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." i Letter Carriers' Officer Accused of Embezzlement Kanta City, Mo., June 1. A war rant for Samuel E.

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 ness.

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- Hlfih Shoes, $ In ccmpttU ft.00 t hoe si n il m .. r ! l,,t .11 Mt l 4 '.'.. 4 l ' M Vi l'4l. fSDISS n u 2, 1916. 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 land, having been left adrift in the Friday Marks The of our Fifth Annual June Clearaway of Women's Apparel It is an event eagerly looked forward to by hundreds of Omaha women.
