BUCKLEY IS AGAIN
A RESIDENT OF
CANADA
Lobbyist Once More Absent
When Wanted
WAS A DEFIANT WITNESS
Should He Remain Cut of the Coun-
try Insurance investigation viii
Be Hampered.

Albany, April 16.-William II. Buck
ley, the lobbyist, who is believed TO
hold the key to the legislative insur-
ance corruption situation, has fled to
Canada. He also fled there in 1905,
at the time of the life insurance in
yestigation.
Buckley was badly wanted during
the life insurance inquiry because OF
his intimG.. relations with the late
John A. Mccall, president of the New
York Life Insurance company, and
with Judge Andy Hamilton, the
handler of the yellow Dog" fund of
that company.
The absence of Buckley, should he
continue to remain in Canada, will be
a serious loss TO the investigators of
legislative corruption. While on the
witness stand in New York. before
Supt William H. Hotchkiss in the re-
cent investigation, he fatty refused
to answer scores of the most impor-
tant questions and also declined to
have his bank account with the Com
mercial National bank of Albany ex-
ahmed
The legislative corruption commit
tee will have much broader powers
than those possessed by the Superin-
tendent Of Insurance, including the
power to punish recalcitrant wit
nesses. Buckley could not assume
the same defiant attitude before the
legislative committee that he did
when on the witness stand before the
Superintendent of Insurance without
running the risk OF being committed
to jail
Not only has Buckley gone away,
but also Mrs Buckley and their two
little children. In the fall of 1906.
when the subpoena servers of the
Armstrong committee chased him so
diligently he was finally located in
Montreal, Canada, but the subpoenas
were of no effect there.
Mrs. Buckley has relatives in
Montreal, and friends of Buckley in
sist that he planned to go away with
his family some time ago. before
there was any talk OF a legislative in
vestigation.
Buckleys home here, at 20. 100
State street, a fine substantial brown
stone residence, is directly across the
street from the capitol building, and
literally In its shadow. The house
has every appearance OF being oc
cupied, but men who have been
watching Buckley Tor the past week
reported today that he and all his
family had quietly gone away.

WILL CLIMB MT. MCKINLEY
Columbia Professor to Try New
Trail

Trail.
New York, April 16.-Prof Her
schel c.. Parker of Columbia univer.
sity, who will try to reach the top OF
Mt. Mckinley this summer, will not
alter his plans on account of the sue
cessful ascent of the Fairbanks ex-
petition. The four Alaskans went up
by the north route, whereas DR.. Par
ker hopes to blaze a new trail up the
south side. He believes that If he
succeeds Mt. Mckinley will attract
many Alpine climbers.
AT an informal dinner, he told
number of friends something about
his plans. His party at first thought
of using pack horses, he said, but
gave up the idea because it seemed
that the horses would only add to
their difficulties. He intends to take
careful barometric observations all
the exact altitude to within 100 feet.
He doubts whether 1t is 10000 feet
as stated by the Alaskan explorers
and would not be surprised TO find
that 1t was not more than $4,000 feet.
After reiterating his belief that
DIR. Cook never got to the top OF the
continent" DR.. Parker stated that he
believed the Fairbanks party had
been successful
From the present Indications" he
added. the reports seems to be &C
curate and authentic It is my strong
opinion that the Alaskans did reach
the top Of Mount Mckinley by the
northern route. hope that their to-
Biography is correct, so that we shall
not have to touch that side of the
mountain. We want to conflne our
selves to the southern route exclus-
| lively.
We are extremely DESTROYS OF get
ting the topography of the southern
side, the glaciers and the various
phenomena. II we fail from the
south, then we shall know that, &C.
cording to the Alaskans, the northern
with dogs and sledges is the only
way. II We are successful, Mount
Mckinley may become a Mecca for
Alpine climbers. whether they use
the winter route (northern) or APP
proach the summit from the south by
means of boats, as We are to do"

MR.. BowLEs' LECTURE
instructive and Interesting Talk at
Guideboard Schoohouse.

The lecture on What is Great
ness" by Hon. S. NJ. Bowles at the
Guideboard chapel Friday evening,
was one of the intellectual treats
this year. The speaker so blended
the traits and characteristics of not
ed persons of ancient and modern
times that a clear picture was made
of the great men of our own country
and how their every opportunity was
used.
The speaker also demonstrated the
cause of failure by so many OF us.
During the discourse women were
fervently extoled for their share of
ways. The lecture as a whole was
profound and interesting from start

At the close of the lecture an ex-
cellent musical program was given.
The violin and piano selections by
Eugene Shea and Miss Elizabeth
shea were pleasing as were the Sc
lections played by Master Oscar Ell
well and sister Belma, who are pupils
of Mr.. Shea.

eoMPERs CLAIMS THE CREDIT
Says Federation Fight Caused Steel
Corporations Wage Increase

Washington, April l6.-Samuel
Gompers thinks the American FEEDER
alton of Labor's fight. on the United
States Steel Corporation was one OF
the principal causes OF the per cent
increase which the Steel Corporation
has just announced for It's employees.
The organizations fight with the In
creases in wages recently allowed by
railroads and the strike at Bethlehem
in Charles NJ Schwabs plant. all
brought II about Mr. Gompers thinks.
In statement issued by him the
head OF the labor organization says.
Il suppose the United States Steel
Corporation would like to make II ap-
pear that the American Federation of
Labor has had no influence whatever
In having that corporation decide to
increase the wages OF its employees s
per cent. But when before did the
corporation voluntarily increase
wages?"
The statement reviews recent de-
velopments In the labor world, ad-
yances In wages and strikes and par
ticularly refers TO the federation's
charges against the Steel Trust. Thea
In conclusion Mr.. Gompers asks:
Il wonder whether all these factors
have had no influence upon the Steel
Corporation In granting this very In.
intestinal increase upon this lowest
wage Standard"
