MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 25,
Lord Denman, governor general of
the commonwealth of Australia, re-
ceived a wireless message from DR.,
Mawson today in which he says;
Our sledging season has been very
successful We have opened up a
large area of new land both east and
west of Commonwealth bay. We
have obtained important new data
from numbers of stations in close
proximity to the magnetic pole.
The dispatch concludes.
TT is probable that six of the staff
of the expedition, as we'll as myself.
may be unavoidably detained for an
other year in the Antarctic"

Arrested as Fugitive.

Mrs. Marie Darnell, II years old,
was arrested this morning as she
stepped from the Norfolk and Wash
ington boat at the wharf in Wash
irgton. The arrest was made at the
request of acting Chief Of Police
Ford, of Norfolk, who wired that the
young woman was wanted in that
city on a charge of grand larnecy.
Mrs. DarneN said that she was at
a loss to understand how such a
charge could have been preferred
against her. She said that she had
left Norfolk last night to 60 to her
home in Western, W. Va, to see
her father, who was i'll, and who had
sent her $50 to come home On. She
had SAL in her purse when taken in
custody.
Going to Norfolk about three years
ago, Mrs. Darnell, who was former
ly Miss Marie McNamar, obtained
employment as a maid. About a year
later she married man named OAR
nell, but she had not been living
with her husband for some time, &C
cording to her story to the police.
She was emphatic in her assertions
that she was innocent of any wrong
doing and expressed willingness to
return to Norfolk and clear herself
Although she asserts she is only
IT, Mrs. Darnell looks to be at least
twenty. She was stylishly attirec
in blue talor-made suit, and wore
a large picture hat.

LOOKING THROUGH
DIFFERENT LENSES.

A preacher in Washington last Sun
day in the course of his sermon said
he saw the beginning of the Millen-
MUM, the long-foretold thousand
years of peace, as shepherds were
again watching their focks on the
hills of Judea as was being done over
nineteen centuries ago when the 81
lence of the night was broken by the
angelic chaoir proclaiming "Peace on
earth, good will to men,"
If this well meaning man would turn
his searchlight in other directions he
would see that men have not as YET
beat their swords into plough share:
nor their spears into pruning hooks
neither are nations about to learn wa,
no more.
Six thousand five hunderd men have
been killed and wounded during the
past few days in battles about Sou
tart.

TRIBUTE TO THE
VIRGINIA SENATORS.

w. S. Boswell, a native Of Virgil
MIA, but now residing in Brevard,
N. c., in communication to Bal
timore paper says:
"WiN you kindly permit an 8O-year
old Virginian space TO express his
cordial agreement with Mr.. W. P.
Moncure as stated in his letter of
January 8? At present resident OF
North Carolina, but born and max
ing my home in the Old Common
wealth for 20 years, I still keep in
touch with everything that concerns
her welfare, or asperses the charac-
ter of those whom she honors with
her confidence. Her present Sena-
tors have been the objects of much
bitter and unjust denunciation, prin-
cipally by men, Messrs. Jones, Glass,
Tucker, ct al, whose main object is
to put them out and get themselves
in. Senator Swanson's record is
open to all men. As representative
in Congress, Governor of the State
and Senator he has demonstrated his
ability, and no man has questioned
his integrity. Senator Martin, by his
unfailing attention to his duties, his
uniform courtesy and sane and SEN
sible observation-disclosures, has SO i'm
pressed his capacity for leadership
upon his associates that they have
called him to the highest post of re.
sponsfbility in their gift, and the
people of their state have recently
in no uncertain voice, given to botl
them the most emphatic endorsement
in their power, and, as Mr.. Moncur'
well says, are ready to do it agar
should the occasion arise. | am per
haps the only man in the country
at least I haven't heard Of any othc
who does not think he is capable, i
called upon, to advise Governor WEI
son as to the personnel of his cabi

PLANNING INDEPENDENCE FOR THE PHILIPPINE!
Representative Francis Burton Harrt
son of New York Has Been Sc
lected by the President to
Rule Over Islands.

Washington. - President Wilson
Thursday made the first move toward
carrying out the democratic platform
promise of independence for the Phil
ippincs when he nominated Repre-
sentative Francis Burton Harrison of
New York as governor general of the
islands. The nomination of the New
York representative came as sur
prise to most people in. Washington,
but it is generally agreed the selec-
ton is a good one. Mr.. Harrison is a
young man of ability, integrity and
high ideals with a private fortune
which renders the $4,000 salary at
tached to the post of governor general
less an object than the service he will
be able to render the country and its
wards on the other side of the world
Mr.. Harrison will enter on the duties
of his new post with instructions tc
study closely the political, economic
and social conditions of the Philippine
people with view to enabling the ad
ministration to devise at the earliest
practical moment a plan whereby the
pledge of the Baltimore platform tC
give the Filipinos their independence
may be put into effect. 1t is not to b'
expected, however, that there will b'
any haste about the matter.
Neither President Wilson nor Mr.
Harrison believes it would be wise t
take any decisive step until a yer!
careful study has been made of tn
complicated economic, political ant
racial condition of the archipelago, ant
an exhaustive report made to this gov
eminent on which to base scheme o
action which will at once assure tn
permanent independence of the island
and their continued peace and pros
peHty under whatever new regim
may be decided on.

Sl,4O5,OOO IN GAS PRODUCED IN TEXAS
Eighty-Seven Wells at Close Of 1912
There Were % Dry Holes Drilled
and Six Wells Abandoned.

Washington. - The United States
geological survey Saturday made pub
lie it's report on the development of
the natural gas industry of Texas.
This report shows during the last cal
endar year natural gas to the extent
of nearly seven and one-half billion
cubic feet, valued at s1,405,OO0, was
produced from wells in Texas. This is
an increase over the production OF
1911 of 1,90O,9SO,OO0 cubic feet in
volume and of $39O,132 in value.
The greater portion of this gas was
supplied for domestic purposes, the
value of which aggregated $9O6,412, OF
nearly double the value of the gas
consumed in manufacturing and in
generating power, which was $49S,66S
in 1912. Some was used in Texas fol
brick manufacture. For the genera
ton of power it is utilized in operating
gas engines and boilers at water
works, ice plants, cotton gins anC
largely in field work.
The total number of gas wells il
Texas at the close of 1912 was 81, o
which "a were drilled in 1912. TIT
number of dry holes drilled was %
and the number of gas wells aban
/ doned, 6.
