WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. As a re
sult of an early morning conference
at the White House, three additional
battleships will be sent to the east
coast of Mexico today, and orders will
be issued at once for the immediate
placing in commission of two Army
transports for the transport of troops
to Mexico City for the protection of
the lives of Americans and foreign
ers should the situation there grow
any worse.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 11. A pitched
battle was fought- today among the
skyscrapers and homes of one of the
great cities of the world between ad
herents of President Francisco Ma
dero and the revolutionary forces of
General Felix Diaz.
Cannon roared in the streets of the
densely populated city and rifle bul
lets scattered against the walls that
housed thousands of foreigners" as
well as the countrymen of the com
batants. ..'
When darkness put an end to the
battle, after seven hours' fighting,
neither side appeared to have gained
any marked advantage.
Estimates of casualities run as high
as 1000, although accurate informal
tion cannot be obtained at this time.
The dead certainly will be counted
by hundreds.
Three Americans are known to have
suffered injuries by stray bullets.
They are Floyd Osborne, the author,
who was shot in the thigh; Dr. R. H.
McCrosson, of Lincoln, Neb., and Mark
Johnson, a negro, of Madison, 111.
Artillery played the chief part in
the day's fighting. The rifle fire was
kept up continuously.
Scarcely four blocks separated the
heavy guns of the opposing forces,
but the shells fell throughout the en
tire city. In no section were the in
habitants safe. Office buildings, de
voted until now to the battles of bus
iness, were turned into fortresses,
iness, were turned into fortresses.
The rebels captured the Y. M. C. A.
Building and used it for a fortress.

CHICAGO, Feb. 11. Cat ... i
Amundsen, discoverer ot .i t.
Pole, today paid the follow i. .
to Captain Scott:
In this, my first and only sis
statement regarding the superlatively
heroic death of Captain Scott and
four companions, I wish first, before
I paint the picture as I conceive it,
to bow before .the great character of
my companion . discoverer. Captain
Scott left as a monument a record of
a man sincere, modest and honest as
the world has ever seen a greater
record than any mere "discoverer"
could hope to equal. Scott, instead of
assuming too much, took rather too
little credit for himself. All of this,
too, although he reached the pole only
a little more than a month later.
The latest news we heard of Scott
and hi3 party was in April, 1912. It
came from those returning on the
Terra Nova. They had left Scott and
four companions in latitude 87 de
grees, 3 minutes south. It was re
ported they had brought back all the
dogs, leaving Scott without traction
power.
This meant that the men were for
ced to haul the sledges and provis
ions. This our party never did. We
figured the provisions were the most
important and feared to trust their
carriage to human beings. Dogs hold
out after man's strength had failed.
What circumstances resolved Scott
to undertake to transport him own
sledges is not known. His reason
must have been a good one, for he
was an experienced explorer.
Immediately after setting up his
flag at the pole and verifying my find
ings, Scott turned back.
The story of the returning flight
.will never be told. It ie beyond- the
power of mm to do so. Imagine here
was a man who had reached one of
the poles. The world was ready to
welcome and do him homage, at it
so often has done homage to me. He
was a pure scientfic spirit and he was
anxious, as his diary shows, to cor
roborate what I had- reported. He
started up from the world s end to
wards home, civilization, friends,
glory, children and wife. Then, across
the bright horizon of hope and" long
ing came the shadow of defeat and,
perhaps, death appeared.
First, as I picture it, scurvy that
most horrible of all diseases began
to attack the returning victors. They
had been cutting down food, because
perhaps they had taken inadequate
supplies owing to the fact that they
themselves were dragging the load
ed sledges. Captain Evans of the
Terra 'ft ova, was stricken with scurvy
a few days after his return. This
shows that the germs of the disease
were present. Scurvy, inconceivable
cold and low provisions then began
their deadly work. One of the men
finally fell exhausted. There were no
dogs to pull him on the sledges. The
other four men. themselves suffering
terribly from disease, cold Rnd hun
ger, attempted to save their compan
ion by drawing him across the snow.
The burden was almost too much.
On and on, sick, freezing and starv
ing, the little party staggered over
the blinding glare of eternal ice and
snow, looking, always looking, for that
provision depot that life saver. But
it never came.
At last the truth must have reached
them they had missed it. But they
went on. All now, perhaps, were con
sumed by scurvy. Parts of their bod
ies were continuously frozen. Their
suffering must have been terrible. I
am conservative when I. say it must
have been the most horrible tragedy
that ever occurred in a region where
tragedies are most commonplace.
Then one day when it seemed help
must come, a great blizzard set in
the most terrible blizzard Scott ever
encountered. It was too much for the
tempest-tossed, disease-eaten, freez
ing, starving men. So they pitched
their little tent in the middle of the
blizzard to die.

Tuesday were the guests of the Clack
amas Southern Railway Company on
a trip over its tracks to Newell Creek j
Canyon. More than 40 members of
the organization made up the party j
a i.l all were amazed at the work that i
oeen done by the company. The I
f ling has been virtually completed
to Beaver Creek and the track soon ;
will be laid all the way. j
After the luncheon the members '
walked to the yards, of the company ;
at Fifteenth and Main Streets where ;
the boarded a flat car and were soon
whisked to the trestle. The car was '
stopped on the middle of the span and I
the members were enthralled ty the j
beautiful view. The canyon is 123 j
feet deep and the trestle is 792 fr j
long. Announcement was made that j
the trestle alone cost $14,000 and con-!
tains $1,200 worth of bolts. H. E.
Cross, Main Trunk of the Live Wires '
was the conductor and Grant B. Dim-!
ick, Secretary of- the Clackamas
Southern Railway Company, was the
engineer. Announcement was made
that the stockholders of the company
'H be taken on weekly trips over
the lins until it is finished. More than
3,000 cords of wood have been cut
ready for transportation" over the new
road. There is no question that the
business will tax the capacity of tne
road, which, it is expected will be in
operation to Molalla by Fall. The
company has been given a contract
for 20 carloads of lumber daily for
20 years. It is probable that Portland
capitalists will supply the money need
ed to extend the line to Silverton.
Virtually all the money used so far
in the construction of the road was
raised in this county. Fred Watts, of
Monitor and H. M. Everhart, of Mo
lalla, were members of the "excur
sion" party. -

FATE OF ROAD BILL

SENATE IS EXPECTEQ TO PASS
ON BONDING MEASURE
TODAY
GOVERNOR'S VETO IS PROBABLE
Malarkey Minimum Wage Act Passed
by House With Only Three
Against
It
SALEM, Feb. 11. (Special.) Al
though delayed until tomorrow, prac
tically a decision was reported on
the road situation today, when the
Senate decided to lay on the table
the Question of house amendments
to the county bonding road bill to
be taken up tomorrow when members
of the Ways and Means Committee
return from a visit to the' education
al institutions.
The House sacrificed the leading
principles of the Hurd bill to obtain
harmony and their amendments which
came to the Senate today asked only
, that the Barrett Senate bill be label
ed the "Barrett-Hurd" bill and that
the Kellaher amendment eliminating
the chance of county courts to use
i patented or copyrighted pavements
be substituted. The substitute pro
' vides that the fullest and freest com
I petition be allowed in all bidding.
Barrett made a strenuous effort to
have the amendments agreed to and
the bill finally passed, but it was the
insistent demand that the bill be laid
over until the . return of the absen-
j tees and this was the decision arriv-
ed at. This will mean unless the veto
! of the Governor is intervened that
j the road situation in Oregon will be
; on a pure county bonding unit. The
i county courts after the people have
j decided the amount of bonds to be
! voted in any county, will have the sole
! power to dictate where the roads will
be constructed. There seems the re-
motest possibility of the bill losing
in the Senate, but at the same time
i there is a lively probability that it
will be vetoed by the Governor.
The Malarkey minimum wage bill
was passed in the House today with
: only three members voting against it.
The bill passed, is the one drawn as
a compromise between employers and
child labor investigators at a confer
ence before the Senate committee on
industries.
