The most distinguished and versatile
mountain climber in the world-so has
Prince Luigi Amadeo Of SavoyAosta,
Duke of the Abruzzi. the conqueror of
Mount ST. Elias in Alaska, very properly
been called. Europe. Alaska, Africa, Asia
each of these place has been at one time
or another the scene of his adventures
among the snow-capped peaks. And not
satisfied with winning such fame as a
mountain climber. the duke at one time
led an expedition that created a new far

For one Of gentle birth, Prince Luigi has
had an adventurous life He is a son of
Amadeus. the ex-King of Spain. and is
also a first cousin of the King of Italy.
He was born in Madrid on January g,
1873. He entered the Italian navy after
leaving the naval college at Leghorn.
The duke began his mountain climbing
in 1892, when he was only nineteen years
old. He first attacked the Alps, soon be-
coming well known as a daring yet care
full climber. He made several difficult as
cents, and then. in 1897, sailed over to
Alaska and thrilled the world by his con-
quest Of Mount st. Elias. near the boun-
dairy line between Canada and Alaska.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
GIVES LAST CONCERT
Mrs. Christian Hemmick's Opera

the First Time.

The last of the Washington Symphony
Orchestra concerts for this season was
given yesterday afternoon at the Column
bia Theater- The series has been OF
great interest as exhibiting a marked i'm
| provement in the work of the orchestra
and by reason of the opportunity Mr..
Hammer has afforded his audiences of
hearing recent works. His choice has
been about evenly divided between the
old classic and the modern romantic or
programme music, with a possible bal
ance in favor Of the new and novel. One
must confess that after a programme of
much of the modern music, with it's I'M

its straining after the unusual. the tenn
peramental effects, that a relurn to the
repose. the clear abstract beauty of

of the old classic masters is a distinct
relief.
Yesterday Washington was given the
opportunity of hearing the music of the
first act of Mrs. Christian Hemmick' S
tAlice Barney Atlantis three-act

Won Goertner. The music is distinctly
programmatic; the themes following the
psychological moods of the story. There

than compensated for by the atmosphere

Won Goertner conducted with admirable
skill the reading of his composition.
Mr.. Charles Anthony played Greig' s
piano concerto in A minor. This beau
tiful concerto is we'll known to Wash
ington concertgoers. 1t is work of
great breadth and nobility, and Mr.. An
thony rendered the piano part with great
fidelity. and the merging of orchestra
and piano in the concerted work was
admirable. Together the orchestra and
soloist worked up the climaxes in which
the work abounds with glorious effect.
Mr.. Anthony makes no display of su-
perficial dexterity. What facility he has,
and he is an artist, is directed to faith

applause, which he responded to with an

HOLD LEGISLATIVE
HEARING Of STOCK
EXCHANGE REFORMS
Tales of Wall Street From
Spectators Viewpoint Is
Expected to Be Soon
UnfOlded

Albany. \. Y February 23.-Tales
of Wall street from the point of view
of the speculator investor and broker
are expected TO be unfolded Wednes-
day when the various bills recommend
ed by Governor Sulzer to reform
stock exchange methods will be dis
cussed at a legislative hearing.
The governors proposal that all ex-
changes be compelled to incorporate
after September l and that the max
imum rate of interest on call loans be
fixed at 15 per cent are declared by
the governors of the New York stock
exchange TO be particularly unwise
Eleven measures all told are scheduled
for consideration. These do not include
the bill proposing to double the tax on
transfers of stock which promises TO
be vigorously opposed. This measure
was suggested to the governor by his
committee of inquiry as revenue
raiser'' but its opponents declare II
would lessen transactions in securities
TO such an extent that the expected
additional revenue may not be pro-
duced

Exchange No Bank

New York, February 23.-The New
York stock exchange is not bank and
does not pretend to exercise the priv
ileges of financial institution, powers
which the bill pending in the legisla-
ture to incorporate it would extend
and powers which James B. Mabon, its
president considers dangerous, accord
ing to a statement which he issued to-
night
Mr.. Mabon outlines the objections of
the exchange to the proposed law which
would make it a nisdemeanor for any
/ Incorporated institution to provide an
exchange room for the use of its mem
bers.
The purchase and sale of securities is
a perfectly lawful business, the state
n.ent says.
This bill recognizes it to be lawful and
necessary and does not attempt in any
way to regulate it or to restrict the right
To engage in ii. Men may buy and sell
in offices or on street corners. or any
where they happen to meet without re-
striction or supervision, but if any num-
Der of them fo-m an association and hire
a common room ia which to meet, this
bill makes them guilty of crime"
Mr.. AIabon also objects to the pro-
visions limiting the exchanges powers Of
discipline by making its rules and bylaws
subject to the ratification of the state
, slileriEtendent of banks and making II
obligatory upon the exchange to sell
memberships at public auction. thereby,
he says, taking from the exchange its
power of determining the personnel OF
its own body. He concludes with the
sta tement:
1T may not be many years before the
right of association for which men have
strIven for generations will no longer ex-
isf in this country

WORKING OF CITY
CONV|CTS ON ROADS
Admission Mayor Talks of the
Convict Labor System.
Believes Such Methods
Profitable

Admission, February 2s.-(SpecaL)--
Mayor ]. l.. Wikle of Admission says that
his experience in the working of city con-
victs on the public thoroughfares of An
niston during the two terms he has served
as mayor, during his experience as a
member of the city council and from long
observation during other administrations
teaches him that the state conviets could
be profitably worked on the highways by
the larger counties of Alabama, for he
says. what is good for Peter will be
equally good for Paul"
Mayor Wikle does not make this declara-
ton, however, without reservation. He
appreciates the cost of purchasing and
maintaining tents, cooking utensils, food
and other essentials incidental to a con-
Wet camp, and he says that he does not
believe that it would be practically profit
able for any county to work less than 70
convicts on the roads. Counties having
less than this number, he says could hire
its convicts out to other counties, where
they are worked ON the public highways.
In Admission recently several miles OF
excellent highway have been built by the
city's convicts, and Mayor Wikle believes
that it would have paid the county 10
