COOK AS SCIENTIST
LIABLE TO MISTAKE

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Herschel c.
Parker, professor. scientist. and ex-
plorer, when seen yesterday at his
home, No. q Fort Greene place, Brook
lyn. talked freely about mis- attempt to
climb Mt. Mckinley with DR.. Cook in
the spring OF 1906.
1T is difficult to credit DR. Cooks
calculations in regard to that trip
said the professor In the erst place,
we did not have proper Instruments,
and had we possessed them it is doubt
ful If DR.. Cook was sufficiently versed
in their use to make an observation OF
any scientific value.
Then, too, the doctors account OF
the ascent was directly contradictory to
facts those who had been with him dur
ing the first part OF the journey knew
TO exist We started out early in May,
taxing with us a motor boat and a
complete equipment for mountain climb
Ing. We first attempted to make the
ascent on the nOrthe2S terly side Of the
mountain. After going some distance,
We were Obliged TO return TO the boat.
Make Second Attempt
we made a second attempt to scale
the mountain from the same quarter,
and with a similar result. We then
circled the mountain and tried TO gain
the summit from the northwest. Here
we Jared stil worse. In most places
the side OF the mountain was nearly
perpendicular. In other huge masses
of rock jutted out so far that we were
forced to climb around them.
In this way we lost much valuable
time. Finally We had 20 turn back
without so much as having sighted the
top OF the mountain. II was late IN
August before the boat was reached.
The party was broken up, as the con-
sensus of opinion seemed TO be the sea-
son was too far sc yanced to admit of
much further exploration Dr. Cook
announced mis- intention 10 remain some
weeks longer 10 examine lateral glaciers

did his photographs. 2 man highly
skilled in the manipulation Of scientific

was that Dr.. Cook had reached the top

At any rate, the report IL regard 10
Mt. Mckinley is OF small Importance
for since DR.. Cooks alleged ascent two
other peaks of probably greater alti-
tude have been discovered However

may think of his scientific state

Berkeley Girl Objects to Rejected
Suit0r's Attentions and Says
He Disturbed Her Peace


BERKELEY, Oct. S.--Can a courtship
broken off be renewed without danger
of disturbing the peace if the advances
are not to the liking of the young
woman in question? This is the prob
lem which Judge Robert Edgar of this
city will be called upon to answer when
the courtroom is opened at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
On the one hand will be Miss Minnie
Brodenstein, pretty and 1s years of
age, while opposing her will be DIR.
Ethan w. Scott, dentist of 3104 Shat
tuck avenue, whom she had arrested
for persisting in his attentions to her
after the broken engagement.
Doctor Scott, who was booked on a
charge of disturbing the peace and
released on the payment of s10e bail TO
insure his appearance in court, said
that he meant no harm and that he
merely wished to tell Miss Brodenstein
of his love.
She ayers that he knew how she felt
after the broken engagement and did
not intend to have him follow her
around the streets protesting his love
and undying affection.
She therefore appealed 10 Judge Ed
gar today for a warrant for the arrest
of the too ardent suitor, as he is said to
have accosted her at the corner of Ade-
line and Harmon streets in the south
end, where both are well known, and

VALUABLE SHADE TREES

BERKELEY, Oct Sowing to the
presence of tree pest in the South
Berkeley section a large number of the
shade trees which have been an orna-
ment in Harper street between Ashby
avenue and Russell street may be cut
down Superintendent of Streets Chris
Engelbretsen has already ordered the
razing of the trees and a protest was

Report was made that Prof. c. w.
Woodworth of the university has de-
clared that on account of the insect t
work on the trees care must be taken
that the pest does not spread to other
parts of the city.
1t is likely that only the infected
trees will be cut down.
