T URGES STATE TO MEET SCHOOL'S GREATEST NEED 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.

TELLS OF WORK BEING DONE 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. MAN 89 YEARS OLD FILES HORIZON IN ONE EXPOSURE GOLDENDALE. WASH.. May 31 — Round of body and limb and agile. James B. Brownlee, n Mexican War Veteran, eighty-nine, laid a wager with the United States Government of the filing fees against residing up on and cultivating eighty acres of land under the Homestead law for three years w lthout starving, when he filed an application for eighty acres of land on Rpck Creek, in East ern Klickitat. HEIRESS SISTERS PLENTY HMIItTO TO 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.

Of this fortune, which Is largely in stocks and bonds, he left $300,000 to be held in trust by 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. Y AS 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. CAMERA CAN SEE AROUND H0RI0N IN ONE EXPOSURE BALTIMORE, May 31.—By Taking advantage of the refracting quality of w ater. a camera that “sees” almost all around the horizon is what Dr. Robert H. Wood, professor at Johns Hopkins University, has contrived. There never was another camera like It, and it has no commercial value, according to Dr. Wood, although it can photograph at one exposure 180 degrees of space. Cameras of widest scope in commercial use take in only 98 degrees.

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. MEN MARRIAGE INVITATIONS CORRECTLY AND PROMPTLY ENGRAVED SEND FOR SAMPLES AND PRICES J. P.
