NEW YORK. May 29. 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.
It also requested permission for
Ihe government's loan of the Farm
which Is a naval transport.

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.

OLYMPIA. Wash., May 29.
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

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., May
29. The federal board of aurvey
and adjuatment In session here in
vestigating conditions on govern
ment reclamation projects was to
day considering the request of the
Klamath irrigation district for a
recommendation to the interior de
partment to bring suit against tha
California Oregon Power Company
to annul a contract entered into
in 1916 by which tbe power com
pany secured concessions at Klam
ath Lake.
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. H.
Carnahan. representing the Klam
ath irrigation diBtrlct, presented
the claim ot the district in connec
tion with the power company con
tract The power company - waa
to present Us aide of the case to
day. ,
Attorney Carnahan claimed that
If the power concession were re-'
turned to the district It could carry
on power development, and gain
an Income of $70,000 a year, al
most enough to run the district.
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. '
The district attorney produced tha
original contract by which the dis
trict waa ceded the waters of
Klamath lake for the use of irri
gation purposes, from which ha
read a clause that stated that the
district could utilize the waters of
Klamath lake for power develop
ment A. H. Lamm, consulting engineer
of Portland, submitted a long re
port on water supply and present
and potential Irrigated land. 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.
"Why are you refusing to In
clude approximately 60.000 acres
of the same kind of land that Ilea
Just across the state line In Calif
ornia, all In the same body and
which would be irrigated by the
same body of water? Mr. Car
nahan wanted to know.
"You don't contemplate irrigat
ing that land because Ihe water la
needed to turn over the turbines
of the California Power Company,
Carnahan charged.
Ex-Governnr Campbell, took Is
sue with Mr. carr.anan at mis,
point, stating that Mr. Camanan
waa drawing upon his Imagination
In making such charges against
the reclamation service.
Indicative of the fact that tho
