Lawrence, publisher of the San Francisco Journal, who first gave publicity to a private letter written by the United States Senator Hiram W. Johnson discussing his po- in 1924, printed in the Journal today his version of the man- ner in which the letter was obtained. His disclosure followed allegations v _that the letter, written McClatchy, editor of the Sacra- mento (Calif.) Bee, had been stolen from the private files of Albert E. Boynton, chairman of the republ state central committee, by George C. Hardwick, a former employ Hardwick voluntarily turned over the letter to him, Lawrence declared In his article toda Hardwick com- plaining of ill treatment while in Boynton's employ and asserting that he was looking for a job. Letter Voluntarily, Presented. “I told him,” the art n copy of it Radio messages from all parts of Nogth America have penetrated the far north and reached Donald B. Mac- Millan, explorer, in the forecastle of the little schooner Bowdoin. That is the word received by ama- teur radio operators when at last the Increasing daily period of darkness favorable to wireless has enabled the Bowdoin to send through acknowl- edgments and messagse from the other side of the region where the aurora borealis makes barriers In the air. “In winter quarters—all well—ice forming—and 's good to hear you." That is the gist of the messages ticked off by Donald Mix, the member of the American Radio Belay League who went north last June as Dr. Mac- Millan's operator. Tha receipt of Mix's messages after a period of silence put an end to Erowing anxtety. Among the messages sent to the Bowdoin after the re-establishment to to-and-fro communication was the news of the Japanese earthquake. Sends Greeting to Sister. The Bowdoin sent other messages to be relayed through America, one being a greeting from Donald Mac- Millan to his sister, Mrs. Letitia Fogg of Freeport, Me., who added the last touches of comfort to the Bow- doin before the tiny vessel sailed.

Dr. MacMillan was one of the Peary party then. Expect Excellent Results, To Barnsley Mix ‘also said that he had exchanged signals with 1-AMA and 7-DC, but after that was unable to raise any station. You can't im- agine how glad I am to raise you, old man,” Mix added. When Barnsley asked if the party had heard of the Japanese disaster, Mix replied, “No, old man; a long-wave tuner is no good for press.” In the course of their chat Mix told of plans ‘for a walrus hunt to be undertaken the next morning. Some of Mix's previous efforts to reach radlo stations had been over- heard before Prince Rupert gave re- newed intercommunication, and the American Radlo Relay League learned that on September 6 W.
