Although an indorsement has been given the third party nominees as in- dividuals, the Federaitonist, official organ of the American Federation of Labor, will say in its editorial in the September number shortly to be | issued some important things which jcannot but be construed as a funda- mental objection to certain princi ples for which La Follette stands | The American Federation of Labor the subject of trusts and monopolies and Government ownership and de- mands that the Sherman Anti-Trust |Law be repealed. The Federation- ist expresses a friendship for trusts as a means of conserving labor and thinks the La Follette program of trying to cure monopoly by political regulation is wrong. After reading the editorial, one cannot help wonder how the Amer- ican Federation of Labor could in- dorse La Follette at all, for a princi- ple they are far apart. Would the | Wisconsin Senator subscribe to what [the Federationist says?

ZANNI TO PURSUE FLIGHT. Argentine Globe Circler Plans to , Resume Tour Temporarily Halted. By the Assaciated Press TOKIO, August 27.—Maj. Pedro Zanni, Argentine aviator, now stalled on his globe-circling flight at Hanoi, French Indo-China, will continue his flight across the Pacific Ocean, ac- cording to Patrick Murphy, advance agent for the aviator, who arrived here today for the purpose of ar- ranging with Japanese authorities landing details of the flight through Korea and Japan “Data collected for over 40 years in the north Pacific by the British ad- miralty show that October is one of the best months for the flight,” Mur- + phy said. “I met Lieut. Lowell Smith, the American flight commander, at Calcutta, and received from him in- formation and advice regarding the north Pacific which is most valuable to Zanni. I also obtained data from Lieut. Col. L. G. Broome, the trail blazer for Maj. A. Stuart MacLaren, the British flyer. Use MacLaren's Supplies. Murphy is negotiating for a Jap- anese steamer to carry supplies of gasoline and oil to the Kurile and Aleutian Islands. It was previously arranged that the Canadian trawler Thiepval, which lald supplies for 4 MacLaren, would do the same service for Zanni, but this is impossible since the Thiepval returned to Van- couver with MacLaren. Zanni will, however, use some of MacLaren's dumps since he intends to follow the same route across the Pacific that the British flyer took, and it is be- lieved that some of the dumps were left. Murphy has cabled Broome re- garding the location of these. Since the Japanese government, through the legation at Buenos Aires, the embassy in London and Minister Uriburu in Tokio, has expressed its willingness to co-operate to the ut- most to aid the Argentine fiyer, it is expected that Japanese destroyers will be stationed in the Kurile Is- Jands, as they were for the American flvers and MacLaren. + Murphy expects that Zanni will be ‘ able to resume his flight from Hal- phong on September 15, and reach Japan by September 25. He will fly a land plane as far ‘as Tokio via With returns reported from 1,133 of the 1,354 voting precincts in the State Blease is leading the senatorial aspirants with 68.896. Byrnes fol- lows with 54,800 and Dial is in third place with 36,183. Insurance Com- missioner J. J. McMahan finished fourth in the incomplete returns with 4,108. The returns included a portion of the vote in every county. Representatives Returned. Returns from the races for repre- sentatives have been received in somewhat lesser volume than for the Senate and State offices, but there ap- pears to be little doubt that Repre- sentatives W. F. Stevenson, F. H. Dominick and H. P. Fulmer have been renominated. Representatives J. J. McSwain and A. H. Gasque had no opposition. Representative W. T. Lo- gan seems destined to enter a second primary with Thomas S. McMillan, Speaker of the State House of Rep- resentatives. Five candidates sought the place left vacant by the entrance of Representative Byrnes into the senatorial lists and a second race will be necessary with the candidates still in doubt. B. B. Hare, R. L. Gunter and B. R. Tillman are the leading candidates. Stevenson defeated W. R. Bradford, while Fulmer on the re- turns thus far reported has a ma- jority over D. M. Crosson and L. A. Hutson. Based on available returns Dominick has retained his seat against the efforts of W. P. Nicholson and C. H. Carpenter. FREDERICK HAS RACE. California Tenth District Repre- sentative in Close Contest. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, August 27.—The contest in the tenth congressional dis- trict, in which Representative John D. Frederick was opposed by Ralph Cris- well for the Republican nomination for Congress, apparently was the only issue undecided when tabulation of the results of yesterday's State pri- mary was resumed today. Eight of the incumbent congress- men, on the face of incomplete re- turns, won the nominations of their own parties, and some the nomination of the opposing party, to succeed themselves. One, Mrs. Mae E. Nolan, ‘d not care to make the race in the fifth congressional district, and Law- rence J. Flaherty, United States sur- veyor of customs, easily won the Re- publican and Democratic nominations. In the fourth district Representa- tive Julius Kahn won an overwhelm- ing victory over Henry C. Huck, who sought the Republican nomination. Kahn was unopposed for the Demo- cratic indorsement. The registrar of votes announced that because of the overwhelming vote received by Kahn no further tabulation would be made. ~ (Continued on Page 2, Column L) {Continued on Page 3, Column 8.) j 4 one of the worst seasons of recent ivears. Tce perils this year have been exceptional. The Coast Guard cutter Bear, which left Seattle May 15, was caught in the drift near St. Lawrence Island, about 150 miles south of Nome. and carried through Bering Straits into the Arctic Ocean. She lost two propeller blades and was unable to extricate herself until the middle of July. | Kotzebue Sound was frozen over three weeks later than usual. The power schooner Arctic of San Fran- cisco was crushed near Point Bar- row August 19, and the Hudson Bay Company’s Lady Kindersley, trapped by floes near-the same place, is drift- ing northw with the crew pre- pared to abandon her at any moment. Chances With Winds. The Herman's chances of getting through to Wrangel depend largely upon the wind. If it had packed the ice against the island, as is the case more often than not, no vessel can get through. Capt. Lane will then hunt walrus along the edge of the pack and wait his chances for the weather opening it up. No word of activities on the part of the Soviet government has reached Nome since early Summer, when it was learned that the governor of northeastern Siberia, angered because Vilhjalmur Stefansson has claimed the ‘island for Canada and Harold Noice's rellef party had gonme there without permission from the Soviet government, planned to take steps to prevent further encroachments upon what he regarded as Russian territory. To Take off Noice Men. The Herman is being sent by Lo- men Brothers, the reindeer magnates of Alaska. She will take off Charles Wells and 13 Eskimos who were lett on Wrangel by Capt. Harold Noice after he had rescued Ada Blackjack, the sole survivor of the Stefansson party. Wells' party is made up of men used to the rigors of Arctic winters, and it was well equipped. But if the continuous gales pile the ice about the island into an impassable bar- rier and the Herman is forced to re- turn to Nome there may be more graves on Wrangel. Of the four men and an Eskimo woman left by Stefansson in 1921 the woman alone survived to greet Capt. Noice when he landed his relief party last Summer. -Allan Crawford of Toronto, Milton Galle of Texas and Frederick Maurer of Ohio dled trying to reach Siberia across the ice.

The fact that the message of dis- tress was signed “Edward Fitzgerald” occasioned considerable alarm among Government officials when it was re- membered that a meml er of a scien- tifc expedition sent North by the NAtional Geologic Survey was named Gerald Fitzgerald. The expedition was known to be stranded at Point Barrow. ~ “(Continued on Page almost 5.000,000 revenue passengers during the first six months of the current calendar year, as compared with the corresponding period of 1923, approximately $300,000 in ac- tual cash.

The Washington Railway and Electric Company carried 2,124.707 passengers less than during the first six months of 1923. Despite its large loss in the total number of passengers carried, the Capital Traction Company, according to the commission’s accountants, earned a return of 7.23 per cent on its valuation. The Washington Rail- way and Electric Company’s return was 4.40 per cent, a reduction of 0.65 under the first six-month period of 1923. Soviet Prohibits Books on Bee for ‘Queer’ Reference By the Associated Press, LEIPZIG, Germany, August 27. —The Soviet authorities have pro- hibited the importation into Rus- sia of books about ants and bees in which “queens” are mentioned, says the German Buchhandler- Borsenblatt, a weekly devoted to the book trade.

Harteman, John B. Newman and Charles Mar- shall, formerly deputy marshals James Boudwin, sr.; James Boudwin, jr.: James Hunter, Bromley Hunter, Emil Krause, Ralph McCullough and Walter A. Tapscott. Representing the defendants are: J. Bertrand Emerson, for Fredericks H. E. Da for McCullough; W. 1.

The hearing, which was held to consider the return of the 15 Wash- ingtonians to Florida, got under way when Assistant United States Attor- ney Burnett presented what he said were certified copies of the indict ments. The attorneys for the defendants thought they were not properly cer- tified, and brought in objections. Ohjections Block Progress. Following overruling of a multi- tude of objections and the noting of numerous exceptions, Golding took the stand to attempt identification of some of the defendants. More ob- Jections were piled up. More excep- tions were noted as the identification process slowly threaded Jts way into the record.

BY A. R DECKER. | By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. BERLIN, August 27.—Although the Reichstag, in the debates, is showing extreme hesitancy in passing laws which would place the Dawes plan in, effect, and public_statements of Nationalists leave the issue in doubt, there are indications that ratification will be obtained by outside trading. It would seem that parties place interior politics before the country's fate, and are concerned only with ob- taining class advantages on the bloc system. For instance, it is said that the German Nationalists are to be brought over. if at all, by replacing the customs duty on flour, cereals and grain which wae removed during the war.
