Family i'm Dire Need
Society Asks Public to Aid il
Caring for Members

The continued illness Of the father
and mother Of the "Laniel" children
has brought the family to condition
of extreme destitution. The mother
was removed to the hospital, where she
remained month after her confne-
ment and is still in weak condition.
Then the father, who had been unable
10 work for several weeks, was taken
into the hospital a complete wreck, due
largely to insufficient food.
There are three children in the fam
lily, all under three years Of age, who
need special care.
The Society Of St. Vincent de Paul,
Court Square, whose attention was
called to this family by the social SER
vice department of local hospital, has
undertaken to provide the needed food,
clothing and rent until the parents
are able to again take up the work.
This will require at least $3.50, for
which the society makes an appeal.

canvass Of the districts usually haunt
cd by these women showed them to be
deserted Thursday night.
Mr.. Smith, assisted by representa-
tives Of the Parkhurst Society and
the Committee Of Fourteen, he said,
were making every effort to reach i'm
portant witnesses, but had found that
they were fleeing from the city in
large numbers.
The money for these enforced yaca-
tons away from New York, said the
prosecutor, evidently was coming from
some one. He intimated that this
source might be revealed when the first
batch of indictments was returned
early next week.
Women Get Warning
Those who are remaining in the city
are reported to have been warned OF
them If they respond to the invitation
of the prosecutor and "peach" on their
former associates. Among those who
have been warMed not to testify against
the police are the two women who are
the prosecuting witnesses against Gun
son.
Both Rebecca Melyado and Estelle
Young said that they had been threat
ened. and asked Mr.. Smith to find some
means Of protecting them. While
awaiting his assistance yesterday they
refused to leave his inner Office. In
response to their pleas, he took the
young women before Judge Malone,
who ordered them committed to the
Florence Crittenton Home under $4,000
bonds each. There they will stay until
tbs, conclusion Of the Gunson case case,
and possibly until the present police

Investigation Of the stories Of these
two women, according to Mr.. Smith,
has resulted in substantiating every
statement that could be verified by
disinterested persons. He said that
he had seen their former employers
and had found that they actually had
left the life they were leading whom
known to the police in order to make
an effort to "go straight" But 1t was
because of persecution by the police
men they have named that they were
forced to return to the street, he said.
Bank Books Scrutinized

with the result that they have found
that on every occasion that the women
were arrested sums of money had been
withdrawn that equaled the amount
that they declared was paid for "fx-
ing" the case.
These sums ranged from 5000 to
$500, according to the women. 1t was
found that such Withdrawals irvar-
ably followed the dates Of their re-
lease.
Miss Melyado naively pointed to the
fact that she had been practically
penniless on coming to New York and,
as a result, had not been able to meet
the demands for money that were made
upon her.

Separation Granted
To Parker's Wife;
Explorer Missing
Conqueror of Mt. McKin-
ley, Former Columbia
Professor, Makes No De-
fense; Long Prominent

Judge Benedict, in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, yesterday granted a
separation order, with an allowance of
s1oo month, to Mrs. Evelyn Naegele
Parker, wife Of Professor Herschel
Clifford Parker, inventor and explorer,
who was once professor Of physics at
Columbia University. Professor Parker
was not represented at the hearing,
and friends Of Mrs. Parker said he had
dropped from sight. Mrs. Parker lives
at q Fort Greene Place, Brooklyn.
Since her husband left her "to 60 out
into the wide world" Mrs. Parker told
the court. she has received no support
from him. He had failed to pay her
alimony pending the hearing of the
case, and she is now learning trade
that she may have enough money to
support herself and her two children.
Professor Parker, famous as the con-
Queror of Mount Mckinley, as an as
sailant of DR.. Frederick A. Cooks claim
to the same achievement, and more re-
Gently as the inventor of the "baby u
boat" has been prominent in the news
fer years by reason of hts scientific
and exploration activities. When the
separation action was brought last fall
he was represented by counsel, who
said that his client was poor and de-
pendent upon the charity of friends.
With Belmore Brown, an artist, who
formerly lived in New York, but now
resides in Tacoma, Wash, Professor
Parker several times attempted to
climb Mount Mckinley, the highest
peak on the American continent On
the last attempt, in 1912, the party
reached point within 800 feet Of the
by an earthquake. This is the nearest
success ever achieved.
Some time pervious DR.. Parker at
tackled DR.. Cooks claim to have climbed
Mount Mckinley. Cook and Parker
had been friends UP to that point, and
with Belmore Brown Parker had ac-
compnnied Dr. Cook on previous ex-
plors ton Of the mountain.
Professor and Mrs. Parker have two
daughters, Evelyn, eight years old, and
Cynthia, six. The elder was born while
Professor Parker was on one of his
Mount Mckinley expeditions. On that
occasion Mrs. Parker travelled across
the continent to meet her husband at
Seattle.
Mrs. Parker says her husband took
with hm when he left his collection Of
antiques and curios, which he valued at
$4,000 and made over all his personal
property to Mr.. Brown. She also al
legged that since his marriage DR.. Parker
had inherited 100000, and that he had
made $4,000 through exploration ven-
lures.

Auto Raised From Creek,
But No Bodies Are Found
Chauffcur's Glove and Wom.
ans Handbag Give No Clew
- nnn~~un,,%a r& Co,.
to OCCuDante of Car


Although the harbor police succeeded
yesterday In raising the automobile
which plunged into Sherman Greek
from Academy Street early Tuesday
morning, the fate Of the persons be-
lieved to have beep It's occupants still
is mystery. A chauffeur's glove
and woman's handbag were found
in the car.
The car, a yellow taxicab with black
trimmings, was stolen a few hours be-
fore the accident. Charles r. Hearst,
Of IL West Fifty-sixth Street, owner
Of the taxi, left it at the curb at 115th
Street and Broadway soon after mid
night Tuesday while he went into a
restaurant. When he came out the
car was gone.
When the car was raised tho door
on the right side was open and the
glass on the opposite door was
smashed. The police believe that the
glass was broken when the car went
over the embankment. Having an
aperture on either side, the car gave
full sweep to the tide Of the last three
days, which probably would have swept
any bodies it might have contained
into the Harlem River.
The police continued their work
with graphing irons at the spot where
the car was found, however, to make
certain that no chance Of recovering
bodies was overlooked.

Pardo Refutes Charges
OF Peruvian Revolt Plot
Report Manufactured in Lima
and Sent Here for Transmis-
sion Back There. He Saws

In statement yesterday Jose Pardo
former President of Peru, nov in this
city, announced the result Of an in
vestigatlon by the Washington author
tiles refuting the charges published in
dispatch from Lima last month that
friends Of his here had attempted to
organize an expedition in Mexico look
ing to the overthrow Of the present
Peruvian government.
Sefor Pardo says that on the pub
lication of this report, which declared
that former President Monies of Boil
via and the government of Chile were
assisting the alleged movement. Senor
Pardo's friends in New York, who had
been expelled from Peru by the gov
ernment of President Leguia, at once
sent kilograms to the Lima newspapers
denying the report and Simultaneous
ly protested in writing to Senor Fuchs
Peruvian Minister Of the Treasury
now in New York. He points out, how
ever, that a few days later a Lima dis
patch announced that the Peruvian
government had reiterated its accusa-
tion and that President Leguia de-
clared the information published d
was confirmed by reports from other
sources" Sefior Pardo's statement
continues:
II Immediately applied to the De-
partment of Justice in Washington
for full investigation and for the
discovery of the author Of this in
trigue.
Il am now in position to state
that according to the official investi-
cation which has been made the news
regarding an expedition In Mexico,
supported by Bolivia and Chile, is alb
solutely false, that the report was
manufactured at Lima and transmitted
from Lima to this country, whence it
was sent back to Lima"
