$4,000 feet high. We only saw the
nearest surroundings.
The place got the name of the
Devils Dancing Room This part
of our march was the most unpleas-
ant.
On December we got our great
est height, according to the hypsom-
eter and anerod, 1880 feet at 81
degrees 40 minutes south.
On December we came out of
the bad weather. Once again the
sun smiled down on us Once again
we could get an observation. Dead
actly alike, SS degrees IS minutes
1876 seconds south.
Before us lay an absolutely plain
plateau only here and there marked
with a tiny sastrugi.
In the afternoon we passed SS de-
grees % minutes (Shackleton's far
thest south was So degrees % min
utes) We camped and established
our last depot, depot No. 10.
From SO degrees 25 minutes the
plateau began to slope down very
gently and smoothly toward the 9th
er side.
On the 9th of December We reach
ed SO degrees SO minutes; on Dec.
1898 degrees Sc minutes; Dec. IL,
80 degrees rs minutes; Dec, II, 80
degrees 80 minutes; Dec. Is, SO de-
grees As minutes.
Up to this time the observations
and dead reckoning agreed remarka-
| bly, we'll and we made out that we
ought to be at the pole on Dec. IA
in the afternoon.
| That day was a beautiful one, a
Flight breeze from the southeast, the
temperature minus 3 Celsius (9.4 de-
grees below zero Fahrenheit), and
the ground and sledging were per-
feet.
The day went along as usual and
at three p. M, We made halt.
According to our reckoning we
had reached our destination. All OF
us gathered around the colors-a
beautiful silk flag-all hands taking
hold of it and planting it.
The vast plateau on which the
pole is standing got the name of the
King Haakon VII. Plateau" 1t is
vast plain alike in all directions
Mile after mile during the night we
circled around the camp.
In the fine weather we spent the
following day taking a series of OBJ
servations from a. m. to Z p. M
The result gave us 80 degrees, So
minutes.
In order TO observe the pole as
! close as possible we travelled as near
south as possible, the remaining nine
kilometers. On Dec 16 there we
camped.
1t was an excellent opportunity.
There was a briliiant sun. Four of
us took observations every hour of
the days twenty-four hours. The
exact result will De the matter of a
professional private report.
This much is certain, that we OBJ
served the pole as close as it is in
human powers to do it with the In
struments we had-a seXtant and an
artificial horizon.
On Dec. II everything was in
order on the spot. We fastened to
the ground a little tent we had

Saving the Town.

Visitor-Was the Christmas mail
heavy?
Rural stmaster-Haven' got it
all out yet. / tell you, this town
owes its lives to me. About the
first of December almost all the let
tiers that come in here were covered
with funny looking stamps. l got
kind of suspicious, and it certainly
puzzled me until a New York drum
mer put me wise, telling me they
were tuberculosis stamps. OF course
knew that stuff was darned bad, so
just ups and confiscates the mail as
fast as it came in. I've got it all
out in the back room fumigating
now. Pretty narrow squeeze, but !
nipped the epidemic right in the
bud.

REBELS ROUTED NEWS PHONED
 1000 MILES Decisive Battle General huerta Expects to be Fought
 Tonight

El Paso, Tex, May 10-The United Press correspondent here at l a. m., today talked directly with General Victoriano Huerta, the federal com mander, over a thousand-mile tele- phone circuit via Laredo, Texas, and Torreon to the battlefield at Berme- jillo where Huerta asserted he had routed the rebel forces under Orozco. flee in a freight car outside the Mexican town and the following con- versation took place:
 What happened Thursday at Ber- meJlllo?' Huerta was asked and he replied:
 an advance party of one thousand at Saragona near Bermejillo, killing ninety. The rebels were pursued by Villas volunteer cavalry. Tuesday night we heard the advance guard was coming. We sent Villa to meet them. He attacked their front at 6 o'clock Thursday morning. In the meantime General Robago arrived and flanked them with machine guns. The fight lasted until noon. Finally, panic seized the rebels and they ran like rats''
 When will the main battle take placer
 1T will answer that question tomor- row Friday) night. Our position is becoming stronger every hour. Since you have been talking to me, horse man has brought me a telegram say- ing that the rebel, SalaZar, was rout- ed at Cuarto Ciengas, near here last night. This makes my position at Bermejillo stronger than it has, ever been"
 How many men will be engaged in the coming main battle?"
 Please excuse me from answering further questions. I must go out in- to my camp and prepare for tomor- rows Friday) movement of troops. Tomorrow night I promise to grant you a wire interview and to answer luther questions. I want the Ameri- can people to know the truth about the battle. Good-Bye.''
 General Huerta has charge of the five thousand government troops which are making what is considered almost the last stand of the Madero government against the revolutionary troops of Orozc0. BermejillO is near Torreon and Orozco's main body of seven thousand is expected there sometime today.
 The capture of Bermejillo by the rebels would mean the retirement of Huerta's forces to Torreon, while revolutionary occupation of Torreon would mean the complete control of Northern Mexico by Orozco.

LEO M'ELROY IN
 "HOOP SKIRT" PLAY
Alumni Drama Club to Present Pinero's 'Trelawney of the Wells
 Monday Night.

Arthur Pinero, the contemporary dramatist, is seldom so felicitous as when writing satire of the prim and pompous persons and the ponderous conventions so often encountered in the Wells,'' the play to be produced by the Alumni Drama club next Mon- day evening at the Park theatre and in which Leo McElroy plays the im- portant role of "Sir William Gower". MT. Pinero has allowed himself com plete freedom of merry chaff and has devised good means to make it eff fective by the delft use of contrast alike in circumstances and in the op- position of characters. He has done more than this, because while never a moralizer he had another and bet ter purpose than satire-the purpose to show a good side in human nature and incidentally to say good word for actors.
 The period of Trelawney is that of hoop skirt, crinaline and peg-top trousers, forty years ago and the scene is laid in the neighborhood of Islington and partly at mansion in less, half comical. half pathetic life of poor actor against the rich re- spectable and superlatively decorous Vice Chancellor and his relatives promising a betrOthaI of his grand son, Arthur, to a sprightly but im- pecunious actress-and from this con- trast to deduce scenes of mirth and moments of pathos, was MT. Pinero's scheme and he has accomplished it with rare and delightful skill.
 The portrayal of vicissitude and contrasts in the actor life is pathetic notwithstanding the broad fun that environs it, and for this alone if not for it's pretty love story and pure spirit there should be a warm well come for "Trelawney of the Wells' and the young players, graduates of the High school, who will impersonate
 Prominent in the cast are Miss Edna. Williams, Curtis Tracy, Earl Fenelon, Miss Julia Farnam; Miss Natalie Rosen, Miss Mable Weir, Miss Augusta Mendel, Joseph Mcfarland, Roderick Whalen, Clarence Lister. Charles Rohrback. Edwin Gaynor, Miss Ethel Poland and Miss Annie
