CHICAGO. May 9.-Coal mined on the
northern edge of the territory within
the Antarctic circle could save the
world the terrors of fuel famine, in the
opinion of Lieutenant Sir Ernest Henry
Shackleton, who holds the record for
penetrating farthest south. having
gone within III miles of the south pole.
Shackleton declared today that he
believed a tract of land at least 4,000,-
900 square miles in area and rich in
coal deposits exists within the Ant
arctic circle. 1t is. his ambition to ex-
plore this undiscovered continent. He
will not seek the south pole, he de-
clares, for he believes that Captain
Robert Scott, the English explorer, who
will sail for the south the first of next
June will find it.
Shackleton's future expeditions will
be in quest of the immense coal fields
which he feels certain exist On his
recent trip of exploration he noticed
frequent outcroppings of coal on the
land over which his expedition travelled
Il am positive that there is still a
continent which has remained undis-
covered" explained the lieutenant.
and on my next expedition, which
may start within year, / hope to be
successful in finding it. On the land
over which my former expedition
passed we noticed frequent outcrop-
pings of coal deposits. and 1 have
every reason to believe that coal is
hidden in large quantities there. If
such is the case. discovery will work
wonders in the alleviation of the
worlds fear of coal famine, as l think
the product could be mined success

Statehood Bill Discussed

In the first place, the bill grant
ing statehood to New Mexico and
Arizona passed the house some
months ago, but it is still pending
in the senate.
Objection was made to the bill
as it passed the house in regard to
certain provisions as to elections
which disfranchised Mexicans not
speaking English. who had there
tofore. by reason of length of resi-
dence, acquired under previous
laws the right of suffrage. There
is some adifference. too. between
the HOUSES as to the provisions
made in respect to the public
lands and the payment of the debts
of the territories.
There is a hesitation on the part
of the republicans in the senate to
pass a bill which is so likely to
add four democrats to the senate,
or, if not democratic, republicans
of that radical type that are en-
tirely out of sympathy with the
more conservative notions of the
east.
Still there is a promise in the
platform, distinct and clear, that
this bill shall pass, and 1 am very
anxious that the party shall meet
its obligations in this regard and
enact the necessary legislation I
do not think 1 shall be disap-
pointed

Conservation Bills Necessary

interest in water power sites, coal
lands, oil lands and phosphates.
are not in a very advanced state
The conditions are such as to
make imperative in the interest of
conservation the passage of only
one law. That law has passed the
house and | am very hopeful it
will pass the senate. 1t ratifies all
the Withdrawals of public land
heretofore made, amounting to up
ward of 60,O00,000 acres. and it spe-
cifical1y empowers the president to
make other Withdrawals when he
desires to ask congress to pass
laws varying the existing laws for
the disposition in class of public
lands.
The absolute necessity of this
act arises from the very grave
doubt as to whether the reservation
of 60,000,000 acres of land, if sub
jected to the test of legality in the
courts, could stand.
1t is a very grave question
whether the executive has the
power to thus make reservations
merely to avoid the disposition of
the land under existing congress
sional enactment; and there are
those in the west who, taking ad-
vantage of the doubt in question,
and, assuming the Withdrawals are
without authority, are stalking out
claims with view to testing their
validity in the courts.
Should the courts hold that the
executive authority has been abused
in this regard. then it will leave
the public domain in mess. For
