Columbia Professor, Member of Party, Calls Story False. Portland, Me., Nov. SO.—Porfessor K. C. Parker of Columbia university brands Dr. Frederick A. Cook’s story of his ascent of Mount McKinley as false. Professor Parker says: "It is with profound regret that I feel obliged to impeach the manhood and honor of a personal friend. Dr. Frederick A. Cook never made the ascent of Mount McKinley as he has claimed. “My experience on that trip with Cook demonstrated that he knew nothing about, mountain climbing and had no scientific training. It was in the middle of August when we parted. His last words to me were that he simply wanted to hunt a little and look over some of the nearby glaciers. I came home and you may judge of my surprise when one month later he telegraphed that he had reached the summit of Mount McKinley. “In proof of his startling assertion ne offered nothing whatever. The statement was an impossibility on its facV

SAY GRAND DUKE SLEW STEINHEIL

' AVER NEWS WAS SUPPRESSED v . -v Alfred Partridge Klota, American Artist, Returning From French Capital, Repeats Btory Which Has It That Russian Nobleman Was Found In Mme. Steinheil’s Apartments by Her Husband and, Being Asked to Explain, Shot Down Interrogator. New York, Nov. 30. —Alfred Partridge, an American artist who is re-, turning to America to paint a portrait of Cardinal Gibbons, arrived today on the Kroonland, from Antwerp and Dover and told a queer story about the murder of Mme. Steinheil’s hu&band, for which Mme. Steinheil was recently tried and acquitted. Klots said it was the talk of Paris when he left, but no paper had dared to publish it, that Steinheil was killed by the Grand Duke Alexis, a cousin of the Czar of Russia. Alexis, Klots said, committed suicide by shooting himself in a hotel, in Paris a few months ago. , Steinheil had returned unexpectedly to his house and had found the duHe there, the story goes. There was a fight and the duke killed * Steinheil. The mother of Mme. Steinheil, hearing the noise, ran into the room and was so startled by what she saw that she swallowed her false teeth and w&S choked to death. , Before the beginning of the trial of Mme. Steinheil, the duke was in Paris and it is said that a demand for a large sum of money was made of him, with the threat that if he did not comply it, he would be denounced as the slayer of Steinheil. On the night of the murder, according to Parisian gossip, an auto described as the one the duke frequently had used, was seen standing in front of the Steinheil home.
