COMDR. BYRD GIVEN
NOISY FAREWELL.
Leaves With Best Wishes of
Nation on South Pole
Exploration Trip.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN PEDRO, Calf, October Ii
Down the trail that always has called
him, Comdr. Richard E. Byrd today
was bound for the bottom of the earth
in search of adventure fused with sci
entific exploration.
Away at last on his long-planned ex-
pedition to the Antarctic, the COM
mander and the remainder of his hand
picked followers were aboard the Nor
wegian whaler G. A. Larsen, bound for
New Zealand, common rendezvous for
the four ships that later this year
will push on down into the Antarctic
circle.
Ross Sea Immediate Objective.
Ross Sea was the Immediate objec-
tive of the commander, who later hopes
same manner he and the late Floyd
Bennett reached the North Pole, More
important in the announced plans of
the Byrd expedition, however, was a
long, intensive study of the Antarctic
that may keep the party exiled.in the
icy wastes for two years or more.
Westward with the setting sun the
giant Whaler, last of the vessels to
leave American waters, slipped through
harbor channel last night amid a bed
lam of farewells from whistling harbor
craft and crowds that lined the piers
The shrill whistle of street cars was

The last minutes of Byrd and
members of his party on American soil
had been given over to official fare
wells, to newspaper interviews, posing
for pictures for motion picture and
news cameras and even few minutes
for the talking movies.
Modern communication methods made
it possible for the commander to have
farewell talks with his mother, Mrs. r.
E. Byrd, in Winchester, Va, and his
brother, Gov. Harry Byrd at Richmond
Va. The telephone company had
brought special line aboard ship to
make this possible.
Commander Left Behind.
AS the boat threw off its lines, it
slipped away from the dock without
the commander. A moment previously
he had stepped ashore for another
farewell word with his wife. She had
accompanied him to the dock an hour
before and waited in an automobile
until he had boarded the ship Smiling
ly she refused to pose for the army of
cameramen who had been striving to
snap a picture of the couple together.
The last leavtaking was a simple
handclasp, an exchange of steady looks
and few words Then each turned
to their jobs-Byrd's two or even three
years of filling in the blank spaces
of the map" and his wifes the keep
ing of their Boston home for his re-
turn.
A speedboat was pressed into service
by Comdr Byrd to overtake the big
whaler, and he was hauled to the deck
over the stern, which hung low in the
water with the boats 10,000-ton cargo.
Searchlights of the battle fleet blink

Places Estimate for Repro

The estimated cost of reproducing

Light Co. was placed by the company
at $2,189,080, without depreciation or
land value, at today's session of the
hearings before the Utilities Commits
sion in the revaluation of the COM
pany's property.
Robert o. Luqueer, the company en-
gineer, who has been on the stand for
several days, this morning finished his
testimony relating to the direct cost of
reproducing the east station, and took
up similar figures for the west station,
following which will come testimony re-
gardng the reproduction costs of the
remainder of the physical property,
such as distribution system, outlying
holders, land and other equipment en-
tering into the conduct of the gas
business.
Testimony on Company's Estimates.
All OF the testimony thus far has dealt
with the company's estimates of repro
duction costs, which will continue for
some time under the present procedure.
When Mr.. Luqueer finishes H. Carl
Wolf, who estimated reproduction costs
Tor the commission, will have similar
detailed testimony to give.

mates of Mr.. Luqueer and Mr.. Wolf

that 1t was his thought in presenting

SUBMERGED SEDAN
YIELDS MANS BODY
Engineer Sees Light From
Car in Potomac While Cross
ing R., F. & P. Bridge.

Acting on the report of a railroad
engineer who while taking his train
across the Potomac River Railroad
Bridge early today observed small red
light burning beneath the water, the
Fire Department rescue squad found a
sedan resting in eight feet of water
north of the railroad bridge and the
body of Roy c. Delaney, colored, let
ter carrier, 81, 1905 Fifteenth street, at
the wheel.
The automobile had plunged into the
water from the sea wall just north Of
the r. F. & P. Railroad Bridge in Po-
tomac Park, probably a short time be-
fore Engineer M. Hicks of the South
,ern Railway crossed the river. Hicks,
on arriving at Alexandria, left his cab
and telephoned the Washington police
about the red light, but at the same
time declared that what he saw may
have been an optical Illusion.
Other Body Believed Seen.
In hosting the car to the surface
several observers thought they saw
what appeared to be another body, but
a thorough search of the river bottom
at and around the point where the car
entered the water failed to confirm the
belief The body of the colored man
was rushed to Emergency Hospital,
where physicians pronounced life ex-
tinct 1t then was taken to the Morgue.
When Engineer Hicks call was re-
ceived shortly after 3 o'clock the rescue
squad, members of the harbor and
fourth precincts and Headquarters De-
tective H. E. Brodie sped to the rail-
road bridge. They found the sedan
lying in an inverted position, with
wheel showing above the water and the
tail light burning brightly. Capt. j. r.
Groves, commanding the rescue squad,
with three of his men, N. G. Robinson,
L. C. Kengla and D. j. Mccarthy, shed
their clothes and swan out for the car.
