Amundsen was reported to have

however.
Nome's thousand inhabitants waited
almost breathlessly for the first sight
of the big ship.
Amundsen has made his headquar-

Alaskans here regard him as one of

Summer White House in Ad-

in Appearance.

When President and Mrs. Coolidge

Adirondack Mountains of New York
State. to spend the coming Summer.
they will not be called upon to rough
it" or indulge in anything bordering
on the primitive, as the name of the
estate they are to occupy or it's re-
mote location may imply.
They will have every possible luxury
and comfort. According to those who
have inspected the house and grounds
of White Pine Camp. no expense has
been spared in making it possible for
the occupants to enjoy themselves and
to have all the comforts and conven.
fences of the most modern of homes.
The camping part of it, If it can be
called that, will be of the de luxe kind.
The property has been referred to as
one of the finest in that section.
White Pine Camp is situated on the
bank of Lake Osgood, one of the many
small lakes in the popular st. Regis
chain of lakes in northern New York.
1t consists of nearly 40 acres of land
which is almost entirely wooded. Un-

ing of the various buildings making
up the camp give the appearance, at

The place is ideally situated for sthe
purposes Of the President. 1t gives
him exclusiveness and quiet and 1t is
easy to guard and patrol. While 1t
is remote, it is not far distant from
what is referred to as the life of the
immediate section. Paul Smith s,
popular as a resort and Summer
colony, is less than 3 miles away.
It probably will be at this place that
the secret service, members of the
President clerical force and the
newspaper correspondents who cover

SHRINE
ACTION IS ORDERED
House Committee, Shelving
Roosevelt Memorial Plan.
Authorizes Resolution.

Virtually abandoning the Roosevelt
Memorial Associations proposal for
monument to the late President
of the White House, the House
library committee today authorized
Representative Bacon, Republican, of
New York to frame a resolution for
a suitable memorial to Thomas JEFF
ferson, author of the Declaration of
Independence, in Commemoration of
the centennial of his death this year.
Plans for such a memorial will be
taken up with President Coolidge
when the Sesquicentennial Commits
sion. established to commemorate the
Declaration of Independence, visits
the White House late this afternoon.
Mr. Bacon believes that this body now
has authority to sponsor an appro-
pirate memorial to Jefferson.
Boylan Makes Protest.
While there has been wavering
committee sentiment on the Roose.
welt proposal for some time, fairly
definite decision was taken following
the protest yesterday by Representa-
tive Boylan, Democrat, of New York.
In a letter to Chairman Luce of the
library committee, MIR. Boylan de-
clared that erection of monument to
Roosevelt, while Jefferson went un-
honored, would arouse nationwide re-
sentiment.
In reply to Mr.. Boylan, Mr.. Luce
wrote: There seems little likelihood
of favorable action being taken on
the proposal of the Roosevelt Me-
mortal Association, about which you
wrote U.S. The site selected by the
commission and the proposal that the
Government shall spend a large sum
In preparation of this site does not
meet with general favor in the cTn.
mittee. If the House committee de-
cides to hold hearing I shall be
glad, indeed. to have you present
your views.
CONGRESSMAN Bacon Of New York
was authorized at a meeting this
morning to draw up resolution COW
erng the erection of monument to
Thomas jefferson. 1t seems quite
likely that the matter will be taken
up by the committee in the near
future"
Sees Certain Support.
In his letter to Mr.. Luce Mr.. Boylan
indicated that movement to honor
jefferson in this way. would be assured
of financial support from those with
whom he had discussed the matter.
Mr.. Bacon. who for several years has
had before Congress Jefferson
memorial resolution, is of the opinion
that the existing commission can han.
die the project. Mr.. Bacon was also
the sponsor of the legislative plan for
a Roosevelt memorial and has intro
duced one similarly to honor James
Madison.

NOME READY FOR SHIP.
Sleep Ignored in Preparing to Receive
Amundsen.

NOME, Alaska. May 13 H).-Nome
stretched and yawned this morning
after sleepless hours of preparation for
the arrival here today of Capt. Roald
Amundsen in the dirigible Norge. The
big airship was reported to be nearing
Nome. the terminus of the first voy-
age across the Arctic from Europe to
America.
Early this morning Alaskan radio
stations reported that they had heard
signals from the Norge. the first to be
picked up since shortly after it
crossed over the North Pole. The
strength of the signals indicated that
Amundsen had touched the bleak
northern Alaska coast and was pro.
ceeding southwest toward Nome.
Amundsen, an intrepid Norwegian
explorer who first needed the call of
unknown domains when still a youth,
left Kings Bay. Spitzbergen, at 10
pm. Monday, Nome time. The fight
was to take between so and so hours.

STATION PICKS UP NORGE.
Airship Requested Free Ether fO
Passage of Its Messages.

CORDOVA. Alaska. May 13 OP.-At
1:50 this morning, Eastern standard
time, the airship Norge was heard
broadcasting the following:
"Airship Norge. bound Nome, Alas
ka. Please stop any interference here
by cannery station
The message was caught by radio
station of the United States Navy on
st. Paul Island, in Bering Sea. ST.
Paul Island is $50 miles south of
Nome.
The Norge used a 900-meter wave
length and tube transmitter. ST.
Paul Island, which is 900 miles west
of here. tried vainly to establish com.
munication with the Norge at that
time.
At 2:0S this morning. Eastern stand
ard time, st. Paul heard the Norge
ask: Does any one hear us?"
Two minutes later the Norge was
calling Nome, after having tried to
raise a station in Siberia, Then the
Norge called a station whose name
was not deciphered, and said: Go
ahead"

Band of Hopi Indians to Stage Famed
Snake Dance i'm Front of Capitol

With all of the pomp and regalia
used on the reservation, a select
group of the best trained performers
of the band will give the demenstra-
ton. Rattlesnakes generally are
used, but Senator Cameron said the
Indians do not harm the snakes in
any way.
The exercises on Saturday will be
open to the public and it is expected
that large gathering of Washing.
tonians will assemble in the Capitol
grounds. Senator Cameron pointed
out that thousands of tourists from
all parts of the United States and
even from other countries have
visited the Hopi reservation to wit
ness this solemn ceremonial. He said
that former President Roosevelt on
one occasion made trip to the reser-
yatiol to see the dance.
Evening star., 1926-05-13

Since the message which an
nounced the passing of the Norge
was sent more than an hour after
the time given for sighting the great
airship. it is assumed that the Norge
passed to the west of Barrow, head
ed southwest toward Nome. without
approaching nearer than the dis
tance given-i0 miles.
Speed Not Calculated.
Through the heavy mist that has
hung over the Arctic about Barrow
for several days it was impossible to
calculate the speed or altitude of the
dark bulk 10 miles away. However.
if the Norge maintains speed of so
miles an hour. she should reach Nome,
about $50 miles from Barrow. at 1856
am. Q2:35 pm. Eastern standard
time).
