New Yrk, Jan. s-Envy for the

treasures which caused Isaac Fink
elstein to make mole of himself, did
not involve any others in the miser-
able fate the misguided man met as
the patiently dug tunnel caved in and
killed him The end of the tunnel

stopped just where the falling earth
shattered Finkelstein's visions Of
wealth and crushed out his life.
Whether the death burrow after
unearned riches had help in his task
may never be known. Tracing of the
tunnel from the cellar where the tun-

Great Rivalry For The Honor
OF Reaching The South Pole
TONs THAT OE EXPEDITION rs NOW


New York, Jan. 8.-A race for the
south pole with England, France and
the. United States all struggling to
reach the goal from different sides
of the earth, is now promised as the
result of an announcement today that
all American Antarctic expedition is
under way under the auspices Of the
National Geographic society of Wash
ington.
Never before was there sv-h an in
ternational fight for Antarctic fame.
Until Peary planted the stars and
stripes at the north pole. this country
had never been regarded as prob
able rival in the search for the earth's
southermost point The danger. how
ever, that American hands will raise
the same flag at the south pole which
already waves at the north pole ts
now acknowledged by Britishers, is
adding to their desire to get to the
southern goal with all possible speed.

where within the Antarctic zone by

1908. Nothing has been heard from

in London that the British govern
ment stood ready to advance 100000
for the expedition to be commanded
by Captain r. -. Scott, veteran Ant
arctic traveller. Lieutenant Ernest O.
Shackleton. who reached the most
southern point on January 8 last. is
also preparing to head a party which
will follow Captain Scott.
1t also appears that three of Peary's
most efficient men will be leaders in
the search for the earth's southern
pole. They are Captain Robert Bart
lett who sailed the Roosevelt to Cape
Sheridan and who commanded the
supporting party which was the last
to leave peary in his polewartl dash;

OHers for Roosevelt.
In the belief that sufficient funds
Will be Forthcoming for the purchase
of the Roosevelt, several offers to buy
the ship for commercial purposes have
been refused by the Peary Arctic club:
The ship was built especially for polar
work with Il huge fiat nose which
enables her to break the ice. Mem
bers of the club feel that it would
be sort of sacrilege to permit her
to be turned into all ordinary shin
of commerce. She is i'll the t,ast
river at the foot of Twenty-fourtll
street.
Although special secrecy was main-
tanned by the officials Of the National
Geographic society it was learned
that all of its 100000 members are to
be asked to contribute to the expedi.
tion. The work is likely to start at
once as the British and French arc
making preparations for their expedi-
tions.

STOCKS DROPPED
IN WALL STREET
Presidents Message Accentu.
ated an Already Declining
Market

New York, Jan. S-Nearly all active
stocks declined in Wall street yester-
day after the publication Of the presi-
dents message, but the decline SEEM
ed to be rather a coincidence than
a sequence, for stocks had begun to
fall In the forenoon, and there was
no visible accentuation of the down
ward movement in the closing hours.
The street as a whole professed to
be favorably impressed, but such
comment as was made was perfoce
perfunctory, inasmuch as there has
been such wide consultation and such
free preliminary discussion of the
message that it's recommendations had
been largely discounted in advance.
What most pleased the street was
the assurance that corporations re-
specting the law need not fear for
the future. In view of the presidents
declaration in his recent western date
even minority holdings by one rail-
road in the stock of competitor, the
milder phrasing of the message which
recommends that no road be permitted
in the future to acquire" the stock
of competitor was commented on.
Opinion on the advisability of fed
eral charter was divided, some holding
that it is the only solution of present
difficulties and some that it would
only accentuate them.

Open WAR DECLARED BY THE PRESIDENT
IN THE SUMMARY DISMISSAL Of PNCH0T
Official Washington Is Living Over Smoulderne Volcano
AS Not Known How Far the Beheading Process May
Extend-Iext of Presidents Letter of Dismissal

washington, Jan. S.-Gifford Pin
chot, chief forester of the United
States yesterday, is a private citizen
today, apparently unconcerned and
smiling, in great contrast to the po-
lit,cal ferment in which Washington
finds itself. The summary dismissal
conveyed last night in the presidents
letter In closing lines, "by your own
accord you have destroyed your use
fulness as helpful subordinate of
government and it therefore now be-
comes my duty to direct the secre-
tary of agriculture to remove you
from your Office as forester" has
brought nothing from MIR. Pinchot
more than the simpler statement. 81
would perfer to say nothing at this
time" But political Washington al
most trembles to think what may be
result. Pinchot today in the. opinion
of many, becomes pivet on which
the insurgent fight with the adminis-
tration can turn it's guns. The effect
Of Pinchot. the personal friend OF
theodore Roosevelt and head cham
plon OF the Roosevelt conservation
policies. being ousted from the official
family of President Taft is another
phase of the coniectures which fill the
air. The effect OF Pinchot's dismissal
upon the congressional investigation
Of Secretary Ballinger and the land
Office is another. In the ominous
silence which fell on. the whole situa-
tion following the first bang after the
cabinet meeting at the white house
yesterday afternoon, many Of the poll
tical forecasts are the unmistakable
signs of a great tempest within the
Republican party. There is only one
conclusion upon which all are unani-
nous. That is that there is a great
fight on hand. one which the presi-
dent has sought to avoid, for the
present at least, and in forcing it at
this time by the dismissal Of Pinchot,
the presidents supporters maintain
that Taft has considered all the
probable effects and consequences
and has decided to see it through.
Within a few minutes after the
president had instructed Secretary
Wilson to remove Mr.. Pinchot from
office, the order had been carried out.
Similar letters of dismissal were
sent at the same time to Associate
Forester Overton W. Price, and AS
sistant Law Officer Shaw, the two
men whom Pinchot defended in the
letter to Senator Dolliver, which was
the cause. or one of the contributing
causes of his dismissal.
Pinchot was at his Office early this
morning. He promptly entered upon
the closing up of his work and ex-
pected to have a very busy day. To
all appeals for further statements re-
garding his dismissal by President
Taft, he merely smiled his declination
to contribute further to the news on
that subject. Throughout the bur-
eau of forestry there was feeling of
alarm as to what might become of the
organization which had been to such
a large degree the work of the late
chief forester. All of the officials of
this department who occupy places of
responsibility were personally select
ed by him. Whether or not there will

and that the speaker was in no way
concerned in it's preparation. In fact
he was personally glad to be relieved
of the responsibility of naming the
investigation committee which could
only bring him criticism from one
side or the other, it was said.
Representative Norris of Nebraska,
the insurgent author of yesterdays
amendment taking away from the
speaker the right to name the in
vestigating committee, had no doubt
that the vote of the house showed a
lack of confidence in Speaker Can

is that the members of the house do

said. personally 1 had no interest
in the controversy in which Secretary
Ballinger and MIR. Pinchot are in

er should name this committee and
thus prejudice in advance the inves-
tigation in favor of one of the prin-
cipals in the affair. The majority of
the house took the same view. It
was vote of lack of confidence in
Speaker Cannon and cannot be con-
strued any other way"

The reform of the house of lords

speech of Lord Lansdowne at Liver

that there never had been a campaign

their opponents language, which,
however, was not a symptom of a
