s.,royed the north wing OF Ryland Had

$4,000. has not reached n sufficient
amount TO make IL possible for them
10 continue their education.
In referring last week 10 this loss.

$4,000 would put them on their feet.
There were prompt and liberal re-
sponscs hut in some way the public

GIVES NOTICE OF ELECTION.
Supt. Cook Calls Attention to Vote
on County superintendent.

Superintendent George B. Cook is
sending out number of letters
over the state calling attention to
the fact That the county superin-
tendents are to be voted on this
year and urging that proper notice
of the fact be given before the an
nual school election. Following is
the circular:
Senate Bill No. 252 has Just
passed the House and will become
the law as soon as it is signed by
the governor.
This act amends the county SUI
perintendoncy law by adding to the
salary Of the county superintendent
the fees for examination Of teach
ers, as are now paid to the county
examiner.
This act further amends the
county superintendency law by
making the institute requirements
Just the same under the county SUI
perlntendent as under the county
examiner, making the flve-day June
institute uniform throughout the
state.
The question of whether or not
your county shall have a county
superintendent should be voted
upon this year at the annual school
election, this being the year before
the general election.
You should request your school
directors TO add in the annual
school meeting notices the fact that
county superintendency is to be
voted upon"

In FALSE LIGHT
SAYS ROOSEVELT
Labor Unions Injure Their Cause
by Rushing to Defense OF Men
Charged With the Los An
geles Times Explosion.

New York, May 4.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in the current num-
Der of the Outlook, discusses under
the caption, Murder Is Murder,
the Los Angeles Times dynamite
outrage. He says in part:
The question of organized labor
or organized capital or of the rela-
tions Of either with the community
at large has nothing whatever to do
with this issue. All we are now con-
cerned with is the grave and vital
question of fact whether or not the
accused men have been guilty of
murder and Of murder under cir
cumstances of peculiar foulness
and atrocity. Whether we do or do
not approve the policy of the Los
Angeles Times-and the Outlook
very heartily disapproves of its pol
/ icy on certain matters-has nothing
whatever to do with the question.
The stern repression of murderous
violence under circumstances of
such cowardly infamy as always
accompany the use of dynamite
must of necessity be prime need
of any civilization calling itself
such.
whether the man attacked is a
wage Garner or professional man
has nothing whatever to do with the
question; and whether the man at
lacking him does or does not be-
long to any organization, whether
of labor or capital, whether social
or religious, has nothing to do with
the question. The one and only
question is as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the man accused. Any man
who seeks to have them convicted
if they are innocent is guilty of q
crime against the state, and any
man who seeks to have them ac-
quilted, if guilty, is also guilty of q
crime against the state"

The Japanese Antarctic expedi-
ton, under the command of Lieu
tenant Shirase, left Wellington,
New Zealand, February IL. The OBJ
iect of the expedition, its leaders
frankly admitted was to beat the
world to the South Pole and there
by add to Japan a national glory
and also show up the other civil
lied nations which have started ex-
peditions for the South Pole.
Lieutenant Shirase and the MEM
bers of the expedition were sure
they would reach the South Pole
without difficulty. He said:
We Japanese possess several
special advantages. The distance
from Japan to the South Pole is
less than that between the pole and
any European country. The Jap
.anese do not require so much mon
ey as a Westerner. Westerners are
too apt to rely upon the efficiency
of machinery and spend too much
on their preparations. Finally, The

SOUTH POLE RACE IS ON
Amundscn's Norwegian Party Max
ing a Dash Over Antarctic Ice
Japanese Pole Party Failed.

San Francisco, May 3.--The re-
cent meeting on Antarctic shores OF
ROAD Amundsen, The Norwegian
explorer, and Captain Scott, head OF
the British expedition, was no sur
prise to either, according to a mes
sage received from Amundsen this
week by Henry Lund, Norwegian
consul general at this city.
The message stated that Amund-
sen had notified his rival from Ma
deira of his plans. The meeting of
the two at Whale Bay in Ross Sea
was very short.
Captain Scott paid visit to
Amundsen on the latter's vessel,
the Fran, and the following day
the call was returned aboard the
Terra Nova. Together they in
spected Amundsen's winter quar-
ters ashore. Captain Scott learned
that eight men Of the Fram's crew
were at the time establishing win
ter quarters about two miles in
land.
Amundsen's plans for reaching
the South Pole are revealed in the
letter. He informed the British Of
ficers that he hoped TO reach the
pole by way of Bedmore glacier.
He had ii6 dogs and enough sleighs
and skis to work his dogs in two
shifts.
Settled for the Winter.
Amundsen expected TO have all
his supplis landed and his winter
quarters ready for occupation a
few days after the Terra Nova left
for New Zealand. AS soon as he
was settled in his shore camp he
intedned to dispatch the Fran to
Buenos Aires, while he remained
with nine men to make his dash for
Farthest South. The vessel will re-

LOOK FOR CHRISTIAN SECRETS
Jerusalem Explorers Are Trying TO
Prove Truth of Resurrection.

London, May l.-Neither the for
eign Office nor the Turkish embassy
has any advices regarding the re-
ported trouble between the party
of British explorers excavating in
Jerusalem and the natives. 1t is
believed here that the explorers
are not endeavoring to find secrets
of Israel, but to find a manuscript
which will set at rest all doubts
concerning the resurrection of
Christ.
Before leaving the explorers said
they expected to find this manu-
script among the rock tombs which
honeycomb Mount NORTH. The sym
dictate financing the enterprise re-
ceived letters until month ago de-
scribing the progress of excava-
tons near the Pool of Sloan.
Since that time nothing has been

EXPENSIVE POKER GAME

Bangor, leveling almost forty build
ings, causing the loss of two lives

Der of men playing poker in Green's

hay at once burst into flames and
in a moment the interior of the
place was ablaze. The card players
