STORY OF CAPT. SCOTT.
Motion Pictures of immortal Incl
dent shown at BeIasco.


THE Undying Story of Capt. Scott, "
the illustrated record of that intrepid
English explorers journey to the South
Pole, and one of the most interesting.
entertaining, and instructive series OF
motion pictures ever seen in Washing
ton. began the second week of its en-
gagement at the Belasco last night. Not
only are these pictures photographically
perfect, making them the more enjoy
able, but they present a wonderful
cinematographIc diary of one of the
most notable achievements Of modern
times. They afford an excellent idea of
the difficulties encountered and con-
quered. the country traversed by the
Scott party, and, in addition. many
unique close range studies of animal life
in the Antarctic.
Chief among the latter in point of in
terest and entertainment, are the pic
lures of the seals and those depicting
the amusing antics of the pensive PEN
gums. Then there are numerous stud
les of the skua gulls, as well as those
showing the dog teams at work hauling
the heavily laden sleds across the ice
packs.
The pictures show the Scott expedition
aboard the Terra Nova passing enormous
ice bergs, the landing of men and pro-
visions at Glacier Point, the winter
quarters of the expedition, and the start
for the pole. Capt Scott and the men
who persisted with him are shown as
they pitch camp for the night, cook
the evening meal of 'hoosh'' in a fire.
less cooker, and finally as they make
themselves as comfortable as possible in
their fur sleeping bags.
The pictures, which will be shown
twice daily, are explained in delightful
fashion by Mr.. Ernest Terrence.

WOMEN'SLEAGUE Still
HAS ITS CONVENTIONS
Mrs. Ayres' Resignation Has Not Re-
suited in Organizations Affairs
Being Amieably Settled.
FINANCES ARE NOW In DISPUTE

Trouble and contention continues in
| the administration of the Woman's Ma
| tional Democratic League.
Irreconcilible factions have existed in
the organization since its establishment
nearly a year ago. Members claimed
yesterday that all difficulties have been
solved by the five and a half hour board
meeting at the Willard on Saturday,
but admit that nobody knows for certain
just what are the financial obligations
of the league.
Some think the total Indebtedness of
| the organization is $500; some think 1t
| is 800. According to a statement issued
by one of its officers several weeks ago,
the amount of s40o is owing.
1t was the uncertainty as to what ex-
penses had been incurred for the ma
tional organization that led to the COM
plant of the members of the executive
board against Mrs. Steven B. Ayres on
account of extravaganza" and despotic
administration. Mrs. Ayres was SO an
gered by the dissatisfaction among the
members of her council that several
weeks ago she submitted her resignation.
Mrs. Ayres resignation was accepted
meeting. She was not present at the
meeting. Details of what happened around
the council board were only sparingiy
told to members of the press. The open
sccfct iedheu, however, ana was acknOWl-
edged yesterday. It is impossible to draw
a balance sheet of the leagues finances
in any other than a general way. This,
1t is said, was shown by the treasurer's
report on Saturday. Expenses have been
incurred for affairs, and In administra-
ton Of the league, of which little account
has been kept. Contracts, 1t is further
said. have been entered into without the
knowledge Of the treasurer. and this has.
Of course, greatly added to her difficult
ties.
Mrs. Charles Morton. formerly record
ing secretary of the league, also resigned
Saturday, to the regret of her fellow
board members An erroneous account
Of the causes leading to this step were
made public, Mrs Morton claims. She
states the chief reason for severing her
connection with the organization was
that Mrs. Ayres' resignation was &C.
cepted before complete untangling of
the business affairs Of the league had
been effected.
