Starting with two planes, one was
abandoned at the furtherest north
point attained when it became stuck,
in tW’Ttc.
A rumor has reached liere that the
two planes became separated at one
time during the northward journey.
During the separation, according to
this rumor. Lief Dietriiehson. pWot
and mechanician Oskar Omrahl. were
nearly drowned. They were rescued
by Lincoln Ellsworth, it is declared.
The Norwegian press hailed the
fact of Amundsen and his associates as
the greatest polar exploit in history.
The Aften Posten points out that the
scientific results were these:
Amundsen reached 87 degrees 44
minutes; there, soundings showed the
depth of the ocean 3,756 meters, thus
vast fields of ice led to the conelu-
eonfimiing previous observations; the
sion that a landing was impossible

ometers, to 88 degrees 39 minutes,
north, had lieen ‘covered” without

area than has ever before been ob-
served by the eyes of mah. And the

adventures, is a feat of high merit
in itself, declares the Aften PosTen.
The Norwvgitn ship Heimdal will
leave tonight for Franklin's Bay to
bring in the Amundsen plane which
was left there when the party board-
ed the fishing vessel. The first plane
alaindoaed was frozen fast in the i®
at the point nearest the Pole and was
left there., members of the Amundsen
party have stated.
Amundsen’s report to the Norwe-
gian Aeronautic Society adds that the
party abandoned a large part of its
provisions ami gaselihe with the air-
plane.
Lincoln Ellsworth, American col-
league of Amundsen on the daring
aerial venture, was deeply affected
by the news af his father's death,
which occurred two weeks ago in It-
aly. He announced that henceforth
he wil devote his fortune to explo-
ration. >

Copenhagen, June 19.—(United

today.
This report is to lie accepted only
with reservations. United Press cor-
respondents in Norway have not con-
firmed it and the North -American
Newspaper Alliance ofifees in New
York have not received such advices
from Amundsen.
The Demokraten pictured him as
reticent, but aa believing that his
experience will enable him to suc-
ceed in a second attempt.
Members of the party, the Social
Demokraten says, intimated that

Cheyenne, Wyo., June
19.—The leasing of Teapot
Dome to Harry Sinclair an<l
his Mammoth Oil Company
was upheld today by Federal
Judge Blake Kennedy, who
rendered his decision in the
annullment suit brought by
. “The allegations of fraud in
the bill have not been sustain-
ed,” Judge Kennedy ruled.
I The secretary of the navy was
J fully within his rights in acting
j as he did, having been author-
ized by the Act of June 4, 1923.
to “develop, conserve, use and
operate” the naval oil reserves.
Judge Kennedy held.
He further had full authority
to “use, store, exchange and sell”
the crude oil royalties, Judge
Kennedy held, denying the gov-
ernment’s contention that the
secretary’s action in dealing in
commodities for the government
was a usurpation of congression-
al authority for appropriating
money for such dealings.
Judge Kennedy struck from
the record all exhibits and rec-
ords of Fall’s bank accounts and
financial dealings with the Con-
tinental Trading Company, in
sustaining a defense motion.
The government’s bill of com-
plaint was dismissed, every*'ma-
jor contention in it having been
denied in the decision.
The decision assumed that the
oil transactions involving the
trading company, A. E. Hum-
phreys, Texas oil operator, the
Sinclair interests and the Mid-
west Oil Company, have been
bona fide.

Heat Wave Temporarily Broken By Rain Here Today
Burning out of several wires lead-
ing from the new high-line into the
plant of the Texas Power & Light
c’inpany on Lindsay street this aft-
ernoon, shut off all electric current in
the city ami resulted in closing down
a number of industries, including The
Register. The metal jxits on our tvpe-
aetting machines are heateil with elec-
tricity and it was necessary to wait
considerable time after the current
was turned on for the metal to heat
again, this ordinarily requiring alout
45 minutes.
The trouble is Ixdieved to have
originated in a local mnnufaeturiiig
plant that uses considerable current.
A short-circuit threw an abnormal
load on the lines at the electric plant,
causing an explosion that was heard '
in many parts of the city. Numerous
high-voltage wires ami fuse lilocks
were burned out. and a scaffold l>e-
ing used by workmen at the plant
was set afire. Prompt action of em-
ployes of the |tower plant prevented
further damage. More than an hour
was consumed in making repairs.
Occurring just at the time when
The Register was closing its forms
preparatory to going to press, publi-
cation of the pa|>er was delaved near-
ly two hours.
The heat wave that has prevailed
in this section for several days past,’
reaching a maximum of 103 degrees
at nonq Friday, and the drouth that
was on the verge of alarming pro-
portions, were temporarily allayed
by a generous shower of rain that
fell in Gainesville aliont 3 o’elc k
Friday afternoon. The total percipi-
♦«tion registered at the postofficc
ujfts marly’ one-third of an inch, or
S' to tie exact. Incidentally, it was
th', 'heaviest rain that has fallen
here shice May 9. when .79 of an inch
was recorded. A shower is reported
in the vicinity north of Muenster,
but information Attained by the
Southwestern Bell Teh phone com-
pany indicates no rain fell in St. Jo,
Muenster. Myra. Whitesboro, Mari-
etta or Ardmore.
The first indications of a shower
■ were noticed at noon, heavy clouds
hanging west fo Gainesville. Occa-
sional claps of thunder could be
heard as the storm clouds moved
doser to the city. Numerous flashes
of vivid lightning and cooling blasts
of wind accompanied tire rain iind the
temperature here dropped down close
to the 90-degree mark.
Weather records kept here show
that prior to today’s rain, 3.27 inches
wa« registereil in May and 1.83 inches
in April. The forecast for Saturday
indicates cloudy weather.
Shanghai, June 19.—(Associaed
Press)—The Chinese general Chamber
of Commerce voted today to termi-

some question today as to how the
chamber action would affect the ship-
ping strike which is largely controlled
by communistic labor elements op-
posed to commercial and financial in-
terests represented by the chamber.
Lincoln, Ncbr., June 19.—(By
United Press.)—George E. John-
son, secretary of the Nebraska
State Department of Public
Works, today asked the state
attorney general to file charges
of violation of the corrupt prac-
tices act against Chas. W. Bryan,
former governor of Nebraska and
Democratic vice-presidential can-
didate in 1924, in connection with
Bryan’s campaign for governor.
Johnson also asked that
charges of violating the state
budget law and forcing a deficit;
misuse of funds received from
the federal government and mis-
use of the state revoving fund be
preferred against Bryan.
Bryan is on a speaking tour at
the present time.

Flaming Meteor Gives
Gainesville People Thrill
Gainesville ami the neighboring
countrv was visited Wednesdny night
about 9.45 o’clock by a small meteor
which fla lied up from the south and
Indited the heavens with a brilliant
flare for a second or so. The meteor
ceased to give off any light while yet
high in the sky and gradually faded
into the darkness of the night. The
meteor appeared to be about, the size
of a hat. It is not known whether
the meteor fell to the ground near
here.
This is the second brilliant meteor
appearing in this vicinity within the
last few years.
Washington. June 19.—.By United
Press.)—An important realignment
in politcis was foreseen today as a
result of the passing of Senator Rob-
ert M. LaFollette.
While liis subordinates in the In-
dependent Party movement proclaiin-
the third party he fiAinded,
would hazard a guess as to
might be the new leader.
On the other hand. Republicans
saw a break up of the “LaFollette
bloc” in the farming northwest —
particularly in La Follette’s home
state of Wisconsin, which he had
held by sheer dominance of individ-
ual popularity. The death of La-
Follette, they believe, may open the
state t oregular Republican rule.
LaFollette wished that the party
he ivganized in the last campaign
should continue. He had privately
expressed to his associates the de-
sire that they carry forward the
banner he carried in an effort to
bring about eventually the changes
he sought—election fo judges, curbing
of the power of the Supreme court
and complete readjustment of pres-
ent railroad operations.
IaiF<*ilette had many able lieuten-
ants. William H. Johnston, machin-
ist*’ union president, is expected to
continue hs chairman of the execu-
tive i-ouncil of the new party. Rob-
liert M. LaFollette, Jr., may receive
appointment of hrs father’s post in
the senate by Gov. James G. Blaine,
state laeder in Wisconsin.
