The Men Who Found the Bodies of Captain Scott and His
Comrades—Memorial Cross Erected to Dead Heroes
I N the photograph on the left are shown pictures of the four men who actually discovered the
frozen bodies of Captain Scott and his fellows. From left to right, they are T. Oran, assis
tant commander of the Scott Western party; T. S. Williamson, petty officer; F. W. Nelson,
biologist of the Western party; T Crean, petty officer. Crean and Williamson are both of the
British Royal Navy. Gran, as the photograph shows, holds in his hand a quantity of hardtack,
of which the rescuers were about to make a meal. Suspended about the neck of Petty Officer
Williamson may be seen the snow glasses with which Arctic and Antarctic explorers protect
their eyes from the terrific glare of the reflected rays of the sun.
At the right is shown the cross erected on Observation Hill by the rescuing party in memory
of the immortal five. Observation Hill was used as a minor food depot. The cross, as the photo
graph shows, was made of rough timber. Upon it may be seen the words “In Memoriam’’
carved by rescuers, and beneath that the names of Captain Scott and men who died with him.

Educator Asserts That Skilled
Engineers Are as Necessary in
South Now as Good Farmers.
On the eve of the annual com
mencement of the Georgia School of
Technology, Prof. K. G. Matheson,
president of the Institution, has 1h-
sued an appeal to the people of At
lanta and the State of Georgia to
help to bring about a larger appro
priation by the State for the school,
In order that the capacity of the In
stitution might be enlarged to meet
the demands.
Prof. Matheson gives an outline of
the work of the school. Its value to
the State and Its needs In this arti
cle, and concludes with an invitation
to the people of Georgia to partici
pate In the quarter centennial cele
bration, which begins to-morrow
right and will continue through com
mencement week.
BY K. G. MATHE90N.
(Prtiident (fcon/ia School of Tech
nology.)
The Bouth has become so wide
Awake to the need of developing
its natural resources that the
technological schools of the coun
try cannot turn out graduate en
gineers fast enough to meet the
demand.
The men trained at all our
Southern institutions are numer
ically but a drop In the bucket.
An army of tmined leaders Is
needed.
Three years ago. for every
graduate engineer who came out
of a Southern Institution, fifteen
came into this territory from the
North, and then there were not
nearly enough.
No Limit To Need.
There Is no limit to the num
ber of men of this class needed.
We graduate about 70 this year.
I believe that If the clast was
composed of 700, they could all
find Important work to do with
out waiting a month, and with
out going outside of Georgia,
The possibilities for the en
largement of Georgia Tech are
boundless. In the next 10 years
we ought to enlarge our proper
ty to HO acres, we ought to double
our equipment; we ought to more
than double the size of our stu
dent body.
We of the South have already
awakened to a full realization of
the fact that we have the great
est combination of natural re
sources in the world; but while
great strides are being made, our
resources are still for the most
part lying dormant. They are
awaiting efficient development.
The only possible way In which
this can be accomplished U to
have trained industrial leaders
and engineers.
One such skilled leader may
Actually accomplish in real prog
ress more than an army of un
trained men.
Take, for instance, our first
graduate, Mr. George G. Craw
ford, president of the Tennessee
Coal A Iron Company, of Bir
mingham, who, due to his train
ing and experience, is directing
the energies of some 20,000 men.
He is helping make of Birming
ham and Its surrounding territory
one of the great steel sections of
the world.
While nature has been prodigal
in bestowing upon the South these
natural resources, we have been
equally so in our waste and in
efficiency. The first thing need
ed is technically trained men. The
supply of such leaders is the ob
Ject of the Georgia School of
Technology. Thi B is strictly an
engineering institute, giving high
ly efficient courses in the seven
follow'ii.g departments:
Mechanical engineering.
Electrical engineering.
Civil engineering.
Textile engineering.
Engineering chemistry.
Chemistry.
Architecture.
Must Broaden Facilities.
So great la the demand for
trained engineers In each of these
departments that the school can
not even begin to supply It. We
need to broaden out our facili
ties, not only in the seven degree
oourse« mentioned, but in other
departments of engineering as
well.
Located as the school is in the
leading manufacturing city of the
South, and in the very heart of its
richest and most prosperous sec
tion, it is in a position richly to
repay Georgia for some adequate
and ever increasing support. With
a proper amount of efficient in
dustrial leader-ship, we are des
tined to become the greatest sec
tion of the United States. The
two greatest factors in the ma
terial growth of any nation are
agriculture and manufacturing,
and they should by all means go
hand in hand.
We are rejoicing to see the re
naissance of agriculture in the
8outh. and our desire is to ?ee the
same thing accomplished along
manufacturing and industrial
lines. In fact, it has already been
begun, but it must be carried for
ward. We are moving in the
right direction. The essentia!
thing is to keep on moving. Here
In Atlanta, our young men come
<r» contact with manufactories of
all kinds. There are over 800
factories in the city, which fur
nish to the students at Tech an
unequalled opportunity not mere
ly for inspection and observation,
but for actual practical experi
ence. It ia an inspiration to
them. The Intense practicality of
the Georgia School of Technology
Is our chief pride. We keep a
careful record of every graduate,
and so far as wo know', not a sin-*
glo one Is failing to make his
mark. Over 85 per cent, of them
remain in engineering pursuits,
and the large majority of them
are In commanding positions,
Is it any wonder that we feet
we have the right to ask the peo
ple of Atlanta and Georgia to help
us double the capacity of our In
stitution?
More Ground Spaoe Necessary.
We need twice ns much ground
space. We need to reconstruct
temporary buildings and make
them permanent. We need more
buildings. We want to bo able to
accommodate within a few years
a student body of 1,500 to 2,000.
Our annual resources now amount
to 290,000 from the State, $7,000
.from the city and $30,000 In fees.
We need to double them, and
even then we will bo able to use
more.
Several years ago at the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technolo
gy, the budget for maintenance
for one year was $625,000. The
attendance was only twice hs
large as that at the Georgia Tech.
Yet. after spending the $626,000,
they had a deficit for the ye^ir of
$76,000. or more than the entire
appropriation of the State for
Tech at that time.
We hope that the State under
the revised system of taxation
will give us more adequate sup
port for maintenance, as well as
for equipment. We hope that the
City of Atlanta will recognize still
further that it is the chief bene
ficiary of the school us regards
the spending of money, and that
in addition we annually educate
about 300 men from Fulton Coun
ty, including night school stu
dents. practically free of charge.
In Cambridge it is considered a
disgrace for a well-to-do man to
die and not leave something to
Harvard. We hope to instill that
vital and righteous doctrine in the
hearts of the citizens of Atlanta.
In the 25 years of Tech’s life, we
have had practically only one be
quest, though numbers of hand
some donations have been receiv
ed. and have been of inestimable
value to the institution.
Georgia Tech is one of tlie best
advertising assets the State has.
In my tours in all parts of the
country. 1 find that Georgia Tech
is Invariably recognized for its
high standards and that in tech
nological and manufacturing cir
cles everywhere, the efficiency
and thorough character of the
work done at the Tech is appre
ciated. The great corporations
send representatives here every
year at commencement time, to
select men from our senior class.
And our men are to-day occupy
ing high positions in all parts of
the country.
The Georgia Tech belongs to
Georgia and the people of Geor
gia. We Invite them all to par
ticipate with us in the quarter
centennial celebration that will
begin to-morrow’ night.

Florence and Helen Dodd, Who
Inherited $100,000 Each, Won
by Presbyterian Clergymen.
ST. LOUIS, May 31.—Two heir-
esses, sisters, have signified their in
tention of abandoning the pleasures
of society for the quiet duties of a
minister’s wife. These two young
women are Misses Florence and Hel

the St. Louis Union Trust Company,
for eight nieces and nephews, includ
ing the Misses Dodd. The interest on
this fund to be divided equally among
the beneficiaries annually for five
years, when the principal becomes
available. The Misses Dodd also
share, with a number of other heirs,
in the residue of $1,000,000.
The Misses Dodd made their home
with their rich uncle up to the time
of his death, in his palatial residence
at 53 Vandeventer Place. They took
an active interest in church work, to
which- he also was devoted, and that
they should choose ministers as life
partners is no surprise to their inti
mate friends.
The wedding of Miss Helen Dodd
will take place at the home of her
aunt, Mrs. Sanford G. Scarritt, 4252
Washington Boulevard, on Tuesday.
It will he a quiet affair, attended
only by the immediate relatives.
The date of the wedding of Miss
Florence Dodd has not been set. She
announced her engagement at East
Orange. N. J.. where she now is vis
itlng friends.
NORMAL STUDENTS TO DIP
UP PREHISTORIC REMAINS
WINONA, MINN.. May 31.—The
Winona and La Crosse normal schools
are preparing to assemble groups of
students of both Institutions on the
farm of Frank Buddie, near here,
for the purpose of resurrecting the
skeleton of what is declared to have
been a giant prehistoric elephant.
The discovery was made ten days
ago and faculty members of both
schools have visited the farm and ex
pressed the belief that the find is an
important one. The animal roamed
North America, before the glacial
period, it is declared. The work will
be done with great care, first ex
posing the bones and holding them
Intact with a plaster paris mixture
before an attempt is made to remove
them.
The schools will divide the bones.
The Minnesota and Wisconsin uni
versities are said to be interested.

Miss Madeline Sullivan Hears
the News With Much
Indifference.
CHICAGO. May 31.—The news that
“Plenty Hawk" is to wed a squaw
was received with indifference by
Mis« Madeline Sullivan, who once
hoped to marry him.
Plenty Hawk, richest of all the
Crow Indians, lias taken out a license
to marry a former squaw of Medi
cine Hat. Not two years ago it took
the combined efforts of Miss Sulli
van’s mother and the Federal author
ities to prevent the young girl from
marrying the Indian. Following her
wild prank she roped papier mache
steers and perforated glass balls with
a seven shooter on the vaudeville
stage for the edification of those that
responded to the Wild West posters
on the billboards.
“I have just returned from Palm
Beach,” said Miss Sullivan,
wearily. “Really, I had forgot
ten all about that childish escapade.
So Plenty Hawk is to be married.
I am glad to hear it. He was a
good Indian, but, really, I can’t be
lieve that he is to be married, be
cause I know that he has one legal
wife now'. You see, it would be quite
impossible. I am sorry if it pre
vents him from marrying some cm-
of his choice. No, I never heard of
this Medicine Hat woman. I don’t
know whether she is a white woman
or an Indian.”
Miss Sullivan read with renewed
interest the despatch from Sheridan,
which carried the information that
Plenty Hawk had taken out a license
to marry Mrs. Medicine Hat, but that
one Catholic priest had refused to
marry the couple because they lacked
permission from the priest on the
reservation. Plenty Hawk’s bride-to-
be w’as decked out in a costume val
ued at $5,500, which was said to con
tain several thousand elk teeth wov
en in cloth. Mrs. Minnie Kirchberg
Sullivan, the girl’s mother, also was
Interested in the news.

degrees of space. Cameras of widest

CHICAGO, May 31.—Harry Jordan
was a good chauffeur and had deep
blue, hypnotic eyes. A brief ac
quaintanceship with him cost Mrs.
Fred Strong of 1023 La Salle Avenue
$4,100, she said to-day, when she ap
pealed to the police to protect her
six-year-old son from being kidnaped
by Jordan.
The threat of her former chauffeur
to steal her little son took Mrs. Strong
to the police, but after she had told
her story of the remarkable eyes and
ways of Jordan to Lieutenant Timo
thy Cullinan, he sent detectives to the
Municipal Court with Mrs. Strong to
have her swear out a warrant .for
Jordan on a charge of swindling.
"I inherited a considerable estate
from my mother a short time ago.”
said Mrs. Strong. “Last October I
bought a motor car and Harry Jordan,
with his appealing blue eyes, asked
me for a job as chauffeur and got it.
He was a crack-a-Jack chauffeur aud
swirled me about the city and for
fine rides In the country.
Takes Him Into Home.
“After a few weeks he told me that
all hls life he had lived In luxury
and it hurt his feelings to have to
sleep in the garage. He thought our
home would be far more comfortable.
He told me all this and I told it to
Mr. Strong."
"If that chauffeur moves In here, 1
move out,” said Mr. Strong.
The chauffeur w’ith the deep blue
eyes moved in and Mr. Strong went
downtown to live.
After Jordan had lived in the house
a few days and had nosed around
among the papers and had learned
the family history he came down
stairs ono morning and confronted
Mrs. Strong.
“Don’t you recognize me?” Mrs.
Strong says he asked.
"Sure, you are the hired chauffeur,"
said Mrs. Strong.
“Oh, don’t say thgt, or you'll break
my heart. Don’t you recognize me?
Can’t you see? Why, I'm your step
brother! Ah, sister, I can see that
you do recognize me.”
He Keeps the Change.
“After that," Mrs. Strong continued,
“I turned over a piece of firoperty
worth $3,400 to him, which he at once
disposed of and pocketed the cash.
He handled other property deals for
me in which the profit amounted to
several hundred dollars and he al
ways kept the change.”
In December Jordan had another
idea. He approached Mrs. Strong
with a mysterious air and after say
ing “Hist!" and looking all around
to see that nobody could overhear,
he whispered:
"I belong to a lodge.”
"Yes.”
“It Is a secret and mysterious order.
The commands of this lodge cannot
be disobeyed. I have been ordered to
get married and at once.”
So Jordan married Miss Ella Wurl,
the prettiest telephone operator at
the Edgewater Exchange, and her
parents confidently trusted Jordan
with $200 to Invest after they had
heard of his farm in Iowa and his
$60,000 worth of securities. He chauf-
fed for Mrs. Strong up until a few
weeks ago when as a sign that he
was tired of working, Mrs. Strong
says he sold the car and pocketed the
proceeds. Then he said he was go
ing on his wedding journey.
