3lizzard-Were Waiting Ar
rival of Rescuers.
Oaharu, New Zealand, Feb.
1O.-Captain Robert F. Scott
and his party were overwhelm-
ed by a blizzard on their return
Journey from the south pole.
The entire party perished.
They reached the south pole
on the 18th of January, 1912.
This was just forty-five days
after the date which CAPTAIN
Roald Amundsen is reported to
have reached the southern ex-
tremity of the globe. Amund-
sen reported that he found the
pole on December ID, 1911.
The records of Scott's dis
covery and a partial history of
ms expedition were found with
the perished party.
SIXTY-SIX DIED.
The news of the appalling dis
aster which befell Captain Scott
and his companions was
brought to this port by a sig-
nailed message from the Terra
Nova, the vessel which had car
rled the explorer and his ex-
pedition to the antarctic, and
which late last year went once
again to the south to bring him
and his companions back.
The total number of deaths
involved in the calamity is not
exactly known, but it is beliey-
ed that sixty-six scientists and
sailors lost their lives.
Captain Scott's party reach
ed the exact point where Roald
Amundsen planted the Nor
wegian flag at the south pole.
They found there the hut
constructed and left behind by
Amundsen's party.
These facts were recorded in
the documents found on the
bodies of the dead explorers
when they were recovered.

ALMOST READY FOR
TAFT'S SIGNATURE
Senate Passes Webb Measure
Without Roll Call-WOuld
Prohibit Interstate Shipment
of intoxicating Liquors In
tended for Unlawful Sale.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-The
senate today, by a viva voce
vote, passed the Webb liquor
bill already passed by the house
as a substitute for the Kenyon
Sheppard bill.
The Webb bill would prohibit
shipments of Intoxicating
liquors from one state to an
other when intended to be re-
ceived or sold in violation of
the law of the state to which
the shipment is made.
Friends of the legislation now
will seek to have the house con-
cur in the senate bill, which diff
fers from the bill passed by the
house only in number. Should
that be done the bills will not
be considered in conference. but
the measure passed by the SEN
ate will go to the President for
his signature.
The substitution of the Webb
bill for the Kenyon-Sheppard
bill came at the close of pro
longed debate and was by viva
voce vote, no roll call being de-
manded.
The vote was first upon the
perfection of the Kenyon-Shep-
pard bill. BY a vote of 81 to %
the senate agreed to the COM
mittee amendment adding a
section to the bill which provid-
ed in terms that intoxicating
liquors should become subject
to state laws as soon as it
crosses state boundaries.
Senator Hitchcock's amend
ment to except liquors intended
for personal use was defeated
without roll call and one bv
Senator O'Gorman excepting
liquor intended for personal and
Tor sacramental use was like
wise defeated, 81 to so.
Senator Kenyon succeeded in
having the measure amended
to become operative july
1913. Thereupon Senator Gal
llnger asked for the substitu-
tlon of the Webb bill for the
senate measure. He likewise
succeeded in having the title
amended so as to bring the
house in accord as to the num-
Der of the bills.

BOTH SIDES SUFFER
in BLOODY BATTLE
Capture of Hill at Scutari Costs
MOntenegrins 2,5OO-Turks
Leave 1000 Dead-Turkish
Defenders Being Driven Back
by Enemy.

Podgoritza, Montnegro, Feb.
1O.-The Montenegrin army be-
seiging the Turkish fortress of
Scutari carried the great Bar
danjoli hill by assault at 1890
this morning after several
hours of severe fighting. The
victors lost $500 men killed and
wounded. The Turks left 1000
men on the field.
The infantrymen on several
occasions came into such close
quarters that hand-to-hand
fighting was general along the
line.
Bardanjoli hill dominates
Scutari from the eastern side
and the Montenegrins are
mounting seige guns on the
heights to lombard the city's
principal points.
Fighting has gone on since
early morning all around the
city. The Turkish defenders
are disputing the ground
against the besiegers with fierce
determination and courage.
A Montenegrin attack on the
heights of Tarabosch, which
dominate Scutari on the west,
has been going on for three
days. This onslaught is believ-
ed to have been as sanguinary
as the engagement at Bradan-
joli.

Tube and Watches Mans Di-
gestiOn.
Chicago, Feb. 1O.-Ferd c..
Week, who for 16 years has
swallowed no food, is giving aid
to science through observation
of his digestion process, accord
ing to Prof. A. j. Carlson, assis-
tant in the department of
physiology, at the University of
Chicago.
By means of a glass tube
through which an electric light
is introduced into the mans
stomach, DR.. Carlson last night
said he had been able to observe
and photograph the food at
every stage during the process
of digestion.
Since he was eleven years old,
Week has taken food through a
tube leading from the abdomen
into the stomach, the oesopha-
gus having been completely
closed when he swallowed a
strong solution. The man was
found working at his trade here
as a barber several months ago
Although it was intended only
liquids should be taken through
the tube, Week developed an
appetite for meats and vege-
tables, and after masticatinp
them successfully, introduced
them into the stomach through
the tube.

SUNDAY BLAZE
DAMAGES CHURCH
Methodist Church Narrowly
Escapes Destruction, Consid-
cradle Damage DOne-Fire-
men Do Good Work.

On Sunday, about 80 p. M,
the usual stiffness was broken
by the alarm of fire, which
proved to be in the handsome
new First Methodist church.
The customary morning service
had been conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. w. H. Hodges, and the
congregation had dispersed be-
fore the fire was discovered.
Several persons had noticed an
unusual amount of smoke about
the building for some time af-
ter the service and thought it
strange, but not suspicious
enough to warrant giving an
alarm. Finally smoke began to
issue from the basement of the
building, whereupon he alarm
was Immediately given. The
fire wagon and hose were soon
on the ground, but the smoke
was so dense in the building
that no flame could be discov-
cred, so a stream of water was
poured into the basement
where the furnace was located,
upon the supposition that the
fire was there. But the dense
smoke continued, showing that
the water had not reached the
flames, so the hose was turned
into the auditorium of the
church and also into the Sun
day school room, but still with
out result. Finally the win
dows were raised and when the
smoke was partially dissipated,
the fire was seen about midway
of the building, directly over the
furnace. A hole about five feet
square had been burned
through the sleepers and floor.
Several handsome pews were
burned and the floor under
meath the Sunday school room
was charred to considerable
extent. After the flames were
discovered it took only short
while to extinguish them. The
costly velvet carpet was very
much injured and it is feared
that the newly installed $4,000
pipe organ may have been hurt
by the water. The walls and
floor of the church were also
very much damaged by smoke
and water.
The church is the newest and
one of the handsomest edifices
in Lancaster, having been built
In place of a smaller structure
on the same site destroyed by
fire February 20, 1907. The
loss on the building is estimat-
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000
covered by insurance. The
other denominations of the
town have offered their
churches to the Methodist
brethren until the damaged
building is repaired.
Much praise is due the local
fire company for their prompt
response and efficient service.

In Hands of Politicians.
William c, Lewis. who followed

mended. the registration movement.
expressed the belief that 1t is the
duty of the voter to lay aside selfish
interests and vote as public interest
demands At present the government
is left largely in the hands of profess
sional politicians because of the In
difference of the business men, and
this Is by no means healthy con-
dition. Many of our best men are
not willing to offer for public Office
because of this Indifference. The
spoils system that exists in SO many
communities today and generally per-
vades politics was built up because
of this indifference. The welfare Of
this and every community. declared

ticians fine, and for that reason 1t
ought to be changed.
Root of the EVIL.
Archie D. Jones backed up this
presentation with the declaration
that the trouble and worry of Quail
flying and registering under the pres
ent system was the root of all the
trouble. and cited his personal ex-
perience as proof. He had paid his
poll taxes regularly and promptly.
but had not exercised his privilege of
the ballot az consistently as he should.
When he did want to vote he couldn't
find his tax receipts and the red
tape necessary to secure duplicates
so that he could qualify had so dis
eusted him that he gave up she
effort.
Joseph L. Levy and Captain John
Landstreet have no patience with the
Indifferent or careless citizen. The
former declared that he paid his poll
tax promptly when he was twenty
one years old: had paid 1t promptly
every year since. and for thirty-four
years had never failed to cast his
ballot in an election. The trouble.
he exclaimed was that the average
citizen nowadays wants you TO hand
him things on silver platters" Cap
tain Landstreet has never failed in all
these years-he didn't say how many
to vote except once when he let
business interfere with his trio to
the polls, and that time the best
friend he had on earth was defeated
That had cured him. On election
day from that time forth he had gone
to the polls first and let business take
care Of itself until he had done his
duty at the ballot box.
