No doubt due to the fearful
wreck on the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroad at MONTE one day
last week, when a freight train
went through the rear end of a
passenger train, killing fourteen
and iDjuring as many more, the
Southern Pacific Railroad have
issued orders that no member of
any train crew shall smoke or
drink while on duty, and it is
later reported that trainmen shall
absolutely abstain from drink and
anyone seen entering or leaving
any place where liquor is sold
shall be discharged. We con-
graduate the road on the step 1t
has taken.

1t has been evident for many
years that the finances of this

is needed to move our tremendous
crops, currency should be SO re-

The quest for the latter has been
through great fields of open water and
floating ice, whereas the South Pole
is situated on land.
Scores Ct navigators have perished
in the quest for the North Pole but
relatively few in trying to reach the
South Pole. The problem has not been
one of reaching the pole over floating
ice but of passing rapidly over the
snow covered foothills of the mountain
range and terrifying glaciers.
Peary Is Pleased.

Robert E. Peary, U. S. N retired, the

Washington, March With final ac-
ton on the arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France definitely
fixed for late this afternoon both the
advocates and the opponents of the
treaties in their Unamended form fig
provision contained in clause three of
article 8. Opponents claim this clause

not only delegates the senate's treaty
making power to the proposed joint high
commission of inquiry, but binds the
senate to accept the commissions de-
termination.
The foreign relations committee
which at first favored striking out this
clause has shifted it's view to that of
preference to have the treaties left in
tact and the Objectionable clauses viz
tually nullified by the Lodge ratificd-
tion resolution interpreting it so as 10

powers of the senate.
The explanation of this change of
sentiment is a desire to avoid anything
that might jeopardize success for Sen
ator Lodge and others contend that
any change in the text would necessi-
tate such a delay through renewed ne
gotiations as to imperil all hope of
arbitration among the three powers.
The time for the vote on tI1e ratification

r.tDa were Lieutenant William Fitch
ner of the general staff of the German
army, Lieutenant N. Shirase of the
Japanese navy, and DR.. Douglas Nav
son, representing Austria. Lieutenant
Fitchner followed largely the plans of
DR.. Haneen and sailed on the steamer
Deutchland October s last. He is a
daring explorer, having been one of the
first to reach Lhassa in Tibet, and
much confidence was felt in him by
the geographical society of Berlin.
The Japanese explorer followed the
ShackeIton route into Ross sea but
returned to Sidney, Australia, in 1911
to repair damage done in Terror bay.
Eis second start was not made until
November last, SO that he is rather be-
hind in the race.
DR.. Mawson, the Australian, took his
route from the harbor of Hobert Tas-
mania, aboard the little ship Aurora,
and took the land route to the east
of Ross sea. These five men and their
parties were out of sight of the world
for many months until the first rumor
came yesterday with the confirmatory
report that Amundsen had returned
and has brought word that his leading
opponent had reached the coveted goal.
From a geographical and scientific
standpoint the discovery of the South
Pole, while a momentous event, has
not the same features of importance
and danger as relate to the North Pole.
