DR.. Douglas MaWsOn Tells
of Lonely March After
Two Men Died.
BACK AT ADELAIDE;
NOT IN GOOD HEALTH

London, Feb. "a dispatch from
Sydney 60 "Thc Daily Telegraph" says
that the Aurora. with Dr. Douglas
Mawson and party arrived AZ Adelaide
yesterday afternoon. thus terminating
work begun in December 1911 when
Dr Mawson started on his FIRST
Australian Antarctic expedition. lie
has been in poor health for about .
year.
Dr. Mawsons arrival is undoubtedly
being received with intense pride and
qualification throughout Australia. Ills
pcrilous iourncyings i'm the frozen
south, including hcarthrcakinG in
tcrval of thirty days spent i'm absolute
solitude. have not been undertaken
without death toll. and while Austria
liz mourns tho loss Of two such worthy
members Of the expedition and brave
men as Lieutenant MINIS and Or.
Mcrtz. the fact Of their tragic ends
merely adds 10 the sincerity and
warmth Of the welcome home given to
the other members OF the expedition.
Fuller particulars Of tho events cul-
mluatinc i'm the death Of MINIS and
Mertz indicate that the formers end
aud his disappearance IN a crcvassc
must have been terrible In the extreme.
Or Mawsons dogge6 march OF three
hundred miles. though nearly starving
and blinded by blizzard, was one OF
the finest acts Of personal courage ever
recorded iu polar exploration.

Summarizing tho charges i'm his letter
TO President Wilson, Mr.. Cooper said:
The facts which I have gathered
from time 10 time show that Judge

ccpts fayors from attorneys practising
before him; that tho counsel for the
Washington Electric Railway Company

hundred dollars when constantly ap-
nearing before him in the trial Of cases
for the company: that he permitted his
nofo for 81 900 TO he presented To an
attorney for discount at or about the
time he had threatened 10 have this
attorneys conduct investigated by the
grand jury: that he practises the pro-
fossion Of law in violation Of the stat
utc of the United States and, in fact,
i'm one instance received fec Of $500
for professional services: that he is a
member of the board Of directors OF
New York corporation and as such d.
rector received and appropriated sew
eral hundred dollars to which he was
not entitled.
II pon the ground of personal friend
ship and in violation OF the law Mr..
Cooper continues, he SGT aside the iinal
decree I'm the case Of Finley ~. Finley
that he wrongfully and corrupuy sacri-
need the estate Of Augusta l.. Wiese-
borne on account of his personal friend
shin for William T.. Ambrose. member
of the bar: that he deliberately and In
violation Of the law set aside an order Of
tbe District Supreme Court appointing
Wilton J. Lambert. Wharton Il. Lester
and Frank Reside receivers OF the First
co-operative Building Association OF

sonal friend william L. Ambrose, as re-
ceivor of said company; that he conspiI ed
with another TO take. and did take ms
note for $1,000 out OF the assets OF the
scaled Package Ice Company after the
