“ANTARCTICA OR BUST!”REKNOWN ADVENTURER SETS HIS SIGHTS

ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD.

NEW YORK (AP)—World famous explorer James Starkweather announced today that he would lead a party of scientists and explorers into uncharted parts of the Antarctica continent this fall. Starkweather, accompanied by geologist William Moore of Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts, intends to continue along the trail first blazed by the ill-fated Miskatonic University Expedi-tion of 1930-31. The Starkweather-Moore Expedition will set sail in September from New York City. Like their predecessors, they intned to use long-range aircraft to explore further into the South Polar wilderness than has ever been done before. “This is not about the South Pole,” Starkweather explained this morning, in a prepared speech in his hotel in New York. “Many people have been to the South Pole. We’re going to go places where no one has ever been, see and do things that no one alive has ever seen.” The expedition intends to spend only three months in Antarctica. Extensive use of aeroplanes for surveying and transport, according to Starkweather, will allow the party to chart and cover territory in hours that would have taken weeks to cross on the ground.

One goal of the expedition is to find the campsite and last resting place of the twelve men, led by Professor Charles Lake, who first discovered the Miskatonic Range, and who where killed there by an unexpected storm. The mapping and climbing of the mountains in that range and an aêrial survey of the lands on the far side are also important goals. “The peaks are tremendous,” Starkweather explained. “The tallest mountains in the world! It’s my job to conquer those heights, and bring home their secret for all mankind.” “We have the finest equipment mony can buy. We cannot help but succeed.” Starkweather, 43, is a veteran of the Great War. He has led expeditions into the wilderness on four continents, and was present on the trans-polar flight of the airship Italia, whose crash near the end of the voyage on the North Polar ice cap received worldwide attention. Moore, 39, a full Professor of Geology, is also the holder of the Smythe Chair of Paleontology at Miskatonic University. He has extensive field experience in harsh climates and has taken part in expeditions to both the Arctic and the Himalayan Plateau. ¶

COMMANDER DOUGLAS TO JOIN EXPEDITION

Famed Sea-Captain Returnsto Antarctic Waters.

— NEW YORK (UPI)—Commander J. B. Douglas, famed sea captain and former master of the brig Arkham, will return to Antarctic waters later this year. James Starkweather, world explorer and leader of the forthcoming Starkweather-Moore Expedition to Antarctica, announced today that Douglas has acgreed to come out of retirement and captain the expedition’s ship on their voyage of discovery. “Commander Douglas will be an invaluable addition to our expedition,” Starkweather said. “Not only does he have a personal knowledge of the many dangers and hazards of the South Pole, but he is an accomplished explorer and adventurer. The expedition will benefit greatly from his experience of the harsher climes and his keen inquiring mind. I look forward to providing this countries most noteworthy scientists with a means to enrich our understanding of the natural world.” Douglas, a twenty-five year veteran of the Merchant Marines, was sailing master of the Arkham on its 1930 voyage to the Antarctic with the now-famous Miskatonic Expedition. He retired from the sea in 1932. Commander Douglas could not be reached for comments, Starkweather has promised interviews with the Commander beginning on September 7, by appoint-ment.

LEXINGTON SETSSIGHTS SOUTH

BLONDE BEAUTY TO FLY TO POLE�

� NEW YORK (INS)—In a startling announcement from her home in Queens today, millionaire industrialist Acacia Lexington told reporters that she intends to set aside her ledger books in favor of seal furs and snow goggles, in an attempt to be the first woman to stand at the bottom of the world. Lexington, only child of late P.W. Lexington of this city, has for years impressed friends and adversaries alike with her skilled maneauvering in troubled financial waters. Now she intends to venture into a new realm. Accompanied by a hand-picked team of journalists, photographers, and wilder-ness experts, the lovely Acacia will cross the Antarctic wastelands in a specially modified Northrop Delta aeroplane and a Cierva C-50 autogyro. “It’s about time a woman did this,” she told our reporters. “Today’s women are capable of anything men can do. If I am the first, it only means that others will find it easier to follow.” When asked if her planned expedition was in any way affected by the presence of no less than four other parties on the Antarctic ice this summer, Miss Lexing-ton declined to comment.

POISE to STARKWEATHER

EXPEDITION

NEW YORK (AP)—Captain James Starkweather, leader of the Starkweather-Moore Antarctic Expedi-tion, divulged the latest addition to his excursion to the South Pole today. Miss Charlene Whiston, botonist and cum laude graduate of Bowdoin College, is the newest member of the team. Captain Starkweather expressed his concern that intelligent and talented women not be excluded from scientific ventures as his upcoming journey of exploration, and announced that he wished to do his part in advancing the enlightenment of the age. “I was only too happy to honor Miss Whitston’s request with an invitation to the Antarctic expedition,” he told report-ers today in the suite of at the Amherst Hotel. “Her credentials as an educated member of the scientific community are excellent and I am sure she will be a valuable member of the team we have assembled for this voyage.” Professor William Moore, the expedition’s other head, could not be reached for comment.

My young son complained to me at breakfast about a terrible dream he’d had the night before, a dream of monsters and strange cities and frightening voices coming from the dark. The poor tyke was greatly shaken up by it, and it reminded me of just how important it is to get good sound sleep. I’ll tell you what I told my son. The fifteen minutes before going to sleep is the most important quarter of an hour in the whole twenty-four. The question of real sleep and refreshment—in place of restless, uneasy slumber plagued with nightmares—for the body, brain and mind is determined by the physical, mental and emotional state during the last waking moments. If the individual enters the sleep state with tense muscles, a mind unrelaxed and intent on anxious problems, and filled with worry, hate or fear thoughts, the chances are all against real repose and refreshing sleep. Indeed, many people get up from their couches each morning entirely unrefreshed and unfit for their day’s labor—not having had an hour’s real rest. It seems not too much to say that some people do not know what real slumber is. A large number of people have formed the vicious habit of carrying their troubles to bed with them. If they have any anxious care, any grouches, any enmities, any hatreds to indulge, they brush these all aside during the activities of the day, and carry all of them to bed with them to indulge in the luxury of hate and worry thoughts before sleep.What is the consequence? The sub-conscious mind which rules in sleep takes its cue and its subjects for reflection and for solution from the dominant thoughts and emotions just before sleep. The work of the sub-conscious mind is intensified during sleep and its activities are determined by the suggestions of our conscious thought during waking hours, and especially by the last conscious thinking before sleep.The subsconscious mind is the hopper of a mill that receives whatever is given to it—good or bad—false or true—moral or the reverse, —and it grinds up its grist

—LIFE LONG WORRIESELLINGSON GIRL INSANE,

STATE EXPERT ASSERTS

SAN FRANCISCO, February 29.— Counsel for both sides indicated today that the trial of Dorothy Ellingson, 16 years old, charged with the murder of her mother, would proceed tomorrow, though others in close touch with the case saw a strong possibility that the defense would present a formal motion to end the trial and empanel a new jury to determine the girl is now insane. Dr. Fred P. Clark, Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Stockton has issued a statement saying he considers her insane, basing his judgment on close observation of her behavior in the court house. It was understood that other alienists, subpoenaed by the defense, were examining the prisoner at the county jail today. Sylvester J. McAfee, of defense counsel, said he had not received formal reports on her condition and could not predict whether the trial would be interrupted. He pointed out, however, that the defense, in outlining its case to prospec-tive jurors all last week, had emphasized that possibility she was insane at the time of the commission of the crime. Her present condition, if it were brought into the case, would involve a new issue, he said. Dorothy Ellingson is alleged to have cut her mother’s throat on March 24. The girl claims she had been having nocturnal visions and heard voices commanding her to do things. It is claimed that the voices warned her that her mother was a threat to her and must be eliminated.

Her Trial for the Murder of Her Mother Is Expected to Begin Today.

Commander J. B. Douglas

Jeremiah Barnes Douglas, Commander in the United States Merchant Marine (ret.), aged fifty years, died September 5th in New York City. Douglas served as an officer in the Merchant Marine during the Great War. He retired from the Service as a Commander in 1926 after twenty-five years. He then captained his own vessel, the Arkham, notably on an expedition to Antarctica in 1930-31. He retired from active life in 1932 to his home in New Hampshire. Known as “J.B.” to his family and friends, Douglas is remembered as a quiet, forthright and a stout friend to all. He is survived by his brother Philip. A graveside Memorial Service will be held September 8th, 11 a.m. at Saint Brigit’s Cemetary in Brooklyn.

DEATH ANNOUNCEMENTSLEXINGTON TRADGEDY�

NEW YORK (AP), July 23, 1921—A shocking scene greeted the police at the P.W. Lexington mansion on Fifth Avenue today. They came to investigate what appeared to be the death of one of New York City’s greatest industrialists as his own hand. Percival Woodrow Lexington was discovered in his study dead from a gunshot would to the head. Police initially suspected foul play from the disheveled nature of the study. “But there are obvious powder burns on his head and right hand,” said Police Detective Ronald O’Merira. “That coupled with the position of the body and gun lead us more toward a self-inflicted wound rather than foul play.” But his daughter Acacia does not agree. “Daddy wouldn’t kill himself. These buffoons are looking for an easy answer to keep from doing any real work,” the distraught young heiress said. “I vow to find my father’s killers and make them may pay.” Meanwhile an anonymous Wall Street source has hinted that the Lexington fortunes were severely over-extended. The sky in New York society has grown dimmer this evening and even the murky surroundings of this death surely spur further inquiry.

Mrs. Mary Dahle

Mrs. Mary Dahle, a widow, 85 years old, of 596 Eighth Avenue, Astoria, reputed to be the owner of real estate in the Ravenswood and Astoria sections of Long Island City, was found dead yester-day in the swamps near the incinerator of the Queens Street Cleaning Bureau, Astoria. It is believed she wandered into the swamp while looking over some of her property. Albert Dahle, 38, grandson of the deceased woman, said his grand-mother had grown distracted in recent weeks and claimed to have heard “voices” calling to her from the swampy area.

DARING RESCUE OF HEIRESS NAIROBI (INS)—The dark continent where the wonders of nature can turn on man and prove deadly has shown once again that wherever European man goes, so goes chivalry. Wireless reports out of the Belgian colonies in Africa tell of the daring rescue of our own socialite scamp Acacia Lexington by that gallant Englishman Captain James Starkweather. Lovely Lexington has been touring the regions of darkest Africa dominated by the mightly Lake Tanganyika. Savages fight daily with alligators longer than a Deusenberg to ensure the passage of commerce in the wild region. Against the advice of her elders, Lady Lexington insisted upon seeing the fabled giraffe mating grounds of Eyasi. Under the expert leadership of Captain Starkweather the band braved the wilder-ness and arrived at the plains of tall swaying grasses the giraffes find so compelling for their survival. The wild beasts, gentled by our own lovely Lady Lexington, came within a few feet of the party without making threatening gestures. Lady Lexington’s

pressence was so compelling that when she came upon a baby giraffe in the grasses, she immediately tamed it and was able to embrace it briefly before it returned to its herd, earning her the nickname among the savages as “The Woman Whom the Giraffes Love.” On the return trip to Nairobi, sudden rains caught the party crossing a branch of the mighty Nakuru river. The party was nearly lost as savages panicked under the onslaught of the rain and river. Brave Captain Starkweather rallied the natives and had them chop trees and fashion rafts to carry the supplies to safety. A personal trip by Captain Starkweather to a nearby village procured enough canoes to carry the party across the river. The crossing was treacherous but under the skilled hand of Captain Starkweather the entire party made it to port in time for Lady Lexington’s return trip to America. We’ll all be thanking Captain Starkweather for the safe return of one of the brightest lights of our social season. Hurrah for him and hurrah for chivalry!

RARE MANUSCRIPT

LINKED TO

LEXINGTON DEATH

(SPECIAL)—A notice from the estate of Percival Lexington warns rare book dealers to watch out for a missing manuscript that could be linked to foul play in Lexington’s recent death. An extremely valuable and rare galley proof of the Edgar Allen Poe book The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym has been reported missing from the Lexington’s study where his body was found yesterday. “Robbery would be a motive for murder,” said police Detective Ronald O’Meira. “But the physical evidence points to a different conclusion. The book may show up in a few days. It’s very difficult for most familes to accept the loss of a loved one in this way.” Issuing the notice was daughter Acacia Lexington who previously raised suspicions of foul play and a lax attitude by police in investigating this case. “This manuscript is unique. I believe it is involved in my father’s death,” she said. “This manuscript differs greatly from the published version. I fear some collector has killed for it.” The manuscript was to have been sold in public auction today, along with other rare andvaluable items from Percival Lexington’s collection. A coroner’s report is expected tomor-row. A public service and private family funeral will be held Friday. The public service will be held at the St. John the Divine Cathedral at 11 a.m.

MURDERED!Watery Death for Cmdr. Douglas

NEW YORK (AP)—J. B. Douglas, fifty years old, was discovered last night in the water off Battery Wharf. Two fishermen brought the unconscious mariner ashore after an assault by person or persons unknown. Commander Douglas died on the way to the hospital. A resepcted officer of the Merchant Marine for many years, Douglas will be rembered as captain of the SS Arkham, one of the vessels which carried the Miskatonic University Expedition to the Antarctic in 1930. Douglas was reportedly in New York City to speak with the leaders of the Starkweather-Moore Expedition, which will leave in a few days. The expedition expects to retrace the route of Douglas’s ship three years ago. Thomas Gregor and Phil Jones, sailors resident in New York City, were returning to their fishing boat Bristol, when they heard muffled cries and ran to see what was happening. They spotted a man running away and some agitation in the water.

While Jones ran after the fleeing man, Gregor dove into the cold waters of the harbor and found a motionless figure there. He heroically pulled the uncon-scious man out of the water and onto the dock. He attempted to revive the drowned man. Meanwhile Jones, who had lost his quarry, went for help. Police later announced that Commander Douglas had been bludgeooned about the head, and began to search for his murders. Anyone with information about this terrible crime or about Mr. Douglas’ whereabouts on the night of the murder, should contact Detective Hansen at the Battery Presinct Station.

INTREPID EXPLORERS READY EXPEDITION

“We’re going back,” Starkweather said. “The job’s not done. We’re going back, and we’re going to finish what was started and bring the whole lot out to the world. It will be a grand adventure and a glorious page in scientific history!” Professor Moore, sitting quietly to one side, was less passionate but just as determined. “A lot has changed in the past three years,” he insisted. “We have technology now that did not exist three years ago. The aeroplanes are better, brand new Boeing craft, sturdier and safer than before. Professor Pabodie’s drills have been improved. And we have Lake’s own broadcasts to draw upon. We can plan ahead, with better materials and a knowl-edge of the region that non of them had when they prepared for their voyage. Yes, I am optimistic. Quite optimistic. We will succeed in our goals.” When asked what those goals were, the two men looked briefly at one another before Starweather answered, leaning forward intently. “Leapfrog, gentlemen!” he smiled. “We shall leapfrog across the continent. A base on the Ross Ice Shelf; another at the

South Pole. One at Lake’s old campsite, if we can find it; and, gentlemen, we plan to cross over those fantastic mountains described by Dyer and Lake, and plant our instruments and our flag right on top of the high plateau! Imagine it! Like landing atop Everest! ”We have the finest equipment, and skilled men. Geologists = paleontologists - we’ve got Professor Ablermarle from Oberlin, he wants to study weather. Glaciologists, perhaps another biologist or two; the team’s not made up of course. We’re not leaving for another five months!” “It is important,” added Moore, “to try to find Professor Lake’s camp and bring home whatever we can from the caverns he discovered. The prospect of a wholly new kind of life, a different taxonomy, is extremely exciting. It would be a shame if, having found it once, we were unable to do it again.” The two explorers plan to land thirty men on the southern continent, half again - more than the Miskatonic Expedition. The expedition is privately funded and owes no allegiance to any school or institution.

BERLIN (NY Times)—A proclimation emphasizing that the present Cabinet is not truly representative of Hitlerism and the nation was issued today by the new Chancellor, Adolf Hitler. In it the Nazi leader announced a determination to “carry on the fight within the government as tenasciously as we fought outside.” “After a thriteen-year struggle the Nationalist Socialist movement has” succeeded in breaking through to the government; the struggle to win the German nation, however, is only the beginning,” the proclimation read. The Nationalist Socialist party knows that the new government is no National Socialist government, but it is conscious that it bears the name of its leader, Adolf Hitler. He has advanced with his shock troops and has placed himself at the head of the government to lead the German people to liberty. “Not only is the entire authority of State ready to be wielded, but in the background, prepared for action, is the National Socialist movement of millions of followers united unto death with its leaders. Our historic mission is now in the field of political economy.” Callinger Herr Hitler’s appointment “historic,” the document lauded President von Hindenburg with these words: “In this hour we wish to thank President von Hindenburg, whose

C. Stuart to United States Attorney Ralph C. Greene today. The letter demanded the swift prosecu-tion of seven men seized on board two rum-runners off Orient Point on Saturday. The prisoners were examined in the Customs House today and are said to have made statements in which they admitted having hatched their conspiracy to smuggle liquor in the Seamen’s Institute.

Jameson, professor of Archeology - Miskatonic University and Dr. Randall Stohltenberg of Stanford University met along with other collegues last Tuesday to discuss sponsorship and funding for a join expedition to Russia in search of an ancient latin text and ruins of a possibly much older civilization. Neither Professor Jameson or his Stanford associates would comment on the matter, as the meeting was held behind closed doors, but Prof. Jameson was quoted as saying, “The prospects of this expedition are truly thrilling and we are greatful for the faculty and students who have expressed so much support.”

ARKHAM SOCIALITE DIES IN CAR CRASH

—by Carla Richards

MACGREGGOR’S LOSE HEIRESS

INNSMOUTH— Local socialite and heiress to the MacGreggor fortune, Ms. Amanda MacGreggor, 26-years old, was killed early this morning at around 3 AM, when her car hit a large animal while traveling North on Lincoln Road, apparently, returning home to Arkham. Her car and body were discovered by an Advertiser delivery man on his route into the coastal village. Innsmouth authorities turned the scene over to Arkham police once actual jurisdiction was determined and that the crash had occured closer to Arkham, than Innsmouth. A MacGreggor family representative was quoted as saying, “This is a terrible event and the family is still grieving at this present time. There is no public comment, other than our beloved daugh-ter will be sorely missed.” Arkham police said a full report would available sometime next week.
