AMUNDSEN GOMES
OH LECTURE TOUR
Explorer Arrives From Tacoma
at 7 A. M. and Leaves
for Astoria.
COOK'S CLAIM IS REFUTED
Contemplated Trip to Far Xorth De
clared to Be for Purpose of Get
ting Scientific Data on Air
and Water Current.
Captain Roald Amundsen will arrive
from Astoria at noon today. Tha dls
corrrtr of the South Pole, navi
gator of the Northwest Passage, ex
plorer of Greenland and first officer
of the Belgium Antarctic expedition
1197-JJ. spent an hour In Portland ye
terday morning;, arriving; from Tacoma
at 7 o'clock and leaving at 1:10 A. M.
He was dressing when the train ar
rived and a reporter of The Oregonian
railed on him. A fragrant odor per
meated the atmosphere of the car. It.
was from a beautiful basket of roses
and carnations which the Sons and
laughters of Norway had presented
their distinguished countryman in Ta
coma the night before.
Samuel Oracle, a young Irishman who
Is Captain Amundsen's business man
ager, was the first to appear. He gave
a brief account of Captain Amundsen's
lecture tour. The explorer will speak
at the Hciltg Theater at 1 o'clock to
day. He also - recalled that Captain
Amundsen had met Dilhjalmur Ste
phansson. discoverer of tile "blond Es
quimaux.' on a train In Ontario, and
that Captain Amundsen had said that
he had not seen any of the blond trlba
when he spent four years exploring
the Northwest Passage, but the limited
territory which they occupied Is held
as the probable reason.
Taxlrak) la Rejected.
On alighting from the train the taxi
cab drivers vied to carry him. "No.
no," he replied. "I lilie to walk, for
I am used to exercise. I always walk
whether at home or abroad: the trains
are too confining for me. Take my
baggage in a taxlcab. My manager
will look after it."
Captain Amundsen was in excellent
humor, commenting on how well he
felt and answertna questions without
hesitation. He la 63 years old. but does
not look to be over 40.
-When do you stsrt for the North
fo'.T' he was asked.
-July. 1914. from San Francisco in
the Fram. the ship I used In the Ant
arctic regions and which belonged to
Nansnn. I will have about IS men In
the crew, practically those who were
with me In the Far South: two of them
snadn the four-year trip through the
Northwest Passage In the GJoa. which
I also used around Greenland, and
which Is now in Golden Gate Park,
San Francisco. I will take provisions
and other supplies to last seven yeais.
The Fram Is now at Buenos Aires, and
is being partly outfitted there."
-What Is the object of your trip to
the North Pole and what Is the scien
tific value of such an expedition?"
rnpetr rwle o Oentlnatloa.
"I am not goinsr with the intention
of reaching the North Pole, though I
mav go to the pole. 1 am going to
siuUv tlie water and air currents In the
Arctic Basin and will drift in those
waiers. I have purchased two hydro
planes which I will use and which will
enable me to see a great distance. I
will also take sleds and IS Esqulmo
dogs from Nome.
The scientific value of the geo
graphic role is nothing. The msanetlc
pole. l:oo miles away, which I at
tained on the GJoa. Is of scientific value.
The purpose ot the. trip is to get a
belter geographical knowledge of the
far north regions and a atudy of the
water and air currents will be of scien
tific value.
What suggested making the trip
through the Northwest Paassge?"
"Whalers and others had attempted
the passage unsuccessfully. It was
known through records made by vari
ous sledge explorers that there was a
channel all the way If it could be found
and the possibility of navigating It
laured me to try."
trait's Valor Landed.
"Were there any minerals at the
South Pole?"
Thera Is eoal near the Soul i Pole,
but I saw no gold."
"What Is your opinion of Captain
Robert Scott and his expedition?"
"My opinion of tott could not be
higher. The fart Is that men will eat
shoe'leather an3 such things before
they will die from starvation. The fact
that the party had some provisions
a hen thev died makes me think that
scurry killed the brave Scott and his
men.'
-What do you think of Cook as an
explorer? Who discovered the North
Pole?"
"I do not car to hurt anybody's
feelings, bnt as Conk has quoted me
publicly as substantiating his claims,
it is my duty to reply that we cannot
take him t kj seriously. He Is a fraud.
Robert E. Peary discovered the pole.
The former had no proofs and the lat
ter had."
The North Bank station was reached
hy this time and Captain Amundsen
boarded the train with t ie remark. "I'll
soon be lack In Portland."

LIBERTY CASE WAITS
Hangs Court Decree.
ASKING FREEDOM
Mrs. Mav Wilson, 2 64 East 51st,
Must Tell San Francisco Judge
Her Version of Marriage Said
to Have Been Forced on Her.
Described in court proceedings at San
Francisco as "a large, awesome wom
an," Mrs. May Wilson, 264 East Fifty
first street, Portland, has been called
upon by Judge Graham, of the San
Francisco Court, to answer to a charge
made by her l-year-old daughter.
Pearl, that the girl was virtually forced
into a marriage with a man for whom
she did not care.
On Mrs. Wilson's answer hangs the
court's decision of a divorce suit in
which Harry L. Lister, known here ss
Harry Lisston. is seeking his freedom
from Pearl.
The opening of the case in San Fran
cisco recalls a Portland-episode which
culminated last month, when Mrs. Wil
son ran Lister to earth at El Centro.
Cal., simultaneously with his arrest on
request of Constable Weinberger, who
held a warrant charging a statutory
offense. The warrant was withdrawn
when the mother, successful In her
quest, telegraphed to her daughter to
join her in Los Angeles to become the
brida of the hunted man.
Stepfather Takes Action.
Complaint was filed with the Dis
trict Attorney by Lee Wilson, a paint
er, stepfather of the girl, and whlie
the necessary papers were being pre
pared Mrs. Wilson set out on an un
official hunt, which led her to San
Francisco.
At that place she picked up a new
trail leading to El Centro, and arrived
there Just after the Constable, pur
suing an independent search by tele-
i. v. j ..k.d T.fKtor' arrest. It
was given out at that time that Lister
had consented to a marriage to avert
extradition and furnished the money
to pay for the transportation or ma
bride-elect.

court, a few days ago, a new phase
