Senator Hanson sprang to his feet
with anger clearly expressed in every

teeth of the Latah county man.

he said in a voice that rang through
the senate chamber, with being guilty
of an absolute, unqualified, malicious
and premeditated falsehood. / throw

Senator Fields was trying to secure
the floor again There was much con-
fusion, but the chair finally succeeded
in again declaring the original motion
out of order and that there was moth

Senator Fields took an appeal from
the decision of the chair. 1t was sec
onded by Senator Dunning.
The Latah county man launched into
another long complaint against the
committee. He was again called to
order on the ground that he was not
discussing the appeal.
Senator Macbeth insisted that the
president had been fair in his ruling
and that there was no just cause for
appeal.
Senator Fairchilld, who seconded the
original motion. took the same ground.
The vote on the appeal was taken,
and the chair was sustained. There
was but one voice heard in opposition

Only Meagre Details.

| LONDON, Feb. 11.-Only meagre de-
tails are available yet of the polar
tragedy which cost the lives of Cap
tain Robert F. Scott and four of his
brave companions and which ranks in
disastrous results with the ill-fated
Franklin expedition.
News of the death of Captain Scott
and his men, who succeeded by a final
dash in reaching the south pole, only
to find proofs that Ronald Amundsen
had forestalled them, came in a brief
message from Lieutenant E. R. G. Ev-
ans, of the Royal navy, who was sec
ond in command when the expedition
started, and who now signs as Com
mander"
The staggering effects of the news
on the public mind is all the greater
as it was believed that modern science
and recent experience completely had
divested polar exploration of it's for
mer terrors. No great surprise would
have been felt had Captain Scott failed
to reach the pole, but that he should
perish in his hour of triumph was the
very last thing that could be antici-
paed, and in view of the terrible dan
gers which still exist, the fate of Cap
tain Scott and his companions is likely
to discourage further attempts to
reach the poles now that both have
been attained and the circumstances
of hurried dashes prevent valuable
scientific results from being obtained.
No detailed facts are yet known, but
it is believed the records of the sci
entifc material collected, together
with the explorers bodies, have been
recovered.
1t is also said gallant attempts were
made by other members of the expedi-
tion to succor the Scott party, but

Capt. Scott With Dying HandsP Pens Appeal
10 Fellow C0untrymen to Aid Families

LONDON, Feb. 11.-With death star
ing him in the face Captain Robert F.
Scott wrote with his half numbed
hands the story of his quest into the
antarctic that world might know.
The report was found beside his
corps and was cabled here. In part
1t says:
"The causes of our disaster are not
due to any fault in the organization of
our party, but to the misfortunes that
risk in undertaking an effort of this
kind.
when in March, 1911, we lost our
first pony transport, it obliged me to
start later than l had intended, and
in the second place the weather all
along our march, and particularly the
long gale which we encountered at 83
degrees latitude delayed us. The soft
snow which We encountered in the
lower reaches of the Beardmore glac-
ier again reduced our pace"
Captain Scott wrote that he would
have reached the Beardmore glacier
in fine form but for the fact that the
injury and death of Seaman Evans,
who was fatally injured by fall in
creased his difficulties.
They finally reached the Beardmore
glacier to find the weather extremely
severe.
To the advent of a blizzard when
they had reached a point within II
miles of Camp One Ton is attributed
their failure to escape death. The
last of the explorers notes says:
For four days we have been un-
able to leave our tents because of the
terrific gale blowing about us. We
are very weak.
Il am writing to appeal to our
countrymen to see that those who are
dependent upon us are properly cared
for. Had l lived l could tell tale
of hardihood, courage and endurance
of my companions that would have
stirred the hearts of all Englishmen.
AS 1t is these rough notes beside our
dead bodies must tell the tale"

There was spirited meeting of the
chamber of commerce today, after the
regular Tuesday luncheon in which
fifty of the members participated.
A resolution was adopted request
ing the city council to pass an ordin-
ance requiring property owners with
in certain limits to remove the snow
from the sidewalks, council to pre-
scribe the limits.
M. E. Lewis addressed the chamber
calling attention to the fact that as
it is now organized, it is in position
to systematic work that will result
in much permanent good. He outlined
various steps in which this can be ac-
complished. He explained that in or
der that in order to carry out the pro-
posed plans it will be necessary to
raise $4,000 by subscription. A part
of this has already been subscribed and

and w. L. Payne.

in December, probably at Colfax. Mr..

conditions and lack of food. 1t seems
practically certain that the explorers
starved to death.
Dr. Enrich Marshall, who was sur
geon to the Shackleton expedition,
suggests that the Scott party in the
terrible blizzard may have missed one
of its supply depots which are gener~
ally marked by an upturned sledge
with flag lashed to it.
The fact that Captain Amundsen
reached his base from the pole in SO
days, while the Scott party had been
travelling more than two months when
disaster overlook them, is believed to
show that Scott must have met some
misfortune. The fact that Petty Off
Ger Evans died from concuSsion of the
brain as early as February II, seems to
indicate some accident, possibly in
volving the loss of a portion of the
equipment. Captain Gates died on
March II, which clearly shows that the
party WIS Ill ulTe SlIdllS anu lnuSt
have undergone terrible suffering dur
ing the remaining 12 days.
No news has been received as to
how the fate of Captain Scott and his
companions was discovered, but it is
assumed that a rescue party was de-
spatched from the base.
Further information reaching the
Royal Geographical society says that
the rescue party, which left Cape Ev-
ans late in October, reached One Ton
depot and found the provisions in good
order.
The party proceeded along the
southern route and came upon Scott's
tent on November 12. Within lay the
bodies Of Scott, Wilson and Bowers.
Scott's little son Peter is staying with
his grandmother at Henley. The news
was broken to him today.
In 1911 Mrs. Scott had cinemato
graph pictures of Peter at play made,
and sent them out so his father could
see how the boy was growing. 1t is
not known whether Captain Scott ever
received them.

BOSS COX MAY YET
HAVE TO PAY PENALTY

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 11.-By sus
tanning the objection of the prosecut-
ing attorney to the ruling of the COM
mon pleas court which quashed the in
dictments against George F. Cox, the
former boss of Cincinnati, the su
preme court today paved the way for
reindictments against Cox on the same
charges.
Cox was for years the political boss
of Cincinnati and of Ohio. He was re-
sponsible, more than any other per-
son for the election of Nicholas Long
worth, Colonel Roosevelts son-in-law

attend a banquet in Chicago at which
Senator Lorimer was to be present

Cox was an honored guest.
Cox had forced his way into political
power by a clever combination of busi-
ness and politics by which he ruled
Cincinnati for many years with the
power of a Gar The depositing of
city funds in Coxs bank under IL

and would offer handsome prizes to
those who entered the contest.
B. T. Byrns endorsed the corn show
idea and offered to be one who would
help to make up prize of hundred
dollars, to be awarded to the grower
of the best acre of corn raised in Latah
county. In the course of his remarks,
complished by the chamber of COM
merce as indicated by inquiries receiv-
ed from the far east and information
received to the effect that samples of
potatoes could be seen in eastern mar
kets, with placard attached "Produc-
ed in Latah County, Idaho"
Mr.. Byrns called attention to the ad-
vantages that would in his opinion re-
suit from the influx of foreign labor,
likely to ensue on the completion of
the Panama canal. This precipitated
a warm discussion in which d. M.
Carey, M. E. Lewis, VIM. E. Lee and
President Green took part. Mr.. Carey
took stand in favor of American la
Dor, while the other speakers gen.
orally expressed themselves in favor
of any labor that can milk cows, re-
move stumps from loggedoff lands or
perform any necessary details on the
farm besides driving a fOur-horse
team.
Mr.. Bush called the attention of the
chamber to the fact that the state
would have 5000 acres of logged-off
lands in Latah county by the first of
September, and that half million
acres of logged-off state lands will be
placed on the market in the next 20
years.
