Twenty-two others of the crew were left on Elephant Island on April g. The first attempt to rescue these men was made in June and the second attempt in July, both failing Cn account of the ice.
 Lieut.. Shakleton's exploring eXpe- dition ended last October when his ship, the Endurance, was crushed in Weddell ice foe. The ship remained together and drifted until amid winter when Shekelton and his party landed on Elephant Island in the South Shet- land group.

 Judge CoNiing Makes Address
 Judge J. T. Bowling made the open- ing speech Wh.ch was a powerful eX- pose and explanation of the proposed socalled local option act. Judge Cow ling said that the act was proposed by the men who expected to make money out of the Whiskey business. In order to enlist the aid of the voters in passing the measure they had sell ccted a plausible and high sounding name of Local Self Government He said that this argument was most de- oeptive, as the bill meant everything but local option. It was supposed that the bill would only abolish the state wide act \ reading of the bill re- Eealed what t really was.
 It wiped ont every prohibition act tha5 lad ever been enacted by any leg islature the three mile act the ten mile act. the Going act, and 9il others. Should Little R'ver county go Wet whislley could be sold in Ashdo#n oa every block even should every man and woman in the town oppose t. The same would b true Of Foreman.
 A petition wish only 5en per cent Of the voters of the county would force the county judge to call an election in ten days If he refused he would be guilty of 6 felony and sent to tie pen- itentiary. They could call an election in this way every 90 days, every month in the year until the voters be- came weary of going to the polls and the county would SC wet.
 If the county went wet the other s;de could not call an election for two years. lie said that under the old law the saloon was controlled by the s.sate: under this law the state would be at the mercy of the saloon. Under it's provision an otiieial violating it's provisions was guilty Of felony wl2ile a violation oi the whiskey law by blind tiger or otherwise would b guilty only Of a m'slcmeanor and fiuabe.
 It would allow women to sell whis- key Every ona knows what kind of women would engage in the business. Every resort would have it's bar 8 thing never tolerated before.
 The law would make it possible fer a distillery to be operated anywhere on every acre of our soil without pay ing one cent of license. either for mak ing or selling so far as the state Was concerned.

CONSIDERABLE INTEREST
 IN COMMITTEEMAN RACE

Little Rock, Jan. 22-There pro- mises to be considerable interest aroused in the race for Democratic National Committeeman from Ark ansas. At first it seemed that Vim cent Miles, the Little Rock attorney, who now holds that position, would have no opposition. He has already announced his candidacy and paid the fee of $75. But he is not to be per mitted to have the place without con- test, according to the announcement made yesterday by J. M. Barker, President of the Bank of Atkins, and former president of the Arkansas Bankers Association. He was a dele gate to the Baltimore convention in 1912, and was formerly member of the state Board of Charitable Insti- tutions. He is seriously considering the race, and will decide in few days.
