PARKER PARTY WILL
CLIMB MT.M'KINLEY
New York. April 13 Notwithstanding
the successful uttcent of Mount Mc
Klnley by the Lloyd expedition and
the anouncement yesterday of the fail
ure of that purty to find any trace of
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Prof. Hersehel
C. Parker, of Columbia University, to
day annouccd that h'is projected ex
pedition would be carried out. His
assistant, Dellemore Brown leaves for
Seattle next Thursday and Prof.
Parker follows on April 26.
I have not the slightest doubt that
the Lloyd party reached the summit,"
he declared today, "and I would like
to send them my congratulations. They
a re. a brave, hardy lot of men, and ab
solutely trustworthy. But the Ameri
can Geographical Society wishes the
highest mountain of North America ex
plored,' and we will do that work."
Prof. Parker and Mr. Brown were
with Dr. Cook In 1906 when the dis
credited Arctic explorer led an expedi
tlon'to Mount McKInley. He was one
of the first . to deny Cook's claim to
have reached the summit after the main
expedition had been abandoned and
Cook left with 'a single companion, to
explore streams. Prof Parker has de
clared that Cook's pictures, claimed 'to
have been taken from the topmost
peak were In reality taken at a height
of only 8.0A8 feet.
The route to be" followed, by the
Parker expedition Is that which the
Lloyd party took, which led to the dis
covery .of a pass which shortens the
way to the Interior of Alaska by 75
miles.
On May 1 the party will leave Seattle
for Scjdovla, On the south ' shore of
Cook Inlet, and from there proceed by
launch. Prof. Parker expects to reach
the summit in July and to be back in
civilization by September.
The mountain peak will be approach
ed first from the southwest and if that
falls. Cook's own trail, from the south
east, will be followed. '
Of course, the failure to discover the
brass tube Dr. Cooke claims to have
left there would not prove conclusively
the falsity of his claim," said Prof.
Parker today, "for In four years It
would very likely to be burled In ice."

ROME AGAIN EXCITED
Vatican Makes Statement At-
0 tacking Roosevelt
Accuses Mr. Roosevelt of Having
Hunted Royul Personages in Eu
rope Foes of Clerical Party" Seize
the Occasion for Denunciation of
the Church.
(By Cable to The Times.)
Rome, April 13 Rome is once
more excited over the relations be
tween Theodore Roosevelt and the
Vatican, and the sensation caused by
the first news of the breach between
them ,1s overtopped by that aroiu.ed
by the Vatican's latest statement at
tacking the former president.
The foes of tlie clerical party today
seized the occasion for scathing de
nunciation of the church and the visit
of Mr. Roosevelt to Italy promises to
prove one of the country's leading po
litical issues.
The text of the authorized state
ment from the Vatican today was
widely circulated and discussed. Its
condemnation of bbot Lawrence
Janssens of the Benedictines, secre
tary of the congregation of the affairs
of religious orders, is exceedingly
strong. It was he who left a card at
Mr. Roosevelt's apartment, having
failed to see the former president.
commending him for his attitude to
ward Catholics while in the white
house. ; '
Most ardent supporters of the mon
archy are incensed at the fling which,
they declare, tiie Vatican takes at
King Victor Emmanuel, as well as
other rulers who plan the entertain
ment .of Mr. Koosevelt in Europe, in
the statement by the Vatican that it
"did not wish Mr. Roosevelt to
bracltet the pope with other more or
less royal personal?? he will boast, of
Having hunted in Europe after his
African hunt."
The statement, first, however, cen
sured Father Janssens thus:
"The Holy Father has highly dis
approved of Father Janssens' initia
tive toward Mr. Roosevelt, as the act
of his evidently lends. itself, to an in
terpretation offensive to the Holy Fa
ther. Father Janssens acted through
his own Impulse, without any .au
thorization from anyone whatever."
The publication of the statement
has torn, the whole situation-' open
again' .when it was believed, that the
incident would be allowed to be for
gotten. Supporters and. enemies of
the church today rallied under their
respective colors. Bitter feeling is
shown in all references to the affair.
Speculation turned first to the
prospect of a sharp reply by Mr.
Roosevelt; but those who were closest
to him during his stay here while re
fusing bpenly to discuss the case, in-

I'hiee hundred prisoners; seventy-five
of whom-- are women, were saved
from being rousted in their cells In a
fire which gutted the big general jail
structure here today, only through
tne heroic exertions of keepers, po
licemen, firemen, and, finally, mem
bers of the New Haven Grays, the
city's crack national guard organiza
tion. Frenzied with fright, many of
the prisoners, particular in the wo

the blazing corridors to safety with
the greatest difficulty and during the
trips fifty of them are believed to
have escaped.
Falling timbers and flames injured
Fire Captain O'Nell and Firemen
Hussey and Wilcox. However, none
is believed to be fatally hurt.
Taree hundred, prisoners, seventy
five of then) women, : were panic
stricken today when the -county jail
here was threatened by flames which
completely destroyed a four story
brick building adjoining the jail.
The flames had swept through the
entire building before the firemen ar
rived and the prisoners screamd in
their cells and attempted to break the
bars.
Fearing that, in the confusion, a
jail delivery would be attempted, a
hurry call was sent throughout the
county for deputy sheriffs. A crowd
of more than 20,00.0, quickly gathered
and the jail keepers asked assistance
in preventing the escape of any of
the prisoners..
When the fire was discovered the
workshop of the jail was ,filled with
Inflammable materials, such as oil,
varnish and paint'1, and the dry wood
With which the upper floors were
stored aided the spread of the flames.
Explosion after explosion Occurred
as the fire reached the varnish and
paints and each one was the signal -for
a renewed outbreak among the
frenzied prisoners.
