frlghfened the hotel people with threatened law
suits.
Accordingly several plans have been prepared
one was to give each club member a photograph
OF Louis Wiley the secretary, hang d the foot
OF the bed The chief objection this scheme
however. was that it would either keep one awake
ali night or plague sleeper with nightmare. An
other suggestion was to have Charles ". Price the
treasurer collect the dues the night before on the
condition that the money should be refunded If
the member caught the train This plan. however
was knocked in the head by the point blank re-
fusal of the treasurer himself who said such
act would violate the traditions of his office
The poets, W. J. hampton and r K. Munkit-
trick, were then asked write some verses on the
subject Of early rising, which the members might
nemorize before retiring. The poets seemed eager
enough to furnish any of poetry
theme which they said particularly elevating
TO all concerned; but were checked in time by
George H Daniels, president of the organization.
Mr. Daniels said the poems would have
effect than the secretary's picture. The hotel
people were still undecided what plan
adopt when the press censor of Saratoga went to
bed at midnight tonight
Although the official poets were smothered by the
vigilance Of Mr.. Daniels, another poem made its
appearance to-day which has thus far defed the
Saratoga police. Commander R E. Peary, of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. the noted Arctic explorer,
has also started q search after the poet;
but finds him elusive the North Pole. Com
mander Peary told the club at its meeting last
night of his hardshps the Greenland icepack.
He said to-day that they were pleasure, compared
with the experiences involved in his present explo
ration. The poem is as follows:
