The rejection o( Lady KhomluVs claim a peeress in lier own right to a scat in the lioiue of lord Ka aroued wide spread resentment anions woman ad vocatei of x equality. Women have learned how to agitate effec tively. ince ihey got the vote and are determined not to let the matter rent where it now stand. It it not lrcaue the i a wealthy woman, a brainy woman and a woman of title, too, that they are rallying to the support of Lady Rhondcla, It' is because she stands for the principle that woman shall sutler no political disqualification just because she i a woman. The contest is sure to be renewed at the earliest opportunity. There are a score or more of peeresses in their own right in the I'nited King dom and any one of them might re new the battle. By its adverse de cision the committee of privileges of the lords has merely reversed its de cision in Lady Khonddas tavor, made a few months ago. Meanwhile this last decision affords a striking illustration of the famous saying that lawyers and the lords whomade the decision are all lawyers can drive a "coach and four" through any art of parliament. For the sex disqualification removal act, which the lawyer-lords were supposed to interpret, is so explicit it would seem to the average layman that not even lawyers could disagree as to its meaning. It says: "A person shall not be disqualified by sex or marriage from the exer cise of any public function or from being appointed to or holding any civil or judicial office or post, etc." The promoters of the act stated that their purpose was to provide that rio woman should be disquali fied from holding any office or doing anything which she could lawfully do if she were a man, merely be cause she was a woman. Art Treasures Lost. To the many recent complaints of the loss of art treasures through pur chases by Americans, Sir Robert Witt added another . warning this week when he presided at the an nual meeting of the national art col lection fund at the Burlington house. "It is my duty," he said, " to warn the society that at the present mo ment, more than one great jnaster piece is in imminent danger of leav ing this country; more than one masterpiece which no country, how ever" poor, can afford toMosc& . "W are '.so impressed with tW gravity of the position that we are prepare to support trie cnanceuor oi me exchequer in any method short-' of confiscation which , will -Jceep .. these masterpieces in the country. 2 " Sir Alfred Mond said that in these days it was necessary to enlist the pennies from the millions.,- , "The rich are too poor , to be: able to' afford to do : much," he added; "It is not difficult to understand why there are so many public spirited people in America prepared to pay large sums for beautiful .works of art.'' New Palestine Emerging. The high commissioner for Pales tine, Sir Herbert Samuel, at a re ception given by the council of the English Zionist federation the other 1 . " .1 1. ..... .. . I-"1 -1 1 n I' ! ! 1 uay, saia lie saw a new iuunv gradually taking shape. He said the public security of the country, al though by no means what it should be, had greatly improved during the past year. All this had been accomplished, he declared, without any grant from the British exchequer. The civil admin istration of Palestine had paid its own way,, while the expenditures on the garrison had been cut in half and he confidently believed it would be fur ther greatly diminished next year. Sir Alfred Mond paid tribute to the high conimissoner's work and said Palestine was one of the most peaceful spots of the world today. The efforts which the Jewish people have made, he declared, had formed one of the most remarkable records of colonization. . Sky-Writing Introduced. The Daily Mail has introduced sky writing as a new means of advertis ing. The writing is done by an air plane equipped with a smoke-producing device and an automatically controlled ejector. The first experiment was made ever Epsom Downs on Derby day. and it was so successful that great possibilities are seen in the enter prise. - The throngs along the race course first saw what appeared to be a long, slender, blackish cloud mariing the otherwise clear sky. As they watch ed, however, they saw the gradual formation of the letter "D" against the sky. A moment later, a second letter took shape. The crowds, mys tified as to how the letters were anchored in space, used powerful glasses with which they were just sblc to see the plane, a mere dot, emitting great clouds of smoke dur ing its skillfully maneuvred flight. The letters remained clearly de fined for more than five minutes. The nine letters composing the sign "Daily Mail,", had been spelled back-' ward so that they would face the crowds below in their proper posi tion. It took five minutes of a care run piannea nignt, curing wnicn mil lions of cubic feet of smoke wer; ejected. The smoke trail composing the let ters was 10 miles long and the com-V-leted sign was three miles wide and- two and one-half miles from the ground. It was visible over more than 80 square miles of territory. Film Actor Denies Charge . v. : of Attack on Young Girl Los Angeles, June 3. Herbert Rawlinson, film actor, today filed in the superior court here a formal de . niol of the charges brought by Mrs. Ethel E.

Prof. Charles Rich et of the Institute of France and the Academy of Medicine,' and his two colleagues appointed by the (acuity of sciences of the Sorbonne to in vestigate spiritualism and the tranee ilienomena of medium, ar : aehkv MR some curious results. Their work thus far. has been con fined to seances, with Madame Bis- son, a medium, well known among the spiritualists of western r.uropc Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has had sit tings with her. She is one of the few mediums reputed to exude viscous liquid (rom their finger tips under iraiice conumons. The professors had been told that this liquid, dripping onto a plain stir face, took strange forms of faces. 1 hey have not had that result yet, but have made other singular discov eries. The medium's hands, while in a trance, were held at some distance from a table and the liquid dripping from the finger tips, they said, lorinea into slender sticks, some what after the fashion of stalactites. Could Lift Table. When the union was established between the finger tips and the table by means of these slender rods, the medium could raise the table from the floor apparently without the ex ertion of any force. Some of these rods have been ana. lyzed chemically, the professors re port, revealing that they contain no substances not contained in the human body. The committee of professors, un dcr instructions fremi the faculty of sciences, must not disclose any de tails ot their findings until their in quiry has been completed. French Autos Economical. The prevailing high price of gaso line has sharpened the wits of French automobile engineers and carburetor designers -with the result that the an nual consumption contest at Le Mans beat all records for mileage. The winner, one of the popular 10 horsepower automobiles, carrying four passengers, covered 100 miles at an aveiage speed of 25 miles an hour on less than xi gallons of gasoline and about two ounces of oil. The cost per passenger worked out at one-fourth of a cent per mile. Scarcely less remarkable was the performance of an 18 horsepower, sleeve valve machine, which had Potash Quartet Alleges f Misconduct by Juryman Convicted Men File Motion for New Trial, Charging Juror Held Stock in Successor to Com : ' pany Under Fire and Knew V ' Defendants. Charging misconduct on the part oi a juror, the "potash quartet" W. G. Chipley, W. A. McWhorter, Charles Weblberg and Jacob Masse Saturday filed a supplemental mo tion for a .new trial.

Briand Breaks 5 Months' Silence in Answer to Critics Nantes, France, Jivne'3. (By A. P.) Breaking a silence of five months Aristide Briand, former prime minister, tonight vindicated the policy he pursued while head of the government. In a speech he re plied to his critics, refuting their ac cusations of weakness and pointing out how his successors had been obliged to revert to his policy.. Dealing with his royalist critics he declared that the recent local elec tions showed that France was awakening to her true interests. He maintained that after the war the principal duty of the French gov ernment was to insure peace. France owed it to her allies to-be patient, and not to abuse her strength .in the task of assuring peace. The former premier said he did .not for a moment assert that there were men in parli- in Spirit' Probe made more than 40 miles to the gal lon, covering the course at an aver age speed of 47 miles an hour. The latter automobile fitted with a sumptuous body cost each passenger carried in the perfection of comfort less than 1 cent per mile. A small eight horsepower machine covered 7i miles on half a gallon of gasoline at an average speed of 24 miles an hour. German Operas Favored. The production of a series of Wag nerian operas in Paris for the first time since the war has received sur prising favor from the French pub lic. The performances arc under the direction of Tullio Serafin and the company is composed of Italian singers. The Theater Dcs Champs F.lysees, where the operas arc being produced, is playing to capacity audiences every night. During the war there was a strong movement among ntusit cians and the opera-loving public to banish Wagner operas torevci from the French stages, and an attempt to render "Parsifal" in October, 1919, resulted in riots.

If the motion for a new trial is granted, imposition of sentence on the four, set for July 1, will be de layed another six months, according to Allen. Stafford denied vigorously each of the reflections cast upon him. "Counsel did not ask me whether I owned stock I was the only man of the 12 to whom they did not put that question."

Amundsen Will Seek Land at Top of World Airplanes, Wireless and Dog Will Play Part in Voyage to North Polar Basin North Pole Destination. Seattle, Vah., June 3 When Capt. Roald Amunden'i exploration ship, Maud, sails from Elliott bay here today for her long voyage through the We packs oi the un charted north polar Uasi.i, one of the most complete and extensive scien tific expeditions ever undertaken in that region will get under way. The expedition is a resumption of the effort, begun by Captain Amundsen "in 1918, under the auspices of the Norwegian government to ilntt past the north io!e with the ice floes minutely studying phenomena of a vast area never hciore visited by white men, and to secure data which the explorer expects may revolution lie present clay meteorological and oceanographical knowledge in the northern hemisphere. The expedition, Capt. Amundsen has repeatedly declared, is primarily a scientific one, and while he hopes to reach the north pole he discov ered the south pole in 1911 the studv of ocean and magnetic currents, the unit ot the ice pack and movements of the air will be his first objective. Covert Roof of World. The two airplanes one capable of carrying nine passengers and the Other a three-seatcr and the wire less outfit, the explorer deems the most important items of the vessel's equipment. With the planes "the eyes of the ship," he will make an intensive exploration of the huge area of almost 1,000,000 square miles covering the "roof of the world." The larger plane will be used for the more- extensive investigations, while flie scout plane will fly in the im mediate vicinity of the vessel. By means of the wireless equip ment Captain Amundsen expects to keep in touch with the world and perhaps to flash the message that, fol lowing Peary, he has reached the north pole. Four times daily he will send wireless messages to Washing ton, giving meteorological date ex pected to aid measurably in, fore casting weather conditions through out the globe. Every Precaution Taken. Every precaution has been taken to guard the expedition against the twists of fate in the Arctic that so often in the past have caused the failure of explorative efforts and re-: suited in tragedy for those who took part in them. Captain Amundsen is skeptical of the theory that an ex plorer can "live on the country" in that part of the world, and the Maud has befcn stocked "with provisions to last seven years. Sixty tons of fuel oil have been taken aboard. "Husky" dogs, to be used in sledge work after the vessel is froz en into the ice, will join the vessel at Nome, Alaska. To provide re creation. Jn the long Arctic winter winter, books many of them have been added to the stores. Six hun-. tired pounds of candy form an im portant item of the cargo. The Maud is expected to reach Nome ' within three weeks, and by July 1, to be heading out into the Arctic. Ice conditions are reported to be better than during the last few years, and the explorer is hopeful of reaching a point far north be fore the pack closes in lifting the little ship bodily to its surface. An additional northing of 60 or-70 miles, it is estimated, may cut a year from the drifting time. Scientists in Expedition. Capt. Amundsen expects to drift past the pole from a point off north east Siberia to Spitzbergen. within 5 or 6 years. Oscar Visting, one of the four men who accompanied Amandsen to the south pole, will be sailing master of the Maud. Other members of the vessel's complement, include Carl Hansen, mate; Dr. H. U. Sverdrup and Finn Malmgren, scientists; G. N. Olonkin and S. Syvertsen, engi neers; Lieut. E. G. Fullcrton, former Canadian army aviator, Lieut O. Omdal and Sergt. O. Dahl of the Norwegian army, aviators. Of the six natives taken on board the Maud last year, only one, Cacot, will con tinue with the expedition after reach ing the Siberian coast. H. H. Hammer, Seattle representa tive of Capt. Amundsen, and re cently knighted by the king of Nor way for his services in connection with the expedition, has been named an honorary member of the Maud's crew. The first effort met with delay in 1920, when the Maud lost a propel ler in the ice off the northeastern Siberian coast and was forced to put into Seattle for repairs. Re cently the vessel has undergone com plete overhauling, and. additional equipment, including two airplanes, a long range wireless outfit and many precise scientific instruments has been added to the complement. Special investigation will be made to determine whether land exists in the neighborhood of the pole, as some oceanographers, basing their belief on sudden shifts in polar ocean currents, have maintained. Much at tention will be given to the ocean itself and, through holes bored in the ice, scientists of the expedition will measure the depth of the water, direction and strength of submarine currents and take samples fron dif ferent levels for chemical analysis.
