Referring to Barrilrs sworn state

Il cannot really understand why
Barrill should have made such state

he was acting under normal conditions
I must say 1t surprises me. We were
always on the most friendly terms
Until / know of the conditions under

I will make no specific reply to 1t. My
account of the trip has been published
For the present, 1t is the bald state

IF an expedition of experienced men

will go to the top of Mount Mckinley
they will find there the records wnich

RIGHT OF JURY TRIAL
JUDGE FORT so DECIDES IN BIR-
MfNGHAM.


Birmingham, Oct. 14.--tSpecial.)-.
Judge Fort. of the, second division of
the criminal court. today rendered
decision in the motion made by the at
torney for ]. T. Wilson. who brought
an appeal from the recorders court of
Birmingham. where fine was imposed
on charge of gaming. the decision be-
ing that the defendant was entitled to
a trial by jury.
Something like two hundred cases
were held up in the criminal court by
reason of the motion on this subject.
the greater number of the cases. being
those growing out OF work done by
special. detectives. Carroll and Wagner,
who were hired by Mayor O'Brien.
Judge Fort held that when the legis-
lature enacted the Jaw providing for
a. recorders court in Birmingham 1t
was stipulated that the same course
should prevail in appeals as with ver-
diets or decisions in justices of the
peace courts, and that carries with 1t
the right Of trials by jurirs while the
legislative enactment OF an inferior
court as prevailed previously did not
carry with 1t an appeal and trial by
ujry. .-s..-
The Judge OF the criminal court or
dered all the cases pending that are
similar to the Wilson case to be as
signed to position on n jury docket.
which means that 1t will be a long
time before the majority of them will
have been tried.

when questioned yesterday anent the
proposed location of the Peabody Col

elected board of trustees of the school
and that they would determine the
site. He also stated that Vanderbilt
University had given no option on its

at may state, however" said Cham
cellor Kirkland, that the executive
committee looks with favor on the
proposition of affiliation; that 1t will
do all in its power to cooperate with
the trustees of the George Peabody

The chancellor denied that any
proposition had been made to the

the, relation of Vanderbilt to the
Methodist Church. He paid high

the purpose Of climbing Mckinley. In
that party were DR.. Frederick A. Cook

Fred Printz. s. p. Beecher and my
self. We landed at Tyonek on Cook
pack horses and power boat for the
Susitna river. Barrill. Printz and
Beecher took the pack outfit overland
and met us on the headwaters of the
Yentna about 100 miles from Cook
Inlet.
after exploring the country there
for a suitable route to Mount Nc
Kinley, the advance was abandoned
for that year and our party divided.
Prof Parker returning to New York;
Porter. the topographer, staying In
that vicinity for the purpose of mapp-
ing the country. Brown and Beecher
went to the Matunaska, and Printz
and I to the Kechatfa on a hunting
trip.
Cook, Barrill and a man named

September %. I knew nothing of their
movements except what was told me
by Barrill,
whenever asked Barrin concern
ing the ascent he always referred me
to Cook
ASK the doctor about it, he would
answer. he told me not to say any
thing about it
Cook told the story OF the ascent
to us several times on the way out.
Later I met Barrill in Missoula. where
he told me the facts of the trip. He
said neither he nor DIR. Cook made
the summit of Mount Mckinley, and
pointed out to ME on the map the
different camps and the point which
Cook claimed was the summit Of Mount
Mckinley. This point is fully twenty
miles from the summit
"A fortnight ago I was asked ~ an
attorney for an exploration club with
headquarters in New York to bring
Barrill and Printz to Tacoma for the
purpose Of making affldavits as to the
actual facts of the trip to Mount Nc
Kinley. Those aff1davits have been
made
Il met Barrill In Seattle on Nav
Is, 1906 knew nothing of him up

packer for the expedition and took
Barrill along as assistant
Il had no particular reason to doubt
COOKS word at the time we Joined
him after our hunting trip and he told
US he had been to the top of Mount
Mckinley The fact hardly seemed
possible. but I gave the matter little
thought until Barrill told me the point
they actually reached.
