DIRECT WORD FROM HOBART
CONFIRMS AMUNDSEN STORY

London, March 9.-The confirmation
of Capt. Roald Amundsen's attainment
of the south pole on December Ia. 1911,
received yesterday from the explorer
himself at Hobart. Tasmania, sets at
rest the conflicting reports current on
the subject yesterday.
A dispatch published by the Daily
Express in London yesterday mornin"
dated Wellington, n. H., declared that
Amundsen had stated that Scott had
reached the south pole. 1t vas as
sumed that this declaration indicated
that Amundsen himself had not sue
ceeded in attaining the object Of his ex-
petition, and credit was given generally
to the British explorer.
Nothing has hitherto been heard
from Scott, and Amundsen now denies
that he said or telegraphed anything
referring to his British rival or his ex-
petition.
The honor for h achievement Of
reaching the south pole now must be
given to the Norwegian explorer until
Captain Scott the result of
his expedition.

H0OSIER CAPITAL IS
READY FOR Big SHOW
indianapolis Plans to Entertain
100000 Visitors at Their
Speedway Races.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 11.-Thirty-
bur square miles of floor space in one
iotel is what visitors to the second an
lual 500-mile international sweepstakes
race will find when they come to the
Indianapolis motor speedway next Me-
mortal Day, May so. This entire city is

here to witness the worlds greatest
motor contest, and thousands of the
best private homes of the Hoosier cap
ttal are being merged into one great
sodging house for the motorists who
will come from other parts Of the
country.
The speedway has organized a de-
partment known as the Room bureau
which Is listing rooms and arranging
them in the same as a hotel
keeps records of it's accommodations
snd guests. Thousands of rooms have
already been obtained for the nights
Of May 20 n May 80, and reservations
are being made through the speedway
by spectators who will come from ev-
cry state.
Expect 100000 Visitors.

a branch of the speedway bureau and
will have rooms assigned to it from
the main office at speedway headquar-
tiers. 1t is estimated that the full 100,-
600 visitors can be accommodated cas-
lily in this manner.
The city government Of Indianapolis
will also work to give aid to the visit
ing throngs. Police will be assigned
as guides to show the visitors to their
apartments and scores Of messengers
will be engaged in addition to help in
housing the city's guests. A system
has been arranged at the speedway SO
that every visitor who makes request
for reservation in advance will be ad-
vised before he starts for Indianapolis
just where he will be located.
Filing systems have proved efficient
in this part of the task and duplicated
cards are furnished to the visitors and
the owners Of the homes in which they
will be accommodated. Full directions
for reaching their assigned rooms are
furnished at the same time. 1t is be-
lieved this will relieve the congestion
which was attendant upon handling the
vast crowd last year.
Fourteen Entries.
In 1911 hundreds arrived at the last
minute and failed to get the best ac-
co~mmodationS so the task of doing
away with this unpleasant feature has
been started three months before the
late of the race. Those Who are in
tending to witness the race should COM
municate with some of the polls

eau as soon as possible so that they
have the best the city offers.
The advance seat sale for the race
Indicates that the crowd this year will
surpass that of last year.. The seating
capacity at the speedway is more than

reserved already. There are IA entries

WOMEN MAY VOTE ON
ALL SCHOOL AFFAIRS

Des Moires, Ia, March 11.-When
Corporation Counsel H.. w. Byers wrote
a decision for the school officials the
other day to the effect that under the
Iowa law the women have the right to
vote on almost every question that is
to be submitted at the school election
in Des Moines, he was writing Of a
law with which he was familiar. The
fact Is that he wrote into the law with
his own hands in a committee room of
the 18th general assembly the ref
erence to women voting on any
question which involves increase in the
taxes, and it is under this clause that
they vote on many questions AFFECT
ing the cost of the schools. As the
committee had prepared the bill for re-
port 1t was provided only that women
might vote where bond issues were in
volved. Mr.. Byers wrote in the clause
charging the scope of the law. As in
terpreted now 1t means that hardly any
question can be voted on at a school
election, but that the women have the
right to the ballot.

100000 R M MINERS
WILL STRIKE NEXT WEEK

Berlin, March 11.-Leaders of the SO
cialist miners union today issued a
proclamation declaring 200, 900 miners
would go on strike in the W~estphalian
coal district next week unless the mine
owners reversed their decision not to
accord the Is per cent advance asked
for. The proclamation followed a meet
ing at which the owners replies to the
demands were discussed.
There appears to be very little hope
of the mine owners acceding to the
mems demands, and the efforts of the
government to bring about mediation
are now declared by the miners to be
too late.
The miners in the Hanover coal dis
trict have followed the example Of those
in the Westphalian and Silesian coal
fields and today demanded a monthly
minimum wage OF $25. They threaten
to strike on March Is unless this
Is granted.

OWNERSHIP OF SOUTH POLE
ALREADY IN DISPUTE

New York, March 1.-THE question OF
whether Norway owns the territory
surrounding the south pole, which has
just been discovered by Capt. Roald
Amundsen, has already begun to be
discussed by authorities on interna-
tional law covering the ownership Of
Arctic and Antarctic lands.
Ever since ITS, when Captain Cooks
expedition planted a flag in the Ant
arctic, explorers of various nations
have carried the flags Of their coun-
tries to various points approaching the
south pole. 1t is generally believed the
and in the Antarctic will be regarded
in much the same way as the Spitz-
bergen archipelago, which is inhabited
by men of various nations and now is
regarded as a joint possession of all
mankind.
Prof. John Bassett Moore, professor
of international law at Columbia uni
versity, points out that leading authori-
ties have taken the position tina dis
covery alone does not suffice to give
good title to a new land and that the
customs of nations for centuries has
c~rystaliZed into a part of law of ma
tons, that to perfect the right given
by discovery it must be followed by
general occupation.
Professor Moore says that the task Of
effective occupancy of the territory sur
rounding the south pole would unodubt-
eddy prove more difficult than it's dis
covery and that it was extremely I'M
likely that the question of ownership
would never be brought up to the Joint
commission or arbitration for settle
ment.
