i 14 WORKING SLOWLY TOTHENORTH POLE MacMillan’s Arctic - Bound \ Ship Completes 1,000 F Miles of Journey. BY CAPT. DONALD B. MACMILLAN. NEW YORK, July 27 (Speclal wire- less from MacMillan's Arctic-bound ship Bowdoin, Turnavik Islands, via amateur radio station Iana, Chatham- port, Mass., R. B. Bourne, operator).— Since my last message of July 20th the Bowdoin has worked her way up the coast of Labrador, through forty miles of extremely heavy ice, and is now anchoed off Turnavik Islands. ‘We arrived here early this morning and in spite of constant handicaps of fog, rain, ice and strong winds, have completed 1,000 miles of our Journey northward. Faces Ice Field Almost Unbroken, We will have to remain here until the ice in the Hamilton inlet breaks up and lets us through. It is packed with an almost unbroken ice fleld, held in by the easterly winds, and causing serlous delays for a number of fishing schooners which have been caught on the south side of the inlet and are unable to work north to the fishing grounds. Our larder has run short and I am depending now on my men to supply us with fresh meat. They got some fine young seals yesterday, which the cook converted into seal stew. The boys though this delicious. The crew from one of the fishing boats shot a large polar bear only a few miles from here and from now on we expect to see them in fair num- bers on the ice. Our men have their rifles and ammunition ready and are &l keen for the big game On the way up we passed several ships bound for the gold hunt at Stag bay with provisions and equipment. A number of Eskimo families have jeft the Moravian mission station at Hopedale for the purpose of finding employment in the gold fields. I fear the results will prove disa pointing. I examined a good speci- men of gold-bearing quartz this morning, but subsequently learned it had been brought from the interior of Labrador by an Indian. Houses Thousand Years Old. We visited Etah Island and took on two drivers from the tribe of Eskimos there to aid us in our work during the spring months. ‘While there we investigated what are re- ported to be Norse houses over a thousand years old. This island takes its name from legends of the Eski- mos. It means the place of the Norsemen. The ruins consist of two rock houses which are better described as caves, clearly showing signs of habitation. The fldors are paved with flat stones and_the walls dis- colored by smoke. If these houses are genuine they are the first tangi- ble evidence of the visit of the Norsemen to America. First men- tioned in the saga of Eric the Red in 270, although we find a description of Vineland as early as 1130. Early “Discoveries”, Noted. There is evidence, however, in the oral tradition for, possibly, 300 years before being recorded, various ac- counts of discovery of lands, sup- posed to be Labrador and New Foundland, have been handed down. My friend and guest on board the Bowdoin. Mr. Sheldon Fairbanks of Boston, leaves tomorrow on the Lab- rador mail boat. We have added another man to our crew in the per- son of Abram Bromfield of Auckland bay. If ice conditions permit we shall head across for Greenland about Tuesday, working constantly northward toward the north pole. GOVERNOR DELAYS TAKING OVER PARTY Farm-Labor Chiefs in Oklahoma Win Temporary Ad- vantage. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July 27.— Gov. J. C. Walton's plan for creating a “council of twelve” to assume di- rection of the Oklahoma farmer-labor movement will be delayed “until an opportune time this fall,” it is an- nounced. The meeting had been called for August 1. Recent developments have included the governor's break with the Farm- er-Labor Reconstruction League, which e'scted him last year, and the removal of his residence to Musko- gee, where he is said to be making preparations to launch his candidacy for the United States Senate next ear. The calling off of the proposed Au- gust 1 conference was regarded by political observers as a temporary victory, at least, for the chiefs of the reconstruction league who have been at work undermining the governor's plan for taking control of the farm- er-labor movement out of the league's hands and vesting it in the “council of twelve.” —_— BULLETS RIDDLE AUTO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif,, July The announcement in Chicago b torney General H. M. Daugherty that he would participate in the federal ac- tion pending here against certain bulld- ing material dealers was seen by some as the beginning of the end of a long controversy over the open shop plan. The situation had its inception ap- proximately two vears ago when a strike of building mechanics was called in protest against what they termed the “inequitable findings o special wage board.” The strike w partially broken with the introd tion of the “open shop,” which was characterized by the employers as “the American plan.” Certain employers not affiliated with the Bulilders” change, the organi- zatlon of contractors and contracting firms, thereafter charged that the exchange was conspiring to deprive them of building materials until such time as they should subscribe to the American plan. A group of the con tractors and firms in the e were formally charged in th nal department of the state courts here with the violation of the Cart- wright act, a state measure, intend- ed to put a stop in the state to the practices against which the Sherman aet is directed. They were found “not guilty” after an extended tri but the government instituted a clal investigation, with the _result that the action in which Mr. Daugh- erty is interested, was brought here This is not a criminal action, but is merely meant to restrain the alleged objectional practice referred B A farmer in New York state has in- vented a gasoline motor propelled and operated machine for setting out celery plants. to. 0609 C St.,N.W.

It is impossible to detect presence of wood alcohol, he added, without a chemical analysis, and three ounces have caused death. ‘Smuggled goods and liquor fllegally withdrawn from bonded warehous: constitute the other sources of supply. the statement issued by Mr. Haynes said.
