News Of Amundsen
 After 10 Months

Nome. Alaska, April 22---(By The A. P)-Captain Roald Amundsen, dis coverer of the south pole, has arTiv- ed at Anadir, a trading post on the Behring Sea, eastern Siberia, accord ing to a wireless message from Ana dir received here last night. The despatch gave no details other than suggesting that the explorer had reached the village in a ship.
 For more than 19 months the si- lence of polar seas have shrouded the vessel that bore Roald Amundsen and his shipmates in their strange endeavor to reach the north pole
 Amundsen's vessel, the Maud, took on oil at Dixson Island in the White Sea about September 1, 1918, and soon after sailed off to the northeast through the rapidly freezing arctic. It was the explorers plan to drive the ship as far northward as he could, then to lodge her in the ice and per init her to be dragged along with the eneromous floes.
 Studies of Arctic ice had been made by Amundsen, who believed his ship would be carried around the northern end of Nova Zernbla and thence east wardly to the vicinity of the IGa.kov Islands, off the Delta of the Lena river on the northern Siberian coast Here he believed the ice would be driven to the northward and thought 1t would take him near the North Pole. There is some uncertainty as to the exact point reached by Amund- sen aa Siberia Anadir is not the

CaiIlaux's warmest Qartisans were fighting bitterly against depTiv- ing him of citizenship and condemn ing him to pay the costs of the trial
 M. Caillaux received the news of his conviction sto1id1y, showing less temper than at any time since the trial began. That the fight is not over and that his friends in the high court are fighting to the bitter end. two hours session the court failed to agree on the text of the verdict to be read to M. Caillaux rejecting the text presented by the investigation commission of the Senate as too se> were.
 Article IS of the military code, un- der which Caillaux was convicted, dates back to 1908 and was aimed especially at French business men guilty of corresponding with British brokers during the continental block ade and giving them the stock ex- change figures and other informa ton.
 M. Caillaux's plans for the future have not been made public but it is learned on good authority that if he 1 is sentenced to banishment for any | length of time he will proceed to South America.

Paris, April 2S.---Sentence of three years Imprisonment was imposed to- day upon former Premier Joseph Gail laux, convicted by the high court yes- tertSay of commerce and correspond ing which he was under arrest will be deducted, however, leaving him but one month to serve.
 The ex-pren1ier was sentenced also to pay the cost of the trial
 One feature of the penalty which will be inflicted upon Joseph CadHa5ux, former premier of France, who yes terday was convicted of commerce and correspondence with the enemy will be the loss of his right to vote and right to hold public office. This was decided upon by the senate, sit ting as 8 high court, when it resuIn ed it's session behind closed doors at 10:30 o'clock this morning to discuss the text of the verdict It was agreed that he should not lose his other civic rights

 There is a Russian trading post known as Anadyrsk located on the Anadfr river about 300 miles from the mouth of the stream but Amund. sen could not reach it by vessel. as is indicated in reports. If he should have reached that town, it seema probable he landed from his shin on the northern coast of the continent and made the trip southward by land.
 The mouth of the Anadir river ia about $500 miles east of Dixson Isl- and where Amundsen began his long arctic voyage.
 Amundsen'S purpose was not pri. marily to reach the north pole but to make scientific observations. take soundings, study the drift of polar ice and collect important data as to oceanic conditions in the far north.

Mayor Wilson, who refuses to talk at all about the vice raids to local newspaper people, seems to talk very freely to out of town NewSpaperS. One Margery Rex came to see him, for New York newspaper, and he talked freely, if he is rightly quoted. He even talked with abandon, and with a large appreciation of his relationship to the universe. The interview was accompanied with a really beautiful picture of his honor. Margery wasn't interested in the mayor only, she wrote the following:
 q thought it was the most direct and simple" he replied, and that brings back the story of the man who wanted "to see Bill about something"
 The man had been waiting out side the mayors office, where Nan Fahey, his secretary, must wrestle with the crowds of people who, impressed. with the clean sweeping methods of their execu- tive, come to his sanctun to have all sorts of troubles remedied. ''Bill's'' seeker evidently was wor- ried.
 "Mayor Wilson, he said, when he got an audience, 'FI think 'BiH' is the person I should see about this. I know some one who knows BiH or can tell him about it and I'll get at him that way.

Judge Curtis allowed the wife a decree on the ground of intolerable cruelty.
