“Last Chapter of Heroes Never
Will Be Written,” Say
Two of Party.
WRIGHT AND DEBENHAM IN
U. S. ON THEIR WAY HOME
Bodies of Explorers Buried Linder
ice That Will Never
Melt, They Say.
SAX FRANCISCO, May IS.-Fresh
details of Captain Robert PA Scott’s
disastrous expedition to the South
Pole are being related by Charles S.
Wright and Frank DeBenham, both
scientists and graduates of Cam
bridge University, who have just ar
rived from Sydney on the Union
steamship Tahiti.
The two men were at Cape Evans
when the Scott expedition left for the
dash to the pole. 800 miles away, and
Wright was one of the party of elev
en which later discovered the body
of Captain Scol$.
Wright refused to talk of the har-
rowing scene which greeted the mem
bers of the searching expedition
when they located the bodies of Cap
tain Scott, Captain PL A. C. Oates and
Lieutenant PI. R. Bowers.
“The last chapter in the story of
Captain Scott and his heroic com
rades will never be written,” said
Wright. “Their death was too ter
rible for description. We do not in
tend to include any description of the
death scene in our official reports of
the expedition. It would serve no
purpose except to gratify a morbid
curiosity.
“We decided to bury them where
they died, because it would have been
practically impossible to carry the
bodies back to civilization. Besides,
there would not have been.any use in
bringing the bodies back to England.
“The men ha<j done their work well,
and they were dead. We folded the
tent which had served to protect them
to some extent from the rigors of
that terrible storm, and buried the
bodies under a pile of ice that will
never melt.
“We thought this action more fit
ting. V cross was erected overlook- j
ing the ice barrier, and we turned our
steps back to civilization.
“The place is accessible to another
expedition, should one be formed to
bring back the bodies of the explor
ers. but 1 doubt if any such expedi
tion will ever be sent out.”
Poor Old Dad Given
Recognition at Last
CHICAGO, May 18.—Dr. James
Russell Price of Chicago, told the
Illinois Electric Medical Society Con
trition that the father is just as im-
nort tnt in the evolution of the wel-
fari of the race as the mother.
"I am not saying anything here
regarding the mother’s influence,
said Dr. Price. "Mother’s office has
been magnified out of all proportion.
1 will bestow my admiration on the
madonnas at all times and in all
places.
“But many years of experience as
a public school teacher and physi
cian have convinced me beyond the
shadow of a doubt of the truth of the
old saying: ‘As the father, so the
child.’ ”
MULES DISPLACE FIRE
DEPARTMENT HORSES
SAUGUS. MASS., May 18.—Mules
ai e to-day taking the place of horses
in the Saugus Fire Department. Cap
tain Max Hatch, of Hose No. 2. gave
the mules a good tryout. He found
them rpeedy, instead of stubborn, j
Captain Hatch says that every time
the fire bells ring the mules prick
up their ears and are ready for the
stall doors to swing open.
FORREST ADAIR THANKS
HEARSTPAPERS FOR WORK
IN THE SHRINER VICTORY
I
By FORREST ADAIR.
HARDLY can find words in which to express my high appre
ciation of the good work done for Atlanta by Mr. Hearst
and the Hearst newspapers in the matter of bringing next year’s
meeting of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine to Atlanta.
Not only did Mr. Hearst give us the free and unlimited
support of The Atlanta Georgian and The Sunday American,
but every newspaper he owns in the United States was working
for the Gate City.
I REGARD IT AS SIGNIFICANT THAT IN EVERY
CITY, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IN WHICH MR. HEARST
HAS A NEV/SPAPER, THE DELEGATIONS ATTENDING
THE SHRINE MEETING IN DALLAS WERE FOR ATLAN
TA FIRST, LAST, AND ALL THE TIME.
I saw the effects of Mr. Hearst’s work, time and again, as
the fight progressed, and always it was hearty and effective in
Atlanta’s behalf.
The fine special Shriller edition of The Atlanta Sunday
American which Mr. Hearst sent to Dallas was read widely and
went far toward convincing the delegates that Atlanta is the
place to hold next year’s meeting.
And last of all, I thank The Georgian and Sunday Amer
ican for having a personal representative on the ground in
Dallas to keep the home folks informed promptly and fully
of the proceedings as they developed.
Atlanta won a magnificent victory, through the assembling
of numerous influences, and no one deserves more praise to-day
than does Mr. Hearst and his newspapers.
He and they have proven themselves to be Atlanta's loyal
and enthusiastic friends.
In this statement I am joined cordially by Mr. Hinds, Mr.
Foster and Mr. Hutcheson, the other members of the commit
tee from Yaarab Temple having in charge Atlanta's interests
in Dallas.

LONDON, May 18.—In discussing

“The opinion that the Japanese will
never go to war to enforce their

those dangerous generalities which
lead nations blindfold to the brink of

take to underestimate the chances of |
a conflict between the United States
and Japan. Should war break out •

violently on the side of the United

Spreads Rapidly,
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, May 18.—The Boy
cott against American merchants de
clared by leading society women of
Mexico City is spreading rapidly. At
a mass-meeting an anti-American
resolution was passed condemning the
American government for not recog
nizing the Huerta administration and
many persons pledged themselves to
join the boycott. Some stores dis
played signs to-day reading:
“Only Mexican and European goods
sold here.”
The press has taken up the boy
cott idea and is attempting to inflame
the populace against United States
goods.

A report was current here to-day
that Pascual Orozco, Jr., formerly one

“Economical” Democratic Ad
ministration Plans Distribution
of $300,000,000.
WASHINGTON, May 18.—The fat-
test “pork barrel" in the history of
the nation is being built the most
“economical” Democratic Administra
tion. It will hold $300,000,000 of
“fat” and will be distributed through
the medium of the new House Com
mittee on Public Roads. The money
will be distributed at the rate of $50,-
000,000 a year for six years.
In authorizing this committee, the
House “acceded” to the wishes of the
President, who originated such a com
mittee in the New Jersey Legisla
ture. but, to be sure, it had no such
fabulous amount at its disposal.
The plan of those behind the. move
ment for Federal assistance in the
building of roads contemplates the
issue of bonds for the entire anjount,
the proceeds to be parcelled out in
six equal instalments. Jonathan
Bourne. Jr., formerly Senator from
Oregon, is pushing the project.
Chairman Underwood, of the House
Committee on Committees, declares
this committee will be named ana
take charge of the many hills for
Load improvement now pending be
fore Congress. It wiH relieve the
House Committee on Post Offices, and
Post Roads.
With the organization of this
standing committee the Committees
on Public Buildings and on Rivers
and Harbors will no longer be the
premier “Pork ‘barrel’’ committees.
The Committee on Public Roads
will assume that distinction. The>
Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill
last year carried about $40,000,000 and
the Public Buildings bill about $30,-
000,000.
This new committee arrangement
defines the attitude of the Democratic
Administration and of the Democrats
in Congress. A fight was made
against battleship construction and
authorization during the last session.
But one battleship was authorized. It
will cost about $16,000,000.

WASHINGTON, May 18.—Further
communications regarding peonage
and “Russianism” in West Virginia
have reached Senator Kern.
Mother Jones, in describing the
brutality witnessed by her in West
Virginia, said:
“I saw a woman named Silvie. who
had been so terribly kicked by the
mine guards, when she was about to
become a mother, that her child was
born dead.
“I saw three married women and
one single girl of 17 years penned up
in the military bastile of the free
State of West Virginia while guards
inarched outside. These women were
in mortal terror. They were sub
jected to indignities that are almost
inconceivable in this free country.
“I saw women arid their babies—
thirty or more of them—driven out
of their miserable mine company
shacks at Marey. tfhjclf'go under The
title of homes, forced to sleep under
the sky in cold weather, until we,
the miners’ organizations, got tents
for them.
“I know of another case of a wom
an in the Sheltering Arms Hospital
at Holly Grove, beaten and bruised
by guards.
Brutality of Guards.
“Outside the bull pen, in which I
was until last week, I have seen
mothers calling piteously for their
husbands; I have seen children weep
ing in their mother}*’ arms, pleading
for a chance to speak with their fa
thers. But the guards turned a deaf
ear to all the entreaties and sent the
women away.
“Children are forced to go into the
coal pits as breakers. Their meager
wage is needed for the home.
“Big. strong men have come to me
I pleading for help. They .came by
•night, for they knew that the mine
guards would blackjack them in day-
• light.
“I have known of cases of boys
shanghaied for mine work. I have
seen the asylums fill because of the
terrible system that sapped soul and
body.
“I know that the authorities have
threatened to arrest two newspap-
men if they'came within the martial
law zone, but I do know that this
story is now going out tort he civilized
world, and that the pres? can not be
blocked by such methods.”
Women Shot in Fight.
W. R. Fairley, in outlining condi
tions, sad:
"I found only a few weeks ago in
the Paint Creek district the case of a
17-year-old girl. named Claypool,
forced by the guards to wade an ice-
cold stream rather than take a road
to the bridge a short distance away.
Her case is the subject of an affidavit
in the West Virginia State Commis
sion’s investigation.
“I saw another woman, whose feet
had been shot by the guards. She will
be a cripple for life. She was hidden
behind her own door In a back room.
Her husband, a miner in the Paint
(‘reek district, had hidden himself in
the cellar. Baldwin guards deliber
ately fired on the house. The bullet*
ricocheted through four rooms, struck
a Bible and a table and finally wound
ed the woman. Her husband’s offense
was nothing. Hers w?s the Lord
knows what.
"I know of still another ease w he**e
the guards in the Paint Creek distrb *
were beating a husband to death w h^n
the wife interfered. They turned on
her. She was in a delicate condition.
When her child was born it was dead.
Strangers Hurried Out.
“I know that for years the mine
guards have been stopping strangers
as they get off the trains throughout
the coal field districts. They asked
the visitor’s business, if he did n »t
answer,, or if the answ er was unsat
isfactory, he was told. ‘Get back in
the train.' or, if the train had mov »d
on. he was ordered to keep going
down the track and 'to be d—d sharp
about it.”
NEW YORK, May 18.—Harry Ken
dall Thaw was denounced as “a mur
derer without conscience or integ
rity” by Attorney Arthur Palmer to
day when he began summing up for

CAMBRIDGE, May 18.—Robert A.
Taft, son of the ex-President, made
his debut as an “old clothes" man at
Harvard when he canvassed the col-

tel, 6 Years Old,
Dies of ‘Old Age'
CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 18.—
Cleveland medical circles to-day was
deeply interested in the death of Dora
Grzybeck, a 6-year-old girl. who died
of “old age.”
The child’s hair was as white as
that of an aged person, her face
wrinkled and her whole appearance
that of a woman of 70 years.
The disease of which the child died
is known as Raynaud’s disease, and
is rare. The Coroner said he knew
of only one other such case during
his years of practice.

MALDEN, MASS., May 18.—To
dance or pray—that was the question
in Malden. It was up to the juniors
in the Malden High School to decide
which it should be, and they chose

The vote came as a result of a
protest made by Malden ministers
against the dances the juniors give
on Friday nights. These are prayei

The juniors decided the ministers
were eminently correct.

BERLIN. May 18.—With every
prominent hotel of Berlin crowd ?d
with diplomats, royalty, nobles and or
dinary visitors, and. the city and vi
cinity overflowing with secret agents
and secret police of about every coun
try in Europe, and still more to come,
everything is in readiness to-day for
the wedding this week of Princess
Victoria Luise, only daughter of the
Kaiser, to Prince Ernst August, son of
the Duke of Cumberland.
So crowded have conditions become
that the Kaiser was compelled ro
make reservationse at hotels for some
of his most distinguished royal guests.
The first and second floors of the
Hotel Adlon have been reserved for
his three sisters and Prince and Prin
cess Henry of Prussia, who, by the
way, celebrate on the day of the wed
ding their own silver anniversary, A
large part of the suite of King George
and Queen Mary of Great Britain will
also be quartered at the Hotel Adlon.
Every train into Berlin brings more
noted visitors and guests. In the re
markable flow of distinguished per
sons into tiiis city the arrival of mere
ordinary nobles has been completely
overlooked. One has to be a prince,
a grand duke, a duke or have royal
blood connections somewhere to even
attract attention.
Guards on Hand for Czar.
Mysterious strangers with Russian
accents drop off every train. They
are Russian secret police, here to pro
tect the Czar and Czarina. German
secret agents scrutinize all arrivals
for possible anarchists, nihilists or in
ternational thieves, for probably never
before has there been so great a gath
ering of royalty, peers and the just
plain wealthy.
Wedding gifts valued at millions of.
dollars have been arriving for some
time past, and these gifts are protect
ed as only are the members of a royal
household.
On every side there is a hustle and
bustle evidencing very plainly the
close approach of some signal event.
Many different languages are heard
upon the streets, and the least of
these is not English. Many Ameri
cans are here and, with lavish use of
money, have rented hotel suites the
equal in luxury of those reserved for
the royal guests.
The marriage of the Princess
Luise and Prince Ernst will be a
case of reconciliation of the Capulets
and Montagus, uniting once more
the House of Hohenzollern and the
Brunswick-Lunebourg branch of the
House of Guelph.
After many days of labor the prin
cess’ trousseau is at last in readi
ness. This bridal garment is most
gorgeous. No detail has been over
looked. It is said here that for
patriotic reasons the trousseau was
made in - this city, but it has been
learned that the design and much of
the lace came from Paris.
On Thursday next the celebration
of the wedding to last three days
Will commence with a gala opera
evening. On the following day a ban
quet of state will take place, and on
the day after that the ceremony will
be performed. The civil ceremony
will take place in the new Marble
Palace at Potsdam, but the religious
ceremony will be performed in this
city.
Attendants upon the princess will
be four of the most beautiful prin
cesses of Turope. They are Prin
cess Mary, daughter of King George
and Queen Mary, of Great Britain;
the Grand Duchess Olga, eldest
daughter of Czar Nicholas, of Russia;
Princess Yolanda, of Italy, and the
Princess Elizabeth, daughter of King
Charles, of Roumania.
Prince of English House.
The full name of the princess is
Victoria Luise Mathilda Charlotte
Hohenzollern, Princess of Prussia.
The prince's full name is Ernst Au
gust Christian eGorge, of the Bruns
wick-Lunebourg branch of the House
of Guelph. H.- is a prince of Great
Britain and Ireland and entitled to a
seat in the British House of Lords,
and is anephew of the Queen Mother,
Alexandra, of England.
The Duke of Cumberland was re
moved from the throne of Hanover
when that state became a part of
Prussia. Since the Duke of Cumber
land insisted upon his right to that
throne despite the fact that he had
been deposed, Prussia refused to per
mit him or his heirs to mount the
throne of the Duchy of Brunswick, to
which throne he was al^o entitled. It
was because of this that the houses
of Cumberland and Hohenzollern
were estranged, for the Duke of Cum
berland swore at his dying father's
bedside that he could never become
leconciled with the reigning family of
Prussia, and Emperor William of
Germany is also King of Prussia. But
now all of that has been settled and

Solicitor Genera! Dorsey Declares
Work of His Greatest Detective
Has Been Completed.
WELCOMES AID OF BURNS
IN CLEARING UP MYSTERY
Handwriting Expert at Work on
Clews Furnished by Notes
Found in Pencil Factory.
Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey said to
day that his “greatest detective in
America” would not figure again in the
Phagan investigation, and that it was
extremely doubtful whether he would
be recalled to testify at the trial.
“He has finished his investigation,”
said the Solicitor, “and we have no
further need for him. A detective is
one thing and a witness is another.
His investigation led us to witnesses.
It is not necessary for him, or any
detective, to tell yie jury what a dis
interested witness will tell.”
He would not say, however, wheth
er his decision not to put the “great
est in America” on the witness stand
would apply^to the city, Pinkerton
and Burns detectives.
Grand Jury Me^ts Wednesday.
The Solicitor announced that the
Grand Jury would meet next Wed
nesday for an extra session, but said
it was hardly probable the Phagan
case would be considered then. He
said there were a number of cases
that demanded attention and the ex
tra session would more than likely
he called to dispose of everything on
the calendar to prepare for the ses
sion Friday, when the Phagan case
would more than likely be presented.
Mr. Dorsey said that his interview
of Friday, in which he said the Burns
men would work under the same con
ditions as the Pinkertons, had been
misconstrued by some to mean that
the services of the great detective
were not needed.
Welcomes Burns’ Aid.
He said that he did not intend to
create that impression, when as a
matter of fact he would welcome Mr.
Burns in the case and give him every
co-operation, except giving out infor
mation or evidence that had already
been secured. He will continue to ex
amine witnesses up to the day the
case goes to the Grand Judy, he said.
Bernard L. Chappell, attorney for
the negro. Newt Lee, said Saturday
morning that unless the Grand Jury
acted on the Phagan case next week
he would bring habeas corpus pro
ceedings in an effort to secure his re
lease.
Pursue Writing Clews.
With powerful miscroscopes, mag
nifying glasses and a series of reflect
ing mirrors Solicitor General Hugh
M. Dorsey and the city detectives, as
sisted by a handwriting expert, who
is said to be one of the best in the
country, are minutely examining the
“handwriting clews” in the Phagan
mystery.. They confidently expect im
portant developments.
Solicitor Dorsey would not disclose
the identity of the expert on penman
ship because, he said the man’s serv
ices were voluntary and given with
the understanding that he was not to
be knowm unless it became absolutely
necessary to place him on the witness
stand. The Solicitor said, however,
that he was one of the best in the
country, and the great detective
agencies considered his tests infal
lible.
The two notes found in the base
ment of the pencil factory, specimen
of the handwriting of the tw r o men
held in the Tower in connection with
the murder, letters and notes written
by the slain girl and the handwriting
on the books of the pencil factory are
being subjected to rigid tests. Accu
rate measurements of each letter and
each w r ord. the angle of the slant in
forming the letters and the forma
tion of certain letters that experts
claim no two men write alike, are.
some of the tests applied.
Burns Man Works Quietly.
The Burns investigator who took
up the case Friday morning has not
yet reported to the office of the So
licitor. He is quietly and systemati
cally working out his own idea of the
case after a comprehensive outline
given him by Colonel Thomas B. Fel
der. He has succeeded so far in
keeping his identity secret.
Colonel Felder was confident the
