AHTAnCTIC DASH BY TIIEJ MAIIS Lieut. Filchner, Leader of Expedition, Has Issued His Statement
WOULD FIND A CONTINENT
REMARKABLE CASE IN STOCK
HOLM WHERE A MAN SEEKS TO
RECOVER HIS SKELETON, WHICH HE WILLED AWAY. (American News Service)
Berlin, April 25. Arrangement are rapidly being completed for the German Antarctic expedition, and Lieu
tenant Fllchner who Is to head the
party, has Issued a statement on the proposed trip. ' r -
ne Buys; .
Into the Antarctic received a powerful stimulus from the fact that both Sir
Ernest 8hackIeton and Dr. Penck, f resident of the society. Independent ly of each other, have recommended
the Weddell Sea as the best point of departure. As a matter of fact, In the
present state of our knowledge regarding 'the extreme south Weddell's old Idea that open sea extends below 75 degrees south appears thoroughly
worth of acceptance. It this be so. It would presumably be possible to reach high latitudes by sea in a vessel designed for Arctic conditions, and thus
to obtain a base very close to the pole for the southward, dash, perhaps
even for a dash clear across the con tlnent." To Solve a Problem.
In an appreciation of Lieutenant
Fllchner's plan Dr. Penck points out that the result of . the Antarctic expe
ditions., of , recent years has been to mass a vast number of proofs for the
existence of a southern polar contln
ent. Lieutenant Fllchner places in the
foreground the problem of cleaning, up
the relations between Bast and West
Antarctica. Are they, united or separated? Both cases are conceivable.
The suggestion that . Lieutenant Fllchner was proachlng on the Antarctic preserves of the American and Scott expeditions has been allowed to
cd a courteous letter from Dr. Bruce showing that among British explorers and scientists the advent of the new candidate for Antarctic honors is treated in a friendly spirit and that the suggestion that Lieutenant Fllch
ner Is an intruder in the Southern polar field Is not regarded .seriously by them. .. : -j U i 'Q '. , ; . r ,; f ; i, i $ s : ft t. 4. ;... ? " A Remarkable Case. A remarkable case Is reported from
Stockholm, where a wealthy resident has been endeavoring to recover the
ownership of his skeleton.
Twenty years ago Albert Vystroem
signed a contract with - the Royal
Swedish Institute of Anatomy making over his body after his death to the Institution in return for a sum of money. Since then he has come Into Kssession of a large fortune, and Is anxious to cancel his contract with
the Institute.
The matter was brought before the
law courts, but not only was the case decided against him, but he was even
ordered to pay damages to the institute for having extracted two teeth
without its authorisation, in contra
vention of his contract.

Everybody Is
Talking About It
And Every One is Greatly
rieaseo ivnn lu A well known traveling man said "I never heard so much talk about i
medicine in all my life as I am hearing all over the country about Root Juice. When I was in Lafayette, Ind., the Hogan Drug people had their windows
full of It, and said they never sold
medicine so fast or one which gave as ' much general satisfaction - as Root
Juice. They said Mrs. Frank Kent, a sister of ex-Governor Hanly. used
the medicine some time ago, and it did her so much good that she allowed her
name published in her home paper for
the benefit of others who. suffered as
she did."
J. W. O'Harrow, ot Bioominston.
Ind., one of the most popular druggists of the southern part ot the state, said: '1 have sold thousands of hotti
of Root Juice within the last two years
and I never sold anything that sold a fast, or did as much general good.
Root Juice seems to cure everyone
who takes It for any kind of a stomach
trouble. It is a wonder in rheumatic and kidney affections or nervous
weakness. Those who are losing
flesh and have a poor appetite, should
take Root Juice, as It is the greatest
tonic nerve feeder and muscle builder
in the world."

told, regarding the great Medicine and the remarkable good It is doing all over

Twain Placed at Side of Wife; Latest Photograph of Humorist
re
I
Elmira, N. Y., April 25. Under a;
tent on the grassy slope of the Langdon plot in Woodlawn cemetery, with a rain beating, fiercely against the
canvas cover, a little group of mourn-; era silently watched Sunday as the
body of Samuel L. Clemens was lowered into an evergreen-lined grave beside the bodies of his wile and child
ren. , ' . I
The Rev. Samuel E. . Eastman, pas
tor of Park church and a close friend
of the late humorist, conducted a brief and simple service, and Mark Twain's
final pilgrimage was at an end. To-,
day he lies sleeping under; a grave piled high with flowers; the tributes
of friends from far and near.
There were present at the grave only members of the family party who came from New York with the body, a former governess of the Clemens family, two of her friends, the sexton and half a dozen newspaper men. 'Services had previously , been held at the hesidence of Gen. Charles Langdon, where . forty years ago . Mark Twain married the general's sister. In keeping with Mr. Clemens's wish, the ceremony was simple. There was no music, no honorary pallbearers Just the brief address and prayer of Dr. Eastman.
The body lay in state in the very parlor where the marriage of forty
years ago was held, and some of those who attended the wedding were there today to look for the last time, upon
the face of their friend. . Death Calls Mourner Home.
Neither the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher nor the Rev. Joseph Twitchell, who performed the wedding ceremony, was present, however. Mr. Beecher died several years ago and Mr. Twitchell was called to Hartford by the serious
illness of his wife, who died this morn ing. Among the floral gifts was a beauti ful wreath bearing this inscription:
"From 500 boys of the Louisville
Male High School. In remembrance
of Mr. Clemens, who has brightened their lives with innocent laughter and taught them squareness and grit and compassion for the weak charge." The services at the house were public. Dr. Eastman said in part: . "We are not here at this time to speak of the great man whose going hence the whole world mourns, nor to claim for him that place in the 'halls of fame which time only can give him. We are here to weep with those that weep, to give thanks with those who own he was in the sacred bonds of human kinship and family affection."
of the week will be at the White House where, on Thursday, the president will
receive his Imperial Highness, Prince
Tsal Tao, brother of the infant empe
ror of China, who will come to Washington with his distinguished suite of
23 Chinese of high degree, composing a delegation to study the military systems of the world.
The distinguished visitors are to be
the guests of this government, and will be entertained elaborately at the White House and by Secretary of State Knox and otherwise will be made to feel the kindly disposition of the administration toward the Chines Empire.-.
At Local Theaters
The Third Degree. Lawrence Eddinger, wbo plays one
of the leading parts in "The Third Degree," which is announced to appear
here Tuesday, made his first appearance on the stage at the same time Ada Rehan did and in the same com
pany. Since then he has filled a great
many parts. One summer when a member of the famous All Star Stock Players, he interpreted twenty-seven leading parts ; in twenty-seven weeks, receiving excellent criticisms on each individual one.
Henry B. Harris, who produced The Lion and the Mouse" and many
other noted successes, including "The
Third Degree, bears the distinction i
of being the one manager that will
not send a failure on the road. "The Third Degree," "The Lion and the 1
Mouse," "The Traveling Salesman" and "The Chorus Lady" are among his most pronounced successes.
Goddess of Liberty. Whenever anything new comes
along there is always a rush for it and when it is obtained, it is taken up by some enterprising theatrical management and staged. Nothing seems to
have ever been excepted from the rule and one of the latest -innovations of the stage is the introduction of a taxicab, that accommodating form of the automobile which is all the rage in
Chicago and New York, and which is used with great success in "The Goddess of Liberty," which Mr. Mort H. Singer will offer at the Gennett theater tonight. . The taxicab is introduced in "The Goddess of Liberty" with many capti
vating surroundings. Miss Olive Artell, the pretty grrl who is one of . the taxi's occupants, . is one of the captivating surroundings. The song, "Taxi, Taxi," is another. It is tuneful, whlstly and never fails to make one of the big hits of the production. The stage is darkened for the entrance of the taxi and only the enchanting green lights are in evidence, as the song progresses, lending a pretty and romantic touch to the scene. The taxicab is a splendid speciman of the automobile maker's art and is not a flimsy imitation, used only for stage purposes. Richmond Stock Co. Richmond's own stock company has
made war tonight for The Goddess of Liberty' and, will open their week on Wednesday evening when they present the Leffingwell version of St. Elmo. This adaptation has been considered by many to be superior In many ways to any other ever seen on the stage, and its production by this company will be awaited with interest. The Chantecleer Novelty. The pantomime acrobats, the Lafayette Lamont Troupe will make their first appearance tonight at the Murray, a headliner which is always a hit because it appeals to so many and in so many ways. The refined singers and novelty character change artists, the Cubanola Trio, have been very popular in all their engagements this season and as this is so different from anything ever put on in the Murray great things are in store for the patrons of the popular playhouse. Lillian LeRoy and Co., in "Futurity Day" and Lola Radcliffe character comedienne and to all this add the motion pictures and the big bill arranged for this week at the Murray is fully appreciated.

THEIR LOVE FROSTY
Texas Republicans Withdraw Their Presidential Boom for Teddy.
ACT ON NEGRO QUESTION
San Antonio. Texas, April 25. The
Republican Association of Texas has
within the last few days hit a differ
ent tack and Theodore Roosevelt.
vhose re-election to the presidency
was ardently espoused by it, is no longer their political Idol. A resolution indorsing the Colonel for the white house for another term was refused passage by an overwhelming majority and now the infant boom has been stifled. The same resolution called upon Cecil Lyon to surrender all but one ot the numerous offices held by him in the Texas republican party. But this feature also came to grief and now Lyon may be said to have a better grip on republican affairs In Texas than he ever 'had before. At the same meeting the negro republicans received a bad jolt. Though not "lllly-white" the Texas Republican association will insist hereafter that the negroes In the state form their own republican clubs, whose beads are to be permitted to participate in the conclaves of the party. Outside of this, physical contact, as it were, will not be tolerated.

Senate and House in a Contest
Which Will Be the First to Pass the Taft Legislation? Aidrich Tries to Put One Over on Cummins.
Washington, . April . 25. The "Marathon" between the senate and the house for the distinction of being the first to pass president Taft's railroad legislation is attracting unusual interest. Both branches of congress had hoped to reach the vote before the close of the coming week, but the senate seems to haye encountered several obstacles, and from present Indications It will be 10 days probably before the measure is sent to conference. Representative Mann, . who has charge of the bill In the house, succeeded In getting an order for the consideration of the bill for amendments under the five-minute rule. Unless he strikes unexpected opposition it Is likely he can bring the measure to a final vote by Thursday or Friday. 1 On the senate side exasperating delays have been provoked by the desire ot members to go to the afternoon baseball games. 8enator Elklns said he could have put through several Important provisions ' during the past week If It had not been for the absence of so many of his colleagues. , Did Not Exaggerate. As a matter of fact, Mr. Eliflns did not exaggerate the situation, although he was speaking Jocularly. Friday and Saturday adjournments were necessitated by the absence of a quorum, and for "the same reason earlier sessions could not be ordered. Supporters of .the bill had planned to get a Tote Saturday on Section 7 of the biU which relates to the subject of traffic agreements. This section has been debated at great length and the end ot the struggle is not in sight. Saturday afternoon Senator Elklns reported that he had sufficient votes to defeat the Cummins substitute for the Elklns-Crawford provision, which the senators In charge of the hill want adopted. Then let's get a rote." urged Senator Aldricb. "It wouldn't be safe this afternoon. said Mr. Elklns. "Too many senators are attending the ball game." That would affect both sides, wouldn't It?" persisted Mr. Aldrich. ; "I don't know about that.' replied
Mr. Elklns. "It seems to be our fellows who are away." "Sunny Jim" Knows. "Do the base ball games keep on all summer?" . asked . Mr. Aldrich in a grieved tone. Plainly he did not know. Vice President Sherman or Senator Crane could have answered, but both of them were at the game. So a newspaper man had to tell him : "Twenty-two out of the next 29 American League games will be played in 'Washington." "Humph r Mr., Aldrich condensed a world of meaning in this comment. ; Noses then were counted. . , Mr. Elkins made no attempt to get a vote. After the railroad bill Is out of the way the house expects to begin work on the postal savings bank measure, although it may require a caucus of the house republicans to get the bill out of committee. The senate bill does not meet the general approval of the house, and the contest over it will be spirited. Hearings will be had on the Moon bill for the regulation of injunctions, and naturally this measure will follow next in the house. Statehood legislation probably will be the last of all of the administration policies to be considered. Royalty Is Approaching. Out of congress the notable occasion
