PARKER IS SUED
FOR DIVORCE
According to a dispatch from Now
York, in a recent issue ot the Seattle
Post-Intelligence Prof. Hersclml C.
Parker, who in public life is noted the
world over as a scientist, explorer,
conqueror of the supposedly inaccess
ible peaks of Mount McKinley and in
ventor of mine detectors and other un
dersea devices, as well as a collector
of rare jewels and antiques, is not a
pood husband and father in private
life, according to the charges made
against him, in the supreme court 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 her
self and their two children.
The wife’s attorney, Emil E. Fuchs
i Justice Lazansky to pass on the
application immediately, expressing
the boli, f that Prof. Parker intends
to leave for Alaska shortly and that
he will then be beyond the jurisdic
tion of the courts of this state. Prof.
Pa-ker's attorney told Justice Lazan
;!*v that his client is anxious for a
reconciliation, and for that icason he
wanted the matter put over for a few
days. In her affidavit Mrs. Parker
all- ged it was dangerous to live with
him because of his habits. Justice
Lnxansk.v adjourned the motion. Mrs
Prrkcr, when questioned, said she
would go back to her husband if he
would abandon bis old habits. If the
attempt at roconcilation fails, Prof.
Parker will file, it was stated, em
•di: tic denials of bus wife's charges.
Among the bad habits of the pro
fessor , if the wifes’ charges are true,
is the excessive use of alcholic bev
erages. She charges that he absented
himself from horn? for long periods
iind left her and their two children
to shuffle along on an allowance of
$."♦,000 a year, while he lived at clubs
in Manhattan that are noted chiefly
for their high rates. And, despite the
fart 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 re
cently to his friend, Bel more Brown,
according to the papers.
During his most recent stay at
homo Dr. Parker, it is charged , in
dulged 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 outburst he would suddenly leave
home and remain away for a month
or so.
Mrs. Parker is the daughter of

CHICAGO, Oct., 3— Kerr’s pheno
menal pitching won today’s game for
the Chicago White Sox. Kerr kept the
Cincinnati Reds down to three scatt
ered hits. The Reds never were in \
dangerous position as far as the re
| sul* of the game was concerned.
Fisher pitched a fair game for the j
Reds hut his fielding was poor, one of
his errors helping the Sox at an ex- ;
treroely critical time.
The crowd was one of the most
| noisy every assembled perhaps in
Chi'ago at a ball game.
The short score was as follows:—
CHICAGO— 3 runs, 7hits, 0 errors.
Cincinnati— No runs, 3 hits, l error.
Chicago made two runs in the sec
ond inning and one run in the third in
ing.
The fans started into the park at
midnight with Cincinnati being the
favorite in the betting, eight to five,
and plenty of Cincinnati money in
sight but little Chicago money.
