MacmiIIan's Message
Macmillan's message, on which
the society acted, after describing
the handicaps, said:
I'VE have been here at Etah
eighteen days. Two depots have
been established, only ninety MILES
from the ship base. We have a
thousand miles to go in addition to
another thousand to establish an
advance station. Since this must
be done in ten days we are now
wasting time trying to do the i'm
possible this season and defeating
all other objects of the expedition"
The other objects of the expedi-
ton, referred to by Macmillan, con-
template an examination of Morse
ruins in Greenland and Laborador,

GEORGIA WOMEN FIGHT
DUEL WITH KNIVES

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 19.-Home.
ward bound theater crowds were
treated to a rather spectacular fenc-
ing fest here when two young
women fought a duel with knives
and finger nails in a manner to in
dictate that talk of a weaker sex is
all the bunk. The feminine duel
lists were Mrs. Ethel Holcombe,
twenty.six, and Mrs. Billie Steph-
ems, twenty-five, both of Atlanta.
The young women, disheveled
and bleeding, were taken to the
hospital, Mrs. Holcombe with a
deep cut in her left arm, having
parried a thrust at her heart, and
Mrs. Stephens scratched and badly
battered.
About all the police could learn
was that the fight was the climax
of a feud. What engendered the
feud they did not know.

wild animals grizzlies and bob
cats included-are not dangerous, -
Mills told the tourists gathered be-
fore a loud speaker here. They
are merely curious. Therefore,
when counting these wild folk let
them make advances, and If you
are friendly these advances viii be
likewise. Instead of going into
the open heavily armed and fear
full of attack, take along your
camera and some food-peanuts,
salt. candy and bacon-because food
to an animal is the medium of
exchange.
Because we have come to re-
gard all WHO animals with ignorant
suspicion. we have been led to
shoot to kill" declared Mills In a
recent interview. I'VE could as
well shoot our neighbors as dan
gerous characters.
wild animals have been Cos.
siped about ruthlessIy,' he charged,
when in reality they are good
neighbors, friendly and extremely
curious. There is no excuse to
carry a gun into the wilds. There
are 1000 persons injured by guns
and not one by wild animals.
''In twenty-five years I have in
vestigated 100 reports of animals
attacking people" he continued
''In not single case have / found
truth in these stories. II, for in
stance, a Wyoming school teacher
catches a distant glimpse of a lobo
wolf, the story is broadcast far

told a few times the poor teacher
has been MANNED for life or is

boiler explosion last night on the
excursion steamship Mackinac
that was carrying 657 Pawtucket,
r. T., miIlworkers from an outing
here.
The explosion Of the boiler
rocked the ship from end to end,
threw the frightened passengers,
mostly women and children, into
wild panic.
10 Die i'm Hour and Half
Within the short space Of an
hour and a half early this morn
ing, death claimed nineteen Of the
victims. Up to midnight. five had
died. Two hours went by after
the nineteen passed away and
then death again visited the suf-
ferers, taking six more lives.
Death carried away nearly a
whole family at the naval hospital
Mrs. James Mccarthy, forty-0ne,
the daughter, Mildred, sixteen. and
the son, John, five, died. Mccarthy
and his thirteen-months' old baby
are on the danger list. Mccarthy
is the son of Chief of Police Nc
Carthy of Central Falls.
The blast then filled the decks
with hot water and kissing steam
that horribly scalded the helpless
passengers.
Graphing For Drowned
Searching parties were graphing
this afternoon In the vicinity of the
beached ship for bodies of several
believed to have drowned when
they leaped into the sea seeking
relief from the scalding steam.
Two are known to be missing.
In the confusion check-np of
those on board has been impossible.
The uninjured and the slightly
injured were taken to PawtucEet
last night by train. This also added
to the difficulty of making an ac-
curate estimate OF the missing.
The passengers filled the three
decks of the renodeled freighter
and were caught without warning.
Harbor craft of every description
rushed to the aid of the steamer.
Boats from war vessels at the
naval training station were manned
by bluejackets who boarded the
steamship and took off the injured

NATION LOSES BRILLIANT MAN

The resignation of Secretary of State Charles Hughes has
caused unusual regret. 1t is also regretted that our laws do not
provide proper compensation to public servants who can only
serve their country at a great personal financial sacrifice. For
nearly twenty years Mr.. Hughes has given himself to public
service, and the reason for his resignation is that he feels that
it is his duty to his family to retire to private life and resume
the practice of law.
Ambassador Frank B. Kenog, now at the Court of st. James,
as the British post is known in diplomatic parlance, has achieved
fame as a lawyer. kellogg is thoroughly versed in diplomatic
matters and his standing as a jurist is of the highest.
Charles Beecher Warren of Michigan, who has been ap-
pointed to succeed Harlan Fiske Stone, just promoted to a seat
on the United States Supreme bench, is another brilliant lawyer
who has faithfully and successfully served his country. From
a legal standpoint Mr.: Coolidge has secured the services of one
of the most brilliant lawyers in the country.
There is no doubt but that other changes will take place in
the Cabinet. Some of these may occur on the 18th of march and
some on a later date.

RESPONSIBILITY RESTS WITH PEOPLE

Law enforcement rests with the people and not the legis-
latlve or even the administrative office of the government. The
will for law enforcement must originate with the people and
without their support, the statutes of cities and of the nation
and the ordinances of the cities and towns become mere printed
words and phrases. This thought. from the first has been
prominent in all the public expressions of President Coolidge
1t IS the underlying motive of the recent conference which he
neid IN washington with representatives of the committee of
1000. When men like Judge Ebert H. Gary, the head of numer-
GUS industrial organizations, and John D. Rockefeller, J, who
dertaklngs and who yearly give millions of dollars to worthy
causes, step forward to advise the President that the people are
ready to obey as well as enact laws, we can well consider that
the tide has turned. 1t is not to be ignored, of course, that
this demonstration on the part of the people has developed, in
part, at least, because of the knowledge that at the White House
there was a President who from the first has been pledged to
the observance of all laws.
