b ol iz 4 RACE WILL CLOSE HORSE SHOW CARD Five Events to Be Decided Before Hunters’ Derby ‘ Is Run Tcday. Five championships are to be de- cided at Arlington Park this after- noén just before the 1925 meet of the National Capital Horse Show with the annual running of the hunters’ derby, an event that has tracted more than a dozen nationally krown thoroughbred leapers from stables throughout the East. Judging of the champions will be- gin about 4 o'clock, when the blue ribbon ponies of the present show are called to the arena to compete for the final and highest honors. They will be followed in order by the winners of the road saddle horse class, the light- weight hunters’ class, the middle and heavy-weight hunters and the park saddle horse contestants. Card Is Shortened. bring the champion- ble into closes In order to ship cont the arena, today'’s hortened to include only seven events, in each of which there are comparatively few entries. Some of these events, how- ever, will provide some of the finest color of the current show. The Rock Creek Hunt Club’s showing, in full livery, and the hunt teams are both scheduled to run this afternoon. The first class to take the arena was for saddle ponie: to be followed by ar-old hun the Rock Creek Hunt. Club, road saddle horses, triple bar jumpers, middle and heavyweight hunters and the hunt teams. Cham- pionship contests will come next, with the hunters’ Derby immediately fol- lowing these events. Several flat races will also be run this afternoon unless it is found that the regular card occu- pies too much time. Famed Show Horse Killed. Yesterday's card was marked by four sensational mishaps, one of which resulted in the death of one of the most famous show horses in America —Hindu Maid. J. M. Trapnell, former owner of the internationally known mare, was riding her for Mrs. Augus- tus Riggs in the difficult touch-and-out event, the tenth on the card for the ds Rounding the turn to the third Jump, directly in front of the grand- stand, Hindu Maid faced a barrier that ordinarily would have been a comparatively easy leap. Her effort, however, w: tull foot low, and her knees crashed against the barrier. While Mr. Trapnell went hurtling a good 15 feet through the air, Hindu Maid came down on her head, her neck breaking with a sickening crack. Mr. Trapnell, an experienced horse- man, landed heavily, but was unin- jured. Hindu Maid lived just long enough for her rider and former owner to limp back and pat her neck affectionately. Track emnloves drag- sed the dead horse off and Mr. Trap- neil, visibly affected by the accident, harried to his own quarters. He had sold Hindu Mald to Mrs. Riggs for a sum said to have been $2,500. Hindu Maid was one of the prominent mem- bers of the American Olympic team last year. Miss Walker Has Fall. Just a short time before Miss Evelyn Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Walker, had had a narrow escape at the same jump. Her horse, too, had misjudged the timber and crashed over it, throwing its young rider to the ground directly in front of it. For a minute it seemed that the struggling horse would either fall on her or trample her to death in its efforts to regain its feet. Miss Walker kept her head, however, and scrambled to safety, neither horse nor rider being injured. The climax came during the run- ning of the steeplechase sweepstakes, when Irvin Bevis and B. Harris were thrown while their horses were taking the same jump. The accident looked 50 bad from the judges’ stand that the ambulance of the Women's Motor Corps, American Red Cross, which has been in attendance throughout the meet, was ordered into the field and both riders were taken off on stretche! It was found that Bevls was painfully cut and J arris had sprained his ankle, but 1. her re- quired attention at a hospital. After recelving first aid from the Red Cross attendants they went home in private automobiles. Animal Is Dragged. Another incident that might have resulted in a serious accident also oc- curred during the showing of the Chestnut Farms Dairy team of six horses, hitched to one of the com- pany’'s big trucks. One of the horses became entangled in some trailing har- ness and fell beneath the pounding hoofs of its mate. A spectator along the rail saw the horse as it fell and yelled to the driver. Before the team could be stopped the animal had been dragged 30 feet, but it was uninjured, and after being extricated continued in the event. Mrs. Coolidge had occupled a box direc in front of the jump where the first two accidents occurred, but she left the grounds about an hour before the spills occurred. The card was the most brilliant of the present meet and the unexpectedly large num- ber of accidents marred what would otherwise have been one of the best days the National Capital horse show has had for several years The Summaries.

Capt. Amundsen Had No Plans to Return By Way of Alaska By t Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 23.—Capt. Amundsen_had’ no intention of returning from his North Pole expedition vin Alaska. This statement was made today b; Loring Pickering, general ma; ager of the North American Newspaper Alliance, who gave out a cablegram he received on May 4 from the captain, bearing on_this pofnt. Mr. Pickering issued the state- ment_ because it has been pub- lished that the delay in hearing from the progress of the flight ¥ be due to a continuation of the party across the Aretic region in an effort to reach Point Barrow. The cablegram read as folloy espito rumors, under no eir- cumstance do we contemplate continuing our flight to Alasks.” t 11:30 today no message had been received by the Al liance as to the progress of the flight since the announcement of the departure on Thursday afternoon NO WORD OF POLAR FLYERS RECEIVED; HOPE IS STILL HELD (Continued from First Page.) instantly gives us a nervous start and a tense moment of listening, followed by an undercurrent of disappointment. Perhaps next time the alarm will not be a false one. The steamer Hobby has forged far north into the ice pack, close to lati- tude 80.30, without uncovering a sign of the missing flyers. This {s considered a fair indication that no disasters befell the explorers in the early part of their trip. We met the Hobby at 1 o'clock head- ing south, and put off a small boat for Lieut, Horgen, who reported the fruit- lessness of the vessel's search. The water around Danes Island was almost Ice free, and our meteorologists said that the conditions which existed around us probably stretched un- changed all the way to the Pole. With such atmospheric clarity as surround- ed the Farm this afternoon, it was obvious that the flvers could pick up the jagged peaks of Spitzbergen from a point almost half way to the Pole. Ten Abeve at Pole. ‘The Thermometer today averaged 17 degrees above zero, Fahrenheit, at Danes Island and was probably about 10 degrees above zero at the Pole. The meterologists awaited eagerly their daily telegrams giving weather condi- tions in Russian Siberia, for that is the zone from which the only possible unfavorable developments might come. All day yesterday everybody aboard the two mother ships watched and listened. s and ears were focused on the great snow-mantled mountain range which stood between us and the northern horizon, hoping at any mo- ment to see the graceful, stalwart wals come sailing home from their perilous venture into the vast white stiliness of the Arctic. The Farm took up her position yes. terday morning in a narrow strip of open water between the mainland of Spitzbergen and Danes Island. Our other ship, the Hobby, was still fur- ther northward, patroling the sea be- yond the tip of Amsterdam Island. Each vessel was awaiting the call of any emergency, equipped with ample Splies of reserve gasoline and repair ipment for the planes. But no- .y expected that emergency to arise. he confidence of every one here in the complete success of the expdition might perhaps surprise many people in more southern latitudes. But two months’ familiarity with every phase of the preparations has given ample basis for confidence. For at least an- other 25 hours, it was agreed, we would refuse to permit ourselves to harbor any gloomy fears for the safe- ty of the six men, who, only Thurs- day, were our intimate companions. During vesterday we were com- pletely out of touch with the Hobby, which is not equipped with wireless. Our captain issued orders to push northward during the evening in order to communicate with the sister ship. Hold Faith in Planes. Amundsén and his companions, dur- ing thelr flight, are dependent for sustenance upon sweet chocolate and liquld in thermos flasks. Omdahl, me- chanic_of No. 24, choose coffee and hot milk for his drink, while the other five flasks were filled with hot choco- late. The afrplane mechanics who remain behind are very proud of the behaviar of their two machines at Thursday's take-off. They pointed out that although the planes were bullt to carry only 4,400 pounds they nevertheless left the ice with a burden of more than 6,700 pounds. The ability of the planes to rise easily from the weak ice was emphasized, as evidence of perfect construction and superb handling. Ellsworth’s machine stopped dead on the ice at one point, breaking com- pletely through the ice. But the air- plane pulled itself out of the water- hole onto the ice again under the power of its engines alone and with- out any ald from momentum. “Those machines were lifted from the ice as gently and lightly as a woman’s hand raises a delicate porcelain from the table,” said one of the mechanics, proudly.

Amund- sen’s polar flight continue very favor- able and that there is every hope of the expedition returning safely. A dispatch to the paper says the temperature now is mild. The steamer Farm is not in communication with the other expedition ship, the Hobby, as the latter is not equipped with wireless. Those with Arctic experience or other expert knowledge believed that Amundsen’s continued absence findi- cated that he had landed at the Pole or had discovered an intermediate body of land upon which he had de- scended for closer investigation and more accurate location. In either éase, it was pointed out, he might have encountered difficulties on attempting again to take to the air. Norweglan press comments agree in the view that Amundsen must have landed at the Pole. The newspapers argue that otherwise by now he would have returned to Spitzbergen. Doubt Land Discovery. Capt. Otto Sverdrup, Norwegian Arctic explorer, sald he did not think the discovery of new land by Amundsen was probable. He expresged the opin- fon that there is no land around the North Pole or in the unknown polar basin, recalling that Peary did not see land around the region of the eighty. eighth degree north. He said that in his opinion the polar basin and the region of the North Pole are made up | of open water and of drifts of ice, sometimes level and sometimes broken. Maj. Gunnar Isachen, another Arctic She was |explorer, expressing a contrary view, said he would not exclude the possi- THE ' EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925.

Authorities here did not expect di- rect news from the expedition uptil the party can return to Danes Island, where the auxiliary ships now are waiting, or until the explorers can reach some other place on Spitzbergen and get in touch with the radio station at Green Harbor. Favorable Weather. ‘Weather reports continue to indi- cate favorable atmospheric conditions. Speculation in newspapers here in- cludes the expression by some jour- nals of the conviction that “the Nor- weglan flag Is at this moment flying from the North Pole.” It is belleved by some that should the planes fail and Amundsen and his party be forced to hike to Cape Co- lumbia, they will then attempt to reach Etah, Greenland, the nearest inhabited place, and spend the Winter there, or at Discovery Harbor, where Peary spent the Winter of 1910, and where there is a depot of food and enough game to sustain them. In such a case, according to some theories here, the expedition may reach Thule, Greenland, by the Spring of 1926, and possibly return home by steamer from there during the Summer. Must Remain Year. Should Amundsen be obliged to land near the North Pole, Capt. Hansen sald he would probably at- tempt to proceed to Cape Columbia, on Grinnell Land, northwest of Greenland, and in that event would have to remain there for a year, be- cause the crossing from Cape Co- lumbia to Greenland is over an ex- tremely difficult and dangerous part of the Arctic seas, with much open water. The journey from the North Pole to Cape Columbia also is most difficult, Capt. Hansen said. An actual landing at the pole from the flying boats would be most dan- gerous, Capt. Hansen sald, and the restart would be still more hazard- ous. Another prominent Danish Arctic explorer, Peter Freuchen, expressed the opinfon that Amundsen would descend if he discovered what seemd to be a good landing at the pole. In the event of foggy or cloudy weather, Freuchen sald, he belleved Amundsen would desire to remain there until the sun came out again so he could make scientific observations and accurately fix his location. NO ANXIETY FELT. Copenhagen, Without News of Flyers, Belleves Them Safe. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 23 (P).—Copenhagen was still without news of Amundsen at 5 o'clock this morning, but there were no signs of anxiety here over the safety of the in- trepid explorer and his companions. It is realized that his final decision to carry an increased fuel supply in- stead of wireless apparatus makes news impossible until his return to Spitzbergen. EXPERT HAS HIGH HOPES. Amundsen’s Aide in 1920 Says Flyers May Get Back on Foot. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 28 (). —The Danish naval captain, God- fred Hansen, companion to Amund- sen and second in command of lis 1920 Arctic expedition on the sloop Gjoa, today expressed ghe opinion that Amundsen would not attempt to land at the North Pole, but would drop_the Norweglan flag there from his fiying_boat. Capt. Hansen sald he thought Amundsen’s chances of success de- pended entirely upon weather condi- tions and his gasoline supply. He said that undoubtedly the most favorable possible time had been selected for the start of the flight, but even so, and even with the best of luck, he belleved the expedition would have very little gasoline surplus. Capt. Hansen said that if Amund- sen found no level ice field near the pole he might land at the nearest level stretch and walk from there to the pole. This would requ some time, of course, and therefgys, said Capt. Harsen, an absence ol veral The structure will house the members of the expedition.

STORE IS. ROBBED. Thief Enters Over Transom and Raids Cash Register. A thief entered the store of Leo Giuliani, 929 Tenth street, through the transom this morning shortly be- tore daybreak and rified the cash drawer of $150 and filled his pockets with cigarettes. The burglar left by the front door, accidentally touching an electric buz- zer, and aroused occupants of the upper floor, but escaped. Prints of his fingers were left on a pipe in the store.

Edgerton, Corps of Engineers, today was assigned to duty as chief engineer of the Federal Power Commission in this city. He will relieve Col. Willlam Kelly, Corps of Engineers, who has held that office since the organization of the com- mission. Maj. Edgerton was his chief assistant, and is perfectly familiar with the business of the commission. Col. Kelly recently applied for re- tirement under the 30 vears' service clause of the retirement law, in or- | der that he might accept employment with a private corporatilon interested in the development of water power at Niagara Falls. His application, which was subject to the approval of the President, was denied, however, on the general ground that the Govern- CLUB WL DEFY PRIZE FIGHT AN Goes Ahead With Tuesday Bout Despite Edict of Prosecutor. Officials of the National Capital Sporting Club today accepted a chal- lenge laid down yesterday by District Attorney Peyton Gordon and hurled deflance at his ultimatum against “prize fighting” by preparing to stage, on June 4, at the Washington Audi- torium, a scheduled contest between “Young" Stribling and Jack Stone. Aroused at the action of Maj. Gor- don in ordering their pugilistic show closed last night, Frank Dane, presi- dent of the club, following a confer- ence with the club attorneys, wired the matchmaker of the Stribling bout that the engagement would take place and to “disregard rumors that it has been called off. So_confident were club officials that the fight next Tuesday would go for- ward without {interruption, and de- spite the edict of the District attorney, that the impression prevailed that in- junction proceedings would be resort- ed to as a final measure, if necessary. Denies Law Violation. Meanwhile Mr. Dane issued a state- ment denying that the three bouts which have been staged at the Audi- torium since the organization of the club several months ago were in any sense a violation of the lav “In the opinion of members and officers of this club and its legal counsel, we believe that we have been within the law in spirit as well as fact in the manner in which we have con- ducted this club,” the statement read. “We are conducting a high-class club, holding athletic exhibitions for members only. We have been running our athletic nights in a clean, high- class way since February without any interference whatsoever or intimation that we were not fully within the law. As legal action was threatened at the last minute last evening, we consid- ered it best to call off our athletic night at the Auditorium and straighten out this matter with the authorities without inconveniencing our members in any way. We are confident of our ability to do this. Tickets to be Exchanged. “Members who paid their assess- ment for last night can have their tickets exchanged for the Young .fl ibling-Jack Stone exhibition June A number of patrons who were dis- appointed when they appeared at the Auditorium last night only to find the fight off, appeared at the offices of the club in the Bond Building today to_discuss the situation. They were told that refund of the money they had paid the club was out of the question, as the sum rep- resented dues paid for membership in the club. They were informed their tickets for last night's ill-fated bout would be exchanged for the Stribling match. Gordon Cites Code. Maj. Gordon announced today that he acted against the club because his attention had been called to evidence indicating that the matches they were holding were violating section 876 of the District code concerning “prize fighting.” This section reads as follows: “Any person who shall voluntarily engage in a pugilistic encounter be- tween man and man or a fight between a man and a bull or any other animal, for money or other thing of value, or for any champlonship, or upon the re- sult of which any money or anything of value is bet or wagered, or to see which any admission fee is charged, either directly or indirectly, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished by im- prisonment not less than one year nor more than five years.” Says Charges Screened. According to Maj. Gordon, the club has been charging an admission fee to the bouts, screening this fee behind the term “club assessment.” He said that all bona fide clubs he knew of have a clubhouse and are operating along generally accepted lines. Questioned concerning other fistic encounters being sponsored by several other organizations in the District, the District attofney said that he had no evidence against any other body. “I am determined to enforce the v as it stands,” he declared. “If evi- dence is presented to me showing that other clubs or organizations are vio- latng the prize-fighting law, 1 shall tak: teps to stop them.” “Not until vesterday did I receive information convincing me that the National Capital Sporting Club was not complying with the law. As a duly constituted law enforcement officer I was compelled to act. I can- not allow the law to be flouted, either directly or indirectly, as the statute plain and quite broad. nizations that stage fights for which no admission fee is charged, and on which no championship or other award depends, need have no fear that I will interfere with them. I must abide by the law.” Referring to the bouts put on from time to time at the City Club, Maj. Gordon expressed the opinlon that the law was being complied with.

LORD FRENCH DIED AS FANE DIMWED Controversy Was Raging Over Strategy in France. Ignored by Asquith. By the Associated Press. DEAL, England, death yesterday of the Earl of Ypres, who as Fleld Marshal French a British World War figure, came at & time when his great reputation was somewhat under a cloud and while ontroversy raged over his military strategy in France. The controversy concerning the Earl of Ypres has been before the British public particularly since he published his book on the war entitled “1914,” which contained much outspoken and adverse criticism of his subordinates and some French generals and which did not except Lord Kitchener. The argument has been especially bitter concerning_the hattle Le Cateau and Gen. Smith-Dorrien’s part in that battle. Smith-Dorrien has just publis book m: ng a spirited defens the Earl Ypres' attacks on him It is considered a coincidence that only a week ago in a_public spee Lord Oxford, formerly Herbert H. As- quith, paid tribute to the five great men of the war, Lords Haig, Jellicoe, Kitchener, Gen. Sir John Cowans and Ex-Prime Minister David Lloyd George, but made no mention of the Earl of Ypres. This significant omis- sion was much commented upon at the time. The Earl of Ypre: “Old Contemptibles,” as Great Brit- ain’s first small expeditionary force to France became known, will, how- ever, alway! be remembered with gratitude by his countrymen. There is also the memory of his long and great services to his country in many fields of public endeavor, tcluding his service as Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land during the troublesome times after the end of the war until the creation of the Irish Free State. It was during this period that an at- tempt was made to assassinate him.
