SCOTS DIARIES SAFE.
Terra Nova. With Survivors Aboard
ReacheS New Zcaland-NIiracuIous
Escape OF Part of Expedition.

London, Feb. 13.-The London
| Daily Mails dispatch today from
| Christchurch, y. H., states that the
Terra Nova arrived at Lyttleton to-
day and that the survivors of the
| Scott expedition all observe extreme
! reticence when the subject Of the dis
aster is broached. Captain Evans re-
fused to discuss the matter and has
forbidden his fellow officers to do so.
The bodies, it is said, could have
| been brought back, according to Com
mander Evans, but all agreed to leave
them in their white mantle, where
| they had worked and died.
Full diaries by Scott and other
members of the Inflated polar party
have been recovered intact, most of
which have not been opened. These
will be forwarded to their relatives
and Commander Evans will compile
SCOTS book with other members of
the expedition. Captain Scott kept
a daily record until March IA, and
spent the last day in writing his mes
| sage to the public.
The escape Of Lieutenants Camp
bell and Merthern is described as
| miraculous. Their comrades were
Dr. Levick, Mr.. Priestly, geologist,
and Seamen Abbott, Browning and
Dickinson. They were landed at
Cape Adare in February, 1912, in
tending to make a short sledge jour
| ney and return to the Terra Nova
before she sailed for New leland. Ice
prevented the ships reaching them
| and they were left to their own re-
sources for nine months, until No
vember, 1912, with only two months
provisions.
Lieutenant Campbell gives a graph
| lc description of the party's life in
igloo, in which they lived through
the long Antarctic winter. Here they
existed in absolute darkness except for
1iiO A1iHN SiCdlll plOuuCeu ny the seal
blubber lamp. Their supply Of bis
cults was soon exhausted and from
that time on they lived entirely on
seal meat. Extraordinary hardships
were endured by all.
On the return journey to Cape
Evans Browning and Dickinson were
i'll and the latter was carried on a
sledge. Commander Evans declares
the public can have no concep son of
tn hardships which Lieutenant
Campbell and party endured.
While going south to bring back
the explorers the Terra Nova passed
between two immense icebergs in a
fog and fine seamanship alone pre-
vented the destruction of the ship.

TEST INCOME TAX LAW
Case Will be Taken Direct to Su.
preme Court

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE suit to test
the income tax law was thrown out
of the United States court here today
by Judge Lands, who decided that
he had no jurisdiction. The effect of
his decision, which does not involve
the constitutionality or unconstitu-
tionality of the law, is to send the
case direct to the supreme court of
the United States.
In the presentation of his case, At
torney Cochran alleges that the law
taxes only a small number out of a
population of ninety-nlne millions,
| which tax he said was imposed on
them without their consent by the
untaXed remainder of the population.
Even If congress has the right to
impose this tax, the lawyer said, it
was graded with such gross inequali-
ties as to violate the constitution.
Attorney Cochran insisted that if
all incomes were taxed in the same
ratio as that of the plaintiff, those of
more than $2,5OO,O 900 a year-and he
said there were several in the coun-
try-wOuld be assessed 100 per cent,
or in other words, would have to pay
all in excess of $780, 900 into the
United States treasury.
Thus. he argued, his client was not
granted the equal protection of the
law, guaranteed by the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution.

Invented Grain Binder

Chicago. Dec. 1O.-William Deering
the harvester manufacturer, died last
night at Miami, Fla, his winter home.
In 1879 and 1880 Mr.. Deering at
the risk of his fortune put on the mar
ket a grain binder invented by J. F.
Appleby, which automatically bound
the sheaves with Irvine. This ma
chine lacked much in the first years
of becoming a complete success but
today almost all the grain harvested
by machinery is gathered by it.
This success was jeopardized for q
time by the failure to find a Irvine
adapted to the use of the binder. A
successful Irvine was manufactured
from Manila fibre.

President Considering Plans for Pre-.

venting Monopoly
Washington, Dec. 1O.-The scope of
President Wilson's program of anti
trust legislation became fairly well
defined today at the end of a confer
ence at the White House between the
president and democratic members of
the judiciary committee, which is to
undertake the preparation of the ad-
ministration bills
The measure to be advanced for ac-
ton at this session will aim at the fol.
lowing results:
Definition of the various forms of
monopoly and restraint of trade,
which would be "c~onclusively deem
ed" unreasonable and In violation of
the law.
Placing on the defendant the burden
of proof to show that there is no 'un-
reasonable restraint or trade"
Prohibition of interlocxfng director
ates between large corporations.
Establishment of an interstate
trade commission, to exercise regula-
tory power, make original investiga-
tions, and aid the courts in carrying
out DEGREES of dissolution of trusts.
The president emphasized in the
conference today the need Of legal
bounds for business activity that will
place the smaller business men on an
equality with the larger; and that will
give to the business world in general
a clear legal definition of the forms
of combination Of trade that are un.
lawful.
