REPORT NOT TRUE

HEARD NOTHING OF HIN

POLE SEARCH.

LONDON, March ga rumor puo-
lished here today that CAPTAIN ROD
ert r. Scott, the British Antarctic
explorer, had reached the South Pole
excited intense interest throughout
England, but up to midnight was
without confirmation. Mrs. Scott. the
explorers wife. who lives In Lon
don, declared that she has had no
word for some time fror~ her hug
band and a news agency wnicn
claims to be the news representative
OF Captain Scott, has no informa-
ton. This source says that II expects
no word from Captain Scott for some
time to come. 1t is admitted that
Captain Scott must De somewhere
near his cherished goal by this t-rne,
and news that he had succeeded In
reaching the South Pole would not
be surprising.
The captain is an Officer Of the
British army. The Terra Nova, IN
which his expedition sailed. left I.oh-
don June /, 1910, and was noned later
in New Zealand by Captain scott.
Stores sufficient for three years were
taken aboard. In January 1911, Cap
tain Scott and party went south 70
establish supply stations. his vessel
returning to Auckland.
Ponies, Dogs and Motors
Al Through last summer 1t was the
intention to make the final nrepara-
lions for the last dash toward the
pole which was to be carried out at
the end OF the year just closing. 1t
Is assumed therefore that II thr ex-
petition has been successful. Cap
tain Scott Is on his WAY TO civilization.
Captain Scott has with him sixty
men. twenty Siberian ponies. thirty
dogs and two motor sledges.
From Beardmore Glacier dog
team with a relay of men was to
transport the loads over the glacier
surface, and a picked party of men
and dogs were to make the final dash
across the inland Ice sheet. Motor
siedges were to be the main agent
In the transport plan. and Captain
Scott thought that IL the pa reach
ed the foot of the glacer there could
be little doubt that ii would ascend
IL and thus simplify the difficulties OF
the further journey.
Has Tried Before.
Captain Scott led an expedition
to the Antarctic In 1872 and 1904,
when he managed to reach SO .degre~.

record until 1903. when Sir Ernest
Shac's~lton. member OF first Scott
expedition, managed to get within Ill
miles Of the South Pole, when his
supplies ran out, and he had to re-
turn. He furnished Scott with mncn

HILL MAY RETIRE,
Rumor Says Son Will Succeed Him as
Chairman of Great Northern,

p. St. Paul, May .S.-James J.. Hill,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Great Northern railroad, left for
New York Monday night. The report
is current in local railroad circles
that he soon will retire and be sue
ceeded by his son, Louis w. Hill, now
president of the road, and that his
eastern mission is to confer with the
stockholders about the proposed
changes.
Louis w. Hill left for Glacier Ma
tional park Monday night, to be gone
for two weeks. Before leaving, he
confirmed the rumor that Carl r.
Gray, president of the Spokane, Port
land and Seattle, a subsidiary line of
the Great Northern, about June 1,
would come to St. Paul as an execu-
tive of the road. He would not say
in what capacity Mr.. Gray will serve,
but it is generally believed that Mr..
Gray will become president when L.
w. Hill succeeds his father as chair
man of the board.

ELWELL LAW UNDER FIRE,
Is Now Under Consideration By the
State Supreme Court on Appeal.

The test case against the Elwell
road law, passed at the last session
of the state legislature, was argued
before the state supreme court Mon
day on an appeal taken from an Or
der by Judge Lewis of the Ramsey
county district court, made March 27
sustaining the demurrers of the de-
PENDANTS. The action which is a
friendly one, is brought by Fred H.
Murray, former mayor Of White Bear
against State Treasurer Smith, State
Auditor Iverson, C. NJ. Babcock, Clar-
ence l. McNair and F. S. Bell of the
state highway commission and G.. w.
Cooley, secretary of the commission
and state engineer. The arguments
for the state were made by Assistant
Attorney General Stevens, with At
torney Thomas McDermott for the ap-
pellant.
Attempt is made on the suit to stop
payment on road running east from
Au1SI 1C!Ncl dis, L WILL
ty, costing $17,O14.O1. There are
about sixteen applications before the
state highway commission for roads
to be built under this law upon which
the commission has taken no action
pending the outcome of the litiga-
ton.
The appellant claims the law is
unconstitutional and void, in that
it is in violation of Section 1, Article
8, of the Constitution of Minnesota.
The main dispute is whether rur-
al road shall be built on money raised
by general taxation or whether ad-
joining property should be assessed
one-fourth. Under the Elwell law,
bonds may be issued for road work,
payable in ten annual installments,
the state to pay one-half the cost, the
county one-fourth and the benefited
property the other fourth. The sup
porters of the law claim rural road
is just as much local improvement
as city street or drainage ditch.
