The army and has arrived in New eaiana no ports that he succeeded in reaching latitude 88.23, within 111 geographical miles of the South pole. This was done after a sledge vayage of 1.708 miles, a record for Antartic explora tions, although not a record when compared with some of the feats ac complished every winter by Alaska mushers. The expedition, as a matter of fact, reached 354 miles nearer the pole than the previous expedition on the Discovery, in which Lieut. Shack leton participated. As a feat, this ranks among the very first in the matter of polar research, and the scientific results accomplish ed by the expedition also place it among the most successful in modern times. The southern magnetic pole was reached and located by a separate party from that which made the long er voyage, and its location was fixed at about latitude 73 degrees 20 min utes south and in longitude 146 east, by observation. This in itself makes the expedition noteworthy. When the fact is taken- into con sideration that the ice cap in the Southern hemisphere extends much further from the pole than is the case in the Northern, because it is colder in the Southern than it is in the Northern hemisphere, the magni tude of the work done can be better understood. The failure to reach the pole was due simply to the fact that j provisions were m danger ot exnaus tion and a return was inevitable- As it was, the expedition touched the danger point closely, provisions being completely exhausted twice a consid erable time before the caches were reached on the return vayage. Important contributions were made to geographical science as a result of this work, and a showing was made which warrants a belief that some future expedition will be able to reach the South Pole, following lines identical with those of the Shackle ton expedition.

Marshall in the Fed eral Court yesterday sustained the demurrer of the representatives of the estate of Edward P. Ferry in the suit for approximately $1,000,000 brought against this estate by the Michigan Trust Company. This decision of ludk'e Marshall practically puts an end to seven years of litigation orig inally brought in Michigan by some of the heirs of the late William Mon- taeue Ferry. Judgment m the amount of about $1,000,000 was grant ed the contesting heirs, and a suit on this judgement was brought in the federal court in Utah. The litieation is the result of a somewhat unsettled condition of the estate of William Montague Ferry, who died in Michigan some thirty years ago. William Montague Ferry was a pioneer resident of Michigan. On his death Edward P. herry. hi son, the father of W. Mont Ferry and E. Ferry of Salt Lake, were appoint ed executors of the estate. The lega cies of the late Mr. Ferry were paid by his son, and there was a residuary estate of $100,000 which it was alleg ed had never been accounted for. Through his representatives, Edward Ferry claims to have used this amount in the paying of his brother's debts and that he was authorized to do so by written assignments of the heirs. The brother for whom this $100,000 is claimed to have been paid is the Somehow Champ Clark has failed to remark to Mr. Fitzgerald: "You are no better than an insurgent late Thomas W. Ferry.

SPLIT ON COMMITTEES Usual Rumpua In CongTesa Over Dis tribution of Assignments. WASHINGTON. March 30-Much interest attaches to the auitmle of Senators Scott and F.lkins oi West Virginia towards distribution of the membership of the Senate Committee on finance because largely of its pos sible bearing on the taritf bill in the Senate. In the Republican caucus last Monday Senator Scott referred to the fact that none of the Republi can Senators from the South bad been given representation on the commit tee aud in the open Senate yesterday his colleague, Mr. ElWins. followed in similar strain. Mr. Elkins wai a candidate for a place on this commit tee, but he declared that this circum stance had had no influence in coior hi views. Both he and Mr- Scott assert that their criiicteiu are due to the fact that he Souh has been en tirely negleced. With the southern rvmoerat excluded from tne com mittcc room during the preparation of the bill, they declare that the mi- nno imprests of the boutli, mciuu- ing iron ore and the manufacture of irou and steel, cotton and its pr.mucis lumber and the various otlier inter ests of the entire secnon sum..

DREAM OF HOME It has been whispered in the inner circles of the national capital that Mrs. Taft is going to make the Whilte House a home. Can she? The White House is more or less the American palace, where state and formality are supposed to reign. The White House is always surrounded by guards or soldiers, and is kept, to a certain extent, open for inspection by the public. There is hardly a week in which some function doe not take place in this palace belong ing to a democracy. Home is a place where the lady of the house can push a hat-box under her bed if she so desires, or can hang her last winter's woolens out of the back win dow.' Home is a place where a clos ed door makes every lady autocrat of her castle. Home is a When such midgets as Servia and Nicaragua threaten to disturb the peace of the world, the disarmament idea appears to be stationary all along the line. Congress and the country are sur prised by the brevity of the presi dent's tariff message, and yet all is said in the document that seems es sential. MANY COLONISTS COMING CHICAGO. March 30.-As indica ting the heavy movement of colonist traffic this year, officials of the Harri man Pacific lines, including the Ore gon roads, estimate the volume to that territory this month and next month at 70,000 against less than 38.- 000 a year ago. The record bpring movement for colonists was in 1907, when 68,300 were carried west in March and April. In the first four days of March 1.262 colonists went west throuih Southern Pacific gate ways El Paso and Ogden as compar ed with 768 a year ago.

Near Death In Big Pond. It was a thrilling experience to Mrs. Ida Soper to face death. "For years a severe lung trouble gave me intense suffering," she writes, "and several times nearly caused my death. All remedies failed and doctors said I was incurable. Then Dr. King's New Discovery brought quick relief and a cure so permanent that I have not been troubled in 12 years." Mrs. Soper lives in Big Pond.

Champ Clark has been in Congress long enough to have known that in surgents are sure to find other insur gents to bite 'em. It was cruel in Mr. Fitzgerald, a Brooklyn Democrat', to put the lead ership of Champ Clark out of busi ness before it got fairly started.

One of the measures permits pro hibition territory to be created in residence districts by the filling of a petition with the city clerk signed by a majority of the voters of the dis trict. No action by the city council is neccsarv at present. The other bill is the result of the difficulty experienced in enforcing the law in the one thousand Illinois townships made dry last year under new local option law. Tc pro-posed act declares war on "blind tigers" and makes it less dif ficult than at present to procure convictions by permitting liquor taken in a raid to be used as evidence. Heretofore the prohibition forces have had to prve the illicit sale of liquor. STOMACH DISTRESS AND INDIGESTION WILL VAN ISH IN FIVE MINUTES.
