PROF. SUMNER OF YALE
 DIES OF APOPLExY
Was Famous as Economist and
 Beloved by His Pupils.

Professor William Graham Sumner of Yale, famous as a political econo- mist and greatly beloved by his pupils at the university. died of apoplexy at the home of his son at Englewood. N. J., on Tuesday.
 The attack which resulted in Pro- lessor Summers death occurred at the Murray Hill hotel in New York on Dec. 27. Professor Sumner was to have presided at the meeting of the American z biological society, and in the evening he was to have dined with Andrew Carnegie at his house on Fifth avenue. The other guests were MT. Taft, Governor Hughes and Mayor Me Cellan.
 He was professor of political and so- cial science at Yale for thirty-seven years. He was born at Paterson, N. J., ill 1S40. After graduating at Yale in 1863 he studied at Gottingen and at Oxford. From 1863 to 1863 he was a tutor at Yale, and then, having taken orders in 1867 in the Protestant Epis- copal church, he was assistant in Cal vary church. New York. and rector of the Church of the Redeemer at Mor- ristQwn, N J., until 1872. when he went back to Yale.
 Especially prominent as free trad CT and an advocate of the gold stand ard, Professor Sumner was the author of many works dealing with financial and historical subjects. His last work of note was a History of Banking In the United States" which appeared in 1896.
 About ten years ago Professor Sum- ner in lecture to the senior class at Yale provoked a storm of criticism by declaring that in his belief fully 90 per cent of the marriages of the day turned out unhappily, that marriage had become not matter of love, but more a matter of course, and that many young men did not wait to find an ideal, but thought it the right thing to marry when they reached a certain age.

PULLMAN RATES TOO HIGH.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
 Orders a Reduction.

After an inquiry extending for more than a year the interstate commerce commission reached the conclusion on Saturday that Pullman car rates are too high and ordered the Pullman company and the Great Northern Rail- way company, which operates its own sleeping cars, to reduce the rates be- tween Chicago and other western points. On upper berths the commis- sion orders a reduction of approXi- mately 9 per cent.
 This is considered one of the most important decisions ever handed down by the commission. It means that the Pullman company must reduce it's rates throughout the United States.
 The Great Northern Railway com pany operates its own sleeping cars, and there is no doubt of its being sub ject to the jurisdiction of the com mission The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company also operates sleeping cars between New York and Boston, and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul owns it's own sleeping cars.

Governor Hughes Urges Thorough In-
 vestigaton of Graft Charges.
 Governor Hughes recommended to the New York legislature on Monday that a joint legislative committee be appointed to carry forward the fire in- surance investigation and to thorough ly investigate legislative corruption.
 In a message embracing a prelimi- nary report on his own investigation from State Superintendent of Insur- ance Hotchkiss Governor Hughes ask ed the legislature especially to look into the stock accounts of legislators with Wall street brokers. The gov ernor added:
 The revelations in the inquiry recently conducted by the senate and the facts brought to light by the superintendent of insurance make it imperative that there should be a thorough investigation with respect to legislative processes and as to the corrupt practices which have been effectual in advancing or blocking legisla- tion. These disclosures have caused every honest citizen to jingle with shame and indignation and have made irresistible the demand that every proper means should be employed to purge and to pu-

THOMAS r. WALSH,
 MINING KING, DEAD.
Partner of King Leopold Suc-
 cumbs In Washington.

Thomas F. Walsh, the multimillion- aire Colorado mine owner. who was King Leopold's partner in Kongo en- terprises, died at his home in Wash fngton on Friday of heart disease fol- lowing an attack of pneumonia at the age of fifty-nine.
 When it was found that MT. Walsh was not improving at Palm Beach he was carried in a special train to his beautiful home in Washington. He had had a large sunroom built on the roof of the house similar to the ''sola- rium'' which Edward H. Hartman had erected on his Fifth avenue resi- dence shortly before he died. Mir. Walsh occupied this sunroom cOntin- uaIly during his final illness.

DEFENDS TAFT'S FIRST YEAR.
Attorney General Wickersham Says Insurgents Should Have Party.

Attorney General Wickersham Says
 Insurgents Should Have Party.
 Attorney General George w. Wick ersham delivered defense of the first year of the Taft administration in a speech before the Hamilton club at Chicago on Saturday. His speech had been approved by the president.
 He made prediction that the tobac- co and Standard Oil suits will be de- cidtd by the supreme court in favor of the government and announced addi- tiOnal suits against corporations for violation of the Sherman act and fur ther announced ''the determined policy of the government to attack all spe- cial privileges and undue preferences, whether obtained by illegal cOmbina- tions. bJ bribing public officials. by re- bates or special advantages in trans portation or by any other method"
 MT. Wickersham reviewed in detail the accomplishments of the Taft ad- miniStratiOn. declaring in effect that no other administration could point to brighter record in the same period, The most interesting part of his speech, however, from a political standpoint was what he had to say of the insurgents who have combated President Taft's legislative program.
 Every one must choose" he said. whether or not he is for the presi- dent and the Republican party. He that hath no stomach to the fight let him depart. Treason has ever con- sisted in giving aid and comfort to the enemy. If any one wishes to join the Democratic party let him do so. But let him not claim to be a Repub- lican and in and out of season work to defeat Republican measures and to subvert the influence of the Republic an president"

T. F. WALSH AND BABY HEIR. the show places of the capital. Clonmel, his estate in Colorado, just outside of Denver, is one of the finest country places in America When President Taft was on his western trip MT. Walsh entertained him at his country place, and President Taft christened 1t Clonmel in honor of the birthplace of MT. Walsh ill Ireland.
 MT. Walsh's wealth has been va riously estimated at from $4O,O0O,OOO to $5O.OOO,0OO. His daughter married Edward Mclean, a son of John R. Mclean, the publisher.
 The heir to MT. Walsh's fortune is the infant son of Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean and is called "the $100,OOOOO0 baby in view of the fact that he will inherit the fortunes of Thomas F. Walsh and John R. Mclean, of whom he is also a grandson. The boys name is Vinson Walsh Mclean, and he is about five months old. His mother was formerly Miss Evelyn Walsh. She eloped in July, 1908, and married Ed ward B, Mclean. King Leopold sent the baby gold crib.

MT. M'KINLEY SCtLE7;
 NO COOK RECOR $
Fairbanks Expedition E(aa, $
 Summit of MOunta T.

E The Fairbanks expedition to Mount Mckinley. the highest peak in North America, reached the summit after a climb of one month from the base. No traces of Dr. Frederick A. Cooks all legged ascent were found.
 The expedition, which was provided deavored to follow his supposed route, but utterly failed to verify any part of his story of an ascent.
 Thomas Lloyd, leader of the eXpedi- tion, arrived at Fairbanks, Alaska, on Tuesday. His companions were Daniel Patterson, w. R. Taylor and Charles McGOnnigla. All reached the top of the mountain.
 MT. Lloyd said: we made a thor Ough search of every part of the sum- init where it was possible for any rec Ords to have been left, but failed to find any American flag or documents or any box such as were said to have been deposited there by pr. Cook.
 If they had been placed there they must have remained on the spot, and we should have found them. We dis covered absolutely no trace of any hu- man being having reached the summit before we got there"
 The expedition left Fairbanks Dec. 15 while the controversy over Dr. Cooks disputed ascent was still raging. The plan was to go into camp on the mountain as high as possible and prob ably about the middle of May make a dash for the summit.
 Four camps were established during the ascent, and q trail was blazed all the way to the crest. Up to 12,000 feet the climbing did not present unusual difficulties. For the next 4,000 feet the way led over a steep ice field, which at first seemed to forbid further progress, but through which upon exploration it was found impossible to locate a path.
 The final dash to the top was made from the 16,00O foot camp.
 Mount Mckinley terminates in twin peaks of equal height, one somewhat rounded and covered with snow, the other composed of bare and wind swept rocks. On the rock peak rhe Fairbanks climbers placed an Ameri- can flag in a monument of stones.
 The Fairbanks expedition has been the only one to venture upon the noun tain we'll equipped for the task. The four men who took part in this at tempt are all experienced mountain climbers and prospectors. They were thoroughly equipped so far as the physical details of the expedition were concerned. Their stories are straight forward and convincing. They have not dealt with the scientific aspect of the expedition as yet, but have con- tented themselves with declaring that they visited both peaks of Mckinley, the one a bare rock peak and the other covered with ice and snow. On neither did they discover any trace of a former visitor.
