COOK GLAD THEY'RE GOING Aalirl Curtis Saj May Is Time for j .W-ont Cmk Says Finding of j Keeonls Can't Be Avoided' if His ICoiilc Is Taken. SEATTLE. Wh.. Oct. 1. Steps are being taken In this city to organize a party of amateur mountaineers to cllmD Mount McKinley. Alaska, the tallest peak in North Anvrlra. While there are no professional guides in the Pacific North west, hundr.-ds of men and women have climbed the volcanoes of the Northwest, including Mount Katnler, the second loft iest summit in the I'nited States, the enormous ice fields of which give oppoi tunlty for test of nerve. Among the mountaineers there is a disposition not to express an opinion on the disputed as cent by Dr. Took, there being- a friendly feeling toward him. Asahel Curtis, re puted to be the most expert climber In the Northwest, raid today: "The ascent of Mount McKinley ia quite feasible, if undertaken by a properly equippd expedition. There must be at least five men. all experienced. The route of Dr. Cook is best by steamer to Tyonek, on Cook Inlet, then up the Susitna River ' In a power boat.. The Jce field on Moun I tain Rainier brpin at feet, on Mount ' McKinley at 2K feet. The ascent to the summit of Mount Rainier from the camp above timber-line is marie In a day; on i Mount McKinley the party must sleep 1 night after night on the ice end must ' carry all Its supplies. There w ill be much lifeline work on Mount McKinley. and a party smaller than five picked men ' would take a tremendous risk of the fall 1 of one 'iran carrying down the whole party. "The party should start from Seattle : late in April or early in May. Its pro-. : gresv would dejieiui on whether it encoun r tered fogs and storms or good weather. An early siart is necessary to take ad I vantage of the hard- snow of Spring and avoid the ioe of Summer. No inexpe rienced man should think of taking part ; in the accent. "Swiss guides have failed on the Pa cific mountains. They are bewildered when they come to the ice. They ask: ' 'Where i the traiir The Alps are ex plored thoroughly, but the Coast moun tains are unmapped." PEARY'S NEGRO ON PI.ATFOUM Servant Tells of His Experiences on ' Polar Hunt. NEW YORK.

Cook, when Informed of the plans for an expedition from Seattle for the ascension , of Mount McKinley. i "If the expedition follows my route and !' reaches the southwest peak, it cannot i well avoid finding my records. That ( would have an important bearing upon j the controversy surely. I think 1 know ! Mr. Curtis, who is quoted concerning the ; proposed expedition. I "I believe, however, that the attempt is intended to be made next Summer. Jt Is too .late for this year. The summit of the mountain could not be reached other than in a dirigible balloon. The Suchitna River would be froxen up." ; ( AS CONFIRM COOK'S STORY Captain of Crew of Danish Ship Lived Among Eskimos. TOLEDO. O., Oct. 18. Dr. Frederick A.

HEARST TALKS ON ISSUES (Continued From First Page ) cratic ticket. I ran for Governor of New York as much a foe of Tammany Hall as I had run for Mayor a foe of Tammany Hall the year before. "Why did not Judge Gaynor do as I did? Why . did not Judse Gaynor de nounce Murphy and McCarren? He had plenty of time to do it before McCarren got sick." Hearst's attack on Bannard tonight gives the campaign a new angle, for heretofore both have maintained what might be called a truce, in view of the act that both are attempting to defeat Tammany. Bannard In his speeches tonight said In part: "I am a candidate for Mayor because a good many people think the City Hall j needs a business man. I am a business j man with ten years or legal training some knowledge of how city bonds should be sold. The l-ue Is Tammany graft and waste." New Charge Against Ivins. William M.

Amory, ex-secretary of the Third-Avenue Railroad Company. Amory in an affi davit attacked him as representing Thorn, as F Rvan in bloekins traction investiga tions in New York. He declare (hat "Ivins was paid $20,000 by the commission for shielding Ryan in the public-service investigation. "I am convinced." he said, "that Mr. Ivins at tliat tjme had an understanding with Ryan or his representatives for the deliberate suppression of the facts." Ivins Says He's Ryan's Adversary. In reply. Ivlns issued a statement to night, in which he said: "1 am sorry for him (Colonel Amory). for he could not take such an oath if he were really responsible. As a matter of fact. I have not seen Mr. Ryan or any of h! associates for months except as I have met his counsel in cSurt as my adversary." Gaynor spoke today, with "personal lib erty, Hearst and police misrule'' as his principal topics. HUGHES KEEPS HANDS OFF (Governor Will Takc No Part in Mu nicipal Campaign. ALBANY. N. Y.. Oct. 18.

Before the parade thousands of persons filled the Seventh Regiment Armory and many thousands listened to exhorters in the street. ' The procession, led by a detachment of police, started on its journey about 10 o'clock. The route was well-guarded by police and when " the destination of the crusaders was reached, hundreds of po licemen were present to see that the orders against any ribald demonstration were enforced.

The ajidlence was an appre ciative. In fact, enthusiastic one. Mr. Russell, of Rusk?11 & Drew, Northwest representatives of Sam & Lee Shubert, announced from in front of the curtain after the third act that many notable productions may be. looked for at the new theater during the present season. He also gave assurance that the structure has been remodeled so as to meet all the city's building rnd fire requirements. But "within a few months,, he announced, a ne'w theater is to be constructed for the Shubert plays.'

Frank Smlthers May Keating Fanchon Campbell Mrs. Jack Wilton Elsie Scott Miss Hester Ganton. .Rtlth Tomltnson Stenographer Emilia Callaway Nurse .i '. Florence Glenn George Fawcett .John Ganton Opening: of the new Portland Theater, last night, was a matter of moment to theatergoers for one reason In particular it was made plain that a really notable class of productions Is to be given to Portland by the Shuberts. "The Great John Ganton," with George Fawcett In the title role, was the premier attraction and it was worthily selected. It proved a pleasant surprise, surpassing the expectations of those who had been prepared for something unusual. A re markable story is given an appreciable in terpretation by a capable company. It has to do with important phases of Ameri can commercial and social life. , It bristles with tense situations, stirring lines, strik ing situations, and "heart interest." to employ a sorely overworked phrase. And when, after playing with the feel ings of his audience as no one has done perhaps since Warfleld was last - here, George Fawcett admitted In response to his eighth curtain call that It was his first appearance in Portland,, those who were there felt they had been cheated of something in that fact. He has long been rated by many as the leading char acter actor of the American stage. That rating is acceptable to Portland. Fawcett, as the great John Ganton, Is remarkably cast. He gives to the role of the big hard-headed industrial giant an Interpretation that must be classed as a masterpiece of its kind. He gives life and substance to a type of American that very few actors might depict ade quately. Fawcett revealed an unlimited resource, an infinite capacity for detail, a thorough mastery of the art of making his audience feel. The story itself has to do with John Ganton. his co!Wge-bred son, that youth's supposedly undesirable fiancee, and the differences that naturally arise between father and son only to disappear when the old man becomes disillusioned. Side lights are thrown on Chicago society and certain important phases of the Chi cago business world. The elder Ganton has built up a big corporation by his hard-headed methods. The business has its tentacles In every part of the world and thrives under con ditions that wouldn't be confessed In open court. Ganton, following the meth ods "he says he must follow or go down in the struggle for survival, has wrecked his bueiness antagonist, who shoots himself, leaving behind a daughter. The daughter, of course, becomes en gaged to the younger Ganton; the head of the household brands her as an adven turess and awakens to find himself very much mistaken. The subduing of Gan ton's relentless energy by inevitable breakdown and the attendant falling away of the callouses that have grown about his nature, are subtly wrought Into a striking and stirring- climax. 44 guests of the occasion, a number PRISON FOR ANGRY DUN Convicted of I Abel in Sending Debtor a "Roast."

An at- tempt to cauee the escape of some of the men after they had been released on bail was frustrated by rearrest. An International aspect has been given the case through the activity of the French government, inasmuch as Laxier, one of the victims, was a French citizen.
