of the I'niled States one occurring
In Washington 1). C. and the other in
dik-kasha. In the former city Wood-
row Wil.-ioii will move into the White
.House amid scenes of excitement and
rejoicing while in t'hlckasha busi-
ness of high importance will be trans-
acted. At a meeting; of the Cnited Charities
yesterday afternoon .March 4 was des-
ignate! as "Hospital Day" and the
occasion is to be celebrated in a man-
ner that will not only make it mem-
orable but will also yield practical re-
sults of i-.reat value. That the day will
be a "memorable" one is assured in-
die lart that practically every resident
of the city Is to be asked to make a
donation tor the budding or the Good
Samaritan Hospital. Whether a man
gives or not. it isn't likely that he will
easily furfjc-t the visit he receives from
some one of the numerous hand ol
workers that w.ll '.. ade every section
of the city.
As explained by one of the ladies
the plan is tu canvass both the resi-
dence mid down town districts giving
every body k chance to (innate. "We
want to raise as lure an amount as
want to raise as large a-i a'tiount as
pOM-ihit" by tins gen-ral Subscription"
said she. "and then rii to thn larger
iincrtsis with tlie expectation of tei-nr-Ing
tin; rt-til. donations of any amount
will t-.o acceptable evt-n if it Is no
more than 10 cents. If we could y.-t
a dollar for every inhabitant of Grady
comity we would have enough to carry
out I be enterprise. We want rverv-
lioily In the city to 'begin savins what-
ever amount .they can and be prepar-
ed to contribute when they are culled
upon."
'I he city is to be divided into 12

Loudon. Feb. 11. While cabinet of-

with each other in paying tributes to
Capt. Robert Scott and his four com-
panions who perished after reaching
the roii'li pole relatives today were
making every' effort to reach Mrs.

the last n:er-age Scott left for t!v j

when the explorer was undergoing the. 1
torture of cold and privation and knew j

. . . . ... 1
j;is statement told ho he and his
little band for over a year had under
tune '.he greatest suffering from cold
and loss of supplies without murmur-
ing. Tlie fate about to overtake the
brave men was not one of faulty or-
ganisation and mismanagement but
was due to unavoidable misfortune.
The statement contained a glowing tri-
bute to the four men who accompanied
htm to the pole anil back to within 11
miles of the depot of supplies when
tiie blizzard overtook them.
News of the death of Cap'.. Robert
V. Scott and bis four bravo compan-
ions who succeeded by a final dash
i m roaenmg t.r.e fcouta polo only to
find proofs that 'Amundsen had pre-
ceded them came in a brief dispatch
trom Lieutenant G. H. Kvans of tne
royal navy who was second in com-
mand w hen the expedition started and j
! who now sisns as "commander" of the
expedition.
The -message was signaled from the
Terra Nova returning from the Ant-
arctic regions while passing Oamaru
New Zealand.
The staggering effects of the news
on the public mind is all the greater
as it was believed that modern science
and recent experience bad completely
divested polar explorations of their
former terrors. No great surprise
would have been I'eit had Capt. Scott
failed to reach the pole but that he
should perish in his hour of triumph
was the very last thing that could be
anticipated and in view of the terrible
dangers which will exist 'm fate of
Captain Scott and his companions is
likely to discourage further attempts
to reach tiie pole now that both have
been attained and the circumstances
of hurried dashes prevent valuable sri-
entific data from being obtained.
Details are r.jt known yet but it. is
believed records of the scientific ma-
terial collet-led together with the ex-
plorer's bodies have been recovered.
If is also understood that gallant
attempts were made by other members
of the expedition to succor the Scott
party but these were defeated by se-
vere weather conditions and lack of
food. It seems practically certain that
the explorers starved to death.

l Washington Feb. 11. The senate
! Monday night pa-id the Webb liquor
I bill already passed by the house as a
j substitutes for the Kenyon-Sheppard
! bill.
The Webb bill would prohibit ship-
ments of intoxicating fjquors from one
state to another when intended to be
received or sold in violation of the law
of the state to which the shipment !s
made.
Friends of the legislation will now
seek to have the house concur in the
senate bill which differs from the bill
passed by the house only in number.
Should te a be done tho bills -would
not be considered in conference but
the measure -passed by the senate will
go to the president for his signature.
The substitution of the Webb bill
for tiie Kenyon-Sheppard bill came at
the close of the prolonged debito and
a bv viva Voce Vote 110 lull tail be-
ing demanded.
The voting was first upon Mip per-
fection of the Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
By a vote of 01 to t:;! the senate agreed
to tlie committee amendment adtlitig a
section to the bill which provided in
terms that intoxicating liquors should
become subject to state laws upon
crossing state boundaries.
Senator Hitchcock's amendment to
except liquor intended for personal use
was defeated without roll call and one

intended for personal and for sacra-

trict attorney biil by Representatives
Kiddle of Grady county was defeated
in the house by a vote of 51 to !:
every Republican voting against it.
"This was the first' great retrenchment
bill to come before the house" said
Dr. Riddle in discussing tlie measure.
"It provided for a district attorney for
each judicial district and for an as-
sistant in each county. This would
have reduced the officeholders from
two for each county to five for each
four counties. The cost of sustaining
the present county attorney system Is
$228000 while the district attorney
system would have reduced it to $LYI-
000 making a saving of $71000 to tho
taxpayers of the state and at the same
time securing stronger men for prose-
cuting attorneys. The greatest ex-
pense to the state is iu pour ponecu-
tion of criminal cases causing them
to come back before the courts every
few months to be tried over."
The "full crew" bill by Ranrall; tK
"railroad hospital" bill by liill of
Pittsburg and the Childers bill to re-
quire railroad stations desistiated by
tiie same name as the local postofi'ieo
are the "railroad" bills passed finally.
The bill by Pruett to make the board
of agriculture elective by the peopl-j
at large was recommitted with instruc-
tions which practically kill its pur-
poses and keeps the old system of
election by delegates selected ut coun-
ty institutes.

The measure originally provided for
the consolidation of the office of city
treasurer with the office of city clerk
but this provision was struck from tun

passed consolidates only the office of
mayor and police judge.
