Admiral Howard. commanding the

Daniels today that he ordered the

on her way to the Mexican coast from

along the Lower California coast and the

the japanese have undoubtedly been
making q freer use OF the bay and shore
Than would have been the case other

STUCK AND COOk MT. M 'k|NLEY
 DISPUTE

ArChdeacon Stuck, who is Bishop Rowes representative in interior Alaska, insists that Dr. Cook did not climb Mt. Mckinley. The New York Evening Post Prints the following from the prelate:
 When 1 reached Fairbanks a couple of weeks ago, on my usual winter journey one of the newspapers of that place had leading article re- ferring to book recently published by MT. Edwin Swift Balch, of Phila- delphia, in which an attempt is made to revive Dr. Cooks claim to have climbed to the top of Denali, or Mt. Mckinley, and the paper was urgent that l be interviewed" on the sub ject. But had not seen the book, and cannot possibly see it until the summer, and I declined to say anything
The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-23

ment touching the top of the noun tain to which Dr. Cook commits him. self would seem to betray him. We found what had every appearance of everlasting snow not only at the top, but for the last l,5OO feet of the | ascent
 If McEdwin Swift Balch can con, vince the councils of the Alpine clubs and the Geographical societies that Dr. Cook reached the top of DenaIi shall cheerfully relnQulsh claim to priority to which have never ar- tached much importance. I desired to climb the mountain; that desire has been gratifed, and I care little more whether or not it were climbed before than I do haw many times 1t may pe climbed again. Yesterday, as jour- neyed to this place, where I lie over Sunday on my way to Iditarod. I saw the great mountain from it's most picturesque side, not more than sixty or seventy miles away, dazzlingly splendid in the winter sun, and it seemed a shame that it should be the subject of controversy, that accusa, tions of fraud and falsehood should center around it's immaculate head. I protest, so far as my own claim 70 the first ascent is concerned, would not trouble to put pen to paper in defense of 1t. am very much more interested in securing the restoration of the native names of these moun- tains than in the matter of the first ascent.
 But everybody knows that much else is concerned; everybody knows that the establishment of this claim is sought mere as the vantage ground for the establishment of far more i'm. portant claim; and as I see it, it be- comes my duty to offer my very decid- ed and deliberate opinion that this claim is not founded on fact. The opinion must go for what it is worth: it is not my place to weigh it against the opinion of the armchair" geog- raphers, as George Vancouver used to call them. But I will venture with all confidence this, that any man who having read Dr. Cooks book, shall | himself climb to the top of the noun many more times. or. having climbed many more times, or, having climbed the mountain. shall read pr. Cooks

a lophole for defence. When I re-read that chapter on my return from the mountain was positively convinced that it was not written by a man who had climbed to it's summit or had been much above 10000 feet of it.
 If Dr. Cook, approaching the noun tain from the south, climbed to the summit by the northeast arreate Gal though my recollection is that the book is vague even on this cardinal point, he must have crossed at least two and probably three lofty icy ridges themselves high mountains, ascend. ing to their crests, descending thous ands of feet to the glaciers below, ana ascending the opposite sides, a task the mere physical distance and labor of which would be utterly out of the question in the two or three days he gives to whole ascent He could not reach the northeast arreate at all save from one or other of the arms of the MuldrOw glacier, and the northeast ar reate is the only path to the summit of the mountain.
 No one, the summer through, with the most powerful glasses, has ever detected the slightest sullylng of the snows of the summit, such as the presence of naked granite slabs would cause; thus the one definite state
