Scott’s Bitter Disappointment—He Arrives at the
Pole Only To Find Capt. Amundsen’s Tent and Flag
''T'HE upper photograph shows Captain Scott peering into the tent erected by Captain Amundsen at the South Pole. The tent
1 is in excellent condition, and one which would furnish adequate protection against Antarctic weather. Standing about it,
from left to right, are Captain Oates, Petty Officer Evans, Captain Scott and Dr. Wilson. This is a most remarkable pohtograph,
showing, as it does, the arrival of the Scott party at the South Pole, and at the same time the evidence of the triumph of Captain
Amundsen, Flying above the tent is to be seen the Norwegian flag which Amundsen left flying as evidence of his victory.
In the lower photograph Captain Scott and his companions are shown starting their final dash over the ice and snow to
the South Pole. Hauling the heavy sledges themselves, they covered the distance of more than 560 miles on skis. Some idea of the
difficulties of their travel may be obtained by a glance at the weighted sledges shown in the picture.

•Ingle man who was credited to a
Southern State. The nearest approacn
to It was Charles Nagel, of St. Louis,
who was Secretary of Commerce and
Labor. He was a native of Texas.
At the beginning of tils administra
tion. President Taft gave the War
portfolio to Jacob McG. Dickinson, a
Tennessee Democrat, but Dickinson
resigned before the four vears were
up.
Also Gst Minor Plaoas.
The recent growth of Southern in
fluence In high places also is plainly
reflected In the character of minor
appointments. Southerners have
been coming in for a large »hare of
these, although Northern Democrats
have no ground for grumbling on this
score.
Sectionalism has played no part
with the President In making his .se
lections. high or low. He has tried to
base his appointments solely on mer
it and has passed out the nomina
tions impartially to North and South.
However, the fact that there ha/e
been so few' Southerners In important
offices under Republican administra
tion has served to emphasise the se
lections that Mr. Wilson has made
from this part of the country.
In the Treasury Department. Sec
retary McAdoo has drawn on the
South for assistance which in years
gone almost Invariably has come from
Northern States, usually from the big
money centers, like New York City.
When it came to selecting h|s first
assistant, the man who handles the
finances of the Government, chiefly in
its relations with the banks, Mr. Mc
Adoo turned to Virginia and captured
John Skelton Williams, a high class
banker.
From North Carolina.
The administration of the Internal
Revenue Bureau is in the hands jf
a Southerner also. William H. Os
born. of North Carolina, has been ap
pointed by Presld »nt Wilson to suc
ceed Royal E. Cabell.
In the Department of Justice the
first assistant is Jair.es A Fowler,
of Tennessee, who was with the
Wicker-sham administration. Mr.
McReynolds has retained him
One of the most important appoint
ments in the South that the Presi
dent has yet made was that of Wil
liam J. Harris, of Georgia, to succeed
E. Dana Durant, of California, as Di
rector of the Census. Mr. Harris w is
chairman of the Georgia State Demo
cratic Committee and has been .n
active political factor in that Stale
for several vears It is acknowledge 1
that he is capable and efficient, but
his nomination has been attacked *»y
the Republican* more bitterly than
any other.
The Republicans say Mr. Durant
was a college professor before he rn
tered the Government service and was
thoroughly equipped as an expert to
give the best possible service. Mr.
Wilson, however, believed that an of
fice of this character, which takes the
census of American industries, should
be in charge of a man who is thor
oughly in sympathy with the admin
istration’s tariff and other policies.
Diplomatic Plum Also.
Mr. Wilson’s most important diplo
matic appointment also has gone to a
Southerner by birth. Walter H. Page,
the newly appointed Ambassador to
the Court of St. James, is credited
to New York, but was born in North
Carolina.
Among the other important ap
pointments that have gone to the
South are Robert W. Wooley. of Vir
ginia, to be auditor of the Interior
Department; James L. Baity, of Mis
souri. to be auditor of the War De
partment; Ernest Hester Jones, of
Virginia, to be deputy commissioner
of the Bureau of Fisheries; Alexan
der R. Magruder, of Maryland, to be
secretary of the legation at Copen
hagen; Charles A. Wood, of South
Carolina, to be United States Circuit
Judge of the Fourth Circuit; Edward
K. Campbell, of Alabama, to be Chief
Justice of the Court of Claims; Lu
cius Q. C. I>amar, of Mississippi, to
be recorder of the General Land Of
fice, and Henry S. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, to be Assistant Secretary
of War.
In addition to this Cato Sells, the
Democratic National Committeeman
from Texas, is about to be named In
dian Commissioner.
In the United States Senate the
chairmanships of all the important
committees except three are in the
hands of Southern Senators. The
three exceptions are the Committee
on Interoceanlc Canals. Senator O-

In New Flying Boat
Aviator Makes 60 Miles an Hour in
the Air and 50 Miles While
Skimming the Waterr.
HAMMONDSPORT, May 31.—The
distinction of making a record flight
with four persons in the first four-
passenger flying boat made in Amer
ica belongs to-day to Glen H. Cur
tiss.
The boat proved unexpectedly fast,
averaging more than 60 miles an hour
when flying and 50 miles an hour
on the water. The machine is of
the tractor type, with the propelier
in front. The boat is unusually heavy,
weighing when loaded more than a
ton.
It is designed for rough water use,
with a freeboard of about four, feet,
and eight watertight compartments.
As an extra precaution each of the
compartments is provided with an au

The Latest Form of Osculation
Figures Often in Warm Love
Letters.
CINCINNATI. May 31.—A. new term
in osculation, "The Glory Kiss,” in
vented by a New Yorker, Theodore
Marion that, of the New York Highway
Commissioner’s office, and Mrs. Ma
ria Weldlich. wife of a wealthy gold
pen manufacturer of this city, has
been exposed to the^vtew of the public
by an alienation suit asking $25,000
damages filed by Mrs. Freida Marien-
thal. She will produce a bundle of *
sizzling love letters which will be used
at the trial set foC Monday.
The "Glory Kiss” far exceeds the
saccharine sweetness of the* famous
"Nethersole Kiss.”
Through correspondence, which
contained "expressions of love and #
infatuation.” Mrs. Marienthial alleges
her husband lost his love for her
with the result that ion Julyfl4, 1912,
a separation resulted.
Wife Has Letters.
The letters, which will figure prom
inently in the ease* Mrs. Marienthal
has in her possession, and shie says
all were written by Mrs. \Veidlldh, f who
addressed Marienthal as “My Darling
Teddy,” “My Loved One ’ and* "My
Own Sweet Darling Teddy.”
A letter dated "Thanksgiving^Day,
November 26, 1908,” a nine-pageieffu-
sion, says:
"Say. Teddy dear, may I ask jyou
a favor? Now’ listen, darling, tfxyou
don’t wish to do the same, why' my
love, it will be just alright. Do* you
hear? If you can get me some*’Sllk
hose in Gotham I think you can get
them more reasonably there than I
out here. You get them, darling, and
send me the bill and I will pay'you
whatever they cost.
"Now. darling, if you dorKJt feel
like It, it is all the same. 1j want
six pairs, blue. pink, yellow, white,
green and black. Now. dearie, don’t
send them unless you send the’ bill,
because I want to pay for them^my-
self. And, sweetheart, if you' are
ashamed to ask for them, wfcfcr it
will be alright. I want sizes ten
or ten and a half, as they-shrink
somewhat.
Always Loves Glory.
"Say, darling, I just called/} up
and. yes. there is a nice, btg. fat*
letter there for me. and there iaftwo
cents due on It. Oh, my love, you
are such a darling boy. always; lov
ing me, always thinking of your
Glory, who loves you better-than any
one else. Oh. I love you. Teddy, 1
love you. darling, and I ami sick for
you. Tell me you love me, darfflng.
tell me you love your Glory better
than all the world. *
"Now, sweet love, I am going to
go down and get your sweet mes
sage of love. I will devour every
little word; will drink it all in, hjearr.
and soul. And, my darling. I will
kiss the lines over and over as T
know your dear hand traced them.
; You are so dear to me Deeper and
! deeper grows the feeling, the .love,
the trust I gave you, and you are
certainly my twin soul mate.”
Another part reads: “Oh. Teddv,
Teddy, my darling. Haw dear you are
to mo. Sweet love, do you remember
! when I kissed you? Not the Nether-
sole, but the ‘Glory Kiss*.’ Do you, re
member all those sweetf things? I/do."
Would Exchange‘Husbands.
The wish that they could exchange
husbands is contained in these words
in another letter: "Tfeddy, God help
us both. I wish mine had your»bet-
ter half and she had mine."
The "Glory Kiss” Is described in one
of the letters as follows:
’Here, sweetheart, is a kiss; one
that intoxicates the mind, drinks up
the soul and lulls two hearts to sleep
to dream of love, sweet love, and let
the world be well lost For we can
well live on and on without any peo
ple, but we cannot live on and on
without love. And that comes into
our lives when least expected, and
then it is like a fountain of pure bub
bling water, pourin* forth all the
time, seeing which litV^fibubble comes
to the surface first.**
Mrs. Marienthal say* that she re
ceived a letter from * young woman
In this city, in which the writer
warned her that she <tught to watch
her husband. The writer also*etated
that she had written a letter to Mr.
Weldlich, also, warning him to watch
his wife.

No Sectional Feeling.
The big Ways and Means Commit
tee, which already has been chosen
for the present Congress and which
not only handles the tariff bill, but
all other committee assignments, is
about evenly divided in membership
of the majority party between North
ern and Southern States. The Com
mittee on R iles has five Democrats
from Southern States to two from
the North. Not only will the tariff he
revised under the leadership of South
ern Democrats, but the same forces
will handle the revision of the cur
rency laws.
It should be said, however, that
there is not a semblance of sectional
feeling among the Democrats over
the makeup of the committees The
facts instanced here an- merely in

with what strength the South is as

atives for some time, she wrote him
that she did not care enough for him

WASHINGTON. May 31.—"The
Three Kates Club” is the most ex
clusive social organisation in Wasn-
ington. Its three members are Misses
Katherine Elkins, Katherine Jennings
and Katherine Britton. The strictest
rule of this club is that no member
shall marry except for love.
Miss Jennings and Miss Elkins have
a common tie in the fact that their
immense inheritances make them
the target for fortune hunters. Miss
Katherine Britton comes into a
charmed circle, perhaps, because, of
the devotion she is receiving from
young “Dick” Elkina.

At 70 She Produces
Masterpiece in Clay
Mrs. Julia Painter's Head of an
Apache Wins Praise of Carnegie
Institute.
PITTSBURG. May 31.—“The Head
of an Apache,” worked in clay by Mrs.
Julia Brigs Painter, is considered by
The faculty of the Carnegie Institute
of Technology to be the equal of any
thing that has been done in clay any
where.
It was created at the first attempt,
and when its creator had reached
three score and ten. So. perfect is
this production that the heads of the
departments are making prepar?|tions
to have the model cast in bronze, for
already a place nas been secured for
it in the Gallery of American Sculp
ture in the World’s Fair.
It stands almost three feet high and
shows in life size the stern, strong,
rugged, cunning and malicious face
cf the Apache chieftain, besmeared
with his warpaint and his gala head
dress of feathers.
But the strangest of the strange
part of the wonderful work lies in
the fact that the sculptor had no liv
ing model.
Mrs. Painter’s work has been view
ed by all the artists of Pittsburg and
pronounced masterful. The school
has awarded her one of the few sil
ver medals it has bestowed, and Mrs.
Painter is the first woman of her ad
vanced age to be the recipient of such
honor.
