Palmer. { .HAD MANY ADVENTURES NEAR COAST OF CHILE Records of Expeditions to Polar Regions Obscure—Credited With Discovery. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. A manuscript log book of the first explorer and probably the discoverer of the Antarctic continent, containing a thrilling tale of the adventurous days ‘when Yankee whalers cruised the seven seas, has just been presented to the Library of Congress. This is the log of the brig com- manded by Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer of Stonington, Conn., who, in 1820, sighted that section of West Antarctica now entered on most maps as Palmer Land and who explored the coast line. The yellowing manuscript was received from Mrs. Elizabeth D. Soper andher #on, A. D. Soper, of Stonington. ‘The events recorded took place after Palmer’s discovery of Antarctica and | Telate chiefly to an adventure on Juan Fernandez Island, off the coast of | Chile, famous as the scene of the fic- tional adventures of Robinson Crusoe. 1 In addition to the journal records by Palmer himself, there is a longer ac- count written ' “from memory quite elal‘:” by George Hubbard, the second ma Tells of Uprising. He relates how Palmer and two sea- men had gone ashore in search of seal skins. After they had been gone for about two hours a Chilean brig came alongside the Annawan and imparted news that there was a revolt on it ha the military took charge, confining the gvemor and releasing the prisoners, it ing & penal settlement. This made great confusion and trouble on shore, and the military and convicts, of course, | were very anxious to get away from t'}ie island before the news could reach ' Val iately upon Capt.

Palmer. “This caused a great rumpus and came near being fatal, as some of the convicts believed Capt. Palmer in- |tended to go to Valparaiso and give |them up. Some were wild with rage and they confined Capt. Palmer to his |room and gave the command to the mate. They made the proposition to |the mate that if he would take com- mand and turn ?lnfie they would dis- | pose of Capt. Palmer. This he refused Im do.

In a few | days we sighted the land, and at near eve we landed them just ‘below the |town, and thus got clear of the blood- | set. | “Prom here we touched at Santa, jPeru, and after this cruised around in “mearch of seal skins.

By this |time the captain of the port intervened and our men were released. | “Prom here we saled to Valparaiso. A day or two after our arrival about | /60 of our captors were brought into town in carts to be sent back to the !island. When they passed the vessel | | they yelled out Bueno Americano!” Due to the fact that his enterprises {‘were entirely commercial, Palmer re- mains one of the most obscure figures | |among American explorers.

Ou the other hand.( some of the land described by Wilkes is known ot to exist, Belng interested in whales and seals rather than geography, Palmer made 1o official reports of his discoveries and | explorations. These have been pieced together from his logs and from letters | of members of his crews. but the re- sults have not been entirely satisfactory !in_establishing his claims as the dis- | coverer of a continent.

RECOMMENDATION MADE AFTER COURT’S DECISION Pamphlet Covering Laws on Lifts to Clarify Them Is Officer's Plan. A recommendation of Col. John W. Oehmann, Distriet building inspector, that the elevator regulations be di- vorced entirely from the building code and made the subject of an individual pamphlet, is under consideration by the Commissioners, it was learned today at the District Bullding. Col. Oehmann's plan s designed pri- | marily to prevent another decision similar to that of Police Court Judge Schuldt n the recent case against the Wardman Construction Co., who held | that the elevator regulations embodied as they now are in the bullding code are discriminatory, Court’s Ruling. The Wardman Co., as sgent for the bullding occupled by the Department | of Justice, was charged with operating | elevators without first having obtained a certificate showing that the lifts were in a safe and sound condition. Judge on the ground that one of the elevator regulations relating to safety devices was not published, as required by law, and that the regulations, as a whole, ing Code, of which the elevator regula- tions are a part, stipulated in the pre- amble that they were not to be ap- plicable to buildings owned or occupied by departments of the Pederal Govern- ment. The removal of the elevator regula- tions from the Bullding Code, Col. Oehmann_believes, will not only take them from the purview of that code, but also will give the buflding inspector’s office supervision over elevators in build- ings leased by the Federal departments. The bullding inspector, however, will not be held responsible for elevators in Federal-owned buildings. Technical Recommendations. Col. Oehmann also recommended cer- taln modifications in the existing eleva- tor regulations for the purpose of clarfication. Virtually all of them are of a technical nature, Before acting on the building in- spector's recommendation, the Com- missioners have asked the corporation counsel’s office for an official opinion | @s to the legality of certain provisions written into the administrative sec- tion of the revised regulations. The Commissioners, it is understood. have virtually ‘decided not to appeal from Judge Schuldt’s decision in the ‘Wardman case on the advice of As- sistant Corporation Counsel Thomas, who submitted a comprehensive re- port on the verdict in that case, Thomas, it was sald, agreed with Building Inspector Oehmann that the elevator regulations should be sep- arated entirely from the building code and clarified, MOTORIST IS STRUCK ON JAW BY TAXI DRIVER Charge of Assault Is Preferred Aft- er Silver Spring Man Is Taken to Hospital.

This order is the first in the history of the Air Corps for quantity production of a pursuit plane with anything but a water-cooled engine. ‘Ten P-12 pursuit planes were deliv- ered to the Air Corps during the past year for trial and have proved to be satisfactory. by the Navy as a fighting ship. Forty-one of the new planes will be O-1E Curtiss observation planes and 28 A-3B attack planes, both types hav- ing water-cooled engines. ‘The remaining three planes contracted for are experimental and will undergo exhaustive tests at the Air Corps Ma- teriel Division, Wright Field, yton, Ohio, to determine their suitability for military use. All three planes are radi- cal departures from any service type ever used by the Army. ‘Two of the new ships will be twin- motored, three-seater monoplanes, de- signed for reconnaissance purposes. ‘They will be designated as experiment: observation types, bearing the design: tion X0O-27. They will be manufactured by the Fokker Co. The third new type will be a two- seater pursuit plane manufactured by the Berliner-Joyce Aircraft Corporation of Baltimore.

All Christian Science healers prac- ticing in Washington must register with the Commission on Licensure to Prac- tice Healing Arts, according to a recent decision of the ‘commission, it~ was learned today. A letter has been dis- patched to the head scientist of each church listed in the telephone direc- tory by Dr. William C. Fowler, health officer of the District and secretary of the commission. The letter reads: “I have been instructed to advise you that all Christian Science healers of the District of Columbia are required by section 2 of the Realing arts prac- tice act to be registered with the com- mission and that application for such registration must be made to the said fon and accompanied with a fee of $1. “The commission also has instructed me to request that you furnish it with a list of the names and addresses of all Christian Science healers in your church who are authorized by ~the church to_engage in this method of healing. Each person making an ap- plication must submit with such appli- cation a certificate from the church under whose auspices they serve, show- ing that they are duly authorized rep- resentatives of that church.” ‘The letter was signed by Dr. Fowler as secretary to the commission. Dr. Fowler said today that the letter had been sent out after considerable dis- cussion of the subject and sald fur- ther there were other types of religious healers who probably would be com- pelled to register. He said, however, that the commission has not yet reach- ed a decision on any except the Chris- tian Scientists. Dr. Fowler said that he had received one reply to the letter from the Mother Church simply stating that the matter would be referred to the next meeting of the board of governors. COL.
