DEATH JURY TO FIX EATON CASE BLAME, Hospital Witnesses Will Be Heard Tomorrow at Coroner’s Session. A coroner's hearing testimc attendants at Georgetown University Hospital, will fix responsibility or waive allegations of negligence sur- : death of Mary Arlington. Va., who tomorrow, after 3 attaches and result of an * medicinal solution. Police believe the substitution of so- dlum hydroxide for sodium fodine was accident ns and nurses from George- town University Hospital will testify at the inquest. In the afternono fu- neral services will be conducted at the Gawler undertaking establishment, after wheih interment will be at Mount Olivet Cemetery. The actual injection took place 11 davs ago, just before the patient was to undergc X-ray examination. The physician, it is understood, called for sodium iodine. It was thought at the time that sodium iodine had been in- Jected into the patient, but later it was found that a bottle of sodium hy- droxide had been substituted in its place. An autopsy Friday night by Deputy Coroner H. E. Marfyn established the cause of death as hemorrhages result- ant from an injection of the sodium hydroxide.

Action to Be Taken If No Word Is Received in Fortnight. osLo, y, May 30 (P).—The fate of Roald Amundsen’s expedition still remains clouded in an fmpenetrable veil, which has hid den the whereabouts of the heroic party since the start for the Pole nine days ago. While the Norwegian government has not definitely ordered the dispatch of relief, arrangements are well under way for prompt action, if at the end of a fortnight. dating from May 21, no word from him reaches his native shore. Public opinion generally remains quietly confident of Amundsen’s abil- ity to overcome both foreseen and un- foreseen obstacles and there is much speculation regarding the possibility of his making a spectacular reappear- ance remote from where he might be expected after reaching the top of the world. May Seek Maude. It has even been suggested that Amundsen might try to reach his old schooner Maude, which is somewhere oft the New Siberian Archipelago, where she is frozen in. Numerous wireless messages have been sent to the Maude during the past week and none has been returned as undeliver- able, but they hzve elicited no re- sponse. This is attributed to the in- sufficiency of the Maude's wireless equipment to transmit over long distances during the polar day. According to the highest authorities, Amundsen is most likely to make for either Spitzbergen or Cape Columbia. Spitzbergen today reported clear weather, with no wind. There were light clouds and a temperature about zero. The steamer Farm has returned to Kings Bay for supplies, leaving the Hobby alone to watch the ice edge. SWEDES STILL OPTIMISTIC. in Italy by Cor- See Necessity of Observations Taking Long Time. STOCKHOLM, May 30 (#).—Swed- 1sh Arctic authorities continue optimis tic concerning Capt. Roald Amundsen and the members of his flying expedi- tion to the North Pole, notwithstand ing that nothing has been heard from them since they left Kings Bay, Spitz bergen, more than a week ago. One expert, K. J. Stadner, gives the opinfon that a successful flight would entail elaborate observations, thus de laying the return. Tt is pointed out by the authorities that bad weather Is slowly moving toward the pole region and may be expected to reach there in a few days. The contemplated voyage of Comdr. Donald B. MacMillan to the Arctic next month is regarded here as inter- esting, and it is believed he would reach the neighborhood of Cape Co- fumbia about the time the Amundsen flyers might be enroute from Cape Columbia_along the coast of Grant Land to Fort Conger to discover a harbor where it is thought they might rest if the ice was broken up. Should the Amundsen flyers take the route to Cape Columbia the experts consider they should reach that place one month after starting from the pole XPLORER'S SHIP NEAR.

Can the Maude Hear? Among persons here familiar with the Alaskan-Siberian Arctic Ocean the Nome dispatch started the question: “Can the Maude hear the civilized world by wireless, although unable to send an answer? “If so, are her men in good enough condition to organize a relief party for their chief?" A message went to Nome late in the Winter for the Maude, from Amundsen, directing her to abandon her expedition and come South to San Franeisco to be sold. Whether she recelved it was never learned. This message would inform the Maude that a Russian vessel will refuel her this Summer if ice permits. Near Wrangell Island. The Maude lies in a tragic region. about midway between Wrangell Island and the delta of the Lena River. Wrangell Island is the known scene of eight deaths in two of the white man’s expeditions, and in the Lena delta 12 of the party of the Jeannette, which left San Francisco July 8, 1879, floundered through frost to_death not far from food. But the Maude when she left here ‘was well provisioned. Persons fond of speculation sug- gested the possibility that Amundsen, if he went to the Pole and was unable to leave there by air, might work south toward Siberia, trusting to succor coming from the Maude. This, however, was- generally dis- credited as a possibility, although the Maude lies about as far from the North Pole as Point Barrow. FRANCE OFFERS SHIP.

PARIS, May 30 (®).—France’s noted oceanographic research vessel Pour- quol Pas has been offered by the ministry of marine for Amundsen re- lief work.
