, After Talk- ing With a Strange Man. New' York, Sept. 12.—Despite the fact that a general police alarm has been sent out and seven detectives de- tailed to'search for fou front of her home, 305 East Thirty- ninth street, ™ Tuesday night, led by & strange man who §jad apoken toher while she was playing there, no trace of her has been found up to last night. She was last seen walking to- ward Third avenue in Thirty-ninth street by her playmate, four-year-old Carmelina Micelli, of 307 East Thirty- ninth street, who took the strange man to be Bome relative of the Lopez child. Possibly Kidnapped. The detectives yesterday worked on a possible theory that the child had been kidnabped ‘in revenge by some man for whom her father had refused to furnish bail. They learmed® that John Lopez, the father, despite his reputation ig the neighborhood as a man of small means, owns a tenement at 693 First avenue, on the security [ of which he had often in the past fur- nished bail for such of his countrymen as were brought into court as pris- oners. Lopez, however, could not fix suspicion upon any one definitely. Police Without a Clue. Contrary to the father's expectations he received no letter or note yesterday demanding ransom for the girl. He could think of no one who bore him a grudge and the police were left last night practically without a clue. Mean- while the girl’s mother remains jll at her home with her six other children gathered about her. GREAT INTEREST TAKEN OVER INVESTIGATIONS Of Alleged lllegal Operations of Trans- Atlantic Steamship Lines. Washington, Sept. 12.—In official circles here more than,érdinary inter- est is excited over the investigations in New York into the alleged illegal operations of some of the trans-At- lantic steamship lines, especially the Holland-American line. The charges that these lines have entered into con- spiracies with certain American rail- way lines in restraint of trade, that Tebates have been paid them by some :flmdln and -%hl! they have laid lemselves liable to prosecution un- der the terms of the Sherman anti- trust act, did mot surprise those who had followed the proceedings in what was known as.the Cosmopolitan ship- bing case before the irterstate com- merce commission. 5 The proceeding was brought by .the Cosmopolitan - Shipping ‘company of Philadelphia against the Hamburg- American Packet company and other trans-Atlantic steamship lines, Tt is alleged that the ocean lines named en- tered (nto an agreement with the American railroads by which the bulk of European freight sent to this coun- try was handled by the steamship com- pany which also operates a line of trans-Atlantic steamers. The interstate commerce commission investigated the complaint thoroughly and some of the evidence taken appeared to involve some of the defendant lines in viola- tion of the Sherman anti-trust act. The antire testimony was turned over to the department of justice for such action as it might take.. The opinion of the interstate commerce commission in the case was that it had no author- ity over the operations of trans-Atlan- tic steamship companies as-to any rate arrangements they might make, pro- vided it was not shown positively that there was a violation of the interstate cimmerce act. The opinion of the com- mission appeared to indicate that there was no such violation, for the case was dismissed. ‘What bearing the testimony taken in the Cosmopolitan case had on the present case is not known. Except in a-general way, the interstate commerce eommission has no knowledge of the present inquiry. Chairman Knapp said today that the proceedings were insti- tuted by the department of justice and that the commission was not cognizant of the details. OBITUARY. William Lloyd Garrison.
