New York, Dec. 16.--No additional
details concerning the purchase of two
independent telephone companies IN
Ohio were obtainable today at the Of
fiGe of j r. Morgan, except the state
ment that no merger with the Bell
company is contemplated. Members OF
the Morgan firm were non -commitai
regarding the report that other inde-

are likely to be taken over. Despite
deRials of any absorption or closer
working agreement between the Bell
company and independents 1t is signi-
iicant that Henry P. Dawson, of Nor

rector of the American Telephone and

trict it is believed a gradual absorption
of the more active independent tele-

the country is under way, with the ul-
innate purpose of some day welding
them into one comprehensive whole.

National Geographical Society Confers
Title as True Dscoverer of Pole.
Washington, Dec. 16.-The title of
True Discoverer of the North Pole"
was conferred officially last night upon
Commander Robert E. Peary by the
National Geographical Society. At a
guests at the New Willard Hotel, Prof.
Willis Moore, in the presence of dis
tingulshed representatives of foreign
nations. presented to Commander
Peary the gold medal of the society in
recognition of his great achievement.
In the same ceremony which placed
the seal of Americas official approval
upon Peary, the society cast DR.. Cook,
into the outer darkness as fakir.
President Moore was unsparing in his
condemnation of Cook, tho he did not
mention him by name.
He told how Peary made his records
day by day on his march to the pole
and did not have to prepare and edit
them when he returned home. He de-
clared he had examined Pearys rec
ords minutely and that there was alb
solutely no doubt that Peary had
reached the pole. AS for some bther
claimants, he could not say so much.
Then Commander Peary himself took
a few shots at Cook. He asserted that
experience alone was what achieved
the. pole and that no inexperienced
man, blessed even with phenomenal
luck, could have done what 1t took
him twenty years to accomplish. Cooks
partisans appeared to be conspicuous
by their absence. and all references to
the recognition of Peary as the true
discoverer and to Cook as the fakir
ELECTED tremendous applause.

APPOINTED CLERK ousTED.

Supreme Court Decides in Favor Of
Man Elected in Emmet County.
Des Moines. Dec 16-The supreme
court in an opinion handed down yes
terday GUSTS C. NJ Brown from his po-
sition as clerk of the district court in
Emmet county.
Brown has been holding the job un-
der appointment Of Judge Bailie of the
district court, and in resistance to the
demands of l.. Heffelfinger that he re-
linguish the office to him by reason of
his appointment to the place by the
board of supervisors of Emmett county.
John Amundsen was clerk in 1908
and was reelected to a term of two
years, to begin Jan. l, 1909. He died
Nov. IS, and Judge Bailie, acting under
a section of the statute giving him the
right to appoint a man to act as clerk
until the vacancy was filed In the
manner provided by law. gave G. M.
Brown the place.
! Subsequent to this appointment, the
supervisors met and, acting under the
same statute, appointed L. Heffelfnger
to serve out the remainder OF Amund-
sens term, and alta later meeting ap-
pointed him to serve the two year term
beginning Jan. 1, 1909.
Heffelfinger made demand upon
Brown to relinquish the office to him,
but the latter refused, asserting that
he had been appointed by a district

judge according to law. and that the

judge according to law. and that the
job was his.
In the opinion the supreme court
states that there can be no doubt but
what the provision in the statute for
the appointment of a clerk by a district
judge in case of a vacancy by death,
is merely temporary and to prevent a
tying up of the courts. The office of
clerk is important, the supreme court
says, and the legislature evidently fore
saw the delays which might come If
the temporary appointment were left to
supervisors, as deadlocks on appoint
ments are not uncommon. If dead
lock of the supervisors in such a case
should devolep the courts would be
tied up until the deadlock was broken
and such condition of affairs would
be of great detriment.

REIGN FULL OF TRIBuLATloNs.
Lots Of Trouble During the Forty-Four
Years Leopold Has Been kinq.

Lots Of Trouble During the Forty -Four
Years Leopold Has Been King.
Brussels, Belgium, Dec. Is. - The
forty-four years that Leopold IL has
passed on the throne of Belgium have
been years of tribulations for him and
his family and for the Belgian people,
There seems to be curse resting on
him and his descendants, and many
people have said that the curse was
laid by the king himself.
His own history is a long series Of
prof1igacies. The history of his fam
lily is one of misfortunes.
His reign has been a search after
pleasure that seemed forever to elude
him. With all the pride of monarchy
surrounding him, no sign of happiness
has come to him except as he has pur-
sued it and caught it by force. His mar
ried life was a tragedy for him no less
than for his wife, Queen Marie Hen
riette, the queen of sorrows" who died
it is said, of broken heart. The hus-
band had caused her enough heart
breaks. -Four years ago he became the
husband of morganatic wife, the pres
ent Baroness Vaughan who bore him
son, and with whom he has seemed to
live happily during the last years of his
long life.
Louis Philippe Marie Victor Leopold
became king of the Belgians Dec 10,
1865, upon the death of his father, Leo
pold l. The latter was a younger SON
Of the Duke of Sake Coburg- -Saalfield,
and thru that relationship an uncle of
Queen Victoria of England.

$780, when the international broils were
precipitated, as usual, by a change of
dynasty in France, the young German
was offered first the throne of Greece,
which he declined. and then that of Bel
GUM. He entered upon his reign as
king of the Belgians in 1881, ruling we'll
until his death in 1855.
Leopold II was nearly 81 years old
when he succeeded his father, in 1866.
AT that time he was married to Marie
Henriette, who died in 1902, and was the
father of two daughters by her! Prin-
cess Louise, born Feb. IS, 1858, and
Princess Stephanie, born May 81, 1854
His only son by the queen, Count Leo
pold of Haniault, died at the age of
10 years. His third daughter, Princess
Clementhine, was born in 1872
The death of the heir to the throne
was only one of Leopold's troubles An
other great sorrow, one that he felt
keenly at the time, was the misfortune
of his only sister, the Empress Carlotta
of Mexico.
The empire of Mexico was a dream
of Napoleon LII. Emperor Macmillan
and his consort, Empress Carlotta,
were promised a land of kindly people
and of great possibilities. They were
thrown into a country without a gov
ernment, hostile to everything French.
The emperor was captured by the revo-
lutionists and executed.

their ancestors is the conclusion of the

in the preliminary report of that body,
which today was presented to congress.
The discovery is regarded as of inn

indicating the development of a dis

to have changed under new environ

CHARITY BALL NETS $4,000.
Declared to Have Been Most Success

Declared to Have Been Most Success
fuI Ever Held in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec 16.-Under wealth
Of soft oriental coloring, on polished
surface fanked by Johnny Hands mu-
sicians and the First Regiment Band,
society at the auditorium last night
danced a round $4,000 in net receipts
into the fund to help those who never
see charity balls and who need money
to keep the wolf from the door.
Withal, 1t was a light hearted gath
ering which rhythmically trailed after
Gen. Frederick Dent Grant and Mrs.
Potter Palmer In the grand march to
the strains of "The Royal Trumpeters,"
by Godfrey. It was a merry gathering
which swayed in sympathy with Miss
Ruth st. Denis when the dancer
clasped her bejeweled hands in the
shifting light of the calcium and threw
herself into the ectasy Of the "Cobra''
dance. And 1t was a Joyous company
which later romped in to the two steps
and glided more sedately in the waltzes
which were played alternately by the
time 1lonored Mr. Hand and the mil
itary musicians.
Mrs. Palmer vote the display of
gowns, Jewels, and fine linen as bril-
liant as Chicago eyer has witnessed in
It's series cf neta&h!e charity halls, if
not more SO. Her opinion was echoed
by observers who watched the stately
Header of society in her box and on the
ballroom floor. It was concurred in
even by the corpulent man from Lake
9 Forest whose vest fixings became un-
done behind and who had to be alar-
messed up by chaeitable friend in Mil
ward Adams private office just as
things were starting.
It was the generous attendance
which was responsible for the con-
spicuous financial success of the ball
The figures eon receipts are likely to be
increased by the exact count, which
will not be made up for several days.
For the last charity ball, that of
1905. the receipts were $4,000. The
net receipts for the charity ball Of 1905
were $28,000. 1t is Thought that when
Me final figures are made up that the
net receipts for this years ball will
Z be In the neighborhood of $26,ooO.
