Mr.. TAFT IS KISSED
BY THE SUFFRAGISTS
Dares Speak His Mind Before
Convention of Women.
THE UpRoAR LASTED FOR A MINUTE.
Executive Had Declared He Could
Not Fully Subsribe To The Doc.
trines OF The Suffragists, When
A Chorus OF Hissee Like A Broken
Steam Valve OF An Engine Filled
The Hall-The President Asks
Women To Show The Restraint
Needed To Govern.

Washington, d. G. Especially -
The President of the United States,
the first chief executive of the ma
tion ever to greet a convention of
woman suffragists, braved the dang
err OF facing an army of women who
want the ballot, had the courage to
confess his opinion and was hissed.
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 con-
vention of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. He
had frankly told them that he was
not altogether in sympathy with the
suffrage movement and was explain
ing why he could not subscribe fully
to its principles. He said he thought
one of the dangers in granting suf-
frage to women was that the women
as a whole were not interested in
1t and that the power OF the ballot
SO far as woman is concerned would
be controlled by the "less desirable
class"
When these words fell from the
IIeSlueHJ lips IHe Walls Oh the con-
vention echoed a chorus of femi-
nine Kisses. 1t was no feeble dem
onstration of protest. The combined
Kisses sounded as If a valve on
steam engine had broken
President Taft stood unmoved on
the platform during the demonstra-
tion of hostility-for the kissing
continued but a moment-and then.
smiling as he spoke, answered the
unfavorable greeting with this re-
tort
Now, my dear ladies, you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage
by exercising that degree of restraint
which is necessary in the conduct of
government affairs by not hissing."
The women who had hissed were
rebuked. The Presidents reply ap-
parently had taken hold. There was
no more Kisses while the President
continued his address, which he char
acterized as my Confession On the
Woman"
At the conclusion of his talk the
President was enthusiastically ap-
plauded, and some of the leaders
of the convention expressed to him
the sincere regret over the unpleas-
ant incidents President Taft assur-
ed them that he had not had his
feelings injured in the least.

Nashville. Tenn. Especially While
the Supreme Court of Tennessee was
sonfrming the conviction of Col.
Duncan B. Cooper for the Staying. on
November o, 1908. in a Nashville
street, of former United States Sen
ator Z. w. Carmack, Governor Pat
terson wrote q full pardon for the
defendant. declaring that, in his be-
lief. Colonel Cooper was not guilty.
The Supreme Court remanded for re-
trial the case of Robin Cooper, oon-
Victed of the same crime as his
father.
The situation is tense, because of
allegations by friends of Carmack
that politics entered into the case.
1t Is probable that Robin Cooper will
never be retired. 1t is said. Both
Coopers had been sentenced TO 20
years Imprisonment.
The Court was divided, both In
confirming the sentence of Colonel
Cooper and in remanding the case
Of his son. 1t wac while Chief jus
tice Beard was reading a dissenting
opinion in the case of Colonel Cooper
that Gov. Malcolm s. Patterson par
doned the defendant, declaring in
the document
In my opinion. neither Of the
defendants is guilty, and they have
not had fair and impartial trial,
but were convicted contrary to the
law and evidence"
Governor Patterson's pardon of
Colonel Cooper has aroused Nashville
and Tennessee as nothing ever did
before.
Wild rumors of the Governor re-
signing. Of an attempted assassination
and of plot to lynch Colonel Cooper
have filled the air since the pardon
was Issued. The effect of the pardon
has been to draw even tighter than
before the partisan political lines in
the state. Apparently, from the dis
cussion on the streets, not a hundred
people in Nashville have changed
their views.
Friends of the Governor have a
new call to battle. In consequence,
they are more loyal and devoted than
before. Their admiration for what
they term his courage Is given un-
bounded expression. On the other
hand, his political opponents are
more bitter than ever in their de-
nunciation OF him and all of those
close to him. They are aroused to
a pitch that they have never reached
before. not even on the night of the
killing of Senator Carmack.
jeff McCarn, district attorney,
used strong language in referring to
the Governor. The Governors body
guard. a private detective, has been
with him constantly for week. and
1t is feared that some fanatic will
attempt to assassinate him.

Berlin Especially Private advices
have been received here to the ef-

Roosevelt and her daughter Ethel
will accompany the Colonel to Ber-

that Mrs. Roosevelt is not very

functions in which she has had to
participate in Egypt and Italy.
She is anxious, therefore, to avoid
the fatigue which would inevitably
be connected with her husbands roy

THE CONQUEST
OF MT. M'K|NLEY
How Americas Highest Peak
Was Reached.
Notes OF The Journey In The Hands
OF The Order OF Pioneers OF Alas
ka---The SUBMITS Utterly Unlike
Those Shown In DIR. Cooks Book
AN Unnamed Peak Discovered
Found The Cook Route To BE I'm
DassabIe

Fairbanks, Alaska Especially -
The Fairbanks Mount Mckinley ex-
pedition that reached the summit of
the peak, started to follow the route
DR.. Cook said he took, but was OBJ
liged to abandon II as it is impass-
able. Thomas Lloyd, the leader, de-
clared no traces of Cooks camps
were found.
Lloyd placed his crude notes of
the journey in the hands of a COM
mittee of the Order Of Pioneers of
Alaska, who will arrange for pub
lication. The party took photo
graphs of the summit and of points
along the trail. They also establish
ed the trail SO well that it can be
followed by other parties next sum-
mer.
Aneroid measurements taken by
the men place the height of the
mountain at 20,500.
Ten men were in the party that
left Fairbanks with dog teams in
December. 1t was the theory of the
leaders that the ascent would be less
dangerous in early spring than later
when the snow began to melt. This
theory was confirmed by the expert
ence of the expedition.
The expedition on reaching the
base of the mountain went into
camp, waited for better weather and
planned the ascent. All were familiar
with the great mountain. None
of the men has scientific education,
and they took no special apparatus
except cameras and a barometer.
They were equipped for prospect
ing, and travelled as light as possible
and with the food supply of an Alas
kan miner.
When the ascent was begun the
first camp was made at the line of
the willows, the second at 1900
feet, the third at 10000 feet and the
fourth at 10000 feet. From this
camp the dash to the top was made.
Four dogs went to the third camp
and one to the fourth. Snowshoes
were used most of the way and much
time was consumed in carrying sup
plies to the fourth camp, travel over
the steep ice compelling light loads
and several trips. In several places
crevasses were crossed on bridges
OF poles brought from the timbered
olOpeS D0iOW.
The party did not set out to dis
prove DR.. Cooks story, but to climb
the mountain. 1t found the submits
utterly unlike those pictured in
Cooks book. On the rock peak it
left an American flag by ~ feet
attached to the 14-foot staff. but
tressed in rock. The flag was visible
for long distance on the north side
of the mountain. The view from the
summit was obscured by clouds at
lower levels. The building of the
monument about the flag staff was
difficult because Of the rarlfied at
mosphere.
The snow was generally firm and
the crevasses that were filled with
snow were easy to cross, except in
few instances. Later in the sea-
son avalanches and treacherous
crevasses would have impeded prog
ress.
The explorers discovered mag
nificent unnamed peak, 10000 feet
high, and a new pass through the
mountain range which shortens the
distance to the coast rs miles. The
pass is flanked by majestic perpen-
dicular walls.
