The move of Marston Campbell
prompted Commissioner Mccarthy to

credit for introducing the meter sys-

Mr.. Berndt stated that the Matson
company and the Inter-Island compa-

Tenney of the former company was
practically ready to let contract for
the building of water barge.
Marston Campbell said that he did
not agree with Berndt, and that with

ton might be put up to the special

Island boats, said Campbell, were
charged a low rate for water, and the
total did not come to more than $1,000
per year.

SIHTN-ONE BIG WARSHIPS
COLOGNE, Germany, March o.
The text of the roposed new naval
law is published today in the Volks
zeitung, which declares that it re-
ceived the information from clerical
members of the reichstag.

BRITONS HAIL AMUNDSEN
AS SOUTH POLE CONQUEROR

LONDON, March 9-Captain Road
Amundsen's triupmh is generally ac-
knowledged here as being complete
and the Norwegian Explorer is hailed
as the conqueror of the South Pole.
Many Britons, however, for the time
being still are clinging to the hope
that Captain SCOTS return may fur
nish a dramatic climax to the Antarc-
tic story
The Royal Geographical Society
while not questioning Captain Amund-
sens feat, is awaiting news from Cap
tain Scott before committing itself
by sending congratulations to Captain
Amundsen.
In the meantime, if the Norwegian
explorer has any further secrets to
reveal he is reserving them for pub
LEGATION through the same channels
that he hitherto has used.
Rear Admiral Peary, Sir Ernest
Shackelton and DR.. Charcot are prom
inently displayed in the newspapers
as supporting the surmise that both
the British and Norwegian explorers
may have reached the goal and each
of them remained in ignorance of the
others secret.
Ownership Questioned.
NEW YORK, March 9.-The ques-
ton of whether Norway owns the ter
ritory surrounding the South Pole,
just reached by Captain ROAD Amund-
sen, already is being discussed by
authorities on international law COW
ering the ownership of Arctic and
Antarctic lands.
Ever since 177S when Captain
Cooks expedition planted a flag in
the Antarctic, explorers of various
nations have carried the flags of their
countries to various points approach
ing the South Pole. 1t is generally
believed the land in the Antarctic

will be regarded much in the same
way as Spitzenberg archipelago, which
is inhabited by men of various ma
tions, and now is regarded as Joint
possession of all mankind
John Bassett Moore, professor of
international law at Columbia Uni
Nersity points out that leading author.
tiles have taken the position that dis
covery alone does not suffice to give
good title to new unoccupied land,
and that the customs of nations for
centuries has crystalized into a part
OF the law of nations that in order
to perfect the right given by discov-
cry it must be followed by general
occupation.
Professor Moore says that the task
of etfecting occupancy of the territory
surrounding the South Pole undoubt-
eddy would prove more difficult than
its discovery and that. it was ex-
tremely unlikely that the question of
ownership would ever be brought up
to the joint commission on arbitra-
ton for settlement.

days since her return from Midway

on one occasion the captain was at

who had refused duty. At another
time there was a fistic war between
decks among members of the crew and
one man was so badly mauled that his
shipmates had to carry him into the

boys took hasty departure from the
hold of the ship on another occasion,
went over the side swearing venge-

INEFFICIENT WORKMEN
CAUSE CAR SHORTAGE
On !. c. Railroad, Says Vice
President Schmitt-Meet.
ing Set for To Day.

Paducah, KY, Dec. 16.-J. F.
Schmitt, ninth international vice
president of the International
Brotherhood OF Boilermakers, Iron
Ship Builders and Helpers of Amer
lea, with headquarters in Ports
mouth, o., IS in Paducah in confer
ence with the Illinois Central strik-
ers. He expresses himself as conf
dent that the strikers will eventual
ly win the strike. He asserted that
the equipment of the road is in bad
condition. He charged the law in
regard to safe equipment was being
hagrantly violated on the Illinois
Central and the Hartman lines.
Mr.. Schmitt charged that the d.
vision officials were keeping the
higher officials of the Illinois Cen
trail in ignorance OF actual condi-
tions. Next Wednesday the Ken
lucky State Railroad Commission
will meet in Central City to hear
complaints about shortage of cars
at the West Kentucky coal mines.
He and President Fred McCreary,
of the System Federation of the III
inois Central, intimated that some
startling revelations will be made at
this hearing. Both said the car
shortage was due to incompetent
emplefes in the car departments of
the shops. They may appear before
the commission, Mr.. Schmitt says,
and expose conditions that they
claim to exist. Not only do they
claim cars are in bad condition, but
also the locomotives.
When the Illinois Central strike
was inaugurated over a year ago
about 81 per cent. of the men quit
work, according to Aessrs. Schmitt
and McCreary, and to-day 80 per
cent. of the men are still out. In
the Paducah shops they said not
more than Z per cent, had returned
to work. and in Memphis only three
men had gone back. The men are
standing firm, they said, and will
continue the fight until they win.
All strikers are receiving IS a week
benefits, except those doing picket
duty, and they receive $40, accord
ing to the officials. They said the
Federation of Federations, which
was organized in Kansas City sever
al months ago, has become a part of
the American Federation of Labor
at the late meeting in Rochester, N.
Y. The Federation OF Federations
is now known as the railroad de-
partment of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and this department
will open Offices in st. Louis the
first of next year. ...

Petersburg, Ind, Dec. 14.-Mrs.
Margaret Myers, aged seventy-seyen
years, an eccentric old woman, who
lived at Algiers, a small town, six
miles east of here, was fond dead
in bed this morning. Relatives who
knew she possessed considerable
wealth and who could find no rec

ures and found buried in an old

apparently been undisturbed for
many years.
Mrs. Myers, II is said, never had
any confidence in banks, and as she
has always been considered to have
had considerable means, her rela-
tives are digging all over the farm
hunting for more hidden wealth.
