WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Sep- tember 24 —Harry McNeish, member of two Antarctic expeditions with Capt. R. F. Scott and Lieut.

Bealle, 34, of he deserted the arresting officer. Shackelton, died, penniless, today at the age of 64. McNeish was a member of the Scott expedition in the Discovery, which Visited the Antarctic in 1901." In 1914 he went with the Shackelton expedi- tion aboard the Endurance to the Ant- arctic. He was one of five volunteers who accompanied Shackelton in a small boat from Elephant Island in order to bring aid to 22 members of the crew of the Endurance left on the island after their vessel had been crushed by the ice. Daring Undertaking. The trip of Sir Ernest Shackelton and his five men, of whom McNeish was one, from Elephant Island to South Georgia was one of the most daring undertakings of Antarctic exploration. Sir Ernest planned to cross the Ant- arctic Continent from the Weddell Sea to Ross Sea by way of the South Pole, Aboard the Endurance he entered the ice pack in December, 1914. The ship ‘was beset by ice on January 18 and drifted northward. The terrific ice pressure crushed her and she was ! One of the members of President Hoover's Law Enforcement Commission intends to insist that it pass judgment on the prohibition problem when it re- convenes October 8. Kenneth Mackintosh, a former Wash- ington State Supreme Court justice and a dry, said today he would insist that the commission “go to the guts of the prohibition question.” Mr. Mackintosh, who has been study- ing exhaustive reports on crime and prohibition with the commission for more than a year, wants the commis- sion to say whether the dry law is en- forceable, and if it is not, what could be done about it. He is convinced the commission will seek to meet the issue, which he re- economic and social problems since the question of slavery. He also is con- vinced that 10 men and 1 woman on the commission are still of an open mind on the controversy, awaiting study of the final reports. New and comprehensive Teports on prohibition, touching almost every con- ceivable phase of the question, await the attention of the membership. Mackintosh said these reports are “in- ebandoned October 27. Men Caught on Floe. The 28 men of the expeditiori camped on the ice floe, drifting northward until &oril, 1916. On April 8 the floe split to §->ces and the men launched three small boats. Six days later, after many bardships, they landed on Elephant Is- land. On April 24 Shackelton and his five men set out in one of the ship's boats to bring aid. Snowstorms and gales swept them day after day and after much suffering they sighted the cliffs of the west coast of South Georgia on the fourteenth day. They still could not reach land, but finally they were able to reach the head of King Haakon Bay on May 19. McNeish and one other man were unable to travel further and Shackelton with his two remaining men marched across the island of South Georgia reaching a whaling station. After three unsuccessful attempts to return to Elephant Island through the ice floes Shackelton succeeded in rescu- ing all his men on August 30, 1916, us- ing the Chilean trawler Yelcho.

RURAL CHAMPION REACHES AMERICA George Russell, “AE,” Will| Lecture on City Civiliza- tion Peril. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 24—George Russell, better known as “AE,” Irish poet, painter and agricultural economist, arrived yesterday on the Cedric to warn America of the peril of city civilization. Unless the movement of population away from the farm to the city is checked, he said, the vitality of the people is likely to be weakened. Health in Rural Life. Quoting statistics of American econ- omists to the effect that 20 per cent of the population now is on the farms, Russell said: “If your civilization becomes 90 per cent urban and 10 per cent rural, you 0 be faced with a difficult are going the | situation. At present your cities are teeming ‘with vitality from the people sturdy peasantry that came here. “‘City life, however, tends to devitalize great mass of poor inhabitants. After three generations of life in the fetid slums vitality is apt to show depreciation. ‘Will Make Tour. “Contact with the land makes for a stronger race. You must not let your rural population u;ldnm&m‘ than 20 per cent or you your na- tional vitality.” The 63-year-old sage and mystic, who is here for a lecture tour of six months, which will take him into every section of the country, will devote his talks to his philosophy of rural civilization, in which co-operative farming has a large part. He believes co-operative agricul- tural socleties tend to strengthen the rural community, preventing its deterioration. First Lecture at Chicago. Until recently AE was editor of the Irish Statesman, formerly the Irish Homestead. He said he still has a half dozen books he wants to write, His first lecture will be delivered in Chicago October 6, although he is to speak over a national ras hook-up from New York next Saturday night. TRAPPED IN STORE, COLORED MAN HELD $200 in Articles Piled by Door of Fourteenth Street Place by Alleged Burglar. Trapped in a dry goods store on Fourteenth street early today, James Edward Harris, colored, 25 years old, was arrested by Policemen M. W. War- ren and A. B. Cole and booked at the eighth precinct on charge of house- breaking. Desk clerks at No. 8 station received an anonymous telephone message shortly after 1 o'clock this morning that a burglar had broken into the store of Abramson Bros., Inc., at 1931 Fourteenth street. The two officers were dispatched to | the scene and they reported finding Harris in the establishment, prepared to | make his getaway with about $200 | worth of articles which he had removed from the shelves and piled near the door. Harris, who is said to have gained entrance to the store by smashing the glass from a transom above the front door, told police he had no specific address. CAPT.
