English Pride is Stirred and
Scott Will Go for the
South Pole.
by United Press Wire.

London, Sept. England's pride,
stirred To its depths by the discovery
Of the North Pole by Americans. to-
day took material form. and within
few hours after Captain Robert
Scott of the discovery expedition,
announced he would find the South
Pole. If 100000 be subscribed 10
equip the expedition, the money had
been found.
While Captain Scott prepares his
men and expedition, throughout all
Of England there is the gravest con-
cern lest DR.. Charoot should appear
from the South Polar regions and
claim the honor of having been the
first white man there.
The English did not take at all
kindly to the fact that Peary sent
Captain Bartlett back with sup
porting party before the pole was
reached Peary kept Bartlett, a
British subject wit hhim, as the last
white man, until he had exceeded all
previous "fartherst north" records,
and then ordered Bartlett back
The English papers declare they
accept this as no compliment avowing
that England Is not used to being
second in the ntld OF human endea-
vor They admit the fact that be-
tween DR.. Cook and Commander
Peary there can be no doubt that
the Stars and Stripes have been
nailed to the North Pole, and they
ask anxiously this morning II the
French flag of Charoot, the English
jack, or the American Stars and
Stripes arc first to be nailed to the
South Pole.
The answer was instantaneous IN
a few hour~ the necessary 100000
was forthcoming.

KEPT INTACT
Harriman's Will will Not
Distribute His Vast
Estate to Heirs. n
nx united press wire.


New York, Sept. 1.-THE will OF the
late Il. II. Hartman will be fled
some day this week, probably on
Thursday. One copy of the will VIII
be probated at Goshen, New York.
and the other In New York City. II Is
said, today. 1t is believed the VIII
is one of normal nature, appointing
a board of trustees into whose hands
the entire Hartman estate will be
placed for the benefit of TIE heirs.
Financiers who are well acquainted
with Harrimans wishes believe that
with the exception of the Arden
property, the entire estate will be
kept, under his orders, by the trus-
tees.It is said the Arden estate is
left to Mrs. Hartman for her use
during her life time, and that the
trustees are ordered to continue the
work of making 1t one OF ne most
magniflcen esates in he world.
In some quarters 1t is believed
that former Judge II. s. Lovett and
Charles A. Peabody, Harriman's per-
sonal lawyer but now president OF
the Mutual Life Insurance company
viii be two of the trustees for the
Hartman furune. Wall street Is doing
considerable guessing as to the val
ue OF the Hartman estate. 1t has been
estimated as high as S200,000,000,
but conservative men, remembering
that while Hartman represented bill
lions, he was not so vastly wealthy
himself. place the value at s5O,O00,0OO
and declared this is a high, estimate.
II is known that Hartman left 81 900
zoe in life insurance, and with the
exception of his sister. Mrs. Simons.
Iof whom he was very fond, 1t is
thought the majority of this cash will
go to his wife and children.
