Railroad Magnates Gain
Concession From Taft.
MORGAN PLANNED CONFERENCE
He Saw Mr. Taft at the White
House and Arranged For Visit
by Hepresentatives of Six
Great Systems.
Washington, Jnn. 4. While the con
ference at the White House between
President Taft nnd the heads of six
great railway systems was not produc
tive of any change in the president's
policy of advocating important amend
ments to the Interstate commerce law,
the railway men went nway satisfied
that they had persuaded the president
to modify some of the views which he
was prepared to urge on congress.
The president indicated that he was
ready to acknowledge the justice of
contentions made by the railway men
and agreed to modify some of the
most important provisions of the
measure which has been drawn under
his direction.
An example of this Judicial spirit ou
the part of the president was afforded
in the matter of objections made by
the railway men to the provision iu
the proposed administration bill that
uo railroad company should acquire
stock in any competing railroad com
pany or hold stock in a competing rail
road. It was pointed out to the president
that this would tend to work great
hardship to minority stockholders of
railroads whose stock was controlled
by competing companies. An instance
where such Injustice might result wns
cited in the case of the Now lork Cen
tral and Hudson Hlver Railroad com
pany and, the Wnst- , Stinr. lfo'l-ivul
company.
It was explained' to the president
that the New York Central owned a
majority stock in the West Shore and
that through the proposed provisions
the individuals holding the minority
stock of the West Shore would be pre
vented from disposing of their stock
holdings to the New 1'ork Central,
which was, It was asserted, their only
prospective market.
Again it was held that if the hold
ings of the Central In the West Shore
had to be sold In compliance with the
proposed law the individual minority
stockholders would be obliged to dis
pose of their holdings ut a sacrltlce.
President Taft and Attorney General
Wickorshain were impressed with the
argument presented, and as a result
they agreed to change the draft of the
proposed bill, and the president in ad
dition said he would revise his mes
sage to conform to the change so as to
provide that where otic railroad com
pany owned a majority of stock iu a
competing railroad it shall have the
right to buy additional stock or all the
remaining minority stock of such rail
road, provided, of course, in doing so
it would not come in conlllct with the
provisions of the Sherman antitrust
law forbidding combinations iu re
straint of trade.
The bill will provide, however, that
where one railroad company owns u
minority interest in the stock of a
competing company it shall not in
crease Its stock holdings iu that com
peting company.
Incident to the conference it became
known that the visit of the railroad
presidents to the White House was ar
rai ged for by J. P. Morgan. When
President Taft was iu New York lust
Thursday u suggestion came to him
that Mr. Morgan would like to talk
with him before Mr. Taft's departure
for Washington.
However, this was not feasible, and
it was agreed that Mr. Morgan should
call ou the president in Washington
on Krlday morning. At that Inter
view the president and Mr. Morgan
had a brief discussion of the proposed
changes in the interstate commerce
law, and the arrangement was made
which resulted iu the visit of the sir
railroad presidents to the Whl'to
House.
Partly ou account of the delay wbich
would bo caused by making the
changes promised the railroad men In
his special message and the draft of
the Interstate commerce bill President
Taft has decided to divide his mes
sage Into two sections, one dealing
with the subject of antitrust law and
advocating federal Incorporation for
interstate corporations and the otbet
urging that the Interstate commerce
law be amended along tho lines pro
jtosed by the administration bill.
The antitrust and federal Incorpora
tion message will go to cougresa on
Thursday and will contain about 4,000
words. The message advocating
changes In the Interstate commerce,
law will so toVnKrew on Friday.

Report of Its Landing at

RECORDS FOUND IN BASKET.
Danish Explorer May Have Crossed
Arctio Circle Nearly Twelve
Years Before Peary Reach

Prince Albert, Snsk., Jan. 4. Tho
finding of Andree's balloon ut Reindeer
lake, in the nrctlc circle, IKK) miles
north of here, is confirmed by AVllllani
Irviue, a Hudson Ray company trader
from Fort Good Hope, and a party
will bo sent up tp brlug back the relic.
Irvine says that the Indians have
several books which were found in
tho basket of the balloon, and these
are the records kept by Andree of his
trip across the frozen north land.
The Danish consul nt Montreal has
directed the sending out of nn expedi
tion to bring back tho remnants of the
explorer, and the Swedish government
by cable Iuy agreed to pay all tho ex
penses of such a trip and provide men
to take charge who are well versed in
northern exploration world.
It Is believed that Andree In his bal-
loon may have crossed the north polar

Til0 jlev. nr. Tuniuetll. the mission
I ary in charge in northern Saskatche-
wan and the Mackenzie river district,
brought In the original news of the
1 discovery. Rlshop Pascal of this city
, Is authority for the story told by the
i missionary.
I Dr. Turquetil speaks Cree, Chlppe-
wayan and Rlnckfeet tluently and read
ily understands the Eskimo language.
He is stationed in the far north nt
Reindeer lnkc. a settlement altr.ost en
tirely inhabited by Chlppewayaus.
Within about six days' travel by dog
sleigh east from Reindeer lake by the
Hudson Ray seas or seven days' travel
in a northerly direction from Fort
Churchill is the Eskimos' land. This
territory Is almost fifteen days' dog
sleigh traveling from tills place.
The missionary was anxious to visit
this new territory and to learn some
thing of the customs of the Eskimos.
A number of Chlppewnyans agreed to
accompany him. The district was
readied after about eight days' travel
ing. Turquetil carried a small revoiv-
, -!- 1
er. nnd this is the instrument by which
ho first received information of white
men having visited the country.
The natives were greatly Interested
In the missionary's novelty and exam
ined it closely. Turquetil, after show
ing them its use by killing birds fly
ing nbout in'the thickets, handed It to
ono of them for examination.
"That looks like the thing that white
mun had," said one of the Eskimos to
his companions.
"Yes," returned the other.
"What white man?" inquired Tur
quetil. The Indians snld that "n white house
had fallen from the sky, that it was
covered with ropes and that three men
were In It."
They also told where the house had
fallen", adding that the men, who were
very hungry, had died shortly after
their arrival. The Eskimos had used
the ropes and were still using them In
padding their canoes and fixing their
tents.
Dr. Tuniuetll In relating his story
here said ho believed that Andree and
his companions had shot some deer or
other animals after arriving, and the
Eskimos, becoming angry, killed them.
Irvine, who has for many years been
in chrrge of the Hudson Ray post nt
Fort Good Hope, says that Indians in
his district told him they saw the bal
loon traveling very low and watched
it for hours before it descended, u
had three men in it.
Solomon August Andree, the Swed
ish noronnut and explorer, left Danes
Island. Snltzbergcn, Denmark, on July
11 1K!7. in a well equipped balloon to
sail over tho north pole.
Andree's balloon was slxty-seveu
feet In diameter, with n capacity of
170,000 cubic feet. Its speed was esti
mated nt from twelve to fifteen miles
an hour, at which rato the polo should
have been reached in six days, pro
vided n favorable nnd constant wind
had been blowing.
Two days after his departure a mes
sage was received by carrier pigeon,
which stated that at noon on July 13
they were in latitude 82.2 degrees and
longitude 1B.0 degrees and making
good progress. This was the last word
recelred from the explorer.
