We could see two excellent routes
10 the summit and for the first time
1elt certain victory lay ahead. In
steep pitch OF ice-encrusted powder
snow we reached the lower end Of the
summit ridge and tackled the last 300
feet. At 4:l5 the last hump seemed

our dismay another peak rose to the
west OF us. But this time there was
no mistake and, climbing 100 PAGES
through frost feathers and loose snow,
at 4:3O We clambered out onto ths
final peak, beautiful little ridg. of
snoW-covered Ice, sharp as a knife
and only a dozen feet in length,
We fairly cheered with 10y.
View Surpasses Description. ,
The view from the summit OF LII.
cania is superb beyond description.
1t was late in the day and though
there was scarcely breath Of
wind the air was exceedingly cold.
We made a complete panorama Of
pictures to help fill in blank spots on
the map. and then descended hastily
toward our base camp 1000 feet be-
low, reaching 1t after another long
struggle in the bottomIess powder

Moving back to our pass camp, we
next packed two 40-pound loads Of
food, and gasoline for fuel, to the
15,000-foot altitude on Mount Steele.
The following morning, at 10 below,
We struggled slowly up the last slopes
OF Mount Steele. Below the summit
the cloudless weather held, an even
clearer day than on Mount Lucania.
At l:45 pm. We reached the summit
OF Steele, where to our amazament,

trict revenue measure in the Senate.
Representative Celler of New York
issued a statement yesterday sharply
criticizing the placing Of this meas
ure in the local bill He said, in part
"Tacking on the purely local Dis
trict of Columbia tax measure rider
of such national Importance as the
general price maintenance bill is leg
islation by subterfuge. 1t is not forth
right or fair. Only silly rules would
permit Of such a trick. The Miller
Tydings bill, which is the rider, has
evoked great controversy. 1t incurred
the Presidents condemnation. The
House refused to consider 1t. The
House now cannot even vote directly
upon 1t, either for general or amend
ment purposes. 1t can only vote upon
a conference report of the District OF
Columbia bill 1t is deprived of an
honest direct vote on the bill itself.
If wholesale price maintenance is
good, let us consider it in the open
unconnected with an income tax on
the residents OF the District OF Co.

Contention Of Tydings.
Senator Tydings contended in the
Senate Friday that recent amend
ment has overcome administration
objections TO the price maintenance
measure.
Money for additional jobs in the
tax assessors Office will be sought
Immediately after passage OF the tax
bill. it was announced meanwhile by
Commissioner Hazen.
HaZen said no matter what the
final bill provided it would be neces-
sary to put additional clerks on the
Job in the tax assessors Office in order
to prepare the tax levies.
The Commissioner said he would
ask that the law requiring that tax
returns be filed on September l be
set aside in view of the present emer-
gency. District Auditor Daniel Dono-
van pointed out that it would be i'm
possible for the present staff to pre-
pare tax bills by September l even

America

reached the summit of the lofty noun

reached Burwash Landing at the
northern end Of Kluane Lake, after

to Canada over the great northern
peaks of the ST. Elias Range.
After climbing Mount Lucania we
also assembled Mount Steel, which
rises to an altitude of $500 feet on
the eastern flank of the same pass Of

rampant. The climb up Steele marked
the second ascent of Canadas third

expedition was sponsored by the Har-
ward Institute of Geographical Ex-
ploration and the New England Mu-
scum Of Natural History.
Take-Off Difficult.
Our ascent began June l8. when
Pilot Robert Reeve few Bates and
myself to the Walsh Glacier from
Valdez. Our plane was equipped with
skis surfaced with stainless steel,
| which enabled us to take off from
| the mudflats OF Valdez and land on
the snow-covered glacier. The surface
| ice proved so broken up by unexpected
early thaws that Reeve was barely
able to get back to Valdez after three
! unsuccessful attempts to take off.
This made it impossible for Russell
Dow of Woodsville N. H, and Norman
Bright OF Sunnyvale, Calf, to join US
at the glacier. Bates and I, unable

taking off, were thus marooned on the
glacier. Our only practical way to
return to civilization was to go into
Canada over the peak on Mount
Steele.
We were certain that once on tor

Territory safely by using the same
route climbed by the Wood expedition
So after two days Of preparation. We
sledged 300-pound load OF supplies

altitude of 5000 feet, miles farther
up the valley. and miles from the
main mountain pass. 1t showed almost

OUT, SAYS HOOVER
Cummings Also Emphasizes
Restricted Field for Fed
eraI Officers.

There Is no room in this Coun-
try for a national police force or
so-called o. G.. P. u, according to J..
Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
He so told 36 graduates of the F.
b. l. National Police Academy at
commencement exercises yesterday in
the Department of Justice. The
graduates, representing police depart
ments all over the Nation. were hand
ed their diplomas by Attorney Cen
eral Cummings.
L. S. Ready to Cooperate.
Cummings and Hoover both stressed
that Federal investigators have their
own restricted field of activities un-
der the Constitution While they will
not encroach on police prerogatives of
the States, they said, the Govern
ment Is ready at all times to Coop
crate with State, county and munich
pal law enforcement agencies in
stamping out crime AS evidence of
this cooperation, it was pointed out,
the department is conducting the
free training courses for police officers
and offering aid of its identification
and laboratory experts.
Senator McCarran of Nevada and
Supt Edward j. Kelly of the Rhode
Island State Police also addressed the
graduates. Senator McCarran char
acterized police work as an honor
able career" and one that is vitally
important to the welfare of the coun-
try. Supt. Kelly warned the officers
OF pitfalls that lie in the path Of the
law enforcement officer, mentioning
especially political influence and
'corrupting temptations.
A!exandrian Graduates.
Policeman Russell A. HaWes of the
Alexandria, Va, Police Department,

dividual cases.
The House gross receipts tax has
been variously estimated to raise $4,-
100000 to S6OOO,OO0, while the Sen
ate's income tax which replaced 1t
would raise about s2,500,0O0 after al
lowing for deducvible Intangible tax
payments.
Senate Substitution.
On the other hand, however, the
Senate knocked out the increase from
$150 to s1,70 on real estate and tan
gible personal property, estimated to
raise $2,50O,0O0, and substituted the
high rate of $3.50 on land while re-
tanning the $3.50 rate on buildings.
This is estimated to produce $4,800,-
600.
There are other new tax sources in
the bill on which the two houses are
in complete or substantial agree
ment, however, and when all sources
are added up, the yield would be con-
siderably in excess of the 100000
deficit under either the House or
Senate program.
Excluding the $1,500,00O from the
motor vehicle weight tax, which goes
into the special highway fund, esti-
mates indicate the remainder OF the
bill would produce about $8,000,0 900
under the House program and more
than $4,000, 900 under the Senate pro-
visions.
1t would appear, therefore, that
there is ample leeway for the con-
ferees to compromise on less burden

The machine has already undergone

Despite the fact that the craft
weighs 3 per cent more than the de-
signs called for. it attained cruising
speed of more than 140 miles an hour
with the landing gear down. This has
convinced the designers that with the
landing gear retracted. the craft should
make even better speed.
Some experts, however. are dubious
concerning the ability Of such large

to get off the ground with a full load

Youth administration Pro-
gram Supported in Survey

Members OF the Association of

tional Youth Administration program
OF aid to needy students as of incal-
culable value to the students, colleges
and communities, in a survey made
public yesterday by DR.. H. c. Jaquith,
president of Illinois College, Jackson
vile, Ill.
Seventy-four per cent OF the more
than 300 college administrators reply
ing to a QUESTIONABLE, believe the
program should continue indefinitely.
and nearly all Of those favoring dis
continuance believe this should be
done gradually over a period OF years,
according to DR.. JaQuith's report,
which was released here by the N.
Y. A.
The Federal aid to individual stu
dents has enabled approximately II
per cent Of the enrolment OF each
college to continue their education
beyond high school, the report point
ed out.
Control of the program in the sep
arate colleges has been entirely in
the hands Of college administrators,
DR.. Jaquith added, free from direct
or implied interference with the edu-
catlonal purposes OF the college.
The colleges have provided the full
administrative costs without expenses
to the governmental appropriations
Unquestionably. no fund has ever
been appropriated by Congress where
SO large proportion has been ap-
piled TO the individuals for whom the
fund was created and so small a per-
centage to essential administrative
control.
No adequate summary or full ap-
pralsal can be made of the unrecord-
ed values Of this whole program to
the individual students, to the sew
eral communities or to the education

leRes."

Rudolph jain, representative OF Ger

the second series of eight survey
flights by his company across the
North Atlantic would be started from
Hamburg, Germany, August IA. The
corporation hopes to establish regu-
lar air mail service between the
United States and Europe by early in
1898.
Two Of the newest seaplanes devel-
oped by the Germans will be used In
the fights; ships weighing II tons
with a cruising speed of l55 miles
per hour and range of 3,l07 miles.
The Germans hope to make the

amendment authorizing an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for further study
of the entire District tax structure
during the recess they could agree
now on temporary tax program
and revise it when Congress returns
in January, on the basis Of the data
gathered in the survey.
In predicting yesterday that a tax
bill would be agreed upon in some
form, Senator King said the Senate
conferees will try to carry out the
views Of the Senate. When the con-
ferees begin discussion of the in
come tax amendment it is probable
they will confront the same difficulty
that has arisen in the past of trying
to determine how it would affect the
large number Of non-residents who
earn their salaries in the District,
including Government officials and
employees. AS now worded it applies
the tax to all income earned in the
District by non-residents, with certain
credits for similar taxes paid to q
State.
Examination OF the Senate income
tax plan also indicated yesterday that
1t would not begin to produce revenue
toward meeting the city's impending
deficit until near the end OF the pres
ent fiscal year. 1t provides that the
tax shall be first levied in 1888
on income for the calendar wear
1897. and returns would not have to
be filed until the last day Of April
1898.
Position Of McCarran.
Senator McCarran is understood to
be OF the opinion that the rate
schedules OF the income tax should
not start at level where they would
TAX the loWer-salaried Government
employees. He has contended through
out the present session of Congress
that Government workers in the
lower brackets are not receiving a
living wage now
without discussing what NAV be
done on the pending tax bill. Senator
McCarran declared emphatically YES
terday that the Federal Government
should bear larger part of the cost
OF maintaining the National Capital
than 1t does at present. He said he
takes the view that Washington is
essentially the Governments city and
that the Government should maintain
its own surroundings to a greater de-
gree. He indicated he regarded this
objective as more essential to the
people Of the District than gaining
suffrage
The question to be finally settled in
conference include the Senate's action
In knocking out the chain store tax
and the higher inheritance rates that
were put in the bill on the floor OF
the House after it had been reported
from committee. The conferees also
must pass on the Senate's elimina-
ton Of the increase in the tax on net
premiums of insurance companies.

ferees also must act on the national
