Chicago, Feb. 12. Stirring tribute to
tha memory of Captain II. F. Scott, po

members of his party In Antarctic

In this, my first and only signed
Statement regarding the superlatively
berolc death of Captain Scott and four
companions, I wish lirst before I

bow before the grt-nt character of my,
'Companion discoverer. Captain Scott
left as a monument a record of a man
as Bincere, modest and honest as the
world has ever seen a greater record
than any mere "discoverer" could hope
to equal. Scott, Inslend of nssumlng
too much, took rather too little credit
'for himself, lie seemed content sim
ply to verify my findings. All of this,
too, although ho reached the pole only
a Mttlo more than a month later.
"Tho latest news we beard of Scott
und his party was in April 1912. It
came from those returning on tho
Terra Nova. They had left Scott and
four companions in latitude 87 degrees
3 minutes south. It was reported they
had brought back all the dogs, leaving
'Scott without traction power. This
meant the men were forced to haul the
sledges and provisions. This our par

trust their carriage to human beings.
Dogs hold out after man's strength
lias failed.
"What circumstances resolved Scott
to undertake to transport his own
sledges la not known. His reason
must have been a good one, for he was
an experienced explorer.
"Immediately after setting up his
flag at 1he pole and verifying my find

started up from the world's end to
wards home, civilization, friends, glo

the bright horizon of hope and longing,
came the shadow of defeat and per

supplies owing to the fact that they
themselves were dragging the loaded
sledges. Captain Evans of the Terra
Nova was stricken with scurvy a few
days after his return. This shows
that tho gerniB of the dlseaso were
present. Scurvy, Inconcolvable cold
and low provisions then began their
deadly work. One of the men finally
fell exhausted. There were no dogs to
pull him on tho sledges. The other
four men, themselves suffering terri

drawing him across the snow. Tho
burden was almost too much.

''At last tho truth must have reach

AT 1 CAFETERIA
And They Tend U Show You Oun't
Tell the Size of a Person's Ap
petite by Their Look.
In order that those Interested in the
art of dieting and to bo Informed as to
what people patronizing down-town
eating places eat, a Journal reporter
yesterday took up a convenient posi
tion In tho coi ner of tho local cafete
ria and made notes of the person, the
grub etc.
First entered a man weighing about
245 pounds. lie languidly selected his
hardware from tho counter and then
looked aimlessly over the viands
spread heforq him. "Gcmme some o'
that and a leetle bit o' that," says he.
I'hls Is what he selected: One small
lHiato and an olive with a feeble-looking
piece of pie us a chaser. Then a
slightly built young woman entered.
"I want this pud this and this and this
and a whole lot of that and a cup of
cofl'eo and plenty of bread ami butter.
She probably weighed about 118 Vz
pounds hut the order she gave nearly
overcame her strenp.li when she at
tempted to carry tho truy. The big
man left half of his small potato and
merely gazed forlornly at tho olive,
paid for his meager faro and departed.
When the young woman departed,
her tray and the dishes coatained
thereon appeared as though some one
had waBhed them with twenty-mule
team borax, as not one crumb wsb left
and she pertly flopped down the
change and walked out with a very
satisfied and comfortable mien.
Then came the nervous little man
with a longing for only a wee bite. He
took a few spears of celery; a piece of
cako; a glass of milk and a toothpick
and within five minutes after entering
the door, had paid for his fare and
gone. Following came a big strapping
fellow with neither too much fat nor
too much lean clinging to his heavy
bones. Ho waded Into the grub like
a cub bear Into a bee hive and his bill
totaled $1.40. Coming up to the reg
ister he first paid his debt, whittled a
toothpick out of a match and strolled
out with the air of a man who enjoys
himself and every one about the prem
ises Immensely.
All manner of appotltes are display
ed at tho cafeteria and It Is amusing to
note thd wide difference, and decided
distinction.
COUNTY CLERK BRINGING
ORDER OCT OF CHAOS
County Clerk Geblliar la assembling
his different departments, so to speak,
In his main office, and now has the
clerk of the circuit court and the files
within human reach.
For year's tho clerk's office has been
a veritable Chinese puzzle to those
who desire to search the records on
file. To locate an article pertaining
to tho workings of tho different de
partments of tho circuit and county
courts, one was compelled to engage
the services of an experienced sleuth,
or borrow some one's "noun' dawg."
and then the wanted Information could
not be found until about every pigeon
hole and drawer in the office had been
ransacked.
The present Incumbent, to eliminate
this Inconvenlonco has removed the
circuit court records from the cham
bers on the third floor, to bis office on
the second floor, and has so arranged
hlB files that It is no troublo at all to
find things. The desks and cases are
so arranged as to make the office more
sightly, while tho clerks are allotted
more convonlent quarters In which to
work. It Is the aim of the county
clerk to so revise tho filing system In
tha office as to give more efficient ser.
vice to the public and at tho same time
keep account of nil tho business trans
acted without the unnecessary search
ing ror papers. It is his wish that ev
ery one having occasion to uso tho
records or flics, will replace same
where they got them. In this way,
when those having business In the of
fice desire, they can be waited upon
with dispatch and order.

the vicinity of the 20 above mark and

Mr. Zlnn and party went for an

account of the snow driving even the

party reading the sporting magazines
and cleaning their spotless guns.
A few strollsf?) were tak?ji In the
vicinity of tho camp, but the members
of the party soon gave up this pastime
owing to evory little broeze dislodging
a big riiow ball which Invariably fell
down their coat collars.
Nevertheless, Mr. Zlnn declares his
appetite was improved by the trip and
Insofar as tho snow was concerned, he
didn't sea any that he would want as
a life companion.
The Campaign Grows In Interest
Tho most successful meeting in tho
campaign thus far was held at the
First Christian church last night.
There was an unusually large audi
ence, and four more persons respond
ed to the invitation to unite with the
church, three being by confession of
faith in Christ. The evangelist deliv
ered a strong sermon on "Tho Thief
on the Cross.' He was saved by the
direct word of Christ, who promised
to meet him in Paradise. We today
are promised salvation by coming In
to Christ's kingdom and being loyal
citizens," said the evangelist.
A male quartet pleased the audience
greatly by singing a gospel melody.
Tonight Kvangellst Abberley will
speak on "What is Salvation?" The
ordinance of baptism will lie adminis
tered by Rev. Davis Knelt at the close
of the service.

HIS CURE TO A TEST
Turns It Over to Finest of German
Chemists Will Try for Flnlej's
Million-Dollar Offer.
(UNITED PIIEBB LEASED Willi.
Berlin, Feb. 12. Answer to skeptic
al persons who have asserted openly
that he was afraid to put his alleged
tuberculosis cure to the test, was
made here last night by Dr. Frederick
Franz Friedmann, who announced he
had turned over his discovery to the
German government. Dr. Friedmann
followed this up with the declaration
that he would Bail for New York Feb
ruary 18 to demonstrate the efficacy
of his euro and claim the $1,000,000
offered by Charles K. Flnley, presi
dent of the Aetna National bank, with
certain provisions.
Friedmann returned here yesterday
from rrankfort-nn-the-Mnin, where he
turned over his remedy to Dr. Paul
Kbrlich, who lias charge of the gov
ernmental experimental laboratory
there, for investigation. This action
by Dr. Friedmann has effectively si
lenced the trndueers, who have an
nounced their Intention of remaining
silent until the worth of the discov
ery Is settled by Dr. Elirllch, one of
Germany's foremost chemists, and the
discoverer of "(106," a positive cure for
blood polsonB.
Flnley offered Friedman $1,000,000,
provided his remedy would effect 95
cures out of 100 tuberculosis suffer
ers whom he would subject to the
treatment. Friedman Is confident of
winning the reward.
PHILIPPINES WILL
HATE INDEPENDENCE
rjHtTSD rasas UAsan wim.
Washington, Feb. 12, Philippine In
dependence Is now assured. The
speech of Representative Jones, of
Virginia, in behalf of his bill granting
a provisional government for eight
years and complete Independence
thereafter bos aroused bo much dis
cussion that a fairly complete canvass
of house sentiment was made possible.
The Democrats stand with their na
tional platform and with President
Wilson In favor of giving up the
American military occupation of the
Islands. The senate may delay the pas
sage of the bill, but It will go through.
The Philippine nationalist delegate
in congress, Quezon, Is overjoyed with
the prospect. Ills colleague, Eara
shaw, recently, chosen from the same
party, will be on hand in March, and
It Is probable that special delegations
of influential men from Manila and
other points of the prospective new re
public will journey to Washington to
add their pleadings when the bill
goes to the senate.
Representative JoneB' measure has
the earnest support of Representative
Curry, of New Mexico, a Republican,
who formerly was chief of police In
Manila, and who Is said to be ac
quainted with more Filipinos than any
other American.
However, many experts may testify
on one sldo of a case just as many
and as expert exports can be found to
testify quite as possrtlvely on the oth
er side.
