EXPLORATION
Continued from page one,

Roosevelt after he retired from the
presidency in 1909.
Officially it is known as the Smith,
sonian African Expedition under the
direction of Edmund Heller. in con-
junction with the Universal Film
Manufacturing company
The trip. which will last at least
six months and penetrate into I'M
explored parts OF darkest Africa. was
arranged by Dr. Charles Walcott, sec
rotary OF the Smithsonian Institution.
of Washington. and Carl Laemmle,
president of the Universal Film Manu-
featuring company, which will be in
full charge OF taking motion pictures
The one newspaper correspondent,
Edward NJ. Thierry.o of the Newspaper
Enterprise Association. whose ARTICLES
and pictures will appear in Fairmont
exclusively in The West virginian.
This Is the first time a newspaper cor
respondent ever has accompanied such
an expedition.
Edmund Heller. director OF the ex-
petition. is famous naturalist. He
piloted Colonel Roosevelt, and was
with Paul Rainey in Africa, and has
been on scientific expeditions in Cen
trail America, Peru, China, Tibet,
Burma, Alaska and Siberia.
Two G.her noted scientists in the
expedition are Henry c. Raven, Smith
sonian naturalist. just returned from
long exploring trips In Borneo and
celebes Island. and Dr. Homer Leroy
Shantz. hotanist for the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The scientists will collect skulls.
skins and bones of animals, specimens
of insect life. skulls and bones of hui
man races. live animals and plants and
seeds. The special mission of DR.
Shant7 will be Investigations leading
10 the Introduction of useful plants,
trees and grain into this country.
For the first time in the history OF
science the motion picture camera will
play its real part in African explora-
ton. Movies will be brought back to
America of known and hitherto I'M
known forms of animal. insect and rep
tile life and of races and tribes, many
never seen by white men.
Directing all motion pictures for tho
expedition will be William Stowell of
Los Angeles, whose chief photograph
er is George Scott. of Los Angeles,
noted for Photographic feats in the
South Sea Islands and the far east.
Two other camera men in the expedi-
ton are Henry Kohler of Chicago, and
Pliny Horne. of Los Angeles. DIR. JOS
eph R. Armstrong. OF Los Angeles, was
chosen by the Universal as physician
and business manager.
1t is estimated the expedition will
cost 100000. 1t will cover upwards OF
5000 miles from one end of Africa to
the other.
Much of the distance will be over
land travel. The nine members of this
party will head huge caravan. known
in Africa as "safari." Negro porters

me was that the East Side people pre-
fer to see either Y. F. Davis or John
$. Scott named as 4 city director, ar.
sutng that 1t Eust be to the interest
OF that side OF the river to have repre-
sentatton. One NAN went so far as
to. say that he considered John S
Scott best qualified" for the position
emphasizing his Identification WITH
city affairs in the past.
There is an undercurrent on the 9th
er side OF the river that SCOTS com.
parative youth will not only give him
something more than a share of ad-
vantage in the primaries, but that il
he is so fortunate as to land on the
board 1t will make him best able OF
all the men named to cope with the
Democrats in their effort to shape and
control city affairs. On East Side
Republicans who declined tn permit
the use of his name declared he was
for Scott for the nomination because
Scott has the vigor to stand up for
the rights OF his party and the citizens
generally no matter who the Demo-
Gratis put in the city government.
John S. Pople said that he had heard
little discussion of preference for the
Republican nomination for board OF di
rectors. l.. H. Arr said he had heard
little talk. h. s. Springer said the
coming primary was hardly mentioned
among the people who came In the
store. B. F. Springer said that those
he had heard talk seemed TO have lit
tie preference among the four candi-
dates. j. r. Smouse said there had
been little discussion of candidates so
far that had come to his attention.
Hugh Smith. Of the Monongahela bank
said that there was lack of interest
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-07-12

which was surprising to him. +
The tact that John s. Scott has al
ways lived on the Fart Side and has
long been prominent In civil affairs
was emphasized by those who dis
cussed the candidates at all. Q. F.
Davis has lived on that side of the riv-
er for some years and is also prom
inently identified with the East Side
interests. w. E. Arnett,s long connec-
ton with political affairs in the coun.
ty seems to have won him many
friends. C. c. Meredith is not quite
so widely known on the East Side but
the family has long been prominent on
that side Of the river so that he is far
from being stranger.

THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM.

Rev. C. J. HarrelI, the new pastor
of the Methodist church, delivered a
most interesting and able sermon Or
Sunday. His text was from the 15ttr
chapter of Genesis, and contained the.
statement that the faith of Abraham
was counted to him for righteous
ness
Mn Harrell won the hearts of his.
audience when he said he came here
as a minister of God, and to take up
the work of his successor, whom he,
held in the highest esteem of respect
and friendship. He was sure there
would be no readjustmnts necessary.
He asked for the prayers and CO.
operation and assistance of the mem
bership and the people of the city in
carrying forward the work of Mr..
Stanbury.
Faith was the keynote of his SER
mon. Faith, he said, is the founda-
tion-the very seed corn-of activ--
ity, both natural and spiritual. Con-
f1dence in man and loyalty and faith
in God were the foundations of nat
, IraI and spiritual life and progress
1t was not on record that AbrahanR
even did anything very great, but
| because of his faith he was the faith
| er of those who believed in God, and
I from his line was to come the Saw
/ ior of the people. We regret that
we have not the time to pay more
/. attention to a splendid sermon.

THE NOTE OF THE

To Mexico Says That We Will
Not Enter Into Useless
Arguments
BUT WE WANT ACTION

Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. An un-
verified report that William R. Jen-
kins, American consular agent at
Puebla, has been released from Jail
is current here. The consul general
here has heard the report, but he
has received no confirmation of same.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The Ameri-
can note to Mexico in the. Jenkins
casesays, in part that the United
States declines to be drawn into a
judicial discussion of irrevelant and
unimportant matters, and says the
request for the release of the consul
lar agent is founded on international
night and justice.
The United States says that e un-
derstands the case of the consular
agent is being investigated and that
the claim that Mr.. jenkins does not
take advantage of a release on hail
is mere excuse to hold him.
