COPENHAGEN. May 2. The Danish naval captain, Godfred Han sen, companion to Amunasen ana second in command of his 1920 Arctic expedition on tho sloop Gjea, today expressed the opinion that Amundsen would not attempt to land at the Norm- Pole, but" would drop the Norwegian flag there from his flying boat. - Captain Hansen said he thought Amundsen's chances of success de pended entirely on weather condi tions, and his gasoline Bupply. He said thut undoubtedly tho most favorable possible time had been selected for the start ot the flight, but evYjn with tho best of luck, he believed the expedition would have very little gasoline surplus. Should Amudsen be obliged to land near the North Polo. Captain Hansen said he would probably at tempt to proceed to Capo Columbia on Grinncll land, northwest of Greenland, and fn that event -would havo to remain thoro for a year. because the crossing from Cape Columbia to Greenland Is over an extremely difficult and dangerous part ot the Arctic sea, with much open water.

The sheriff's office, with the con fession of the" two men In hand and with tho cvldenco of their robbery In their grasp, ..acceded to the re fluent of tho Tiool room proprietor that the two men be not sent to Jail. Sheriff Hawkins this morning said that tho reason for his action was that the robbery did not seem, of such importance to warrant prosecu tion and also because the two rob bers were young. "One of the boys was a friend of the pool room owner nnd ho did not want to appear against them",' the sheriff said. s ; , According to reports received here today the two young men have dis appeared. . In point of value of merchandise taken, the robbery" was one ot the most serious that has taken place in this county for several months. ; The goods stolen were valued at $262.60. Entrance to the pool room was gained by cutting a hole through the plaster wall. Seven watches, one diamond ring and two. Jack knives were stolen. The robbery was reported Thurs day morning to the sheriff's, office and Deputies Fred Snyder and Lon Burke were sent to the scene ot the crime. Questioning of employes of the Algoma Lomber company unarthed certain convicting circumstances that pointed the finger of suspicion at Moody and Powers. , ' . Tho first inkling as to their guilt became evident when Moody turned pale at a remark of Snyder, that the robber could be located through finger prints. Snyder, noticing Moody's nervous ness, demanded to be taken to Moody's room. He found trousers with plaster on the trousers legs and a coat with plaster marks on the shoulders. After a short, grilling Moody and Powers admitted their guilt and es corted the two officers up the Southern Pacific track whero the loot was hidden. Everything stolen was recovered. According , to Snyder, tho pool h room proprietor stated that he would not liko to havo tho. matter go further, inasmuch as ho had his property returned. EUGENE. Ore., May 23.
