Glacier Claims Noted Scientist
FAIRBANKS,   Alaska,   May 16 (/P) -- Two men of the Allen Carpe expedition, which hoped to obtain measurements of the cosmic ray, including Garpe himself, have lost their lives on the slopes of Mount McKinley, word received here today from members of the Leik-Lindley expedition said. 
The Leik-Lindley party found the body of Theodore Koven of New Jersey but reported Carpe's body had lodged in a crevasse. They were on their way down after the first successful ascent of the huge peak, the highest in North American, since the Archdeacon Stuck expedition 20 years ago, when they came upon the tragedy. 
Crawled From Hole.
Koven apparently had fallen into a crevasse, climbed out, but died from injuries and exposure. 
The Leik party tried to bring down Koven's body, but abandoned the attempt when Ranger Pearson fell 40 feet down the mountainside and was painfully injured. He was rescued with difficulty. 
A plane will be sent from here today to again land on treacherous Mulrow glacier to bring out E. P. Beckwith, a New York engineer, whom the party encountered farther fown the mountainside, and Koven's body. Beckwith was reported to be ill with a high fever. He, with Percy T. Olton Jr., and Nicholas Spadevecckia, also New York engineers, were flown to geh glacier by Pilot Joe Crosson on May 4 for cosmic ray study. They were landed on the icy surface of Muldrow glacier at about the 6000-foot mark of the 20,300-foot mountain.
