New York, N. Y.-Commander Rob-

pleted arrangements for departure
on his fifth voyage in search Of the
North Pole, and within the next
ten days hopes to sail for the North
on the Roosevelt. The explorer is
confident his voyage will be made 80
per cent easier by the knowledge here
tofore gained. On his last trip he got
within 174 miles of the goal, and was
then forced to turn back. This time
he. will travel the same route and leave
his ship against the icefoot on the
northeast coast of Grantland. He says:
when leave the ship will strike
westward in the dash across the Polar
basin. The drift of the ice is to the
eastward, which was one Of the i'm
portant things discovered on the
last voyage. 1t will carry me to the
Pole. Then / mean to strike directly

Though there has been no formal dec

Fears are entertained Of attacks,

MAJOR HUNTINGTON DIES UN.
CONSCIOUS OF ACTIONS OF
HIS SON.
DISASTER CAUSED SENSATION
The Swift Succession Of Incidents In
the Family Has Cast a Gloom
Over the City of
Versailles.

Versailles-The death of the aged
american soldier himself and an at
tempt at self-destruction on the part
of his son Henry, who shot his sis
ters and brothers in the last hours of
his dying father, impaired additional
sadness to the shocking tragedy in
the home of Maj. Henry A. Hunting
ton, which has caused a sensation in
the American colony and diplomatic
circles of France.
Maj Huntington died shortly after
the news was given out of his son
Henry's unsuccessful attempt at sui
eide, but the father was spared the
anguish of the knowledge both of this
incident and the terrible crime which
shattered his household, as he was
unconscious to the end.
The Frustrated wife, his daughter
Edith and his son Douglas, whose
slight wounds permitted them to pay
the last honors to the dying man,
were present in the chamber when
the end came.
According to the police, Henry at
tempted suicide in his cell with a silk
handkerchief, which he tied around
his neck and fastened to the bars,
seeking to strangle himself slowly by
means of a tourniquet. The jailor,
who had been instructed to watch the
prisoner closely, detected the act in
time to prevent serious result, and it
was announced that Henry had not
succeeded in injuring himself.
The swift sequence of tragic incl
dents in the Huntington family, which
is one of the best known, has cast a
gloom over Versailles. Though
plunged in grief at the death of the
head of the household, the mother and
children have had time to interpret
Henrys effort at self-destruction as
additional evidence of the mental ire.
sponsibility which, they say, he has
manifested for long time in GER
tain directions.
His wife, however, declares that II
was the natural result of remorse at
the dreadful acts which he committed
in a sudden outburst of uncontrolla
BILE fury at the interference of his
brothers when he hurried to the bed
side of his dying father.
The French judicial authorities feel
that searching probes alone will bring
out the exact happenings in the Hunt
ington villa which antedate the shoot
ing.
On the subject of just what occurred
on the night of the tragedy there is a
conflict between the story of the Hunt
ington family and the statement Hen
ry's wife says he made to her, but
both agree that the man was carried
away by passion which unbalanced
his mind.

with difficulty was placed in restraint.
When her mental condition became
apparent the girl was taken to the
Kings County hospital. There, in a
lucid interval, she told pitiful story
of assault, many of the details of
which were subsequently substantial

They were taken to the office Of the

According to their story, told through
Deelo, there is peonage colony of
twelve Italian families, consisting OF
fifty persons, on a cotton plantation at
Robinsonville, Miss. They say they
escaped from the plantation and made
their way to st. Louis. They were
ragged and hungry when they ap-

help.
According to their story the Italians
live in sort of block house on the
plantation, which is surrounded by
guards with rifles who prevent them
from communicating in any manner
with their friends or the authorities.
They say that for year they have
been trying to get word of their condi-
ton to the outside world. Letters
they wrote to relatives and to the OFF,

GUNS BACK JUDGE
FEDERAL AND STATE AUTHoRl-
TIES MAY CLASH.
The GOVERNOR UPHoLDs JUDGE
Governor Glenn Of North Carolina
Defies the Federal Courts in
Rate Law Case.

Asheville, N. C.-Unless United
States Assistant Attorney General
T. T. Sanford, President Roose-
velt's personal representative, sue
ceeds in his mission as peacemaker,
there promises to be physical clash
between the federal and state authori-
ties of North Carolina.
Sanford has already held a hurried
conference with United States Judge
Pritchard, and held a meeting with
Governor Glenn's special counsel, in
an effort to secure their acquiescence
to his program for an appeal Of the
North Carolina rate cases to the fed
eral supreme court, before which he
promises that the department of jus
tfoe will ask an immediate decision.
Judge Prltchard is naturally willing
to await an appeal.
The state authorities say the case
is one purely for the state courts,
and that delay pending action by the
federal bench virtually nullities at
least part. of the law.
Judge Pritchard has already dis
charged District Passenger Agent
Wood and Ticket Agent Wilson of the
Southern railway, whom State Judge
Reynolds had previously sentenced to
80 days each in the chain gang for
selling tickets in violation OF the new
state 2A-cent rate law.
Judge Reynolds insists he will still
enforce sentence. Judge Pritchard
says he will send him to jail if he
does, and Governor Glenn has an
nounced he will protect Reynolds with
the militia if necessary.
Another possible source of trouble
is Judge Pritchards order prohibiting
the state authorities from proceeding
with more rate prosecutions. In de-
fiance of this order, the prosecutors
of various counties are preparing in
dictments as rapidly as possible.
Judge Pritchard holds the law un
constitutional, in that it imposes pen
alties which would bankrupt any rail
road, and by enforcing sentence denies
the defense the right Of hearing be
fore the higher court.
