MOUNT SHASTA GLACIER STARTING ON WARPATH
Ice Formation Moving Five Miles an Hour Crushing All
 Before It.

Yreka, Calif., Sept. 1.-The Mount Shasta glacier, dislodged by the long continued drought on the north side of the mountain, is mov- ing down the slope at a rate of five miles an hour, snapping off big trees in its path and thrustins i'm mense boulders before 1t.
 The movement began a short time after dawn and at noon the huge mass of ice was we'll within the tim Der line. Huge clouds of vapor are arising as the moraines of the glacier are being broken up by it's move ment and these clouds are forming one big cloud over the head of the moving mass.
 The journey of the glaciers can be seen 20 miles away. It is accom- panied by a distinct roar which also can be heard from a considerable distance.
 The glacier movement evidently is not related to the phenomenon of @ heavy mud flow on the opposite side of the moutain recently This flow is believed to have started from other ice deposits melting under many days of hot sunshine.

 or Attempt To Blow Up Jail
Building Housing Leopold and Loeb Closely Guarded All Night-Have Not Gone
 to Joliet

Judge John R. Caverly yesterday amidst the most unusual scenes that ever surrounded an Illinois court room, the youthful soions of old Chicago millionaire families still were the center of extraordinary precautions today.
 Throughout the night four auto mobiles carrying rife squads cruised closely about the old criminal courts building and the adjoining county jail. Stationed at intervals along the four block of streets bordering the connected buildings were uni formed policemen, and in front of the cell housing Loeb and Leopold heavily armed guards relieved one another In groups of four all night
 The authorities felt that the dan- ger to their charges had not been lessened by the passing of sentence, and scores of letters and telephone calls threatened shootings and dyna- mitings because of the life sentence rather than hanging decision by Judge Caverly. Great precautions were taken by the officers to pre- vent bomb placed or hurled.
 Caverly Goes Away
 Judge Caverly is en route to an undesignated vacation spot in the east. He begged that no effort be made to trace him, and said that he wanted to rest after the arduous and weighty duties that befelI him as the last effort of his term as chief jus tice of the criminal courts. Upon his return to Chicago, Judge Cayer- ly will assume a bench in the di- vorce courts.

Chicago, Sept. 11.--After a night in which a new threat to blow up the county jail brought Sheriff Peter M. Hoffman speeding into Chicago at midnight, Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr., upder sentence of life imprisonment for the murder of Robert Franks, IA years old, today awaited their removal to Joliet peni- tentiary. The 19 year old youths, who confessed they killed Ito get a thrill" amused themselves playing cards pending the start for Joliet which 1t appeared would not be be- fore or 8 p. m.
 Sheriff Hoffman disclosed the latest threat, repetition of many others made by cranks, he said.
 It was about 11:30 p. m. when he received the anonymous telephone call telling him that the jail was to be blown up.
 T jumped into my car and came 60 miles an hour to the jail, arriving about midnight, just to make sure that nothing had happened" he said. After a thorough inspection every thing appeared all right and I re- turned home."
 The sheriff said he expected to start for Joliet between ? and p. m.. with three automobiles in the official party, all guarded by heavily armed deputies. The advance car, hesaid, would be filled with officers armed with shot guns loaded with buckshot. In the second car Loeb and Leopold would ride with four armed guards. Another contigent of guards with buckshot charged guns would bring up the rear.
 The sheriff had the guards doubled in the alley at the rear of the jail yard. A crowd of about five hundred curious persons gathered outside the entrance to the jail but police de- tails kept them moving.

 MT. Pape on the contrary states that he IS opposed to the amend ment and If elected will oppose rati- fication on the grounds that there is too much tendency to interfere with the rights of individual states. Fur thermore," said Mr. Pape this morn- ing, If a widow is left with Is or 17 year-old son on her hands and wants him to help support her, there is no reason with all our state and city libraries, evening schools and correspondence courses, that he couldn't go ahead and get an edu- cation just the same."
 Miss Welles is a member of one of Newington's oldest families, which has lived in that town for gener- ations. She has been active in var ious forms of welfare and commun- ity work all her life, is active in the Newington Congregational church and heads the Connecticut Consum- CTS league.

 IN CHINESE INTERNAL AFFAIRS
 AFF|RMS FOREIGN MINISTER
FISHERMEN SPENT
 THREE DAYS IN D0RY Lost in Fog They Drifted About, Finally Found
 Portuguese Schooner

Boston, Sept. 1.-Two New foundland fishermen who were res- cued at sea last Sunday at the hour when memorial services were in progress for them at their home port of Grand Bank, N. E., were brought here today by the liner Davisian from Liverpool. The men, John Tibo and Dennis Drake, were taken in charge by the British con- sul and were to leave for their home late today on the steamer Digby, Boston for St. Johns, N. F.
 Drifting in a dory three days in dense fog, the fishermen kept their meager supply of food in reserve and took nothing but little water for sustenance. They refrained from rowing in order to husband their strength until on the night of the third day, the fog lifted and they sighted the Portuguese fishing schooner Senhora Du Gui. The schooner was becalmed and the men overlook 1t by rowing. They spent 12 days on the Portuguese craft be- fore the Davisian took them off last Sunday.
 Iibo and Drake were members of the crew of the Newfoundland fish, ing schooned Winifred Lee, which sailed from Grand Bank for Quereau Banks August 25. Both have been fishing more than 20 years. Tibo is married and has three children, while Drake has a wife and four children. Captain James Trickey of the Davisian took up a collection on board and presented the fishermen with funds to defray the expenses of their journey home.

 score of ditches and ei5 " miles of Long Island fields.
 It was all very jolly--a tremen- dous success-high highness af- firmed at the close, although no game had been brought in. Stand ing on the porch of his holiday home at the James A. Burden house, Prince Edward removed his black bowler, gave his sweating face and brow vigorous mopping, and assured Captain A. F. Lascelles that he had enjoyed himself thor oughly.
 The hunt, organized by the Meadow Brook Hunt club, started at 5:30 o'clock, at which hour 30 men and women. resplendent in the traditional scarlet of followers of the anicent sport, rode through the misty autumn morning to the Burden estate. The footing of the huntsman's horn aroused the prince, who soon appeared with Captain Lascelles. His highness wore khaki riding habit and a gay yellow sweater.
 It was lively party, although all members of it had danced late into the night at the Jericho home of Mrs. w. K, Vanderbilt II, where the prince was guest of honor. Ghost" handsome white hunter belonging to Harvey Ladew, was led out for the prince. He mount ed, the master of hounds footed his horn, and they were off.
 The flashing red of the hunters, the gliding thoroughbreds, the bay ing of the eager hounds, the dash through underbrush and timber whose dew-laden leaves flashed in the sun, brought smile to the princess lips. He remarked to g member of the party that it was all very like cub hunting. as the Sep tember sport is called. in his home land. He was impressed with the well-trained animals and the ability of the hunters to jump timber.
 Only once did Ghost" disappoint his rider. This was when he re- fused a try at fence just after he had skinned gracefully over an- other particularly high one. The royal rider urged his mount for a moment, but when he continued to hesitate, he rode around the bar rier and continued the chase.
 Three of the women were thrown, but none was hurt, although one was stunned.
 The hounds were unable to run down any one of half dozen cubs.
 Despite his early rising and his strenuous exercising, the prince was out again after a bath, rubdown and a light meal. He drove over to the J. S Phipps estate at Il o'clock and whirled into another game of polo.
 The hunt party included Sir Ash

Country Is Anxious, Nevertheless, Over Reports That U. s. And London H a we Talked Over Situa- tion.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Tokio, Sept. 11.--Japan has no in. tention of intervening in the do' nestle difficulties of China, Baror kijuro Shidehara, the foreign min. ister told the Associated Press toda, when asked to outline the Japanese governments policy in regard to the present civil war in China. '-
 The baron declined to comment further, asserting that his reply GOV. cred all the questions asked, includ- ing Japan's position in Manchuria respecting General Chang Tso-Lin and the South Manchurian railway.
 Although Japanese dispatches from Mukden state that Chang Tso. Lin is marching four brigades in the direction of Jehol, in northern Chihli, the best informed Tokio of- flcial opinion is that major hostilities on the Chihli-Manchurian front amounting to a final showdown be- tween Chang and General Wu Pei Flu are not likely at present.
 luS idlSlItSS Ol lile oedSOIl, tue recent floods and financial difficult ties on both sides are cited to sub stantiate this view.
 Anxiety Over Reports.
 Official statements of Japan's pol icy of neutrality and non-interven- tion do not hide Japan's anxiety re- garding reported interchanges be- tween Washington and London in respect to China, in which press dis patches, particularly those from London, indicate that positive mea- sures are being discussed.
 Japanese officials earnestly desire to remain in line with the powers, although worried over Chang's movements, which, very vitally af- feet Japan's position in Manchuria and are anxious to avoid commit ments to either Chinese party. . Japanese newspaper dispatches from China hint that General Wu Pei-Fu is receiving American sym pathy. if not support, but officials say this is not believable. At the same time they deny that any aid has been, or will be given Chang Tso-Lin.
 The Japanese newspapere' discuss ing the reported Anglo American interchanges, insist that Japan avoid intervention or participation. The Kokumin Shimbun, an independent paper, says the powers are confront ed with the momentous decision, Ja- pan must not join in intervention, which the kokumin says is inspired by American desire to protect the federal wireless contract for stations in the province of kiangsu and Brit ish railway building schemes in the lower Yangtze.
 Must Not Join.
 "Japan's choice is easy" says the Tokumin. "She must not overstep the limit of mere protection of her nationals; she must not join in any armed movement or threat of inter- vention."
 The Tokio Asahi says intervention would be a blunder, and any coun- try attempting it, is doomed to fail ure and loss.
 Baron Shidehara, the foreign min ister. and Jefferson Caffery, the American charge d'affaires con- ferred today regarding the situation in China.

Anxiety Unfounded

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 11.-Any anx- iety in Tokio that the Washington government is feeling its way to- ward some agreement among the powers interested in China for the protection of their nationals in that country during the new civil war disturbances, apparently is wholly without foundation.
 The Washington government not only has made no move to canvass opinion in foreign capitals in rela- ton to the present situation in China, but it has not been advised by any American diplomatic repre- sentative in Europe that there have been any conversations of such a character with any of the various foreign offices.
 So far as the Washington govern ment knows, therefore, there is no project in contemplation among the powers for changing the exist ing situation in China with regard to the protection of foreign lives and property in that country. The Picking diplomatic corps has for years functioneG in an informal concert of action agreement dating back practically to the days of the Boxer uprising in China.
 The necessity for this pooling of opinion and for similar, f not joint action, by the foreign diplomats ac- credited to the central Chinese gov ernment arose from the difficulty of communication between Picking and the other capitals of the world and the necessity for prompt rep- resentations in order that foreign lives might be jeopardized as little as possible in the numerous out breaks of violence that have oe- cured in many parts of China, both before and since the establishment of the Chinese republic.
 There is no prospect apparent that the Washington government sees any new avenue of approach 10 the problem that has always con- fronted 1t in China of dealing with
