intelligent criticism impossible, he
declares. He asserts that he never
saw Cook made single aneroid
barometer reading during the whole
trip Confirming the charge pre-
yiously made he says Cook was in
serious financial straits and would
have had great difficulty in getting
out OF Alaska if it had not been re-
ported that he attained the summit
OF Mount Mckinley.
Brown declares that Cook and Bar
rill had no ice creepers, and that,
though Cook afterward said he and
.Barrill were roped together every
foot of the last stages, Parker and
Brown both remembered destroying
the climbing rope as defective, before
they quit the expedition. In none Of
the pictures published in Dr. Cook S
book, does the climbing rope appear.
Brown and Sheldon report that
various photographs in Cooks book
don't represent the peaks they are
said to picture. Sheldon denies that
he wrote an appendix in the book
which Cook credits to him.
Account Unconvincing.
The committee as a whole, there
fore. concludes that Cooks account
of the ascent is not only unconvincing
to experienced mountaineers, but UNI
der analysis is incredible.
THAT he entered into a secret
financial agreement with the pub
Usher which resulted in the embar.
rassment of his associates.
THAT he broke his agreement with
his fellow club members to supply
his original photograph and data upon
which the book was based"
Other conclusions of the committee
may be summarized as follows
That the Mount Mckinley expedi-
ton abandoned the ascent, agreeing
that no further ATTEMPT should be
made to reach the summit that sea
son, and with this understanding Par
ker started for the coast
Sent Brown Away.
That Cook persuaded Brown to
commence q collection of natural his
tory specimens in locality that
would tate him ont of the neighbor-
hood of the party's last operations
That Cook. taking his guide, Bar
rill, proceeded further toward the
mountain with the declared object of
examining glaciers, but apparently to
ascend some readily accessible part
to secure photographs and other data.
upon which he based the claim of
having assembled the highest peak.
That he did not have proper equip.
ment, facilities and instruments for
such an undertaking
That DR.. Cooks description of the
ascent of the northeast ridge. by
which he claimed to have reached
the peak. is in reality description
of the southeast ridge.

Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Lottaville, Ind. June s.-Willie Os-
borne a 16-year-old boy, of Griffith was
arrested by two Grand Trunk railway
detectives on charge of attempting
to wreck a passenger train on the
Grand Trunk railway
1t seems that the attempted wreck
was made some two months ago. when
young Osborne placed a tie across the
westbound tracks. The only thing
which saved the wrecking of the fast
noon passenger train was the fact that
an east bound train noticed the tie
and reported it at Griffith
The two detectives have been work
ing on the case ever since. and it was
only Saturday that they obtained suf-
icient proof to arrest the boy. When
questioned as to why he committed
the deed, he answered that He did not
know. However, hs attempted no de-
nial of the story. He said that he did
not want to see If the train was
wrecked, but walked right away after
placing the tie on the track
He also told the detective that the
Grand Trunk railway had burned two
stacks of his fathers hay and they
had received no money for them
Osborne was taken to Valparaiso,
Ind. from where he will be probably

GOVERNOR GETS
4 NOVEL INVITATION
Soldiers Want Him to De
eide Who Is the Official
Horseshoe Champion.

When Governor Marshall leaves
Hammond on Saturday he will proba-
bly, accept another invitation of quite
a different nature from that which
brought him here.
He has been invited to be the Off
cial starter at a horseshoe pitching
contest at the National Soldiers Home
at Marion. which is to settle for the
ensuing twelve months who is the In
diana champion tosser of the emblem
of good luck The invitation was for
warded by the cutodian of the horse
shoe pitching ground at the home and
asked the governor to lay aside his ex-
ecutive duties for the afternoon of June
Il in order to see that the contest was
fairly started and fairly carried on.
Horseshoe pitching, it appears, is
the chief pastime of the members of
the home, and their pitching grounds
are prepared with as much care as a
baseball diamond. They are surround
ed with seats arranged in amphitheater
style and a special custodian is Sc
lected to have charge of them. The
champion exponents of the time-hon-
ored art are thought to live in the
home although. as far as history rec
ords. there has never been a contest
held to decide the Hoosier champion
ship.

FOREIGNERS WILL
HAVE TO Be GOOD
Gary's Chief of Police Be
gins Suit in the Lake
Superior Court.

Chief of Police Martin of Gary is de-
termined to put stop to the prac-
tice on the part of foreigners in the
territory over which he has jurisdic-
ton aiding foreigners to escape.
A case was sent to the Lake superior
court from Jnustice A. C. Huber's court
this morning in which Sam Vojnovich
is charged with secreting, concealing
and assisting Mitar Lemak, the muir
derer of Nichola Rebraca after he had
committed the crime.
The affidavit, which is made by the
chief, alleges that after the murder
Rebaca, May 6, when Lemak shot him
with revolver. Mitar Lemak made
his escape after he had been harbored
by Sam Vojnovich.
The chief takes the position that a
person who would harbor a murderer
is an enemy to the community and
should be severely punished as a warn
ing to others who might be tempted TO
do likewise.
1t is the fact that the foreigners in
Gary will protect criminals against the
police that makes the policing and pro-
lection of the city so difficult.
