EXPERTS BELIEVE
SCOTT REACHED
THE POLE
Was Only $50 Miles From Goal
on January 8
AMUNDSEN WAS LUCKY
Weather Favored Explorer Who Won
Race into Far Antarctic
Regions

London, April Though the lat
est word from the British Antarctic
expedition under command of Captain
Robert F. Scott left the explorers still
$50 miles from the South pole on
January 3, polar experts here are
strongly Of the opinion that Captain
Scott will achieve the great object
for which he set out. The fact that
his message, brought back to New
Zealand by the Terra Nova, declared
that he was remaining in the Antarc-
tic for another winter in order to
complete his work, is taken as an
indication that the party is in good
health, abundantly supplied, and in
position to continue the march to
the Pole.
Captain Scott was still advancing
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1912-04-02

on the date Of his last message and
those familiar with the Antarctic eG
ploration expect be would probably
reach the Pole before the end of Jan
uary Among those favoring this
view are Dr. Fridtjef hansen, the no
ted Norwegian explorer, who, in an
interview at Christiania yesterday
gave expression to this belief.
All the London morning papers
print editorials congratulating the
members of the Scott expedition.
They emphasize the fact that 1t was
not a mere dash for the Pole, like
that of Amundsen, but a thoroughly
planned exploring expedition on a
large scale, without any idea of rae
ing for the Pole, and that it has
achieved results of the highest impor-
lance.
A striking point of difference in
the experiences of Amundsen and
Scott was that of sheer luck. Amund-
sen was greatly favored by the wealth
er in the later stages of his journey,
during the early part of December,
while Scott at approximately the
same time met storms OF great sew.
Gritty. Amundsen was able to cover
his last $50 miles in ten or twelve
days. Thus, with anything but most
unfavorable weather Captain Scott
could cover the distance which sepa.
rated him from the Pole on January
3 well within the remaining days of
the month. Amundsen reached the
Pole on December IA, and during the
days he was occupied in making OBJ
servations there, the Englishman was
struggling through the snow drifts in
the lower reaches of Beardmore Ola
cier
The opinion is held here that if
Captain Scott had known of Amund-
sens success he would have made
some mention of it in his final mes
sage. AS in the case of the Shackel.
ton expedition, valuable exploring
work was done by different parties of
the Scott expedition, who were sent
out in different directions. Probably
no further news will be received until
1913.

Well, Now, Here Is
Surely Some Scheme

A scheme TO prevent the floods OF
the Mississippi. TO make use OF con-
vict labor where II would not compete
to provide for countrywide famine
which seemed TO the speaker i'm
minent, was proposed by G. $. Beadle,
a Detroit real estate man. before a
meeting of the social conference OF
the First Unitarian church, Sunday.
Take our convicts and send them
out TO the canyons Of the Rocky Noun
tains," said Mr. BeadIe. There let
Them build homes for themselves away
from the society that has cast them
ont. Let them dam the raging waters
that swoop down upon our valleys
with such terrible results as we have
been reading about lately.
Then let them build monster store
houses in which TO store the grain
and other provisions which could be
raised on the land irrigated by the
waters they have bottled up.
The convicts' labor would not CON-
pete with that of the free workingman.
They themselves would be segregated
Their work would be OF great benefit
10 humanity
"The results OF their labors would
be insurance against a famine, which
is now laughed at but which neverthe-
less is imminent Every year the
frost belt is getting farther south, and
some time it will cut off our grain In
the bud and want and suffering will
result unless we have made provision
for food to tide us over"

CLEVELAND CAMPAIGN
HITS FISH MONOPOLY
Officials Sell Direct To People
Through Company Recently
Organized

CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 10
Cleveland has fought and busted the
FISH trust by the organization of a
company. through the influence OF
Public Service Director William j.
sprngborn and Park superintendent
Fred c. Albor The company is now
selling several tons OF fish daily TO
Cleyelanders at five cents o pound.
The old trus: price ranged up to 10
cents a pound and sometimes more
than that.
Now Councilman Edward Bieder is
gathering plan whereby Cleveland is
to inaugurate a great fight to reduce
! the cost OF living all along the line
| on farm produce. His plan contem.
plates the establishment OF municipal
maj lighthouses and stores, where a
market superintendent. backed up by
a sufficient force of helpers, shall re-
celve consignments of produce from
the farms, make distributions and
handle collections.
I Mayor Baker is enlisted on the side
of the Bieder plan and has directed
the city solicitor to look into It's con
stitutionality Here is the Biedel
plan as described hy Bieder, himself:
I'VE have successfully fought fol
cheaper fish and have succeeded be
cause the lake fish were right at the
doors OF our city, but the supply was
being limited by the amount that the
fish trust would accept Why cannot
we do the same thing with farm pro
lduce which is also right at our doors
The supply brought TO Cleveland is
limited by the amount the commission
houses will accept
I Hundreds of thousands OF apples
within easy shipping distance OF this
lcity either rot on the ground or are
| fed to the hogs because the orchard
Owners cannot find market for them.
/ That keeps the price OF apples high.
/ The same is true OF other produce,
Now, then, suppose the city empow-
! ers its market superintendent to re-
ceive consignments of produce and
distribute them to the marketmen and
municipal stores which. think,
should be established The producers
would have confidence in such an Of
! ficer-he would see that both sides
were properly protected, the exorbi-
tant middle mans profit would be
I eliminated and the consumer would
get produce at cheap prices. He
could have fresh things on his table
instead of inferior and limited food
Istuffs.
| How well the plan of distribut-
: ing agent can be worked is shown by
the successful formation of the let
ituce-growers' association at Ashta-
4 bula, Ohio, where the members keep
"a personal representative at Pittsburgh
TO whom they consign their lettuce
and cucumbers for distribution. The
scheme has worked like charm there
for Il years"
