The principal number played by the orchestra was an afr from enc of the most modern operas. It ma:ks the en' trance of the heroine of the pie who is coming on the scene to take part in wedding of complaisance with the hero, who is generally regard ed as one of the greatest blackguards the world of opera knows. Every character on the stage knows that the Buddhistic wedding ceremony that is to take place is sham and the mar riage turns out to be tragedy of the ehabbiest sort And yet that music was played in church that stands for intelligence if any one congrega' ton in this town does."

tinues to talk in his present vein he will

fellow Senator, yet he is saying Il want
you TO specify with as much emphasis
''as possible that Senator lothian L.

friendship of a man declared by him
to be corruptionist? Il am sorry lie
says, Il tell you l am sorry" And again:
1T never entered my head that the
words would find their way into the
newspapers" He made his charge
against Senator Aids with the full I'M
derstanding that it was in a secret con-
ference Moreover, the whole thing
doesn't amount TO a great deal, and,
further, it occurred eight or nine years
years ago when 'Jo' Aids and | were in

In word, bribery is nothing. It is
proper TO talk of the corruption of fell
low member among friends, but there is
no duty resting upon one who knows of
ii TO make it public. Conger is sorry,
and Aids, as his old friend, ought to
overlook his indiscretion because he did
not mean any harm.

MISS PECK AND MT. HUASCARAN
Mrs. Workman Submits Brief in the
Peak Scaling Controversy.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: After her ascent of the lower north
peak Of Mount Huascaran, in Peru. in 1908.
Miss \. Peck wrote in "Harper's Maga-
zine and in other periodicals and papers
the following: 1T may be regarded as GER
tain that Huascaran is above $4,000 feet,
hence higher than Aconcagua, 22,s00 feet,
and the loftiest mountain known on this
hemisphere II. as seems probable, the
height is 2i.00O feet, have the honor OF
breaking the worlds record for men as
well women
Knowing from her own statement that
Miss Peck made no instrumental observa-
tons above 1850 feet on Huascaran, and
believing. furthermore Aconcagua to be
the highest mountain of the Andes, ] de-
cided to test the truth of these assertions
by sending expert European engineers to
make detailed, up-to-date triangulation
of the two SUBMITS of Mount Huascaran.
The only previous known measurement OF
this mountain was made many years ago,
and is said to have given a height of 22,l
feet for the south, or higher, summit.
Professor FIR Schrader, who a few years
ago made the most authentic measure
ment yet made of Aconcagua, and NJ. Henri
Vallat both we'll known French scientists
and heads Of the Soci6te Generate d 'Etudes
ct dc Travaux TOpographique, of Paris.
undertook to assist me in getting up the
expedition. and gave the matter their close
personal attention NJ. de Larminat. expert
engineer. who has carried out successfully
important survey work for the above So
ciety, was selected as chief of the mission.
In July, 1909. accompanied by two other
competent French topographers, he started
for Peru.
hT- tons md
assisted as to transport by the Peruvian
government. they executed careful and
detailed survey from the sea TO Yungay,
and by actual measurement established the
heights of four stations in the Black Cor
dillera, from each of which they triangu-
lated the two peaks OF Huascaran. so that
Huascaran now stands as one of the most
accurately measured high Andean noun
tafns.
The results are: Height Of North peak
climbed by Miss Peck, 21.S12 feet; OF south
peak. still unclimbed, 22,lS7 feet. These
figures may vary by a few feet but not
many, when the calculations are finally
gone over by NJ. VaIlat for verihcation
Mount Aconcagua. nearly 22.900 feet, still
remains, as 1 predicted, and as Sir Martin
Conway and other Andean explorers have
always maintained, the highest peak of
South America

therefore. stands, north summit Huascaran

MR. aSH0NTS'S TROUBLES.

No doubt the rest of the Strap-hang-
ers will sympathize with Mr. Shonts i'll
his troubles incident to riding in his own
subway. To be driven by the crowd
from an express train into local. only
10 find the latter so jammed that it was
impossible to get out at his station. was
enough TO justify the strongest language
on the part of Mr.. Shonts. Still, we
think that sympathy will be tempered by
The thought that Mr.. Shonts himself was
largely 10 blame for the conditions which
caused his discomfort.
New subways were not needed for
certain measure of relief from the
present wellnigh intolerable overcrowd-
ing in the present one. An extension
of the station platforms, for example,
Will alone increase the Subway's capac-
ity p per cent. Mr.. Shonts promises
that relief a year from now-when the
traffic will have increased about % per
cent and the crowding under the new
conditions will be JUST about what ii IS
to-day. Those platforms ought to have
been heightened long ago. The idea was
certainly proposed to the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company as early as 1906,
when it was rejected as ''an operating
monstrosity." That was before Mr..
Shonts'S time, 10 be sure, but since he
became president there has been no haste
10 increase the subwayS capacity in this
very simple and obvious way. The sub
ject was repeatedly taken up with Mr..
Shonts by the Public Service Commits
sion. which has borne witness TO his I'M
willingness until recently to make such
an increase in facilities IF early in
President ShOnts's term he had moved
vigorously for an extension OF the sub
way platforms. he would have ridden
home the other night in comparative
comfort
The zeal of the InterbOrough for the
relief of its patrons is tempered by other
considerations. Not only was the eX-
tension Of the subway platforms SO long
postponed that an addition of % per
cent 10 the facilities will be already out.
grown when it is provided, but it will
be remembered that only a few months
ago Mr.. Shonts, who now talks Of un-
limited backing. was protesting that he
could raise money TO build only two

completed would be so far outgrown as
To be as badly crowded on the day it
was opened as the present subway is
now. If the public had allowed Mr..
Shonts 10 do that he might have the
same narrowing experience in an over
crowded subway in 1915 that he has just
had in 1910

which year ago, under the lead of the
United States, the powers of the world
devoted an international congress at
Shanghai. Reports are by no means
complete, and the lack of an efficient
general government causes much diver
slty of action and results in the differ
ent provinces of the empire, but it is
certain that marked progress is being
made in the suppression of the drug
habit and of the cultivation of poppies
for the manufacture of opium.
In Peking itself it is authoritatively
estimated that among the people three
tenths have given up opium smoking,
and among the officials eight-tenths have
done so. Unfortunately many persons
have taken to using ''anti-opium PILLS."

however, the gain has. been great. and it

The attitude of the government is re-
