INVESTIGATORS FIND LITTLE.
Legislators Ursbis TO Unearth Any
Scandals at institutions.

Lc9tstotoFo ON6pf0 10 OUcaFtU Any
Scandals at Institutions.
Lansing. Mich, April 5.--Three in
vestigations of state institutions have
been pulled off this session OF the leg
islature. and not one of them is to show
anything wrong. The first was the
Investigation of Marquette prison and
Warden Russell. always the goat for
such affairs. The majority of the COM
mittee which has Investigated this in
stitution will return a report to the
effect that the Legislature has nothing
to interfere with there. A minority OF
the committee will make some radical
charges against the conduct of the
prison. but the temper of the house
appears to be i'm favor of forgetting
some of the petty criticism that has
been hurled toward Marquette.
Since the committee went to Mar
quette, a brother OF the warden, who
has been employed there. has resigned.
He was one of the causes of criticism.
and once the warden In the heat OF
passion remarked that IL his brother
left he would.
The second investigation was that of
the Michigan state fair This COM
,mittee had before IL all sorts of char
ges. But il is said these have failed
TO develop anything of importance.
Il Is possible some recommendations
may be made for the future conduct
of the fair and some abuses of minor
nature may be corrected.
The third near-scandal was in rela-
tion TO the Kalamazoo asylum. II
was charged that all sorts of extrava-
gances were being INDUCED in there
and that the board members were in
violation of the law selling material
and supplies to the institution. The
committee which has Investigated
these charges find them to be without
much foundation and II Is said the re-
port of the committee will exonerate
the board members and the officials OF
the institution.

EXCITING RACE
FOR SOUTH POLE
CAPTAIN SCOTT or BRITISH Ex.
petition FINDS AmUNp-
SEN ALREADY ON
THE GROUND.

London. April 5.-Startling news has
been received from Captain Scott. the
British explorer, who is seeking to
reach the South Pole. There is a COM
petitor in the race I'm the person OF
Amundsen, the Norwegian, whose past
record makes him a doughty rival
SCOTS ship, the Terra Nova, has re-
turned to New Zealand after landing
sledge parties on the ice. she brings
message from the captain himself and
from his second in command. Lieut..
Pennel.
The latter relates how he found In
Iceland bay the Fran, Amundsen's
ship, and the Norwegian party, fully
equipped for the journey to the south
pole. The plan of the British exped-
tion now is to separate into two par
ties which will go south toward the
pole by different routes. Thus here
is every prospect of a race south
wards between two British and one
Norwegian party. This new develop
ment adds enormously TO the excite
ment of Captain Scott's enterprise.
Sir Ernest Shackleton, writing in the
Daily Mail on the race, says that the
news received is interesting i'm more
senses than one. From the telegram
he is somewhat at a loss to decide de-
finitely on two most important points.
According to the message, Captain
Scott landed at Cape Evans, fourteen
miles north Of the Discovery's winter
quarters and about eight miles south
of the Shackleton expedition He says:
IL know OF no Cape Evans i'm this To-
cality and can only suppose that VIM
ter quarters were established on one
OF the islands about eight miles south
of our winter quarters. Scott's idea
of establishing a depot In the far south
is an excellent one. 1t appears that
the Terra Nova followed the great
barrier until a gale from the southwest
forced the ships head toward Cape
Colbec. This statement is not clear,
as a gale from the southeast would be
a dead ahead wind for Cape Colbec.
The ship evidently was stopped by a
heavy pack, which is the same condi-
ton of ice that | found on my expe-
dltion In 1907 when she then returned
along the barrier edge until she
reached the bay of Whales. In w. Ion.
164 deg.
Chances of Scott or Amundsen.
"lf Amundsen starts from a point
eighty miles farther south than Scott,
his journey to the pole will be shorter
by that distance; If he decides to go up
Beardmore glacier, he will have to en-
counter the same difficulties as Scott.
/ should expect him to go by Beard
more glacier Scott will undoubtedly
follow my route. Both men are ex-
perienced. Captain Scott has the ad-
vantage, to my mind in his equipment,
being well supplied with motor sledges
and ponies. But against this must be
set the hereditary knowledge of skiing
and handling dogs that the Norwegian
possesses. Ice conditions will be much
the same for both. Amundsen win
tered in the sphere of Scott's expedi-
tion and Scotts plans were fully an
nounced before departure. One of
Scotts parties is wintering in the
area which DIR. ID. Mawson, the Aus
tralian explorer, who will shortly start

Japanese Competition,

What concerns the public most is
who will get to the pole first and 1 for
one consider 1t a moot question. Per-
sonally, 1 want to see the British flag

months frost bitten cold and hun

Further surprises may still be in
store as the japanese Antarctic expe-
dition left Wellington. New Zealand,
last month, enroute to the south pole,
having sworn an oath to get there or
to die. There are many who expected
them to have appeared at McMurdo
sound by this time, and so there is
every possibility of four different ex-
petitions being within the same quad
rant at the same time later in the
year.
