ONLY II MILES TO SAFETY

London, Feb, 11.-With death staring
him In the face, with no possible sue
cor at hand, Captain Robert f, Scott,
British polar explorer, who perished
after reaching his goal on January 1S,
1912, wrote with his dying hands the
story Of his quest into the White Ant
arctic that all the world might know.
Found beside his stiffened corpse when
rescue came too late, SCOTS story was
cabled here today from New Zealand
and given to the world under his la
comic title, Message to the public"
SCOTS Pathetic Story.
Word for word 1t reads:
THE causes Of this disaster are not
due to faulty organization but to mis-
fortune in all the risks that had to be
undertaken.
First, the loss of my pony trans
port in March, 1911, obliged me to
start later than l had intended and
obliged limits of stuff transported to
be narrowed.
Second, the weather throughout the
outward journey, especially a long
gale in SO degrees south, stopped us,
and the soft snow encountered in the
lower reaches Of Beardmore glacier
again reduced our pace.
I'VE fought these untoward events
with will and conquered, but it ate
up our provision reserve. Every de-
tail Of food supplies clothing and de-
pots made on the interior ice sheet and
on that long stretch Of 800 miles to
the pole and back worked out to per-
fection, The advance party would
have returned to the glacier in fine
form and with a surplus Of food but
for the astonishing failure of a man
we had least expected to fail. Seaman
Evans was thought to be the strong
man Of the party and Beardmore gla-
cier is not difficult in fine weather, but
on the return trip we did not get
single completely fine day and this,
with sick companion, enormously in
creased our difficulties.
Evans Died First
I'VE got into frlghtfully rough ice
and Evans received concusson Of the
brain. He died a natural death but it
left us Is shaken party with the sea-
son unduly advanced.
But all the facts above enumerat-
ed were as nothing to tho surprise
awaiting us on the barrier. I MAIN
tain our arrangements for returning
were quito adequate and that no one
would have expected the temperatures
and surface which we encountered at
this time Of the year. On the summit,
In latitude S5 degrees TO latitude SO de-
grees we had minus 20 to minus 30.
"on the barrier, in latitude S2.1O, a
thousand feet lower we had minus 30
during the day and minus AZ at night
pretty regularly with continuous
heavy wind during the day marches.
These circumstances came on very
suddenly and our wreck was certainly
due to this sudden advent Of severe
weather.
Some Terrible Months.
II don't think human beings ever
came through such months as we have
come through, and we should have got
through despite the weather but for

FRIEDMAN TELLS
OF HIS DISCOVERY
He Does Not Give Up the Secret Of
His Remedy, But Intimates the
Serum Is From Cold BlOOded
Animals.

loNAAAb AhAnhb WlhHsl
Washington, Feb. 11.-Translatlons
OF Dr. Frederick Friedmann's state
ments regarding his new system of
treating tuberculosis, furnished to con-
gress through Consul-General Thack-
era at Berlin, have been completed by
the state department and tho complete
data procured. at the request of con-
gress soon will be printed
DR.. Friedmann's address did not give
the secret Of his new remedy, which
Is understood to be a serum derived
from cold-blooded animals. Accord
ing to the official reports. he will not
make this known until he is prepared
to furnish 1t to physicians. In his de-
scriptlon Of his search for a tubercu-
losis serum and the method Of apply
ing his new remedy, which he said
had been tried on more than 1882 per-
sons, Dr. Friedman said he discov-
cred an "unvirulent race of tubercles.'
They were not then safe to use in man
but he succeeded after long expert
ment in completely changing their
character.
Risk Is Removed.
Dangers of the bacllli becoming vi
rulent after being injected into the hui
man body were removed Dr. Fried
mann said by long cultivation of the
germs.
Finally, repeatedly injected 1t into

tuberculosis patients, then into con-
sumptlve children and finally, when
the successful therapeutic results con-
dnued to be confirmed (Which was
long time afterward), into children by
way of prophylactic incubation"
DR.. Friedman did not enter into
description of his preparation in the
report which is to be published by
congress.
The preparation proved absolutely
harmless, even in large doses and
however applied he said. "The treat
ment consists Of intramuscular incor-
poratlon, occurring once, twice or
three times, seldom oftener, and re-
peated at long intervals An infiltrate
must form at the place Of injection;
this inhltrate should be from the size

course Of the next few weeks or
months. AS long as this tissue exists
and during its gradual absorption, the
healing will go on.
Cures Are Described.
"only II, and as long as the injected
substance is completely absorbed and
remains in the body, do the healing ef-
fects appear most striking. As rule
this occurs very soon and the healing
then progresses steadily. We often

SMITHS ROAD BUILDING BILL
MUCH INTEREST IN THE MEAS
URE OF GEORGIA SENATOR.
Would Appropriate Big Sum to BE
Spent Through Department of Ag-
riculture and State officials.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia could
very easily use $4,000 a year from
the federal government in the work
of road building, provided the ap-
preparation is not made upon terms
which the state cannot accept.
1t is said that this is the amount
which Georgia will get for road i'm
provement, provided the bill just iE-
troduced by Senator Hoke Smith be-
comes a law, and inasmuch as Sena-
tor Smith has sought in this measure
to avoid every difficulty which has
interfered with other measures of
the same sort there seems to be hope
for its enactment.
Senator Smiths bill proposes to
$2O,OOO,0O0 through the
secretary of agriculture to be ex-
pended in cooperation with the Off
GERS of the several states in the con-
struct'on and maintenance of good
roads. His bill contemplates that the
work shall be along the line of illus
tration and demonstration, to make
tests and show what can be accom-
plished in the most economical way
toward improving the average roads

sick. Then came the news of his
death. Several members of his fam
lily fastened down to get the remains
in charge and carry them back to the

Notwithstanding the setback the

Hon. Seaborn Wright of Rome, one
of their leaders, now declares that it
will make little material difference
and that the fight will be conducted
with more vigor and energy than
ever before. Mr.. Wright has not
said so, but it is possible now that
the prohibitionists may turn their at
tention to the jury system for a
JlInG anu GuucdNOI " dCNIoC 0CA4iS
plan by which juries favorable to
more strict enforcement of the pro-
hibition law can be secured. This, it
will be recalled, was accomplished in
one South Georgia judicial circuit by
a Judge who revised the jury list of
Dougherty county and ruled out a
certain element that seemed perma-
nentIy disposed to acquittal in all
cases of violation of the prohibition
of the pr.thadu, -. .f1fioobzictqOV
law. Whether this can be done in
other communities is a question, al
though it may be possible in some of
them.
Another thing of which the SUI
preme courts decision may be pro-
ductiVe, according to report, is hard
err fighting than ever before to tight
en- up the prohibition law when the
legislature meets next summer 1t is
said the well fix EN- spirit of the
extremists is at work and that they
are endeavoring to rally sufficient
strength at the next session of the
legislature to put through one or two
bills that they hope will do the work.

QUITE A DRY SPELL IN OHIO
LAW LIMITING NUMBER OF SA-
LOOMS WIPES 3,3O4 OFF MAP.
Bargain Sales in Wet Goods Prevail
ed, and Men Eagerly Availed Them
selves of Opportunity.

| Bargain sales in dry goods have
| from time immemorial drawn crowds
: of women. Ohio has introduced bar
gain sales in wet goods and the men
folks have eagerly availed themselves
OF the opportunity.
The wet goods sales came with the
approach of the day when the new
state law governing saloons went into
effect. Saloons disposed of their sur
plus stock at cut rates. At one fell
swoop 1904 salons were wiped OFF
the map of Ohio. 1t is one of the
most sweeping and far-reaching eX-
else measures ever put into effect in
any of the states.
State officials are seeing to it that
local authorities enforce the law i'm
partially Four hundred saloon
keepers of Cincinnati, seeing bank
ruptcy staring them in the face, have
organized to test the new law, al
though the higher courts have de-
clared it constitutional. The new law
limits the number Of saloons to one
for every 500 population. Failure
to obey the closing order will, say
the state excise officials, be followed
by prosecution and heavy fines.
Liquor interests in Ohio have fall
en- on hard lines. 1t is an indication
of the trend of the times. Society
recognizes the saloon as a social,
economic and moral menace. 1t is
mo longer a temperance crank who
advocates limiting or abolishing sa-
/ looms. Economists figure out how
/ great a proportion of the wages &c
owed the bar, how great portion OF
/ the population come into the depend
ent class by reason of liquor abuse
/ Great corporations, like railroads, are
making more stringent rules against
indulgence on the part of their EN-
ployes in alcoholic beverages, mo-
from moral grounds, but because
railroad wrecks and losses of lives
and property are expensive. 1t L
cheaper to hire only abstainers anC
to enforce rigid rules for preventive
reasons than to pay damage judg
ments.
There was much bitterness express
ed by the trade in Ohio when the ney
law went into effect, but the stat
excise Department. is memorable i

to one for every 500 thirsty.

PROHI FORCES NOT OAUNTED

VIGOROUSLY THAN EVER.
Notwithstanding Adverse Decision

Turn Attention to Jury System.

Turn Attention to Jury System.
ATLANTA, Ga.-GeOrgia's prohl-
bitionists are quietly studying the ef-
fects of the recent supreme court de-
cision in the Cassidy near beer case
from Macon with a view to deter
mining lust how far it will affect
their plans and what will be their
next step in the direction OF the Ell
fort to close up the near beer saloons
and the locker clubs all over Geor-
gia.
There is no doubt about the fact
that the Cassidy decision, under
which each case must go before a
iury before an injunction can be
made permanent. was a severe cheek
tn the leaders of this movement, and
one which they did not expect or an
ticipate. Seaborn Wright had stated
all over Georgia that as soon as TINS
decision was secured from the SUI
preme court the prohibitlonletS
would proceed to shut up every near
bear saloon and every locker club In
Georgia that was not complying very
strictly with the terms of the prohl-
hilton law. 1t would have required
separate and distinct court action
in each case, but with favorable SUI
irene court decision this would nave
meant only a matter of time anu
MANS had been made to carry on the
work.
In fact. as the result of mass
meeting held not long ago IN Atlanta
a law and order league was organlz-
Cd similar to that which handled the
Macon cases, and the Atlanta COM
mittee was waiting for a favorable
decision from the supreme court or
the state preparatory to getting 10
work.
of Campaign Necessary
Now there has got to be a read
iustment of the campaign, so TO
sneak. Putting the matter before
i,rv in each instance carries it back
IN the old arbiter of public opinion,
it being presumed, of course, that the
verdict of a jury in a liquor case
is as a rule an expression of the SEN
timent of the community from which
the Jury was chosen, as to the meth
nd of controlling the liquor situation
in that community.
The prohibitionists have claimed
all along that their chief trouble was
in getting the juries to convict, ex-
cent in the most fragrant cases, in
those communities where public SEN
timent favors certain degree of len
iency in the matter of prohibition en-
forcement. They thought they had
