and expresses the opinion that Scott
ceeded with new exploring and scien-
tific work. thus possibly delaying the
return of the Terra Nova for some
weeks. -
Scott May Have Been Thsrs.
The Royal Geographical Society ac-
cepts unqualifledly Captain Amundsen's s
claim that he reached the south pole
and takes it for granted that he was
the first explorer to reach the goal
altho Amundsen's brief dispatch does
not mention the fact.
Geographers point out. however, that
Captain Amundsen and Captain Scott
may both have been there and within
a mile Of each other without knowing
it, and scientists here are awaiting
further details before accepting def
nitely the defeat of the British expedi-
tion.
The message received yesterday by
the London Daily Express from Well
ington, in which Captain Amundsen
was reported as saying that Scott had
reached the south pole.@was based on
a telegram alleged to have been sent
by the Norwegian explorer, but the
authenticity Of which Captain Amund-
sen today denies.
In response to cabled instructions to
ask Captain Amundsen. point blank
whether Captain Scott reached the
south pole the correspondent of the
London Evening Star at Hobart tele-
graphed the following statement:
"Amundsen refuses to say anything
on the question as to whether Scott
reached the south pole or not"

scoTT NOT HONOR WINNER.

The confirmation of Capt. Roald
Amundsen's attainment Of the south
pole on Dec. IA, 1911, received today
from the explorer himself at Hobart,
Tasmania, sets at rest the conflicting
reports current on the subject yester-
day
A dispatch published by the Daily
Express yesterday morning dated
Wellington, New Zealand, declared that
Amundsen had stated that Scott had
reached the south pole. 1t was assumed
from this declaration that Amundsen
himself had not succeeded in attaining
the object Of his expedition and credit
was given generally to the British ex-
plorer.
Nothing s-hithertoo been heard
from Scott and Amundsen now denies
= that he said or telegraphed anything
referring to his British rival or his ex-
petition.
II -Aonor TO Amundsen.
The honor for the achievement of
reaching the south pole must now be
given to the Norwegian explorer until
Captain Scott announces the result OF
his expedition.
Captain Amundsen has for many
years been considered one of the most
daring and competent Arctic and Ant
arctic explorers. A sailor from his
youth, he started polar research at the
age Of 25, when he participated in the
Belgica Antarctic expedition under
command Of Gerlach. He was the first
OFFICER OF the vessel and the voyage
lasted from 1897 to 1899.
Naviaatsd Northwest Passage.
ON his return An1undsen made up his
mind to continue polar research, but
this time he decided to go to the north
in an endeavor to discover the north
west passage. He prepared himself for
the task by undergoing course of two
years study in magnetism and meteor
ology. He sailed for the north from
Christiania on board the Gjoa with
crew OF only eight men, June 16. 1903.
Proceeding to Lancaster SOUND ne
sailed past Cape Adelaide and King
Williams land and Doss straits. The
vessel wintered in that port.
s For many months Amundsen drifted
along and finally on Aug. 26 met an
= American, wshiaieT &C the east 1T Cane
Bathurst. He ultimately brought his
little vessel thru Bering strait, and
thus for the first time accomplished
the northwest passage. During the
/ voyage he determined exactly the po-
sition OF the magnetic pole. >Altogeth-
.er he was away from Normandy three
& years.

Amund.en Not American.

Seattle, Wash, March s.-A report
that Capt. Roald Amundsen filed ap-
plication for American citizenship here
some years ago proves to be un-
founded. The story resulted from con-
fusing the name Of Capt. Otto Sver-
drup, Arctic explorer, and former COM
mander of the Fran. with that of
Amundsen.
Sverdrup who was second in COM
mand during the Nansen north pole
expedition in the Fran, and who made
a second voyage in Arctic waters in
the same vessel, is in Seattle equipping
a fleet Of whalers for Alaskan waters.
He has taken out his first citizenship
