NO TRACE FOUND
OF cooks ASCENT
Fairbanks Expedition Reaches
Summit of Americas Highest
Observation-Disclosures Refuted.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, April 12.-The
Fairbanks expedition to Mount Nc
Kinley, the highest peak in North
America, reached the summit on April
8, after a climb of one month from the
base, it was announced today. No
traces of DIR. Frederick A. Cooks al
legged ascent were found.
Thomas Lloyd, leader of the eXpedi-
ton, arrived here last night. His COM
panions were: Daniel Patterson, w. r.
Taylor and Charles McGonnigle. All
reached the top of the mountain.
The expedition, which left Fairbanks
December 10, while the controversy V er
DR.. Cooks disputed ascent was still
raging, was financed by August Peter
soH and William McPhee, of his city.
The plan was to go into camp IN the
mountain as high as possible, and prob
ably 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 ascent, and a trail was blazed all
the way to the crest. Up to 10000 feet
the climbing did not present unusual
difHculties.@ For the next 1000 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 possible to locate a path.
The final dash to the top was made
from the IS, G00-foot camp.
Mount Mckinley terminates in twin
peaks of equal height, n somewhat
rounded and covered with snow, the
other composed OF bare and wind-swept
rocks. On the rock peak the Fairbanks
climbers placed an American flag in a
of stones. The expedition,
which was provided with DR.. Cooks
maps and data. endeavored to follow
his supposed route, but utterly failed to
verify any part of his story of an
ascent.

THEY WANT THE BEST.
Mexican Purchasers of Imported
Goods Are Particular,

washington, Dec. 21-Nothing but
the best will do for Mexicans. This is
the gist of report from Consul Sam
uel E. Magill at Guadalajara. Though
only about four million of the total
fourteen million inhabitants of Mexico
buy imported merchandise they paw
little attention to the price as long as
1t is of the highest quality. Many for
elgn competitors have initiated and
imported goods of a poorer quality
only soon to lose their patronage in
Mexico owing to the inferiority of
their merchandise
American shoes are now the STAN
dard in Mexico. Though more than
fifty per cent of the inhabitants of
Mexico wear sandals, many are turn
ing to shoes. There are many shoe
factories in Mexico but these turn, out
shoes for those who are not particular
Owing to the protective duty on i'm
portations it is impossible to import
cheap shoes into Mexico to compete
with those of native manufacture
Sporting goods is another line that the
Mexican purchaser examines carefully
before buying. He will not trade ar
an establishment where he can not get
first class tennis racquet or ball
A good article pays no more duty
than an inferior one of the same class.

ARGUE FOR new TRIAL
Attorneys Urge Morse-Waters Incident
as Ground in Green Case.

Attorneys in the Dalrymple- Green
breach of promise suit. will argue the
motion for Il new trial when Judge Dana
considers the motion docket next Sat
urday. The motion for rehearing of
the case sets forth seven reasons why
the court should not deny the writ
The defense alleges first an abuse of
the discretion of the court, misconduct
of the jury, misconduct of the plaintiff
and accident and surprise which ordl-
nary prudence could not guard against.
This last claim, it is believed, will be
built around the tilt between Mrs.
cago woman was under oss-examina-
ton. In this wrangle between witness
and attorney, Mrs. Morse charged Wa
tiers with unfairness and unprofession-
alism in the conduct of the case. Her
statements were made in the presence
of the jury and this, it is claimed, pro-
badly had a tendency to prejudice the
jury against the cause Of the defend
ant.
AS a second reason for a new trial
the defendant sets forth the allegation
of erroneous rulings of the court. He
claims erroneous instructions and
states that the court refused to give the
jury certain instructions asked by the
defendant He claims that the verdict
was given under the influence of pas
is contrary to the evidence. The de-
tense further claims the discovery of
new evidence, which it is claimed, could
not be produced in time for the recent
trial.
In case Judge Dana oVerruleS the mo-
ton for a new trial, an appeal to the
supreme court is probable.

TAFT PRODS CONGRESS.
President Continues to Urge Action on
Administration Measures.

Washington, Dec. 21.-There is much
discussion both at the White House
and the capitol over the outlook for the
administrative legislative program The
president, in conferences with senators
and representatives, has indicated his
strong desire that as many as possible
of the measures that he recommended
in his annual message be pressed
through congress without delay in view
of the coming change of political COM
plexion of the house. 1t is in accord
ance with this policy which the presi-
dent is still urging on congress through
frequent conferences with leaders that
the appropriation bills have been rush
ed unprecedentedly- No conclusions
have been reached as to the program in
congress but the regular Republicans
have warned the insurgent members of
their party that they must accept the
onus if they put any distractions in
the way of the proposed Republican
legislation.
The mail subsidy, the tariff commits
sion plan for collating and assimilating
tariff data, Panama canal Notifications
and tolls, and a bill to regulate the is
suing of injunctions in equity without
notice in accordance with the best
practice in vogue in the United States
courts are all matters upon which the
president especially wants action.

APPEALS CHURCH CASE.
Graham Not Satisfied With Compro-
mise Attempted.

Olathe. Kan, Dec. PA compromise
has been reached in the Reformed Pres
byterian church here that will prevent
the dissolution of the congregation as
a result of the trial of T. c. Graham,
who was charged with SANDER, setting
a bad example and in attempting TO
undermine the influence of the pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Mcknight.
The presbytery reconsidered the
charges against Mr.. Graham and the
recommendation of the committee that
he be exonerated and that the Rev. Mr..
Mcknight be asked to resign. and de-
cided to find Mr.. Graham guilty on the
last two counts.
No request was made to the Rev. Mr.
Mcknight to resign, but nevertheless
he rendered his resignation and made
d lengthy statement of his position in
The matter Following this the Rev
Mr.. Elliott of Denison. Kan, was ap-
pointed provisional pastor and the Rev.
Mr.. Mcknight was sent to Denison. The
resignation of all of the elders was call
ed for and new elders were appointed.
However satisfactory this compromise
may be to the others concerned, it isn't
satisfactory to Mr.. Graham and he has
appealed to the synod which will meet
in Syracuse, N. Y, next June.
