US DISCOVERER NORWEGIAN EXPLORER CABLES

THAT HE FOUND POLE ON DEC. 14.

SCOTT STORY A MISTAKE

Remained Three Days To Secure Proof* —WUJ Return Horr.e Through

t*e Northwest i Passage.

CS.r:Et:s.r.:£.. March 8. — Csptaic Slo&ld Amundsen, the Norwegian ex­plorer, has cabled two local news­papers from Hobart, Tasmania, that be reached the south pole on Dec- M, 1911.

The dispatch is as follows: "Pole reached fourteenth-Sevan-

teentb December." Captain Amundsen sent a second ca-

ble denying having telegraphed that Captain Scott of the British expedition %ad reached the eouth pole or that he had telegraphed anything at all about 6cott.

Menor Goes te Amundsen-The honor for the achievement of

reaching the south pole must now he given to the Norwegian explorer until Lieutenant Scott announces the results of his expedition.

Captain Amundsen has. for many years, been considered one of the most daring and competent of explorers. A Bailor from youth he started polar re search at the age of 25. when he par­ticipated in the Belgian antarctic expe­dition under command of Gerlache. He was first officer of the vessel, and the voyage lasted from 1897 to 1899. On his r«turn he made up his mind to continue polar research, but this time he decided to go to the north in an endeavor to discover the northwest passage.

Ha prepared himself for the task br undergoing * course of two years' Study in magnetism and meteorology, after which he called for the north from Chrlstiania on board the Gjoa. with a crew of only eight men. June 1«, 1903.

Proceeding to Lancaster sound he galled past Cape Adelaide and King •William land and Rosa strait. The vessel wintered in that part. For many months Amundsen drifted along, and finally, on August 26, met an American whaler to the east of Cape Bathurst. He ultimately brought his Mttle vessel through the Behring strait and thus, for the first time, accom­plished the northwest passage.

During the voyage be determined ex­actly the position of the magnetic pole. Altogether he was three years •way from Norway.

The Fram, which Captain Amundsen •elected for his latest expedition, has been used for many years in arctic explorations. From 1893 1o 1896, dur­ing' the expedition of Dr. Fridjof Naneen, she covered a journey of about 7,000 miles in the Arctic ocean. 3,000 miles of this being accomplished while she was frozen solid in the ice. 6he was not damaged at all during this T'oyage.

Telegrams of congratulations in the name of King Haakon of the Nor­wegian government and of the Geo-graphical society here were forwarded to Captain Amundsen at Hobart. His majesty has consented to the use of his name and that of Queen Maud on the maps of the newly discovered ter­ritory in the Antarctic. This city la gayly decorated with flags and bunting tn honor of Captain Amundsen's ac­complishment.

Amundsen Makes Denial. Hobart.—Captain Roald Amundsen

the Norwegian explorer, denies having telegraphed anything regarding Cap­tain Robert Scott or the British expe dition.

Captain Amundsen, up to the pres­ent, Is the only member of the ant-•rtic expedition who has landed from the Fram. Nobody is allowed to go on board the vessel under any pretext whatever. The explorer says he is .pleased with the results of his expe­dition bufc otherwise maintains abso­lute lilenie on the subject.

Captain Amundsen intends to stay • at Hobart for a few days. He will

then go to Atretralia and give a few lectures there, afterward departing for Europe by the circuitous route of Buenos Aires, then around Cape Horn up to Bering Straits, and through the Northwest passage and the Arctic ocean

Dr. Cook's Conj|rient. New York.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook

heard the news of the discovery of the south pole at his uptown hotel, where he had just, returned from a lecture tour. "It is not only possible that Scott and Amundsen crossed each other, but it is likely that both men

• met at the pole," said Dr. Cook, with a smile. "Captain 8cott. at the very latest, ought to be heard from in tec days."

Doctrine Discuaeed. but No Mention ef Colonel In Toledo

Speech,

Toledo. March 9.—Speaking to an audience that filled to overflowing the coliseum, designed to hold 3,500 per­sons. President Taft declared hie op­position to the recall of judges and to the recall of Judicial decisions.

It was the first set speech of the president's trip to Ohio and Illinois, and Ohio politicians and citizens lis­tened with apparent interest to a speech that had been heralded from Washington as an answer to that which Colonel Roosevelt made in Co lumbup a few weeks ago.

The president made no mention of Colonel Roosevelt nor of his Colutabus speech, but be assailed some of the doctrines there enunciated by his predecessor in the White House.

Practically every person in the au-diem-o carried an American flag, and when the president reached his per­oration against the recall of judicial decisions the flags sprang into action and the crowd cheered with enthusi­asm.

Mr. Tafl'n declaration that the re call of decisions was without merit, reactionary, instead of progressive, revolutionary and unstable, met with almost instant approval. He was compelled to wait for nearly a minute while the audience expressed its pleasure with his views.

Before beginning his set speech Mr. Taft referred briefly to the failure of the ppnate to ratify as introduced the arbitration treaties with Great Bri­tain and France. His reference to the horrors of war called forth almost as much enthusiasm aB did his more po­litical utterances about the judges.

On the way north from Pittsburg to Toledo the president made more than n dozen speeches from his private car.

Leaving Toledo late the president is due in Chicago early today for a two-days' stay.

A FAIR OFFER

Your Monev Back if You're Not Satisfied.

No Increase of Rates for the Wood­men ftf the World

The present monthly assessment rates of the Sovereign Camp, Wood men of the World, were established September 1, 1901. At that date they were considerably higher than many other societies. These rates have pro' duced a handsome increase in excess'of current death and monument claims, which is placed in our Emergency Fund now aggregating over $13,650,000.00, earning semi-annual interest of over 4i per cent per annum. During the past two or three years there was ad­ded each year about or over $2,000,000.-00 to this fund. It is not assumed that an attempt is being made to accumu­late a '-'legal reserve," such as is re­quired of old line insurance companies. Our Emergency Fnnd is merely a de­pository of over payments for current protection; lapsed members leaving their excess 'contributions to benefit persistent members and thus the so­ciety is not Seriously the loser by nor­mal lapsation. If the death losses dur ing twelve months should exceed the proceeds of twelve monthly assess­ments during a calendar year the ex­cess death claims are to be paid frotn the Emergency Fund —a contingency thus far not realized since this plan was evolved. The contributions and interest accumulation to this fund in excess of death claims during 1912 we may conservatively estimate will reach $2,500,00.00, therefore, there appears to be no lucid reason for considering any change of monthly rates.

Of course, it is understood that the W. O. W. rates are not strictly on an even thousand dollars, but cover one hundred dollars excess benefits to every member for a monument. A $3000 certificate includes a $100 monument the same as a $1001) certificate. So it is unfair to assume that, our monthly rate is for $1,100 instead of $1000. It is a singular fact, that our savings on our accumulative certificate produces an amount sufficient to pay for all our monuments; a condition that is likely to exist, as long as the present acces­sion of new members continues.

The Mobile bill adopted by several states calls for a valuation in 1913. The W. O. W. never has had an accu­rate valuation made. A pretended valuation by a South Carolina Clerk, which he stated was not to be made public, and which several most promi­nent and competent actuaries declare is not correct, but based upon wrong assumptions and insufficient data and does a grave injustice, is being dis­seminated by old line agents and ma­lignant fraternal deputies. We do not believe in a legal reserve requirement of fraternal orders. The Mobile bill does not require it and if exacted and complied with it would destroy the fraternal system, which is intended to provide fraternal life insurance at its actual cost, which is now safe-guarded by state laws and divorccs it from old line exactions and dividend producing revenue. Fraternals do not need bil­lions of dollars to meet improbable con­tingencies and to be juggled by the frenzied financiers of Wall street.

Valuation for information of the membership is adoption of the custom, time-honored in England, but as a measure of solvency and so-called "legal reserve" requirements it is not consistent with the fraternal system. If valuation sliowj* that extra assess­ments may be.required or re-adjusted rates the members have a right to know it. and Visitor is confident, based on a careful estimate made by Actuary Barth that such contingency cannot be shown by a tair valuation of the W. O. W. based upon its. twenty years' ex. pericncc.

Therefore, it is safe to say most positively that, no rc-adjustinent of as­sessment rates is being considered or anticipated.-- Sovereign Visitor. (Of­ficial Paper of the Woodmen of the World )
