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.

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.

Boycott, Caused by Refusal to Recognize Huerta Regime, 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. Orozco, Traitor, Is Report. A report was current here to-day that Pascual Orozco, Jr., formerly one of Huerta's most formidable enemies, >ut who swore allegiance to the Huer ta government six weeks ago, again has changed hi3 colors and has cast his lot with the Carranza rebels in Nuevo Leon. Orozco has a big fol lowing in the north. Although congress is rushing the bill authorizing the borrowing of $85,- 000,000 abroad, the newspaper. El pais, states “on the best of authori ties” that the foreign financiers will refuse to make the loan until the gov ernment at Washington recognizes the government at Mexico City. Papers Attack Wilson. Mexican newspapers are making violent attacks on President Wilson. El Imparcial declares it is Presi dent Wilson's policy to let Mexico de stroy itself for la« k of financial help, and when the state of chaos is com plete to annex the republic to the United .States. l*a Tribuna says: “The attitude of the United States is suspicious.” The Herald says President Wilson is being informed by rebel Juntas in the United States. “BEWARE OF SLIM MEN: THEY’RE CRANKS,” SHE SAYS BOSTON, May 18.—“Beware of slim men. for they’re cranky ninety-nine times out of every hundred," is the warning given by Mrs. Blanche Mae Chandler of Revere, the professional nursY* who yesterday said that earn ing one’s own living was a far easier task than being a wife.

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 the defense in the trial of John N.

Students Bar Dance and Accept Prayers MALDEN, MASS., May 18.—To dance or pray—that was the question in Malden.

EDGEW00D WINS SECOND GAME FROM F0RMWALT Edge wood won the second game of the .•hampionship series with Form wait yes terday afternoon by the score of 9 to 2.

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 Prince Ernst, son of the Duke of Continued on Page 2, Column 8. 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
