Recent Disco0eries BY Byrd Bring Question TO
Fore mn the State Department-A
British Note on the Subject

should have been his years ago. Today, as a
monument to his work below the Capricorn,
exists wilkes Land.
Byrd has discovered two new mountain
ranges. One-the Rockefeller Range-hes to
the east and north of his base, Little America.
The other range, declared to tower from 5000
to 10000 feet over the ice plain, lies farther
to the east. The Rockefeller Range lies within
what is known the Ross Dependency, claim
ed by the British government. But the other
range, farther to the east, lies outside this
range and is one never before seen by the
eyes Of man. They lie at the edge of what has
been described "a new land Of limitless posi-
bilities." Byrd observed them flying south to-
ward the pole, 14O miles.
1t is this new land that, named after his
wife, Byrd plans to explore more thoroughly
when Summer comes again to Antarctica and
to photograph from the sky. Forty thousand
square miles in all come within the range of
eye as he flew southwark skimming over the
frozen world.
SCOTT, an Englishman, discovered King Ed
ward VII Land which lies to the east and
north of the Rockefeller Range. He was un-
able to see the mountains his left as he
skirted the Ross Sea- The same for Prestrud,
with the Amundsen expedition, who reached
the Nunataks in 1911. This leaves to Byrd
therefore. the sighting and mapping of land
inland from the Ross Sea toward the South
Pole over O vast land area.
AT the state Department there Is no precedent
TO follow In determining who this vast unchart-
ed expanse shall belong to- Britain may claim
1T by right of Contiguous territory" The
United States may claim 1t by right of dis
coyery. The Monroe Doctrine, brought forward
every time question of foreign settlement of
any part OF the Western Hemisphere Is
threatened. can hardly be invoked in this new
and latest territorial argument" That seems
to affect only the South and Central American
countries and by no stretch of the imagination
can it be said to apply to the land area around
the South Pole.
In the first place, no one Is settling there
and it is not likely that any foreign government
would be interested in establishing a colony
in the near remote future. Antarctica is
hardly a land to invite colonization. No life
exists on the continenC-no animal lfe-Such
as is the case in the North Polar region.
AS consequence, therefore, an international
arbitration commission may be set up In order
to settle the conflicting claims. The law and
the usage of nations has not as yet ever de-
termined the extent to which ownership follows
discovery of new territory whether inhabitated
by people or not. And unquestionably some
right of possession follows discovery, for all

down through the ages new land has been
claimed successfully by these who discovered it
in the name of their king or country
Again, neither the United States nor Great
Britain would have title to all Antarctica if
the II saw it first ownership theory should
prevail. For there have been other explorers
in this desolate land. Anundsen trailed across
the ice plateau beyond the mountains across
the ice barrier from the Ross Sea. He reported
the appearance of land closer in toward the
Pole than the Marie Byrd Land, approximately
lao miles inland Norway, it thus would appear.
could enter a claim for land on the continent.
And there Is DUrville. the French explorer,
who at the same time that Wilkes was push
ing around through the ice of the Ross Sea,
was guiding French ship through the same
waters. D'Urville, one day later than that on
which Wilkes planted his flag on his fiinty
ice island, sighted land at q distance of some
400 miles from him. DUrville, who made no
landing. gave this land the name Of Adele
Land. What are its metes and bounds?

This section of the desert area of Utah has

Ores Exhibited Here.

A N interesting collection of metals has been
placed ON display at the administrative
offices of the Bureau of Mines at Seventeenth

Specimens OF most of the ore taken from
the large mines of the world are on display and
have been obtained through the efforts of the
various experiment stations, the National Mu-
scum and private individuals
A novel feature of the exhibit is a colIec-
ton Of spheres made of the various metals
These spheres are 6 inches in diameter and
include practically all of the common metals
Among them are aluminium anthony,
chromium, copper, iron, lead, magnesium,
manganese. nickel, silicon, tin and zinc.

Tunniclife's Hotel. This, in 1904, went into the
hands Of Pontius D. STEELE and the place be-
came widely known under his name. The con-
sideration Of Mr.. Tunnicliffe was $4,000 for
ground hotel buildings and effects, with
stabling for so horses"
The principal private residences of all of the
Chief Justices who served in Washington are
still standing Though then built in strictly
residential sections, today they are right in the
heart of the business area, and before many
years, no doubt, some, If not all, will give way
to a skyScraper or two.
WHEN the Supreme Court moved to this city
w in 1901, the celebrated John Marshall was
to sit on the bench for the first time as the
Chief Justice of the United States and he was
occupying this Office when the Supreme Court
met in the Caldwell house. The house where
he resided for some years is still standing, and
in good condition, at 1901 r street northwest,
and here also resided Chief Justice Melville w.
Fuller after moving from the Barber Castle,
which stood where the Clifton Terrace Apart
ments now stand. Judge Marshall was born
in Fauquier County, Va. in 1755, and died in
Philadelphia July 6, 1885.
1t was in 1905 during the term of John
Marshall, that the Supreme Court handed down
a decision that a resident of the District of

~that courts open to aliens and to the citizens

and not judicial consideration"
Roger Brooke fancy, who followed the great
John Marshall into office. resided while in
Washington at 31S Indiana avenue and died
there on october H. 1864. He was born in
Calvert County, Md, March II, 1T77. In COM
pairing some of his decisions, one might feel
that Judge fancy did not always think the
same way, for it is said:
In defending the Rev. Jacob Gruber from
a charge of melting slaves to disorder in Mary
land in 1918 Mr.. fancy used these memorable
words: "A hard necessity, indeed, compels us
to endure the evil of slavery for time. It
was imposed upon us by another nation while
yet we were in a state Of colonial vassalage
1t cannot be easily or suddenly removed. Yet
while it continues it is blot on our national
character, and every real lover of freedom con-

To counteract British claims in Antarctica
the United States win likely declare priority dis
covery There is the claim of Capt Palmer, q
whaler from New London, Conn., who attached,
with his eyes for the United States, Graham
Land south OF TERRA del Fuego. That was in
1891, 10 years before the great voyage of Ross,

named and who, in addition to making this
discovery, discovered also Victoria Land, several
islands and an active volcano.

secured about 500 gallons to supply the ship.
The men were very much excited and all Sc

~ partment of State these days. And it is
not in Nicaragua, Old Mexico or at
Geneva that interests in its "doings"
have been aroused. But in a far more remote
corner of the globe, the last spot on earth
where reprecuSSionS from airplane activities
might be expected to be generated.
Who owns Antarctica? That is the big ques-
ton that is agitating the heads of the Depart
ment of State And the question arose out OF
an airplane fiight-one by Comdr. Byrd of the
Byrd Antarctic expedition
Byrd on flight from his base, Little Anneri-
ca on the Bay of Whales, to the north and east
and south of that spot, sighted and mapped
land in Antarctica that hitherto had not been
known to exist or, If known, hardly more than
conjectured. He claimed it In the name of the
United States and named it after his wife
Marie Byrd Land. Some time before thiS-sev-
eral months, in fact-the British government
fled with the State Department communica-
ton granting permission to Comdr. Byrd to use
territory claimed by it in Antarctica, setting
forth that it had sovereignty over certain lands
there.
A HARMLESS enough little note TO which the
State Department paid no great amount
of attention. And then the Byrd flight bringing
to the fore the question of title TO 10000 square
miles of territory-not of great value apparent
w. But what If those mountains and the land
should hold untold mineral wealth. oil, gold
ETC.? OF great value then. For things are not as
they once were as regards that Dit OF ultima
thule. That is evidenced by the Byrd expedi-
ton. Previous to the advent of the airplane the
Antarctic continent lay silent and alone, its
face yelled and screened from the prying eyes
of the world beneath mask of impenetrable
snow and ice and roaring winds. Only the most
rneager reports of its character have been
brought back to the world by the intrepid ex-
plorers. Wilkes, Ross, Shackleton, Palmer,
Amundsen and those who followed the bravest

of base on this faraway continent for two
years for the purpose Of exploring its confines

remote and hitherto inaccessible portion of the
globe.
British claims in Antarctica, if allowed would
affect practically all future exploration work
there The claims follow a proclamation made
by the British Imperial Conference in 1926. pro-
mulgated at the instance of Australia. It was

Judge Chase spent much Of his early life in
Washington, having moved here in 1925, and
opened classical school for boys directly after
being graduated from Dartmouth University.
It was here that he studied law and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1880. later going to Gin
cinnat, where he made his mark IN the legal
profession. Chase was one Of the great men of
his day and did much during the Civil War
toward preserving the Union.

Chief Justice died in this city on March %,

WILLIAMS DISPELS
ALL DOUBT OF ABILITY

BY the Associated Press.
There was distinct disposition on the
part Of many American observers last
year to regard Percy williams the
Olympic sprint champion, as Lucky"
in spite of the brilliant manner in
which the slim Canadian greyhound
raced the worlds best sprinters into
the ground at Amsterdam.
Much of this was due to a natural
feeling Of disappointment over the
showing of the Americans in the
Olympics. plus the feeling that Wykof,
Russell. Bracey and the other young
stars were not In the best Of condition
over there after sensational per-
formances at home. II was pointed out
that Williams never had such remark
able times as did Wykoff In the final
Olympic trials at Boston.
Whatever doubt, however, may have
fingered about the class of Williams,
after his fine indoor performances in
New York and elsewhere last Winter,
was entirely dissipated when the Can
adian outran Wykoff. Bracey and Eddie
Tolan. the new national champion. At
Vancouver last Friday and Saturday.
It was unfortunate that George Simp-
son of 925 fame. could not also match
strides with williams. but for the time
there is no question of the Canadians
claim to the title of world champion.
