generally the same. and the extent and
features of the antarctic continent re.
main almost as much in doubt as ever
despite the attainment of the pole.
There is considerable interest in the
announcement that Amundsen now plans
an expedition to the arctic. His sue
cess in making the northwest passage
and his attainment of the south pole
make him an unquestioned leader in
polar exploration.
The fact that he intends to again
use the Fran, the vessel which he used
in this expedition and which Nansen
used in reaching his furthest north, lends
interest to this stout little craft. The
Fran now holds the record for the furth-
est north and furthest south. Drift
ing in the arctic sea, locked in the ice
and fighting her way south in the an
taretic, the Fran has attained honors
which come to few vessels.
The London Times severely criticised
Amundsen for stealing march on the
Englishman. 1t ridicules Amundsen's
announcement that he intended max
ing dash for the north pole, but
changed his mind later and decided to
try for the opposite end of the earth.
The Times insists that Amundsen pur-
posely misled the public when he start
ed on his journey so that Scott would
not know that he had arrived at his
heels.

MAY BE FORCED
TO TAKE STUMP
Roosevelt Is Said to Be Receiving Let
tiers From Various Parts of the
Country, Urging Him
To Do So.

Oyster Bay. y. Y, March ll.-Col
Roosevelt has about made up his mind
to take the, stump and personally make
the fight in various parts of the coun.
try for the presidential nomination He
said Saturday that he probably would
be forced to do so, although he said
he had been reluctant to decide upon
such course.
Since the day Col Roosevelt's an
nouncement that he was willing to ac-
cept the nomination he has been urged
by supporters in almost every state, ex-
cept in the South to take up a speech
making campaign 1t has been repre-
sented to him that in several states
the voters were in doubt, and that if
he would appear before them the result
might be materially affected. Governor
Stubs of Kansas sent a message Fri
day, urging the colonel to make speeches
in Kansas, Michigan, Illinois, Massachu-
chetts and other states in which the
Roosevelt leaders believe there is the
best chance for effective work.
Col Roosevelt said he would not OBJ
jet to making a few speeches, but that
as soon as he accepted any invitation
OF the sort he probably would have
Others pressed upon him, and might find
it difficult to refuse. In addition to
his scheduled speeches, he has been
obliged ON his trips in the past to talk
from his train to crowds at the railway
stations wherever stops were made. and
he has found the strain such a severe
one that he hesitates to undertake it
again.
He said, however, that it probably
would be necessary for him to do SO.
It is likely that he will make his first
speeches soon. owing TO the urgent re-
quests to act speedily, which he has re-
ceived in the last few days.
Col Roosevelt took a rest Saturday.
His services as a juror were not re-
quired, as there was no session Of court,
and he spent the day in riding horse
back and chopping trees. He read Presi-
dent Tafts speech. delivered Friday at
Toledo and said that he would probably
reply to it later.

here yesterday morning about s o'clock
WEile standing in a bath tub half full
of water and at the same time at
tempting to turn an electric light switch.
Mrs. Lawrence heard cry in the
bathroom and found her husband hang
ing to the switch She saw where the
trouble lay and dragged the body to
the uoor. Physicians were summoned
at once and pronounced death to have
been instantaneous from electrocution.
The lighting company has tested the
circuits leading to the house and finds
them in perfect order, with no short
circuits or grounds. 1t is believed MIR.
Iawrence's hand was wet and this with
his feet in the water gave an almost
perfect contact which may have been
combined with some weakness of vi
tai organ TO render the light current of
10 volts fatal.
Mr. Lawrence was 80 years of age and
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. George 4. Law
renee, who survive him. He was edu-
Gated at the Rutland high school and

be made public to-day, inviting Presi-
dent Taft or those who represent him,
to submit the pending issue as TO who
shall be named as the Republican can
didate this year to popular primaries.
It has been evident for some time that
the supporters of the Roosevelt candi-
dacy intend to make a strong play on
the subject Of presidential primaries.

the Roosevelt campaign, sent another
letter to Representative Mckinley, who
is in charge OF the Taft bureau, rela-
