Maatka,
Geoire Jones and John Zahner, the Mis
souri Valley saloon men whom the dry
element of that city eon flit to put out of
business won out Friday In tha hearing
before Judge Wheeler In the d.suict court.
Judge Wheeler denied the 'njunction asked
fot and diamiaaed the case.
The sufficiency or insufficiency of a
revocation of consent to lhe operation of
saloons In Missouri Valley was the question
involved In the case. On November 12, what
purported, to be a revocation of consent
was filed with tha county auditor of Har-
1 rlsnn rnuntv. A netltion of this Character
of the city. The defense Claimed that there
aie ",m voters In Missouri Valley, but that
the petition was not signed fcy more than
3to jualilied electdrs. It was alleged by
the defense that there were on the petition
the names of forty-six persons who were
not qualified voters at the time of the
filing of the paper, six who were dead and
buried at the time of filing ana fourteen
w ho f ere not at any time voters in Mis
souri Valley.
lhe state was represented at the bear
ing by Thomas Smith, county attorney of
Harrison county, while the defendant
saloon men were represented by J. 8.
I'ewrli. Burke and Tamis.ea of Missouri
Valley and Emmet Tinley of this city.
At the conclusion of the hearing Judge
Wheeler adjourned dlstrict'court until Jan
uary X at which time any matters demand
ing attention at this term of court will be
taken up. The new term will open Jan
uary 4, with Judge Thornell presiding.
Kew Docket Is Heavy.
The docket for the new term, while not
unusually heavy, it of sufficient sie to
keep the court busy for the two months It
will last. Yesterday was the last day for
filing cases for the January term, and the
docket shows IK old law cases, 41 new law
cases, 170 old equity cases, 41 new equity
cases, 86 old criminal cases and 18 new
criminal cases. The latter will be Increased
by the time the grand Jury gets through
with its del 'be rations. L'p to last evening
111! trial notices had been filed. Tais num
ber is somewhat above the average.
The petitions in the suits in which Pot
tawattamie county Is made defendant as a
result of the automoblre accident on the
night of August 21 last near McClelland,
when Miss Inez Isabella Purdy of Oakland
received injuries from whica the died a
few days later, and otiier members of the
party were more or less severely Injured,
were filed yesterday. Mrs. Laura Belle
Purdy, as administratrix of the estate of
her daughter, asks (2.000 damages; Mil too
Purdy, brother of the young woman killed,
asks flO.frttt) for his mjurtea while Ray
Piles, the owner and driver of the machine,
asks 110,000 for his Injuries and 11,000 ror
the damage to the auto.
Children Get
Christmas Cheer
Many Yomi; People Made Happy by
Charitable People of Council
Bluff.
Sixty children were made happy yester
day by the young women of the Flower
mission, who following their usual custom
provided a Christmas tree for their little
charges, who might otherwise not have
been remembered by Santa Claua.
The young women securel the large
store room In the Odd Fellows' building
for the entertainment yesterday morning
arid the place waa throngod by the happy
youngsters. Each member of the organi
sation had two youngsters as special guests
la charge. Each child received a present
from the tree in aditloa to a liberal supply
of casuy, fruit and other good thing.
Through the liberality of Mrs. George
Keeline, w ho donated I M0, the young: wo
men of the mission have been able to pro
vide clothing for a number of needy fam
ilies this Christmas. In addition to the
Christmas tree for the young folk yester
day, the members of the mission, through
the generosity of Mr. George Keellne, wil(
provide Christmas dinners today for twenty
poor families.
- The children of the Associated Charities
creche had a happy time yesterday, thanks
to the little folk, wbo-exe members of the
Baby Ernest Hart Flower mission of the
First Congregational church. These little
folks, who are better provided for In the
u orld's goods than the children at the
creche, provided a big Christmas tree which 1
they decorated themselves and which they
loaded with presents. At 4 o'clock In the
afternoon the gifts w ere distributed and
it would be hard to say which derived the
most pleasure from the distribution, th.
children w ho received the gifts, or the little
f o ks w ho provided the tree and the pres-
ents. The children at the creche will be
provided with a good Christmas dinner to
day. Id the evening they will sing at the
I'nlon mission services.

CRE.STON. Ia, lec 24. (Special.) From
a letter received several days ago by
County Auditor Pmeltaer from the execu
tive council of the state, asking for the last
assessment against the Western t'nion
Telegraphy company In Tnlon county. It
is believed that some settlement has been
effected in the dispute between the roun
cil and the company over the bark taxes.
Since 1MB the telegraph company has paid
no taies on Us property along the main
line of the Burlington and Its Humeston and
Shenandoah branch. At that time It
had an Injunction issued In the federal
courts, eliminating further assessment by
the state on the ground that the land oc
cupied by Its poles and wires were on
the Burlington railroad right-of-way and
and should not be subject to taxation.
Recently an official of the . Western
Vnlon. one from the Burlington and a
i representative of the executive council met
and arranged a settlement. It Is understood
that the Burlington railroad will piy the
back taxes against the Western Vnlon and
also look after It In the future. The money
will go to the different counties along the
line and will make a very fair sised Christ
mas remembrance.
Progress of lee Harvest.
CRESTON. Ia., Dec t. (Special -The

NEW TORK, Dec . The board of gov
ernors of the Explorers' club met yesterday
m executive session snd. standing In
silence, voted with bowed heads that Dr.
Frederick A, Cook be dropped from the
rolls of the club for frauds practiced on
Its members and on the pub'lc. Coming
hsrd upon the heels of the crushing vir
dict lately rendered by the t'niversity cf
Copenhaeen. the action of the Explorerj'
club today is the result of Independent In
vestigation, which in no way touch upon
the polar controversy, and the weight of
Its disapproval thus becomes cumulative.
Preliminary to Its vote of eipulsion, th
toard met to pss npon the report of lis
committee, which has been Investigating
the validity of Dr. Cook's axserUnn that he
retched the summit of Mount McKlnley.
This committee. In concluding an exhaust
ive report, recommended that "Dr. Cook's
claim that he ascended the summit or
Mount McKlnley In IMC be rejected by th
Explorers' club as unworthy of credence."
The committee's rcommer,dailon wgs
basfd on its finding that "Dr. Cook had
repeatedly made statements that have not
been In a coord with the facts, and that he
had entered Into agreements which he has
failed to keep, and that the mKFtatements
and broken agreements desl not only with
matters appertaining to discovery, but to
ordinary financial transactions, so that no
credence can be given to statements made
by him."
Galdea' Testlmoay Not Considered.
Among the seven signatures appended to
this arraignment are those of Caspar W.
Whitney and Antonla Fiala, both personal
friends of Dr. Cook. The committee is far
ther explicit In Its statement that It under
took Its Investigation only after first ap
prising Dr. Cook of Its purpose, which he
aptroved in person, and that It has disre
garded entirely the testimony of Edward
E&rr!!!, Dr. Conk's gu'.ds, ar.d of IT-cd-erlck
Prints, his packer although such tes
timony was before them because It wished
no cloud of partisan contention or ques
tion, of financial interest to dim the integ
rity of its verdlct-

Breaks Falta with Associates. '
Prof. Parker reports that ha was a part
ner with Dr. Cook In the McKlnley expe
dition, both physically and financially.
Dr. Cook assumed the lead with a plan
which proved unfeasible and the party es
caped with their Uvea, thanks to the lo
cal knowledge of Belmore Brown, one of
its members. '
"It was perfectly underitood," says Prof,
Parker, "that after the misadventure all
further attempts were abandoned for the
season. Otherwise Prof. Parker would not
have left the expedition,"
Instead of this, Dr. Cook, It is charged,
sidetracked all members of the expedition
until there remained only Cook, his guide.
Barrill, and one packer, who was subse
quently got rid of also. Thaee defections
left Dr. Cook, says Prof. Parker, no in
struments capable of measuring tha alti
tudes he says he attained. Moreover, he
adds, the summer's experience had shown
that, of all the party. Dr. Cook a;d Bar
rill were the least fitted physically for
arduous mountain climbing.
Belmore Brewn in the main confirms
Prof. Parker, laud says also that in Dr.
Cook's book there is not one data fcrlveu
from the time be left the Chulltna river.
This makes intelligent criticism Impossible,
hs declared. He asserts further that he
never saw Dr. Cook make a single aneroid
I barometer reading during the w hole trip,
j Confirming a charge that has previously
been made he says that Dr. Cook was
; known to be In serious financial straits
and would hae great difficulty in getting
j out of Alaska if he had not reported that
i he attained the summit of Mount McKJn
iley. Brown fortifies his charges with the
declaration that Cook and Barrill had no
ice creepera. and thai, though Dr. Cook
afterward told Prof. Parker that he (Cook)
and Barrill were roped together every foot
of the last stagea, ProfT'arker and Brown
both remembered that they destroj-ed the
climbing rope as defective, before they quit
the expedition. Furthermore, In none of
the pictures published in Dr. Cook's book,
does a climbing rope appear.
Brown and brie. don aiko report that
various photographs in Dr. Cook's book do
not represent the peaks they are said to
picture; and Sheldon denies that he is the
author of the appendix in the book, which
Dr. Cook credits to him.
story Is larreolble.
The committee as a whole, therefore, can
eludes in part, "that Dr. Cook'a account of
the ascent is not only such as to be un
convincing to the experienced mountaineer
but that under analysis It becomes in
credible, "That he entered into a secret financial
agreement with a publisher which resulted
In embarrassment to his assoc;ate.
"That he broke his agreement with his
fellow club members to supply his originsi
photographs and data upon w hlch his book
was bared."
Other conclusions of the committee may
be summarized as follows:
That the Mount McKlnley expedition
abandoned the ascent of the mountain 1906,
agreeli.g that no further attempt should
be made to reach the summit during that
scaaon, and with that understanding prof.
Parker set out at once for the coast.
That Dr. Cook persuaded Mr. Brown to
commence the collection of natural history
specimens In a locality that wou!d take him
well out of the neighborhood of tie last
operations of tha party.
That Dr. Cook, taking with him the
guide. Barrill. proceeded further lowjrd
the mountain with the declared object of
examining glaciers, but apparently to aj
oend some readily accessible part of 'he
mountain to secure photographs and other
data, upon which to base a claim of hav
ing ascended the highest peak, and to re
main absent a sufficient lengtk ef time fr
the possible accomplishment of the ascent

That Ir. Cook's action In attempting the
ascent (whether possible or not) Immedi
ately upon the departure of the rest of the
party after entering Into an agreement
with them that no further attempt would
be made for the season, was unfair to his
associates.

have reached the peak, is in reality a de

Mr. Humphreys and John Hayes Ham

Gompcrs Discusses
Labor Problems
Recommendations of President Taft
in Hit Mes&tg-e Are Adversely
Criticised.
WASHINGTON, Dec. J6 Samuel Grm
pers, prenident of the American Federation
of Labor, publishes a vigorous editorial
this month in the FederstiutUst, the offi
cial organ of the labor body, against both
the action of Uie supreme court of the Die
trict of Columbia and the recommendation
in President Taft's message to congress
with reference to the necessity for notioe
and hearing before injunction writs are
granted.
Both the action of the court and the
recommendation of the president art criti
cised. The former on the ground that it
was witlsuut sanction of tbe law and the
latter for the alleged reason that the pres
ident did not advocate anything that could
be attached lo an existing law or do
fy it.
After sketching the appeal from tin)
rlson sentence Imposed on Gompers, M or
ison snd Mitchell, which was granted by
.he supreme court of the United 8 a'.es,
and the opinion of Justice 8 lepard of tha
supreme court of the district, Mr. Gomptrs
ays:
"How any Intelligent man can read these
documents without being Inspired by the
liveliest hope for the success of labor's
cause It is difficult to see. The clearer
the whole matter is placed before the rea
sonable mind without the lesser and Ir
relevant points with which our opponents
arguments bristle, the plainer Is the way
seen to a Jurt Judgment."
Referring to President Taft's recommenda
tion, Mr. Gompers declares it proposes O)
improvement tn existing law. bi cause ho
alleges no si:rh law exista
