ROCHESTER,, ~ T., Sept. TO-
Commdr. Richard j. Byrd, explorer
and transoceanirJ flier. expects to
discover vast 6nexplored southern
continent on dis South Pole expedi-
tion next summer.
''We will make our base on the
Ross ice barrier, flying with skis
from there" he said today.
"A land area, one and.half times
rs large as the United States, is be.
heved to exist down there. A con-
tinent is believed to rest under the
great ice sheet. In parts, land has
been uncovered.
1.-THE fact that the ice is piled up
$4,000 feet above sea level indicates
that there is q great mass Of land
beneath it."
Byrd's expedition win leave by
steamer from New York for the
Ross ice barrier, on the Antarctic
continent. where a base and camp
will be established. The boat will
carry the Byrd party right to the
ice barrier. From this camp flights
will be made by airplane.
Believes In Ice Age
1T think there is an ice age going
! on down there now" said Byrd,
"such as that which visited this
part of the world long ago. As we
think of time the ice is perpetually
there and is 200 feet thick in most
plS ces."
Byrd, will try to plant an Ameri-
can ilagsat the South pole, although
the expedition will be principally
scientific. He will take 10 scientists
with him. The length OF the expe-
dition will re from eight months to
a year and q Nhalf and they will
have covered $4,000 miles by the
time they returh>
So far, according to Commander
Byrd, no animal Lite larger than
q spider has been rSported living
in the Antarctic continent. Seals
and birds Sojourn on its edge, but
do not live there.
GeOlOgist to Go Along
Byrd said his party hopes to find
places where they can dig down
into the earth so they may be able
to learn the past history of the un.
known polar regions from fossil
remains that they may find.
BY taking q geologist and flying
him past jagged cliffs which are

EXHUMING BODY OF
 "LOVE NOTE" VICTIM
Marshalltown, Iowa, Authorities Going Deeper Into Death of
 Charles Elrod.

Marshalltown, Iowa, Jan. 24 Fr- Elimination today of the body of Charles Elrod, 2S year old Lewellen, Neb., widower. may solve the mys- tery surrounding the youths death a fortnight ago in Marshalltown hotel room.
 With authorities undecided whether the victim of a love letter hoax was slain. committed suicide, or died from natural causes, the body will be taken to Iowa City for examination by Dean Wilber Teeters of the University of Iowa. An ex- animation of vital organs several days ago revealed no trace of poi son.
 The dead mans school-gi sweet heart. Yeda Bellefeuille, has not re- turned to her classes, school authori- ties having requested that she re- main away until the investigation into Elrod's death Is completed.
 Officers have found new leads in the Keith Preston" letters-letters Miss Bellefeuille wrote to Elrod in an attempt to make him believed he had rival for her hand in an imaginary Keith Clayton"
 The theory that Elrod's death may have been the result of suicide pact with Miss Bellefeuille has brought denial from her.

 Being Sold.

Washington.

And will she continue to make jams and jellies for the kiddies?
 Partial answers to these questions are seen in census figures announced today by the commerce department valuing at 16,067,74S. an increase of 19.6 per cent, the production in 1925 of establishments engaged in the canning of fruits and vegetables and in the manufacture of pickles, jellies. preserves and sauces.

 Mack suggested that the tria continue public today only because he said. he would confine himsel to testimony to show merely tha' his client had been abandoned b! Mrs Browning.

 Exchange

Detroit, Jan. 24 R1How Ford Motor company stock was nearly listed on the stock exchange, and how Henry Ford prevented this with timely newspaper interview. was related today at the s30,ooo,000 tax trial.
 A deposition of A. L. McMeans, former secretary to John F. and Horace E. Dodge, said that s. K. Rothschild. who held an option on the 1000 Dodge shares in 1917. de- clared he was associated with New York group who planned to organ ize a holding company and sell stock. He gave up the option when he said his associates lost interest because Of newspaper articles quoting Henry Ford as planning to turn his plant over to the government. The option was renewed in 1919, being made to E. T. Berger, an associate of Roths- child, but was again surrendered. this time on payment of $675,0oO by Stewart Webb. representative of Ford, in buying out minority stock. It Is on this sale that the present suit hinges. The government con- tends the stock as of March 1. 1913. was valued too high for the compu- tation of taxable profits. and claims an additional S30,000,000.
 McMeans deposed that the Dodge Brothers were willing to sell be cause they were on bad terms with Ford and because they saw an op- portunity to make a large sum Of money" They had previously legally i compelled Ford to disburse divi- dends.

 Let us be perfectly candid about this thing" he said. "I make bold to make this assertion and challenge it's contradiction. The average man may know that his friend and neigh Dor has purchased liquor from a
 bootlegger, thus contributing to the
 violation of the law. The transaction
 may have occurred under his very
 eyes and he may be present upon
 subsequent occasions when the liquor is consumed in the home of his friend.
 And yet the same average man will not report that violation to the , authorities. When I use the term average man I include men in pub lie life. Yes, I include members of
 the United States senate.
 Recall. if you please, some of you, the social gatherings you have attended. You all know as we'll as
 I do that dozens of us have en- countered evidence clear and incon- trovertible of the violations of this
 law. And yet we do not hear of a single senator turning over his in- formation to the enforcing authori- ties. In this respect, senators and
