AWAIT NEW FACTS IN GRACE MYSTERY
Grace Reiterates His Belief That He Was Shot by
 His Wife

Atlanta, March 9.--Lawyers and po- lice officers handling the Eugene II. Grace shooting case apparently have settled down to await developments to- day The entire affair is shrouded in mystery. While there have been many delegations and accusations and ths- ories advancedi a solution seems far from being reached. What see1ns tc be the most important turn IS the ts- ported finding of a letter to mrs. Grace by the attorneys. The letter Is ad- dressed to Mrs Grace at Newman and advises her that her husbands contem- plated trip to Philadelphia was post poned, and "a friend will stay with hiln Tuesday,
 That 1t was written at her instance so she could prove an alibi and lay the blame of his death to the mys- tcrious friend, is a theory of the at torneys.
 The letter has not been seen by newspaper men and it's existence can not be vouchsafed by others, except the lawyers, who maintain secrecy as to the most of 1t.
 Grace was resting comfortably. ds wife is still held without bail. A local police judge received a letter from negro woman, Mattie Gibbs, in which she says her own husband shot Grace and robbed his house. Little h. teiest is taken in her story but she is being looked into.
 It is said the police have located a man who while passing the Grace home early on the day he was found wounded heard shot and saw a negro man leaving the place.
 My wife shot me; there's no doubt of 1t in my mind; she shot me; I intend to get well and just as soon as I'm able to leave the hospital I will sue for divorce '' said Grace, I've been stung.
 This was another Of the interviews given out by Grace after the physicians offered no opposition. He offered no further criti- cism of his wife.
 The news of her husbands repudia- tion of her came as serious blow to Mrs. Grace in her cell in the county jail where she is held without bail pending developments in her husbands $ condition. She broke down completely when informed of Graces statement and threw herself across cot in the womans ward, of which she is the sole occupant, and gave way unre. strainfdly to her grief Earlier in the day sile had declared she loved her husband dearer than life itself" When informed thatthe proposed to start di- vorce proceedings she declined to make any comment.
 Acting for the Pennsylvania Mutual Life Insurance company, r. C. McDuf- fe late today filed d ball of equity in the federal court, demanding the sur render and cancellation of two pol icies. aggregating s25,00o. issued to Eu- gene H. Grace. Fraud in the procure ment of the policies and felonious con duet of the beneficiary, Mrs. Grace, is alleged by the company.

On Feb ruary 15 the sledges each weighing 660 pounds. were driven 73 miles, Six dogs made up the team for each sledge The lowest temperature they found at this time was 49 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
 On their return on February 10 from this fiji trip of laying down depots Amundsen and his followers were re- ioiced to find that in their absence the Fran had been sailed farthest south of any vessel and that the Norwegian colors had been raises

His Definition of Progressive

Men differ as to what progressive policies are. but perhaps we can reach a definition that will suit everybody.
 Government Is framed for the greatest good for the greatest number and also for the greatest good for the individual and the problem present is the. balancing of these two objects In sucn way that objects may proceed side by side While We would not part with the right of prop- ertY. and while possibly in certain direc- tions We might be willing to modify the character of it's use where il has turned out to be an abuse. as in the case of ths antitrust law. what We are all struggling for, what We all recognize as the highest ideal in society is equality Of opportunity for every member born into it.
 ''Under the Jeffersonian idea it wax thought that the least government nf mankind was the best and that the moro nearly the functions of the government were confined to the administration of justice and to the enforcement of law tns better: but under present conditions of population and civilization there are many functions that the government can more effectively and more economically per- form than the people and the peopie may receive greater benetit.

Hobart Tasmania, March 9.-(Spe- cial)-rhe recital of the march of Amundsen and his little band to the south pole is graphic but simple story of extraordinary achievement as told by a modest leader, whose men are as unemotional as their captain.
 Ii was on February 10. 1911. that the march to the south pole was begun over an open waste The absence of all landmarks made it necessary for them to plant flags 10 mark their course and 10 guide their return to winter quarters on the ice barrier.
 Between the time of their start and April II they set up three depots in which they stored in all $500 pounds of provisions of which 2200 pounds were seal pound. Fifteen hundred and forty pounds of this food they placed in the eighty first degree of south lat itude and 17S0 pounds more in the eighty second degree. ~

The sledges had been found too heavy and clumsy. All the equipment was frightened up for speed. They did some scientific work and made some very interesting meteorological obser- vations.
 The observation of temperatures showed unusually mild weather, much milder than Amundsen expected to find. Tho general range during the five months they were in winter quarters was from 53 to 76 degrees below zero. The lowest temperature actually taken was on Au- gust 13 when the thermometer marked "A degrees below zero.

FIRST GAME FOR YALE.
Harvard Loses Base Ball Contest
After Battling Three Hours.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. June 19.-Yale
and Harvard burlesqued base ball In
the opening game OF their annual
series here yesterday afternoon, which
the Ellis won. to.6. A total OF twenty
four players was passed to frst. TWEEN
ty-one bases on balls being given.
Both teams were weak in pitchers. and
the Crimson batters faced five Yale
moundsmen. Tome Of the Harvard
second nine started the game, but re-
tired in the middle Of the first inning.
after he had been hit safely four times
for eight bases. Hardy held Yale safe
till the seventh. but his w1ldness was
the chief factor in the four runs scored
by the Ellis in their last two batting
innings. OF the Yale twirlers only
Scott. who worked the last inning. was
effective or showed any control. and he
will probably start the game In Cam
bridge today.
Yale's picturesque commencement pa
rade, with twenty reunion classes ana
1000 alumni in weird costumes. drove the
players from the diamond before the
game, and was probably responsible for
the unsteadiness of the pitchers. Babson
of Harvard made two hair-raising catches.
checking one home run and pulling foul
fly off the left field foul fence, which
seemed impossible He was stunned by
the collision momentarily. Goss and NC
Chic made phenomenal long running
catches. The batting Of Cornish and Rid
dell was the greatest factor in Yale s
scoring. 1t required three hours to play
the game, and twenty-five players were
left stalled on bases. The score.
