" AMUNDSEN TALKS | OF POLAR FLIGHT Failure to Lecture Here Is Explained by Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor. Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 4.—Capt. Ro- nld Amundsen, explorer, in an inter- view last night explained some diffi- culties, and incidentally received a gift from an old friend who was, to some extent, responsible for the dif- ficulties, The explanation concerned the Na- tional ~ Geographic Soclety's _wit-| drawal of an invitation to speak be- fore it, because of statements he made, or was reported to have made, concerning the clatms of Dr. Fred- erick A. Cook to the discovery of the North Pole. The gift came from Dr. Cook, now #n inmate of Leavenworth prison. It was a hand-embroidered table cover, made by Dr. Cook. It moved Capt. | Amundsen considerably. Starting Date Unsettled. Capt. Amundsen als r expedition led by Comdr. rting time had been set xpedition, he said.

C, THURSDAY, WARCH 4, CHILLY WINDS REVIVE DISCUSSION| OF LATER INAUGURAL DATE Congress Headed for Enrly Ceremony, But Better Weather of April 30 Is Cited in Arguments The whirling winds of March blew some rather typical 4th of March weather into the Capital today. They sent the thermomgter down to 24 de- ‘ees early this morning, with pros- pects that it would remain low encugh throughout the day to make the re. view from stands or sidewalks of an inaugural procession—if this were an inaugural year—a rather chilly and uncomfortable pastime. The habit of the thermometer on March 4 of giving a gentle reminder that Winter is not yet over always serves to revive the suggestion that the date of the presidential inaugural be changed—for humanitarian reasons, at least—to some balmy day in the Spring. Congress, however, is going in the other direction just now, and if a res lution passed by the Senate and new pending in the I{ouse become: n- stitutional amenc t, the President and Vice President will be inaugurated into office on the third Monday of Jan- nary. Brrrr! An inaugural throng in the Capital however, would at least be able ep dry, and the day is nothing than sublime in comparison with some other March fourths not yet for- soti notably famous ‘‘flare k"' fourth of President Taft's in- augural in 1909, for Delay As an almost habitual purveyor of wintry weather for inaugural occa- sfons, March 4 is amply indicted by the 60. r records of the Weather Bureau, President Grant's second in- augural, in 1873, holds the record for low temperatures, with a minimum of 4 degrees and a maximum of 20. From that date to 1901 there have been 17 years in which a below-freez- ing temperature has been recorded on March 4. Below-freezing minlmums are rec- orded for the inaugurals of President Hayes, in 1877, 25 degrees; Garfleld, 1881, degre: Cleveland, 1893, 24 degrees; Roosevelt, 1905, 29 degrees, and Taft, 1909, 29 degrees. The low- est temperat for President Cool- idge's inaugural, last March 4, was 28 degrees. Some 25 years ago there was consid- erable discussion and effort to amend the Constitution so as to defer in- augurals until April 30. 1f that were done, the Weather Bureau records show that Inaugural spectators would enjoy an average temperature 20 de- grees above that for March 4. The average for April 30 is 59 degrees, as compared with 38 for March 4, and during the whole period of the Weath- er Bureau's existence a freezing tem- perature has never been recorded for April 30.
