CAMP NO. l, MOUNT EVEREST,
Tibet, June 1.-The British Mount
Everest expedition again has evacuated
camp No. and has returned to camp
No. /.
The move was not caused by hard
ships, but by reports Of great activity
In India of the monsoon, which Is
advancing northward, and by con-
siderable snowfall on the mountain.
The snow makes any attack on the
summit impossible fer some time to
come.
The climbers and porters, although
strong and cheerful anywhere, are
better able to retain their fitness
at camp No. /. A moderate blizzard
was blowing from the southeast as
we left camp No. 8.
Abnormal conditions have impeded
progress of the expedition so far this
year. The weather has been excep-
tionally mild throughout the past
month. This has enabled US to es-
tablish glacier camps with none of
the hardships experienced in pre-
vious years.
A disadvantage was that the strong
northwest winds, which normally pre-
cede the monsoon, were entirely ab-
sent this year. In consequence, snow,
deposited on the mountain by recur-
ring disturbances from the west, piled
up to a considerable depth where
normally it would have been blown
away. This rendered the climbing OF
the upper slabs impossible.
Our first assault party was in po-
sition on the north col by May Is, a
week earlier than was originally plan
ned Had the snow cleared Mount Ever
est might have been climbed in ideal
conditions. But fresh heavy falls OF
snow, to a depth of 2 feet. compelled
a descent in bad conditions on May
18 to avoid being cut off.
On May 19 came the first report
from the meteorological office at Ali
pore of conditions favorable for for
nation OF the monsoon to the south
of the Bay of Bengal. We usually
expect an interval of at least a fort
night between this warning and the
arrival of the monsoon in the Him
RlayaS.
But, owing presumably to the alb
sence Of the normal opposition of
northwest winds, the monsoon ac-
tually reached the Himalayas in great
strength in four days. All previous
experience shows that the slopes of
the north col are unsafe as soon as
the monsoon reaches them. This
was the cause of fatal avalanche in
1922, in which seven native porters
perished, and caused a great ava
lanche during E. E. Symptoms recon-
naissance expedition last year. Both
avalanches crossed the only route we
can follow.
Our one hope now is temporary
break in this very early active mon
soon and the removal of the snow by
northwest winds.
If necessary, the north col will be
climbed at night when frost binds
the slopes. On the upper slopes, near
the summit, snow makes Norton's
Traverse utterly impractical. An ef-
fort may be made to ascend the Sec
ond step on the main ridge.
We shall not abandon the struggle
until all possibilities have been ex-
plored.

D. E. VOTE HOPE
GIVEN ALLEN

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-The
District of Columbia today was a
step closer to the long7sought vote,
with the Democratic national con-
vention adopting a resolution call
ing on Congress to appoint a COM
mittee to study and report back
on the matter.
Although losing a hard fight to
have national representation for
the District incorporated as a
plank in the party platform, Dis
trict Commissioner George E.
Allen expressed himself as pleased
with the resolution adopted.
George Marshall, a delegate,
read the resolution at the session
last night and it was unanimously
adopted.
Commissioner Allen declared
that the fight will be continued
until residents of the District have
been granted the vote and repre-
Sentation in the Senate and
House.

CAP0NE PLOTS
REVEALED

CHICAGO, June 26 QN.SO
AL Capone, who repeatedly is re-
covering satisfactorily from a stab
wound inflicted by a fellow pris-
oner in Alcatraz prison, was twice
before the object of murder at
tempts, it was revealed here today
by two convicts recently paroled
from the Governments Devils
Island" in San Francisco Bay.
The one-time Chicago vice lord
refused for weeks to drink from
an individual cup or to eat food
that was not served from the COM
mon dish after lye was put in his
coffee, they revealed. Capone
was saved from being poisoned by
q prison informer, the paroled con-
victs stated.
On the second occasion, the
convictS said, Capone successfully
fought off an assailant who at
tempted to choke him to death.
The PAROLES said Capone is
hated by his fellow inmates who
have vowed to "get" the former
gang czar. They gave three pos
sible reasons for the widespread
ennnity against Capone-revenge
for the "spot" murder Of rela-
tives or friends during the gang
wars; Capone's air of superiority
and contempt for minor Grim
inals, and his refusal of re-
quests for loans despite his re-
puted wealth.
His brother, Ralph, visited
Washington last month, it was
learned, in a vain attempt to
have AL transferred to another
Federal prison.
Prison guards lean backwards
in their diSciplining of Capone,
it was said, because of their
fear that should they grant him
even a semblance of favor it
will be rumored they are on
his payroll.

 Susie shot him a coquettish glance. "Go on with you, MT. Pat | Then she sobered. T ain't sayin' what was the cause O the row.
