SHACKELTON GOING
 BACK TO SOUTH POLE

New York, March 29.-Lieut. Sir Er~ nest Shackleton, the British explorer who got within 97 geographical miles of the south pole and who will arrive riday in this country with his wife on the Lusitania, thinks that with proper equipment the proposed Amer ican south pole expedition to which peary has contributed so literally should succeed.
 The World will print tomorrow an ln- tervieW with the explorer obtained on i'oard ship and sent by wireless to Hal flax. He is quoted in part as follows
 With fair luck and proper equip nent there is no reason why an Amer ican expedition should not reach the south pole. l believe, however, that everything favors the success of Capt, British Antarctic expedition. Scott will ists, including mine, while the route of the American expedition will lead into an unexplored area,
 The success of the American expe- Gition will depend greatly upon it's equipment. The dogs which Command CT Peary took to the Arctic regions will be less valuable in the Antarctic because of the low flying drift there, when will get into the dogs eyes and render them rower1ess. The Ameri- eats will have greater success with poliies such as took than with dogs

BATTERY DAN IS
 DEAD IN NEW YORK

New York, March 2S.--City Magistrate Daniel E. Finn, popularly known as Bat tery Dan." well-1nown figure in po- litical life, died this afternoon at his home here after long illness.
 Battery Dan'' had pursued many wide- ly divergent callings from that of long, shoreman and saloonkeeper in his young CT days to member of the state assem- ply, deputy sheriff and municipal court pointed nim a member of the board of maglstrecy for the full term of 10 years. He was also a veteran of the civil war. As a magistrate he was most lenient Tn disposing of "drunks." and the man who was down and out but not with the reg ular souses.'' as he called them.
 Quit the tooze," was his advice to all. He incurred the enmity of General Bing- ham, former police commissioner. by dis missing a majority of excise cases brought before him, and in general he tempered his justice to the weaknesses of human nature.
 Proceedings to remove him as a magis- trate were begun by the state excise de- partment last February on charges that Ie had allow ed violators of the excise law to go free and had shown an unjust hostility to'the enforcement of the liquor tax law.
 He was at that time suffering from a nervous breakdown from which he never recovered. He received his nickname, Battery Dan,'' when as Tammany lead ar it,t tito St ri int aY,b T ofpU he saved that famous park from the en- croachments Of private corporation.
 MT. Finn was 64 years old and native of Ireland.
