C., Wednesday A fternoon, March 29, 1922 3c Per Copy Saja PLANS TRIP TO NORTH POLE New York, March 29.?As fascinating as a tale by Jules Verne was the plan for aerial exploration of the "roof of the world" sketched today in full forthc first time by Capt. Roald Amundsen, discovered of the South pole. Arriving from Norway, the explorer plunged at once into the work of organizing the expedition which sails June 1 from Beattle to drift across the North pole ? an expedition which Amundsen expects will revolutionize polar exploration and provide a short cut to incaluable scientific knowledge. The expedition which sails this time for the North pole will not be like those which have preceded it, according to its leader. Its vision will not be confined to a few miles on either side of the ship but from the air it will be able to take in at a glance objects 200 miles away. It will not for years be cut off from touch withS the outside. Instead, it will talk by radio four times a day with Washington and when it returns in three or five years it will know WrV* O f f llA AMflll'tA'l J 1""~ ?

It will not have spent years charting merely a narrow strip, but with the aid of aviation, will be able to chart 1,000,000 square miles, sketching the currents of the air as well as those of the sea. For centuries scientists have believed that currents at the North pole have been responsible for climatic phenomena in this part of the world in which civilized man lives and Amundsen hopes to accomplish with his airplanes in a five years' voyage what would take 40 years, millions of dollars and many lives if only a ship and dog sleds were employed. It is upon his two planes that Amundsen pins his chief hopes and it was upon one of them that he focured his attention as soon as he stepped ashort today. Hardly had he landed than he hastened to a conference with John M. L&rzen, a governor of the aeronautic chamber of commence of America. Affected by the explorer would be the all metal Larsen monoplane which, on! December 29, flying over Mineola, in zero weather established a world's a?: r?z? 1CVU1U 1U1 tuuwiuuuus Ul -lu hours, 19 minutes and 35 seconds. The plane, Captain Amundsen explained, was being supplied by Mr. Larsen at his own expense. Amundsen is confident that the monoplane, ? the eyes of his vessel Maude?will be able to do its work well, permitting far sallies to either side of the vessel and sending warnings of ice fields and dangerous currents that should be avoided. The plane already has tried its wings in a temperature 49 degrees below zero. Last year Mr. Larsen made a 6,000 mile round trip in the ship from New York to the Arctic circle, by way of Edmonton, Alberta, and the Peace river and reported that the plane handled as well as if it were being flown in the balmy airs of Florida. Amundsen said today he expected seldom to encounter a temperature lower than that in which the plane already has been tested.

At the close of the session the min- 1 rs announced they would have more tatisties ready for tomorrow's nego- j iations. When their case was pre- ( iented later the operators said they j vauld submit data in support of their t laim that miners' wages should be ' educed in proportion to the reduc- s ion in other industries of the nation, i "Our figures show that despite the t owered costs of food, clothing and s iuch necessities, there has been an in- t ;rense of 25 per cent in the anthra- t ite district in rents, light, medical p harges, car fares and amusements," (j leclared Philip Murray, vice presilent of the United Mine Workers' in ct rnational.

SURPRISE IN ARBUCLKE CASE San Francisco, March 28?The ?tate lat? today rested its ca#e in the Ihird manslaughter trial of Roscoe 2. Arbuckle with testimony offered by Vliss Virginia Briggs, a surptlsc witless. The defense immediately began ts presentation of evidence by calling Adolph Juel, head of the police identification bureau. Miss Briggs, who is secretary to Dr. Francis Wakefield, at whose sanitarium Miss Virginia Rappc died, following a party in Arbuckle's hotel ooms, testified that Miss Rappe told I ler that "Arbuckle took me by the! u-m and threw me on the bed and put lis weight on me and nfter that 1 do! lot know what happened." At the conclusion of Miss Briggs' estimony the defense moved that the itatements be stricken out as hearsay. The motion was denied. Miss Briggs explained that qhe had cone into Miss Rappe's room <on the lay of her death. "She asked me ibout the amount of the hospital bill hat would be due," said the witness. 'She said she didn't see why she .hould pay the bill, as Arbuckle was esponsible for her being there. I told ?er that if Arbuckle or any one else hould pay the account after she left, he money paid by her would be reurned. She replied that she was not roinf* to leave: that she was croinrr tn lie. "Then I asked her why she thought he was going to die, and it was then hat she told me the details of the farty." Cross-examined by Attorney HcNab >f the defense, as to whether Jt was lot true that she had telephoned him isking that Miss Rappe's bill he paid ind threatening that if it Wfs not he would tell her story to the district ittorney, Miss Briggs made an nbsoute denial. She also denied that McCab had told her to give any evidence he might have to the district attoriey although admitting th rente had Id her to see that official, sne preumed, about the bill. Miss Briggs declared that had lot told her story before o^ephyv hank from" SeTotorietjTsm'jB^a " hat she had been summoned to te,sify only last Saturday. A portion of the alleged attack by irbuckle on Miss Rappe was enacted >y the defense in an effort to show hat force had been used, finger prints >n the hotel room door would have teen blurred and smudged beyond dentification. Juel testified that the finger prints ?n the door of the hotel in which the itruggle was alleged to have been dace were not those of Miss Rappe ind Arbuckle, contradicting previous estimony of a prosecution witness. iiamese Twins 111 With Jaundice Chicago, March 29.?Death still urked in the shadows of the hospital oday where lies Josepfa and Rosa FUazek, the Siamese twins, stricken vith yellow jaundice.

I WORKING MAN'S ANNUAL BUDGET Chicago, March 28.?Industries should use the same principle in supplying energy to their employees as in supplyying coal under their boilers, B. M. Jewell, bend of the shop crafts unions, told the railroad labor board today in presenting a budget requiring $2,636.97 a year for sustaining a working man's family. America "with such productive power and such natural resources should afford all her workers more than a shabby existence," he declared in continuing his light against wage reductions sought by 201 railroads. To secure what his budg.-t provides however, he said, railroad mechanics must earn <10 per cent more than at present. "Bui the railroads propose to cut wages again," ho said. "In stead of 70 per cent of the budget which railroad mechanics are now able to purchase under the cut they will be able to buy only about onehalf of the budget. l>o the railroads propose to put their employees on the blockade ration of Germany during the war?" Mr. Jewell's budget, he said, was based on an average railroad mechan no more than a "sane supply of food and only the barest minimum in other respects." The food menus would furnish the wape earner 4,140 calories a day. The $2,(530.97 family budget, he said, was about $300 more than the department of labor's burget. "Under the f?7 1-2 cents an houi rate which the railroads propose, a mechanic can make $1,051.40 a year, $1,000 less than the amount necessary to purchase the essentials listed in the budget," he said. "Then there is the rate of Id cents an hour proposed for helpers. With not an hour of regular work time missed this means annual earnings of $979.20. The allowance for food of $383.20 provides ten cents a meal for the man and six cents daily for as is contemplated in the budget prepared by the economists for the railroad workers. Three summer union suits must do about three years' service. The man's suit must wear eight years, his winter coat ton years. Oatmeal, potatoes and coffee prevailed in the menus because coffee acts as stimulant in place of adequate nourishment, and oatmealand potatoes are filling."
