NH of iho most Important scl- rntlllc oxpcdltloiiH of the year will Hturt from Buattlo on May ivhon a party of ox- pcilenced mountain cllinbors nnd sclontlsta , headed by Prof. Her- Hchol C. Parker of Columbia unlvor- Hlly , will sot out for the Alaskan wll- dornOHa , whoru they will attempt to reach the ntimmtt of Mt. McKlnloy that dcflant , Ice-clad monster that has Imflled the efforts of Hciontlsts and ex plorers for the past decade. The expedition will bo conducted by the American Geographical society nnd the elaborate and novel arrange- linontB that have been made nhould ( Insure Its success. AH the experience coined In the many previous attempts ( to Bcalo this rugged peak has been .utilized In .planning . the forthcoming assault , nnd the men who will lend itho expedition' have had years of ox- iporlenco In the Alps and the Rockies. Prof. Parker , who will lead the par ty , has already scaled four of the most ( difficult peaks In the Canadian Hock- tics , besides having clambered up and flown the peako of the Alps for years , pn 1000 ho accompanied Dr. Cook on the lattcr's now famous expedition to Mt. McKlnloy and the experience gained on that expedition has proved Invaluable In outlining the details of the forthcoming trip. Ornvo doubts have always existed In Prof. Parker's mind ns to the truth of Cook's claim to having reached the summit , nnd ho Intends to satisfy himself In regard to the matter on this trip. One of Prof. Parker's chief lieuten ants will bo Itellmoro Browne , the artist , who was a member of the Par- leer-Cook expedition , and who In 'also an export mountain climber. J. II , Kunz of Stevens Institute , II. L. Tucker of the Appalachian club of Boston , and Waldemar Qrassl of Co lumbia , are others promlugnt of the pnrty. One of the principal features of the forthcoming trip will bo the uoe of the motor boat an a means of transporta tion. Pack horses will be tabooed as past experience has taught that they nro a hindrance and the party will make their way through tile 1GO miles of wilderness to within striking dis tance of the base of the mountain , by means , of u specially constructed mo tor boat. In the Cook expedition of 190G , a motor boat was used , but the party reached the headwaters of the river too late In the seasqn to attempt to climb the mountain. After they had returned to their camp , however , Cook sot out In company with two guides , and returned with a tale that ho had reached the top. In outlining Ills plans for the forthcoming expedition to a representative of the Interna tional NOWB Service , Prof. Parker said : I "Tho main party will leave Seattle about May 1 , and proceed direct to Cook's inlet , The easiest way to roach the base of the mountain Is from the south , nnd as soon as wo reach the head of Cook's Inlet , wo shall embark in ti motor boat and sail up the Su- shltna river to the Chulltna , and then up the latter stream as far as It Is navigable. Several large glaciers ( low from Mt. McKlnloy toward the Chulltna , and the members of the par ty will load the supplies on their backs nnd make their way across the glaciers to a \favorablo \ spot where a base camp can bo established. From the base camp wo Intend to devote ourselves to a complete nnd exhaustive study of the mountain sys tem , that forms the southern base of Mt McKlnloy , and settle once for all the question as to whether the sum mit can bo reached via the southern olopo. "In our expedition of 1000 , this route held out the greatest promise of suc cess , but wo'first attempted to reach the base of the mountain from the \sost nnd failed. ' Then by the time wo had reached the base from the south It was too late In the season to pro ceed. From that point , however , the approach to the mountain looked Im penetrable , but the east and north west slopes hold out more hope. "If-on our forthcoming trip , we fall to discover n cllmbablo ridge , It will bo necessary In future attempts In or der to conquer this great peak , to nrnko a wlntor campaign , nnd reach the base of the mountain by a dog sleigh over the snow. " " "Slnco the year" 1895 , when W. A. Dickey , a prospector , first sighted this snow-capped peak , scientists and ex plorers have been untiring in their of- .torts to reach the summit In order to idotermlno Its correct height , which is 'estimated ' at 20,300 feet above the sea loyel , Tbo peculiar topographical con- dlltbn of the surrounding country , however , have caused the failure of the majority of these. The mountain IH located in the center of the Alaska wilderness , and exploring parties , de siring to icuch the base are compelled to travel at least 1GO miles through an almost Impassable country , undergo ing nil sorts of hardships and many dangers In crossing the swollen streams , and scaling the Ice-clad slopes of the neighboring heights. Uy the lime the party reaches the base of the mountain , Iho members nro worn out , their supplies are depleted and they arc unable to begin the inoro for midable task of climbing n slope , which Is one mass of Ice , from a dis tance of 14,000 feet. By using the mo tor boat the Parker expedition will eliminate Iho hardships Incident to reaching the base of the mountains , nnd will thus bo In excellent condition to begin the ascent. CALLED FOR QUICK ACTION Incident In the Philippines Is Recalled by the Death of Rear Ad miral Dyer. "Tho death of Rear Admiral Dyer robbed the navy of one of the finest olllcers that ever walked a deck , " said an army man who saw service In the Philippines. "Dyer , who was second In command under Dewey at Manila bay , had a record as a fighter. Ho was never known to miss a chance of getting Into a rcrnp. Late In 189S , Dyer , In command of the cruiser Baltimore , with one or two gunboats , convoyed from Manila down In the town Hello , on the Island of Panny , n considerable force of troops on transports. It was the expectation that Hello would be seized , but the Filipinos prepared to resist nnd , aa hostilities had not begun - gun with thorn , wo refrained from making an attauk. "Tho vessels lay In the channel off Hello for weeks. That troublesome Gorman cruiser , the Irene , which Dewey chased out of Sublg bay , put In an appearance. The naval odlcofs wore sere at the Germans for their attitude at Manila , and would have liked nothing bettor than a good excuse - cuso for war. It was felt In the navy and army alike that the Germans were helping the Filipinos. "One morning early , several small boats pulled away from the Irene. It could bo seen they contained machine guns. Ostensibly , the crows wore goIng - Ing out for target practice , but they headed for the mouth of a river that' led back to Hollo. It was only a few minutes until a launch loft the Balti more , hurried to the Irene , an Amer ican officer went aboard , and pres ently the Irene's boats were signaled back and the machine guns hoisted up over the sldo. "Just what happened I do not know ; but every one who saw It believed Dyer had called a sharp halt on what was a covert attempt to turn machlno guns over to the Filipinos. Nor did any one doubt that ho was ready to back up his word with the guns of the Baltimore. That Irene gave no more trouble In that region. Nor were there any more attempts to hold target prac tice.

" Missouri Physician Favors Poi soning the Incurable Insane. Dr. David O , Hudson Suggests Use of Prusslc Acid Defends His Posi tion and Explains His Plan. Montgomery City , Mo. Dr. David 0. Hudson , member of the State Med ical association , Montgomery school board , \Vollsvlllo pension examining board and former county physician , who lias Jarred Iho medical world by advocating a doctrine of extermina ting all Idiots , helplessly Insane and Incurables In the almhotisos and poorhouses - houses throughout the country , has In a reply to his critics , stated his posi tion more fully. He says that "If a crime Is commit ted In practicing his doctrine of mercy , It will bo on the part of the hale nnd hearty doctor , who gives the mercy tablets that would bo such a blessing to the terribly allllcted and incurable. " Ho also points out the fact that "all pcoplo say , after the death of a hopeless case , that ho or she , as the case may bo , Is so much bettor off , but very few have the back bone to liolp the holplcss into the blessed state of 'Paradise Gained. ' " 1 have repeatedly stated and I want It distinctly understood , " Dr. Hudson says , "this now doctrine to exterminate the idiots , Incurable and hopeless , who are In tholr last stages , la not advanced nlmply to rid the state and society of its burden , but as a means of mercy to the allllcted themselves. "In answer to the many letters and criticisms received , some uncompli mentary , others laudatory , of my Idea of the treatment of Idiots ami those bereft of all human Instinct and rea son and confined in the county poor farms and asylums of this country , I would say that -I see nothing wrong In relieving this awful state of a liv ing hell to ono of eternal ecstacy. Could some of the doctors , editors and others who condemn my position BO severely see some of the sights I liavo seen , it might change their Idons. To mo there is ono thing certain , the counties and states should look more .lumanoly after this unfortunate class , or their suffering should bo relieved is I have suggested. "I do not go as far as Osier does In condemning to death the aged , but I BOO no reason why this class , after bo- Dr. David O. Hudson. Ing passed upon by a properly con stituted lawful commission , should not mercifully bo pift to sleep forever. The class I refer to are not human , but Idiots or these bereft of all human in stinct , mere animals. I would not do this for mercenary purposes or to relieve lievo society of Its responsibility , but purely as a mercy to this class of sufferers. Heroin Is the difference be tween civilization nnd unclvlllzatlon. "Thoso who hold up their bauds In horror at these Ideas must believe as Ingcrsoll , that beyond the grave the hottontot in his ignorance knows as much about the future as the most tmcredly robed priest or preacher. 1 claim to bo merciful and would not glvo unnecessary pain to anything ; ithnt Is why I want to relieve this class of patients. "I am perfectly willing to bear the condemnation of nil these who see fit to condemn , since I know It Is Imprac ticable under the present law and so cial conditions for my Ideas to bo car ried out , If I have aroused In the guardians of this class of patients a greater sense of tholr duties and caused these patients to get bettor care and moro humane treatment. " Dr. Hudson was asked how he would legally exterminate these people so they wouldn't suffer In promotion from earth to glory as ho called It , "I would administer a dose of prussic - sic acid , the most powerful and deadly poison known , and I think the easiest way to put a person out of this world. I think It Is moro merciful and quicker than either strychnine or morphine. Prusslc acid will kill In from three to Ilvo minutes. You recall that Col. Swopo of Kansas City , who Is alleged to have died from the effect of strych nine , lived from eight to ten hours nnd died of spasms or convulsions. When the vicious nnd unmanageable elephant was put to death recently a big dose of cyanide pf potash , which acts in the same way as prusslc acid , was given him , nnd it killed him In about flvo minutes. It will kill n man as quick or quicker than an elephant. Persons after taking it can hardly move from their position until the drug has taken effect nnd they are passing from the world forever.
