Court Is Urged to
Dismiss Writ i'm
raigContemptCase
Arguments OH Manton's
Power to Issue Habeas
Corpus After Comptrol-
Ier's Sentence Heard

Arguments were heard yesterday by
United States Circuit Judge Martin
Manton on the motion to dismiss the
writ Of habcas corpus obtained by City
Comptroller Charles l.. Craig after his
sentence of sixty days for contempt of
court, February "a, by Judge Julius M.
Mayer.
Before listening to argument Judge
Manton permitted Mr.. Craig to absent
himself from the hearing to attend to
his official duties. Then Francis G.
Caffey, United States District Attorney,
challenged Judge Manton's jurisdiction
in the case of the writ, which Judge
Manton issued shortly after sentence
was pronounced.
Mr.. Caffey moved that the writ be
dismissed on the grounds that there
was no power in the sitting judge, that
the writ was improperly signed, and
it was irregular in form, in that it
| was not addressed to the Marshal and
not made returnable to the District
Court.
Counsel for Craig argued that Judge
Manton did have power to issue the
writ. and contended that when the
Marshal made his return Of the
prisoner before the court in response
to the writ, the suggestion of lack of
jurisdiction could not be made there
after.
Judge Manton said the matter rested
on the question Of power If he found
he lacked authority, he said, he thought
the action would be null. He directed
both sides to file memoranda and said
that he would dispose of that phase of
the case next Saturday morning at 10
O'Clock: The matter was adjourned
until then

Mrs. Roosevelt Returns

Among the travellers who arrived
here yesterday On the steamship Ma
tura, of the Trinidad Line, from West
Indian ports was Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt, widow Of Colonel Roosevelt. She
said she had been away on visit OF
six weeks with friends at Trinidad.
On the journey northward she was
informed by radio of the appointment
of her son, Theodore, as Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy. Mrs Roosevelt ex-
pressed interest in knowing how the
appointment was received by the Amer.
ican people, and when informed that
the selection Of her son had met with
much approval she said the news was
exceedingly gratifying to her.
Mrs. Roosevelt was greeted at the
pier in Brooklyn by a dozen friends
and relatives and went direct to Oyster

For this party of 1921 accomplished what

Thence a two days march led to Phari,

woods of birch, fir and juniper, mixed up
with rhododendrons of every color and

At Khampa Dzong on June Dr. Kelas
died of heart disease. His loss was deeply
deplored Here too ensued trouble with
the transportation end. The Government
mules, as the expedition came to ascending
and descending on the Sikkim marches,
began to collapse. After every days march
each party had to leave three mules be

without q load
The fourth days march, from Pedong to
Rongli, though only twelve miles, was espe-
cially trying. The path dropped steeply
down nearly 5000 feet, only to climb up
another 5000 feet in the next few miles,
followed by another steep drop of $500
feet.
After days rest at Rongli it was neces.
sary to hire local mules and ponies. leav-
ing the Government mules behind. 1t was
a terrible breakdown of transport at the
very beginning of the expedition and after
only five days marches. Luckily it was
as far as Khampa Dzong.
The climb from Sedonchen to Gnatong
was the steepest yet encountered, with a
rise of more than 5000 feet in eight miles
On May "a the party arrived at Gnatong
at an altitude of more than $4,000 feet.
Gnatong is described as a dirty, muddy
village, lying in a hollow. 1t is the first
halting place on the way out from Jelep La.
A constant stream of mule and pony cara
vans passes to and from Tibet. From here
the party hastened on to Tibet June is
the day they left Khampa Dzong. At Lingga
they had their first clear but distant view
of Mount Everest.
On June IL they left Tinki Dzong. The
days march led over the Tinki Pass 10000
feet high, but quite easy, with fine views
to the east They then descended into the
broad valley Of the Yaru, here carpeted
with gorse and yellow flowers. They had
to ford this river, which is at that point
about eighty yards wide and three feet
deep After crossing a marshy plain they
arrived at the home of Phari Jongpen, who
entertained the chiefs at his house, fine,

Col. Bury writes at this juncture.
"All maps of these parts now are most
misleading, as they are totally inaccurate"
Leaving Rongong, the party followed the
south bank of the Yaru some ten miles, to
where the stream is Joined by the Arum

with quicksands. Unable to do this cross

most beautiful and lofty peak appeared in
the southwest. The drivers called it Cho,

had many discussion as to what mountain

which was now only about fifty miles away
and stood up quite by itself.
at was Everest 1t was separated from
all other peaks, towering into the clear
blue sky to an immense height and far
surprising its neighbors in loftiness and

The first halt on the direct route to
Lhasa was at Tuna, where there was a
comfortable bungalow. The next stage
was to Dochen. On the way the party
passed a number of goa (Tibetan gazelle).

never allowing the travellers to approach
nearer than 400 yards. Morning in Tibet
is described as calm and beautiful but at
midday a strong wind arises and blows
with great violence all the afternoon. That
this wind is local was shown by the fact
that the upper clouds were unaffected
After passing Dochen the party left the
Gyantse road and crossed over the Dug
pass, 16 400 feet, to Khe, which lies in the
broadest part of the valley, once the bed OF
Lake Kalatzo. In this valley are ruins
of what once must have been, an important
city. Some Of the buildings remaining are
of considerable size. Its present name is
Khetam. and It flourished in the days be-

The next march was to Kheru and from
there TO Tatsang about sixteen miles

"Tn all these parts" writes Col. Bury
"the people know Everest by the name Of
Chomolungma. the goddess mother of the
country. This is apparently the Tibetan
name for the mountain"

Everest, the highest peak of the
Himalayas and the greatest noun
tain in the world, is scaled. The
preliminary expedition seemingly
has found feasible ascent. A base
for the final dash is being estab-
Nshed we'll about the 10000 foot
level. When the weather permits
in Ie22 the final effort will be made.
Late advices from London say that
Brigadier-General C. G. Bruce,
noted soldier and explorer, has
been invited to command the
climbers.
A FTER Mount Everest what? The
~ Alexander of exploration, whoever
he may be, in the report of progress
made this year on the highest point of
earth must be already signing for new
heights to conquer. But where are they
to be sought? Perhaps on the moon, per-
haps on Mars.
The history of attempts to scale this top
of the world is thick with failures in
which human lives have been risked de-
votedly and many of these lives have been
lost. But with each successive expedition
progress has been made and men have
drawn nearer and nearer to their goal.
Each expedition gathered useful knowledge
for future trial, and at last the lonely
peak seems about to render up it's secret.
Certainly the scientists of the world ap-
pear to be hopeful that the next exploring
party, already being formed, will attain
it's object This confidence is based on
the results of the expedition sent out last
spring.
1t was very carefully organized expedi-
tion which started then, under auspices OF
the Royal Geographical Society and the
Alpine Club of Great Britain and assisted
