BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Capt. Lansdowne of the dirigible

Navy Department for permission to
go to the relief of the Amundsen ex-
pedition in the Arctic.
Whether the permission will be
granted is doubtful. because the Navy

Macmillan to Have Radio.
The Navy has not yet completed its
plans to back up the MacMillan-Byrd
trip to the Arctic, but every precau'
ton is being taken to avoid what hap
pened to Amundsen. In other words,
radio equipment will be carried by the
Navy fiiers as well as carrier pigeons.
A reserve plane will be kept at the
base to go out on a scouting flight in
the event that the first two planes are
compelled to land or are lost. And be-
sides all this, the dirigible will be kept
near at hand to make the flight over
the unexplored areas in search OF the
planes should they need help.
The winds of the Arctic Zone are
so variable that 1t is considered risky
to send the dirigible north unless a b.
solutely essential. Differences of opin-
ion have been expressed inside the
Navy as to the wisdom of sending
the Shenandoah north to look for
Amundsen or anybody else, for 1t is
thought the big ship, with its large
crew, might run more danger than
the explorers travelling on foot. If
the Norwegian government should
make a plea for the use Of the Shen.
andoah in the search the Navy might
stretch point, but even in that case
the dirigible would hardly be sent
north until after the Macmillan Byrd
expedition has reported on the scout.

will then be established at some point
near Cape Columbia, and the entire
region observed by airplane, in the
hope of finding Amundsen, for the
Navy will delay its plans for the ex.
ploration part Of it's program in the
Arctic until absolutely assured that
Amundsen is found or is not in the
vicinity.
There is every reason to believe that
the Navy planes will be able to keep
in constant touch with their base by

PRINCESS WINNER
IN EVICTION SUIT
Temporary Injunction Of
Carry-0n Club Dissolved,
Effective Monday.

Princess Elaine Won der Lippe-Lip-
sky today was adjudged the victor in
the legal battle which resulted from
the spectacular ousting of the Carry
On Club from her palatial Scott Circle
residence several weeks ago.
Justice Hitz, in dissolving, effective
Monday, the temporary Injunction OBJ
tained by the club against the princess,
announced that Princess Elaine Is en-
titled to undisputed possession of her
home, which has been used as head
quarters of the club for several years.
The princess attorneys advised the
court that no actually disabled men,
ber of the club viii be evicted. The
organization embraces ex-service men
of the Army. Navy and Marine Corps.
Justice Hitz held, however, that the
club is entitled to an accounting of
funds which 1t paid the princess from
time to time. as shown in evidence in
troduced by the plaintiffs. Club coun-
sci stated after the hearing that be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 will be
claimed from the princess under this
decision Of the court. The club, 1t was
indicated, will claim all the money OBJ
tanned by the princess from a second
mortgage on the residence. interest
for which was paid, it is alleged, by
the club.
Restraining Order Continued.
The temporary restraining order,
which has prevented the princess from
evicting the men pending outcome Of
the hearing, was continued until Mon
day by agreement of counsel, who told
the court they wished to confer re-
garding how many members of the
club may remain in their present
quarters, and concerning other details.
Tt was intimated by Thomas & Full
ler, attorneys for the club, however.
that the disabled Carry-On members
may refuse the hospitality of the
princess and set up headquarters else
where.
The injunction proceedings were the
outgrowth of long controversy which
eliminated suddenly when Princess
| Elaine hired a force of private de-
tectives" forcibly to eject the club

of undesignated species, 15 birds OF
varying sizes, 100 reptiles, snakes and
fishes and more than 1000 insects OF
giant size.
