One pathetic feature of the affair
which was noted today was that Mrs.
Scott does not know of her husbands
death, and may not learn of it until The
steamer Aorganl, upon which she sail
ed from San Francisco on February
touches New Zealand.
Peced together. the frasmentary
facts surrounding the great south pole
tragedy are these:
After reaching the south pole on Jan

four companions turned back and head

sound The trip was fraught with dis

glacier The weather was abnormally
cold, and the dogs and ponies suffered
from frostbite, While the progress was
so slow that the food and fuel began
to run low before the party had trav-
eled 100 miles from the pole.
Captain Oates fell sick from expos ure

A dispatch 10 The New York World

JOY RIDERS OR BANDITS?
Wrecked Touring Car Found, but
Occupants Missing.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. lS.-A gray
touring car wrecked and unidentified
lying in ditch fifteen miles south OF
Mount Clemens, Mich., with no trac-
es of the party that drove wildly
through Detroit early today, eXchang-
ing revolver shots with local police,
has halted Detroit and Mount Glenn
ems police officials in their attempts
to apprehend the mysterious occu-
pants OF the car, at first believed to
be the Bryan, Ohio, automobile ban
dts, who shortly after midnight held
up and robbed a touring party OF
$4,000 in currency, besides consider
able jewelry.
With reports of the hold-up near
Bryan freshly received, the Detroit
police early today were on the watch
fer an automobile carrying the rob-
bers, who supposedly had started for
Detroit.
When a car manned by three or
four persons sped through the city,
answering orders to halt with revolv-
er shots and finally eluding a motor
cycle policeman and three high-poW-
cred police automobiles, besides a
score of patrolmen sent in pursuit
the police believed the Bryan thieves
had escaped them. The car shot away
toward Mount Clemens and the au-
thorities there were rotifed. Tie
flying automobile never reached
Mount Clemens, and later to-day Al
interurban railway conductor report
ed the finding of an automobile
wrecked in ditch south of Mount
Clemens, which is believed to: be the
machine that sped through Detroit
Up to tonight the automobile had
not been identified and no traces OF
the party had been found.
With the reports oi the apprehen-
sion of the Bryan robbers confirmed
the police now believe that the HH-
tomobile carried party Of "Ioy
riders,' perhaps with stolen car
taking desperate chances to avoid ar
rest.

tanned THE MONARCH.
The Part a Silver Inksand Played in
a National Crisis.

The pages OF history record many
instances in which trivial incidents
have shaped the destinies of nations.
According 10 a story in the New York
Tribune, q small silver inkstand and
the quick wit of prime minister
once played an important part in the
history of the Netherlands.
William III, king of the Neither
lands, was a man of violent and un-
governable temper. Although in gen-
eral, clever statesman, he was in
clined, for some reason or other, to
involve Holland in the trouble that
was brewing between France and
Germany in 1870. He was deaf to
the appeals of his ministers, who
foresaw the ruin to the country that
war would bring.
Thorbecke. the prime minister, re-
solved to make one last attempt to
change his majesty's resolution. On
entering the royal presence Thor
becke was greeted with rough
Good morning, What's the news??"
Nothing particular, your majesty.
Only the people of the Hague are
talking great deal of nonsense
about your majesty.
About me- exclaimed the mon
arch in wrath. What do they say
about me?'
"Well, sir" answered the old
statesman, The Haguers declare
that your majesty has become stark,
staring mad" Before he could utter
another word King William, his face
purple with fury, jumped up and seiz-
ed a heavy silver inkstand, with the
intention of hurting it at the head
of the premier. Fortunately a pro-
jecting angle of the inkstand caught
in the table cloth and dragged it off
the table with everything upon it.
In the confusion the discharge of the
missile was delayed for a moment.
Sire" exclaimed Thorbecke quiet
ly, if your majesty hurls that beauti-
full inkstand at my head The
Huguers will have much reason for
their assertion!"
For minute the angry king gazed
in silence at his minister. Then he
gradually lowered his arm andreplac-
ed the inkstand on the table. He
walked to one of the windows and
stood looking out for few minutes.
Returning to the table, he resumed
his seat and said, as if nothing had
happened:
And now tell me what you have
got to say
An hour later, when the states
man left, he carried with him the
monarch's promise to issue a procla-
nation that would declare the neu-
trality of Holland.

ORIGIN OF DUELS.
Judicial Combats Began with Celts
and Spread to Other Nations.

Duelling took it's rise from the jug
dicial combats of the Celtic nations.
The first formal duel in England,
tetween William, Count d'Eu and
Godfrey Baynard. took place in 1896.
Duelling in civil matters was for
hidden in France in 1906. Francis
CHALLENGED the Emperor Charles Y.
IL vain in 1928. The fight with
small swords was introduced into
England in 1887.
4 proclamation was made in 1879
that no person should be pardoned
who had killed another in a duel.
The custom was checked in the Brit
ish army in 1892, and was abolished
in England by the aid of public opin-
ion.-Kansas City Star.

Wrecks Costly in Human Life.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE prob
able cost of the latest New Haven
wreck in money damages to be paid
by the railroad company to the in
jured and the legal representatives
of the dead is estimated at 100000
by experts of the interstate COM
merce commission and at $50O,0OO
by lawyers experienced in the trial of
negligence actions.
The cost to the railroads of the IA
New Haven wrecks in the last 27
months, in which 70 persons were
killed and 400 injured, is estimated
at 100000 for the dead and $780,
900 for the injured
These estimates are based on the
results of the action against the New
York Central railroad, arising out of
the collision in the Park avenue
tunnel on January s, 1902, when 10
persons were killed and SO injured.
Many of the victims were New York
busiess men. The New Central paid
s1,0O0,O0O to the victims or their
families.
The cost to the New Haven road
of the latest wreck damage to its
equipment and in the expense OF
clearing away the wreck is estimated
at 100000. An indication of the
expense involved is shown in reports
bv the railroads to the interstate
commerce commission of the dam
ages to equipment and the cost of
clearing the wrecks.
The cost for the last five years
was as follows: 1907, S12,6S5, 1902;
1908, 0S,s10,1s3,66O; s0s,s7,4s0,203;
1910, s9,S51,7S0, and 1912, SILL
527,4S5. The officials of the inter-
state commerce commission believe
that the cost of 1913 will exceed all
previous records.
The records show 1SS,037 persons
killed and 1,395,61S injured on rail-
roads in the last "a years. This is
an annual average of 1885 persons
killed and $3.50 injured. Over SO
per cent of the whole number killed
are classified in the records as tres
pessers.'
The Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific
New York Central, Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe and the Chicago and
Northwestern railroads have organ
lied safety committees among their
employees with good results.
The Chicago and Northwestern's S
report for the three years ended
June 80, 1913, is as follows:
SO passengers killed.
6.433 passengers injured.
1873 outsiders killed.
157 outsiders injured.
1t is estimated that s6O,000,OOO
was paid out last year in personal
claims for accidents on railroads.

His Ability to Succeed.

That a Bamberg county farmer
sold 1000 bushels of commercial

the past spring to farmers in Texas,

have about 1000 bushels of ear corn

Daughter Kills Drunken Farmer.

Clayton, Ca, Sept. 19.-Manuel
Nichols, Jr., a farmer living ten
miles from here, was shot and kill
ed by his 15-year-old daughter We'd
nesday night after he had tried to
slay his baby in a drunken fit and
announced that he intended to muir
Ger the whole family
The Nichols homestead is in a
lonely stretch of country hidden in
the hills. From the meager details
received here it seems that Nichols
came home late at night raving bois-
terously that he meant to "clean up"
the household. AS the mother and
children crouched trembling in one
corner the drunken father battered
in the door, seized his shot gun and
fired.
The charge struck his youngest
baby. Before Nichols could fire
again his young daughter grappled
with him and, turning the gun upon
her father, pulled the trigger. The
load plowed a red lane, through
Nichols breast and tore his right
arm from his body He died Instant
ly.
Nichols was 40 years of age. Coun-
ty officers have been dispatched to
the scene of the tragedy. 1t is be-
lieved that Nichols infant victim
will die.
