details of the movements of the expe
dition after its members had aban
doned their vessel, the Ferzog Ernst,
September 21, 1912.
The extracts In some places are In
complete and almost incoherent. They
say:
"The proposal to abandon the ship
came from Captain Ritschel at the be-
jrinnlne of September. The vessel men
had provisions for four months, be
sides a large supply of conaensea
fj. mnA ah was otherwise well
equipped.
ProTlalona la Hat Exhausted.
"The nartv started for Advent Bay
V and reached a hut on Wljde Bay on
October 4. Ir. Rudlger. the oceanog-
I rapher, was suffering then from a
I half-froxen foot, two of his toes bc-
ing in bad condition. I offered to re
main with him there until the omers
rouM bring: back help. The hut con
tained a month's provisions.
-Dr. Rudiger and I were without
tools, sleeping bags or lights. I melted
some fat and made lights and fash
ioned some sleeping bags from salted
skins which I found In the hut. tr.
Rudiger'a foot became worse and there
were no more bandage materials.
"The provisions ran out and we left
the hut November 13. hoping: to regain
the ship. We suffered severely, hav
ing nothing to drink, but we finally
reached a hut on Mossel Bay. where we
found some hard and moldy bread.
Stars Arc Oaly Guide.
"We remained there three days dur
ing a storm and then started again for
the ship, guiding ourselves by the
stars. We arrived at the ship on De
cember 1.
"Dr. Rudlger meanwhile had suf
fered greatly, two of his toes and four
fingers having been froxen. while his
foot became so bad that it, had to be
amputated.
"The guides and sailors of the expe
dition returned unexpectedly to the
ship December 24. reporting the loss
of Eberhart. They had no news of Dr.
Dettmers or Dr. Moeher. the botanist.
They said Captain Ritschel had gone
on alone to Advent Bay.
"Stave died February 24 and the Nor
wegian relief expedition commanded
by Captain Staxrud appeared April 21."
The expedition started last Summer
under the patronage of the Duke of
Altenberg with the object of finding
the nearest passage.

Vice-President Marshall called on the

discussed with htm the tariff and its

stated that the conference was infor
mal and bad to do with the handling

floor.
I rerr Daty Affects Cottoa.
Discussion of the tariff ou raw
Ivory proposed In the Underwood bill
before the Johnson subcommittee dis
closed an unusual situation. Repre
sentatives of cotton exporter In pro
testing against the proposed 20 per
rent duty on tusks, declared It would
break up their barter trade in cotton
with African tusk dealers. For years
they have been shipping thousands ot
dollars worth 6f cotton to these
African traders and bringing back In
payment therefor Ivory tusks, which
they in turn sold to piano manufac
turers. It was asserted that with a
duty on Ivory Italian cotton traders
would get this business.
"andment of the bill In regard to
the Importation of feathers was also
considered by Senator Johnson's sub
committee. Importers asked for a fur
ther exception in the prohibition
against Importation by allowing the
Importation of the feathers of game
and pest birds. They also suggested
that the prohibition be postponed un
til the President should proclaim that
England. Germany and France like
wise had forbidden importation to
those countries.
Bird Lovers Oppose Action.
Representatives of the association
for the protection of birds opposed
both amendments. Edward Howe For
bush, state ornithologist of Massa
chusetts, declared that the Importation
of game and pest birds would mean
the letting In probably of all birds of
plumage with the exception of the
humming bird. Other bird lovers
pointed to the unsuccessful attempt to
eradicate pelagic sealing . by Interna
tional agreement as a warning against
an attempt to protect birds by inter
national agreement

Mla Agnes Pltchford.
ROSEBURO. Or, May 22.
(Special.) It requires something
out of the ordinary to stand out
prominently in a crowd, such as
is gathered here to attend the
Strawberry Festival, and Miss
Agnes Pltchford, local agent for
The Morning Oregonlan, has sup
plied the necessary novelty and
gained that effect by appearing
on the streets In an attractive
white suit on which were impres
sions of printed type, cartoons
and other features common in the
printed news, giving the appear
ance of having been made of
newspapers.
Across the yoke of the garment
were ribbons, of lighter material,
and on which were printed "The
, Morning Oregonlan." The outfit
was the cause of a great deal of
comment and attracted much at
tention. A high silk hat and
while shoes completed the cos
tume. Senator Williams' subcommittee is
still considering the anti-dumping
clause, which provides for an extra
duty not to exceed 15 per cent on im
ports sold here at less than the for
eign price. The criticism of the pro
vision is that It omits the free-list
articles from this penalty duty and the
committee is inclining to the opinion
that it should be amended to Include It.

of Circular in Answer.
THOMAS IS PERSISTENT
"Money Power" Declared Capable of
Anything When It Has Made TTp
Its Mind TTtahn Blames
Conditions In Europe.
WASHINGTON, May 22. Senator
Smoot today presented to the Senate
records of the American Bankers' As
sociation to answer the statement
made by Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
several days ago that the cause of
the panic after the passage of the
Wilson bill In 189S was the calling of
loans by the bankers of the country
to secure repeal of the silver purchase
clause of tne Sherman law.
Senator Thomas had read an un
signed circular and a magazine ar
ticle which asserted the circular was
issued at the time by the American
Bankers' Association, urging bankers
to retire one-third of their silver cer
tificates and call one-half their loans
to bring about a money stringency.
Circular la Repudiated.
Senator Smoot read a letter from
Fred E. Farnsworth. general secre
tary of the American Bankers' As
sociation, in reply to a letter written
him immediately after Senator Thom
as made his speech in the Senate. Mr.
Farnsworth declared the circular re-

ferred to by Senator Thomas was a
"fraud and a dastardly attack upon
the American Bankers' Association and
the bonkers of the country." He sent
a copy of the records of the American
Bankers' Association's proceedings for
the year 1893 and 1894, wherein ap
peared an original repudiation of the
circular referred to.
From this record Senator Smoot read
that the bankers' association had its
attention called to the circular at the
time of the panic: that It was unsigned
and dated on Sunday, and that It had

sociation. The records also snowec
that the circular had been declared
fraudulent at a meeting of the exec
utive committee of the bankers' as
sociation.
Thomas Reiterates Belief.
ReDlvIner to the denial. Senator
Thomas declared he had read the
charge published in a reputable
American magazine 15 months before
he made his speech and that In all the
time since Its publication he had never
seen the statements denied by repre
sentatives of the American Bankers'
Association or anyone else. In his
speech to the Senate this week. Sena
tor Thomas said he had attempted to
show that the panic of 1893 had begun
long before the Wilson bill became a
law and that It -mis promoted by
bankers who wished the silver pur
chase act wipe off the statute books.

He continued to declare bis belief that
banking Interests were responsible for
the panic.
"Does the Senator himself believe
that the American Bankers' Associa
tion sent out such a circular?" asked
Senator McCumber.
Smoot Blames Europe.
"I never said so," said Senator
Thomas.
"I will ask the Senator if he be
llves the circular was issued by any
responsible authority?" said Senator
Smoot.
"Yes," said Senator Thomas. "I
think if the money power In this coun
try makes up Its mind to accomplish
a purpose it will resort to almost any
thing." Senator Smoot declared that condi
tions in Europe were largely responsi
ble for the panic of 1893 and added
that If the same conditions existed
there today a repetition might be ex
pected. PROJECT HALTED FOR TIME
