Nome, Alaska, May 17. —< A >)— Lincoln Ellsworth, of the Amundsen- Ellsworth trans-polar expedition, told the Associated Press here today that they saw much open water at the North Pole when, he and his seven teen companions passed over it Tues day night in the dirigible Norge. This statement by Ellsworth provided an answer to a question .that has puzzled geographers and explorers for many years, and which was not completely settled with the. visits of Commander Peary and Lieut. Commander Byrd in their trips to the pole because of the limited amount of area reviewed by them there. Air. Ellsworth said that rook is lands were seen by his party as the pole, but these could hardly be con sidered land. Air. Ellsworth said iJe had sent a telegram to President Coolidge in reply to one from the President congratulating him and his associates on their attainment of the farthest northern point of the earth. The explores said he dropped an American flag at the pole. The Norge was being dismantled at Teller, seventy-five miles northwest of here, where it landed Thursday night ending its flight from Sipitz bergen. Col. Umberto Nobile, of Italy, designer and builder of the blimp, was supervising the dismnntel ing. Two other members of the ex pedition besides Amundsen and Ells worth were here awaiting a steamer to the states. These are Captain Oscar Wisting and Lieutenant Oskar Omdahl. The four arrived here in a launch from Tell«r yesterday. Despite the rather chilly reception accorded the four explorers because of their failure to land here instead of at Teller. Ellsworth, the only Ainerican in the expedition, said to day he was enjoying himself. .He is a typical American, enjoys frontier \life, and is well known here. Ells worth came to Nome in 1913, and was associated with an attempt to extract gold from gold bearing 6ands in this section. The four men are staying at a log cabin which has been named “The Explorers Club of Nome.” The explorers said they slept little on the flight. They said the blimps’ gondola was too small to permit the men to lie down. WILL REPAIR STREET AT SQUARE IN NEAR FUTURE Nothing Can Be Done Until Work on New Hotel Has Been Completed. The holes in the street at the square are to be permanently filled in the near future. This fact was disclosed this morning by Capt. Q E. Smith, city engineer, who said nothing could be done until the ho tel is completed. The city plans to take up all of the street car track on the curve at the square, Captain Smith said, and with the material being used in the hotel already taking up part of the street, the repair work will have to be postponed until the new structure is completed. “The street at the square is to he tom up,” Captain Smith said, “but we eap’t take up any more of the street for our equipment. For that reason we are waiting until the ma terial for the hotel is removed and the street cleaned. All of the street ear track on the curve is to be re moved and that section of the street repaired.” Captain Smith expressed the be lief that the repairs would make the street as good as any in town.

MARSHAL PILSUOSKI DOFS “ nT INI TO SfciAlEIN POLAND Refuses to Becotpe Dicta tor Although He Alien ated Extreme Left Ele ments by Decision. AFTER ONE MAN IN CABINET Leader of New Govern ment Takes Oath as Min ister of War But Will Take No Other Office. Par : R, Alay 17. — UP) —It is said In well informed quarters in Warsaw, says a dispatch to the Havas Agency from the Polish capital, that Alarshai Pilsudski has never had any intention of establishing himself as dictator. His sole object was to compel Pre mier; Witos to resign, ami he has per sisted in confining v himself / to this, notwithstanding urging by the left groups and certain generals. He took the oath of office as minister of war before provisional President Rataj like the other ministers and by this attitude is declared to have alienated the extreme left elements. Former Premier AVitos and the ministers in the late cabinet who were detained at Vilna have released and returned to Poland, but a dozen military officers of high rank are still being kept there. Aisong these are generals Rozwndown and Susiyuski, inspector of cavalry Zagorski, and the governor of Warsaw. Other officers have beep sent back to their regi ments. • Tae dispatch adds that the provis ional government has decided there shall be no reprisals whatever, and M. Rataj and Premier Bartel asked M. Trompszynska who always has been an open adversary of Aiarshal Pilsudski, to go to Posen and try to calm the anti-Pilsudskites iand in duce them to accept the new situation. The Havas correspondent says Troinpszynski’s act was only one case of broad-mindedness on the part of public men, all of whom are following the example of former President Woj ciechowski, sacrificing personal resent ment in the interests of peace. Continuing, the correspondent ce clares that it has become known that when President Mojsiechpwski and Premier Witos resigned they knew that strong reinforcements were on the way to Posen to help the government, but preferred to withdraw from office andfthus prevent a struggle in which brotjher would fight against brother. The posen divisions stopped 8 miles from the capital at Ozarow, where they are now encampel. Armed Motorcycles For New York Cops. By Internatiional News Service.

Indianapolis,# Alay 17. — UP) “Bouncing walls” and hub-high guard rails have been instrumental in preventing serious addidents in 500-mile races at? the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the last six years. Pronounced the most dangerous speedway in the world by drivers, the course has been singularly free of fatal accidents since 1919. when two drivers were killed. The con" cr-te walls are so constructed that when a car crashes into them, it is bounced back onto the track in such fashion that it seldom overturns. The improvements to the course were made after 1919. On the long straightaways, the guard rails are hub-bigb, so that when a car slashes into them they hit at the center of gravity and rare ly are upset.
