Reports that some of the leaders OBJ
jected to the meeting of the Democratic
~assefnblymen and senator's which State
Chairman Nugent had called for this
city next Wednesday were proven
groundless today when the leaders who
were quoted as opposing the meeting
declared that they believed the State
chairman had done the proper thing
and hat they would attend.
nator George s. Silzer, of Metuch-

and candidate for the same place this
coming session, said today:

ley, then chairman of the State COM
mittee, to get the boys together to talk
over legislation or any other subjects
they might care to discuss.
The eleven Democratic a~ssemblymen-
elect from Hudson county will attend

the minority last winter, said today
that he saw no reason why he should
not attend.
Following text weeks business meet
ing of the Senators and A~ssemblymen-

Miss Annie S. Peck, of Prov
idence, Risked Life on
Mount Huascaran.

KMISS ANNIE S. PECK, of Provi-
dence, who has just returned
from South America, will write
a book on her experiences in climbing
to the summit of Mount Huascaran, in
the Peruvian Andes, $4,000 feet above
sea level, but she consented to tell be-
forehand of one thrilling incident Of
her ascent.
I'VE reached the summit on Septem-
Der g" she said, land the following
night, as we were making our way
| down, Taugwalder, the guide, who was
leading, slipped and carried me with
him over the edge of a assure. The
other guide, Gabriel Zum Taugwald,
fortunately for us, nae seen the mis-
step and had braced himself with his
alpenstock, so that when the rope that
bound us all together yanked taut he
retained sufficient purchase in the ice
not to be carried off his feet by our
combined weight. He called down TO
us instructions to dig ourselves foot
holds that would tighten the strain
both on the rope md himself and grad
ually pulled us both back to him. 1t
was the closest call | ever had.
1.-The accident was due to the fact
that Taugwalder had frozen both
hands and a foot on the way up, so
that the going with him was especially
difficult. He had lost his gloves and
has since had to have one hand am
putated as a result"
Miss Peck ascribed much of her sue
cess to the two Swiss guides. 1.-THE
altitude of $4,000 feet, which marks the
summit of Mount Huascaran," she
said, SURPRISES, l believe. hat reached
by anyone before me. Heretofore the
record has been held by w. w. Graham,
whose ascent of n of the Himalaya
peaks is set down as a climb of 23,S0O
feet"
In Miss Peck's first attempt to scale
Mount Huascaran, made last August,
the party was compelled to camp on
the ice for nine days. On this occa-
sion the same guide, who on the sec
ond and unsuccessful attempt imper-
lied the caravan by falling into a
~crevasse, was taken ill with ''moun-
tain Sickness" which Miss Peck says
Is in every respect similar to seasick-
ness, and the ascent had to be aband-
oned after a height of 10000 feet had
been reached.
Miss Peck, whose physique is any
thing but Amazonian, gives sound
lungs and heart as the greatest desid-
erata in mountain climbing.

FORAKER ON INJUNcTIoNs.
MARTINS FERRY. O., Jan. II

MdhllsD fEIAhAs VI uaA. -.
Senator Foraker has given his views on
the same propositions regarding court
njunctions as we're recently prOpounded
to and discussed by Secretary OF War
TAFT. Senator Foraker says he would
favor the enactment OF reasonable law
upon which an injunction or temporary
restraining order may issue, defining in
specific terms the language in which
such injunctions or restraining order
may be had.
The Senator believes that no restrain
ing order or injunction should be issued
until after notice to the defendant and
hearing is held upon the petition, ex-
eept only in cases of threatened destruc-
tion of property, or other wrong for
which there may be no adequate remedy
at law.
The Senator believes that final
hearing and determination shall be made
at the earliest practicabel moment after
the making OF the temporary restrain
ing order.
The Senator would give the defendant
a hearing before a jury or before a
Judge.

a chance as anyone in the "field" for it
is the "feld against the favorite--Taft.' .
The Fairbanks boom is in its usually
quiescent stage and since Cortelyou an
nounced that he had not declared him
self candidate and Roosevelt that he
would not be one, interest has centered
on Taft who will command the hearty
support OF a minority of office holders
and considerable number of others.
The Knox movement is beginning to-
show signs Of life, but is not yet sufici-
emily developed to attract special at
tention while the Hughes boom has
scarcely reached Washington. 1t is in

Camon's example and selected q news

The Cortelyou boom has not yet devel.
oped to the press-agent stage and this
seems to be the matter with the Hughes

do better If it's newspaper friends would
spend more time placing the claims Of
Mr.. Taft before the country than in
abusing the other candidates. He Is a

Knox, who has made special study of
the situation, has introduced bill
which will probably form the base for
this legislation. When the Hepburn
| bill was under consideration in the Sen.
ate Mr.. Knox proposed that the pro-
visions Of the bill should apply ito all
common carriers engaged in commerce
to which the regulatiye power of Con-
gress extends under the Constitution of
the United States" In his new bill
Knox includes the above provisions in
connection with the liability of en-
ployers.
Another matter OF widespread inter-
est, particularly at this time, is the
question Of preventing inter state ship
ments OF liquor into States where the
sale of the same is prohibited. This
has regularly come before Congress for
years but heretofore the liquor interests
have always been successful in prevent
ing legislation. With the prohibition
wave sweeping over the country, how
ever it looks as though now is favor
able time for such legislation. 1t does
seem that if State prohibits the sale
OF liquor within its borders it should he
protected against shipments into it from
other States, which reap whatever profit
there is to its citizens in the manufac-
ture of the liquor and the taxes thereon.
It may be doubted, however, if the
probitionists will gain much by this
legislation for it is not to be denied |,
that many persons who cheerfully vote
Tor prohibition do so expecting to have
their own liquor shipped to them pri-
vately' Should they be deprived Of
this privilege they are not likely to look
with 50 much favor on prohibition and .
a reversal of votes may be expected
Whether the detection OF this element |,
will be sufficient to change the com
plexion Of the States is problematical
but this vote may be expected to cut !

enacted. Is
There is much doing in the Presi-
Dental booms. Attention is focused on
the fight in Ohio and it is safe to say
that Foraker has the sympathy of all
except Taft. The other can

except perhaps few Southern votes. I
Consequently they hope he will win in q
Ohio as it would be sad blow to Taft i

CHINESE ARE
THE CHAMPIONS
Kaala Baseball Protest Ruled
Against by the League
President.

The Chinese Athletic Clubs baseball
team are the champions of the Kala-
nianaole League. This was finally de-
cided at meeting of that league held
last night to act upon the protest filed
by the Kaala A. c., the team that
fought out the final games with the
Chinese lads.
There was no dissension at the meet
ing and everything went along
smoothly.
Promptly at p. m. President A K.
Vierra called the meeting to order.
There was a full attendance, but the
representatives of the Chinese club did
not put in an appearance until a few
moments later. Jos. Gee Kim and Ed
ward Ayau, were both looking after
the interests of that club and they did
good work, too.
The Kaala A C. were represented by
Capt. Joe Vierra, who made a strong
plea to have the game replayed. Ed.
Fernandez, the official umpire of the
league, was also present to answer
several questions put TO him. The whole
discussion did not last more than an
hour, at which time the president
questioned Fernandez, as to whether
his decision as to the blocked ball
was final This brought the reply from
Fernandez that it was. For few mo-
ments there was silence, then the chair
read the rules governing baseball to
the members of the league, to the eff
feet that the chair had no authority
to rule in favor of the protest, unless
the umpire had reversed his decision.
''The Chinese A. C. Jrs. are hereby
declared the champions of the Kalani-
anaole League and the protest of the
Kaalas is ruled out of ORDER announc-
ed the chair. This brought three rous-
ing cheers from the Chinese Athletic
Club members present.
The meeting then adjourned. Thus
ends the trouble and A X. Vierra, the
president, has reason to be proud of
the fact that he followed the right
course in the matter. Protests are be-
coming a common matter with the
teams playing at Aala park and few
more are likely to injure the game, if
not to put a stop to it.
