great capital 1t is the capital of
the Villayet of Adrianople, and in
1905 had a population of $4,000, of
whom half were Turks and half Jews,
Greeks, Bulgarians and Armenians.
It occupies both banks of the river
Tunja, at its confluence with the
Martha, which is navigable as far as
Adrianople in spring and summer.
The Noble Mosque of Selim.
In appearance the city is truly ORR
entail, a mass of mean, irregular
wooden buildings, threaded by mar
row, torturous streets. The most i'm
portant and interesting structures,
ones which form the greatest ele-
ment in the Turk s sacred respect for
the city, are the Eski Esrai, an an
cient and half-ruined palace of the
early Sultans; the bazaar of Ali Pasha
and the 10th century mosque of Sui
tan Selim II. This latter is by far
the greatest building the city pos
sesses. 1t is magnificent specimen
of Turkish architecture, perhaps the
best the Turks have produced, for
San Sophia, in the capital, cannot be
attributed so much to the Turks as
to the Romans.
Here in the squalor of an out-of-
the-way town-a town which, but for
the fact that it is the center of war,
might go unknown to most OF the
one of the finest build
ings in Europe. The mosque is GER
tainly a noble structure and stands in
a commanding situation. Its vast In
terror constitutes a dome nearly
equal in diameter to that of the
Pantheon. The arrangement of the |
portico, with its ancient pillars OF
green marble, is most impressive.
A Holy City.
Here on this majestic building |
waves the green flag of the crescent. |
The Sultans who reigned over the |
empire before Constantinople fell are
buried here. To the men who have
been fighting behind it's wall Adri-
anople is indeed a sacred-a holy
city.

A GRAPHIC PICTURE
OF DEATH OF CAPT. SCOTT AND
COMPANIONS AT SOUTH POLE.
Amundsen, the Great Explorer, Tells
What Must Have Happened on
Great EXpanse of Ice.

CHICAGO.-A thrilling picture Of
the probable manner in which Rob-
ert F. Scott and four of his compan-
ions met death on the ice barrier
close to the earth's southern extrem-
ity was painted verbally by Captain
ROAD Amundsen, discoverer Of the
South Pole, who was in Chicago TO-
day.
1T is hard to say just what hap
pened," said the Norwegian explorer,
but we can imagine, perhaps, al
though it is horrible. We know, of
course, that it happened about the
10Th parallel and that they were
down on the barrier and not on the
plateau and Just about here positive
knowledge stops.
Certainly they were exhausted
and starving. 1t may be they had
some scurvy among them-who can
say? At any rate, they were not in
fit condition to meet the terrible
blizzard when it came.
Not that billiards. are unusual.
Scott was prepared for billiards, for
he was no amateur. One may al
ways expect billiards. in that coun-
try.
But there they were-those poor
forlorn fellows-straggling along
without even ponies to draw their
sleds, for they had sent back their
last ponies when they reached
point $50 miles from the pole on
their journey southwark.
They were drawing their sledges,
weakened though they must have
been. They had no dogs, and that
was mistake, I am afraid. And
always before them there stretched
that awful waste of ice. Can you
see it? 1t is fiat ice stretched tight
across the country in long, CLASSY
undulations-str away so far
and white that the eye cannot bear
to follow it.
And across the frozen surface
sweeps the wind-furiously. The
| great fat 'expanse offers terrible
sweep for the blast and there is no
protection except what man is able
to build for himself"
Captain Amundsen passed a hand
/ across his eye.
and there they died." he said
softly. "Of course, Evans-Petty
/ officer Evans-had died already. He
fell on the ice. But the others must
have died within a short time of
each other.

very gates Of Adrianople. The towns
seems to have gone unmolested for
the next 200 years, and except for a
few minor war-like scenes was COM
paratively free from the havoc which
the sword had wrought about it dur
ing more than thousand years. At
ter two centuries of rest, however, its
peaceful quiet was disturbed by the
rude assaults of Theodore Angeles,
emperor of Thessalonica, who cap
tured it in the 18th century and held
it until Thessalonica was captured
by John of Nicea in 1885.
The Coming of the Turk.
Then from out the deserts and the
fierce lands beyond the seas came the
conquering Turk, and Adrianople,
with many a sister city, fell under
the spell of the irresistible Mussul-
man. One after another fell the cit
les of the Balkan peninsula before
the power of Murad l, Ottoman con-
queror, and in 1861 he became mas
ter of Adrianople, the last obstacle
between the Turks and CONSTANT
nople. From 1861 to 1853 Adriano-
pie was the capital of Turkey.
The shuttlecock of conquerors and
nations, the city has passed in kalei-
descopic rapidity from one existence
to another through almost 20 centu-
ries. 1t has been said that he who
holds Constantinople holds the
world. But he who holds Constan-
tinople cannot feel secure if he does
not hold Adrianople also. 1t is the
key to the Crescent City.

And to think that while those
brave men were dying in the waste
of ice I was lecturing in warmth and
comfort in Australia" he added in
hushed tones.
Captain Amundsen denied that he
had suggested that the men who met
death might have fallen into ere

1T is ridiculous" he asserted, ito
think that five men would fall into
a crevasse."
Captain Aumndsen made it plain
that the fate of Scott and his aides
would not deter him in his plans for

next year.
"Why should I hesitate?" he ask

they are really uncommon 1t is not

BUILDING OF
ROADS SOURCE
Of MUCH GRAFT
SEEMING IMPossIBILITY OF GET
TING THE LEGISLATURE TO
PASS GOOD ROADS ASSOCIA-
TONS BILL SAID TO BE DUE TO
SUCH A CAUSE.
BY FRANK L. HUFFAkER.

Tallahassee May s1.-Road building
has been and is the principal source
Of graft In the county politics Of Flor
ida, and any man who will take the
trouble to dig into the history OF vari-
Gus county bond issues, large and
small, will agree that this statement
Is absolutely true. I know whereof
speak, for I have torn my shirt" in
the newspapers in behalf Of road bond
issues, expecting great results there
from, and awakening afterward to the
fact that the people had got good
roads In exactly the same position in
which the axe landed on the chicken
while the politicians got the results"
Recently have heard dozens Of peo-
PIE express wonder at the seeming i'm
possibility Of getting the legislature
to pass the State Good Roads Associa-
TONS bill providing for the appoint
ment Of a high way commission and a
competent engineer to see that road
work in the various counties was prop
er1y done, the expense of which is to
be provided solely from a tax on the
automobiles of the state.
When the burden of appointing this
entirely upon automobile owners who
are perfectly willing and anxious to
pay the tax, why on earth don't the
legislature pass the bill unanimously,
is the question heard on other sides.
Here's the answer:
The men who handle the finances
and build the roads in various coun-
lies realize that the activity Of q
wideawake commission and expert en-
gineer will force them to build roads
that are roads, cutting off their graft,
and they don't want anybody to-
''meddle" with their affairs. These
men are always the political powers
that be in the counties, and they are
able to control many legislators, good
and bad, and as a result the clamors
Of the press and public for better
roads is met with Jay Gould's cele-
brated utterance, ''The people be
damned"

PRIEST IN AUTO
KILLS CHILD
DRIVING CAR, WHICH WAS
FULL OF CHILDREN, RUNS
DOWN LITTLE GIRL WITH
FATAL RESULTS-PoLIcE EX-
ONERATE HIM.

Wilmington, Del, May S1.-While
driving his automobile flied with chill
dren of his parish, Father John ].
Lynch, assistant rector of st. Thomas
Catholic church, ran into and instantly
killed Grace Geizler, years and 6
months old, today
The accident occurred in Father
Lynch's parish. The little victim was
a daughter of members of his church.
The priest, who is heartbroken, was
exonerated by the authorities. He was
liberated after going to the police sta
ton and explaining the fatality. No
charge was placed against him. The
child lived at 1905 West Sixth street,
in front of which the accident hap
pened.
When the clergyman had occasion to
so for decorations for church carni-
val, he picked up five small children
and took them along for a ride. The
little victim ran from the sidewalk di-
rectly in front of the car. Father Lynch
ran the car on to the sidewalk In
futile effort to escape striking the
child. a rear wheel passed over 1t,
killing it instantly.
Policeman Scott, who saw the acct
dent, accompanied Father Lynch to
