SKETCH OF CAPT. AMuNDsen
Arctic Exploration Has Been tn,
Dream Of His Life since Early
Manhood.


Road Amundsen, now about 40
years old, has proved himself one of
the most competent explorers. Be
sides reaching the south pole he is
the first and only man to accomplish
the long attempted feat of taking a
ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific
by the northwest passage. He has
made at point within a short Lis-
tance of the magnetic pole the only
set of complete polar magnetic obser-
vations ever taken.
Amundsen was born at Sarpsburg.
Norway, and in his childhood moved
with his parents to Christiania. His
parents destined him for medicine.
For one year he was a medical stu
dent. but at his mothers death, when
he was 10 years old, he gave up the
intended career and went to sea. For
number Of years he cruised in the
north as a whaler and sealer on Nor
wegian vessels.
Amundsen had his first taste OF
exploration when in 1897 he went as
first officer with the Belgica on Ger
lach's Belgian polar expedition. From
what he learned of the work and ad-
venture of exploring on this trip and
from the second Norwegian polar ex-
pedititn Of 1893, he became filled with
arctic ambitions Of his own. He
formed the project not Of attaining the
geographic pole sought by so many.
but OF trying the long-neglected north
west passage and approaching and
studying while on his way the little
known magnetic pole.
The Amundsen magnetic expedition
was perhaps the most modestly ap-
pointed that ever went for purposes OF
discovery into the arduous field of tho
arctic. Its cost was 100000, large
part of this Amundsen's own money.
Frithjof Nansen. the Norwegian polar
explorer, a close friend and faithful
helper Of Amundsen, helped raise an.
other large part. Amundsen was fin.
ally aEle to put off from Christiania in
the little Alton sloop Of Gjoa on June
II, 1903.

Land on Barrier.


Land on Barrier.
On the following day January l4)
We found a landing place well suited
for our enterprise. The long 10000
miles voyage was safely accom-
plished. and We we're only one day out
In our calculation. We had arrived q
day too early.
After having safely moored the
vessel to the ice we set off to find .
suitable place for wintering. This did
not take long. About two and one
half kilometers from the ship. at the
foot of . ridge. we'll protected from
the southeast winds. We found an
ideal place; and on Monday (January
16) We began to unload our cargo.
Two men at once set about the cree
ton Of the house. while the rest Of
the land party continued to bring up
the building materials and provisions.
With our lis dogs we had draft power
enough, but 1t was often slow work
getting the heavily laden sledges up
to the site, which lies at q height of
$50 feet. But our dogs know how to
draw. 1t is pleasure to work with
them. They are all picked animals
from Greenland.
His soIldIy Built Camp.
ut is three weeks since we began
the building Of our station. and now
everything is ready. The desolate, icy
landscape has undergone great
change. The silence is broken.
Where formerly only a solitary pen
guin or the track of q seal crossed
the height there now lies whole Mt
tie village. Our solidly built little
house stands safe and secure, sunk
four feet down In snow as hard as
rock and supported by backstays on
all sides. We have given 1t the name
of Framheim. Its longitude is about
164 deg. west, its latitude Is deg. 40
minutes south. SO that 1t is probably
the most southerly human habitation.
Round 1t are set up fifteen tents large
enough to accommodate sixteen men
each. for the use of the dogs and as
storehouses for our provisions, coal,
wood, clothing, etc.
"The principal food depot is about
kilometer from the station and con-
tains provisions sufficient for two
years. Since we came here We have
lived almost entirely on seal meat
and would not exchange seal steak
for any dish in the world. There are
great numbers of seals here, and we
shall soon have preserved enough both
for ourselves and all our dogs for the
winter.
We Shall Do What We Cam"
''In few days the Fran will be
ready to leave us. She goes north
with greetings and messages. and we
shall begin our journey towards the
south. It is my intention to lay down
a main depot in 80 degrees latitude,
and smaller one as far south as pos
sible; and l hope that, with the ex-
cellent means at our disposal. we shall
get to SO degrees with the smaller de-
pot as early as the autumn, before
the dark season sets in. I can say
nothing more with regard to our fu.
ture prospects. We shall do what we
can"

GUILTY IS JURY VERDICT IN WHITE SLAVER'S CASE:
 } TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON
Convicted Of Conspiracy To Sash Dori Hermann Criminal Breaks Furniture
 and Tells Furious.y YEAR IN IlII FIR TWn nTHERH

After being out less than one hour, a jury in the criminal superior court, this afternoon found Demenico Cesare leader of the local white slave gang, guilty of the conspiracy which re- suited in Joseph Lagno slashing Dora Hermann's face on Feb. 10.
 When Cesare heard the verdict he acted like a madman. His manner had been very mild during the trial but there was sudden change as he was being led to cell in the base ment of the court house.
 As soon as he reached the base ment Cesare began to yell and jump about. He started to smash all the furniture in sight and had demolish- ed three chairs before he was re- strained. It required the efforts of six deputy sheriffs to subdue him.
 The jury came in at 1920 this after noon and recessed until o'clock.
 When court reopened this afternoon Judge Burpee fixed Cesare's sentence at from three to five years in States prison. Attorney Greenstein moved for a stay of execution but Judge :Burpee refused this and also declined to fix bonds. He said that if Attor- ney Greenstein has any further evil QcIlCS LO OllST, uS VIII uSdT IL dI CAAc April term of the Superior court.
 In consideration of the assistance rendered the State in prosecuting the case of Cesare, Ernest Dallas, who was charged with having lived on the earnings of Edith Herman, a denizen of the red light district, escaped today with a sentence of one year in jail.
 The same sentence was meted out to Joseph Lagno, the man who actually did the slashing of Dora Herman. Lagno was originally charged with assault with intent to kill, but in con- sideration of his complete confession. resulting in the arrest of Cesare, Lagno was charged with simple as sault He pleaded guilty and received one year this afternoon.

WOOD READY IF INTERVENTION
 IS NECESSARY
Thought That a Request For In- tervention May Come From One or More Warning Factions in Mexico
(Special from United Press. <,

Especial from United PresS.)
 Washington, March I've are mak- ing all arrangements for any possible use of troops" said Major General Leonard Wood today.
 With President Taft and Secretary of War Stimson conferring on the matter of doubling the armed force at the border; with full plans for the invasion of Mexico, worked out by the experts in the war college, now in the hands of the general staff; with per- sistent rumors that Madero will make a last attempt to quiet Mexico with a new cabinet coalition that will unite the ambitious leaders of the warning clements; with every train leaving Mexico packed to the steps with flee ing Americans and children; with a continually intensify.ng hatred of the Americans among the irresponsible revolutionaries in Mexico; with Brig. General Potts of Chicago in Texas mapping out mobilization camps ESQ that the mistakes of 1898 will not be repeated, Mexico is a powder mine that can be touched off by the faintest warlike spirit. This week is expected to tell whether the United States is to intervene.
 It is thought possible a request for intervention may come from one or more of the factions in Mexico, in ad- dition to pressure being brought on this government to act, by several of the powers.

NAT" BISHOPS LOCOMOBILE
 IS WRECKED
Chauffeur at Hospital seri- ously Hurt-Car's Oc-
 cupants Escape

Slowing on the slippery pavement of Yellow Mill bridge, Nathaniel Bishops Locomobile touring car, driven by Michael Fleming, crashed into one Of the huge bridge girders and was completely wrecked at 2:1S o'clock this afternoon, badly injurine Fleming, who was taken in another automobile to Bridgeport hospital. He appears to be internally injured and in dangerous condition. >Three other men in the car escaped with minor bruises and contusions. A bystander on the sidewalk was also slightly hurt, none sufficiently to re- quire medical attention.
 Immediately after the accident the ambulance corps was summoned but before it's arrival another car had taken the injured man to the Bridge port hospital. The others in the car did not give their names at the hos- pital.
 The front of MT. Bishops Loco- mobile car was completely smashed and battered by the accident.
 MT. and Mrs. Bishop are both South at the present time. At their home this afternoon it was stated that the injured man is not the chauffeur but is employed as second man at the Bishop place. He was learning to run the automobile and was on the way home from dinner when the ac- cident occurred.

This makes 1t possible for the appro. priating body to challenge specific items, not with reference to the cor responding items in the budget of the previous year, but to the correspond ing item in other departments where similar services are performed: This method makes every item subject te challenge upon the basis of fact; and an item once allowed may not nee. esarily be continued simply because of the sanction of tradition.
 The prevailing method of passing upon appropriations has been des- cribed in this manner. "Mr. Commis. sioner, how much do you want fol your department?
 "Oh. about s60.000 MT. President
 Better make it $55,000," cautiously replies Mr. President, and that's the way the thing Is done.
 Cost basis requires presentation o1 estimates upon the basis of results rather than upon the basis of dis bursement
 The fact that city property has titious distractions demands a con- trolled property inventory which es- tablishes responsibility for its care A few years ago, in a city miles away from Bridgeport, a set of stan- dard weights and measures disap. peared in the removal of an office from one side of the city hall to an- other. In that same city a dredge was stolen from the water front, and it was only after considerable per iod that the fact became known Stores accounts and reports of ma terials used afford the natural se' quences to the purchase records, and complete the data required to deter. mine the economy of purchases.
 The important fact remains, how ever, that true costs are generally lacking in municipal accounting.
 The difficulty of transacting pri- vate business with the city is gen. orally recognized. An applicant fol a permit to do a certain kind of work which is to be supervised by repre-. sentatives of the city. or for which a fee Is required. should not be de layed unnecessarily by the details oi and securing of permits for the! sev. eral classes of building. sewer. street or other work to be performed by pri. vate individuals can be expedited by centralizing these functions.
 Tn fact, in establishing the method: relating to all of the revenues of the city. as we'll as those relating to the expenditure, there has been in mind the necessity for a procedure whicl would not only establish individua responsibility and verify the correct. ness of the financial returns and the reports made. by the officials of de. partments, but would tend in every way possible to facilitate the pub. lies transaction of business with tho city. Methods based on the conven. fence of the clerks of departfnen, have given way to those designed to make it easier for the people te transact their business and in less time.
 Uniformity >in accounting methodi and documents as between depart. ments, facilitates comparisons of rev. enue as we'll as of costs of like ol similar services, As an administra- tive by-product, it makes it possi. ble to shift employees from task te task, or even from department to de. partment without loss of effort
 Care is being exercised to guard against creating such a cumbersome or elaborate method that a large ex- penditure of funds would be required to operate it.
