March 2s.-The auctioning of a noun
tain top to group of 50 citizens has
settled for a time a long controversy
over possession Of the famous Puy De
Dome.
The idea was to retain the highest
point of land in this rugged country
as an attraction for tourists, but there
were at stake also ancient tradition and
local pride.

many years ago possession OF the peak,
100 acres in area and nearly 5000 feet
high, passed to q group Of 80 peasant
landowners who bought the right to

the picturesquely worded document each

purchase price, had the right to have

uuired a sale. The whole department
and much of France became exercised
over the supposed plan to erect tourist
hotels there and charge admission to
the ground which for centuries has
been a sort of public playground.
Lawyers working in the interest OF
the public discovered a flaw in the sale
to the street car company at public
auction and another sale was ordered.
The department itself put in bid and
the citizens group another one, while
the auctioneer, according to quaint
French customs, lighted three small
candles.
When the third flame died down the
last bidder became the buyer, CORE

The Puy de Dome. overlooking the
entire volcanic range of the region,
therefore, remains open to the world
of the curious traveller. It was q
sightseeing spot even in the days Of
the Romans, who left there a temple
to Mercury, now in ruins.

nearly TOO miles out Of Dunedin, home

Fair winds and q quiet sea have
pleasant routine of ship life, and while
we look forward to the end of our two
year voyage, we still feel a tinge Of
regret on leaving New Zealand's hos
pitable shores.
When the misty green hills Of Otago
faded from view Sunday evening, o
far-away look was in many an eye, and
few words were spoken. Our two-week
sojourn among these people has be-
come one of the most pleasant memories
Of the entire expedition. S
Some Of lIs have spent many uaonths
there and enjoyed uniformly generous
But those Of us who were affiicted with
our own little company throughout a
long Antarctic Winter have marveled
at the sympathetic forbearance and I'M
derstanding of our late hosts.
We appreciated the reception and
the entertainments and the speeches
but we wanted, above all, the quiet OF
green, wooded hills, the fragrance OF
fresh earth, the kindly warmth Of old
lichened rocks In the sun.
Two days after our arrival from the
South we were scattered to the four
quarters of New Zealand, form the Bay
Of Plenty In the North Island to the
nectaring orchards Of Otago In the

Now, as with bellying canvas we
cleave the smiling seas, on the TO-

snack in the galley, small groups re-
tell the marvels Of their late thrills.

FARMER FACES CHARGE
OF DRINKING AFTER CRASH
Police Assert He Is Unable to Tell
Story Of Accident on APP
pearance in Court.

Because he apparently took a "bracer"
today before telling the corporation
counseIs ONCE at Police Court how an
other motorist ran into his truck as he
was passing the Court House, William
M. Dean, a farmer, Of Marlboro, Nd,
was locked up on a charge Of being
drunk and faces possible reckless driv-
ing charges, as he was unable TO tell
q reasonable story at the hearing.
Policeman Thomas Heide OF the
twelfth precinct said that Dean par
ticipated in a collision in front Of Po-
lice Court this morning, in which he
appeared the innocent party. Never
thelesS the other motoriSt insisted on a
hearing so Dean was told to park his
vehicle and appear in the court building
within 20 minutes. At the time, Heide
said, Dean was "cold sober"
A few minutes later, the farmer
showed up at the corporation counsers
office in a different condition. The
motorist who played the other part in
the collision told a very straight story,
but Dean, with the police on his side,
was only able to shout incoherently
when questioned.
Police Clerk Waller ordered the hear
ing postponed until tomorrow and asked
Policeman Heide to escort the farmer
TO the sixth precinct.

they reached the middle Of the bank
ing room.
At about the center Of the room one
of the newcomers stepped suddenly
away from the other four and jumped
on the marble counter in front Of the
cage Of w. F. Knepper, the cashier.
From the counter he leaped over the
brass grill and landed on ledger on
which one of the bank employees had
been working.
As he turned around there was a AS
automatic pistol in his hand. It covered
Knepper and Sol Hameter, another bank
worker. Meanwhile, the other four
bandits had advanced farther toward
the rear Of the banking room. One Of
them jumped on the counter and was
going over the grill when SimmS, who
had been looking on from the rear,
realized what was going on.
Waterman Uses Blackjack.
He whipped the blackjack from rear
pocket and rushing forward struck at the
man who was going over the grill.
Other bank employees said Simms al
most brought him down. The fellow
dropped back to the floor and as the
watchman ducked around corner into
the vault room, where the alarm was
located. the bandit let go with his
sawed-on shotgun.
Simms continued on his way to the
alarm button under Q desk ledge and
pressed it. simultaneously gong rang
on the outside of the building and at
police headquarters. A squad of de-
tectives Jumped into police car and
raced to the bank building.
Miss Irene Litzlow and Miss Ethel
McCrady, a Salvation Army worker on
the corner, saw the five hold-up men
come out of the bank and get into the
brown car. Another woman ran into
Eutaw and Fayette streets and told
traff1c policeman what she had seen.
When he reached the bank Miss Litz-
low and Miss McCrady gave him the
license number Of the car that had just
pulled away.

bank workers with their guns while the
other two got behind the counter and
scooped up the money. Three Of them
stood at the rear Of the room, one COW

Thus far the pink buds have escaped
