into his claim that he had scaled the
peak of Mount Mckinley in Septem-
Der, 1906.
The committee, of which Marshal
H. Saville, professor of archaeology
at Columbia university, is the chair
man, completed it's investigation some
days ago, and it's report has been
written and signed The verdict, ac-
cording to Professor Saville, will be
submitted to the directors of the EX-
day.
While Professor Saville did not
make any denial when asked if the
report was true that the decision will
be unfavorable to DR.. Cook, from an
other source information came that
tie committee had been unable to sat
isfy itself that the explorers asser-
tion that he scaled Mount Mckinley
had been sustained by any evidence
obtainable. 1t is likely that if the
committee reports decisively against
him, he will be expelled and his
name stricken from the club records.
Professor Saville was asked if the
committee had been able to get all
the evidence it sought.
I'VE have gone thoroughly into the
investigation; right to the bottom of
it, and our own report will be based
or what we found out" was the reply.
1t was recalled to Professor Saville
that DR.. Cook, appearing before the
committee last October, had promised
to respond at any time the investiga-
tors desired and explain the points
that might need clearing up. He
never went before the committee after
that, and disappeared from the city
month ago without notifying the
committee. This appeared a distinct
violation of his word, and Professor
Saville was asked if the doctors ac-
