Don't Snub Eeporter
Is Advice Given to
The Lumbermen
Chicago, June 1. In an addre on
"Business Men and Newspaper Re
porters," Warnn R. Bullock of Mil
waukee told the convention of the
National Lumber Manufacturers' as
sociation today that American mer
chants have lost great opportunities to
advance business because of failure to
appreciate the pride of newspaper re
porters in their profession, aiid he
asked the lumbermen particularly to
help thcmsclve by helping the report
ers to get news.
"As an average newspaper man,"
said Mr. Bullock, "I want to tell you
that the poorest newspaper reporter
feels that when he goes to interview
a business man he is the official repre
sentative of the great American pub
lic, which is entitled to know the news
of the world. By turning away, often
with discourtesy, the newspaper re
porter who seeks news of the business
world, the business men of the coun
try have lost great opportunities, and
instead of making friends, they have
often made enemies.
'There are two way in which this
condition is being remedied- One is
by a more liberal attitude of the busi
nes man toward the reporter, the
other is by advertising. Treat the re
porter as a co-worker, not as an offen
sive intruder. The newspaper wants
news. If you have new's, give it out,
and give it out riffht. Vou will never
get the worst of it if you follow this
policy."

Burns Tapped Wires to Locate
Leaks of Morgan Cablegrams
New York, June 1. William J.
Burns, head of the Burn detective
agency, testifying today at the John
Doe inquiry into the tapping of tele
phone wires, told of having been
engaged by Martin Egan of the firm
of J. P. Morgan & Co. to shadow a
man named Morton Sultrer, who,
according to Egan, had been divulg
ing information from the Seymour &
Seymour offices relative to cables and
correspondence of the Morgan firm.
He tried to "shadow" the man, but
found it useles. he aid. The list
ening device wa then installed with
the aid of the superintendent of the
building.
"Not one paper from the dek or
table of Mr. Seymour or Mr. Sultrer
was ever taken," declared the wit

SHACKLETON SAFE
Lieutenant Loei Ship in Ice and
Finally Keach.es Falkland After
Long Trip in Open Boat.
MEN LEFT ON ELEPHANT ISLE
London, June 1. A further me,
sage received today from Lieutenant
Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic
explorer, whose arrival at Port Stan
ley, Falkland islands, wa made
known yeterday, shows that the ex
pedition had a remarkable escape,
After meeting with almost unprece
dented weather in the early part of
1915, the lieutenant's ship, El Endur
ance, wa badly nipped by great ice
berg and Jterwards foundered.
Sir Ernest succeeded in getting off
sll his men and some stores. Terri
ble privation were suffered. After
a most hazardous journey, the ex
plorer reached Elephant island. The
scarcity of food became o serious
that he decided to leave the greater
part of his men while he set off for
hcli). Ration. for the men lett remna
were stored in a hole du
jg in ti.e ice.
After a iournev
of three week,
such as probsbly is unique in the an
nals of Antarctic expeditions, Sir Er
nest reached South Georgia. There he
sought the stsistance of whaler for
the rescue of the party on Elephant
Island, but this proved to be tmpossl
ble, owing to the prevalence of un
favorable weather condition.
The menage ay there is urgent
need of help for the marooned men
Will Send Whaler.
In view of the Information re
ceived from Lieutenant Shackleton,
the plans of the government for send
ing a relief expedition from England
will be abandoned and a whaler will
be sent from the Falkland islands to
iecue the marooned men.
After a careful examination of the
text of Lieutenant Shackleton'i orig
inal cable, Sir Douglas Mawson, the
explorer, said today:
''Instead of drifting until April 9 of
this yesr, as hss been suggested, it is
quite plain that the Endurance wa
Muck in the ice floe from March of
last year until October 27, when the
pressure became too great. The En
durance wa crushed and ank on the
latter date in the middle of Weddell
Sea.
"Lieutenant Shackleton abandoned
the (inking chip, dragging the whale
boats and supplies on an Ice floe, on
which he continued to drift until April
9 of this year. It appears that having
at that time reached open water, the
lieutenant and his companions
launched a whaleboat and sailed for
Elephant Island of the South Shet
land group, arriving there April 16.
"There the lieutenant left twenty-

such letters as seemed to bear on
the Morgan firm."
The witness was asked by John
Seymour whether anv letters found
or conversations overheard in the of
fice had "any touch of international
sspect."
''Only something about arms or
ammunition in Mexico," replied the
detective. He declined to give de
tails and refused also to inform Mr.
Seymour of the nature of the letters
and other corre?pondences handed to
Mr. Egan.
Burns wa asked whether he or his
staff had been employed by the
United S'ltes government or any
government. He replied that a man
named Gaston Means, one of hi
employe, had done some work for
the German government, but not a
a repreentative of the Burn agency.
Mean wa not now in hi employ,
he added.
two men in an ire cave and proceeded
with five other in an open hoat to
South Georgia Island, where he
hoped to meet whaling vessels and
thus get in touch with civilization.
Hi voyage from the South Shetland
to South Georgia, a distance of 900
miles, in sn open twenty-two-foot
hoat, amid ire, wa a harardou and
remarkable feat, even for so skilled a
navigator and seaman as Shackelton.
"The South Shetland Island are
invested with floe ice at thi time of
the year, and it will not be eay to
reach the men on Elephant Island
until later. No doubt whalers will be
sent now from the Falkland in an at
tempt to rescue them.
"It is understood Australia is sending
a relief party to reach the ten men
who are stranded on the great bar
rier on the Ross sea side, owing to
the breaking away of the auxiliary,
Aurora, which was to have met the
main party when it emerged.
Starting of Expedition.
Lieutenant Sir Frnest Shackleton'
expedition, which had as sn object
the cro'uing of the Antarctic conti
nent from Weidell sea to Ro tea,
tarted from Engand in August, 1914.
Sir Ernest, with one section, went to
Buenos Aires snd the other section
was sent to Tasmania. At Buenos
Aire, in October, 1914, Sir Ernest
sailed for Weddell sea. The other
party later proceeded from Tasmania
by the stesmer Aurora for Ross sea,
where it was hoped Sir Ernest and
his party would join it after crossing
the continent.
Early in the present year the Aurora
returned to Port Chalmer, New Zea
