ONE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED IN BREAST
LONDON, Feb. 10. At a meeting
of the Royal Geographical Society
tonight announcement was made of
a disaster which has overtaken Cap
tain Robert F. Scott's Antartic expe
dition,' resulting In the death of Cap
tain Scott, Dr. E. A. Wilson, Lieuten
ant H. R. Bowers, Captain I. F. G.
Gates and Petty Officer E. Evans.
Captain Scott's party, said Doug
las W. Freshfield, vice-president of
the Geoarauhical Society, in making
J.I.- lr,r.fr,4

Roald Amundsen's tent and records
at the South Pole. On the return trip
about March 29, 1912, 11 miles from
One Ten Depot, a blizzard overwhelm
ed them. They had suffered greatly
from hunger and exposure and the
death of Scott, Bowers and Wilson !
virtually was due to that. They died
soon after the blizzard swept down on
the party.
Gate3 died from exposure a few
days later. The death of Evans re
sulted from a fall. The other mem
bers of the expedition arex reported
to be in good health. A searching
party discovered the bodies of those
who perished some time later.
The news of the apalling disaster
which befell Captain Scott and his
comrades was received by a signal
message from the Terra Nova, the
vessel which had carried the explorr
er and his pxpedition to the Antar
tic, and which late last year went
once again to the South to bring him
and his companions back.
Captain Scott's main traveling party
was to consist of 16 men besides
himself, while groups of four men
each were to return at different stag
es of the journey, leaving Scott and
four others to complete the final
dash to the Pole.
Captain Scott's party reached the
exact point where Roald Amundsen
planted the Norwegian flag at the
South Pole. They found there the hut
constructed and left behind by Amund
sen's party.
These facts were recorded in the
documents found on the bodies of the
explorers when they were recovered.
Portland Young Men, on Way to
- Eastern Oregon, Stop in
Stable to Get
Feed
Mistaking them for horsethieves,
M. J. Wheeler, deputy sheriff, living
near Poring, shot and seriously
wounded Donald Cooper and Kenneth
Specht, both of Portland, early Mon
day morning. Mr. Wheeler was awak
ened by a noise in his barn about 1
o'clock, and made an investigation.
He found Specht, who is 17 years of
age, and Cooper, who is 20 years of
age, in the barn.
Wheeler says he shouted to the
young men to throw up their arms,
and that Specht held up one but that
Cooper refused to comply with the
command and drew a pistol. Wheeler,
who had a rifle, fired, the ball enter
ing Cooper's breast. Specht was shot
twice in the left hand. Wheeler at
once telephoned for a physician at
Gresham and the wounds of the young
men were dressed". Cooper was so
seriously wounded that the physician
advised that he be kept at the Wheel
er home. Specht accompanied . his
mother, who was summoned soon af
ter the shooting, to Oregon City.
Both young men denied they had any
intention of stealing horses, but en
tered the bar to obtain feed for a
horse they were driving.
Specht, who had been working at
a meat market on East Burnside
Street, and Cooper had been chums
for several months. They obtained
a horse and buggy at the meat mar
ket Sunday afternoon with the inten
tion of going to Eastern Oregon to
obtain work. Specht said that he
had no reason for leaving home, but
was influenced to do so by his com
panion. Mrs. Specht soon missed
her son and began a search for him
soon after the young men departed
in the buggy. The Specht home it at
467 East Couch Street and Cooper
lived at 11 1-2 Twelfth Street.
Announcement was made that the
men probably will be prosecuted in
Mulnomah County 'for taking the
horse and buggy without obtaining
permission of the proprietor. Wheeler
has not been arrested.

SHORT STORIES
PICTURED AT
THE GRAND
TODAY
Fooling Their Wives
Brown, Jones and Smith go
camping and leave their wives
very lonely. When the men
return, the wives to- get square
take a turn at camping. The
husbands disguise themselves
as tramps and attempt to break
up the camp, but the women
chase them into the lake and
the men argee to return home.
Quarantined
Lieutenant Mason is engaged
to Ruth Wilson, the Colonel's
daughter. His father, a grouchy
old banker, objects and when
he hears that the couple are
going to get married and go
to the Phillipines he goes to
the Colonel to protest. There
is a small pox scare and the
doctor of the regiment to help
young Mason seizes the father
and confines him in the hos
pital until after the wedding is
over.
"Off The Road"
Just think of it A young
man discovers he is in love
with the daughter of a man
who killed his' father. When
the guilty man learns who his
expected son-in-law is, he dies
of remorse. He leaves a con
fession of his guilt, which the
young man finds in time to
keep a knowledge of it from
his wife-to-be. He comforts
her in her bereavement and
marries her. A greater test of
love can scarcely 1).e imagined,
but he endures and he is bless
ed. The conveyance by this
picture of the .thoughts involv
ed can be better seen in its
showing at THE GRAND to
day. Her Faithful Yuma Servant
Senorita Garcia, the daugh
ter of wealthy parents, refuses
to marry a man her family has
selected. She accepted the only
alternative, leaving with her
Indian servant to join the In
dian tribe. The beautiful girl,
lonely and sick at heart, earns
her livelihood by selling Indian
wicker baskets and earthen
ware. After several years of
this unsatisfactory existence
she meets with a gentleman
whose curiosity is aroused by
the presence of a white woman
among the Indians. He asks
her why and she unfolds the
story of the sacrifice she has
made to true love. In reply he
paints a picture of a lonely,
father and mother waiting and
anxious to welcome their lost
daughter back home. The Sen
orita nods her head, a tear
starts and the story ends.

SALEM, Feb. 10 (Special.) Rep
resentative Schuebel's bill which pro
vides that every person who is at
the Legislature for the purpose of
lobbying for or against any bill won
an easy victory Monday morning.
The lobbyists shall place their name
on a public record together with the
amount of compensation received - by
them and from whom it is received.
The name of the person or firm by
whom the lobbyist is employed must
also appear on the public record. The
bill also provides that lobbyists may
only appear before committees and
shall state their arguments before
i them as such. They shall not lobby
i any other place than committees ex
j cept . upon the inviation of either
( house, and then the lobbyist shall
I talk before the whole house. For the
violation of the bill a penalty of from
! $200 to '$5,000 is provided for the
I employer and a fine of from $100 to
$1,000 for the employee.
This bill passed the House by aL
most a unanimous vote, their being
but one dissenting vote, that of J.
N. Nolta, of Multnomah County. The
bill is considered a victory for Rep
resentative Schuebel and a lively
fight is promised in the Senate.
Schuebel made no , effort to fight
for the recall of judicial decisions
resolution he introduced in the
House several days ago at the request
of some Progressives. The commit
tee recommended that it be postpon
ed and the Oregon City man raised no
strong protest. Beyond those two
measures, the Clackamas County del
egation in both houses was out of the
public gaze all day.
The passage in the house of the
county road bonding act was the
most important feature of today's
session. The bill as passed is a com
promise between the Senate bill by
Barrett and the Houe bill by Hurd.
Its provisions are practically the same
as those in the Grange bill which was
defeated at the general election ex

some precincts contain as high as
600.

"D1CKED" MEANS
SOLON DISSENTS
SALEM, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.)
Senate debates at this Legislative
session have led to members acquir
ing rare sobriquets by having the
same phraseology used in reference
t6 them day after day. Some of these
titles probably will stick long after
the 27th session has gone on the his
torial page. For instance, Dimick is
known as "My friend from Eel Is
land". Moser is given the appelation
of "My fat Teutonic friend." Joseph
is constantly referred to as "My Irish
friend from Jerusalem." Kellaher is
famed as "Common User Dan" and
"Kangaroo Danf Thompson is known
as "My Swamp Angel Friend." Smith
of Coos and Curry goes on the josh
page as "Unconstitutional Ira," while
Butler responds to the title "Consti
tutional Defender."
A new word also has been coined
"dimick" conjugated regularly, the
past tense being "dimicked." To say
in the Senate today that a man "dim
icks'' from a proposition, means that
he resents?
