Congress Wondering What
Path Roosevelt Will Take
Leaves Representatives Gu essing to What Means He
Will Employ To Force LIBERAL Interpretation of
Constitution by the u. S. Supreme Court

Washington, Jan. 7.-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had Congress guessing
today about his outspokenness toward
the courts and plans for wage and
hour legislation.
Awaiting definite indication how far
he would go, party ranks threatened
to split into factions as the alterna-
tives became palmer.
Both houses were in recess, but that
ments to private quarters.

The legislators speculated whether
Mr.. Roosevelt had specific course
in mind to assure a liberal inter
probation" of the Constitution by the
Supreme Court.
They had noted the cryptic way in
which he told Congress yesterday
means must be found" to adapt the
judicial viewpoint to the actual pres
ent national needs
The discussions were subordinated
to neutrality for brief time.

Quaint Wording, Carving
on Scottish Tombstones

Students of history and those in
terested in ancient habits of life
find much in the celebrated handi-
craft work on Scottish tombstones.
Throughout the kirkyards of Scot
fish border towns there are innumer-
able tombstones whose quaintness
of word or conceit of carving rend-
ers them of absorbing interest to
visitors, says j. w. 0. Won Herbulis,
American director of the Anchor
Line, who tells how one need not be
morbid to visualize the march of
time" depicted on Scottish sculp-
tural images.
In the church yard at Ashkirk
is the remarkable sculpture work
of early craftsmen when the dawn
of true Scot dialect was at it's prime.
Here one finds the first tendency
of the reversed MS and the use of
w for U with William Theoretically
spelled as Wileam. Stonemasons,
dykers and sometimes friends of
the departed, whose only qualifica-
ton for the job would appear to
have been their zeal, produced
many of the curiosities seen in West
erkirk churchyard, which includes
the classic stone hawed and carved
by Thomas Telford, the great en-
gineer, in memory of his father.
Among the decorative stones are
the Book of Life" monuments seen
at Dryburgh. Here we see the idea
adapted to show that the departed
studiously pursues a life of knowl-
edge in the hereafter. In the same
kirkyard, which resembles many to
be found in Northern Scotland, are
the monuments of skulls and cross
bones and the hourglass which later
was substituted for cherubs and
angels.

Thorley Christensen, comprised
the personnel of the party.
On August Is this little group
of white men and two Eskimos
stood on the shore of ice-locked
Lady Franklin bay and watched
a little steamer push its way
cautiously through a lead"
dark streak of open water which
ran irregularly across the sur
face of the frozen sea. The steam
er was the "Proteus" which had
been held in the ice there for
six days while Captain Pike wait
ed in vain for a chance to cleave
a path through the ice so that
he could start south towards CIV
ilization.
The departure of the "PrO-
teus" marked the beginning of
what has been aptly called zone
of the supreme adventure stO-
rieS of the world" story of
almost unbelievable human grit
and endurance which forms
one of the brightest pages in
the annals of the American
army. For two years this party
was as much lost from con-
tact with their fellow men as
if they had been on another
planet, and when finally the
third attempt to rescue Greedy
succeeded, of the original twen-
ty-five there were just seven left
alive and one of these died
within twenty-four hours. The
other eighteen had persisted of
starvation or accident after a
series of adventures marked by
incredible suffering and incred-
IDLE heroism.
The official records of the
Greedy expedition were made
public soon after Commander w

had brought its survivors back
to the United States on the 1.-The
It's" but 1t was not until nearly
half a century later that the
heroic human side of the story
became known. For more than
forty-five years the diary of Ser
geant Brainard, one of the seven
survivors, lay unused in an old
trunk. About ten years ago it
was brought to light and pub
lished by the Bobbs-Merrill COM
pany under the title of ''The Out
post of the Lost
At that time there were but
two survivors of the expedition
its commander, Greedy, then a
major-general, retired, and the
man who had served as SER
geant under him, Brainard,
retired brigadier-general. So it
was especially appropriate that

An Old Arctic Hero Receives New Honor
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

d ECENTLY new honor
IN was paid to the nations
Oldest living polar explorer by
his acknowledgements into the
Arctic and Antarctic wilder
nesses, most of whom were still
unborn when he made his first
bid for fame more than half
century ago. He is Brig. Gen.
David L. Brainard, u. S. A,
retired, the last survivor of
Gen. A. w. Greely's Lady
Franklin Bay Arctic expedi-
ton of 1884. On his eight
.ieth birthday the American
Polar society, of which he is the
oldest active member, elect
ed him its first honorary men,
Der gin recognition of his con-
tribution to polar exploration"
and presented him with a scroll
in commemoration of his
achievement.
On this scroll was inscribed
a map showing the route taken
by Lieut.. James B. Lockwood
and Brainard, then a sergeant
in the army, which enabled
them on May Is, 1882, to reach
the then farthest point north,
latitude So degrees, "a minutes
and so seconds, on the north
ern coast of Greenland. This
surpassed the record which
British explorers had held for
us years and their record
stood for Is years when it was
surpassed by Nansen in the
Arctic sea in the Eastern hem
isphere.
General Brainard, who has the
additional distinction of being
one of the few living retired gen.
erals to have risen from the hum

turn the next year, if possible,
to carry the expedition away.
But if that were not possible
another relief expedition would
be sent for them in August, 1883.
In case it should fail, Greely's
orders were to leave Fort Con-
ger not later than September l,
1883 and retreat southwark by
boat until the relieving vessel
is met or Little island is
reached" or until a sledge party
from the Little island base was
met.
Relief Ship Fails.
AS a matter of fact the "Pro-
teus" failed to reach them in
August, 1882. But, says Brain
ards book, "The first year had
not passed disagreeably, and it
is doubtful if anyone regretted
the experience, future uncertain
ty thrown into the bargain. The
entire party had had the distinc-
ton of spending winter farther
north than any Arctic explorers
had ever wintered, with the ex-
ception of an English outfit that
had wintered on shipboard. More
over two of their number had
set new Farthest North record
in the centuries-old race to the
pole.
THAT first winter there was
weather in which Medford rum
froze solid and the kerosene oil
had to be thawed out before the
lamps could be lighted. At
first there had been plenty to do,
and the work was intelligently
organized by the commanding Of
ficer and tackled with zeal by
the men. But in few weeks
cold and darkness put an end to
practically all outside work ex-
cept the instrument tending near
the station. The monotony of the
Arctic night produces strange eff
fects on white men. They become
melancholy, sleepless and very
irritable. Every diversion
twenty-five minds could think of
was tried out and dropped.
Checkers are all the rage now"
wrote Sergeant Brainard, the
faithful diarist. "But nothing
lasts like long, loud arguments"
However, "the second winter
was harder to bear than the
first" and on June II, 1883,
Sergeant Brainard wrote that
although cit is a few weeks too
early for relief ship, we can
not keep our eyes from wander
ing hopefully to the SOUTH" But
again they were disappointed
and they began their tragic re-
treat.
On August 9, 1888, they set out
in small boats through a lead"

bic rank of "buck private" now
lives quietly in Washington af-
ter AZ years service in the army,
the first ten of which he served
in the ranks. He was born in
Norway, N. Y, on December 81,
1856 and when he was nineteen
years of age enlisted in the Sec
ond United States cavalry. His
first fighting experience was
against the Indians on the Great
Plains of the West and during
an engagement with the Sioux
on May 7, 1877 at Little Muddy
creek in Montana he was serious
ly wounded. This was the battle
in which Gen. Nelson A. Miles
narrowly escaped death at the
hands of the Sioux chieftain,
Lame Deer. Later in that year
Brainard was serving under
Miles when that famous Indian
fighter corralled Chief Joseph
and his fleeing Nez Perces in
the Bear Paw mountains and
forced their surrender. In 1873
he served In the campaign against
the Bannock Indians and after
eight years with the cavalry
transferred to the signal corps.
This change led to his assign
ment as first sergeant in the
polar expedition sent out by the
United States army as the re-
suit of an international confer
ence at Hamburg, Germany, in
1879 and at Berne, Switzerland,
in 1880. The United States joined
with Great Britain, Norway,
Sweden, the Netherlands, Russia,
Germany, Denmark, and Austria
in establishing ring of widely
separated outposts, all within the
Arctic Circle, to record a COM
plete series of meteorological
and magnetic observations stimuli
taneously.
Departure of the "Proteus"
In August, 1881, the expedition
set up its base, Fort Conger, on
Lady Franklin bay, 1000 miles
north of the Arctic Circle and
$50 miles north of the last Eski-
mo settlement. 1t was command
ed by First Lieut.. Adolphus w.

of the Twenty-third infantry as
seconds in command. These with

Money
for Relief

billion new money
appropriated for his relief work.
President Roosevelt previously had
said he would ask congress for only
half billion. 1t is difficult to rec
oncile these two statements or the
reasons therefor. Some slipshod
thing has taken place or else Mr..
Hopkins again is indulging in his
favorite sport of spending and vast
ing taxpayers money.
Now, the figures reveal that re-
lief operations, as managed by Mr..
Hopkins, are costing about $685.
000,00 a month. If Mr.. Roosevelt
intends to use only $500, 900, 900 for
relief, curtailment in sharp fashion
must take place. If no such cur
tailment is intended, even the Hop
kins figure is too small.
Thus, we are brought face to face
again with a question: What is to
be the policy? I hear more and
more discussion as congress gets
under way that some definite state
ment ought to be made, some COM
mitment given, so that the nation
would know what it is proposed to do
with all of this money and how
much of it is to be used.
incidentally, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
Gently spoke rather CURLY to some
of his departmental heads about
their printing bills. He thought they
were too large and that money
should be saved in that direction.
Now, it happens governmental
printing bills amount to no more
than a drop in the bucket when COM
pared to the waste that goes on in
the enormous relief set-up of which
Mr.. Hopkins is the head. It has
been shown too many times to need
elaboration here.
Since Mr.. Roosevelt has taken
note of the departmental printing
bills, however, I would like to make
the suggestion that there is no valid
reason any longer for excluding re-
lief appropriations from the regu-
lar estimates of expenditures as in
cluded in the annual budget. Like
many other items, the relief totals
may have to be revised later, but
that does not excuse the rather care
less practices that have grown up
in the calculation of relief expendi-
lures. 1t does not exclude the ne
cessity for real protection against
needless spending nor does it pre-
vent the formulation of intelligent
policies.
Individually, I do not quite under
stand why the administration should
fuss about a few millions of print
ing bills and toss out half billion
or three-quarters of billion, as the
case may be, with reckless abandon
