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.

tion Details.)

AGE SEVEN
'Do you want me to read tho
death warrant to you now?" War
den Dalrymplo asked Peure Just bo
Core he was taken to the execution
i-'hamber.
"No, no," said the old man,
"give your timo to something muru
valuable."
Peare requested that his body
be cremated, and this will be done
in tho state crematorium at the
stato hospital near tho prison.
Covell left a request that hia body
be turned over to M. E. ilecht of
Portland, for cremation or ' any
other disposition. M. E. Hecht is
believed to be a woman belonging
lo the same cult ns Covell.
Among those who witnessed tho
executions were Peter Culver,
brother of the man slain by Pearo
and Drs. T.T. Manzer of Seattle,.
Earl V. Morrow and Earl Smith
of Portland and R. L. Edwards and
W. B. Mott of Salem.
Governor Pierce late yesterday,
after listen-lug to a delegation
from Portland that asked commu
tation of the death sentences . to
life imprisonment, refused to ex
tend clemency to Covell and Pearo.
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.
