THE SUNDAY OREGOXTANV POKTXAND, FEBRUARY 14, 1915. EXPLORER WRITES DIARY OF VOYAGE Shackleton Tells of Finding Stowaway on Board and of Putting Him to Work. DARK DAYS ARE FORESEEN Start From Argentlnalo SohIIi Pole Tempered by Thoughts of Home. Crew Make Merry and Their Chief Philosophizes. (Special cable o the New Tork World. CopvrlfM. 1R15. by the Pre" Publishing Company. Published by arrangeraeut with the New Tort World.) LONDON, Feb. 7. Following are extracts from Shackletons diary up to November 8, Just received in London: October 26. We were timed to, leave the naval dockyard wharf at Euenos Aires at 10:30. I gave the slsnal to the two tusra and wo cast oft amid loud cheers from a crowd of English and Argentine spectators. The cheer ing was led by Sir Reginald Tower, the British Minister, to whom we owe much during our stay at Buenos Aires. Ha has done everything possible to assist us to get facilities from the Ar gentine authorities, who have cour teously done all they could to help us. As we drew away from the wharf massed bands of the Argentine navy struck uo "God Save the King, a pe culiarly welcome sound in these times and of greater signilicanco as a fare well to the expedition. Ctvlllzatloa Left Behind. To the cattain of the dockyard. Cap tain Malbrau, I am greatly indebted for constant help while alongside tne yaro. and this tinal courtesy adds to our ap nrtfln t inn. Evening drew in calm, clear and beautiful, and we looked our last on Buenos Aires, mlraged up for a long time. Now we have severed ail con nection with civilization save lor tne little we shall see in Soutli Georgia: but if the wireless receiver works all rieht we may hear briefly, even down in our Winter quarters, what takes place in the outer world thousands of miles away. It Is wonderful how. after all, we l ave got everything on board and our 9 dogs safely housed in kennels on the upper deck. All the work of prep aration is now over, all the prelim inary strain is finished and there now tomes the actual work itself. Oooil Fight Mill Re Made. As I stood tonight at 8 o'clock and looked over tho calm sea and upward to the great stars blazing in a velvet tky my mind flew rorwara 10 xne un known ways of the lonely tracts yet awaiting the feet of man and I won dered how our little parly, now play ing mouth organs, banjos and man dolins, would fare in the long, dark davs to come. The fight will be good. October 27. The dogs are. of course, an important part of the ship's com pany. Like all Eskimo dogs their fa vorite pastime is snarling and fighting, of which the latter, at least, has to bo stopped whenever possible. They soon got to know -the crew and members of the expedition, but had no fancy for strangers. The pilot who took the boat from Buenos Ayres. for instance. I heard a scuffle and a vehement protest from Dim on one occasion: "Oh. you ." Pilot Learns That Duel II if. Then to me. "I go lookee the com passes he bites. No mind one. but two. three, four too muchec. No likee. Look my coat." After that he gave our little pets a wide berth. Wo dropped the pilot at T.ecalda Lightship at 10 A. 31.. so are now on our own hoolt. The wind is little stronger and we are going along nice ly Such a difference to the second day out In the Nimrod. when we were in a hurricane. This afternoon we found a stowaway who was in a little dark locker. It might have been thought that every square inch of space on the vessel was occupied, yet this enterprising young ster managed to find room to hide, lie seems a healthy youns sailor and will be useful. I asked him why he stowed away. He said he thought it was his only chance of netting on the expedition. I have made him cook's helper. Laniclns Kelt for Home. Oct. 30. The dogs are getting on well, thanks to the great care that the whole staff Is bestowing upon them, hut thev arc. of coiuse. feeling the long period on board and will be ail the better for a run on the island. So far everything hVs been idyllic. If one only had not the longing for the far-off lands from which wo will be awav for so long. Oct. 31. AU hands were engaged until noon on various duties. After tht. it beinr Saturday, no work was done and this was pleasant for the men. as it was raining and drizzling all d;iv. The wind from the sea made it chilly, and the watch below amongst the scientific staff would occasionally come along the warm alleyway and look up at their fellow scientists clad tn oilskins, not too warm. At the wheel Marston appeared in a fur rug to cause jealousy. All hands seemed very happy and contented, good food and plenty of It being a great factor. Nov. 2. The ship is pitching and rolling heavily, but shipping no water. The movement of the ship throws the forward dogs out of their kennels and keeps them awake at night, but they generally are quiet. The hands for ward seem very pleased with their quarters and they ought to be. Here wo are in a ship of 230 tons with at least 20 people to work her. Nov. 6. We are safely in port now. clm and still, a pleasant chango after the rolling of the past week. We landed all the dogs, at which we spent a strenuous but careful forenoon; .un chaining and running with them off the ship and round the bay to the hill side, where we tethered them to a long pepged-out wire. Nov. . The first impression I had of South Georgia was the unbearable stench from the whale factory. There were the great carcasses being flayed, while around the bleeding mass of blubber and flesh pigs were rooting. It was not a pleasant sight, coming fresh, as we did. from the great sea. where the bosom of God is in the wild west wind that sweeps the sea floors white. However, apart from the unpleasant mell and the crude and unsatisfactory method of cutting up a whale for its blubber, everything here has been most gratifying and we have been partakers of that Insistent Norwegian hospitality that so distinguishes th Scandinavian. It is strange to think and realise that a sub-antarctlc island should have a population in the Summer of over 2000 souls and that at every station the manager's home is. as the advertis ments of the modern hotel say. "Re plete with every comfort." F.tortrtc IJghta Ererr" her. There is electric light everywhere even tho pig-styes and henhouses are lighted with electricity. Pigs are the principal domestic animals on the island, though there are sheep, goats, reindeer, two ponies, cattle, a ouii ducks, hens and a monkey. The island also boasts of a magistrate, who may be seen sculling his official boat, a red-painted praam, toward incoming steamers. There are only about 20 Britishers on the Island, though it belongs to Great Britain. All the rest are Nor wegians except for a stray Individ ual from some other nation. The weather is very changeable and inhabitants who have been 10 years here cannot forecast it an hour ahead. This is largely due to the mountainous formation of the island, wlthi many glaciers distribute- over it, causing sudden changes of temperature as the wind sweeps over them. November 8 The dogs, which will be our mainstay on the transcontinental iournev. are now In good condition There are about five invalids, due mainly to fighting, but that Is nothing. They feed daily on Iresn wnaie meat, which does them a world of good. BOBBERS YET AT LARGE FEW CLEWS LEFT BY LOOTEIIS AT EAST SIDE POSTOFFICE. Taxlcab Thought to Have Been Ised for Escape Loss la $135.05 In Cash and &E25.75 in Stamps. A day of thorough search for the robbers who entered the postofflce sub station at East Alder street and Union avenue early Friday evening was bar ren of results, not even a suspect be ing caught in the police dragnet. The men left lew clews ior ine aeiecuves to work on. The selection of booty and clean es cape point to the work of professionals but minor details led to a suspicion that the men might have been ama teurs. One was that they had neglected to search 31r. Ott, superintendent of the substation, though they forced him to open doors and handcuffed him to a rack. Had he possessed a gun, he might easily have dropped one of the robbers as they left through the door. Police in surrounding cities have been notified to watch for men answer ing the description of the robbers, and circulars have been sent broadcast by Chief Clark with the descriptions of the men, notation of the money taaen anrt the amounts of stamp stolen. 3Hss Zillah Kirblson. daughter of the proprietor of the confectionery store at Grand avenue and .asi Aiaer sireei, reported that she saw a taxicab drive awav from tho substation shortly be fore" 7 o'clock. The machine drove up on the opposite side of tne street irom the substation and crossed over to re ceive its occupant, or occupants. It went south on Grand avenue toward Morrison street.

WITNESS AGAINST BECKER RECANTS Negro Makes Affidavit That His Testimony Against Po liceman Was False. CONVERSATION IS DENIED w York Prosecutor Says Witness Had Been Threatened and That Money Was Offered Him to Make Retraction. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 13 John B. Johnston, a New York lawyer, suid here tonight that James Marshall, the negro who was a witness in the case of Charles Becker, under sentence of death for the murder of Herman Rosen thal in New York, had signed a state ment tonight in the form of an affi davit to the effect that he swore false ly at the second trial of Becker. Mar shall was arrested here last night on a minor charge and was released to day. His wife is alleged to have made a remark in the presence of a news paper man that Marshall had been an important witness in the Becker case. When seen later in the day, accord ing to Mr. Johnston, Marshall said he had sworn falsely in the Becker case. 3Iarshall is said to have testified in the case that he saw Becker talking to Bald Jack" Rose. "Bridgie Webber and "8am" ScheDos. In the affidavit signed by 3Iarshail tonight, Mr. John ston said, Marshall declares he did not know Rose, Webber or Schepps. When asked whether he attached any significance to 31arshall's alleged state ments, Mr. Johnston saia ne regaraeo them as "important." Mr. Johnston hurried to pnuaaeipnia at the request of Becker's chief coun sel, who had been informed of Mar shall's statements. Marshall is not under arrest. PROSKCUTOK HIXTS BRIBBRY Marshall Said to Have Made Affi davit Without Request. NEW YORK. Feb. 13. District At torney Perkins declared in a statement tonight that the testimony given by James JIarshall at the trial of Police Lieutenant Becker was secured from Marshall substantially as he afterwards gave it on the witnesss tand, in the form of an affidavit, within 10 min utes after he was brought into the Dis trict Attorney's office on his arrival in this city, before the trial. Mr. Perkins went into various points in the affidavit alleged to have been made by Marshall in Philadelphia. 'The statement made by Marshall is absolutely false," declared Mr. Perkins. insofar as it says that he was re- ouested to give his testimony. He was never requested by an Assistant Dis trict Attorney to do so. w nen ne reached here he was taken to the Dis trict Attorney's office and questioned about what he knew of the Becker rase. In ten minutes he had made a statement that was reduced to the form of affidavit, substantially identical with the testimony he gave at the trial. Ever since last August we nave known directly from him that money was being offered him to make and sign a statement to the effect that the txatimonv srlven by him at the trial was untrue. We also know from him that he was being threatened and was n constant fear of bodily harm unless he- would make a retraction. He was told that such retraction would not hurt him: that there was money in It and that he would get hurt if he didn't make it." Mr Perkins said that on Monday the papers in the Becker appeal probably would be filed in the District Attorney's office for the argument, which will take place about the middle of March before the Court of Appeals in Albany. He did not deny that the affidavit said to have been made by Marshall in Phila delphia might bo brought forward as ground for a motion for a new trial, but he thought it probable In sucn an event the Court of Appeals hearing the mo on would demand" the presence of Marshall himself to corroborate the affidavit. TENTS FOR POOR NEEDED Alberta Club Has 6 6 Lots Offered and Applications Are Filed. Sixty-six vacant lots in various parts of the city are available for poor fam ilies. Mrs. Josephine Sharp, who heads the movement of the Alberta Women's Improvement Club to find vacant lots upon which to erect tents for free use of destitute families, reported yester day that property owners are co-oper ating remarkably well in the move ment.

"D EAR Sir: You will be shot at midnight if you do not put a Jitney sign on your auto. Black Hand, I. W. W.. and Robbers' League." The look of a hunted man came into tho eyes of District Attorney Evans as he read this note by the dim light of a street lamp. He scowled darkly, looked furtively about him. and his hand automatically went to his hip pocket. He cranked his machine and whirled away In the darkness. The chief prosecutor's eyelids were heavy when he appeared at his office the next morning. "Read this," he said curtly, throwing the scrap of paper in front of Thomas Maguire, his confidential secretary. "Think it's genuine?" inquired Mr. Maguire as he stifled a yawn. "Certainly," responded the chief. "Everybody that lives out my way waits every evening until I get through at the office to ride out with me. I always have a load of neighbors." - "Oh, you suspect a Jitney man of sending this, then?" "No. Certainly not. One night a stranger saw the crowd getting into my car. He climbed in, too. After a while he asked to be let out Then he handed me a nickel. I took it My neighbors saw and told their families. They told other families. Their sons were at the Courthouse yesterday for the Lincoln's day exercises. The boys knew about the nickel. They're not afraid of less majeste." "Then what?" queried the secretary. "I'm for a strict law against all forms of kidding,'" announced the District Attorney as ho disappeared into his inner sanctum. E JUDICIAL BIAS IX CONTEMPT PRO CEEDINGS CHARGED. Rulings Against Union Enumerated In Congressional Inquiry Into Fed eral Official- Record. PARKERSBURG. W. Va., Feb. 13. That Federal Judge Dayton, of tne Northern District of West Virginia, from the bench referred to members of the United Mineworkers of America as "criminal conspirators" ' was the testimony of Attorney Palmer, or Wheeling, at the session tonight of the Congressional subcommittee which is investigating Judge Dayton's offi cial record. Palmer, who was on the stand more than two hours, told of Judge Dayton's rulings against members of the miners' union. Several defendants in the eon tempt proceedings arising out of the suit of the West Virginia-Pittsburg Coal Company against the miners' union went on the stand and told of Incidents in Judge Dayton's courtroom. Palmer said Judge Dayton, in his opin ion, had shown judicial bias in the contempt cases. He declared that Judge Dayton from the bench told him he had" made untrue statements. Attorney Clyde B.

Duty tiot Alone to Meet Emergencies but Ss Far as Possible to Pre vent Them From Arising;. CHICAGO. Feb. 13. "Under the Fed eral Reserve system we snail see no more financial panics," said Charles S. Hamlin, governor of the Federal Re serve Board, at the annual banquet of the Chicago Real Estate Board tonight. He added that conditions just prior to the opening of the Federal Reserve banks in November were "probably the most ominous in the history of our country." Discussing the true function or tne new banks, he said: "Their duty is not alone to meet emer gencies, but, so far as possible, to pre vent emergencies from arising, ana while ordinarily they do not and are not intended to compete with commer cial banks, yet occasions may arise where such competition, through the exercise of their open market powers, will be necessary for the protection of the people of the United States. "It is often said that the J eaerai Re serve banks are bankers' banks, but this Is true only to the extent that they deal primarily with the member banks. Their true function Is to protect tne interests of the people."

WISE, SOT SEEN RECENTLY. Possibility of Mental Derar.rcnent or Voluntary Departure Proves l'm zle to Fellow-Officers, J. M. Wise, patrolman, of the police moral squad, has been missing since last Wednesday, and his fellow-officers are puzzled as to whether the man met with foul play, wandered off during mental derangement or left volunta rily. Wise was last seen by the police Wednesday,-when he testified before the Federal grand jury. He disappeared from his home at East Fifteenth and East Washington streets that night, it is said. The man's work in connection with the moral squad had won him a num ber of enemies, and it is sid that threats had been uttered against him. Tho police are investigating these to determine if he met with foirl play. Another theory is that he strayed off while suffering from temporary mental derangement. He took the Sergeant's examination on February 3 and re turned to the police station elated bo cause he had believed himself success ful. Lieutenant Harms, his Immediate su pcrior on the moral squad, passed yes terday investigating a rumor that Wise had been seen alone in Vancouver. Wash. The report proved false and Harms returned last night deeply grieved at his friend's disappearance. "I can't understand it," said Harms last night. "Wise has a wife and child and he seemed to worship them. I can't believe that he would desert them. I fear that he has been mur dered by enemies he made in his work."
