PROOF OF COOK'S FAILURE Professor Parker Has Picture of Alleged Mount McKinley. Professor Herschel C. Parker, of Co- I bis university, who recently returned « m his exploration of Mount McKlniey, r h'bited yesterday a series of photo eS h taken near the Alaskan mountain. which he save Is indisputable evidence that Dr Frederick A. Cook never reached the top of the highest peak In America. Professor Parker says he found the mountain P-ak which Dr. Cook photo srraphe.l and called Mount McKinley, the "Top of the Continent," and in support of hi. statement showed a pbotograpli of a mountain peak taken by his expedition last summer. He pointed out that ■ compari son of the two photographs shows in de tail identical outlines of rock formation, proving that they were pictures of the same mountain. "The mountain which I photographed," paid Professor Parker, "was twenty miles away from Mount McKinley and fifteen thousand feet below Its summit. This is the same i>eak that f *ook photographed and ailed the "Top of the Continent." Professor Parker corroborates the con fession made a year ago by Edward Bar rill, suide of Dr. Cook, that they never reached the top of Mount McKinley. "On account of the formation of the snow cornice It was* impossible to photo praph the rock from the exact spot where Di Cook himself stood. These cornices are shaped according to the whims of the winds that blow, and the formation varies from year to year. It will al?o bi noted that there Is more snow in the photograph I took. This la due to the fact that I was there in July, while f>r. < "ook's photograph •was taken in September. "While T regret that we were unable to set to the top. still we had accomplished the object of my mission, and felt well satisfied with the result of the expedition."
