MAN ARRESTED
HERE WANTED

William B. Nelson, arrested Sat-

to arrive here today to take the man
back to prison. He has five years

Chief Martineson said today that
Nelson had planned to saw his way
out Of the Jail here. He offered a

MORSE READY
TO SEND AID
.T0AMUNDSEN
Arrangements Underway For
Prompt Action; Flyers
Believed Safe

Oslo, Norway, June 1.-THE fate Of
Captain Roald Amundsen's polar ex-
pediton still remains clouded in an
impenetrablc veil, which has hidden
the whereabouts Of the heroic party
since the start for the pole 10 days
ago. While the Norwegian govern
ment has not definitely ordered the
dispatch of relief. arrangements are
we'll under way for prompt action, if
at the end OF a fortnight, dating
from May p, no word from him
reaches his native shore.
Public opinion generally remains
quietly confident of Amundsen's abil-
ity to overcome both foreseen and
unforeseen obstacles and there is
much speculation regarding the pos
sibility of his making spectacular
temperance remote from where he
might be expected after reaching the
top Of the world.
1t has even been suggested that
Amundsen might try to reach his old
schooner Maude, which is somewhere
off the New Siberian Archipelago,
where she is frozen in. Numerous
wireless messages have been sent to
the Maude the past week, but they
have brought no response. This is
attributed to the insufficie:-y - he
Maude's wireless equipment to trans
NIT over long distances during the
polar day.
According to the highest authori-
ties, Amundsen is mostly likely to
make for either Spitzbergen or Cape
Columbia. Spitzbergen yesterday re-
ported clear weather, with no wind.
There were light clouds and tenn
perature about zero. The steamer
Fran has returned to Kings Bay for
supplies, leaving the Hobby alone to
watch the ice edge.

MYSTERY FIRE
CAUSES DEATH
OF RICH MAN
Wife Of Chicago Broker and
Police Officer Found
in Apartment
(By The Associated Press)

Chicago, June 1.-Conflicting stor-
les confronted police today in an ef-
fort to account for fire which caused
the death of Leo Reynolds Parsons,
wealthy broker and club man in an
apartment in a fashionable Northside
neighborhood Sunday morning.
Firemen found Parsons body part
ly clothed in the burning drawing
room of his home. In the apartment
at the time were Mrs. Parsons and
James K. King a policeman who said
he had accompanied the broker home
several hours previously.
Firemen believed that Parsons,
holding a lighted cigarette, may have
fallen asleep on the divan thus start
ing the fire. Beside the body was
found an unexploded revolver, but
its presence there could not be 'ac-
counted for.
King, who was questioned at a
hospital, said he had just ended his
patrol Tuesday when an auto coming
toward him was halted at his side
and the single occupant, Parsons. in
troduced himself and invited the po-
licemen to help drive him home.
King accompanied the broker to the
latter's apartment where they were
served breakfast, after which he de-
parted. He had just reached the
downstairs entrance, he related,
when a man rushed up and said the
apartment was on fire. King went
back and entered The living room
and closed the door, he said. Unable
to open it again he ran to the win
dow and hung on the ledge until his
strength gave away and he fell.
