DIR. GROSvENOR'S REPLY.
speech of Amundsen Quoted Contains
Praise of Peary.

The following statement was issued
today by DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor. presi.
uent Of the National Geographic So
ciety:
The National Geographic Society
IN the past has extended to Comdr.
-AllundSen greater honors than ac-
corded to any other explorer exceptinar
i'eary, and it has given him the same
honor that it has accorded Pearv.
namely. the Hubbard gold medal in
december, 1907, and a special gold
medal in January. 1918. The latter
was presented to Comdr. Amundsen
by the hand of Admiral Peary. acting
on behalf of the National Geogra phic
society. On that occasion Comdr.
Amundsen replied as follows:
From the time | was boy | FOL.
lowed Admiral Peary in his work. I
was with him when, in 1890, for the
hrst time. he crossed Greenland. T
was with him in my thoughts: | was
100 young to try to follow him, but I
followed him in my thoughts and later
IN his work. | followed him when
1nch by inch he worked his way to-
ward the north. inch by inch, foot by
1oot and yard by yard. until he finally
succeeded in planting the Stars and
stripes on the most difficult part of
our globe.
THANKS Admiral Peary.
[ am mighty thankful to you. Ad.
nlIral Peary, for all the experience
and all the assistance you have really
given me in my work.
There is one thing which perhaps
not many of you here tonight know.
and that is that it was really Admiral
Peary who sent me out to the South
Pole. was preparing my trip toward
the North Pole regions-it may be to
the North POle-in 1909. It was not
Very easy to start an expedition from
Norway, for it was hard work among
Us to raise money, and | was prepal'-
Ing this expedition slowly.
Then suddenly the news flashed
ALL over the world that the North Pole
had been attained; that Admiral Peary
had planted the Stars and Stripes up
there. The money, which had been
scarce. now went down to nothing. I
could not get cent more, and | was
IN the midst of my preparations.
One of the last myst erious points
of the globe had been discovered.
The last one still remained undis-
covered. and then il was that | tool,

Sales Break Records.
Sales yesterday were greater in
volume than on any other day in the
history of the New York Stock EX-
change.
Tabulations varied from 3,7S5,70 to
3,766,111 shares. The previous record
was 3,340.600. Six hundred and fifty
three issues were dealt in, breaking
Tuesdays record of 625.
The average decline for 25 repre-
sentative rails was 2.63. For the in
dustrialS it was 4.01.
Losses for the day ran from frac-
tons to as high as so points. The
general average was 17la points below
the years high reached February 13.
Since that day, stocks which had been
climbing since the election of Coolidge,
had been gradually dropping and the
decline became sharp Tuesday.
Estimates of paper losses by the de-
cline in quoted values vary. Some
place such losses aS more than 81 ,O00,-
100000 the last two days and 100000
1000 since February 10.
Prospects of railroad mergers came
next to the market in interest in
financial circles.
Speyer & Co., financial hackers of
the proposed Frisco Rock Island mer.
ger, find encouragement in the fact
that the commission favored the
Nickel Plate merger from a trans
portation point of view They also
note that the decision protects minor
ity interests and opposes monopoly
Of transportation in the hands of a
few.
y theory that President Coolidge
may inadvertently have given a tip
on the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's decision in the Nickel Plate
merger is advanced in a Washing
ton dispatch to the World today.
Because the current decline in
stocks began about an hour before
the decision was announced Tuesday
there have been suggestions that the
news leaked, but all authorities re-
gard a leak as impossible.
The World correspondent says that
in a recent exposition of the Presi-
Oent > attitude on ralifoad cOnSOllda-
tions mention was made of a recent
visit of Prof. William H. Ripley, the
Harvard economist.
Prof. Ripley originally sounded the
alarm against the issuance of non
voting stock to keep control in the
hands of minority stockholders with
voting stock.
AS this was one of the vital points
in the Van Sweringen enterprise and
one to which the commission found
objection, the World correspondent
suggests that quick-witted operators
sensed the unfavorable action
Although it was not specifically
stated that the President shared the
views of Prof. Ripley, the fact that
he had been summoned to Washing
ton on the matter suggested this pos
sibility. the World correspondent says.

CHILLY WINDS REVIVE DISCUSSION
OF LATER INAUGURAL DATE
Congress Headed for Early Ceremony, But Better
Weather of April 30 Is Cited in Arguments
for Delay.

The whirling winds of March blew
some rather typical 4th of March
weather into the Capital today. They
sent the thermometer down to "a de-.
grees early this morning, with pros
poets that it would remain low enough
throughout the day to make the re-
view from stands or sidewalks of an
inaugural procession--if this were an
inaugural year-a rather chilly and
uncomfortable pastime.
The habit of the thermometer on
March of giving a gentle reminder
that Winter is not yet over always
serves to revive the suggestion that the
date of the presidential inaugural be
changed-for huma anitarian reasons, at
least-to some balmy day in the
Spring.
Congress, however, is going in the
other direction just now, and if reso-
luton passed by the Senate and now
pending in the House becomes a con.
stitutional amendment, the President
and Vice President will be inaugurated
into office on the third Monday of jan
nary. Brrrr.
An inaugural throng in the Capital
today, however, would at least be able
to keep dry and the day is nothing
less than sublime in comparison with
some other March fourths not yet for
gotten, notably the famous flare
back" fourth Of President Taft's in
augural in 1909.
Evening star., 1926-03-04

As an almost habitual purveyor
Of wintry weather for inaugural occa-
sions, March is amply indicted by
the 50-year records of the Weather
Bureau. President Grants second in
augural, in 1873, holds the record for
low temperatures, with minimum or
4 degrees and a maximum Of ~.
From that date to 1901 there have
been II years in which below-freez-
ing temperature has been recorded on
March 4.
Below-freezing minimums are rec.
orded for the inaugurals of President
Hayes. in 1877. 25 degrees; Garfield.
1881, 29 degrees; Cleveland, 1893, "a
degrees: Roosevelt. 1905, 20 degrees,
and Taft, 1909, 29 degrees. The low
est temperature for President Cool
idges inaugural, last March 4. was 2S
degrees.
Some % years ago there was consid-
erable discussion and effort to amend
the Constitution SO as to defer In
augurals until April 80. If that were
done. the Weather Bureau records
show that inaugural spectators would
enjoy an average temperature 20 de-
grees above that for March 4. The
average for April 80 is SO degrees, as
compared with 3S for March 4. and
during the whole period Of the Wealth
er Bureaus existence a freezing tenn
perature has never been recorded for

Financial experts today were in

The decline. they felt. was due to

Failure to Lecture Here Is
Explained by Dr.. Gilbert
GroSvenor.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Capt. Ro-
aid Amundsen, explorer, in an inter.
view last night explained some diff
culties, and incidentally received a
gift from an old friend who was, to
some extent, responsible for the diff
ficulties.
The explanation concerned the Ma.
tional Geographic Society's wit
drawal of an invitation to speak be-
fore it, because of statements he
made, or was reported to have made,
concerning the claims of DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook to the discovery of the
North Pole
The gift came from DR.. Cook, now
an inmate of Leavenworth prison. 1t
was a hand-embroidered table cover,
made by DR.. Cook. 1t moved Capt.
Amundsen considerably.
Starting Date Unsettled.
Capt. Amundsen also took occasion
90 deny reports that his contemplated
Polar dirigible flight would be a race
with another expedition led by Comdr
Byrd. No starting time had been set
Tor his expedition, he said About

capt. Amundsen, after a visit to
