(By Associated Press. J

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 13.-P. J..
Byrne, a saloon keeper, borrowed
$4,000 from the Third United Pres
byterian church here. The fact that
the money was wanted to build a new
liquor emporium was not known
when the trustees voted to accept a
mortgage on the property. Now, the
facts have leaked out, there is general
skirmishing among the trustees to
cancel the loan.

MEETING Of
NEW DIRECTORS
THE MATTER OF MAKING A GOOD
EXHIBIT AT SEATTLE FAIR
DISCUSSED BY MANAGEMENT
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB.

A meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Wenatchee Commercial
club was held last night, with all of
the new directors and President King
present.
Four new members were elected to
membership, as follows: H. NJ.
Swartwood, ]. R. Taylor, g. NJ Boyd
and o. E. Loving.
The matter of assisting in the
making of a Chelan county exhibit
at the A.Y.-P. fair was discussed and
several committees were appointed
along this line. 1t was suggested
that the Great Northern should as
sist in a liberal donation towards
this end, and Messrs. Bousquet,
Blake and Weber were appointed to
take the matter up with President
Hill.
Messrs. Farwell, Koran and Taylor
were appointed to investigate the
matter of space and location at the
Seattle fair. The space that has been
allotted to Chelan county is not very
satisfactory and Mr. Farwell goes to
Seattle next week to see what can be
done towards getting a larger loca-
ton for the county.
Messrs. Sumner, Weber and Bous-
quet were appointed to devise ways
and means for raising more money
to put into the exhibit. 1t has been
thought that the county should erect
it's own building at the fair, and as
it is likely that the present legisla-
ture will give the county commits
sioners authority to make an allow
ance for erecting buildings at the fair
it is thought that an appropriation
for this purpose can be secured from
the Chelan county commissioners.
The newly appointed committee will
have this matter in charge.
The new board elected d. N. Gel
Iatly as secretary for the coming
year. The vote on this was unani-

presented petition to the club ask

The Empire Land company, doing
a land business in Douglas and Lin
coin counties, asked the permission
of the club to use some of the We
natchee statistics that were used in
the Wenatchee booklet in some of the
printed matter that this company de-
sires to put out. The club voted not
to sanction this, inasmuch as it might
be misleading and could not possibly
do this club any good.

ASTRONOMER ATTACKS
CLAIMS OF PEARY

ROME, September 19.-According to
the wellknOwn astronomer, Signor
Francesca Faccia da Schio Of Bergamo,
the moon absolutely disproves Com
mander Peary's claim to having discov-
cred the Pole.
In his dispatch to the New York
Times the explorer states that April
6, having accomplished six stages he
had planned, he was favored with an
opening in the clouds, which permitted
him to take astronomical observations
From these he established his posi-
tion as latitude so degrees 81 minutes
Signor da Scio points out, however,
that unquestionably accurate astronOm'
zeal calculations show that with the
latitude at 50 degrees 81 minutes the
moon could not be seen at the time
indicated by Commander Peary because
from midday, April 8, Paris time, or G
clock Central Standard time, the dec.
lination of the moon became negative,
that is to say, the moon was below
the equator, which is the natural hOri'
zon of the Pole.

FLORAL PARADE
IN THE MAKING

Floral parade preparations are now
well under way. At yesterday after.
Moons meeting of the Hawaiian Pro.
motion Committee the outlook for the
coming fete was discussed at length
and tentative plans were talked over.
The new floral parade poster, ad.
vance proofs of which have been on
display in the windows of the Promo.
ton committee rooms in the Alexander
Young building, were received by the
Asia and were displayed for the first
time at the meeting. The posters re-
ceived are in two sizes, one suitable
for a window card and the other post.
card, size.
As soon as a supply of the postcards
is received, the cards will be distribut.
ed with the request that they be used
for correspondence. AS the cards are
very attractive, it is not anticipated
that there will be any great difficulty
in inducing people to mail them.
Small stickers suitable for sealing
letters, are expected shortly. These
will be distributed among the mer.
chants of the city and mn effort will
be made to have every piece of bust
ness correspondence sent to the Orient
or the mainland for a period of sew.
eral weeks sealed with the stickers.
Several unique plans are being con.
sidered in connection with the floral
parade, the most ambitious being some
form of entertainment for the after
noon. Just what form this entertain.
ment will take has not been decided,
but several suggestions have been
made. Admission may be charged to
the grounds where the afternoon en-.
tertanment is given, and in this way
it is believed that the funds available
for the parade can be materially aug.
mented.
Even at this enrly date there are
indications that the automobile feature
will be even more impressive than it
was last year. Particular attention
will be given to the schools, and an
effort will be made to provide machines
for all of the educational institutions
unable to secure cars for themselves
Who the director of the parade will
be is as yet unknown, but an effort
will probably be made to induce II.
II. Petrie to serve again. Petrie was
very successful last year, and to ais
untiring efforts and diplomatic hand,
ling of people was due in no small part
the success of the parade
The hints concerning European car
nivals, which Lester Petrie was able
to secure while abroad, have been of
incstmable value to the Promotion
committee, and many of the ideas will
doubtless be incorporated into the
coming fiesta

taken in hand at once by Miss McAbee,
the matron of the home, and the first
thing to be considered was the choice
of name. Finally it was decided that
the name of the man who located the

, cutting the tax per hole in two, making
it but 80 cents. But that did not seem
to satisfy the representatives of the
telephone company.
Then business men Of the city, pan
icky lest the telephone company should
conclude to change its mind and not re.
build the system, began to cast dubious
glances in the direction of the Super.
visors. The thought of doing with the
old telephone system did not look at
all promising.
1t is rumored that at the next meet.
ing of the Merchants Association an
effort will be made to get through n
resolution urging the Supervisors to re-
, scind the action so far taken, and Mt
least leave out the fee part in provid.
ing for the issuance of permits and in
spection of the excavations. There
seems to be some doubt on the part of
various members as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of the association taking any stand in
the matter, however, and what DISPOSE
ton will be made of the resolution
should it be introduced is a question.
The slowness of the old company in
.renovating the telephone system has
prejudiced a good many people against
telephone companies in general, and the
new corporation is evidently being
blamed for some of the alleged short.
comings of its predecessor.
But whether or not the Merchants
Association goes on record as opposed
to the new ordinance, there seems to be
every likelihood that a squabble will
result. The Supervisors are determin-
ed to ascertain whether they have con-
troll over the streets which they grade
and pave, or whether a Territorial Off
cial can legally step in and undo part
of the work. The post-hole ordinance,
introduced originally as a mere police
measure, seems destined to prove the
direct casus belli which must ultimate
ly decide just where the authority of
the Territory ceases and where that of
the County commences.

and now there is every indication that
there will be petitions and counter

When the ordinance, requiring per-
mits and permit fees for every hole dug
in the city streets, was first introduced,
there were threats of lawsuits and so
froth from opposing corporations. There
were those who said that the County

Supervisors claim that the County is
forced to pay for grading and paving
the streets, and that the County should
have some say.so about the tearing up
of those streets which have been graded
and paved.
This was the situation when the Mu-
