.sHACKLETON OFF
To EXPLORE SEA
At SOUTH POLE

BY United Press.
London, Aug. 20.-Amid the cheers
OF thousands OF well.wishers lined
along the Thames embankment, and
the frantic footing OF ships sirens.
the nptly.nnmed Quest commanded
by Sir Ernest Shackie:on, started to.
day on the first leg of a 3O,OOO-mile
Voyage OF discovery In the uncharted
seas of the frozen south.
Romance and science is bound up
IN this new adventure In the Polar
regions. The journey Will take Sir
Ernest 10000 miles IN the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, and in the un.
charted seas Of the South Pole The
explorers are making for the Ender-
by Quadrant, the Antarctic. south OF
South Africa. Some ninety years
have passed since ship was in
these waters.
The Quest will also search for the
lost Pacific island OF Tunaki, men.
toned In missionary history and
native legend, but never seen; in
search also for secret seas, whose
existence is believed but not proved.
The ship is barely 200 tons net.
Her length is Ill feet, and depth IL
feet. Her sides are two feet thick
of oak, pine and fir, and her bows
are shod with steel. A remarkable
feature of the expedition will be the
vessels lack of a crew-a crew, that
is, distinct from the scientific works.
The staff of the expedition will man.
age the ship themselves.
The British admiralty has lent an
oceanographical equipment, and the
air ministry has lent two officers
who will do kite and balloon work.
sounding platforms have been built
on the vessel, which will enable the
scientific staff to sound the ocean
to depth of six miles, half a mile
more than has ever been done be-
fore.
Arrangements have been made SO
that the vessel can steam for 10000
miles without re-coaling. A seaplane
is housed on a special deck, and two
moving picture men are among the
staff. The Quest will have on board
stores for two years.

Vaughn in the fourth on his try Cor
Roche at the plate. Two hits were
chalked up against the youngster in

high for Heinie to field in time to re-
tire the runner.

first game and he also would have

Highlander counters were scored af
ter balls had been dropped in the out
field, both of which were easy
chances. He held the Iighlanders to
five hits scattered through the first
five innings at the rate of one a clip.
The first game was a nip and tuck
affair, Beasly's double in the seventh
with two down scoring the winning
run. The Highlanders counted once
in their second when, with two down,
Frank Osborn dropped Corners easy
fly. Kowalski came through with a
double to right-centcr and Corners
checked in at the pay station.
The Smokers took the lead in their
second after one was away EcholS
was safe at first when Cashion
dropped Kowalski's toss to get the
runner. Doe Nance tripled to right

cult. Stewart sent a liner to left for
one base and Nance trotted in for the
second counter
The Highlanders tied it up in their
third when Calvo dropped Reeds

.RACEY MUSIC CO.
 OPENS TOMORROW

The Racey Music company. one of the new mercantile establishments of the city. will open for business to-. morrow morning at 27 East Adams street under the direction of c. l.. Racey. Racey is the manufacturer of the Silverola photograph. the plant being in Kansas City. Mo.
 Mir Racey came to Phoenix be- cause of the climate and his inten- ton of retiring from business. but he saw an opportunity here to introduce his phonograph and after having ob- tained a location for the new busi- ness he shipped a carload of his in- struments to this city for the open ing of his store tomorrow. In con- nection with the sale of phonographs he will conduct a record exchange. for every type of needle record.
 That Mir. Racey will be a perma- nent and valuable addition to the population of the city Is shown by the fact that he is building two du- plex houses here, one at 543 West Moreland street and the other at S13 West Mcdowell street. When these buildings are completed the same contractors who are building the du- plex houses will start work on two four-apartment buildings for Mir. Racey, as well as a private residence for him.

 WORK OV CHINESE
 LIGHTING PROJECT

Announcement was made yester- day by H. E. Linden, vice p:c,,.se mt of the Beckman and Linden Enzin- eering company. San Franc'sco, en- gineers of the Paradise Verde project. the Carrick- Mangham Agua Fria Lands and Irrigation company. ard the Farm Builders corp0rasion at Maricopa. that E. W. Bea-dsley. con struction manager for the company. has left San Francisco fo.. Baibin, Manchurla, to take charge of a con tract recently awarded Bsckman ard Linden by a Chinese syndicate for the construction of a power plant. street railway system and lighting system in the Manchuria1 ,Iry.
 The contract was ava led 10 Beck man and, Linden after 'on. series of negotiations conducted for them by M. H. Bunting. representing the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Man churia- Work on the first unit of the proposed construction-the power plant and part of the street car ana lighting system-will begin i'm mediately. it was announced ye yte-- day, and will entail an initial exoen- allure on the part of the syndicate of about s2.000,000. This work is to be followed at once by the completion of the contract, which will bring the contract price of the improvements to about s5.o0o.ooo.
 The importance of the contract lies in the fact that it is the first Amer ican contract to be awarded in Man churia, and is an indication os the opportunities which await American capital and enterprise in that CD 5rtion Of the world. In notifying Beckman and Linden of the awarding of the contract, Bunting said:
 1f this street car and lighting con- tract should be successfully carried out it will be the largest American undertaking in Manchuria, and it will mean much not only for the company that is building it but for America as the people here know only England and Germany, and know very little of our ability to carry out and develop big things
 As soon as 1t was announced in Harbin that Beckman and Linden had been awarded the contract. the Japa- nese-owned newspapers there took up vicious series of attacks upon American interests there. alleging that the Chinese had sold out to American capital. This information was given to Linden by Bunting. The syndicate behind the contract consists only of Chinese. and Is if nanced entirely by Chinese money. It's name. as nearly as it can be translated, is 'The Harbin Joint Stock Company of Electrical Con- struction" Harbin is city of 500 ,000 people on the Sungari river. a tribu- tary of the Amur. and is commer- cial. industrial and railway center for that part of China.
