that he attempted the foolhardy feat Of ascend

He had declined to take a guide from the inn.

through his glass, that he was prepared to mako
the ascent alone. and intended to register him
self in the record book on the summit as q

500 feet Of the summit. when. instead OF taking
the safe but longer route, he attempted to climb
a steep incline, where the snow covers q treach-

step is likely to bring down an avalanche.
In his fearful descent he endeavored to arrest

THAT HEMPsrEAD BOUNDARY LINE
sIr. Van vechten Hays the Action OF the Town
Board In Changing IL Was Illegal.

l1r. Van Vechten Sayn the Action OF the IoWn
Board in Changing IL Was Illegal.
JAMAICA, L. l., July 14.-Queens county OH
cials are wondering just what effect the action
Of the Town Board of Hampstead in changing
the Greater New York boundary line in the
town of Hampstead will have. Many Of them
contend that the authority OF the Legislature
in the matter is supreme, and that It will be
found, on appeal to the courts. that the Town
Board does not possess the authority to decide
upon a boundary line already ds1nod by the
State Legislature.
The first question over the boundary limo Of
the greater city in the town Of Hampstead came
up prior to the election in 1894. The question
OF a big city was to be submitted to the voters,
and as only one-hah of the town OF Hampstead
was to be taken in it became necessary for
County Clerk Sutphin to determine just what
election districts in the town Of Hampstead
authorized County clerk sutphin to have a sur.
vey made based upon the wording Of the law:
The survey was made, the map was filed In
the Office OF the County. Clerk, and q certified
copy of it was placed in the office of the Clerk of
the town Of Hampstead. The act Of the Legis-
charter approved by the last Legislature both
contain exactly the same words relating to tho
boundary line through the town.
Francis Fl. Van Vechten, who Is counsel TO
his opinion the action Of the Town Board would
be set aside by the courts on the ground that 1t
did not possess the authority to define the boun.
Harry line. He said that because the channel has
shifted by the action of tide and wind 355 feet
west of the original line as described in the act
vote of the people, the boundary line does not
change accordingly, but remains as first set.
