i
EXPLORER IS
BEING SUED
FOR DIVORCE
According to a dispatch from New
York in a recent issue of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, Professor Herschel
C. Parker, who in public life is noted
the world over as a scientist, explorer,
conqueror of the supposedly inaccessi
ble peaks of Mount McKinley and in
ventor of mine detectors and other
underseas devices, as well as a col
lector of rare jewels and antiques, is
not a good husband and father in pri
vate life, according to the charges
made against him in the supreme court
i
by his wife, Mrs. Evelyn N. Parker of
21 Fort Greene place. She began a
suit for separation and alimony and
asked the court to award her $125 a
week, pending trial, for the support of
' herself and two children.
The wife’s attorney, Emil E. Fuchs,
asked Justice Lazansky to pass on the
application immediately, expressing
the belief that Professor Parker in
tended to leave for Alaska shortly and
that he would then be beyond the jur
isdiction of the courts of this state.
Professor Parker’s attorney told Jus
tice Lazansky that his client is anx
ious for a reconciliation, and for that
reason he wanted the matter put over
for a few days. In her affidavit Mrs.
Parker alleged that it was dangerous
to live with him because of his hab
its. Justice Lazansky adjourned the
motion.
Mrs. Parker when questioned said
she would go back to her husband if
he would abandon his old habits. If
the attempt at reconciliation fails
Professor Parker will file, it was stat
ed, emphatic denials of his wife’s
charges.
Among the bad habits of the pro
fessor, if the wife’s charges are true,
is the excessive use of alcoholic bev
erages. She ehargs that he absented
himself from home for long periods
and left her and their two children
to shuffle along on an allowance of
$5,000 a year, while he lived at clubs
in Manhattan that are noted chiefly
for cheir high rates. And despite the
fact that he provided so meagerly for
his family, Mrs. Parker swears he
spent $86,000 in the last five years for
rare jewels and antiques. Some of
these trophies he transferred recently
to his friend, Belmore Brown, accord
ing to the papers.
During his most recent stay at home
Dr. Parker, it is charged, indulged so
freely in liquor that he lost control
of his speech and his actions to such
an extent that he threatened his wife
and even suggested that she elope with
some rich man. After such an out
burst he would suddenly leave home
and remain away for a month or so.
Mrs. Parker is the daughter of
Charles Frederick Maegale, a portrait
painter. Her honeymoon, in 1911,
was spent with her husband in his sec
ond attempt to scale Mount McKinley.
The following year he reached the
summit. He returned with photo
graphs and data on which he based
his refutation of the story of Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, the explorer, who
claimed to have climbed the mountain.

WORKING FOR
NEW CABLE
FOR ALASKA
Alaska may have a new cable. Sen
ator Wesley L. Jones of Washington,
chairman of the senate committee on
commerce, has introduced a bill in
the senate providing for the construc
tion of a new cable to Alaska, and he
hopes to secure favorable action on
the measure by the committee in a
short time.
The following special dispatch from
Washington appeared in the Seattle
Times of recent date:
“Action on the Jones bill for the con
struction of a new cable from Seattle
to Alaska probably will be taken very
shortly by the senate committee on
commerce. Senator Jones of Wash
ington, who is chairman of the com
mittee, today appointed a sub-commit
tee to consider the measure, composed
of himself and Senators Fernald of
Maine, Edge of New Jersey, Chamber
lain of Oregon and Ramsdell of Lou
isiana.
“The bill provides for an initial ap
propriation of $200,000, with a limit
cost of $800,000. Prices have in
creased so much, however, that it is
estimated the cable can not be com
pleted for less than about three mil
lion dollars, and the committee prob
ably will increase the limit of cost.”
It’s the flavor and the grain which
make the bread at the City Bakery
famous.
