Sir Francis Younshusband Will At
tempt Climb of Mt. Everest.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Mt. Everest.
the Himalayan peal called 'the roof
OF the world which Sir Francis
Younghusband, the British soldier
explorer. will attempt to climb next
man.
Towering above the frontiers
OF the hitherto forbidden land of
Tibet and the remote province of Ne
pal, India, another land OF mystery,
the difficulties in even approaching
Mr.. Everest have been sufficient to
BATTLE explorers.
The worlds highest peak lies in
Tibet north of the British Indian Dor
der, yet, so far as known, no Euro
pean has ever approached nearer than
60 miles from it's base and few trav-
elers have ever seen its upper slopes.
The attempts which have been made
to ascend some of Mt. Everest's sister
peaks of the Himalayas have usually
been made through Nepal because ac-
cess to them through Tibet was not
open. The approach to Mt. Everest
through Tibet is said to be more ac-
.cessible and present greater prospects
of success than from the Nepal side.
Sir Francis Younghusband announc-
ed that the Tibetan government had
granted him permission to attempt the
ascent of the mountain by the Tibet
an route II was Sir Francis, who as
colonel commanding a British mission
TO the Forbidden. City of Lhasa in
1903-02, opened Tibet to civilization.

BRITISH EXPLORER WILL TRY TO
SCALE WORLDS HIGHEST MOUNTAIN

Everes, famous British surveyor
general of India, is the highest known
mountain in the world. Its trigonom

able height is 29,141 feet. The next
known highest of the Himalayan
peaks are Kinchinjunga, 28.225 feet
tude is 28,191 feet.
The intrepid Duke of the Abruzzi
who reached the top of Mt. ST Elias
in Alaska (1S.O24 feet) and who at
one time held the record of "farthest
north" in Arctic exploration, tried to
climb K-2 or Bride peak, in 1909 but
failed because from whatever point OF
the compass he advanced he could
find no way up to attain the summit.
NJ 24600 feet he and his compan-
ions were in good physical condition
although progress was slow and labor
ious; thick mist warned them that
to go on would have been madness
This achievement of the Italian ex-
plorer, is the worlds record for noun
tain climbing. Bride peak is in the
Kahakoram Himalayas. Besides it and
it's two higher sister peaks. there are
in the Him'alayas no less than IS
peaks above $4,000 feet, As above 25,-
900 feet, 16 above $4,000 feet and five
about 1000 feet.

most ancient as well as fascinating
forms of adventure. Its chief dan
gers are avalanches, landslides fall

CHAINED NEGROES
THROWN OFF BRIDGE
Witness Describes Killing OF
Two of Eleven Victims on
Georgia Peonage Farm.

Covington, Ga.-Fear for his own
life was the motive that prompted
Clyde Manning, negro farm boss, TO
help kill eleven negro farm hands en-
ployed on the Jasper county plantation
of John S. Williams, the negro told
the jury In the trial of Williams in
Newton County Superior Court here.
Manning asserted on cross-eXamina-
ton he did not want to help kill them,
but was afraid to disobey Williams,
who, he declared, was trying to do
away with the negroes for fear they
might testify regarding alleged peon-
age conditions on the Williams farm.
"'They want a-bothering me-" said
Manning, coal black, short, stockily
built man of about $50 pounds, land l
didn't want to get 'em out of the way"
but, he added later. "Ar. Johnny said,
It's their necks or yours
The negroes met death shortly after
federal authorities started an investi.
cation of alleged peonage on the farm,
six of them, according to Manning,
being chained to rocks and thrown
alive into rivers, and five knocked in
the head or shot and buried on the
farm.
Williams is on trial charged with the
murder of Lindsey Peterson, one Of
three of the negroes alleged to have
haan hroupht info Newton county and
drowned, and the defense sought TO
confine the witness to his account Of
Peterson's death and to bar him and
two federal agents from testifying
to peonage conditions. Judge John Il.
Hutcheson overruled both motions,
and Green +. Johnson, chief counsel
for Williams, Indicated he would APP
peal on these grounds In event Of con-
victlJn of Williams.
