Prohibition Commissioner
Tells of Plan Adopted to

Washington, Aug. 50.-Hundreds
OF prohibition agents in New York
and other cities have been guilty OF
taking bribes from local saloon keep

This was admitted today at the

ing agents from one zone to an

dangerous affiliations. Also we have
organized special intelligence unit
under the Treasury department
whose duty it is to oversee the work
of the agents, just as inspectors in
the Postofflcc department look out

employees.
If agents sometimes accept bribes
it is worth remembering that the
best salary we can pay them is
$l,5OO a year. Our appropriation
for enforcing prohibition through.

AMUNDSEN Will
USE TRAILS OF
FRITJ0F NANSEN
Will Proceed on Theory Used
by Other Explorers in Pack
ing Ship and Floating
With Ice.

San Francisco, Aug. 50-Trails
blazed across the Arctic ice pack
quartz, of century ago by Fritjof
Nansen. Norwegian explorer, were
expected to be followed, for a dis
tancc, by Nansen's fellow country
nnar, Capt Roald Amundsen. discov-
erer of the South pole, when he left
Nome, Alaska. recently on all at
tempt to drift across or near the
North pole. S.
'Nansen. in 1895, attempting the
same drift, sailed around Russia and
Siberia and locked his boat, the
Fran, in the ice off the New Sibe-
rian islands, which lie in the Arctic
north of Siberia. Amundsen, on leav-
ing Nome. said he planned to sail
to the same New Siberian islands,
let his boat, the Maude, freeze in
the ice and then allow the winds
and currents to carry him where
they wished.
Explorers theories that an Arc
tic ocean current starts near the
New Siberian islands, runs through
the Polar sea. across or near the
pole and finally ends at Greenland.
i'll the Atlantic, were used by both
Nansen and Amundsen as a base
upon which they made their plans.
Existence of the current has been
disputed BY many Arctic authorities,
who claimed the wind and not the
current determined the route of the
ever-drifting Polar ice. Nansen.
one OF the first advocates Of the
theory. pointed to the fact that
wreckagc from the exploring craft,
the Jeanette, destroyed near the
New Siberian islands. was found
two years after the wreck along the
Greenland coast. A throwing
stick" used by Alaskan Eskimos was
found, it has been claimed, in drift
wood OH Greenland beach. The
wreckage and the stick, it was ar
gued, lodged on an ice foe, which
carried them across the Polar
wastes to Greenland.
Nansen found the dr;it not as
strong as he expected, mainly be-
cause the Polar basin was much
deeper than he had believed. He
also discovered that the wind deter
mined. to great extert. the route
of the ice drifts. The Franz was car
ried to within $50 miles of the pole
and later cleared the ice near
Greenland '.
When the drifting Tram arrived
at the sd parallel Nansen attempt

WILSON PU7SO. K.
.0N AN tn R ACITE
MINERS AWARD
Contract Miners Given 20 Per
Cent Increase, While CON-
pany Men Receive II
Per Cent.

Washington, Aug. 30.--President
Wilson today approved the majority
report OF the anthracite coal COM
mission increasing the wages of
contract miners 20 per cent. over
present rates.
Miners employed as company men
are given an increase OF II per cent
and the same amount is given CON
sideration miners and miners la
borers and monthly men.
The findings, the report said,
would fix a minimum rate of 521a
cents per hour for the lower paid
men in the anthracite industry.
The president struck out OF the re-
port a provision fixing the terms OF
retroactive payments under the
award which. he said was out
side the commission jurisdiction.
Thomas Kennedy. chairman OF the
miners scale committee, had pro-
tested this feature of the award. he
said.
Anthracite mine workers will re-
ceive about $l8.00O0O0 in back pay
under the retroactive feature and
the total increase awarded to the
175,000 miners will average. the COM
mission said, "at least $85, 100000
annually.
The majority report declared that
the award 'offers no justification
for any advance in the retail prices
OF coal, but on the other hand, is
consistent with decline in prices.
The minority report was signed
by Commits Ferry.
