NO WORD FROM POLAR PARTY (Continued from page one) any land he may discover as Nor wegian territory. New York, May 22. Scientists and laymen the world over today were speculating on the possibil ity that the second party of white men in history might have reached '.be north pole. If so, ft would be tho first time the daring feat has been accomplished by airplane. The North American Newspa per Alliance announced yesterday afternoon that Captain Mould Amundsen and five companions in two Planes had hopped off from Kings Hay, Spitsbergen at 5:15 p. m (1:15 a. m. Eastern stundard time). Previous advices to the Associ ated Press said the flight of GS0 miles to th pole would require nl least eight hours, but that the ex pedition might be gone several days in caso landings at or near tho pole for observation were found feasible. The take-off was effected after months of careful preparation, ag isted personally and supported fi nancially by Lincoln Ellsworth, New York engineer and explorer, who Is a member m the expedition. Doth pianos were equipped with 'leighs and with skils and were fully supplied with emergency provisions sufficient for one month. They nlo carried suffi cient guns and am mu nit ion for killing game In Greenland. Despite the precautions, the ex pendition is of the most hazard ous nature. A forced landing might put the men afoot hundreds of miles from an accessible post of rescue. At least they would be far from the two ''mother ships,' the Farm and Hobby, which were left behind nt Kings Bay. The pilots are both experienced. Previous advices said Amundsen was to ride behind Lieutenant Iteuser Larsen, while Ellsworth would bp navigator of the machine piloted by Lieutenant Oskar Orn dal. The expedition waited for favor able weather at Kings Hay since April 13. M, HesaolDcrg, director of the O:;to, Norway, meteorologi cal station, made minute olwerva (Ions. Tho report yesterdny must have been so favorable that Amundsen decided1 to hop off. Tho Amundsen-Ellsworth pole dftsh started the first of throe flights this summer. The All- -American McMillau-nnvy expedi tion two two planes, is scheduled tosturt June 17. next month also a British expedition under Grettir Algarsson, a young Icelander, in tends to make the attempt in a "blimp" or non-rigid airship. DUPLICATE WORK ; COSTS STATE MUCH (Continued from page one) reveals no clear distinction. The college has encroached upon the university's field of higher com merce, or business administra tion, and offers the excuse that it Is simply rounding out the course of study for the students major ing in commerce. The university, on the other hand, offers nn al most complete ( undergraduate course in commerce on the ground that it is necessary in the prepa ration of students for graduate work. It would appear logical and economical that the school of commerce at the college and the school of business administration be combined at either Corvnllis or Eugene, and duplications be confined to work In elementary business training serving as serv ice courses for majors in other departments. In journalism the university offers 2D courses designed for pr -fessionat education. The college offers nine courses and excuse them on the ground that they con stitute necessary training for stu dents in technical departments who wish to be equipped to write Intelligently on technical sub jects for trade and professional publications. The excuse is weak under analysis. Editing and pub lishing are professions in them selves and are in no manner do pendent upon technical knowl edge along other lines. The pub lication of a newspaper, or even x trado paper makes no call upn the publisher for any such knowl edge. As service courses the only journalism classes at the college which are in any manner justi fied are the principles of newt; wiiting and others related to tao preparation of matter for publi cation. Detailed nnd glaring instances of the wasteful duplication is contained in tho schedules ot courses in economy taught in the institutions. Without taking any of the elementary work in eco nomics into consideration, where some duplication may be excused, we find both schools teaching the following advanced subjects: Labor problems, money and hanking, public finance, transpor tation, employment management, and business cycle. Other appar ent duplications uro also seen in tho detailed explanation of courses which are listed under different title in the dllfuretit schools. While extended work in the fine and liberal arts and in tho lan guages is supposed to be confined to the university, the course of study of the college offers six courses each In French, Spanish and German ranging from elenieu tary work to advanced study. English at the college is design ed to bo confined to the tunda nn dials nnd in the nature of serv ice work, yet tne following ad vanced branches of study arc list cd in its catalogue: Hi-owning. English drama, short story, Shakespeare, overlapping study of poetry and the poets, and advanced European, American and continental literature. What instructional costs inci dent to all of this duplication may be there Is no moons of determin ing, but it cannot be denied that it adds materially to the required number of Instructors.

EXECUTIONS GREWSOME IN EXTREME (Continued from page one) ed of the crimes for which they paid the penalty.

The delegation was headed by Dr. Evangellno Wood as spokesman, and others present were H. Her mans, I. Lease and L. D. Ma hone, the latter an attorney. "I have given long and con scientious study to the cases ot Arthur Covell and L. W, Peare, :;aid the governor's statement. "I have read the testimony and haye studied tho cases from every angle. Each of these mn was tried by a jury in the county where tho crimes were committed, and each was found guilty. An able and impartial judge presided. Bo tit cases wore appealed to tho su preme court o the state of Oregon and the decrees of the lower court wore affirmed. The mandates of our courts should not lightly bo r.et aside. All the elements of first degree murder uppear in each case. I can find nothing to justify tho extension of executive clemency." The two condemned men accept ed the governor's decision philo sophically. Peare had expressed a wish that tho governor would commute Covell's sentence.
