St. Paul Mimi. Feb. 11.-This
promises to be busy week in the
Legislature.
In the senate there are three
special orders, with the possibility
Of another being added, while the
house has one special order with
the possibility of another being
scheduled. In addition the grain
probe investigation will be continued
in the house and will very likely be
inaugn!ated in the senate.
The special orders in the senate
are the Stebbins bill to repeal the
second choice clause of the primary
act. which will come up at II O'Clock
Thursday; the Dunn bill to repeal
the entire primary act, and the
composite bill introduced by the cleo
tons committee embodying several
proposed amendments to the primary
law. Both Of the latter will come
up fr10dy morning.
Included in the composite bill are
amendments proposing to change the
date Of the primary election to the
third Tuesday in June, as advocated
by Sen. Ole Sageng; the Haycraft
suggestion of extending the non-par-
tisan feature to county officers; the
proposition of eliminating the right
to file by petition for non-partisan
Offices and the elimination Of pIac-
ing the names of candidates on the
primary ballot where there is no
contest.
1t is quite likely, also, that Sen.
r. D. Cashman's distance tariff meas
ure will be made a special order for
Thursday at 3 p. M, unless the rail-
road and warehouse commission asks
for more time in which to comply
with Sen. G. H. Sulivan's resolution
to furnish STATISTICS to show the prob
able effect on rates and local indus
tries, should the bill become law
The house yesterday defeated the
motion to postpone the womans'
suffrage bill by vote Of SO to IS,
so that this measure came up this
morning in that body.
1t is also understood that the re-
apportionment bill will be introduced
in the house today or tomorrow, and
that an effort will be made to have

London, Feb. News reached
the world Monday that Captain
Robert F. Scott, the antarctic explor-
err and an unknown number Of his
companions persisted In the antarctic,
while on their return from the south
pole.
They reached their goal January
Is, 1912, about month after Cap
tain Roa4d Amundsen, the Norweg-
ian, had planted the flag Of his
country there. They then turned
back toward the bases they had
formed on their outward Journey,
but were overwhelmed by q blizzard
The news Of the death Of tho ex-
plorers was brought to civilization
today by the captain Of the Terra
Nova, the vessel which had taken
Scott's expedition to the south, aud
which had gone again to fetch them
back after the accomplishment Of
their task.
A searching expedition recovered
the bodies aud records Of the party.
Only a few brief bulletins were
sent Monday from the New Zealand
port Of Oamaru by the captain Of the
Terra Nova, who related simply the
fate of the party and then pro-
ceeded with-his vessel for the port Of
.Lyttleton, where he should arrive
Thursday.
The news OF the disaster cast q
gloom over London which has been
Iunequaled since the death Of King
Edward.
It is believed here that the dtsas-
ter did not involve al OF tho Scott

WHY WILSON DROPPED ct"
Made President Elects Name Two
Spondees, Which Brought Success.

0POU0Ccog 6ESASHN OHSNCees
The mystery OF the disappearance OF
the word Thomas" from the name
Thomas Woodrow Wilson has at last
been explained. The president elect
was In 1890 a professor at Wesleyan
university. He was In the course OF
an evenings call upon fellow pro
lessor discussing the interesting sub
ject Of names and their value.
"For those who wish to achieve any
success I'm public life, said Professor
Wilson, 'the best kind OF name Is one
that consists OF dactyl and spondee.
For instance. Daniel Webster. The
next best kind OF name is one con
sIsting OF two spondees-Woodrow VII
son. for instance"
Which proves two things first, in
1890 Woodrow Wilson was ambitious
for a public career; second, Woodrow
Wilson was perfectly willing that ev-
cry one should know II.
The spondaical and dnctylic anecdote
OF the president elect has only now
reached the light of day. III Wilson
had failed OF election the story would
have died natural death. But now
everything that tastes OF the memory
OF Wilson's days as professor OF history
and political economy at Wesleyan Is
brought into the Iimeight.
