Macmillan Hopes to
Plant u. s. Flag on
Land Near North Pole

Commander Donald Macmillan is
confident he will discover land in
the vicinity of the North Pole, and
II he does he will plant the Ameri-
can flag there and claim it for the
United States.
Admiral Peary's discovery Of the
North Pole would make g. second
expedition there only a repetition Of
his efforts" Commander Macmillan
declared today. "The most impor-
tant work that can be done in the
polar regions now is to definitely
ascertain whether or not land exists
near the pole. have every reason
to believe that land does exist
there; in fact, I think / saw it in
the fNr distance on my last expe-
dition into the polar regions. Scien-
lists who have studied the Ques-
ton agree with me that land should
exist in what is now a great unex-
plored region between Alaska and
the North Pole"
Commander Macmillan explained
that II land was found it would
be a veritable treasure trove for
the scientists Of the world.
'If Amundsen has not been found
by the time we reach the north, Of
course, our first efforts will be
directed toward finding him." Com
mander Macmillan said. ''It is my
idea that 1t is as yet too carly to
worry about .Amurdsen, however.
He Is the greatest arctic explorer
we have; he Is on a carefully planned
expedition; he has food enough for
thirty days, and he has been gone

and four children to elope with the

The fiery romance and subse-

In March, 1912, while his suit for

After years of wandering over

Cause Of Sudden Explosion n
Carolina workings Still
Unsolved Mystery
By Il. E. POWELL.

SANFORD, ii. C., May 2s.
The bodies Of George and +. s.
Anderson, white miners, were
brought from the Carolina Coal
Company's wrecked mine shortly
before dawn today, making total
Of eight Of the seventy-one en-
tombed mine that have been
brought to the surface.
Members Of the rescue party
which found the bodies said it
was their opinion that every one
of the entombed men was killed.
Six bodies were recovered last
night. They included four white
men and two negroes.
Relief Expedition Awaited.
The relief expedition from the
United States Bureau OF Mines
had not reached here at an early
hour today.
Army Surgeons at Work.
Operatives in the mine said that
the fans in the farther end OF the
shaft were working and this led to
a faint hope that some men might
be found alive, but others were
just as certain that no life would
be found in the blasted workings.
A corps of army surgeons from
Fort Bragg were on the scene
early today to man the temporary
rka S0I.
by the Sanford chapter of the
American Red Cross.
Under direction of Mrs. Evelyn
Nimocks, of Fayetteville, the aux
iliary Of the American Legion also
set up a first aid station inside the
lines.
Rescue work also was speeded up
today by the arrival of a special car
with rescue apparatus from the
United States bureau OF mines.
Bodies Are MangIed.
The first six bodies reached and
brought to the surface yesterday
are those seen by Howard Butler,
assistant manager of the mine. 1
when he went down after the first
gush of smoke came from the mine
shortly before noon yesterday.
Buffers attention was called by
". D. Smith, bookkeeper at the
mines. Hurrying down the shaft
and into the. tunnel Butler dashed
for a telephone to summon help.
A second explosion knocked him
down and another helper then called
for a doctor. Butler was rushed
back and given medical treatment
before any further efforts were
made to enter the mine.
The six bodies recovered were
torn about the head.
1t was impossible to say whether
they were white or colorede men.
Other mine workers and mem.
bers of families or the entombed
men stood patiently by while
physicians determined that all of
them were dead.
Mine Is An Old One.
The Carolina mine is the oldest
coal mine in North Carolina, hav
ing been operated since a short
time since the civil war.
1t supplied fuel during the war
to vessels Of the Confederate navy.
Attempts to expand the coal in
iustry in Lee and Moore counties
have been marked with one failure

The fliers have been missing q

Directors of the union are to

''the company having given the

The Washington Times several
weeks ago that the phone company
would fight a rate reduction.
From all indications, an impounded
fund, similar to that established by
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, will be the first result of
court action.
The company will seek an in
junction on the ground that the
valuation, on which reduced rates
are based, is erroneous, and the
revised charges being confiscatory,
unfair and unreasonable, it is said.
An early hearing is expected. The
public utility act gives public utili-
ty cases the right of way over
other matters before the court.
Final settlement of the case will
rot come for many months, possibly
several years. In the meantime,
