clined to give to Judge Wright of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, any assurance that he ex-
pected thereafter to lend adherence
to the DEGREES of the judicial tribun-
ais Of this land" To do so, he de-
clared. would be an admission that he
had heretofore failed to comply with
lawful decrees. Mr.. Mitchell said he
had rather be convicted of contempt
than be acquitted on any other ground
than the facts in the case.

lows:
Judge Wright.
"Sir-At the close of my examina-
ton in the contempt proceedings in
stituted against Mr.. Gompers, Mr. Nor

was free at any time before these pro-
ceedings closed to give expression to
the court, either orally or in written
communication, on the subject of the
following recommendations:
1.-The court strongly recommends
that you consider again the propriety
or acquainting the court before these
proceedings close with your conviction
whether you ought, and whether you
expect, hereafter to lend adherence to
the DEGREES Of the judicial tribunals of
the land in matters committed by law
to their jurisdiction and power
Il have given the courts recon-
mendation careful thought and serious
consideration, as a result of which
desire to say I believe that a state

would be subject to no other inter
probation than that l have heretofore
lawful DEGREES of the court and that
my evidence in this proceeding was
not truthful and sincere and in keep
ing with the facts in the case. I am
not willing to make any statement
that would impugn my own testimony.
am not willing by any device or sub
terfuge to attempt to deceive the

ANOTHER DIXON EP|sTLE
Is the Colonel Afraid the Chicago
Convention Will Nominate
Taft?

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, D. c., March 6.--An-
other letter was added today to the
literature of the presidential primary
challenge" episode. Mr. Roosevelts
manager, Senator Dixon, replying to
the demand of Director Mckinley of
the Taft bureau, to know by whom
Mr.. Dixon had been given authority
to issue the primary challenge to the
Taft forces, wrote: 'In addressing you
l acted as the representative of the
men elected by popular vote to stand
as the heads of the government in
their several states, to whom Colonel
Roosevelt's letter of February "a was
sent" Senator Dixon charged the
Taft forces with seeking to evade
the issue through the subterfuge of
appearing to question my authority in
submitting the primary proposition to
you"
He declares his authority to issue
the challenge is based on Mr.. Roose-
velt's letter to the western governors
February "a, in which he announced
his readiness to accept the nomination
and expressed the hope that direct
presidential primaries would be ar
ranged for in every state.
'No clearer authority for my chal-
lenge could be had" said Senator Dix
on, in his letter. Chairman Mckinley
of the Taft campaign committee was
not at the headquarters when Sena-
tor Dixon's second letter was deliv-
cred.

his federal troops are encamped tWen-
ty miles west of here on the line of

ing that he has no present intention

Four Other Expeditions Are In

(By Special Leased Wire to New McXican)
lished in an evening paper that Cap
tain Robert Falcon Scott, the British
Antarctic explorer, has reached the
South Pole. Mrs. Scott declares that
she has heard nothing from her hus-
band and there is no confirmation OBJ
tainable from any source.
Captain Scott of the British Royal
Navy is at the head of an expedition,
which included sixty men, twenty ST.
berian ponies, thirty dogs and two
motor sledges, which left England in
July, 1910, on the Terra Nova
His plans for the journey from King
Edwards Land to the Pole included the
Use of three means of sledge traction
ponies, dogs, and motOrs-and
ponies were to be taken in sufficient
numbers to insure a thoroughly ade-
quate amount of food being carried to
the base of Beardmore glacier.
Stores sufficient for three years were
carried.
In January 1911, Captain Scott and
his comrades went south to establish
depots, later returning to New Zea-
land. All through the summer, it was
intended to make the final prepara-
tons for the last dash toward the pole
which was to be carried out at the
end of the year.
Four other expeditions now are in
the Antarctic, each of them with
view to attaining the South Pole.
The most important of these is consid-
cred to be that of the Norwegian cap
tain, Roald Amundsen, who is utilizing

which DR.. Fridtjof Nansen used in his

the members of the Shackelton expedi-
tion The vessel used by him is the
Aurora which left Australia in No
vember, 1910.
