LONDON". Feb. -0. (Special Cable.
The story of the recapture an
" eack of Odessa Is one of the most
" terrible chapters in the history of
" bolshevism, says a dispatch from
1 f-nnstintinonle. The correspondent
Z declares that apart from the hor-
I rors of the massacre of thousands in
: the great city, apart, too. from tn
' Hisniav on an enormous scale of th
; utter disorganization and collapse of
" the left wing of Lenikine's army, the
iirf.nt u one that cannot fail to
bring home to all the conviction that
an complete and overwhelming
riiimnh for bolshevism in its wors
- nrf most brutally wanton form
' chanses the whole aspect of the prob
i,.m nf thA near cast.
' "It Is no longer merely a, matter of
" difficulty and delicacy." he says. It
lias become one of the gravest emer
. encies. An outline or the story
the last seven days, as told to me to
day bv an eyewitness who has just re
turned from the unhappy city. Is as
simple as it is significant. Odessa was
taken not as an operation 01 war us
the advance of the red army, but by
the unprovoked rising of hundreds of
the population.
Volunteers' Spirit Broken.
"These armed looters and murder
erg knew with whom they had to deal
knew that the spirit of the volun
teer forces in the city was entirely
broken. The insurrection could have
been handled by a resolute action in i
few hours. The insurgents knew reso
lute action was the last thing of
which the military officers of the vol
unteer army were capable.
"It may seem incredible, but enor
mous as have been the losses, chiefly
from typhus, among the rank and file
of the volunteer army, and so continu
ous the stream of unrequired officers
Into the one city of luxury behind
Denikine's line, that some 20,000 cf
the latter were present on Thursday.
In all that number not even a handful
was found to organize a defense
either of the wretched inhabitants or
themselves.
"General in Command Schilling was
among the first to leave the city. The
remainder of the officers looked on
helplessly as the looting of the de
fenseless city went on all day and all
night, and the so-called fighting,
which was nothing else than cold
blooded murder, made the-streets re
echo. It is rumored that a large num
ber of these officers of the volunteel
army paid for their lack of initiative
with their lives.
Borders to Clowe Affalnst Reds.
"A Ukrainian detachment, which
was the only force in town that pre
sented a semblance of discipline,
started to fight its way out toward
the Bessarabian frontier, and almost
certainly succeeded in doing so, for
It is reported that the Roumanian
staff has taken steps to close the
borders against the imminent menace
of bolshevism.
"All this time the quays were be
coming more and more crowded by
the never-ending stream of miserable
Inhabitants, pitifully demanding help
irom tne lirillsn warships Ceres, Mo
ttve and AJax. whose behavior
throughout in rescuing refugees was
beyond praise. British seamen reaui
sitioned at once every ship that was
in the harbor and manned an ice
breaker, without which it is probable
not a man or woman would have
escaped. In all about 12,000 were
taken on board and this was all that
couii! be done. The ships steamed
a ay. leaving many times that num
ber crowding the auavs and heiner
shot down by the machine guns of
me DoisneviKS.
Boys Try to Save Qoays.
"In all this miserable welter of in
efficiency and panic one or two in
sianees stand out worthy of record.
When it was found that not a platoon
of professional soldiers would under
take the defense of the quays, a num
ber of boys from ten and upward did
so in spile of continual casualties in
their ranks, which were scarce! tall
er than the rifles they carried. All
these boys were rescued by the
British. Another gallant action was
the cutting out of the ice and carry
ing away of two nearly finished Rus
sian torpedo boats. It should be re
membered that the arsenal and work
shops in which they were made have
r.ow failen into bolshevik hands and
constitute a permanent menace to
allied activity.
"Odessa has now fallen into the
hands of the red army, of which the
cavalry entered the place Monday
after a for.cd march from the Perc
kop anil Nicolaieff section. This is a
mere sketch of events at Odessa dur-
urn i.isi seven clavs. Of their
niiKuish and suffering no picture can
be drawn. Nothing ca undo the t
but the wretched affair has at least
served some purpose. If thcrebj
western Kurope is made to realixe
that only by aetion strong action,
immediate and steadily continued until
the end is achieved can the safety o(
the near east be guaranteed."

RAIL BILL TO PASS TODAY
(Continued From First Paga.)
to the re-establishn- ent of separata
agencies.
It is estimated that it will cost the
railroads $100,000,000 to restore their
old organizations so necessary for op
eration on a competitive basis. Many
valuable leases were Invalidated by
the scheme which was born of the
genius of William Gibbs McAdoo, to
throw all of the offices together as
a part of his plan to discourage any
return to private ownership. Some
will be able to regain their old leases,
but many will have to continue in the
combination offices indefinitely,
until other arrangements can be
made.
The traveling passenger agent and
the traveling freight agent, who have
been acting as hostlers in roundhouses
or flagmen at some suburban switch
will return to their old duties.
The public will be the first to feel
the change, because with competition
the clerk in the ticket office again
will ruah forward to welcome the
traveler, with a smile supplanting
that air of indifference which has
been hardening his face since some
time early in 1918. Mr. McAdoo's army
fare on dining cars will give way to
appetzing food and "service" will
once more be the slogan on every line
of transportation.

BLOOD
Thirty-Five Trans-fusions Fail to
Save Life of Rear-Admiral.
Naval Funeral Likely.
WASHINGTON", Feb. 20. Rear-Admiral
Robert E. Peary, retired, discov
erer of the North Pole, died here early
today after a two-year illness of per
nicious anemia, during which 35 blood
transfusions had been of no avail.
Sailors and attaches of ths naval
hospital, and many ex-service men
gave of their life's blood in the vain
effort to prolong the life of the coun
try's foremost explorer.
He will be buried in Arlington na
tional cemetery Monday with full
naval honors of his rank.
It was on the afternoon of Septem
ber 6, 1909, that the following few
words reported to the civilized world
for the first- time this crowning
achievement of three centuries of ef
fort:
'Indian Harbor, via Cape Bay, N. F.,
September 6. To the Associated Press,
New York: Stars and Stripes nailed to
north pole. "PEARY.
, Peary's actual attainment of tne
pole had been just five months be
fore, on April 6, 1909.
Controversy Is Recalled.
Whenthis dispatch came the world
was, quite unknown to Peary, already
praising Dr. Frederick A. Cook as
the discoverer. Only four days pre
vious to the Peary announcement,
Cook, who was on his way back to
Copenhagen on board a Danish steam
er, had telegraphed the claim that he
reached the pole on April 21, 1908
nearly a year head of Peary.
While Dr. Cook's claim did not go
unquestioned from the first, he had
for four days at least been widely
acclaimed as the discoverer of the
pole. With Peary's message there
arose one of the greatest controver
sies of all ages over the honor of
actual first discovery. There can be
no one who has forgotten the dispute
Peary s assertions were not seriously
questioned, but among newspaper
readers there came to be two great
camps, for and against Cook.
Peary with his record of seven
successful trips to the Arctic, his
official standing in the United States
navy and in scientific circles, easily
held the commanding position in the
controversy. But it was only after
the scientific bodies one by one had
sifted the evidence and pronounced
Cook's claim unfounded that Peary's
title as discoverer of the pole was
really won.
Fame Dearly Bousb.
The bitterness of this episode
only one item in the price which
Peary paid for the Immortal fame
that is now acknowledged to be his.
He spent practically all he had in
money, gave all that was in him for
hard work, and suffered all that the
human frame could endure from hun
ger, cold and disappointment. He
made eight journeys into the Arctic,
spent upwards of half a million dol
lars and several times he barely es
caped the death which in various
forms had been the fate of more
than 700 explorers before him.
The first step that led Peary to
ward the pole was taken in Wash
ington one day when he walked into
book store to browse and picked
up a fugitive account of Greenland.
He became an insatiable reader on
the subject of the Arctic,
He was then 30 years old. He was
born in Cresson, Pa., in 1856. His
father died when he was 3 years old.
and his mother took him to Portland
le where he spent his boyhood
roaming about Casco bay. He went
to Bowdom college, won fame there
as a runner and jumper, and stood
n the honor column of scholarship
It was a little later that he had gone
to Washington to work as a drafts
man in the eoast and geodetic sur
vey offices. He spent his spare time
studying civil engineering and passed
in that branch into the naval service.
He became Lieutenant Peary, U. S. N".
His first assignment was to the
tropics. He was a leader of the sur
veying for the Nicaragruan canal
route. It was when he returned to
Washington that he fell upon the
book about Greenland, and thereafter
virtually consecrated himself to polar
exploration..
Green la ad Expedition First.
Obtaining leave from the naval
service, he led an expedition into
the Press Club theater. The executive
committee was directed by vote to4 Greenland, to determine the extent of
house who had intended to oppose it
because of failure to incorporate anti
strike legislation. Their principal
reason for giving their support, is the
bill carries several good features and,
at leas, makes matters no worse to
the labor situation. To snd the rail
roads to private ownership on March
4 without the guarantee provision, it
is foreseen, would probably precipi
tate a panic such as this country has
not experienced in years, much to tha
liking of the radical brotherhood
leaders who would welcome anything
to discredit private ownership.
I aarranitilinc la Begun.
Already the railroads are getting
ready for the return of their prop
erties and almost every eity will see
signs of the new order of things in
a few days. The task of unscrambling
a big job, has started. The combina
tion ticket offices in all of the cities
make an investigation and report.
This action grew out of a detailed
explanation Wednesday by Attorney
Aaron Saphiro, one of the leading au
thorities on the Pacific coast in co
operative organization, of how the
California exchanges and association
had developed to business institutions.
The discussion of the subject covered
a period of a day.
Measures contemplated by this in
novation will include the building or
lease of a central cold-storage plant,
from which the fruit will be shipped
fiom time to time when the eastern
market is favorable, the orchardists
believing that they can retain the
profits from storage while at the
same time taking advantage of rising
markets after the cnop has been
picked, packed and stored.
RICH ORE DISCOVERED
10-Foot Vein Kcvealed on 30 00
Foot Level at Wallace.
SPOKANE, Wash., Feb, 20. (Spa
cial.) A 10-foot vein of silver-lead
ore was uncovered last nig-ht in the
east drift on the 2000-foot level of the
Hecla mine, according to a report
from Wallace today. Three feet of
the ore is high grade, and ths re
mainder a good- milliner grade, it is
said. This ore is on the original
Uecla vein and is not involved is the
present litigation.
The lowest working level of the
Hecla at present is the 1600. Sinking
on the shaft has been going on con
tinuously and last December ore wai
struck in the bottom of the shaft at
the 200-foot level.

Mrs. Lydia O. Baker, wiA of Harley
O. Baker, e-mayor of Salem, died at
McMmnville yesterday, according to
word received hers today. She was
53 years of age. Mrs. Baker bad made
her home at Goldendale, Wash., for
several years and was visiting at
McMinnville when stricken with in
fluenza. She Is survived by her hus
band and one son. Gilbert. The fu

this mysterious land. He determined
its insularity, discovered and named
many Arctic points which today are
familiar names such as Independence
Bay, Melwlle Land and Heilprin Land,
and in one of his later voyages lie
discovered the famous meteorites
which he brought back to civilization.
Oneof them-. weighing: f0 tons, is the
woil'der of visitors o the Museum of
Natural History in New York.
Between voyages Peary resorted to
the lecture platform to raise funds
for further exploration. In one in
stance he delivered 168 lectures in -6
days, raising $13,000.
On his sixth voyage, with the pole
in view, he had to prive up because
both of his feet became frozen. Al
though he had reached the most
northerly land in the world naming
it Cape Morris K. Jessup, at the top
of Greenland and had also attained
latitude 84.17, the northernmost rec
ord in the western world, he was still
in great despair. He wrote in his
diary:
"The game is off. My dream of 16
years is ended. I have made the best
fight I knew. I believe it was a good
one. But I cannot accomplish the im
possible." By the time Peary reached civiliza
tion, however, he had decided upon
still another trip. With the specially
designed ship Roosevelt, Peary drove
farther into the frozen ocean than
navigator had ever been before. On
foot he advanced until his record for
this seventh trip stood at 86.6, where
starvation and cold again checked the
party.
The explorer was 52 years old when
in July, 1908, he set out on his eighth
and successful kivasion of the Polar
region.
Captain Bartlett, the veteran navi
gator for Peary, shouted to Colonel
Roosevelt as the ship was leaving
its wharf at New York: "Its the pole
or bust this time. Mr. President."
The method of attacking the pole
was in five detachments, pushing
north in the manner of a telescope.
At the 88th parallel Peary parted
with Captain Bartlett, in charge of
the fourth detachment, and he with
one member of his crew and four
Eskimos made the final dash. They
covered the 135 miles in five days.
30 Honrs Spent at Pole.
Thirty hours from April 6 to 7
were spent at and around the pole
a great tract of frozen sea none of
the land which Dr. Cook reported.
The weather was cloudless and law-
1 less. The temperature ranged from
33 below to 12 below. Where open '
places permitted soundings, 9000 feet
of wire, which was all that Peary i
had, failed to touch the bottom. ,
When he got back to civilization
Peary was surprised to find such a
fierce controversy raging over him
and his rival. Dr. Cook, but he easily
established his claim before scientific
bodies throughout the world.
In 1913 he was promoted to rank of
rear admiral in the navy and given
the thanks of congress by a special
act. Turning his attention to avia
tion. Admiral Peary became a strong
advocate of aircraft development by
the government and time and again
urged adequate coast patrols in this
country, especially during the war.
A scientific and popular narrative
of his success he wove into a book
called "The North Pole," while his
other expeditions are described in de
tail in his, "Northward Over the
Great Ice," and "Xearest the Pole."
Peary's closing years were spent in
well-earned rest, living for a large
part of the time with his family of
three wife, daughter and son on
Eagle island, off the coast from Port
land, Me. Mrs. Peary was formerly
Josephine Diebitsch of Washington,
D. C, marrying the explorer in 1888.
She frequently accompanied r her hus
band on his northward jourriey, and
on one of these trips Marie Ahnighito
.feary was bom and bears the dis
tinction of having been born farther
north than any other white child in
the world. She is popularly known
as "the snow baby."
EXPLORERS PAY TRIBUTE
Peary Used Common Sense to Reach
Pole, Says Stefansson,
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Rear-Admiral
Peary's success in reaching the
north pole was due to his introduc
tion of common sense methods into
Arctic exploration, in the opinion of
Vilhjalmur Stefensson, Arctic ex
plorer, today.
"Admiral Peary's greatest contribu
tion to exploration was introduction
of common sense," he said. "Pre
viously more emphasis had been laid
on the heroism and tests of endur
ance developed by trips into the north.
Peary adopted methods of the "Esqui
maux, which were less dramatic, be
cause they reduced, hardship and suf
fering to a minimum. In that way
he traveled in comparative comfort
in the winter, the season found hard
est by his predecessors.
"I think Admiral Peary was easily
the foremost explorer who ever ven
tured into the north. Personally, he
was a charming man and the some
what hard and brusque characteris
tics attributed to him never were
found by those who knew him closely.
In his opinions he was decidedly
broad-minded and changed his views
considerably as time and expedience
came."
Henry Woodhonse, vice-president of
the Aerial League of America, of
which Admiral Per.ry had been presi
dent since 1917, and one of the board
of governors of the Aero Club of
America, on which the discoverer of
the north pole also had served for the
last six years, characterized Peary as
the pioneer in aerial navigation and
transportation and the originator of
the aerial co.ist patrol idea.
"In 1914 Admiral Peary farmed the
national aerial coast patrol commis
sion, which carried the development of
this project forward by leaps and
bounds," Mr. Woodhouse said. "It
resulted in establishment of the first
coast patrol unit with a seaplane base
at Huntington, L. I., followed by five
other units of 12 men.
"At the time the United States en
tered the war 1200 aviators were
trained at private expense through
Admiral Peary's enterprise.
"In 1915 Admiral Peary proposed an
aerial expedition to explore 1,000,000
square miles of unexplored Arctic re
gions which the war postponed."
A committee representing the Ex
plorers' club, of which Peary was
president until his illness forced him
to resign two years ago, will attend
the funeral, it was announced to
night. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arc
tic explorer and now president of the
club, will head the committee, which
v '11 include Captain Robert A. Bart
lett, who was master of Peary's ship
Roosevelt,- on which the successful
polar expedition started and returned

Ilenry P. Davidson Refutes Story
in London Paper That Firm
Will Enter Combine.
LONDON, Feb. 20. The promotion
of important financial and commer
cial enterprises is the object of the
present visit to Europe of Henry P.
Davison, of J. P. Morgan & Co., ac- i
corning to me xaii man uu-ene yes
terday.
Two plans are to be promoted by
Mr. Davison in EuroDe. the news
paper declares. The first is for the
establishment of a reat it.oney com
bine with the object of financing
great national and private enter
prises in Europ. while the second
is the establishment of a great inter
national trading company backed by
the resources of the aiorgan nouse
and the Guaranty Trust company.
Under the proposed plan, says the
newspaper, American panks would
enter a great money combine for
financing enterprises to supply neces
sities occasioned by the war. For
example, the newspaper explains, if
Belgium, France or Austria were in
search of means for rehabilitating
the concern would be able, purely
from a business viewpoint, to am
and encourage any sound enterprise
this connection.
The Gazette adds, it is stated, that
Dr. Davison has met with the great
est encouragement and welcome both
England and France.
The newspaper's story, however.
has not been confirmed from any
source, ana wnen me aucnuua oi
Mr. Davison's secretary was called
to it this afternoon, he enaracterized
it as "wholly unauthorized and in
many respects absurd."
Mr. Davison said last evening:
"Ordinarily I should pay no atten
tion to this and like articles, but
under conditions existing today, it
seems to me that the public would
be better served with facts. Happy
as I should be to devote myself to any
comprehensive plans which would be
In the common interest of Europe and
America, I am constrained to say that
statement No. 1 is entirely without
foundation. I have seen no one on
any financial plan and do not con
template doing so while in Europe,
for I have no such plan in mind."
Mr. Davison added tba statement
No. 2 probably was based on the
fact of the organization of the Com
merce Corporation of America, owned
by the Morgan firm.
