book most carefully studied is that OF
Amundsen, for we live near Framheim,
his base, and his route to the pole will
be that of our southern shedding party
to the mountains and also the route Of
Comdr. Byrd's flight to the pole. There

least devoted to the polar regions, the
| Arctic books going as far back Is the
cruise of the Belgica.
Books Have Seen Service.
We also have the largest part Of the
Everymans Library, some of it having
been injured by water on the way down
and the Haldaman-Jultus blue books
are scattered In every bunk.
Nearly every man has q book shelf
over his bunk, In which he keeps a few
books Of his own, favoriteS which he
likes to turn to again and again In quiet
borrowed on the solemn promise that
they will be returned.
There is little that man cherishes
so much as the books he carries with
him, and some Of these have been in
strange places. Larry Gould has some
he had with him in Greenland and
Bafin Land and DR.. Conan has some
books which he carried In the trenches
during the four years he was with the
TTGICu fAIIly &S y private oOlQICI.
Martin Rome. the sailmaker, who
was with Amundsen. has some sof
Amundsen's books in Norwegian, which
the explorer presented to him. and some
Norwegian magazines and newspapers
which he pores over at times. He can
read English little. but not enough to
enjoy it. The only English book which
he has read Is Comdr. Byrd's Sky
ward"
Bernt Balchens private library con.
sists almost entirely of works on aero
dynamics and airplane engineering, and
from after dinner until he goes to bed
he is generally busy with slide rule and
cross-Section paper. He reads occa-
sionally polar books, something of
Ibsens. the sagaS. or some of the
humorous books, Of which we have
good number.
Reading has filled a large part of
our life this Winter, and the library is
as good as could have been chosen. It
offers opportunities for study as we'll as
amusement, and 1t is astonishing how
many men have been studying very Sc
riously this Winter.

Ninety per cent of Washington
homes have more than several
quarts of liquor" on the premises,
according to Attorney William E.
Leahy.
Leahy, who is counsel for Capt.
Guy e. Burlingame in the Blalock
case, is defending Frank Shore,
1900 block New York Ave. N. W.,
against what he contends is an IL
legal search Of his premises on
January 28.
The search resulted from the
tracing Of three trunks to Shore's
tire shop.
A motion to quash charges grow
ing out of Shores arrest was
argued at a lengthy hearing yester-
day afternoon before United States
Commissioner Needhan c. Turnage.
Turnage had the case under advise
ment today.
Because Federal Prohibition Agent
w. A. Heddons heard suspicious
gurgle when he moved one of the
trunks he did not have a legal right
to open them, Leahy contended.
Three trunks were sent to a "Mr.
WltIOQSnDy III care OL oAOES 4AOAA4
a "Mr. Willoughby," of Miami, Fla.
Federal agents learned of the ship
ment and examined the trunks at
the American Express Company.
Because the gurgle resulted when
one of them was shaken, search
warrant was procured and Shore
was arrested soon after the trunks
were delivered to his shop.
Shore says he does not know
''Mr. Willoughby." He said he
knew nothing of the trunks and
had wondered to whom they be-
longed. They were found to con,
tain high grade liquor. the agent
said.
A search of the Shore premises
revealed several additional quarts
of alleged liquor. it was said.
The latter procedure was also
illegal, Attorney Leahy claimed, and
he added that the quantity was
negligible.
"I venture to say that you will
find more liquor than this in go

FORFARN
CHIEF
BY GEORGE E. DURNO

While President-elect Hoover was
still in a dilemma over the Attorney
Generalship in his cabinet, immed-
late interest around Hoover head
quarters swung today toward the
Agriculture portfolio.
Since william M. Jardine, the
present secretary, elected to retire
to more remunerative pursuits in
private life, Hoover is said to have
had under consideration number
Of men for this post.
The expected arrival in Washing
ton of Thomas Douglas Campbell,
of Hardin, Montana, the worlds
largest wheat farmer, was respon-
sible for the focus of the agrarian
spotlight, for Campbell has been
highly touted as the next chief of
the Department of Agriculture.
Farms $4,000 Acres
The man who farms $4,000 acres
of actual wheat docked yesterday
in New York, completing a rather
mysterious trip to Russia which
many say was undertaken at the
behest of Hoover, who desired GER
| tain information about conditions
in the Soviet
In recognition of the seriousness
| with which Campbell has been men,
toned for the Agricultural port
folio, various farm leaders have
launched quite a fight against the
possibility of his being named
TAey say he is not practical
farmer and that his vast holdings
have been consistently unprofitable.
AS the story goes, which is be-
ing used against him, Campbell
went to Wall Street during the war,
and, pointing out the need for a
tremendous increase in wheat acre
age il the armies Of the world
were to be fed, persuaded bankers
| into backing him heavily. His
farming ventures are alleged to
have been rather costly, his op-
| ponents insisting. that he has sur.
Vived only because Wall Street was
| involved too deeply to drop oue
and take a complete loss.
Liked By Hoover
Despite the persistence of opposi-
| ton of this nature, however,
Campbells name still remained IN
the forefront Of those being backed
for places in the Hoover Cabinet.
The President-elect is said to have
a genuine liking for the Montanan,
and if it is true, as reported, he
has been abroad on Hoover mis-
sion, that fact would tend to
strengthen his cause. Campbell
also found favor with President
Coolidge during the past few years.
Senator Brookhart lR.) of Iowa,
was a scheduled caller at the

FIGHT
BY international New. service


The Ware case, an oil inquiry, a
fight to withdraw the marines from
Nicaragua, a battle against apprO'
priating funds to build the Navy's
new cruisers and a couple of fill
busters against other measures all
tended today to indicate a real leg
islative jam in the Senate.
The Ware case, in which the Reed
committee declared Senator-elect
William s. Ware (R) of Pennsyl-
vania is mot entitled to a seat in
the Senate" is to be called up at
noon by Senator James A. Reed
Cd of Missouri, as a matter OF
highest privilege. The Reed com.
mittee is to meet during the fore
noon to draft a resolution to be
submitted to the Senate. 1t may
recommend the immediate exclusion
OF Ware or it may refer the whole
matter to the Senate without recon-.
mendation.
II the committee demands Vare's
immediate ousting, it will lead to a
prolonged battle in the Senate.
Senator King D) of Utah, already
has announced he opposed final
decision in the case until Ware has
had an opportunity to appear in
person before the Senate. Senator
Reed R.) of Pennsylvania, and
Senator Moses R.) of New Hamp-
shire, SUPPORT Kings position. Ware
has been i'll for year past and is
in Florida now attempting to re-
cover his health.
The oil inquiry was before the
Senate Public Lands Committee,
which has been debating for two
days, behind locked doors, the Nye
resolution, calling for a further in
quiry into the leasing of the Salt
Creek Government oil fields. The
leases were negotiated by the Will
son Administration and have never
been investigated, although some
Government authorities declared
them based upon fraud. The com.
mittee- expected to reach decision

The $3.50, 100000 naval appropria
ton bin meanwhile was pending as

An amendment was added to it late
yesterday, ordering the withdrawal
of all marines from Nicaragua by
July l. Offered by Senator Dill
CD of Washington, it was adopted
by a vote of 3S to 80. Senator
Hale R) of Maine, in charge of the
bill, announced he would seek an.
other vote on it today if debate
is resumed on the naval bill.
A half dozen Senators meanwhile
fought against passage of the meas.
ure because it included a $500, 1000
item for starting work during the
next fiscal year on the second five
Of the fifteen new cruisers. There
was no opposition to the initial ap-
preparation of $12,370,000 to start

An autopsy by the coroner's

last night established that Hubert
had taken his own life. There was
a bullet wound near the heart and
another in the temple. Hulhert's

body. Dependency over the death
of his wife q few months ago
and his own i'll health is believed to
have led Hubert to the act.
Tired of Killing

signed as State executioner three
years ago after IS years in the

He was 55 years old and was
electrician at Auburn prison here

FOR HUGE
SUM
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

VETS and drys marched to the
Congressional firing line again
today for another battle in the
House over the appropriation Of
more money for prohibition enforce
ment.
Southern drys prepared to make
their last attack upon the regime
of secretary of the Treasury Mellon
by ridiculfng the new $2,747,00O
supplementary estimate sent to Con-
gress by President Coolidge.
At the same time a dripping
wet' spurned both the Southern
dry and Administration proposals
and prepared to offer an amend.
ment to vote an additional $780,
100000 for dry law enforcement.
This amendment was to be offered
by Representative LaGuardia R9
of New York.
The second deficiency bill, replac-
ing the first deficiency bill, which
was killed through differences of
Senate and House over the Harris
extra $24, 1000, 900 dry fund amend
ment, furnished the opportunity for
another close quarters engagement
over the Eighteenth Amendment and
its enforcement.
Compromise Seen
Administration leaders, after hav-
ing sent the Harris amendment to
conference on a vote of 240 to 141,
were confident that they would ward
off all efforts of Democrats to dis
turb the budget estimate of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
The $2,700, 900 additional asked by
Mr.. Coolidge was construed as the
Administration bid for compro-
mise on the $24,000.00 amendment.
1t would provide additional agents to
be sent principally to large cities,
give the Coast Guard some additional
funds, and speed the placing of dry
agents under civii service.
With the present dry law appro-
priations approximating $35, 100000,
the additional sum, the Southern
dry opponents of the Administration
declared, is little more than a ges-
ture.
At the same time Representative
Byrne D.) of Tennessee, leader of
the minority on the Ways and
Means Committee, said that the
Harris $24000,000 amendment prob
ably would not be revived. The
Southern Democrats planned to Of
fer lesser sum in a somewhat
different form.
LaGuafdia To Fight
Representative LaGuardia, who
started the original fuss over more
money for prohibition. said that he
would demand $3.50. .000,000 more for
prohibition enforcement on the
authority of the statement of DR..
