"This announcement has not crested any surprise, because of poUtkal conditions. and because It has been known for a long time that Beveridge would come out for Kpoeevelt and would take an active part tne campaign lor his nomination for a third term.

ANAPOLI THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1912. BRITISH EXPLORER FINDS SOUTH POLE Amundsen Confirms Reports That Captain Scott Reached Point Farthest South. DISPATCH DISPELS ANXIETY Norwegian, Who Pitted Dogs Against Motor, Says Rival Won Englishman Started November 29, 1910. LONDON. March T.

ATI doubt that Captain Robert Falcon Scott, tha British explorer, had reached the south pole was dispelled today confirmatory dis patches from rpfaTnT Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian, and Captain Scott's most feared rival. These cables quoted Amundsen aa saying Scott had reached the pole. Klrst reports were further confirmed by a nW8 dispatcn to the Dally Express from Wellington. New. Amundsen's ship, the Fram, reached Hobart, Tasmania, a few days ago on the return trip from the south.

The dispatch indicates Amundsen has reached Wellington. The editor of the Express said his correspondent at Wellington was one of the reliable men in the service and that he had complete confidence in the authenticity of hla message. The cable to th Express read ajmply as Amundsen says Scott reached pole FIva Man In Race. Tha cable' dispatches from New Zealand announcing that Captain Scott had found tha South' pole come aa a startling climax to tho race which live explorere of different nationalities have been making to reach this last extremity of the undiscovered portion of the globe. Captain Scott, who ia forty three years old.

and has served with distinction in the British nvy, started on his expedition from Port Chalmers. New Zealand, on November flu 1910. He was well equipped for this dash for the farthest south, having made a nrevious expedition under tha Erection of the Royal Geographical Society. At that time be attained a record of 83 degrees 3t rnlnutes, which remained the record ur tt the time of JLleutenant einacKieton a notable exploit. Shaekleton pushed farther south, aud in 1D07 reached 88 degrees 23 minutes, or about one.

hunored miles from the South poie. ihla remained the record, and in tred the hardy navigators of many na tions to attempt the culminating feat of reaching the pole itself. 4 "South Into Ross Sea. Captain Scctt took the route by way of Australia and New Zeaiand. Ha aailed la be Terra Nova due south into Ross sea, a great af itch cf water reaching toward tho Soul a pole.

His chief competitor Jn this dash was Captain Amun sen, who was commissioned by Ktug Haakon of Norway and the Norwegian government. Amundsen chose the route by way of soum America, as againct scott and three ther who went by the Australian route. Amunden left Bupno "Aire on board the stammer Pram toward the close of ts10. He pasted througn un Stiaits or Aiageiian' and men steered tor, tne Ross sea, tha same sheet of watc r. Which Kcott had gained by way of the 'New Zeaiand and Australian route Captain Scott planned to follow the same land trail that Shackleton had taken.

This Is along a mountain ange. thought to be an extension of the Andes range running southward through Soutn America. In Terror Bay. At the farthermost point of Ross sea. Captain Scott debarked hla party from his ship.

Immediately at the point of debarkation stands out the great volcano Mt. from which rises constantly a great cotumn of steam. It Is one of tha dreaded localities of the Antarctic. to which navigators have given tho name of Terror bay, for here Nordenskiold'a ship, the Antarctic, was crushed in the ice. Back of this bay the steam wrapped volcano standa out like a aentinel against the Ice covered mountain range stretch ing southward.

Scott made his first winter au ters on the slope of fie mountains and Khere remained until November, 1911. It then that his dash began. Ilia Plan was to cover the remaining distance by the end of December, and then lmme diately about face and make the dash back again. Had One Motor Sledge. Besides his equipment of food he had placed reliance on a score of ponies, with twenty nine dogs and one.

motor sledge. He designed to use this sledge in making rapid progress over the comparatively level atretches of the foothills. Due al Continued on Page Eighteen. WEATHER INDICATIONS. Se Weather Map ea Page UNITED BTATEa T2ATHER BUREAU.

WASHINGTON. March T. Things nra not going well with the Roosevelt campaign. Men who have undertaken tr management ot the cwrrtsn have suffered two keen disappointment. In the first place they confidently expected the anouncement from the' former Pr de.nt that he would accept a third ttt would caue a break In Pres idi nt Twit's cabinet.

Tho information cymes' sources thoroughly reliable tint Roosevelt believed at leaft two members of cabinet ar. i possibly three, would rrs i and Join ula forces immediately follow the announcement of Hi candidacy. The two cabinet otiicers v. no wr counted on confidently to quit are neorsi L. von Meyer, secretary of the navy, Henra L.

tiinson. secretary of war. 1 third man to whom he wih looking a resignation is Frank B. Hitchcock, JuH mnter reiiera.l. The Itoosevelt people had p'snned tr make large ua of thla break i.i Taft's eahlnet.

They were to point the fact that men who hnd been 1 I Identified with the administration 1 not support the iTeaident for renorni Uon. But It Didn't If the program planned had gore through the retiring cablnt officers would have been sent out over the country to make speeches in support of the Roosevelt But these plans all went awry. Secretaries Meyer and Ftirr.t on the Postmaster General Hitchcock promptly announced that ha favored renominatlon of the President ar.d wo il do all he could to bring about that result. Publlo men very generally were ng today over the Kooeevelt comment on ti Stimson speech at Chlcasro. It showed, they said, that the former President was miffed.

Information received here is la the effect that Roosevelt does not attempt to conceal his disappointment ever th failure of the plan to bring about a break In the President's cabinet. It la asserted that men like George Perkins, Clifford Finchot, Jamea R. Governor Stubbs, of Kansas. nl others led the former President to l.e live that a cabinet disruption would certainly follow the announcement that ha would accept a third term. 8econd Disappointment.

ild by sons who were on the inside, that an announcement from Roosevelt that he would take a third term would bring the La Folietta followers to him with cm grand rush. According to the Information that was laid before the former President, the Wisconsin senator was out of the rae i i spits of anything he mlttht do, and ail that waa neeesstary to bring a atamra'ie to Rooeevelt In the La Foliette territory was a declaration of the candidacy fr the former Prealdent. Here again Roosevelt was badly advised. The stampede him did not take place. On the contrary, his announcement served to put new life into the La Foliette movement.

La Foliette Men Are Firm. The Wisconsin senator, convalescing from a nervous breakdown, took hold cf the situation with some of his old time vigor, and within a week he haa reformed hla fighting lines (n half a dozen staUs. Issued commsnds to his lieutenants that mean much to them, and has ordered a general forward movement all along th Una In North Dakota, in Minnesota, In South Dakota, in California, in N'elirsska to say nothing of the senator's own state. Wisconsin, the La Foliette forces are showing great activity. All this has tended to dlseonrert thw managers of the Roosevelt cnndi.iacy.

in connecting with this La Foliette situation the Roosevelt people hsve had to meet the stubborn fact that the public Is be Inning to realize that the Internationn I iarvester Company tthe harvester truM Is the motive power behind the Roosaveit candidacy. No man knows this better than fnaf. it La Foliette. Ills speech making followers have been started to North Dakota, with inatructlons to tell the truth about thla phase of the campaign. Senator (ironn.

of North Dakota, a loyal La pollers supporter, left for home last to ho rln a spfaking campaign. A small army of La Kollette orators from Wiscons.a will invade North pakota next week. Appeal to the Farmers. La Follette'a appeaj will be to the farm era of the state who for years have been under the foot of the harvester trust, cf which George W.
