jiTf- ft i' f' ••& SCOTT SAID TO HAVE REACHED THE SOOTH POLE Captain Roald Amudsen, Norwegian Explorer, De clares British Expedition Has Been Successful. SPECTACULAR RACE BROUGHT TO CLOSE Five Countries Had Repre sentatives in Dash to Fro zen South No Direct Word From Scott. Wellington, New Zealand, March 7.—Captain Amudsen Joins Race. Captain Scott took the route by way of Australia and New Zealand. He sailed due south into Ross sea, a great stretch of water reaching toward the south pole. His chief competitor in this dash was Captain Roald' Amud sen, who is commissioned by the klug of Norway and the Norwegian gov ernment. Amudsen chose the route by way' of South America as against Scott and three other who went by the Aus tralian route. Amudsen left Buenos Ayers on board the steamer Fram to ward the close of 1910. He passed through the straight) of Magellen and then steered for Ross sea, the same sheet of water which Scoot had gained by the way of New Zealand and the Austrian route. Captain Scott planned to follow the same land trail that Shackelton had taken. This is along the mountain range,thought to be an extension of the Andes range running southward through South America. At the fur ther-most point of Ross sea Captain Scott debarked his party from his ship, the Terra Nova. Immediately at this point of debarkation stands out the great volcano Mount Erebus from which arises constantly a great col umn of steam. It is one of the dreaded localities of the Antarctic, to which navigators have given the name of Terror bay, for here Nordenskiold's ship, the Antarctic, was crushed in the ice. Back of this bay the steam wrapped volcano stands out like a sentinel against the ie.e covered I •It mountain range stretching south ward. Scott's Plans for Dash. Captain Scott made his first winter quarters on the slope of the mountains and there remained until November, 1911. It was then that his dash began, His plan was to cover the remaining distance by the end of December and then immediately about face and make the dash back again. Besides his equipment of food he had placed reli ance on a score of ponies, with twen ty-nine dogs and one motor sled. He designed to use this sled in making rapid progress over the comparatively level stretches of the foot hills. Due allowance was mad^ for the death of ponies and dogs, the steady depletion of stores and the loss of vitality of the party making up the expedition. Captain Amudsen had no ponies and no motor sledges, his experience led him to place all his reliance on Siber ian dogs. Three Other Competitors. The three other competitors in the race were Lieut. William Filchner of the general staff of the German arm^ *'-]"rW?°?S£^rr*'t::• v! :v •, Roald Amudsen, the Norwegian explorer, stated today that Captain Scott, the British ex plorer, reached the south pole. London, March 7—The first message with the definite state ment from Amudsen that Scott had reached the south pole was re ceived from Wellington, N. Z., by tlie Daily Express. London, March 7.— It is stated on good authority, acoording^to a special dispatch received here'this evening from Christiana, Norway, that Captain Roald Amudsen, the Norweigian explored and leading rival of Captain Scott did not reach the south pole. Copenhagen, March 7—The Social Demokraten publishes a dispatch from Christiana saying that a private individual in that city ha$ received a telegram from the Fram expedition stating that Amundsen reached the south pole. The cable dispatches from New Zealand announcing that Captain Scott had found the south pole came as a startling climax to the race which five explorers of different nationali ties have been making to reach this last extremity of the undiscovered portion of the globe. Captain Robert Falcon Scott start ed on his expedition from Port Chal mers, Nfew Zealand, on November 29, 1910. He was well equipped for this dash for the farthest south, having made a previous expedition under the direction of the Royal Geographical society. At that time he attained a record of 82 degrees 30 minutes, which remained the record up to the lime of Lieut. Shackel ton's notable exploit. Shackelton pushed farther south and in 1907 reached 88 degrees 23 min utes ,or about one hundred miles from the south pole. This remained the rec ord and inspired the hardy navigators of many nations to attempt tbe cul minating feat of reaching the pole itself. Roosevelt has lost ground since his Columbus speech. Prominent men he had counted on as his strong sup porters have confessed that they can not follow such desperate leadership. In one week all the excitement has passed afld much of the Interest in the colonel's candidacy has subsided. And in that one week Colonel Roose-^ velt has dropped from his proud posi tion as the most distinguished private citizen in the republic to the level of the common political office hunter. He has voluntarily forfeited honor, peace and dignity—sacrificed them for more power, which he will never get. This .was the saddest week thus far in all the singular career of Theo dore Roosevelt. ELDON. Xi Ha. Lieut. Filchner followed largely the plans of Dr. Nanson and sailed on the steamer Deutschland on October 5 last. He 1s a daring explorer, hav ing been one of the first to reach Lhassa in Tibet and much confidence was felt in him by the geographical society of Berlin. The Japanese ex plorer followed the Shackelton route into Ross sea, but returned to Sidney, Australia in 1911, to repair damage done in Terror bay. His second start was not made until November last, so that he was rather behind in the race. Dr. Mawson, the Australian took his route from the harbor of Hobart, Tasmania, aboard the little ship Aur ora, and took the land route to the east of Ross sea. These five men and their parties were ought of sight of the world for many months, until the first rumor came yesterday with the confirmatory report that Amudsen had returned and has brought/the word that his leading opponent had reached the coveted goal. From a geographical and scientific standpoint the discovery of the south pole while a momentous event, has not the same features of importance and danger as relate to the north pole. The quest for the north pole has been through great fields of open water and floating ice, whereas the south pole is situated on land. Scores of naviga tors have perished in the quest for the north pole bpt relatively few in trying to reach the south pole. The problem has not been one of reaching the pole over floating ice but of pass' ing rapidly over the snow covered foot hills of the mountain range and terrifying glaciers. Peary 6fad to Hear News. Washington, D. C., March 7.—Rear Admiral Robert B. Peary, U. S. N., re tired, the arctic explorer and discover er of the North Pole, who has followed with considerable interest the move ments of the several expeditions now in the anarctic today said he was very glad to hear that Captain Scott of the British expedition, was the first man to succeed In reaching the pole. Ad miral Peary said he might say more when he heard the details of Captain Scott's successful exploration. SAD WE FOR ROOSEVELT. Kansas City Journal.—One week after Theodore Roosevelt announced his candidacy for a third term, his managers paused to take stock of the situation. Colonel Roosevelt in an in terview given Sunday, seemed some what dispirited. Contrary to his usual buoyant attitude he was manifestly less confident of success than when he made his announcement the week be fore. He .still maintained that he was the choice of the people in a "popular vote," but hinted that because Presi dent Taft had the "machinery" the outlook was uncertain. It can hardly be denied even by Roosevelt's warmest friends that his spectacular announcement fell flat. Although every preparation had been made to give it the most attractive stage setting and for weeks his friends had carefully worked things up to the grand climax, the announce ment had been discounted and creat ed no sensation. The nation did not burst into flame and President Taft did not suffer from palpitation of the heart. In fact, the long-waited-for announcement created no excitement whatever and even the newspapers aligned against the president were unable to arouse themselves to any degree of enthusiasm. The week that has passed was con secrated to Rooseveltism. It had been predicted that the colonel's announcement would reach its maximum effect at that time. But at the end of the week even Roose velt himself was depressed by the reaction. He had been confident that the "people" had "called" to him as the logical leader in a great national crisis. But after the first day he saw that what had appeared to be a "spontaneous demand" was in reality only the activity of a coterie of busy politicians who had given him the impression that they were represent atives of a tremendous popular up rising. Every Roosevelt tnan^ of prominence in the country .went to Oyster Bay or the Outlook office and "jollied" the colonel. He was told marvelous tales of "straw votes" and of the great cause of humanity thaj, was calling him to lead.

At 'torney John S. Miller presented a ver bal motion asking Judge Carpenter to take the case from the jury and dis charge the packers, declaring that the government had failed to prove the charges contained in the indictment. "Every criminal case is made up of a number of essential facts, two of which are so essential that if the prosecution fails to prove them, the entir.e case falls," said Attorney Mil ler. "First in importance is the ques tion whether an offense has been com mitted. The next question is whether in the event of an offense being com mitted, has it been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

GRACE SHOOTING CASE MISTERY CUSES WIFE, WHO PROTESTS. INNOCENCE. Atlanta Ga. March 7.—Notwithstand ing night reports that Eugene H. Grace the wealthy builder, found Tuesday afternoon with a bullet in his side, had no chance to live, his condition was im proved this morning according to the hospital physicians. His wife is out on bond charged with assault and in tent to kill. He has made no state ment' since his first sensational decla ration involving Mrs. Grace. She con. tends she did not shoot him. According to the police, little of the mystery has been cleared. Among puzzling features is the fact that no one, so far as is known, heard a shot fired. Grace says he discovered his wound when he awoke, that he was shot while asleep or under the influ ence of opiates. No indication that he was has been found so far as the po lice will say. Grace recently insured his life for $25,000 in favor of his wife. Persons advancing any theory connecting this with the shooting are met with reports that Mrs. Grace is possessed of a com fortable fortune in Philadelphia where she came from. Mrs. Grace conversation with her husband early in the morning of the day he was found adds to complica tions. A servant declares Mrs. Grace remarked as her husband groaned, "you are not sick you're sleepy."
