Far for the safety of Captain Roald Amundsen and his five fellow-explorers hag been somewhat allay ed by the revelation that he allott ed two weeks for completion of the expedition to the North Pole and Teturn. Today marks the beginning of the second week since the two airplanes, one commanded by Amundsen and the other by the American, Lincoln Ellsworth, left Kings Bay, Spitsbergen, for the north. The Norwegian Aeronautlclan, through Its headquarters at Oslo, made known last night that Amundsen's final Instructions to his supporting section aboard the steamers Farm and ITobbv were that these ships should patrol the edire of the Ice field In event the planes did not return within a fort night. The association has asked the Norwegian government, to provide Iwo naval planes to aid In the task of watching for the homecomera.

Frldtjof Nansen. the Arctic explorer who l visiting here, expressed his belief todav that Amundsen would return safely from his flying expedition to the North Pole. Dr. Nansen said It would be Im possible for Amundsen to deter mine from the air whether he was at the Pole. Therefore, he believes Amundsen landed whenever he thought he was near the Pole ana then took observations. This would require some time and thereafter It would be necessary for the party to Journey afoot to the Pole, where Amundsen undoubtedly would de sire to take sufficient time for careful measurements and investi gations. Therefore, said Dr. Nansen. there Is no occasion for worry be cause Amundsen has not returned.

Breaking the silence which he has rigidly maintained since It first became known that Forbes P. Has kell. Jr., and Guy E. Kelly had made affidavits charging him with an attempt at fee splitting in the liquidations of the Scandinavian American Bank of Tacoma, form er Governor Louis F. Hart made public a formal statement this morning. The statement follows: In this statement, former Gov ernor Hart declared that Mr. Kel ly expressed the belief that "they ought to have" about six per cent of all the money handled, which would have amounted to over $200,000 to bedivttrad between the attorneys and the liquidator. The former governor said that he op posed Buch a sum and had told them "you can't pay me a damn cent," when he charged they bad reported to him that they under stood he desired a part of the fees. "For several months I had been endeavoring to have the liquida tion of the bank expedited, in ord er that the depositors might get their money and that the matter might be closed during my admin istration and not left over for my successor. . "Sometime during the early part of October, 1924, I called on Mr. Kelly and we had talked but a few minutes when he brought up the matter of fees. Mr. Kelly said he thought they ought to haxe six per cent of all the money handled, in cluding several hundreds of thou sands of dollars paid banks and bankers to release collateral secur ity for money loaned the bank. This would be about $210,000 to be divided between the liquidator and his lawyer. To this I Immediately protested and said, "My God, Kel ly, with that a man could live for years and wouldn't have to hunt a job." He then proceeded to tell me of Ihe amount of work he had done and that another attorney had received nearly $100,000 fees in other lines of litigation. "I called his attention to the ob ject of the law to prevent the dis sipation of assets of defunct in stitutions by way of exorbitant fees for receivers and attorneys. "Some days later Mr. Haskell and Mr. Kelly called at the gover nor's office to have me change my attitude regarding their fees, and Mr. Haskell said: 'Mr. Kelly tells m that you want the bank's af faire closed up and that you desire a part of the fees.' To this I re plied: 'I want the business clos ed up. but you can't pay me a damn cent.' Afterwards, In the same Interview, Mr. Haskell start ed to refer to the matter and I In terrupted him and said: 'No more of that you can't pay me a cent Forget It' ". TACOMA. Wash.. May 28. The mystery surrounding charges against former Governor Louis F. Hart of proposed fee splitting In the Scandinavian-American Bank, contained In affidavits signed by Forbes P.

The board, composed of Ex-Governor Thomas U. Campbell of Ari zona, chairman, and Francis M. Goodwin, began hearings here thia week of pleaa of aettlers on pro jects In this vicinity for relief of various kinds. W. A. Delzeil, ot Salem, is sitting with the board. Late yesterday Attorney J.

Attorney Carnahan was telling the board how recovery of power rights would benefit the district, wanted to know by what authority or contract the irrigation district could utilize the outflow of Klam ath lake for power development.

Ac- ' cording to hia findings, if there were two dry years in succession, similar to 1924. the Irrigation dis trict would find itself short of water, due to the fact that one half of the outflow waa being us ed by the California-Oregon Power Company for power purposes. His findings were based upon estimates of total acreage whlrh Is now Irrigated and that whlrh will be irrigated In the years to come. H. D. Newell, project manager of the reclamation service, took: Issue with Lamm on his estimate of acreage. Oyer his exceptions to Ihe report arose one of the dra matic moments In the hearing.
