(By Cable to The Times) London, Sept. 13 Two rival Ant arctic .expeditions, one American and . the other British, will dash for the south pole, both straining every nerve for the honor of placing their respect- ivv uags uyuu me uuveieu gum ai iue southernmost spot on earth. The first call for funds to make up a $200,000 subscription list was. issued hero today by Captain Robert F. Scott, of the discovery expedition, and simultaneously with stirring edi torials in the English press, calling for patriotic compliance came a cable gram from Sydney, C. B., in which Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club, confirming the report that Commander Robert E. Peary will organize an expedition during the coming winter to make a 'dash next spring for. the south pole. Great Britain, stimulated by the uecess Of Peary at the porth pole, Is Aroused today to a pitch of enthus iasm seldom seen out of war time. "For the honor of the flag," is the caption Of an editorial today In which the pally Mail commends the-under taking of Captain Scott. In part tho leader reads: "Through the energy and daring of Commander Peary the hope that the Union Jack would fly first at the north pole has been taken from us forever. It Is poor consolation to read in Commander Peary's account that he placed an Englishman in command of the last supporting party because it seemed appropriate to have him next to an American." The Malldeclares that toe English are unaccustomed to occupying Sec ond place in any field of human en deavor. "A race for it is certain in the im mediate future," continues the Mail. "Are the Stars and Stripes or the German trl-color to be nailed to the south pole?" While the definite plans for the American expedition are not yet known. Captain Scott announces that the British party will leave next - July. It will have two bases, one at MacMurdo Sound and the other in nies, and motors are to be used. It is stated that, if motor sledges can - reach the foot of a glacier, there can be little doubt they will ascend, it, and thus greatly simplify the Jour- ' . ney. ";..:- According to the advices received here, Commander Peary will not lead the south polar expedition. The lead er has not yet been selected, but he .will be a man well known, it is said, in the field of exploration. FINE HOTEL BURNED. : Millionaires Fight for the Lives of the ' ' . Hotel Guests.

LOVmi lS MADE CHAIRMAN OF UNION PACIFIC AFFAIRS (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York. Sept. 13 Former Judge Robert S. Lovett, for years the right-hand man 'of Edward H. Harriman in all his great railroad enterprises, today had conferred :upon h!m the leadership in Union Pa cific affairs and all their vast ramifi cations when he was elected chair man of the board of directors of the Union Pacific Railroad, to succeed the dead financier. : William Rockefeller and Jacob Schiff were elected directors of the road to 'fill the, vacancies caused by the deaths of Harriman and H. H. Rogers. Directors Hughitt, Peabody, and Frlck were appointed a committee to draw up resolutions on the death of Mr. Harriman. The action of the directors In nam ing Judge Lovett to control the road's affairs is accepted in Wall street as final evidence that the Har- riman -pollcy in the Conduct of tho road and its allied properties will be continued. Judge Lovett was closer to Harriman in a business way than any other man and it had long been recognized that : Harriman policy meant Lovett policy as well. Judge Lovett's selection will meet the hearty approval of the entire Harriman business organization. Lovett is distinctly a Harriman man, not a Morgan man, ana wnai- 'ever his personal attitude toward the man whose millions played so promi nent a part in upholding the prices of Harriman issues in the two days fol lowing the financier's death, may be, it Is a .foregone conclusion that Har riman methods will : obtain as long as he is at; the head. The election of William Rockefeller "to the executive board of the road places the Stand ard OH party Just where Is had been in the affairs of the road. Mr. RocTP efeller merely succeeds to the place made vacant by the death of another Standard Oil chief. The election of Jacob Schiff .which Increases the membership of the com mittee from 5 to 6 men,' is a further triumph " for the Harriman policy. What Judge Lovett was to Mr. Har riman In a general business way Mr. Schiff was in a financial way. All of the railway wUard's great money coups' were planned with and handled through Mr. Schiff and his banking house, Kuhn, Lbeb & CovSfei' a V It is said 111 Wall street today that Morgan, Sr., never had Intended that his son's name should go before the Union Pacific directors as a candi date for the chairmanship of the exec utive committee. "Mr. Morgan's policy is that 'Jack' Morgan-shall be in a position to step into his (father's) shoes, no matter how suddenly the call may come," said a well-known banker today, and in furtherance of that policy he is having him direct his energies en tirely to the affairs of J. P. Morgan & Co. The' election of Messrs. Lovett, Schiff, and Rockefeller had no ef fect on the market. Wall street had felt confident, that Judge Lovett would be selected to carry on Harri man's work and the official announce ment was looked upon as having no bearing either way on prices.

One of the Wounded Ones Will Die. At First Thought the Children Had Been Kidnapped Threats Had Been Made Against Parents of Dead Child. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Utica, N. Y., Sept. 13 A horrible crime was revealed here at 7:30 o'clock this morning, when a milk man passing through an isolated sec tion discovered the bodies of threee young Italian children under a cul vert near St. Agnes cemetery. One child, Teresa Percopia, aged eight years, was dead. Fannie Infusino, aged six, was unconscious from loss of blood from a wound in the abdo men and will die, and Freddie Infus ino, her brother, aged two and a half years, was helpless, a serious wound in the right arm having bled pro fusely. The entire Italian colony, number ing Over 15,000 persons, has been l.thrown into a" state of frenzy .and 1 n.:zis...i3f.i-::. ifTSi -.i.. side. The crime is believed to be a Black Hand outrage and forty police men and detectives are working on the case, together with three blood hounds owned by the New York Cen tral Railroad. Two suspects were quickly arrest ed and subjected to the third degree by the police officials. The children had been missing since last night, and their parents and friends had been searching the Ital ian' section. When making his rounds this morning the milkman drove over the viaduct spanning the ravine, which had been used as a dumping ground. The eldest of the three children was seen lying on the ground partially concealed by old trees. The milkman descended into the gully and found the three children in a pool of blood and lying cldse to gether. He at once notified the po lice, who sent word to the parents. The police hurried the two living children to Fulton Hospital, where it was said Fannie Infusino could not survive. She has a bullet wound in the abdomen, but before losing con sciousness was able to relate her story to the police. The boy has a serious wound in the arm but is ex pected to recover. According to Fannie Infusino, a man approached the children while they were standing in front of the Percopia home yesterday afternoon. He beckoned to the Percopia girl and asked her to accompany him. She cried to the other children:- "Come on, he is my god father." The children followed the man. The route led to an Isolated spot in the rear of the cemetery. This place screened from view by a clump of woods on one side and the cemetery on the other. When the lonely spot was reached the Italian pulled a re volver from his pocket and shot the Percopia girl through the abdomen. She died in a few minutes.- As soon as he had killed the eldest of the trio, he turned the gun on the Infus ino girl and .mortally wounded her. The boy had begun to cry and the Italian turned the revolver on the lad. His aim was not as good as the previous ones and the boy was wound ed in the arm. Thinking that he had killed all three, the man hurriedly , made his escape. ; The children lay at the mouth of the culvert during the night. The Infusino girl was uncon scious during the greater, part of the time, according to the boy's state ment and he was too frightened to go for aid. , The Infusino children are the daughter and son of Ercole Infusino, 421 Bleecker street. The Prscopia family live above the Infusino family, being their tenants. Black Hand threats have been mads against Infusino and he has been la f ear of vengeance, because of failure to comply with some demand recently tnade. When the children were found missing last night It, was thought Cctlnued on Page Two.); $25.

A thousand letters with one cent stamps will easily cost fif teen dollars and not one envel ope In ten will be opened, be cause the very postage is an in vitation to the wastebasket. It's only "the man who has not looked at it that way" who hesitates for an instant, over the advisability and profitable ness of newspaper publicity. If there were anything cheap er., or better, rest assured that the greatest merchants in Amer ica would not spend individual sums ranging up to half a mil lion dollars a year and over in this. form of attracting trade. It is no longer a question of whether It pays to advertise in the newspaper. Instead, it Is up to the advertiser to find out which newspaper will bring him the greatest returns from his advertising. Most Raleigh merchants un hesitatingly declare In favor of The Evening Times because they have , had abundant un doubted proof of its superiority as an Advertising medium. No matter how big or little you may contemplate advertis ing, it la certainly to your in tercst to "talk ft over" with one of The venlnsr Times ad-men.
