LAND DISCOVERY
BY STEFANSS0H
Arctic Explorer, Long Missing,
Reports Important 0iScov-
ery-Gone Is Months.

Nome. Alaska, Sept. 1S.-Practically
every purpose of his hazardous arctic
Journey was accomplished by Vilhjal'
mar Stefansson, Canadian explorer,
who has turned up alive and well after
having been given up as dead. Stefans-
son adds interest to his temperance
by giving news of the discovery Of a
new land.
This is the news brought here by the
power schooner Ruby, which arrived
from Herschcl island.
Stefansson, with two companions,
storker storkersen and Ole Anderson,
set out from Martin point, Alaska,
March %, 1914, over the frozen Polar
ocean, to search for supposed new
lands in the Beaufort sea
Captain s. F. Cottle, master Of the
Ruby, says that Stefansson is now on
Banks Land, east of the Mackenzie.
outfthng for continuance Of the ex-
plorations to the westward to ascer-
tain the full extent of the new land he
has discovered southwest Of Prince
Patrick's island.
Explorations Checked For Time.
Stefansson discovered continuance
Of the continental shelf several degrees
west of Banks Land, and even deter
mined it's southern limits, but was un-
able to continue his explorations to the
north and west
Stefansson told Captain Cottle that
after leaving the supporting party on
the ice north of Martin point he and
his hardy companions set their faces to
the north, but after continuing their
journey ninety days they decided to re-
turn to land
They turned back and landed on the
mainland at a point near which the
power boat Mary Sachs of the Stefans-
son expedition was wintering. Here
the three men outfitted for another
three months trip They again went
upon the ice, going north and west and
discovering the continental shelf.
Food scarcit.. Forces Return.
Stefansson spent some time explor-
ing his new find, but at length, owing
to scarcity Of provisions, was compelled
to set out on the return journey to
land. The men had been on the Ice for
nearly seven months.
The return to shore was accomplish
ed with great difficulty. The men sub
sisted on the most meager rations, but
kept moving day after day. The dogs
were almost famished.
Finally the party arrived at Banks
Land, thoroughly worn out. For seven
months they had been on scanty ra-
uons, travelling almost continuously.
Immediately upon arriving at Her
schel island Stefansson began prepara-
tions for continuance of his explora-
tions He purchased the Polar Bear
for $4,000 from Captain Lane, and
bought also the power boat Gladiator,
! q small vessel engaged trading along
the coast.
After fully equipping these vessels,
Stefansson sailed with them for Banks
Land, where he probably is now.

SCARCITY Of FLATS
IN PERTH AMBOY
Many Vacant Stores in the City
and Apparent Dearth. of
Living Apartments.

While scores of store buildings
have been erected recently in va
rious party of the city, it is surpris-
ing to note the scarcity of houses
or rather fats-in Perth Amboy.
The tendency to erect buildings for
store purposes seem to have COM
pletely overshadowed residential
construction, and as a result there
are many vacant stores in the city
and an apparent dearth of living
apartments.
Booming industrial conditions and
the location of new manufacturing
concerns in this vicinity has made
Perth Amboy a veritable Mecca fer
home seekers, and many people are
now finding that they would have
been receiving larger returns upon
their investment had they antici-
pated this search for apartments and
had been in a position to supply the
wants of those who wish to locate
in this city.
Several buildings of this kind are
now under construction, and two To-
cal architectural firms are alrea ly
drawing plans for their construc-
ton. The coming months will like
ly be marked by much activity along
this line

NORTHWEST PART
OF CITY DOOMED
Many improvements Made in
That SeCtion-ReaI Estate
Men are Profiting.

The fastest growing section of the
city is to be found in the northwest
ern part and real estate owners
there are profiting to no small ex-
tent. Latest improvements there
abouts include long pavements, in
creased water pressure, parks and
extended and graded streets. The
last named improvement is now we'll
under way and it is the hope of al
dermen in control to make the inter
section of thoroughfares so complete
and the drainage system so good
that nothing more in those respects
could be desired.
Alderman-at-large w. Guy Weay-
er, Chairman Chris Jorgensen, of the
streets and sewers committee, Alder
man John ]. Clark and City Engi-
neer Samuel ]. Mason made a public
inspection of the section in question
yesterday afternoon. They express
ed pleasure over the results attained
thus far. Mr.. Jorgensen states that
property value has jumped consider
ably as result of the Amboy ave-
nue. and New Brunswick avenue
pavements. 1t is expected that the
bAlGuSlfe SiGSSI WI NiiA
also serve to make the section better
in every way Property is already
rising in value as result of the
erection of the Convery place bridge.
During the inspection yesterday
the aldermen endeavored to settle
upon plan of extending Bingle
street at the westerly and easterly
ends, so as to provide outlets and
make proper surface drainage possi-
BILE. The subject was further dis
cussed at the committee meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night.
Real estate sales continue fairly
brisk and there is a continued de-
mand for flats and houses in good
localities. Property in Smith, Oak
and Lawrie streets was transferred
the past week. Lot No. 29 in block
$50, Smith street, was sold by Mich
olas De Aggelakos to John Haga-
man. Lot No. %, in Oak street, was
transferred by William McClane to
George w. Fullerton. The Perth
Amboy Realty Company disposed of
two lots in Lawrie street to James
Sclin and wife and John Erickson.
There are good reasons to believe
that all of this proper ttJg-Will be i'm
proved Immediately.

Washington, Jan. 2S-President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill
today beco.se OF the literacy test fos
admission of aliens. His message
was received in the house and re.
ferred to the immigration committee.
whose chairman, Representative Bur.
nett, will move next Thursday that
the measure be passed over the ex.
.eCutive veto.
Advocates Of the bill in the house
expressed confidence that it would
be law, but other members asserted
that the required two-thirds majority
TO force the measure into law over
the head of the chief executive
could not be procured.
Three times has an immigration
bill containing a restrictive literacy
test been vetoed, first by President
cleveland, next by President Taft,
and now by President Wilson. Twice
congress failed to override the presi.
Dental disapproyal and today house
managers were insistent that the
veto should not be considered until
there had been time for reflection.
The president, in his message,
frankly told the house. which origi.
mated the bill, that he had no pride
.ot opinion on the question and was
not foolish enough to profess TO
know the wishes and ideals OF
America better than the body of her
chosen representatives know them"
If the people Of this country have
made up their minds to limit the
number OF immigrants by arbitrary
tests and SO reverse the policy of all
the generations OF Americans that
have gone before them, it is their
right to do so. he said. Il am their
servant and have no license to stand
in their way But l do not believe
they have"
When the message was read in the
house the attention given was
marked. Upon its conclusion there
was applause from both sides of the
chamber. Similar applause followed
a statement by Representative Bur.
it'lL tHdt At luc proper llule ne
would move for reconsideration Of
the vote by which the bill passed,
and that the measure be passed over
the presidents veto.
Conferences OF house leaders TO-
lowed, the speaker Majority Leader
Underwood, Minority Leader Mann.
Representative Burnett and Repre-.
sentative SABBATH leader OF the house
opponents OF the measure partici-
pating
Mr. SABBATH wished to hasten con
sideration of the veto. Mr.. Burnett
insisted upon time declaring that ali
members should be given an oppor-
tunity to be present before the final
test.
Senate leaders insist that there
would be no trouble repassing the
bill in the upper house. This was
done in the Taft administration but
the house failed to muster two
thirds majority by a narrow margin.
When the measure passed the house
last year it was by a bare tWo-thirds
majority and Representative Under
wood said today there was question
whether tWothirds vote could be
procured now

of a woman who smiled her heart

Where better for her last word, the

in the state capitol pleading a cause?
No one who ever saw her face will

She was a club woman. And her

her part or any Woman's part in club

around town or about the state. 1t is
for the uplift of the unfortunate. 1t
is for the civic and moral health OF
the city.
She gave her last call and 1t will
be needed. She said, "For twenty
five years / have been fighting the
battle OF the girls" And today her
battle is assuredly Won.
The voice we hear is always that
of personality made strangely pure
BY the grace Of sacrifice in the life
OF the speaker.
The roar OF the great city goes on.
Its processes OF weariness tonight
viii be not from hard work 80 much
as from heartache.
The voice is for the wanderer and
the weary and the wanton. The roar
is the chug, chug Of the bestial. It

The voice that is now a song OF life

Woonsocket. s. D.--A jail delivery
In Woonsocket was averted by the
presence Of mind Of George Sites, a
telegraph operator. Sites was going
home late at night when he heard
pounding In the vicinity of the county
Jail. He made an investigation and
found the noise came from the jail it
self. Then he placed Wallace Git
cheli on guard while he aroused her-
if Hopkins, who was sound asleep at
his home. Hopkins found that Ma
son and Cameron, held in connection
with the recent robbery Of q clothing
store at Artesian, had removed a sec
ton Of the metal sheeting covering
the inside OF the jail, and then BY aid
of a redhot poker and some live Goals
had made a hole In the outside wall
nearly large enough for them 70 crawl
through.
