Peter Aschenbrenner and our iotographer, Herbert Kunick, accom- panied by four or five coolies, have been for some days in the Nakot Valley, thorough! xamining the possibilities cf an ent from there.

Frier, has! been invaluable in keeping the men cheerful and working well, through his fluent command of their language and | his tact and knowledge of native men- tality. But every day has provided some excitement among the coolies. First, for instance, we had the strike | of the bearers from Astor. Then came a thrilling and magnificent perform- | ance by 30 men from Batistan. When | there came a tangle in transport they | cheerfully carried loads of 100 pounds | each two and three miles along a | precipitous trail after dark, putting a | big_job through. The Hunza people, whom we got es- pecially for our later, high altitude | climbing, have consistently proved | strong. cheerful, and ready to volunteer for the hardest jobs. | The seven coolies who have started out with Herron and Bechtold up the Bullar Nullah will meet the first gla- | cier there. For this they are equipped | with complete mountaineer outfits, from wind helmets and snow goggles down to nail boots and crampons (iron climbing hooks). The coolies are tremendously proud of these costumes, and kept themselves | bundled up in woolen and windproof garments in a burning sun throughout an entire morning, while their friends surrounded them admiringly. | From the time we topped the first | ridge, one minor peak or another of Nanga Parbat has been in view. The | Chongra peaks tower above us now. We are continually studying our maps and speculating on what the possibili- ties may be up there in the snow. When our scouting parties return we shall know more about our chances and our plan of campaign. The American members of this ex- pedition are Miss Knowlton of Boston and Springfield.

C, JUNE 19, 1932—PART ONE CONFESSES KILLING STRANGER AT HOME Cincinnati Man Is Arrested at South Bend, Ind.—Will Plead Not Guilty. By the Associated Press. SOUTH BEND, Ind, June 18— Theodore Arnett, 50, contessed to de- tectives today he shot and killed & man in his home at Cincinnati, Ohio, August 31, 1929, but said he would plead not guilty on grounds of self-defense when arraigned in the Ohio city. Arnett told officers that until his ar- rest yesterday morning at Mishawaka he did not know the man he killed was George 1. Jeanes. Arnett was arrested just as he was opening a new barber shop. Jeanes, a stranger to nim, Arnett said, came to his home in Cincinnati at night, first asked for street directions and then requested a drink of water. The man showed signs of being under the influence of liquor or drugs, he said. While in the kitchen of his home, Arnett related, Jeanes called Mrs. Arnett a vile name. Arnett said he went into an adjoining room for a gun with whith to frighten his visitor away. Returning to the kitchen, Arnett said, he found Jeanes with a butcher knife in his hands. Jeanes lunged at him with the knife, Arnett declared in his confession, and he fired in self- defense. The confession denied claims of Cincinnati authorities that Jeanes was known to Arnett and that the slain man was attending a card party at the | Arnett home at the time of the shooting.

AKING on a 267-pound alligator, 9 feet 4 inches long, Henry Coppinger, jr. the Alligator Boy, yesterday had his first workout in the Chevy Chase swimming pool. The alligator is the largest of four which Coppinger captured in the Florida Everglades, but despite his size and fierceness he is the easlest opponent of the lot, according to Coppinger, because of his newness to the game. He was caught only two weeks ago. | Contrary to popular belief, alligators, instead of becoming tame with much wrestling, learn a few tricks themselves, according to Coppinger, and are con- sequently the more dangerous after some experience.
