PHOTO- Professor Parker and Belmore Browne Home From Mount McKinley. SUMMIT WITHIN 300 FEET Brooklyn and Taroma Men Tell How High Altitude Affected Diction. Storms Iiage at High Camp. 20 Below Zero. SEATTLE. Aug. 2S. Professor Her schel Parker, of Brooklyn N. Y., and Belmore Browne, of Taeoma. wjio came within 300 feet of reaching the summit nf Mount McKinley last June, returned from Alaska tonight. Professor Parker was greeted at the pier by Mrs. Parker, a bride of a little more than a year, who had come all the way from .Brooklyn to meet him, and he hastened to Tacoma on the first In terurban car to see for the first time his only child, a baby of a few months. born during his absence in Alaska. Professor Parker and Mr. Browne left Seward February 2, reaching the foot of Mount McKinley April 25. On .their previous expedition they attempt ed to ascend the mountain from the south side, but this time crossed the Alaska range about 20 miles east of Mount McKinley. They went up Muld. row Glacier, taking the route selected by Tom Lloyd and his party of ex plorers when they ascended the moun tain in 110. Storm Ragea at 10,000 Fret. At an altitude of 10.000 feet the Parker-Browne party relayed their supplies with dog teams from the camp below. After remaining a this altitude several days and unable to proceed hither on account of a severe storm. incy decided to await more favorable 4 conditions and dropped back to an al- titude of 6000 feet. They set out again June 3. going up the northwest ridge and Muldrow Gla cier. The route selected was narrow and hazardous and the ridge steep, but the explorers were able to reach an altitude of 11.000 feet before being drlv. en back by the severe cold and blind ing snow, which was blown by a high gale from peak to peak. oa Only 300 Pert Away. On the third attempt an altitude of 20.100 feet was reached, where, with only three days' provisions left, they were unable to withstand the terrible cold and snow and gave up their hope of reaching the summit. Professor Parker, in explaining the severe cold on the mountain, said that at a height of 15.000 feet on June 27 it was 19 degrees below zero. At a height of 20.100 feet the worst of the climbing was over, but the severe cold and the blinding snow drove them bark and compelled them to abandon their attempts to climb the remaining 300 Xeet. Altitude Affects Food. "I found that the pemmiran. the spe cial food used by Arctic explorers and made of beef tallow and raisins, is of no value at the high altitudes." said Professor Parker. "We were soon af flicted with severe cases of Indigestion as the food was too heavy and we were unable to use a large part of our rations. I found that at an altitude of 13.000 feet I could not smoke without experiencing severe dizziness, while Mr. Browne seemed to be able to smoke at any height. About the coldest weather we . experienced was at an altitude of 13,000 feet, when the temperature fell to 2fi degrees below zero.-' Both Professor Parker and Mr. Browne said they had made their last I """"" E?l ji Q) -Ha-V- A r c t' fV-ilr'-t I i ' f ! :: t ? 4 . i :: Mfil ' ' K) - r Vth'xF i - i i :: 1"irrs5- I " """" " 1 1 i :: I " I J!

Treaty Would Have Prevented War. To friends tonight Mr. Taft said that K the Senate had agreed to the pro posed treaty with Nicaragua, which he advocated on his long trip last Fall, the misery existing today would not have arisen. LTnder that treaty the United States, he said, would have ad ministered the customs of Nicaragua and since the customs are about the country's only source of revenue, there would have been little to attract a revolutionist, who would not care to attack the United States.

Philadelphlan Alio Presents Model Says Common Law Unions Will Be Disavowed Uniform Sys tem of Pleading Urged. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 28. Severe criti cism of those who question the ade quacy of the Federal Constitution and of "those who seek to replace it with policies dictated by passing whims ana fleeting emotions,-" was made by United States Senator Sutherland, of Utah, in an address before the American Bar Association tonight. Maintaining that the chief value of the Constitution "is in its operation to prevent ill-considered and impulsive action," Senator Sutherland denounced the plan for recall of Judicial decisions which he said in effect would be "to render a Judicial decision by a show of bands at the polls. ' People's Wisdom Doubted. "It is becoming unfashionable to speak well of the Constitution," de clared Senator Sutherland. It is no longer 'respectable to profess the an cient faith in the learning and integrity of the courts. The good faith of fhe people themselves In seeking these rad ical changes Is not to be questioned but we may justly doubt their wisdom In having lent a too ready ear to the professional demagogue, whose strident voice has filled the land with his ill- considered and impracticable theories. More Pay for Judges Tabled. A motion to urge President Taft and Congress to increase the salaries of Federal judges provoked heated debate. The motion was tabled. A committee was appointed to a?k Congress .

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. Half the retail butchers of San Francisco say they axe on the verge of bankruptcy. "We are being ground to nothing be tween two pressures," said A. Shapiro, president of the Retail Butchers Asso elation, today. "On the one hand, we can get no quarter from the wholesal ers; they are thoroughly organized and the price of one is the price of another. On the other hand, we can't charge the consumer much more, because if we do he will have to stop buying meat. Al most half of our members are prac tically put out of business now gone broke. We have decided that the only rem edy is for us to organize throughout the state and try to get representation in Congress. Then, perhaps, we might obtain a reduction in the tariff, per mitting us to import meat." Restaurant keepers have received no tice from wholesale dealers that on September 1 the price of choice cuts will be advanced i cents a pound. One well-known restaurant keeper estimated today that- the increase meant a difference of 1000 a month In his profits. He feels that he has reached a point where his customers will pay no more.
