NATURALIZATION
PAPERS ANNULLED
FOR. 16 CITIZENS
Papers Are Faulty and in Some
Cases There Is Evidence of
Fraudulent Intent.
Lincoln, Nab.. Oct. 3. Rees use of
•vnriousiirregularities In obtaining nat
uralization papers, lfi Nebraska resi
dents ot different nationalities will
probably have to go through the pro
cess of being made citizens a second
time. Papers have been completed in
ihe office of United States Attorney A.
\V. Lane for filing in the federal court
attacking the validity of their certifi
cates. Most of those whose citizenship
is thus called into question live at
Omaha and South Omaha, but others
are scattered over the state. The list
includes Germans, Bohemians, Scandi
navians, Italians, an Irishman or tvm
and others of miscellaneous nativity^
The suits to have the decrees of nat
uralization set aside will he commenced
In the districts where the persons re
spectively live. Only two of the num
ber will be filed in the Lincoln division.
In some cases it will be alleged that
the individual was naturalized illegally
before he had been in this country five
years. Another ground will be that
some of them were more than 18 years
old on arriving in this country and
did not make a formal declaration of
Jtheir intention to become citizens,
which is required of all except those
coming here as minors. In one or two
instances the claim will be made that
the certificate is defective because wit
nesses for tlie person naturalized were
not themselves citizens.
ILLINOIS SEEKS TO TAX
E. H. HARRIMAN’S ESTATE
Chicago, Oct. 5.—Enforcement of the
new Illinois inheritance tax law is ex
pected to bring into the state treas
ury a large sum from the estate of Ed
ward H. Harriman.
Walter K. Lincoln, inheritance tax at
torney, acting for Attorney General
Stead, petitioned County Judge Binaker
to have J. Scott Matthews appointed
inheritance tax appraiser to appraise
the estate of Mr. Harriman, which was
granted.
Although Mr. Harriman died a non
resident of Illinois, this fact, it is con
tended, will not prevent the taxation
here of a large part of his estate. As
no appraiser lias been appointed in New
York state, the first official valuation
placed on the vast Harriman estate
may be had when the Illinois officials
publish their investigation.
In his petition the inheritance tax
attorney specifically avers that the
enormous holdings of the Harriman es
tate in the Illinois Central Railroad
company, Chicago & Alton railroad,
Illinois Tunnel company and a long list
of properties with plants in Illinois aro
all subject to taxation under the new
law. It Is expected the first hearing
.will be early this month.

New York. Oct. 4.—The whistles of
a hundred harbor craft shrieked a con
tinuous salute to the steamer Roosevelt
as she ploughed up the harbor this
morning at the moment when Com
mander Robert E. Peary stepped from
a train in the Grand Central station,
returning to New York from his trip
to the north pole to participate in the
Hudson-Fulton naval parade up the
Hudson river.
The Roosevelt was -well on her way
from the quarantine station on Staten
island to the pier at the foot of West
Forty-second street, where the ex
plorer was to board her, when Com
mander Peary arrived at 7:15 a. m. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Peary.
Few to Meet Them.
The hour of their arrival was so
early that few persons were at the sta
tion to greet them. They were warm
ly greeted, however, by Herbert L:
Hrldgman, secretary of the Peary
Arctic club. A group of newspaper
men also was gathered on the platform,
and they crowded around the com
mander and questioned him about his
trip to the far north. With the laugh
ing remark that he was too hungry to
talk. Commander Peary turned aside
the questioners and hastened across
the street for breakfast.
After a hurried breakfast the com
mander and Mrs. Peary left the hotel
for the pier at the foot of East Forty
second street, where they were to board
ithe Roosevelt.
Won’t Talk Any More.
Members of the Peary Arctic club
and close friends of the explorer will
discuss with him during his stay in
the city the various phases of the
north pole controversy, but Com
mander Peary said he would not talk
about the subject for publication until
his formal statement was prepared.
"I appreciate the honor of being in
today’s naval parade," said the com
mander. just before alighting from the
train, "and it is an especial pleasure
to be with my crew on board the
Roosevelt on such an occasion. There
is nothing to be said now about the
Cook controversy.”
Commander Peary did not know how
long he would remain in New York be
fore returning to his home at Eagle
island.
When Commander Peary, Mrs. Peary
and Herbert L. Bridgman boarded the
Roosevelt for the trip up the Hudson
it had not been decided how far up the
river he will go.
Crowd Doesn’t Know Him.
I After reaching the pier Mr. Peary
’walked up and down for several min
(utes without being recognized by some
1200 persons gathered there for a glimpse
of the Roosevelt. The little steamer
was anchored out in the stream with
Ithe north pole flag at her mizzen mast
and the flags which in the international
'signal code read "Thank you” flying
(beneath It.
"How does it feel to be back home?”
asked some one.
1 “It does not feel so worse, in the
words of Chimmie McFadden," replied
Peary.
Then his eyes turned back fondly to
the Roosevelt.
“She does not look like a very im
posing ship, dors she?” lie said. "But
up in the ice she looks like something,
and there were times W'hen she locked
mighty good to me. You notice the
way she is built. The round of bow
prevents the ice from keeping hold of
her when she is squeezed, and she bobs
up when the ice crushes together."
Telling of the adoption of the north
pole flag which the steamer bears,
Commander Peary said:
“I wanted a piece of the silk flag I
flew at the pole to bury at that, point
with my records, so I cut a diagonal
strip out of it. Then, to preserve the
flag, I sewed a strip of white silk into
the cut when I returned to the Roose
velt. The design seemed so appropri
ate that we lettered this strip and
adopted it as the north pole ensign.”
Mr. and Mrs. Peary had stepped on
board the tug and were on their way
to the Roosevelt before the crowd at
the dock realized who they were. Then
there was a burst of cheering. Hand
kerchiefs and hats were waved and the
whistles renewed their blasts.
Captain Bartlett and the crew of 19
men still wore on the Roosevelt, the
garments they had chosen for their
rough trip to the Arctic—flannel shirty
fur boots and picturesque sea togs.
