Country Of Impending Danger

New York.--A warning of impend-
ing danger not only to manufacturing
interests but to the whole country, is
sounded by w. c. Brown, president OF
the New York Central railroad, who
believes that the high cost of living
foreshadows a national crisis. In a
statement made public Thursday, Mr.
Brown quotes statistics showing that
consumption is increasing at a much
greater rate than production, and lik-
ems the situation to two railroad
trains travelling on a single track, one
train representing production, moving
at thirty-six miles an hour, and the
other representing consumption, max
ng sixty miles an hour. 1T Is plain,
he points out, that the second train
must soon overtake the first-picture

AGAIN D|SCRED|TED
NO TRACE WHATEVER OF DR..
COOKS ALLEGED ASCENT OF
MOUNT MCKINLEY.
The Fairbanks Expedition Reaches
Highest Point on the continet With
Little Difficulty After Climb
of Month.

Fairbanks, Alaska.-The Fairbanks
expedition to Mount Mckinley, the
tallest peak in North America, reach
ed the summit April 8, after. a climb
of one month from the base. No traces
of DR.. Frederick A. Cooks alleged as
cent were found. '.
Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expedi-
ton, arrived here Tuesday night. His
companions were Daniel Patterson, w.
r. Taylor and Charles McGonnigle,
and all reached the top of the great
mountain.
The expedition, which left Fairbanks
December Is, while the. controversy
over DR.. Cooks disputed ascent was
still raging, was financed by Gus Pet.
erson and William McPhee of this
city. The plan was to go into camp
on the mountain as high al possible,
and, probably about the middle of
May, make a dash for the summit.
The obstacles encountered were not
so great as had been predicted. Four
camps were established during the as
cent and trail was blazed all the way
to the crest. Up to 10000 feet the
climbing did not present unusual diff.
culties. For the next 1000 feet the
way led over steep ice field, which
at first seemed to forbid further prog
ress, but through which, upon eXplor-
alton, it was found possible to locate
pain. The final dash to the top was
made from the 16,000-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 the
Fairbanks climbers placed an Ameri-
can flag in monument Of stones. The
expedition, which was provided with
DR.. Cooks maps and book, endeavored
to follow his alleged route, but utterly
failed to verify any part of his story
of an ascent

SUFFRAGlSTS HISS TAFT.
President Arouses indignation Of Equal
Rights Advocates.

Washington.-The president of the
United States, the first chief executive
of the nation ever to greet conven-
ton of woman suffragists, on Thurs
day night had the courage to confess
his opinion, and was Kissed. So great
was the throng that sought admission
to the hall that hundreds were turned
away. President Taft was welcoming
to Washington the delegates to the
convention of the National Woman
Suffrage association. He told them
frankly he was not altogether in SYM
pathy with the suffrage movement
and was explaining why he could not
subscribe fully to its principles. He
said he thought one Of the dangers of
granting suffrage to women was that
women, as whole, were not interest
ed in it, and the ballot, as far as wo.
men are concerned, would be con-
trolled by the less desirable class"
This utterance was met by perfect
storm of Kisses. President Taft stood
unmoved in the demonstration of hos
tility-for the kissing continued but
a moment--and then, smiling as he
spoke, he answered the unfavorable
greeting with this retort:
Now, my dear ladies', you must
show yourself capable of suffrage by
exercising that degree of restraint
which Is necessary In the conduct of
government affairs by not Kissing"
