SHACKLETON OFF AGAIN
 ON SOUTH POLE TRIP

London, Sept. 19.-Sir Esrnest shac- kleton and the members of his trans antarctic expedition left London yes- terday in two sections for the South Polar region. One party, headed by Sir Ernest Shaelzleton, departed for South America; the other half of the expedition left for Ross Sea, on the New Zealand side of the Antarctic, by way of Tasmania.
 Sir Ernest hopes to meet the Ross Sea contingent in April of next year; or, failing in that, by March of 1916.
 The Shackleton section will have 70 dogs and also motor s1eighs. The other party will have 26 dogs.
 One great difficulty which confront ed the expedition was the lack of sci entif1c instruments These had been ordered in Germany, but had not been delivered because of the war; and 1t was necessary to replace them in Eng land.
 The Ross Sea, party will board the exploration ship Aurora at Hobarts- town, Tasmania. Sir Ernest Shackle- ton hopes to leave Buenos Ayres Oe-A tober 1 Sby the ship Endurance, which now is on the way to South Anne riea.

RATE CASE TO BE
 REDEEMED OCT. i9


 washington, Sept 1s-The Inter state Commerce Commission today decided to reopen the eastern ad- vance rate cases and will begin hear ings here on October 19- A formal order. to that effect was prepared
 The decision of the commission comes upon the recent application of the railroads which was made after President Wilson has received re- presentative committee of railway presidents at the White House How far that conference may have gone toward preparing the way for re- opening of the case is not known. It was said at the time that the railway men asked the President to appeal to the country to treat the railroads in a spirit of cooperation and the President responded by sending a syrnpathetic letter to Chairman Frank Trumbull, of the Chesapeake & Ohio
 The railroads also asked the com mission to modify it's recent decision which granted increases west of Pittsburgh and denied all increases between the Great Lakes and the Att lartic seaboard. Under the law, the commission cannot modify that or der without hearings; the decision to reopen the case brings the whole question up again for review in which the railroads will press for the five percent increases throughout the fer rftory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac riy- CTS.
