thought to be an extension of the Andes
range. running southwark through South
America. At the furthermost point Of

party from his ship, the Terre Nova.
The other competitors in the race are
Lieut. William Filchner of the general
staff of the German army; Lieut.. n.

Douglas Mawson, representing Australia.

Upon investigating further into the
disturbances that occurred when the
mills stopped work, late today, the po-
lice found that some of the operatives
were badly hurt. One girl sustained q
severe cut on the back of the neck from
a lump of ice that had been hurled at
her. She received attention in a nearby
house. An elderly man, who was assali-
ed by three men, was badly beaten and
had to hee into a neighbours house for
protection. No arrests have yet been
made as result of these disturbances.

Routes Taken by Explorers.

Captain Scott took the route by way of
Australia and New Zealand. He SAILED
due south into Ross sea, great stretch
of water reaching toward the South pole.
His chief competitor in this dash was
Capt. Roald Amundsen, who is commits
stoned by the King of Norway and the
Norwegian government. Amundssn
chose the route by way of South Amefi-
ca, as against Scott and three others
who went by the Australian route.
Amundsen left Buenos Ayres on board
the steamer Fran toward the close Of
1910 He passed through the Straits of
Magellan and then steered for Ross sea,
the same sheet of water which Scott
had gained by way of the New Zealand
and Australian route.

Interest in Rivalry.

The keenest interest has been eX-
cited by the strivings of explorers of
five different nationalities to attain
the South Pole Captain Amundsen
and Captain Scott are close personal
friends They met just before they
started the race for the Pole and
when they parted they wished each
other success. Captain Amundsen,
whose expedition was a smaller one
than that of Captain Scott, had a
slight advantage over Captain Scott,
owing to his base of operations being
about so miles nearer to the goal than
that of his opponent. Their equip
ment varied in many respects. Cap
tain Amundsen relying on dog
transport and his men being equipped
with skis on which they expected TO
make great speed over the glacier ice,
while Captain Scott took with him
dog, ponies and motor sledges. Cap
tain Amundsen's party consists of on
ly IS men, while that of Captain Scott
numbered so.

PAYS PENALTY FOR
 SHAVING JEWELER
Laredo Merchant Murdered By Compton, Who Stole
 S15,000 in Gems

Laredo, Tex. March 15.--J. B. Comp ton was hanged here today for having murdered G. J. Levy, a jeweler, in this city last December. Lonnie Franks was Compton's accomplise. About $l2,0o ol s150o0 worth of diamonds was taken Franks fled but Compton remained, be ing one of the first to enter the jewelry store when the crime was discovered, and one of the loudest in deerying the cruelty
 Well acquainted with the jeweler, he went to see his friends body at the morgue, commenting on "how little death had altered his appearance.
 Keeping lip his unconcern for two days after the murder, Compton married a young woman of this city. The police sus- picioned Compton from the first because he had been seen near the store about the time of the murder. He was arrested three times and was twice released for lack of evidence. Franks was apprehended in San Antonio and made a confession inn plcating Compton.
 Shortly afterward Compton also made a confession. Franks was sentenced to life Imprisonment. Because Compton was married so soon after his crime is be- lieved to have turned public sentiment here against him, and when he made ap- plication for commutation of his sentence he was unsuccessful.

Hon. Lemuel P. Padgett, represen-
tative in congress from this district,
returned last night from Washing
ton and will be at home for a few
days. Mr.. Padgett has nothing to
say about politics at this time. Ask
ed this morning by representative
Of The Herald for some expression
On matters political, Mr.. Padgett
firmly but politely stated that he had
nothing now to say.
1t is we'll known, however, that
while Mr.. Padgett is at home he
will confer with his friends and get a
line on the situation in the district
II is possible that he may have some
thing to say to the people before he
leaves for the nations capital but
that is by no means certain.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Padgett
is being daily importuned by people
all over the district to make the race
for congress in spite of the action OF
the district committee And these
appeals, 1t is understood, do not all
come from any particular faction OF
the democratic party. 1t is known
that Mr.. Padgett is giving the matter
of his political future much thought
but is keeping his own counsel.
