WOMEN VOTING TODAY.
Chevy Chase Problem Submitted to
Residents. Regardless of Sex.

"Votes for women were in evidence at
the election held in Chevy Chase today
to ascertain definitely the sentiments OF
the residents Of the village on the ques-
ton of a charter of incorporation. All
persons qualified under the laws of Mary
land and all property owners and tax
payers, regardless of sex, are given the
privilege of casting their ballots. and a
number of women who own Chevy Chase
property were waiting when the polls
opened in the library building this morn
ing, wishing to cast their ballots before
coming to the city.
Ballots have been printed on various
tints of paper, each division of the VII
lage being given different tint. This is
done for the purpose of getting an &C
curate idea of the sentiment, either for
or against Incorporation. as 1t exists In
the different divisions of Chevy Chase.
The polls opened at O'Clock this MORN
ing and will close at { this evening. The
election is in charge of board OF seven
judges, who will pass on the qualifications
of voters according to the tax lists and
the known length of residence In Chevy
Chase.
At noon a large vote had been polled,
and it was said that indications favored
a big majority for the charter and In
corporation proposition. Man and wom-
an voters fiocked to the library In num-
bers during the forenoon. and the stream
of .balloters continued almost uninter-
ruptedly during the afternoon.
DR.. James Dudley Morgan, chairman OF
the original charter committee Of fifteen,
announced today that the committee and
delegation of Chevy Chase residents, who
will present the vote to Senator Blair Lee
will leave for Annapolis, over the electric
line, at 1OO o'clock next Wednesday
afternoon.

HOW AMUNDSENS STORY
!. CAME TO CIVILIZATION
Flashed Under the Pacific, Across
Canada, to London, Then
to New York.


LONDON, March 9.-Capt. Amundsen
wrote the long dispatch telling Of his
trip aboard the Fran and handed it in at
Hobart, whence it was transmitted to
Sydney by the Australian state telegraph
department. At Sydney it was put on
the cable of the Pacific cable board for
transmission over 1000 miles Of sea to
Bamf1eld. Vancouver, where 1t was re-
ceived in recorder characters by the
automatic curb system, originally design
ed by the late Lord Kelvin. and in which
the letters of the alphabet are taken like
Hertzian waves.
At Bamfield the message was trans
ferred into Morse code. and passed
through Canada over the line which the
Pacific cable board rents from the Cana
dian Pacific railway to Montreal, dis
lance of 1900 miles From Montreal the
message was transferred to the CONNER
cial Cable Company for transmission to
London, whence it was dispatched by
Western Union cable to New York.

SPOILED NUTS SEIZED.
CONSIGNMENT From New York Con-
fiscated at Railway Warehouse.

Nuts with moldy, rancid, shriveled or
wormy kernels are not proper for human
consumption, according to the decision
reached by the pure food inspectors OF
the Department of Agriculture Accord
ing to Inspector Earnshaw, if the de-
partment can prevent it, no SUCH nuts
shall be offered for sale.
Acting under this decision. United
States Attorney Wilson and Assistant
United States Attorney Smith today filed
libel, under the pure food law, against
five bags of English walnuts shipped
from New York. which were detected at
the railway warehouse before delivery To
the consignee in this city.
From samples examined by the ex-
perts. it is claimed. only a small portion
of the nuts were edible. and the departs
ment determined to seize the whole con-
sisnment. Justice Barnard directed the
marshal to take the consignment into his
custody and to allow the departments
experts to take other samples for analy-
sis.

actual use In effect. when navigatOrs
have met with desert countries in which
those of other countries had in their
transient visits erected some sort OF mon
ument to show their having taken pos

regard to that empty ceremony as to the

Must Be Actual Occupation.
Wherefore the recent annexation for
the British empire of parts of east Ant
arctica, including the south magnetic
pole. by the British expedition led with
Shackleton does not give title to that
newly discovered land, in the absence Of
an actual occupation, any more than
does the annexation by Sverdrup for Nor
way of some of the land he was the first
to explore far to the north of the pos
sessions of the Dominion of Canada.
while there is no immediate prospect
that man will be able to harness nature
even in part in the Antarctic continent,
still, owing to continued discoveries in
the world of physical sciences, he may
some day be able, in order to draw upon
the mineral deposits of that region, to
establish himself on the ice and snow
covered south polar land. With such. a
possible future contingency it would seem
that it would be well to follow the rule
adopted in the case of Spitzbergen. In
that cluster Of northern islands few
hardy pioneers-Americans, Norwegians,
Danes Englishmen, Russians and others
have established themselves for the
summed or winter season, and two min
ing enterprises are now being carried on
there.
But, unlike the case of Greenland.
where Denmark has made land hers by
actual effective occupation, no nation has
successfully asserted a claim to the pos
session of the SpitZbergen archipelago.
On the contrary, the islands have come to
be regarded a joint possession of all
mankind and with this liberal end in
view the government Of Norway has in
vited the governments Of the other ma
TONS some of whose citizens have sought
SpitZbergen as a place for commercial
gain, to send delegates to a conference
to be held at Christiania this year to ar
range for the application Of civil law and
order to Spitzbergen. On general prin-
ciples it would seem that both eastern
and western Antarctica. two lands now
SO much more difficult for man to occupy
than Spitzbergen. should, following the
liberal policy that has come to prevail IN
the case Of Spitzbergen, become COM
mon possessions Of all the family OF
nations.

Apparently the Guggenheims are contemplating the breaking of the German antimony trust which now furnishes the worlds supply of anti mony and regulates prices, and are looking to the Panama to supply them with the ore to do this.
 According to letters and telegrams received by w. B, Vanderlip, the mining engineer, the Guggenheims are considering the question of in stalling plant at the Tacoma shelter for the treatment of anti mony. At present there is but one plant, in the United States. that at Grassila, Ill.,, and this is owned by the antimony trust.
 There is a great deal of antimony in the Fairbanks district which can be milled and shipped to Tacoma at an enormous profit once the shelter is in position to receive 1t.
