HOW SCOTT WAS FOUND
Body Seated with Back Against Pole
of Tent, Head Resting on
His Diary.

London, Feb. 14.-Details of Captain
SCOTS dash to the Pole and his death
on the return journey were received
here from the relief party, now at
Christ Church New Zealand
Petty Officer Evans, the first of the
party to die, became virtually insane
from illness that began to develop at
the Pole. His condition grew more
serious each day, and Captain Scott
and the others had great difficulty in
managing him In humoring his
whims they lost much valuable time
and used surplus food that otherwise
might have lasted them until they had
reached safety,
While descending Beardman Glacier
Petty Officer Evans fell, despite the
vigilance and aid of his comrades, and
suffered a conclusion of the brain.
This increased his strange actions; he
grew moody and morose and became
a constant source of trouble and anx-
iety to Scott.
On February II Evans dropped be-
hind the party. When he did not
come up to the camp they returned
and found that he had collapsed He
was placed on sledge and conveyed
to the camp, where he died in few
hours.
Captain SCOTS body was found sit
ting against the tent pole, his diary
back of his head. After making his
last entries in the book, he evidently
placed it behind him so that its broad
surface might provide easier support
than the bare pole Dr. e. A. Wilson
and Lieutenant H. r. Bower were
frozen stiff in their sleeping bags.

Washington, Feb. 10. President
Taft returned the immigration bill to
Congress with veto message, in
winch ne takes exception to the litera-
cy test "as a principle that ought not
TO be upheld in dealing with our i'm
migration" Accompanying the mes
sage was a letter from the Secretary
Of C"'''''' """" e1d Labor, approved by
the President, giving the reasons for
the objections to the literacy provi-
sions. Z
Steps We're promptly taken in the
Senate to pass the measure over the
veto.
The test on which the President
based his veto requires that immi-
grants landing in the United States
shall be able to read thirty to forty
words in some language or dialect, In
Guiding Yiddish, these words to be
written OH Slips Of paper to be pre-
pared and furnished by the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor and distribut-
ed to inspectors of immigration.
The bill provided also that no two
immigrants should have the same
slip for a test.
1t has been believed that the appli-
cation OF THIS test would bring about
a decided curtailment Of immigration
to this country.
In short message, which was &C
companied by letter from Secretary
Nagel the President said:
Il do this with great reluctance. The
bill contains many valuable amend
ments to the present immigration law
which will insure greater certainty
in excluding undesirable immigrants.
The bill received strong support in
both houses and was recommended by
e.. oYi. commission after an extended
investigation and carefully drawn con-
clusions
But | cannot make up my mind to
sign bill which in its chief provision
violates a principle that ought in my
opinion to be upheld in dealing with
our immigration. | refer to the litera-
cy test. For reasons stated in Secre-
tary Nagels letter to me | cannot ap-
prove this measure
Secretary Nagel quoted statistics to
show that the greater number of I'M
skilled laborers return to their own
country, while the classes that remain
are of the sort needed in the United
States.

COYOTES MENACE TO
BLACK Hills FARMS

Deadwood. S. d., Oct. ?.-Coyotes in
the Black Hills are again likely to be a
menace this winter on account OF the
removal of the bounty formerly paid by
the counties. Under the old game law, In
which the county got so cents on each
81 paid for q hunting license and 81 out
OF each IS license, each county paid 81
on a wolf or coyote hide in addition to
the 50 and SIS bounties paid by the state,
since the money for licenses all goes
to the state under the new law the coun
ties pay no bounties and hunt RS and
others who formerly brought wolf and
coyote hides to the county auditor to
claim their bounty have now ceased to
kill the animals and allege thet it is not
worth their while financially, If this
check is removed it is fearc. that the
animals will again prove destructive and
some other means to stop their deprc-
datiors will nave to be adopted.
