BY CAPT. ROBERT r. SCOTT.

McMurdo Sound, Oct. 80, 1911.-
Shortly after the departure of the de-
pot-laying party from Cape Evans Oh
Jan. %, 1911, the sea ice broke at
South Cape and severed communication
with the station. The depot party
consisting Of twelve men, eight ponies,
and two dog teams occupied till Jan.
30 in establishing a base camp at the
barrier sever miles east, southeast, of
Hut Point. Owing TO the heavy
weights TO be transported the main
part of the supplies We're left at this
camp The party proceeded with sim
gle loads east, southeast, twenty-seven
miles to a spot named Corner Camp,
before turning south to avoid the
~creyasses of White Island. The snow
surface proved very soft, making ter
ribly hard work for the ponies. A
three days heavy blizzard at Corner
Camp was a further severe trial to
the animals, which were not in
good condition.
On Feb. 8 we proceeded south,
marching by night and resting by
day. The weather was exceptionally
bad. but the surface improved. The
three weakest ponies were sen back.
but these unfortunately were caught
in another bad blizzard and two sue
cumbed. With the remaining ponies
and dogs we reached latitude 70 IL de-
grees OF the 10th, when l decided, ow-
ing to the condition of the weather
and the animals to make a depot here
and return. We left more than a ton
of stores at this point, which we
named One Ton Camp, and which
should be a great help to us this sea-
son. We then returned to our base
camp with dog teams.
Perched on a Crevasse Bridge.
Whilst cutting a corner of White
Island in a bad light the whole of one
dog team fell into a crevasse. Meares,
myself, and the sledge were miracu-
lousy held up on part of a bridge
across the crevasse, along which we
had been travelling, and most of the
dogs hung by their harness. With

At Base Camp l found every single
pony well, and visiting Hut Point

General Marion Maus has a keen
and delicate taste in literature, and
at a recent dinner at Vancouver Bar
racks, discussing a popular novel of
little worth, General Maus said:
THE pathos of the book is really
bathos. 1t reminds me of a private's
widow. The good woman was about
to sell her household furniture, her
rugs, plated ware and what not. AS
she was going over these articles her
Eyes filled with tears, a host of mem
cries rose to her mind, and, laying
aside a h%alf-dozen knives, she said:
"'Oh, dear! I can't let these go!
They've been in poor Georges mouth
too often!'"

ROBERT F. SCOTT.
SCOTT is SILENT.

Does Not Appear to Have Heard Of
Amundsen's Success.
The opinion is held in London 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 Shackle-
ton expedition, valuable exploring
work was done by different parties of
the Scott expedition, who were sent
out in different directions. Probably
no further word will come from the
expedition until we'll along in 1913.

So MEN ON EXPEDITION.

Plans Were Carried Out with Great
Accuracy.
Capt. SCOTS party consisted of fifty
eight officers and men. There were
thirty-five dogs, nineteen ponies, two
rabbits, and two cats. In addition to
these, the Terra Nova, when sailing
south again last December, took four
teen Siberian dogs, eve Indian Gov
eminent transport mules, and an old
cat, Niger. The plans of the expedi-
ton had been most carefully laid. and
carried out almost item for item.

WILL FIGHT TAP
 LINE DEC|S|O. Restraining Orders Issu Against Several Large
 Railroads

St. Louis. May 1.-The issuance aI l1r5. porary restraining orders against several large railroads in the southwest taas marked the opening of what lo ium bermen declare is to be a bi4er shl against the interstate commerce com missions recent tap line decision. The cancellation of present tariffs tc common rate territories, according to the lumbermen, will be to force the tap lines to charge for local haul in addition to the through rate charged by the trunk lines, increasing the cost of hauling about cents per 100 pounds.
 Lumbermen tonight voiced varied opin- ions as to the outcome of the decision, if 1t is permitted to stand. but all agree that it will result only in increasing the cost of lumber about 20 per cent.
 The chaos which lumbermen say will re- suit. will not they say, be confined to the lumber industry. but will affect short hauls on coal, iron, stone, salt and kindred commodities depriving tap lines of revenue and raising the cost to the consumer.
 The petition on which the restraining order was issued charged an unlawful combination and conspiracy on the part of the trunk line defendants in Violation of the sherman law and Missouri statutes
 This contention is based on the fact that the new rates were to be sput into effect on all lines at the same time
 The trunk line defendants are ordered to appear in court May Il to show why the restraining order should not be made permanent.

POLICE BEING

The police department is going through a complete course of ''Bodekerizing, D which is going to greatly improve it.
 First. the police. superior officers. pa- trolmen and all will wear caps instead of the unsightly helmets. The caps have arrived and the superior officers, patrol chauffeurs and wardens are already wear ing them. Next, when the patrolmen adopt their new summer uniforms and caps. white gloves will be put in vogue, and each badge will be polished to an infinite brightness.
 During the last six or seven months the police department has been through a series of modern changes, which many admirers of Chief Bodeker have chosen to term ''Bodekerizing.' Chief Bodeker is the first chief of police in the United States to abolish the brutal billy" and night stick. Now he has abolished the helmets. custom which is generally in vogue in the north and east. but not in the south.

COTTON BREAKS
 NEARLY $2AbALE

New Orleans, May 1.-The price of cot ton broke nearly s2 per bale in the fu- ture market here today on the Cotton exchange. It was the result of heavy selling in all of the principal markets of the world. Selling began in Liverpool be- fore the American markets opened. It ex- tended to this market on the first trade.
 The undertone was weak all the morn ing, and toward midday the most active months were 36 to 39 points under last nights close Both old and new crop months displayed about equal weakness.
 The gossip of the trade was that large interests were working for a reaction from the 14c mark. It was supposed long lines of cotton were liqudated during the morn ing. Trailing longs let go freely
 Short selling was much in evidence as the result of better weather map than expected. No attention was paid to pri- vate bureau estimates of a reduction of over s per cent in the eacreage. and the river reports while unfavorable had no effect on prices.
 The ,besrs claimed that the downward trend of prices was a natural reaction fol- lowing long continued rise At midday prices were B to g points under yes- terdsy's close. July at the lowest stood at 11.46c, compared with 12. 19c reached a few hours after Mondays opening.
 The lowest level reached during the day was s to 40 points below last night's s close. The marke. closed steady at a decline of 30 to 36 points.

COL. DELACY DEAD
 AT HATCHECHUbbEE
Prominent and We'll Known East Alabamian Expires.
 III for Some Time

Columbus, Ga, May Special )-News has been received in Columbus of the death of Col. J. Mike DeLacy, which oc- cured in his home in Hatchechubbee, Russell county, Alabama, Monday after noon. Particulars have not been received. Colonel DeLacy had been in i'll health for several years past. He was nearing his setentieth mile post. if, indeed. he had not already reached 1t.
 Colonel DeLacy was one of the most prominent and well known citizens in East Alabama and west Georgia, for he virtual ly belonged to both states. He had been a resident of Hatchecubbee for the past 40 years or thereabout. having been en- gagged in the mercantile business, although for few years he was located at Green- vile, Ga, where he was engaged in bus mess At one time he was also the owner of White Sulphur Springs, Meri- wether county, which place he ran a few seasons.
 Hatchechubbee, however, was his home at all times, and some 20 years ago he moved back there for good, although he still retained his Georgia interests.
 Colonel De5.acy was quite a prominent and active figure in the politics of the county 15 or 20 year sago. He was a man of considerable influence. Along in the early nineties he was elected to the state legislature from Russell county and served one term. This was the only time in his life that he offered for any office. He did not offer for reelection. Probably it was due more to political conditions of those times than to any personal ambi- tion on his part that he became a candi date for tlie legislature when he did.
 In addition to being engaged in the mer- cantle business Colonel DeLacy was also 4 interested in falIning in his section.
 His wife and several children, also one brother, survive him. His remains were inferred in the cemetery at Hatchechub- bee Tuesday afternoon.
