CROSS GREAT CREVASSES
Mazama ScoHts'Rctnrn and Hcport a
Xcw Trail, Much Easier to
Climb' Than the Old One,
and .Much Safer.
PARADISE V ALLEY, via Longmlre
Springs, July 26. Last night the wild
est enthusiasm prevailed among the
"tfazamas. occasioned by the safe re
turn of two scoutlng"parties of climb
ers, the first composed of General
Stevens. Professors Flett, Lyman,
TLandes. C. X. Landes and Mr. Plum,
who had made the ascent of Mount
Rainier by the old trail, and the other,
the Kiser Corps and Mr. Sholes, who
had been since Saturday searching for
a new trail up the west side of the
mountain.
Mr. Sholes told of the new trail,
which Is very much easier than the
old one, and perfectly safe climbing to
within 500 feet of the top of one pin
nacle and 1500 feet of another. There
the most magnificent crevasses, in
every imaginable shape and size. so.
deep that they become fairly black as
the depth increased and criss-crossed
in every direction make passage abso
lutely Impossible.
Mr. Patton. a Kiser man with long
experience in mountain-climbing, says
he never saw anything that could ap
proach it In the magnificence and
grandeur of Its beauty. Mr. Patton also
reported the presence of mountain
goats in the wild vicinity of the west
Bide.
General Stevens said there was less
steam in the crater than 36 years ago.
when ho first made the ascent: also
less snow and much disintegration of
the rocks around Gibraltar.
The Mazamas marched oft at 1 P. M.
in one long line, made up of companies
of ten. Each company has a loader,
but the -members aro provided with al
penstlcks, spiked boots and completely
disguised by grease paint and adhesive
plasters. . The company, like the Sier
ras, is thoroughly organized and under
signed agreement to obey the loader in
every detail. It is hardly possible that
an accident can occur. The Siorrans
will leave their blankets-at Camp Mulr
for the Mazamas, -as they pass the
Mazamas going. tup as they come down.
The most marvelous piece of mountain-climbing
eer performed on the
American continent, according to many
members of the great clubs, was the
feat of two young Slerrans. Jack Glass
cock, of Berkeley College, and Mr. Dud
ley, a nephew of Professor Dudley, of
Stanford. They have Just arrived in
camp after 24 hours of climbing. They
took a new route up the mountain, go
ing on the southwest side, where near
the top they encountered the most ter
rible crevasses, so wide that they could
cross only by climbing down into
them. They made their way from cre
vasse to crevasse till they reached the
crater.
Often young Hancock, who was the
leading spirit, pulled himself up by
overhanging Ice ledges, then dropped
swinging into the creva6se from the
two alpenstocks and drew up his com
panion. He has climbed all the leading
peaks of the Pacific Coast,
Both men are under 20. They had
for food six crackers between them,
and these were not eaten. Glasscock
looked worn and aged when he reached
camp.
The Sierras and Appalachians made
the ascent and returned at 7 oclock
last night, without serious accident.
Dr. Lappan sprained his knee on Gib
raltar Rock, but continued the ascent.
Mr. Blaze was the only one to suffer
from mountain fever.
The wife of Chaplain Clemens, of the
I'nltod States Army, is ill, wrapped in
blankets and lying among the rocks of
Camp Muir. Her condition is not
alarming, and she will probably make
the descent today, coasting most of the
way.
The Mazamas will reach the sum
mit and return to Camp Muir tonight.

Saloons Aro Ordered to Close, In Ac
cordance "With Ordinance
Recently Passed.
BOISE. Idaho, July 26. (Special.) The
complications over the closing af saloons
at midnight and on Sundays has taken a
new turn. The method adopted Monday
for suspending operation of the ordi
nances in a ruling by the PoMce Judge
gave rise to a etorm of Indignation that
has culminated In a change of programme.
It seems there was an understanding
between the Chief of the Police and the
Mayor that the -decision of the Police
Judge that the closing ordinances should
be suspended pending hearing of the test
case in the hlfiher court should be rec
ognized as binding. The Mayor denies
this, but it Is affirmed by persons who
know.
The Chief found there was likely to be
serious trouble over his failure to en
force the ordinances and yesterday he de
manded, that the Mayor give him written
instructions in accordance with the under
standing. The matter was put over until
today, when the tequest of the Chief was
renewed, the officer stating he would
proceed to make arrcms tonight unless
the Mayor shouldered the responsibility in
writing.
After considering the matter all day, the
Mayor issued an order this afternoon to
the Chief to close the saloons In accord
ance with the provisions , of the ordi
nances. The Chief thereupon perved no
tice upon the saloon men to that effect,
it haB created a commotion in saloon cir
cles and the Mayor ib criticised by a large
proportion of the saloon men for having
gone at the matter of getting rid of the
ordinances In the manner that has bee a
pursued.

John E. Humphries Explains Situa
tion In Address Before University
Improvement Cluh of Seattle.
SEATTLE. July 25,-Before the Uni
versity Improvement Club of Seattle this
evening John E. Humphries delivered an
address in which he explained the .status
of the 'municipal-ownership question in
this city. He said there wjis a general
misunacrsianainu in mgarow ujc ucoSj
of the -recent election In Chlca'go on mu
nicipal ownership: and he proceeded to
explain as follows:
Under the peanliar constitution of. the State
of Illinois, pro virion is made for the passage
by the Legislature of local laws to take ef
fect at an election la the county, city or town
where the electors, by a majority vote of the
county, city or town approve the law.
May 18. 1903. an act was approved entitled,
"as act- to authorize cities to acquire, con
rtruet, own, operate and leave street rail
ways, and to provide the means therefor."
which act was In force July 1. lf03. In see
tlon of the act it is provided. "Tblr act
shall net be in force- in any elty until the
question of Its adaption in such city rhall
flirt have been mbmltted to the ejectors of
aid city and approved by a majority of
those voting thereon."
The law could net be In effect until a ma
jority of the electors of the City of Chicago
vote in favor of the law being approved. At
the laft city election, the issue before the
people was the questtoH whether or not the
set of the Legislature sheaM beeeroe the law
In the City of Chicago. Under the constitu
tion et meet of the states, an act of the
Legislature goes Into force, when there in an
emergency clause. In the time provided for
in the act. otherwise In x certain time after
the Legislature adjourn. But the act above
mentioned could not tafce effect uaUl ap
proved by a majority of -the electors of the
City of Chicago voting thereon, at a time fixed
by the City Csuncil for taking the vote.
At the time Mayor Dunne was elected, a
vote was taken upon the Question submitted
to the electors ot the city as to whether or
not the act should go Into force, and a ma
jority voting at the election approved the act
of the Legislature, so that the law is now
in force.
But under the law that is now In force, by
virtue of the last election, section 1. it is
provided thus, "hut no city shall proceed to
operate etreet railways unlets the propotl
tion to operate shall first have been sub
mitted to the electors of such city as a sep
arate proposition and approved by three-fifths
of those voting thereon.
It will be seen from the above quotation that
the City of Chicago cannot have "the power
to own. construct, acquire, purchase, main
tain and operate street railway within its
corporate limits, and to leas the same, or
any part ot the same, to any company incor
porated under the laws ot this alata for the
purpone of operating' street railways for any
period not longer than 3) years, on such
terms and conditions as the City Council shall
deem for the best Intereot ot the public, un
less the Council shall first submit to the elec
tors of the city, as a separate proposition,
under the act slated, and the proportion shall
be approved by three-fifth of those voting
hereon.
Up to this time, the City Council of the City
of -Chicago has not submitted to the electors
of the city the question of whether or not
they are in favor of municipal ownership, and
three-fifths of the electors of the city of
Chicago have not voted la favor of municipal
-ownership. A majority of the electors have
only voted in favor of the law talcing effect.
but have not voted directly upon the ques
tion of municipal ownership.
The City ot Chicago, tinder the law as it
now ataads, has no power to own. construct.
acquire, purchase, maintain and -operate street
railways within Its corporate limits, conse
quently no matter how radical Mayor Dunne
Jias been upon the proposition of municipal
ownership, he is entirely powerless to ac
complish anything until the matter has been
submitted to the electors of th? city, aad
approved by three-fifths of those voting there
on.
Mayor Dunne baa not changed bis position.
He is still ot the opinion that Chicago
have aaunleipa ownership. He is still de
termined that Chicago shall have municipal
ownership, but the City Council will not sub
mit the question to the electors, as provided
for in the act of May IS, 1S03, or at all. con
sequently it will be a long time before Chi.
cago win be enabled to own its street-car
lines.

REUSES HIS LIBERTY
Collins Charged With Tamper
ing With Witnesses.
GIVEN AN EXTRA GUARD
Fugitive San Francisco Lawyer
Again Tries to Gain Permission
to Sleep In a Hotel, but
Is Denied.
VICTORIA. B. C. July 26,-Frank
Hlggins, representing the State ot Cali
fornia In the extradition proceedings
against George D. Collins, wanted at San
Francisco for perjury, stated to Judge
Liimpman this afternoon that Collins had
used tho liberty given him by the police
to tamper with witnesses of the prosecu
tion and the matter had been brought to
the attention of Justice Duff, who might
proceed against him for contempt of
court.
The statement was made in Teply to an
application for further liberty for Collins
by his counsel, H. D. Helmcken, at the
conclusion ot today's proceedings. Mr.
Helmcken stated Collins had been at
liberty with a special officer detailed to
watch him until 10 P. M. dally until the
witnesses came from San Francisco, and
yesterday he was ordered to return to
the city Jail at 6 P. M. Application then
to Judge Lampman secured him further
liberty until 10 P. M.
It was necessary for consultation re
garding the case. at this stage that lib
erty be given Collins in the evening. As
In the Gaynor and Greene case the fugi
tives were allowed' to remain at their
hotel at night, accompanied by officers.
Collins being willing to pay the expense
of additional officers. Since the officers
ot the courts came from San Francisco
attempts had been made to unnerve and
irritate Collins- by the police, and. more
over, the room In which he was confined
at the Jail was not well" ventilated and
allowed undesirables Incarcerated there
to roam about his place of confinement.
Mr. HlRglns reply said Collins had been
given every latitude but had last night
taken advantage of tho liberty given him
to tamper with one of the witnesses of
the Drosecuilon. The matter had been
brought to the attention of Justice Duff
and be might proceed against the accu'sed
for contempt of court. Collins Interpolated:
There's hardly a word of truth In
that account." Mr. Hlggins replied:
,rVIU ydu produce the statement you
got from Mr. Henry, the notary?"
Collins said he had been given a state
ment by Henry voluntarily. Judge Lamp
man said he could not give latitude to
anyone to interfere with witnesses, as
had seemingly been done, and apparently
the liberty he had ordered for Collins the
provlous evening had been taken Advant
age of. He refused the application. Since
then an extra officer has been detailed to
assist In guarding Collins.
