MINORITY LEADER OF THE SENATE SAYS THAT IN THE FUTURE MATTER WILL BE CARED FOR EACH YEAR.
Washington, March 12. The commerce committee of the senate hav ing under consideration the rivers and harbors bill recently passed by the house, has completed the first reading of the bill. The clerks to the committee have indexed the amendment presented by senators, and they are many in number, preparatory to the hearings which will be granted senators on the distinctive projects in which they are interested. It has been a custom of the commerce committee, of which Senator Frye of Maine is chairman, not to hold public hearings on the various features of the rivers and harbors bill as has been the practice in the house committee, but to hear senators. who desire to explain the merits of their proposed amendments. This procedure will be followed as to the present bill, notices to senators having already been issued inviting their presence be fore the committee. To Be Annual Bill. "Hereafter there will be an annual rivers and harbors bill," said Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia, ranking member of the minority ou the commerce committee. "The committee realizes that a yearly bill is indispensible and it should come as regularly as any other of the supply bills. The practice of passing a river and harbor bill every two or three years has become absolete as the needs of the country have increased. I do not think I make a mistake In expressing the opinion that this view is concurred in not only by members of the committees of both houses of congress but I believe by the country as well. "There is no material opposition to the systematic Improvement of our waterways. They are vital arteries of commerce, not only valuablein themselves but valuable in Influencing railroad rates. "In my opinion the improvement of our rivers and harbors will be done with more vigor, more system and more scientifically than heretofore because the country has largely become educated to the needs of these natural highways of commerce, not only for the transportation of products between communities in our own country but in aiding our commercial relations with foreign countries. "Public sentiment has undergone a marked change toward our domestic waterways since I first became a member of the commerce committee ten years ago and I believe this change Is largely due to the campaign of education carried on by the National Rivers and Harbors congress and kindred associations." Will be an Increase. While the senator was not willing to express an opinion as to the probable action of the committee as to the amount the Mil will carry, there is no doubt but that there will be a material increase over the house bill, the amendments proposed by senators running into millions. Just when the bill will be reported is problematical. Tho committee proposes to proceed with, deliberation in the consideration of the bill, many new projects having been suggested which will require expert opinion as to their feasibility and advisability. Senator Martin became a member of the commerce committee at the first session of the 56th congress taking his place at the foot of the list. The late Senator George G. Vest was the ranking democratic member at that time, his other associates being . John P. Jones of Nevada, Berry of Arkansas, Caffery of Louisiana and Turner of Washington. Martin of Virginia and Clay of Georgia were added to the committee when the senate passed out of the control of the democrats and into republican control, the dominant party increasing their membership on the committee correspondingly. What is most remarkable in this connection is that out of a membership of seventeen, as the present committee is constituted, but seven were members ten years ago, Senator Martin being the only democrat to hold this distinction. Socrates and His Pupil. There is a story told of Socrates that he once asked a self confident pupil to draw a line and, the line being completed, to construct a square upon it The youth did as directed. "Now," said the sage, "make me a square twice the size of the one before you." "That is easy," replied the novice, and forthwith, producing the line so that It was double the length of the first, made another square. Very carefully Socrates proved to the now crestfallen follower that the new square was really four times the size of the original. Next he explained how the task ought to have beeu done and concluded his lesson with the remark, "Our first step to wisdom is ever a knowledge of our own ignorance." I The Stomach Dispensable? An operation for the removal ol the stomach. In a Chicago hospital recently, promoted discussion among the surgeons whether the stomach could be removed and the patient be none the worse for it. Before the discussion bad well died out. the patient had died. It demonstrated he could not live without his stomach.

New York, March 12. One of the most important scientific expeditions
of the year will start from Seattle on May 1st, when a party of experienced mountain climbers and scientists, headed by Professor Herschel C. Parker, of Columbia University, will set out for the Alaskan wilderness, where they will attempt to reach the summit of Mt. McKinley that defiant iceclad monster that has baffled the effort of scientists and explorers for the past decade. The expedition will be conducted by the American Geographical Society and the elaborate and novel arrangements that have been made should insure its success. All the experience gained in the many previous attempts to scale this rugged peak has been utilized in planning the forthcoming assault, and the men who will lead the expedition have had years of experience in the Alps and the Rockies. Professor Parker who will lead the party has already scaled four of the most difficult peaks in the Canadian Rockies, besides having clambered up and down the peaks of the Alps for years. In 1906 he accompanied Dr. Cook on the latter's new famous expedition to Mt. McKinley, the experience gained on that expedition has proved invaluable in outlining the details of the forthcoming trip. Grave doubts have always existed in Prof. Parker's mind as to the truth of Cook's claim to having reached the summit, and he intends to satisfy himself in regard to the matter of this trip. One of Prof. Parker's chief lieutenants will be Bellmore Browne, the artist, who was a member of the Parker-Cook expedition, and who is also an expert mountain climber. J. II. Kunz of Stevens Institute, II. I Tucker of the Appalachian Club of Boston and Waldemar Grassi, of Columbia are other prominent of the party. One of the principal features of the forthcoming trip will be the use of the, motor boat as a means of transportation. Pack horses will be tabooed as past experience has taught that they are a hindrance and the party will make their way through the 150 miles of wilderness to within striking distance of the base of the mountain by Of Interest to MADAME SEMBRICH. Madame Sembrich who has been singing in Chicago and is a world famed soprano has an open daj' the first week in May and her manager is looking forward to having her appear in this city. aj a WILL GIVE MUSICAL.

In the Cook expedition of 1906 a motor boat was used, but the party reached the headwaters of the river too late in the season to attempt to climb the mountain. After they had returned to their camp, however, Cook set out in company with two guides, and returned with a tale that he had reached the top. In outlining his plans for the forthcoming expedition to a representative of the International News Service, Professor Parker said : "The 'main party will leave Seattle about May 1st, and proceed direct to Cook's Inlet easiest way to reach the base of the mountain is from the south, and as soon as we reach the head of Cook's Inlet, we shall embark in a motor boat and sail up the Sushitna river to the Chulitna, and then tip the latter stream as far as it is navigable. Several large glaciers flew from Mt. McKinley toward the Music Lovers Mich., in May has just been published. J & J IS OF INTEREST. Local musicians in this city will be glad to know that Indianapolis has contributed a number of stars to the musical world, of whom she is justly proud. Among those who are especially prominent are Madame Cahier and Marguerite Lemon, both in European grand opera, also Eddie Brown, the young violinist of London and Orville Harrold the new American ten or, who has met with such wonderful success In Xew York, recently. .1 J6 J BISPHAM A SUCCESS. David Bispham who sang here in recital this season at the coliseum is scoring a wonderful success. The Chicago Examiner speaks of him as follows: Not alone did Mr. Bispham score as a reader last evening, but he also carried off the honors of the evening in his excellent rendition of his "Frithjof by Bruch. Here we heard the eminent baritone, Bispham give of his best. His voice was in particularly good condition, mellow, full and sonorous, and he displayed in the presentation of this work his versatile gifts. There are few singers on the concert stage of the day whose diction is as clear and distinct as his, and fewer still who bring to the interpretation of their musical messages such keen intelligence, such ripe, artistic knowledge and such genuine enthusiasm. J Jt . MAY FESTIVAL REHRSAL. The weekly rehearsal of the May Festival chorus will be held Tuesday evening as is the usual custom in the First Presbyterian church. All members of the chorus are requested to be present. . Jl OPEN MEETING A SUCCESS. A successful meeting of the Music Study club was held Wednesday evening of this week in the Starr Piano parlors.' An excellent program ar
Chulitan and the members of the party will load the supplies on their
backs and make their way across the glaciers to a favorable spot where base camp can be established. "From the base camp we intend to devote ourselves to a complete and exhaustive study of the mountain sysjtern that from the southern base of Mt. McKinley, and settle once for all the Question as to whether the summit can be reached via the south ern slope. In our expedition of 19nc, this route held out the greatest promise of success, but we first attempted to reach the base of the mountain from the west and failed. Then by the time we had reached the base from the south it was too late in the season to proceed. From the point, however the approach to the mountain looked impenetable, but the east and north west slopes held out more hope. "If, on our forthcoming Jrip. we fail to discover a climable ridge, it will be necessary in future attempts in order to conquer this great peak to make a winter campaign, and reach the base of the mountain by a dog sleigh over the snow." Since the year 1S95, when V. A Dickey, a prospector, first sightc this snow-capped peak, scientists and explorers have been untiring in their efforts to reach the summit in order to determine its correct height, which is estimated at 20.300 feet above the sea level. The peculiar topographical conditions of the surrounding country however, have caused the failure of the majority of these. The mountain is located in the center of the Alaska wilderness and exploring parties, de siring to reach the base are compel! ed to travel at. least 150 miles through an almost impassable country, undergoing all sorts of hardships and many dangers in crossing the swollen streams and scaling the ice-clad slopes of the neighboring heights. By the time the party reaches the base of the mountain, the members are worn out, their supplies are depleted and they are unable to begin the more formiahle task of climbing a slope, which is one mass of ice from a distance of 3 4,000 feet. By using the motor boat, the Parker expedition will eliminate the hardships incident to reaching the base of the mountains and will thus be in excellent condition to begin the ascent. ranged by Mrs. Will Earhart and Mrs. Wickham Corwin was presented. j SPECIAL MUSIC BY QUARTET.

UNCLE SAM IS INQUIRING (American News Service) New York, March 12. One hundred and sixty subpoenas for as many members of the New York Stock Exchange, were issued today, requiring their attendance on Monday before United States Commissioner Alexander to identify the persons who placed buy. ing or selling orders for Hocking Coal and Iron on the day of the great slump. It is hoped thereby, to trace the identity of those responsible for the dis- , astrous slump. Checks For the Communion Table. The author of "The Sabbath In Puritan New England" mentions a custom which prevailed la several New England churches that made it the duty j of the deacons to walk up and down j the aisles of the church at the close of j each service and deliver to every perI 6on who in their judgment was fitted to commune a metal -check, which entitled him at the next celebration of the Lord's supper to join in the sacred ordinance. On the communion Sabbath it was the deacons" doty to see that every one who presented himself at the Lord's table had this check and to collect it from the communicant before passing to him the bread and wine.
