At TTORNEY IS
REbUKED BY
JUDGE
MRS. KVALSHAUG'S ATTORNEY
is CALLED TO TIME BY
JUDGE EASTERDAY-PROG-
RESS IN TRIAL SLOW.

Only one talesman was passed
for cause this morning in the trial
of Martina Kvalshaug, charged
with completely in the murder of
her husband. The only other
talesman examined was excused.
AT the rate the examination pro-
gressed today the jury will not
be completed this week.
During the examination of j.
B. Leman, who was excused, Judge
Easterday called Attorney Kelly
to order with a sharp rebuke. The
judge had denied Kelly's challenge
and refused to hear argument.
Kelly insisted that the record
show this. While he was speak
ing, Judge Easterday broke in, his
face flushing as he raped for or
der.
"Mr. Kelly, your remarks are
entirely uncalled for"
The attorney submitted a Wash
ington code which the Judge per-
used while Kelly and Burmeister
INDUCED in side play.
81 think the court understands
the law in this matter" said Bur-
meister.
81 don't doubt that he does, but
! don't think the prosecuting at
torney's office does" replied
Kelly.
That's what l have always
thought" replied Burmeister.
Kelly, you're a big four-flusher."
THANK you," replied Kelly.
After reading the code and ques-
tioning Leman the court reversed
it's ruling and excused the tales-
man.

During the examination of

compares tnuS:
"You can take your ship and
establish your base of supplies
nearer to the north pole than to
the south. But after you're
started with your sledges in the
south pole region you can estab-
lish caches more easily than up
north. In the Arctic regions your
caches are likely to float away;
in the antarctic region you are
travelling over vast continent of
over 100000 square miles.
"As you near the north pole the
winds are not so violent as the
winds about the south pole, nor so
cold.
"There are no animals to be
shot near the south pole as there
are in the north pole region. But
near the south pole we travelled
over level plateau, and If there
had been a mountain at the south
pole we could have seen 1t, SO
near were we to IL ana SO leVei
was the ground. The north pole
explorer has to travel over rough
and Jagged ice.
"You see the problems of the
south pole hunter are very differ
ent from those of the man who
seeks the north pole.
eff we had only had SO pounds
more of food, we would have
reached the pole. There were
four of us and we had got down

make the pole with our food sup

(By a Staff Correspondent of the
United Press.)

ROME, April Theodore
Roosevelt, angered by the pub
lished statement of DR.. B. M. Tip
pie, head of the Methodist college
here, today called off a public re-
.ception he had planned. which was
looked upon as taking the place of
a formal call by Roosevelt upon
the Methodists.
Roosevelt declared that the
statement of DR.. Tipple was an
unwarranted attempt to launch a
secrarian controversy. He ex-
pressed himself as greatly dis
pleased by the statement of the
Methodist leader.
The reception cancelled by
Roosevelt was to have been one
of general scope in which all per-
sons in public life would have par
ticipated. Neither nationality or
creed was to have been regarded
by Roosevelt and the function
would have had the effect of visit
to the Methodist college.
The Vatican incident had wor-
ried Roosevelt more than anything
that has arisen in his public life
for many days.
"You fellows have carried
enough of this to set me right
with my friends at home, haven't
you he anxfously asked a corre-
spondent of the United Press.
When assured that every feature
of the incident had been carried
fully, he said:

understand the situation and all
the determining causes"
