ROOSEVELT FOR SOUTH POLE
Pearya Hints at His Choice of Leader
jfFor the Expedition.

PearyaHints at His. Choice of Leader
ifFor the Expeditions.
Commander Robert e. Peary. discov-
erer of the north pole. referred to Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt the other day
in connection with the antarctic ex-
petition which he has proposed in a
way to indicate that he believed Colo
mel Roosevelt should be chosen to lead
the venture which has for it's object
the discovery of the south pole. Com
mander Peary spoke of Colonel Roose-
welt as being familiar with the situa-
ton confronting antarctic explorers
and gave him credit for sympathy
with the proposed movement. He de-
clined to say positively whether he
meant that he would like to see Colo
mel Roosevelt at the head of the ex-
petition.
Commander Peary made it clear that
he himself would not take part in the
south pole hunt. He said that he
could not interfere with any infer
ence drawn as to whether Colonel
Roosevelt should lead the movement
and added that he was not authorized
or entitled to select a leader and that
all he could say was that he (Peary)
would not lead it.
Commander Peary said also that now
was the psychological moment for the
proposed dash to the south pole. 1t
was the only time. In fact. he said. He
declared that all that was needed were
$4,000 and the right man to lead and
the southern pole was won. E!e re-
ferred to the vast amount of informa-
ton in regard to the antarctic region
that would be available for polar en-
thusiasts. much of it being informa-
ton which had been collected by him
self in his twenty-three years of north
polar effort.
1T will be crying shame for the
United States and the American peo-
pie to lose this magnificent opportunity
which offers itself to them" he said.
"a year from now our chances will
be deprecated so per cent at least. if
not more. Two years from now they
will disappear entirely. With $4,000
ready the expedition can be put into
the field by the beginning of next fall"
Commander Peary said he had in his
possession letter from Captain Rob-
ert F. Scott, the British explorer, in
which the latter said that the British
antarctic explorers would do nothing
to impede any American expedition,
but really would welcome it.

WESToN's SEA TO SEA TRAMP
Veteran Pedestrian Expects to Finish
Long Walk In Ninety Days.


Long Walk In Ninety Days.
With seventy years to his credit and
still displaying the sprightly step of a
youth, Edward Payson Weston, the
best known pedestrian in the world,
will start at Los Angeles, Cal, on his
next transcontinental walk on Feb. 1,
with New York as his goal This will
make the second time that Weston
will have walked from ocean to ocean,
and he expects he will be able to ac-
complish the $500 miles in ninety
days.
On March Is of last year the veteran
walker started from New York city
to walk to San Francisco in 100 days.
Billiards. and unlocked for impedi-
ments to favorable progress held him
from completing the distance in the
scheduled time, the trip taking 104
days and hours. He figures that the
handicaps which interfered with him
then will be overcome by taking a
more southerly route and reaching the
neighborhood Of New York when there
will be no snow banks to pillow through.
According to his schedule, he will ar
rive at the city hall in New York city
ON May IL.
Following his usual policy, Weston
will do no walking on Sundays, taking
this day for rest after a week of
hard walking. In view of this he will
make Monday record breaker for dis
lance, and the schedule shows through
out that he will do greater amount
of walking Monday than on any other
day. His longest trip laid out for one
day is May 16, when he will cover a
distance of seyenty-four miles, from
Rhinecliff to Ossining, N. Y.
The first stage Of his journey after
leaving Los Angeles will be along the
route Of the Atchison, Topeka and San
ia Fe railroad. During this part of the
journey he will be accompanied by a
handcar, which will carry his provi-
sions, this being necessary owing to
the sparsely settled condition of the
country. This aid was accorded to
the aged pedestrian through the cour-
tesy of President Ripley of the Santa
Fe railroad.
Weston takes with him a letter from
Mayor Gaynor of New York to the
mayor Of Los Angeles, and commit.

TO TEACH CHILDREN FARMING
Experimental PIats Planned For Me-

Experimental Plats Planned For Me-
braska District Schools.
"The Nebraska farmer win find his
future increased yields of corn and
wheat In cultivation rather than in Sc
lected seed" said W. r. Mellor, secre-
tary of the Nebraska state board of
agriculture, the other day at Lincoln,
Neb. Because / believe this ! have
recommended to the state board a
plan of establishing an experimental
station on every county farm and, in
addition, the establishment of an ex-
detrimental plat adjoining every district
schoolhouse.
'The large. well equipped expert
mental station does good work, but it
does not get close enough to the farm
er. If his children come home from
school full of the experiments worked
out on the adjoining plat the farmer is
bound to take notice and to incorporate
these new ideas with his work. As
soon as that is done we win see larger
crops. We are near the limit Of in
crease depending alone on seed quail
ity. Some scheme of more practical
education now is needed may draft
bill for the state legislature embody-
ing these IDEAS"
Secretary Mellor's theory has Great
ed much comment, being opposed di-
rectly to the scheme of most educators
which aims at the establishment of a
few experimental stations in the state.

equipped. Some knowledge Of agricul-
ture would be required of teachers un-
der the proposed plan. Provision for
training of teachers along this line
would be included in the proposed leg

LINcoLN'S WAR SUBSTITUTE.

Monument Planned For Pennsylvania
Who Served For Martyr President.
The soldier who fought through the
civil war as the personal substitute Of
Abraham Lincoln will have statue
erected in his honor If a bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the purpose, pre-
scented by Representative Palmer,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, is passed.
The substitute was ]. s. Staples of
Stroudsburg. Pa, and it is there that
1t is proposed to erect the statue.
In the little burial grounds at
Stroudsburg a small tablet today
marks the resting place of Staples,
bearing on it's face the inscription:
Here lies the body of j. Summer
field Staples, representative recruit of
Abraham Lincoln"
In 1868, when the fortunes of the
Union cause were at their lowest ebb.
it was decided by President Lincoln
and his cabinet that they should send
personal substitutes to the front as an
example to the country. Lincoln di-
rected his adjutant general to choose
for him as a substitute "as nearly a
perfect man, physically and morally"
as could be found. The adjutant gen
eral saw young Staples on the streets
of Washington and explained to him
the presidents proposition. Staples,
then eighteen years of age, accepted
instantly and was taken to the White
House to meet the president.
With Lincoln's benediction, he en-
listed in the Second District of Column

until the close of the war.

COURT DECISION
MUOOLES POLITICS
Rehearing Of Cases Against
Trusts Severe Blow to Ad-
ministration Plans.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-From
its dignified height, the Supreme
Court of the United States has tipped
q pebble into the pool or politics.
This is the after day reflection CT
Republicans here, following the courts
decision yesterday to grant a rehear-
ing in the tobacco ana Standard Oil
suits. OF necessity this postpones
final determination or these cases a.
we'll as of the Sherman antitrust
law itself, until some day after the
elections next November.
The administration had banked on
the certainty of securing a favorable
decision In its two biggest trust bust
ing attempts.
Yesterdays decision leaves the cases
UP In the air, and the final outcome
Is by no means certain. The trusts
haven't yet busted. and nothing can
be done in the way Of enactment OF
more drastic antitrust law until the
Supreme Court passes on the present
statute.
