Ellsworth and H. Hollick-Kenyon are
alive and well at Little America was
the heart quickening message flashed
from the wireless of the r. r. S.
Discovery II, to the Wyatt carp today.
That both men are alive and well
ut Little America, having completed
the oft attempted trans-Antarctic
Journey is a record that stands su-
preme in modern polar exploration.
Ellsworth has achieved his lifelong
ambition, his flight is q magnificent
contribution to Antarctic discovery. He
Is now the only man who has made
both trans-Antarctic and trans-Arctic
journeys. Details of his discoveries
may not be available until Ellsworth
has had time to check his notes.
Walter LAM, the radio operator on
board the Wyatt carp is standing by,
expecting that any minute through the
courtesy of the Discovery II he will
be able to communicate directly with
Ellsworth.
The wyatt carp is now almost
through the pack ice guarding the
Ross Sea, and should reach Little
America, if all goes well. some time

PLOT INDICTMENTS
ATTACKED BY -FOUR.
Attorneys Question Legality
of Notaries Public on
Grand Jury.

The indictment of four men two
weeks ago as a result of two-year
investigation Of alleged War Depart
ment lobbying was attacked late yes
terday on the ground three notaries
public were members Of the grand
Jury.
A law enacted by the last Congress
legalized the service Of notaries public
and other Government officers and
employees on juries. The pleas filed
yesterday were the first challenge to
the laws validity.
Defendants in the case were former
Brig. Gen. Alexander e. williams, who
was dismissed from the Army; Thomas
Jefferson Ryan, attorney and former
member Of Congress from New York,
and the Silverman brothers. Joseph.
jr.. and Nathan, dealers in surplus
Army goods.

send, they contended service on the
grand jury of the three notaries was
improper. The jurors objected to were
william J. Fitzgerald, 1929 Fifth
street; Sylvio B. Maynard, 1920 New
ton street northeast. and Henry F.
Kimball, 1854 Twenty-eighth street.
The indictment also was attacked on
the ground that stenographer was
in the grand jury room and recorded
testimony during the investigation.
This was claimed to be illegal.
The defendants were charged with
conspiracy to defraud the Federal
Government by keeping a witness,
Frank E. Speicher, from the House
Military Affairs Committee, which
wanted him to testify concerning a
loan made to Gen. Williams. It was
this loan which caused Gen. Williams
court-martial and dismissal from the
