DUNEDIN, New Zealand, March 15. =—The admiration of the newspaper men of New Zealand for the work of Russell Owen in covering both the North and South Polar expeditions of Rear Admiral Byrd was expressed yes- terday at a gathering of journalists in Dunedin. James Hutchison, editor of the Otago Daily Times, as chairman, told of the at pleasure which all present had elt in me«:fln;l Mr. Owen, who had just 80 ably told the world of the Antarctic expeditions’ activities, “His daily work has given a new touch of romance to Polar explora- tion,” Mr. Hutchison said. “Mr. Owen is the only newspaper man in the world who has covered assignments in both Polar regions. “His name is known to the whole civilized world. His magnificent work has added fresh laurels to his reputa- tion and shed fresh luster on the jour- nalistic profession.” Memento Awarded to Owen. In behalf of the journalists of Dune- din, Mr. Hutchison announced the award to Mr. Owen of a memento in the form of a paperweight made of New Zealand greenstone surmounted by a silver model of the kiwi, New Zealand's only surviving flightless bird. ‘The gift bore a suitable inscription.

[SHAMROCK LORE IS REVEALED BY IRISH FREE STATE ENVOY Significance of Emblem of St. Patrick. and Speak at Hibernian Dinner. The emblematic significance of the | shamrock worn on St. Patrick's day other interesting bits of Irish custom and lore are explained by Michael Mac- White, the Minister from the Irish Free State, who is to be guest of honor and principal speaker at the principal cele- bration of St. Patrick's day tomorrow. Born in County Cork, surrounded by the shamrock flelds and the crystal lakes of the Emerald Isle, Minister Mac- White is deeply versed in the legends of his_country. “No Irish man, woman or child would be without a shamrock on St. Patrick’s day,” he said. “As a small boy I can remember getting up very early to gather shamrocks in the fields, which we pinned upon our clothing. Legend has it that when Patrick landed in Ireland to convert the inhabitants to Christianity, he was summoned before the teachings of this new religion. The old chieftain could not understand the doctrine of the Trinity—how was it possible for three persons to be in one God? Looking about him, Patrick's eyes lighted upon a shamrock. Stooping, he picked one, handed it to the chieftain and said, ‘This explains the Trinity— three leaves from one stem.’ Apparently the chieftain was convinced, for soon after he and his people accepted Chris- tianity. “It was is memory of this,” explained the envoy, “that every one in Ireland :enrs the shamrock on St. Patrick’s ay.” Shamrocks Grow Year Around. Shamrocks grow in Ireland the year around and there is never a time when Mr. MacWhite. A famous old legend, still told in Ireland on St. Patrick’s day, is that of Ossian, son of an Irish chieftain, who Xl{ed in Ireland prior to the coming of St. Patrick. “Ossian” said Mr. MacWhite,” is one of the most famous characters in Irish legend. He was supposed to have been the son of a chieftan, and a brave war- rior, but lured by the promises of a beautiful siren that she would take him the land of eternal youth, he de- parted with her to Killarney, where we are told they sank beneath the waters of the lake to the country of promise beneath. “Many years passed by, and then one day Ossian decided he would like to see his father and his warrior brothers. He left the country of eternal youth and when he entered upon the land, he met some men rolling a huge stone. He tried to give the stone a push, while still sitting upon his horse, but girth broke and Ossian fell to the | looked a uj the expedition are treated as land Govzrnn’l‘an gran }:{: ‘radl: wmm:”&anu en nb“urx‘x them _to- visit the country’s with parts A mirat Byrd o being, deluged :(‘xn:.r. ‘wmm Department has is- ' to cial boards ble facili~ to listen talk. 3 Radio tion - is' arranging to mu‘-:::nh b{wmmm the country- the rece] A it, 1930, by the New York Times ©o.” a . ‘Louts Post-Dispatch.

By the Associated Press. American claims to lands discovered by Rear Admiral Byrd in the Antarctic area cannot be affected, in the view of Acting Secretary Cotton, by the ex- plorer's announced intention of not |38Y5 claiming the territory for the United | States. The State Department official held yesterday that whether the Government later decided to press claim to the polar areas or to relinquish them, no action of .the discoverer could bind it. Byrd was quoted in dispatches from Dunedin, New Zealand, as saying he had no intention of claiming his dis- covery for the United States but that he had found the lands for the world as much as for his own country. Great Britain, in November, 1928, sent a note to this Government offer- ing assistance to the Byrd party in its explorations and calling attention to its elaim to sovereignty over practically the entire Antarctic region by right of prigr discovery. After a year's study by the State De- partment, which is understood to have developed substantial grounds for Amer- ican claims to areas near the South Pole, an acknowle it of the note was itched to don, worded to leave way open for further dis- cussion of the question but not ad- mitting the validity of the British Byrd discovered several new stretches of land, one of which he named Marie Byrd Land in honor of his wife.

By the Associated Press. Pointing to evidence of the “barter and sale of Federal offices” in South- ern States, the Senate post office com- mittee of inquiry yesterday placed its final report before the Senate and re- ferred it to the Department of Justice for investigation. The report, submitted by Chairman Brookhart, dealt almost entirely with patronage conditions in four States— Georgla, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas. It urged the Government to investigate further and to “start proceedings against all persons who have violated the statute covering the barter and sale of public offices.” Referee System Criticized.

Fall, former Secretary of the In- terior, to award his company a lease to the Elk Hills naval oil reserve, was concluded yesterday with testimony from a Government witness that his company would have liked to secure such a lease, but was not offered the opportunity. The defense will begin its case tomorrow. M. E.

The Pacific Oil Co. did not bid on the contract. Nothing was sald in the specifications regarding the lease. Two Bids Submitted.

Huston acted as a_business expert in reorganiz- ing the affairs of the brotherhood. Firm Charges Representations. The Price Co. also charged Huston had made certain representations as to the financial strength of the brother- hood and his own financial and oth connections, and that as a result these representations the plaintiff had granted extensions of time for pay- ments. Huston, through his counsel, E. F, Colladay of Washington and Morris, Plante & Saxe of New York, filed a mo- tion to dismiss both alleged causes of action on the ground that no facts were -l]le[ed to constitute a just cause of t. suit.
