L SENATE SPEEDS UP. . PASSES 165 BILLS Clerks on Their Toes in Fiood of Legislation That Con- tinues Three Hours. SOME AFFECT DISTRICT Special Police and Deputy Coromer Provided—Anmuities Voted for Ousted Employes. Speed seldom seen in the passage of bills by either house of the national legislature was shown by the Sanate yesterday when it passed 165 bills In about thres hours. The Sehate was moving under an aegreement for the consideration of unobjected bills, many of which had been pending on {he calendar for months, not a few beIng been objected to many times. However, there were but few senators on the floor and the measures were put rapidly through the successive parliamentary stages and passed, keeping the clerks busier than they | had been for months. A number of bills relating particu- larly to the District of Columbla were passed and two affecting retired em- ployes. Ferty-Nine Get Annuity. A number of employes of the Wash- ington navy yard, who wers uncere- moniously discharged following the arms conference agreement for & reduction of naval armaments, will profit by the bill, which already has passed the House, which will permit them to recelve an annuity. Ap- proximately forty-nine discharged employes of the local navy yurd will be_affected. The bill was believed by the legis- lators to be necessary as a matter of simple justice to recognize the serv- ices of employes who had been many vears in the government service, but liad not reached the retirement age at the time of discharge. The meas- ure provides that the retired em- ploye may accept a certificate en- titling him to annuity based on his length of service when he reach the regular retirement age, or he may accept an immediate annuity in lleu of the deferred annuity. Provide Deputy Coremer. Another deputy coroner is provid- a4 for in the bill of Senator Ball, chairman of the Senate District com- mittee, passed yesterday. Increased work of the present coroner and deputy coroner makes necessary the addition of another deputy, according 1o the committee report. Another step toward clearing the for the improvement of the Anacostia river flats was taken when the Senate gave its approval to an agreement entered into between the Secretary of War and the Washing- ton Gas Light Company affecting the nee of lands between the gas com- panv's east plant at 12th and N streets southeast. Senator Ball is the author of this measure, which now goes to the House. A suit to determine the ownership of the land now is pending in_the District of Co- lumbia Supreme Court. Quitelaimed to United States. Tnder the terms of the agreement the land hetween the gas tank and the Anacostia river is_quitclaimed to the United States. The gas com- pany is to be allowed the use of certain portions of the land as lon as it continues thé manufacture o &as at this plant, and also is given the right to construot a dock into the river and to run a rallway from the plant to the dock. The measure also provides for the oclosing of N street. southeast between 12th and 13th streets. The Ball bill regulating the prac- tice of undertaking and m- ing in the District of Columbia also wasy ed. The measure Rad the * support of the organized undertakers and embalmera in the District and the Commissioners, and it provides for the appointment of & board of five undertakers and embalmers to constitute a licensing board, fash- joned somewhat after the medical bos Original licenses will cost $25 and renewals $5. The members of the board are to be paid out of tha license fees. Provides Speeial Pelice. Another bill of which Senator Ball 1s. the aultior, and which was passed, authorized the District Commissioners 1o appoint as special policemén such District ‘efiployes as they may desm necessary f protection of prop- erty of the District of Columbla. It had been ths practice heretofore for the Commissioners to appoint such special officers, as in the case of in- spectors required at times to make ar- rests, but a recent examination of the statutes showed the District heads to be without such authority, and the purpose of the bill passéd yesterday is to correct this situation. The Senate also passed the bill of Senator Sterling amending the retire- ment act by providing for an annual examination of those retired on ac- count of disability. It also provides that should an annuitant be found to have recovered from the disability and in restored to former earning capacity payment of the annuity shall be con- tinued until he has been appointed to some appropriate position, but in no case longer than sixty days following the examination which showed the annuitant to have recovered. SENATE VOTES NEW COIN. Approves 50-Cent Piece to Com- memorate President Hayes’ Birth. Coinage of a 50-cent piéce in com- memoration of the 100th anhiversary of the birth of former dent Rutherford B. Hayes at Delawafe, Ohlo, I8 provided under a bill by Senator Wlllis, republican, Ohio, pass- o4 yesterday by the Senate and sent to the House. —_— FINES RURAL CARRIERS. Authority Given P. M. General to Enforce Diseipline. Disciplinary fines could be imposed on rural mail carriers by the Post- master General under a House bill passed yesterday by the Senate. EXEMPTS D. A. B. FROM TAX. The national headquarters in Wash- ington of the Daughters of Ame ican Revolution would be exempt from taxation under a bill by Bena- tor Ball, republican, Delaware, pass- ed yesterday by the Senate. It will be submitted to the House. SEEK TO PROTECT TIMBER. A House bill authorising the Sec- retary of the Interior to co-operate in the states or with private owners of timber In protecting timber upon publie_lands or in n nal .par from fire, disease or insect plagues was passed yesterday by the Senate. The legislation was recommended by the Interior Department. FOR SENATE AS PROGRESSIVE Representative W. J.

Consequently when Frobisher re- turned with the discovery of a strait upon one side of which lay America and upon the other Asia, he was re- celved with ecclalm and honors, promptly refitted and ordered back for more gold. Owing to the comparatively crude instruments of our early navigators for determining their position as- tronomically, the exact location of Frobisher’s stfait remained a mys- tery untll the work of an American explorer, Charles Francis Hall, brought to light relics of the expedi- tion in what is now Frobisher bay on the eastern shores of Baffin Land. Bold Geography Makers. Since the work of Hall, sixty-two years ago, practically nothing has been done to plan this great land, stretching through tweive degrees of latitude ahd twenty-eight degrees of longitude, accurately. on the map. Much has been done with a boldness hard to concelve td’ place it inac- curately upon the pages of our school geographies, and without pro- test from the many so-called “geo- graphical societies.” Cartographers seem determined to admit of no con- Jectural linés, but fill In with crooks and orinkles and a sprinkling of is- land dots coast line that the eye of man has never seen. The eastern coast of Baffin Land we know only from the reports of Charles Francis Hall, from English and Ameri- can whalemen; the southern coast from the eafiy visits and work of British ex- plorers, Parry, Lyon, Batch, and Ameri- can whaling ships when seeking pro- teotion from the ice when on their annual cruises to the whaling grounds west of Southampton Island; the west- ern coast from the meager account of Northwest Fox, who salled northward to the arctic circle in 1631, roughly plotting capes and indentations from the ship’s deck. First: A Ship to Go In. The most important and very neces- sary item of the equipment of any arctic exploration is the ship, which must be especially built to withstand the shocks of contact, the pressure and the grind of heavy pack ice. This pre- caution is most reasonable, when one considers the physical pecullarities of ice. A common pan of ice, 50x30x15, against which the ship bumps, grinds and piles her strength day after day, weighs 1,350,000 pounds. A symmetrical iceberg 100 feet above the water, 200 feet long and 150 feet wide 1,620,000,000 pounds. In comparison with such a weight the largest ship ever bullt is but a pygmy. Are we surprised that the strong ships, chught between the relentiess ws of the two approaching ice fields ive been crushed flat, and even com- letely turned inside out. Bafety in the ce of such a dnnser depends upon one’s experience and one’s judgment more than on the material strength or esign of the ship, but much can be jone in the building to mitigate the nger of navigation in the Arctic seas. Small Ship Is Best. An arctic ship should be as small as ssible. That 18, not one whit larger than I8 necessary to carry equipment and provisions of the persnnel, plus the element of seaworthiness in tra- versing the waters en route to its ob- jective point. Theoretically & small ship can be constructed sounder than o _large one; she will lift more easily when under pressure, she will negotlate narrower leads and turn sharper cor- ners, she can hug the land for safety |for miles around, at the wheel. poviius il i i el o s St s it e S R U g TR O R A A MESH BAGS Greatest values in Mesh Bags - ever offered in Washington.

With her knock- about type, jibs on deck. easy entrance, wide quarters, to shunt ice from the propeller and easy bilges to elude the &rip of the ice, the ship should be con- structed of wood, the very best of oak frame, ok planks, and outside sheath- ing of ironwood, for wood is more re- silient than lron and a better non-con- ductor of heat and cold. Navigating in such dangerous wi ters, she shouid have the double_mar- gin of safety by being well equipped with both salls and power, for pro- peller blades are easily bent and stripped and shafts broken. Our own propeller blades were badly bent by the ice crushes last fall, but when we were released from the ice this spring the Bowdoin was rolled on her side on the beach and it was an easy matter to effect repairs of the propeller. That incident justified my contention in the construction of the ship. Ofl1 Is Best Fuel. Her fuel should be of oil for econ- omy of bunker space, and crude or kerosene oil in preference to gasoline, thus decreasing to a minimum the danger of fire through ignition of fumes from a leaky pipe or tank, caused by a squeeze or “nip” when held fast in the grip of the ice pack. The little auxiliary knockabout schooner Bowdoin of fifteen tons net, embodying the essential details as enumerated above, was admirably de- signed by William H. Hand, jr., naval architect of New Bedford. Mass, and bullt by a firm at East Boothbay, Me. (Hodgdon Bros). She was able under sall, strong under power, lay like a duck in rough weather, and quickly answered her helm in working through leads and strong to resist| shoals or heavy pans. She was 37 feet 1 inch over all, 21 feet wide, and, loaded, her draft was only 10 feet inches. Men Who Stayed Behind. The buliding of the Bowdoin was made possible through the gener- osity of the MacMillan Arctic Asso- ciation, friends of which have fol- lowed my work for the last fourteen years, who were interested In the arctic, and who are willing to con= tribute toward the removal of con- jectural lines and “unexplored” and the substitution of fact. “We are in luck; here i3 a little bit of a thing going to the north pole.” I heard a woman explain as she stepped from an_outomobile at the head of the one dock in the beautiful town of Wiscasset, Me. The grounds about the old customhouse and pier were crowded. and Gov. Percival Baxter of Maine was there to bid farewell—per- haps a greater attraction than the stanch little craft lying at the end of the pier, with colors Aying, loaded to the limit for her arctic vovage. And when we started on the last leg of our journey those supplies were not exhausted. “Let Go For'ard.” I can anticipate your question, why did you sall from Wiscasset? Because the “people of Wiscasset evidenced such a decided interest in the pro- posed work of the expedition, andl through the enthusiasm of my classl mate, Charles E. Sewall, Bowdoin, '98. Proof of this interest was manifested in the presentation of valuable ma- rine and scientific instruments and friendly treatment by the townspeo- e. Finally, after much last-minute confusion we were wished godspeed by Gov. Baxter. That was on the aft- ernoon of July 16, 1921. With a final “Let go aft! Let go forard!” We let g0 out into the stream. The interna- tional code strung from stem to mast- heads and a huge state-of-Maine flag stretched between the fore and main rigging and we were off on our ad- venturous voyage. The Take-Off. The second day of our departure from Wiscasset, was characterized by a day of almost constant visitation from friends, and among them sterl- ing friends, as was indicated by the visit of Horace Henderson, Bowdoin, 16, of the Pawling School, the boys of which had presented me with binoculars, which I carried through my_trip. We stopped at Townsend gut, with ‘Whitehouse, my engineer from Booth- bay, who knew every rut and ;h&u e afely negotiated the narrow pas- age, ssed Mouse and Burnt and the well known Bqulrrel, shot across for the passage between Fisherman's island and Linekin neck and within three hours were tled up at the boat yard at East Boothbay. After com- pleting our furnishing for the trip William Hodgdon of the shipbuild- ing company expressed a desire to Eo with us as far as Battle Harbor, Lab- rador. Married Men Handicapped. As we swung away from the dock at 6:30 a.m. on Monday the Bowdoin grounded upon a bank twenty vards distant and there she remained till 7:05. The superstitious would have re- garded this as an ill omen, but such incldents or accidents have never had with me the slightest connection with good or bad luck, although in this known “Jol rom A knew Him' to be a valuable boy In every why, as was demonstrated to me 1n the former arotic and subarctic téips. . 9 Engineer From Malne. - Harold Whitéhouse, engineer, born in Linlken, Me., 1891, married; occu- pation, installation of marine en- glnes, and 1910 fo 1018 an employe of -the ‘east coast and eoast ship- bullding plant; 1920 and 1921, Med- Iterranean’ and Dardanelies, Egypt, After armisticse went to Cologne with the famous 90th British Division, Liverpool, N. 8. all throush their lives. b .

Arriving in the Arctic, she was imprisoned in the pack and drifted, held in its grip for eight months, 1,200 miles to the north. But we eventually got under way. “As homesickness was expected to have some relation to the failure of former expeditions, none but unmar- ried persons were admitted as mem- bers."* Barentic _expedit years ago was not S0 tragic as Yy were led to believe, for I infer from the above policy of selecting the men that they were all bachelors, divorced or widowers. It was and still remains a wise plan, for men are apparently more susceptible today to a feeling of loneliness when away from wife and children, than during the adventurous days of the sixteenth century. % One commander of an arctic expedi- tion announced that no man with black eves would be accepted as a member of the crew.

Naturally, a man_should be young and vigorous and energetic, and i should have a love for the out-of- doors, and_unmindful of wind and weather.

Mon- day we were engaged at the customs office and a flying visit to the office of the American consul at Sydney. Prior to my leaving I ran the Bow- doin into the dock, in order to take on supplies. Upon my return I was surprised by the presence of a large crowd. I soon learned that the Bow- doin had been run into by a steamer, formerly a British gunboat, but now in the passenger and mail service between Sydney and the west coast of Newfoungiland. Every man of the many gathered on the dock to see the new arctic schooner from America expected to See her settle and sink within a few minutes. The collison apparently did not injure .the Bowdoin, although the green-heart sheathing and planks were slightly crushed. Yet she jumped ahead; she had no thoughts of sinking and was ap- parently as tight as a drum. The god of the sea had not forgotten us while we lay in port, and as we stole out of port at midnight we encoun- tered a severe thunder and lightning storm, accompanied by a terrific rain.
