ANYTHING TO BEAT
THE SOCIALISTS.

The Socialists have always contended
that the capitalists looked upon the
workers with contempt, and that the
workers did not have brains enough to
think for themselves, therefore the capl-
talists have to do their thinking for them.
A good example of this has come to our
notice from Milwaukee. In order to beat
the Socialists at the coming spring elec-
ton, nine Republicans, nine Democrats
and nine business men have gotten to-
gether and selected ticket to defeat
the Socialists. Just think of it, twenty
seven men have picked out ticket
which they expect to cram down the
throats of the workers, for it takes work
ingmen's votes to elect anybody. Where
does the workingman's voice in Sc
lecting candidates come in at here? They
are supposed to follow ward heeler
like bunch of sheep and vote for can
didates the capitalists have selected for
them. No wonder the workers of Mil
waukee vote the Socialist ticket, and
there will be more Socialist votes than
ever at the coming spring election.

COMMENT OF ADMIRAL PEARY
Glad Amundsen Developed New
Route for Himself.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 3.-Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary sent to the editor of the
New York Times tonight the following
dispatch from Washington:
Il have read Amundsen's own terse
story in the New York Times with the
greatest interest. Reading his experience
has carried me back to my days on the
Greenland ice cap. There seems little
room for comment on Anundsen's ac-
count. Shackleton, who is fully acquaint-
ed by hard-earned experience with every
detail of that particular region, has COW
cred the ground fully.
II am glad that Amundsen developed
for himself a new and independent
route the entire distance to the south
pole. His determination OF the head or
the limit OF the Ross sea Icy barrier
is particularly interesting in it's bear
ing on the theory which has been ad-
vanced that the Ross sea and Weddell
sea intentions were connected by a
trough Of low elevation filled with bar
rier ice, cutting antractica into two
main portions. The story has been
transmitted from the antipodes with
wonderful effectiveness, and the New
York Times and the London Chronicle
deserve great credit for their enter
prise"

Of the diplomatic controversy which in

on the north pole. He says:
Instead Of gazing at it reverentially

The result was a noisy and complicated
controversy.

BEWARE OF THE MUMMY.

some remark about the extreme ugliness
Of the mummy's face. No sooner had
he made that remark than he was over
come with a feeling Of suffocation as IL
a cord was being tightered around his
neck. The feeling lasted for about a
minute and then gradually began to pass
away.
The correspondent adds that he and
his fellow-traveler were considerably
shaken by the incident, which was all
the more extraordinary in that he had
never had a days illness in his life.
Doubtless scientists and medical men

sTR0LLING THEATER'S END.
Public Auction the Finale of N
Gemir's Novel Venture.

BY Marconf Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph
to The Sunday Star.
PARIS, March 9.-The complete fail
ure OF the most gigantic theatrical VEN
ture of recent years has a necessary Sc
quel in the announcement that all the
effects Of NJ. Gemir's strolling theater
will be sold at public auction in the mid
die Of the month.
1t will be remembered that Antoine
Gemir three years ago devised the scheme
of taking a company about France like
caravan and erecting his portable
theater just like the travelling players of
the seventeenth century erected their
tents. Later his company travelled by train,
but great inconvenience often result
ed on account Of the non-arrival OF
properties. owing to bad roads. Expen-
sive automobile outfits proved his undo
ing.
Nevertheless, NJ. Gemir states that he
has new scheme to invade the French
provinces with a Partisan company this
season. Between the mistakes and mis-
fortunes of the last year he has been
taught the necessity for more conserva-
tive methods.

Dormant Claims to Islands.
Mr.. Wolf concludes: "In the antarctic
regions diplomacy has not yet found
much to occupy it. This is not because
the local materials for controversy diff
fer from those in the arctic regions,
but because exploration has come later
and the great powers are farther away.
Nevertheless, the germs Of a good deal
of international conflict are there in
the shape of dormant claims to the is
lands and territories, which probably Will

opment of local fisheries and mining in

Happily. Great Britain already has
established for herself much stronger
position than any of the other powers.
Indeed. she stands alone in exercising any
real effective political authority on the
south polar continent. This Is in Ora

in 1908 and which, together with the

STATEMENT BY HEALTH OFFICE

Showing a higher death rate in dis
trict in the southwest section of the city
than that for the District of Columbia as
whole, a report, based on an exhaustive
study Of housing conditions in that Sec
ton, with a view to determining what
factors are responsible for the high NOR
tally rate. was made public yesterday
by the health department.
The investigation was carried on under
the direction of DIR. Arthur l.. Murray,
of the department. a total Of 1.264 prem
ises being inspected and several months
consumed in the work. Although other
parts Of the District have been the sub
ject of similar studies, the report relat-
ing to conditions in the southwest is the
first to be made public.
Not only Is the general death rate for
the section high, as compared with
others, according to the report, but the
mortality among infants under one year
of age is higher than that for the District
as q whole. The report shows that there
are a large number of families in which
there are no children. one of the causes
Of the decreased birth rate being attrib-
uted to the high cost of living.
The territory inspected by the health
department. which Is known as statisti-
cal district No. II, is bounded on the

Thinks Shackleton Right.

Speaking of Shackleton's remarks that
Amundsen would be able within three
days continuous observations to locate
accurately the position of the pole,
Amundsen said Shackleton was quite
right.
Amundsen still maintains a position OF
impenetrabe reserve, saying that he can
give out nothing more till certain story
has been published in the Daily Chronicle
Nobody Is allowed on the Fran and no.
body from the ship is allowed ashore
Amundsen says that when the time
comes he will give all he can, but moth
ing until then. He resents the local press
remarks that it is hard that it should be
dependent on London for all the news
of the results of the expedition, when
this is the first port touched at and all
the news is sent from here.
Capt. Amundsen says it is not for the
leader Of an expedition to go around with
q secretary. Others have returned and
have given no more than himself. He
fears the press remarks will give the
local public an impression that he is not
doing the right thing, when he is doing
what all returned explorers do. and what
they are bound to do.
