Captain Amundsen to Get Gold Medal From Geographers VAHI 1 INerTON'. Jun. II. In a uulet, un 'ostentatious manrt'er Captain ltotinll Amundsen, OUoovcror of the south pole, told of his remarkable feat here tonight In a lecture before the National Geograph ical society, which at Its annual bnn uet tomorrow night will present the ex plorer with a special gold m?dal In ap preciation of his achievement. Captain Amundsen arilved In the United Hlutcs at noon toduy and hurried from New York to Washington. "I wus walking ahead of the little cara van." said Captain Amundsen, In telling of the final reaching of the south pole. "All of a sudden I heard all the sledgu drivers cry out In unison. 1 knew what It meant. It meant that the last problem III polar discovery had buen solved." This h related in tlio same quiet tone which characterised other parts of his lecture. It was greeted, however, with salvos of applause. "On December 13, 1311. we hud reached $9 degrees 37 minutes south," said Cap tain Amundstn, "nnd 1 figured that on' the liext day we would reach the goal. I think we slept less thuu usual that night, arose oarller and breakfasted tnoro rup-, Idly than on other days. It wua u beauti ful day, the Sun was shining brightly and there was general breeze. "I instructed the men that morning to examine the sledges' meters with extreme care and to watch the distance as we went along. It was a moment of so lemnity when the five of us who made the final stage of the trip stood with nut hands on the Norwegian flag, the first plunted at the south iole." He then desortbed how the members of the llttlo party went In various dlreo tluus around the pole, making observa tions hourly and how they crossed several times over the small .suuare of territory they marked off, so as to be sure that they had come very close to the exact pole. Demos Court Norris to Control Senate tKrom a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. U.-Hpeclal Tele gram.) The Washington Times, an organ of Trunk W. .Munsey, one of the angels of the bull moose campaign, says in the course of an extended nrttclo commenda tory t)f Muusey'a scheme of bringing the republicans and progressives together un der n "holding company" with a new party name: i "George W. Norris of Nebraska, one of Some newspapers say that Norris Is be Ing boomed for a Place In Wilson's cabi net In order to get rid of him In the sen ate and make a place for a democratic successor. Indications r.ow aro that dem- ocrats will control the next senate by only one or two majority. If a democrat could be cliosuii from Nebraska In place of Nor ris that majority would be raised to three or four, whl oti would be a good deo. nearer to comfort.

This fact Is nppuruiit to those who have given thflmntter proper attention; the Douglas County liar association has dis cussed the Mtibject on Hcveral occasions. with the general result of agreeing tenta tively, at least, t lint the system should bo changed, or the prnctlce of the courts regulated In some reformatory way The justice court has been referred to as "the poor man's court." and, In theory at least, this ls true. In practice, many good attorneys say Uu. reverse Is true, This condition of affairs Is laid to tlio cyll effects of the feu system. Justices of the pencil depond uu fees to pay for their services. "Costs" mean bread and butter and other luxuries to them; costs depend on litigation, and the evil circle Is com pleted by the nttorney who controls much justice court practice by tuklng his cases to u court where ho Is certain of a vcr- diet. 4'ullei'tlon AttoriirsH Control. Most nil cases brought In justice couits havo to 'do with collections In some way, mainly fnrcclosute of chattel mortgages One attorney Is likely to be employed In a great many of these cases In the courso of a year. It Is natural he should take his business to the justice where he feels most sure of obtnlnlng tho result he seeks. It Is equally natural for tho justice to want to get all tlio business ho can, for business meuus money to him, To remedy this, It Is suggested that the legislature may limit tho number of Jus tices In Omaha to two; that u sulnry shall be provided In lieu of fees; to be paid out of the fees collected. If need bo, but a fixed salary , with all excess collec tions to bo covered Into the county treas ury. This will have tho effect of doing away with tho necessity of competing for business. Tho Incumbent of the Justice of the peace's office will be certain of his pay, and not dependent In tho slightest degree on the favor of Rny man. The number of Justices could be limited and their salaries fixed by legislative enactment. The establishment of a municipal court and the abolition of the justlco couits In cities of tho mctroHll. tun class would require a constitutional amendment. Chicago and tho larger cit ies have the municipal courts, and have done away with tho Justice shops. They nave found that tlio municipal court sys tem works well, and Is In general more satisfactory than tho old Justice court system. The three leading objectionable phases of the Justice court system aro: Com petition, nnd territorial Jurisdiction. Competition Krrn. lirlefly, the matter of compensation Is this; The six Justices In Omaha and the two In South Omaha aro In tho keenest kind of competition for the Justice busi ness, with the result that the proper ad- Judication of controversies and disputes between litigants, has become almost completely submerged, and the question of what decision by tho Justice will bo the most likely to Insure tho collection of costs due the courts. Is the real ques. turn that decides many cases. The territorial Jurisdiction of tho Justice must bo limited to the territory which he Is elected. If a change In the system is to be of any considerable avail. If the Omaha and South Omaha system were reformed, and no general provision limiting Jurisdiction of justices wero made, these same lawyers might take eases from Oinutia to some of the justices out In the county, where the old game ctuld bo worked as before.

Although the taxes when paid directly to Deputy Tax Collector Charles Alt fltndt of Treasurer I're's office, mean a slight saving In Interest to many of the Ptoperty owners. Altstudt says ho has a time convincing some oi. them that they are not obliged to pay t-.iem Into the city hall In South Omaha. Time and again Altstadt says he has traveled to tho ends of the city to collect taxes due the county, only to be met by the Informa tion that the taxes must bo paid to th Ity treasurer. "These poor people, said Altstadt, seem to have the Idea that they have to make the trip to tho city hall to pay their money. Some or them are also said to ne under the Impression that they get off with the payment of less Interest, when a.i a matter of fact, the county collec tor allows them ten days grace before charging Interest." Of course, when the people realise that they do not havo to make any long trip to the city hnll to pay their county taxes except for tho sake of swelling the receipts of the local deputy In the treas urer's offlco they gladly take advantage of the county collector and pay thtlr money directly to him. , Mni'lnl Service llntltllte.

Mayor Dahlman last night when ho In troduced Myron II. West of Chicago, who ectured In tho city council chumber on ' City Planning," replied to tho accusa tion of tho Southwest Improvement club that he had formed the Omaha Civic .eague for tho purjio.se of constructing a machluo to put over a charter commis sion. "There are alwayx some people." the mayor said, "because they are not Instru mental In bringing about a new move ment, ready to find fault and suspect crookedness on the part of those who do foster such a movement and I want to put the people of Omaha right on this subject of the Omaha Civic league and city planning right now. You will find people who question tlm motives because I called the meeting am1 I want to say that as someone htid lo take tho initia tive In this city planning problem, as chief executive of the city 1 called tho meeting. Wo havo laid the foundation In this matter big enough and strong enough thut there will be no doubt about the ulti mate result. "So far as a machine for the new city charter Is concerned, I don't need any machine. All I have to do Is to go to the people with It. The Southwest Improve ment club don't have to worry about what I'll do with this charter. I havo worked soven and a half years for this and when I put it to the people they can be de pended upon lo handle It properly." Mayor Dahlman declared that when he started the Omaha Civic league he in vited each organization of the city to name three delegates. "Those delegates," said he, "wrote the constitution of the league and elected their own officers and directors, and what I have had to do toward forming It Into a charter machine as described by Mr. Fitch of the South west Improvement club the people of Omaha, I feel sure, will not take seri ously." At nil)- Wnmen Present. A noticeable feature of tho meeting in the council chamber was the large num ber of women present. Mr. West Illustrated his lecture with stereoptlcon slides. He described various phases of city planning, such as segre gated factory districts, dockage facilities, public playgrounds, adequate parkings, civic centers and beatification. He told of city plans In foreign coun tries and compared them with plans in the United States. Germany, he pointed out, Is doing city planning as an applied science. He said American cities should follow the fashions of German cities In buying up properties for use In future as playgrounds or for public buildings. He advised the city of Omaha to buy property about tli city now and lay it aside to be developed along these lines In the future. "Do not overdevelop your parks," ho laid. "lt Is better to spend the city's money; in buying property for more parks, lo improve them later when the city lie comes larger and more prosperous, than It is to buy up small tracts and develop them in the shortest time possible." The speaker declared that Omaha should equip the lake fronts as nathlng beaches nnd prepare tho lakes for the children as places to bathe. Other such improve ments ulong the line of city planning were touched upon by Win. REPUBLICAN SENATORS REJECT PLAN OF DEMOS WASHINGTON, 'Jan.

Bristol before several hundred members of the leagues in tho three cities at a banquet given In his honor nt tho Millard hotel last night. "In older for a church to succeed tho youthful members of tho congregation must havo an active part In tho work of carrying on the teachings of the gos pel." ho said. "Revival meetings are a great help In bringing wandering souls souls to God. I hcait'ly approve of revivals, but think they should be held oftener than threo or four times a year. This Is Just what the Kpworth league Is doing. The mem bets aro holding revival meetings 303 days each year and the results of their work Is shown in the large Increase In Methodist churches all over the -world. "Tho league has also inspired the In tellectual phaso of the religious order. Intelligence is very necessary to religious welfare. Unless learning and religion are combined tho members of tho latter will become Infidels. "Tho colleges arc greatly Indebted to the Kpworth league for their great suc cess of late years. Thousands of young people who have been taken Into the or der have realized tho value of mental training and have taken courses In col leges. "Social functions aro also essential to religion. All persons have an Inborn teste for pleasure and unless the religious work Is relieved occasionally by social gatherings It will become tiresome and Irksome." Ulshop Bristol said the present age was too busy making money and financ ing business schemes to devote enough time to religion. Thirty-Nine Lepers Executed in Huge Pit By Governor's Order SHANGHAI, Jan. 11. Thirty-nine tepers recently were put to death by order of the provincial authorities of Nannlng, province of Kwang-SI. Tho sufferers from the dreaded disease first were shot and then their bodies were burned in a huge trench. These advices were received here today in letters from the Catholic mission at Nnnnlng. j The letters were dated De cember 14.'. They said that the lepers lived In tho woods a few miles outside of tho city of Nannlng. The mission sought per mission to build at its own expense a lazaretto for them and the provincial au thorities, pretending to consent, dug a pit ill which was placed wood soaked with kerosene. At the point of the bayonet the lepers then were driven into tho pit and shot and the pyre was lighted and their bodies burned In the presence of a large crowd, Tho authorities offered rewards for the discovery of other lepers, and this re sulted In the shooting of one more man afflicted with the disease. The governor, after tho massacre, Is sued n proclamation In which he accused the lepers of having committed outrages. Tho letters from the mission .say there ?RINCESS SAILS FOR U. S.
