EXPLORING EXPEDITION
ON ITS RETURN HOME
British Steamer Discovery and Relief
Vessels Arrive at New Zealand
From Antarctic

LYTTLETON, New Zealand, April l.
The British Antartic steamer Dis
covery and the relief steamers Morning
and Terranova arrived here to-day.
The relief ships, which left Hobart
December 5. reached the Discovery
February IA and found all the members
of the expedition in excellent health
and spirits. Scientific work was con-
tinued by the explorers throughout the
winter of 1908. They established the
fact that the interior of Victorialand
continues at a height of 5000 feet and
is evidently a vast continental plateau.
A new route west was found, and a
depot was established 1000 feet up the
glacier.
Captain r. F. Scott, r. N, of the
Discovery says the winter of 1903 passed
pleasantly and that the members of
the expedition enjoyed much greater
comfort than in 1902. Sledging opera
items began in September, under severe
conditions, owing to extremely low
temperature, which frequently fell to
so degrees below zero. In November
one party reached a point $50 geo
graphical miles southeast of the ship.
There was no trace of land and evil
dence was obtained showing that this
was a vast floating ice plain.
Captain Scott, with another party,
made two excursions westward in Oc-
tober over a glacier. They gained the
summit October IL and crossed the
magnetic meridian October 20 in longi-
tude 1861 east. Proceeding still west
ward the party reached a point 270
miles from the ship, in latitude 70
south, longitude 1852 east. The in
terror of South Victoria is evidently a
vast continental plateau. The glacier
valley affords magnificent scenery and
gives natural geological section of
the mountains.
I'm the middle of December the party
attempted to cut a canal through the
ice, which was frozen from seven to
eight feet thick. but the effort was
futile, owing to constant refreezing and
the party desisted. The open water
was then seventeen miles from the
ship"

DR.. Eduard Meyer, the great German
historian, is rather more pleased with
America and Americans since he has
seen them close at hand than he was
when he got his impressions from read
ing about them in books and newspa-
pers in his own native land. Ameri-
cans are not the worshipers at the
shrine of the almighty dollar that he
had always fancied and there is real
intellectual and spiritual breath in the
atmosphere of their country. All this
and great deal more he said this
morning from the platform in Harmon
gymnasium while addressing a thou
sand students of the University of Cali
fornia- Here are some of the things
DR.. Meyer said:
In my visit to this country was most i'm
pressed by the energy of the men who consti-
consider everything but my attention was at
tracted to this one thing. 1t is but fifty
Coast and less than forty years since the first
railroad was built here. yet there is here
great civilization. This entire movement was
great conquest for civilization.
When went to Chicago 1 saw great city
erected what was once a waste of country
and 1 crossed the continent 1 passed In
Vulnerable cities springing out of this vast
area. II / could come in forty years from
now am sure 1 would not recognize the same
territory. Where there are now forests and
deserts there will be great cities, giving
livelihood TO millions.
1t is the general impression in Europe that
in the United States the dollar reigps SUI
preme; that the materialistic atmosphere Is
predominant 1 do not hold that view
and can refute the impression when 1 return
home.
You are not strangers to idealism. You have
perfect gentlemen in every American city and
your idealism is sound and solid. It makes
life worth living here.

Mrs. Jennie Turnbull this afternoon
gave two policemen the laugh and es-
capped from a rear window of her room
at the Windsor Hotel, Ninth and
Washington streets, while the officers
waited outside with search warrant
to look for jewelry. She had been
charged by r. Derosa with having
takenla locket which he highly priced,
and upon her refusal to give 1t up he
went to the police station and swore
out a. search warrant. When Policemen
Sill and Murray, with the warrant. ar
rived at. Mrs. Turnbull's residence they.
found the door locked. Mrs. Turnbull
wanted to know the mission of the
men. and they explained it to her. She
told them that they would have to wait
until she dressed, and while they wait
ed the woman went out of the back
window and away. When the room
was finally entered Mrs. Turnbull was
missing.
Mrs. Turnbull occupied room No. 20
in the hotel. Her window opened upon
an areaway twenty-five feet below,
which leads to the street. Down the
side of the house there runs a pipe,
and stepping out onto the window sill
she was able to reach the pipe and slide
to freedom.
The Iocket was found hidden in the
top of an oil stove after the policemen,
with the assistance of the hotel land
lord. got into the hastily vacated apart
ment.
