Board of Experts to Seek
Countries Discriminating
Against America.

IMMEDIATELY,
TO Decide Which Countries

Which Maximum Rates

work OF investigating trade relations

eign governments to determine
whether or rot they are to enjoy
the minimum tariff as authorized In

partment lie will probably an
nounce within The next few days the
appointment of board OF three ex-
perts who viii have charge of the
preliminary details. An appropria-
ton of SIS 900 was made in the ur-
gent deficiency act with Congress
enacted several days ago to defray
the expenses Of these Investigations.
Mr.. Taft g anxious to have the
work started ns soon as possible be-
cause OF the fact that the maximum
tariff will 70 into effect on March
81 next. All these investigations
VIII have to De completed before that
date in order TO enable the President
to determine whether or not any
foreign government discrim.nates
against American products. Mr..
Taft desires these invest igatiols to
be as thoro ;.h and comprehensive
as possible, and mas instructed the
officials of thu Treasury Department
to lose no time in beginning the
wor6 in order that no foreign gov
ernmen. against VIII Oh the maximum
tariff is imposed might complain that
the investigation by the Treasury
exports was hasty or superficial.
The board expects to nave it's
headquarters at the Treasury Depart-
ment in this city, and will have gen

horse and rickety cart driven up
quickly in their rear, and ran away.
There were two six horse teams, tho
one in the lead being driven by A. NJ.
Anderson and the rear team by his
father. Both the drivers were walking
at the time. The rear team started
first, and Mr.. Anderson was unable to
get hold Of the lines, and the team
came in runaway dash down the lane,
past the first team, which also precipi-
tated the latter in flight. The young
er Anderson managed to mount his
wheel horse and thus stopped his team,
but tn eother team continued running.
The team came into town, passing the
corner at the jain harness shop, and
down Third street to the railroad track
and then down Railroad street to the
corrals below the Reno Brewing Co. s
plant.
Half way down Third street one of
the horses fell and was dragged under
the wagon, which ran over it, breaking
hind leg just below the hook. The
animal was killed.

MAY ExPEL COOK
Explorers Club, New York, Expected
to Take Action on Mckinley Story

New York, Dec. 23.-Everything is
going to tumble in a bunch on the
head of DIR. Cook. On Friday, so it
was learned on good authority, the
special committee of the Explorers
club of this city, in which associa-
ton DR. Cook holds membership,
which was appointed several weeks
ago to consider the evidence in sup
port of the Brooklyn physicians
claims to having assembled Mt. Nc
Kinley in 1906, will report to the
board of governors of the club in the
sense that there is nothing in the
published evidence of DR.. Cook to
prove that he reached the highest
point of the continent.
1t is believed by members of the
Explorers club that Or. Cooks expul-
sion from that body will follow as a
natural consequence of the committee
report, even if the findings of the Da-
nish scientists are not taken into con
siderAtion as just cause for such ac-
ton by the club
Marshall H. Savile a vice president
of the Explorers club and the chair
man of this special committee of in
vestigation which was formed in Oc-
tober said that on Monday night the
committees findings in the Mt Nc
Kinley matter were drawn up in re-
port form and signed unanimously by
all the members of the committee
Prof Saville said that the committee
had been forced to conclude its in
vestigations without the assistance of
| DR. Cook, who had promised to APP
pear before that body to elucidate
any matter which might demand his
personal explanation, but who had
disappeared after giving his promise
to appear when called.
1t was not the fault of the COM
mittee said Prof Saville that the
claimant to Mt Mckinley honors had
not received a hearing in his own de-
| fence.
Though no official statement rela'
tive to the tenor of the committee
report would be made by the chair
man It has been learned that the
affidavit made by Edward NJ Barrill
Cooks sole companion in the Mt Nc
Kinley episode, in which Barrlll
swore that Cook did not get within IA
miles of the mountain top and that
he faxed photographs purporting to
be that of the ultimate peak, played
an important part in the findings of
the committee.
