men to secure the twelve men. Out Of the
army of veniremen, 115 were dismissed by
the court when they admitted that investl-
gators had talked about the case TO mem

ton Take Pictures of Smaller
Peaks Called Mt. Mckinley.

SEWARD, Alaska, Aug. 2O.-The Parker
Browne Mount Mckinley expedition passed
through Seward today, sailing on the steam
ship, Portland, for Seattle. The party was
unsuccessful in its efforts to scale the peak.
Members Of the expedition assert that they
have. conclusive evidence that DR.. Cook
did not reach the summit.
The members OF the Parker Browne party
corrobrate the statements made by C. e.
Rusk, who recently led an unsuccessful
Mount Mckinley expedition. that the peak
climbed by Dr. Cook and used IN his photo
graphs as Mount Mckinley, is a smaller
peak, easy Of access and ten miles away
from the real summit. Prof. Herschel Par
ker, who is at the head of the expedition
just returned, took photographs of lower
peaks which he says will prove that DR..
Cooks claim that he climbed Mount Nc
Kinley is not true.
Prof. Parker places no credence in the
claims made by Tom Lloyd of Fairbanks,
and his associates, that they climbed the
mountain from the Fairbanks side.
Those in the party which returned today
are Prof. Herschel Parker Of Columbia uni
versity. Belmore Browne of Tacoma, Prof
O. G. Cuntz OF Stevens institute, Boboken

TAFT At ANCESTORS HOME
President Forgets Politics and Visits
Mendon and Uxbridge.
DISTANT RELATIVE OF AIDR1CH


BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 2O-Forgetting
for the moment the troubles and worries OF
politics and politicians President Taft spent
the greater part OF yesterday in the homes
and haunts Of his ancestors.
The Tafts settled in 1880 at Mendon and
Uxbridge. Robert Taft, a house wright,
was the first of the Taft's to come over
from England. Then in a direct line OF
descent the generations lead down to the
president as follows: Joseph Taft, Peter
Taft. Aaron Taft, Peter Rawson Taft
Aphonso Taft and william Howard Taft
1t was discovered that through an ancient
strain the president IL related to Senator
Aldrich OF Rhode Island that Secretary
Norton is also related TO the senator from
Rhode Island and that the president Is
related TO Governor Draper Of Massa-
chusetts.
1t was as the guest OF Governor Draper
that the president made his pilgrimage to-
day. Though no one in Mendon seemed
to know Mr.. Taft was coming his presence
soon was known about and Taft
came from all directions. Mrs. Clarence
Taft, one of the first to arrive told the
president proudly that she was the mother
Of the youngest Taft In the vicinity, son
weeks old. She suggested that the presl-
dent should select name.
President Names Baby.
81 name him Robert said the president,
and / hope he grows up to be a great
comfort to his mother and father"
The baby is fifth cousin Of the presi-
dent.
The name Of the original Robert Taft Is
engraved on the monument as one of the
founders OF that place, commonly known as
the "Old mother town." Robert brought
his stalwaEt son with him from England.
A spot of interest was the little home of
Miss Sarah Taft. delightful, white haired
lady, who was completely taken by sur
prise when the presidents big automobile
stopped in front OF her door and he and
the governor alighted. Miss Taft was not
expecting visitors and, living quite alone
she kept her distinguished guests waiting
with many apologies until she could
change her frock. Then she extended q
most hospitable, welcome Miss Tafts home
is directly on the old Boston-New York
highway and in 1888 George Washington
spent the night in the house. The room,
with a fine old four poster bed and
wonderful old mahogany furniture was
shown to the president.

Plan to Force
HilIman Off the
Cudahy Lot
Claim is Made He is in the Way Of
Ak-sar-Ben and Cudahy's New
Building.

The Hiilman Airdome theater at Eight
zenith and Douglas streets is being threat
ened with destruction to make way for the
Ak-Sar-Ben festivities this fall and for the
Cudahy building which Is planned for that
corner.
f. p. Hillman, manager of the theater.
who holds the ground under a lease from
the Hanscom estate, from whom the prop
erty was bought by the Cudahy interests,
Is advising his audiences every night that
the larger theatrical interests are forcing
him TO get out. His lease on the ground,
which he asserts is embodied in the deed
that cudahy holds is paid UP to April. but
his hold on the land is OF no value unless
his theater is allowed to stand and the
council is discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of
having It torn down.
The building Is constructed Of sheet iron
on a wooden frame and comes within the
building ordinances, but the open air audi
torium has a canvas top This was per-
mitted by a special ordinance OF the coun-
Gil, but the present sentiment on the part
OF several council members is TO revoke
that ordinance and have the auditorium
condemned as inflammabie and unsafe.
1t is the contention Of Hillman that he
reaps his best profits during the late fall
season and that, as he has willingly rented
his theater to the Ak-sar-Ben managers
before. he should be allowed to hold his
place
The movement against the institution
originates IN the facts that It is In the way
OF the Cudahy building which is planned
to take the corner, in the way Of the Ak
sar-Ben people for this year and that the
manager Is accused OF abusing his theatre
cal rivals from his stage during per-
formances. Hillman claims an investment
of $1,000 which would be practically
destroyed II he 10 forced out without being
allowed to set compensation for giving up
his lease.

Commission is Ready.

ST. PAUL. Aug. 2o,-The final report Of
Fred N. Dickson of this city as master in
chancery in the lumber rate suits brought
by the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railroads against the Inter-
state Commerce commission will probably
not be filed before August 81. Arguments
to exceptions to his findings were made to-
day by Attorney Luther NJ. Walter of Chi
cago and other attorneys and will be con-
tinued tomorrow.
The finding OF the master was to the ef-
feet that the rate of As cents hundred
weight on lumber between st. Paul and the
coast, as fixed by the Interstate Commerce
commission. was unreasonably low and
that an advance to so cents a hundred
would be reasonable. The case will be
argued before the United States circuit
judges on September 10.

An address by State President John
Biggans, of the Patrolmen's Benevolent
Protective Association, was a feature

out of those already in the service. One
OF the aims of III association is to
weed out the bad men in the service.
"Our association did not institute a
branch in Harrison with the intention
of caring only for the police. We want
to care for the citizens Of the town.
In the thirty-two cities and towns In
this State where we have branches the
police chiefs tell us that our associa-
ton has purified the department. We
intend to live up to u reputation ano
clean out all of the deadwood."
A solid gold watch chain. the gift Of
a number of the State members, was
then presented to Police Chief Michae
Rodgers by President Biggans. The
Harrison chief thanked the State of
