ploded here today. Walter H. Adams,
a machinist, waits in despair, for news
of his wife, Mrs. Louise Adams, who
has not been heard from since noon
yesterday. A 3-year-old baby girl sits
at his side and cries for it's mother.
The model young man in the way
was Oscar Sache, age 20, treasurer of
a Sunday school here. He decamped
with $55 OF the Sunday school funds,
drawing them from the bank before
leaving. He had been on intimate
terms with Mrs. Adams, who had
been a customer at a grocery where
Sache was employed as clerk. for
some time. 1t was believed that the
pair had gone to New York and ef-
forts are being made today to locate
them there.

DISCOVERY MADE

SAN JOSE, Cal, March 9.-What is
said to be the most notable discovery
made in 200 years of observation OF
sun spots has been announced from
Santa Clara college. The announce
ment was made under the signature OF
Father J. S. Ricard, college metsoro-
logical observer. He says the predic-
tion of the time when sun spots would
form and appear and the verification
of the predictions has been achieved.
Sun spots now in full view on the
sun were predicted early in January,
according to Father Ricard. Their ap-
pearance was coincident with the
present storm in California and the
discovery is declared to bear out his
contentious that sun spots influence
the earth's conditions.

CHICAGO, March 9-Seven bodies
six burned and blackened and one bro
ken and mangled, have been recovered
from fire that destroyed the Barnett
Hotel in South Clark street, near Har-
rison, early today. One man died after
leaping from fourth story window.
The search of the ruins was continued
this afternoon as it is believed that
other bodies may be found More than
rs of the 125 guests in the hotel have
not been accounted for. Thirty of the
guests were injured. Some of those
burned to death had been practically
rescued by ladders placed across an
alley to a printing plant, but became
terror stricken, turned back, re-enter-
ed the burning building and perished.
The known dead are: Thomas Nc
Math, painter, jumped to death; Ed
ward Marshall, Charles Wesman, four
unidentified men.
Eight of those injured were taken
to the hospital. The Are started on the
second floor, where scores of dodgers
were still in their beds. The flames
burst out near the center of the bull
ding. There were no fire escapes on
the front of the building and those in
the front rooms were trapped The
dodgers fled pell-mell to the street
when the flames were discovered
Many of those in the rear rooms ran
to the fire escapes and scrambled
down.
In Loop District.
The Barnett hotel is a four story
structure in the loop district and was
patronized principally by middle class

eral women were included among the
! guests. Mrs. Annie Ancell and her one
i hour old baby were rescued by the
firemen but are in a serious condition
from the suffocating smoke. The baby
will probably die. There were scores
of thrilling rescues.
Thomas McMath, who was in a room
on the fourth floor, appeared at win

body suspended in the air. The crowG

STORY OF AMUNDsEN.

LONDON, March 9.-Standing out
in the picturesquely simple narrative
of Captain Roald Amundsen's discov-
hshed here today, that part of the &C
count which is of pre-elninent interest
to scientists and geographers shows
the ease with which the dash was
made and the location of territory and
mountains hitherto unknown. While
Norway gains high prestige through
the successful quest of her citizens
she gains in a material way, too, for
the Norwegian flag floats over hum
dreds of square miles of newly dis
covered ground within the antarctic
circle.
There is still further distinction for
the plateau upon which the very pole
itself stands has been named King
Hasken's plateau and the newest
mountains known to geographers have
ben designated Queen Maude's range.
Captain Amundsen's story is so con-
vincing that all doubt in England has
been swept away and, as he made no
mention of finding indications of any
other expedition at the pole it is now
admitted that he is the discoverer.
1t is also intimated that the Japanese
party may be second to the pole for
Amundsen said that the Japanese un-
der Lieut.. Shirase had arrived at the
barrier, near the Amundsen party's
winter quarters on Jan. 16 and were
rapidly making their way south.
Scott Not Mentioned.
No mention is made at all Of Capt.
Scott and the British party. After a
journey over the icefields and snow
hummocks and roundabout excursions
to avoid yawning crevices, Amundsen
and his party of four men and 1S dogs
stood at the South pole at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon of December IA, 1911.
So perfect had been the reckoning of
the explorer that while he was miles
away he had calculated that he would
be on the goal on December IA. 1t
took just IS days to negotiate the dis
tance from the winter quarters to the
pole, the distance being about 700
miles.
With a single exception on the final
dash the weather was favorable, the
thermometer ranging from g to 8 de-
grees below zerokh fact says Amund.
sen. it was 1Dfe like pleasure trip
than . voyage OF privation.
After a false start, which was caus-
ed by a hurricane, the party finally
got away from tie winter quarters on
October 90, 19lL simultaneously an.
other party of tive men left for a
southern tour of exploration and
scientific experimenting.
Many Dogs Killed.
In the party led by Amundsen were
four men and 50 dogs. Later how.
ever, it became necessary to kill "a
of the faithful animals.
1t is interesting to compare the
hardships which Peary and his men
endured with tine ease with which
Amundsen and his party travelled.
Peary had to cross broken ice ridges
and encountered storm after storm.
The weather at the North Pole is also
much colder than that at the South
Pole, judging from a comparison OF
the two narratives.
In the beginning the Norwegian
started to make his way southwark on
February 10, 1911 By April IL three
depots were cached, provisions had
been established respectively at So
81 and g. degrees of latitude. The ice
plain upon which these depots were
