ANTARCTIC TRIP.
shackleton, Britisher, Well Stacked
for Long journey.

A dispatch from London says Sir
Ernest Shackleton's plans for the
An.artic. exploration dash are now
practically complete. If all goes well
the expedition will leave that country
two or three weeks hence. His ship
is called the Endurance Although
small compared with the other Polar
vessels, she is splendidly built, able to
steam ten knots, and is the fastest
craft which has been employed in
this class Of work.
She will carry oil fuel as well as
coal briGuettes, and Shaekleton has
decided that the water tanks should
be utilized for the oil. For the water
supply two 1,000-gallon tanks are to
be installed on the deck, and one of
these will be equipped with steam,
so that in the Polar region ice can be
melted. It is the hope Of SHACK
Teton that the party may bring home
in one of these tanks some live speci-
mems of animal life in the Antartic.
About 100 dogs are expected from
Canada in day or two and one lot of
about 20 is to be trans-shipped to
Australia to join the Aurora-Shack-
leton's second vessel, and the Rosa
Sea party. The other 1ot-about so
will be sent on to Buenos Ayres to
await the arrival of the Endurance.
The aerial propelled auto sledges pur-
chased in Norway were great sue
cess in their trials, and Captain Orde
Lees, who is in charge Of the motors,
has gone to Switzerland to test them.

fined in the hospital Of the peniten-
tiary. We would report that we find
Mr. Richey suffering from marked
neurosis, that the same closely sim
ulates true paralysis. We are in
formed that Mr.. R.chey has had some
such trouble for the past ten years or
more, and close confinement is rem
dering it more marked. We do not
believe his condition will be improved
so long as Mr.. Richey remains pris-
oner in the penitentiary. We do be-
lieve that freedom, outdoor exercise,
ETC., would restore him to as good a
state of health as he has enjoyed for
the past ten years.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed)
"A. B. Knowlton, NJ. D..
Signed)
James H. Mcintosh, NJ. D."
The following is the statement Of
DR.. James H Mcintosh appearing in
the Record of July Is:
ut is true that l was appointed on
a committee by the governor to ex-
anime R. A. Richey. 1t is also true
that with the late DR.. A. B. Knowlton,
I did go to the penitentiary and make
such an examination. But it is not
true that his report of the said COM
mittee: signed by DR.. Knowlton and
myself in any way recommended a
pardon or parole of the said R. A.
Richey, the fact being that both DR..
.Knowlton and I fully agreed that his
paralysis was feigned."
The governor offered reward Of
SO to any man to prove that the sig
nature on the certificates was not that
of Dr.. Mcintosh and DR.. Knowlton,
saying: Unfortunately DR. McIn-
tosh is not here. The man that shot
him last night is not friend of
Blease," he stated, referring to the at
empted assassination of DR.. Mcintosh
as he was returning home early this
morning. Dr. Mcintosh is lying
wounded at Knowlton's Inhrmary.
Continuing, the governor said:
"No Blease man ever did trick like
that" Of Dr. Mcintosh the governor
said: Il will not abuse him. He is
a good man. i am sorry he is not
here so 7 could show him this certif-
cate face to face and ask him if he
signed it. If he said yes would then
ask him to explain his denial. If he
said he did not sign it 1 would ask
him to;eo-eperate with me in running
down the forger and putting him in
the penitentiary.

FATAL SHOOTING sCRAPE
Joe Woods of Hampton is Killed by
j, W. Owens.

G. W. Owens, generally known as
Butch" Owens, shot and almost in
stantiy killed Joe Woods not far from
Cummings, in Hampton county, Mon
day afternoon. They were riding to-
gether with others on their way from
Sand Hill church where they had at
tended a big meeting. 1t seems
that Joe Woods was doing the driving
and that he whipped up the mules,
which caused them to run too close to
a buggy going along in front, in
which Owens wife was riding.
This caused Owens to demonstrate
with Woods, and Lee Woods and Joe
Woods took offense at what Owens
said. Owens and the two Woods
brothers got out of the wagon, 1t Is
said, and the Woodses approached
Owen, VIII retreated, warning the
brothers not to come to him, until a
wire fence interfered. When Owens
could retreat no further, it is said, he
drew revolver and shot Joe Woods
dead, the bullet taking effect in the
mouth.

WORKING FOR HARMONY
UNCLE SAM TRYING TO UNITE
MEXICAN FACTIONS.
Foreign Nations Prepare to Present
Their Claims-Villa Holds Himself
Away From Carranza.

Peace in Mexico, it seems, is far
from assured and complications, both
internal and international, are rapid
ly entangling the situation, according
to administration officials, diplomats
and Mexicans of both factions who
are in touch with all phases of the
problem.
/, The United States government is
exerting every diplomatic influence
toward harmoniZing discordant ele-
ments, but certain aspects are admit
tedly grave. Official reports reveal
that the most threatening factor is
the aloofness of Gen. Villa from the
authority of Gen. Carranza. Another
vexing point is that Gen. Carranza,
according to his agents here, is dis
inclined to grant an amnesty to polit-
ical offenders and will insist on Oh
unconditional surrender by the Car
bajal government.
Unless Carranza Is willing to give
assurances that there will be no
wholesale arrests, executions and con-
fscation OF property when the Con-
stitutionalists enter Mexico City Pro-
yisional President Carbajal will rally
all the military elements at his dis
posal and resist to the end the Con-
stitutionalist advance.
The diplomatic representatives OF
Argentine, Brazil and Chile, who me
dated in the international dispute be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
have indicated through Secretary
Bryan their belief that a peaceful
transfer of authority could be achiev-
ed with little difficulty if any amnesty
was granted and proper guarantees
given.
Foreign complications are looming
up between Mexico and England,
France and Spain, and European
creditors generally who had financial
relations with the Huerta govern
ment England is preparing to ask
for satisfaction for the killing of W.
S. Benton, and France is making Wig
orous protest over the killing if two
Frenchmen at Zacatecas. The Span
ish government Is anxious that the
Spaniards driven from Torreon and
other points be reimbursed for their
losses. The grievance Of these coun-
tries are lodged against Gen. Villa
particularly, and Gen. Carranza, and
the estrangement with Villa has made
it difficult for the first chief to settle
them satisfactorily.
- No indication of Villas attitude
has come, but reliable adVices to the
Washington government are to the
effect that Villa has been concentrat-
ing his troops preparatory to making
vigorous demands upon Carranza.
The Washington administration
will insist that an amnesty be granted
as the most logical step toward peace.
Recognition will be withheld until
peaceful transfer of authority is ar
ranged between the Constitutionalists
and the Carbajal government.

FIGHT AT RIDGELAND.
Candidates Witness Battle Between
Officer and Bystander

Two damaged heads and three ar
rests were the results of difficulty
that furnished the only real excite
ment at the campaign meeting at
Ridgeland Wednesday, when the can
didates for State officers spoke to a
crowd Of not more than 400, one
third of whom were ladies and chill
dren. None of the candidates, how
ever, was involved in the trouble.
The fight took place in front OF the
speakers stand while Attorney Cen
eral Thomas H. Peoples was speak
ing, and started, according to eye
witnesses, when Policeman Bennett
arrested young Ernest Cooler for al
legged disorderly conduct, the latter's
father, it was said, undertaking to
interfere in behalf of his son. Ben
nett, it was further stated, then
struck the elder Cooler with his club.
Charles Cooler, it seems, took hand
about this time, and in the n1iX-up
Ernest Cooler secured the officers
club and planted blow on the lat
ters head.

WITHDRAWS NOMINATION
WILSON WILL NOT PUSH JONES
NOMINATION LONGER.
Longest Fight Of Administration Ends
When Chief Executive Calls Back
Name of Chicago Man.

| Maine VI -NS1s
President Wilson late Thursday
ended the bitterest fight of his ad
ministration by withdrawing the nom
nation of Thomas D. Jones of Chi
cago, to be member of the fedora
reserve board. Mr.. Jones had writ
ten urging this action
The message Of withdrawal reach
ed the Senate just as Senator Reed
of Missouri, one of the Democrats op.
posing confirmation of the appoint,
ment, was concluding vigorous de-
nunciation of the international Har-
vester company, of which Mr.. Jones
is director, and those responsible foI
its existence and operations. It ere
ated a mild sensation and cut short
debate that promised to run in
definitely.
With the brief message the presi-
dent sent copies Of Mr.. Jones letter
and his reply. Opposition to the
nominee had been based on his con-
nection with the Harvester company,
which is under indictment as trust.
The Senate ranking committee had
submitted a majority report adverse
to confirmation, signed by all the Re-
publican and two Democratic mem
bers. Mr.. Jones wrote that this re-
port was based on "a distortion of
facts and perversion of the truth.
At the White House it was said
The presidents action did not indi-
cate that there had been change in
his determination to insist upon the
confirmation of Paul NJ. Warburg,
whose nomination to the reserve
board board also is being opposed.
Nothing has been heard from Mr..
Warburg in regard to. his appearance
before the banking committee and
Senator O'Gorman, who is under
stood to have been endeavoring to
persuade Mr.. Warburg to change his
mind and accept the committees in
yitation, is not expected to return to
Washington until Friday.
While Senator Reed was speaking,
Secretary Tumulty held conference
with Senator's Hollis and Pomerene,
who with Senators Lee of MARYLAND
and Shafroth have been most active
in urging the confirmation OF Mr.
Jones. The presidents secretary had
not long been in conference with the
seators from Ohio and New HamD-
shire before the purpose of his mis-
sion was whispered about the Senate
lobby. In executive session a few
minutes late- the formal announce
ment of the withdrawal was received
without comment.
When the Senate adjourned, how
ever. there was a Democratic love
feast in the cloak room. Senator
Hitchcock, in speaking of the effect
of the message, said: The message
certainly lifted load from a great
many Democrats. 1t was great re-
lief to some who already know who
were still uncertain. am sure it is
g good thing for the Democracy.
President Wilson is said to have
been determined to press Mr.. Jones
nomination until Thursday when he
concluded that the antitrust pro-
gram might be endangered if the
fight in the Senate was continued.

after nightfall.
DR.. James Mcintosh, father Of DR..
James H. Mcintosh. made the follow

when he reached Knowlton's hospi-
tai after being shot:
"Dr. Mcintosh left Knowlton's hos

this morning. AS he was passing
along Marion street by the first Pres
byterion church a man stepped out
from behind large tree and called,
Hands up presenting pistol as he
did so DR.. Mcintosh grabbed the
pistol and grappled with the man. In
the scuffle the pistol was placed
against DR.. McIntosh's stomach and
fired one time. Dr.. Mcintosh stag
gered and fell to the ground. I'm
mediately the assailant left, crossed
the sidewalk and jumped the fence,
saying, Collie won't be bothered with
you Tomorrow Dr.. Mcintosh got
his own pistol out and fred twice as
his assailant got over the fence. An
instant later he fired the remaining
three chambers to attract attention.
The attacking party disappeared
through the Presbyterian grave yard.
"Dr. Mcintosh has never been in
the habit of carrying a pistol. but be-
ing suspicious for the last three
nights that he was shadowed he had
taken his pistol along with him
| It was announced at the hospital
later the wound was described as very
superficial. The doctors condition
was pronounced "splendid".
John X. Au!I, private secretary OF
Gov Blease, issued this statement:
"Gov. BIease regrets the occurrence
very much, as I do. I have very high
personal regard for Dr. Mcintosh and
tknow that the governor has also. The
governors Office will lend all possible
aid for the apprehension of the party
or parties guilty Of the assault
