This move allowed him to gain ground against the Government and Church critics who are demanding that he renounce his frnendship for her. Mrs. Simpson left during the night, going straight from Belve- dere Castle to France. Her removal from the scene, which it is understood that she her- self urged, has apparently eased the whole situation. ARRIVES IN FRANCE ROUEN, France, Dec. 4. — Mrs. Wallis Simpson arrived here early today and departed shortly after noon for Cannes on the Riviera.

DIES IN SOUTH General Agent at Seattle, Wellknown in North, Passes Suddenly SEATTLE, Dec. 4. — Frederick Tracy, aged 64, General Agent of the Alaska Steamship Company with his héadquarters here, died |vesterday after a sudden heart at- tack. His widow survives. Tracy is known to thousands of | Alaskans. He began with the Al- |aska Steamship Company during the gold rush days as purser on the old steamer Dirigo. This was at the time the company was organized by Charles Peabody. Later he ‘“‘went {on the street” for the company and then became traveling agent. Dur- ing the gold rush to Seward Pen- insula, Tracy was purser aboard the |steamer Victoria. In 1910, Tracy was transferred to | Cordova in charge of the Southwest |district of Alaska for the Alaska ISteamsl—np Company and opened a steamer agency at Anchorage when that town was establshed in 1914. Tracy then returned South and |took up his duties here, becoming General Agent for the Alaska Steamship Company in 1933. | KNOW IN JUNEAU Fred Tracy was well known in | Juneau, not only in the early days of the Klondike rush but in later | years when he was here in the in- | terest of his company during several | sessions of the Territorial Legisla- |ture. He was a “hale fellow well |met,” made and held friends, but |was recognized as a thoroughly ca= pable steamship man, knowing all of the angles of operation, tariffs, | ete.

The denial was made upon receipt of an Associated Press dispatch from Clewiston, Florida, in which United States Senator Elmer Thom- as, of Oklahoma, who had made the charge the colony was a failure and the colonists disgruntled and dis- satisfied, said the reason the col- onists voted 135 to 4 for approval was they faced dismissal if they had done otherwise. Johnson said the only part the officials had in the plan was to ~operate in bringing the colonists [from the farms to the community! center in trucks so they could vote. Johnson, who has spent weeks in| filming the colony said he met many colonists who were indignant over| Thomas's statements and were will-| ing to make affidavits of their suc-| eess and happiness Herbert Caulkins, of Wunnett, Montana, his wife and four sons have arrived at the colony to replace a family that quit last summer.

Demand for Ivory There is a growing demand for ivory, the official added, and this, too, gives an economic resource to the natives of the north, who pro- duce many rare ivory articles. Mr. Hawkesworth spent four months on his survey. He left here on the North Star last August 7 and enroute north visited many of the Indian Bureau stations. Arriv- ing in Barrow early in September, the vessel lay there for some time and the official supervised sending of supplies to points east of that community. The North Star was delayed in departure from the Arc- tic outpost for several days due to the incoming ice behind which she had to lay until it receded. Going out, she damaged a propellor blade which slowed the vessel down on the rest of her journey to about seven knots an hour. The vibration later caused the ship's shoe to break with the result that it was necessary to make repairs with cable. As soon as she limps into Seattle, the ves- sel will be put on the ways for com- plete repair. Enroute south, the well known official sprained his ankle, and is still getting around with the aid of a cane. = 7 ' i STOCK QUOTATIONS NEW YORK, Dec. 4. — Closing quotation of Alaska Juneau mine stock today is 14%4, American Can 119%, American Power and Light 107%, Anaconda ' 48%, Bethlehem Steel 71%, Calumet and Hecla 13, Commonwealth and Southern 3%, Curtiss-Wright 7, General Motors 68, International Harvester 97%, Kennecott 57%, New York Central 43'%, Southern Pacific 41%, Unit- ed States Steel 74%, United Cor- poration 6%, Cities Service 3%, Bremner bid .03, Pound $4.90, DOW, JONES AVERAGES The following are today’s Dow, Jones averages: industrials 18096, down .33; rails 5448, down .08, utilities 35.15, down .18, rived at Dutch Harbor about Aug- ust 18, and at St. Michel on the 23d.

At Barrow the winds held the ice pack so close to the shore that the North Star for a long stretch ran with only a foot of water under her keel. Although the normal speed of the vessel is twelve and one- half knots, the damage to the pro- pellor at Barrow, slowed her to seven knots for the homebound voyage. Picks Up Passengers At Barrow, the North Star picked up Dr. and Mrs. H. W. Griest and T. L. Vanderwater, radio operator there who was relieved by Stanley Morgan, and a group of Eskimo girls for the Eklutna Vocational School, some of whom were sent there by plane from Vigalina under charge of Miss Barbara Winn of Juneau. After making calls at Wainwright, Point Lay, and Point Hope, the ship arrived at Kivalina, where she lay eight days, loading and freezing 1,200 reindeer carcasses brought in by the natives. Three hundred more reindeer were taken on at Buckland, from where the vessel proceeded to Shishmaref, Teller, and arrived back at Nome about the middle of October. King Islanders Aboard From Nome, the North Star car- ried 175 King Island natives back to their Island, and from there headed north again to the Little Diomede, from where she went to Tin City and loaded another three hundred reindeer carcasses before returning to Nome again on the 28th of October.

The vessel is sched- uled to sail tomorrow night. The Arctic, which is reported steaming up the Sound, will be im- mediately loaded and is scheduled to sail north Sunday morning. The Boxer goes to Sitka, then Ju- neau, before going to the West~ ward. The Arctic will call at the usual ports in Southeast Alaska before going to Cordova, Valdez and Sew- ard.

He said he planned new con- ferences here during this afternoon. THO BUDYS TO BE_PLACED BY HEMLOCK HERE Tender Collects Ice Off Taku on Voyage Here from Ketchikan Establishing two buoys to mark the shoal water at the channel end of the Alaska-Juneau rock dump, |is the duty that has brought the Lighthouse tendér Hemlock here from Ketchikan. The Hemlock, commanded by Capt. W. H. Barton, arrived at the Pacific Coast Dock here early this morning, and will return to its sta- tion at Ketchikan as soon as it has placed the pair of markers. The - Taku wind whipping the channel this morning necessitated a delay before the Hemlock could commence its work as all soundings and sightings must be taken from a small boat, and would be diffi- cult with the wind blowing. The nearness of the dump makes it im- possible for the Hemlock to take the soundings itself, Capt. Rarton said. A gas buoy is to be placed at the southern edge of the shoal and a nun buoy at the point of the shoal nearest Juneau, by the Hemlock. Considerable ice was collected on the tender while coming up Steph- ens Passage off Taku Inlet last which rattled Juneau window panes during the early morning hours.
