me] NE ALASKA SHOWN AS NEW WONDERLAND Explorations Reveal Many Wou- derful Sights There Washington, D. C., Sept. 18 — @tartling and magnificent scenic features that may make it another distinctive American wonderland were revealed today by Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar in further advices to the National Geographic Bociety in ‘Washington concerning The Society’s expedition which he headed in the Mount Paviof Volcano are§ of the Alaska Peninsul { The area, in its own way, the re- ports indicate, may be as remark- able as are the now famous Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, in Alaska, and the Carlsbad Caverns. New Mex- ico, both of which were set aside as National Monuments after Nation- al Geographic Society expeditions had revealed their natural marvels and scenic beauty. Lake Region Found Dr. Jaggar wired his report to the Bociety's headquarters in Washing- ton from Seattle where the expedi- tion has just arrived in the States after a summer's adventurous ex- ploration which disclosed huge vol- cano cones, a far northern lake country of amazing beauty, caribou, bears, foxes and hair seals in unex- pected numbers, and yielded valu- able collections of rocks, minerals, fossils, flowers, mosses and seaweed. Through Paviof Bay, at the taper- ing end of Alaska Peninsula, which looks so slender and small on maps of North America, the party sailed 75 miles to the head of Canoe Bay, an almost landlocked body of water, hitherto unexplored, which Dr. Jag- gar describes as a veritable “baby MeMditteranean.” North of the Bay to the Bering Sea, anw west of Port MDMoller, the explorers entered an area which disclosed hundreds of lakes scattered among treeless wastes and low ridges of great geo- logic interest. Extensive Area Mapped The expedition mapped 2.500 square miles of United States domain which hitherto has been unsurveyed, recorded scores of physical features hitherto unnoted, and also corrected many details placed on older maps from tradition and hearsay. *0ld small scale Russian maps of this interior are quite erroneous,” Dr. Jaggar says. “On the Bering Sea side several bays marked and named do not exist; the long glacier ex- tending west from Pavlof is a great field of clinker lava. Mountains are misplaced and six lakes shown south of Nelson's Lagoon amount to a vast flat containing 500 lakes and ponds. The so-called Otter Bay, mentioned on some pilot charts, is in reality a valley.” By boat. foot and horse the party travelled some 1,300 miles. Often they pressed on amid gales, fogs and driving &nows; sometimes they came upon valleys carpeted with the gor- geous flowers of the Far No®h—vio- lets, daisies and lupines, and across miles and miles of tundra were the rounded *pin cushions”’ of moss, made pink, white, blue and yellow by clusters of tiny flowers. Bears and Caribou Plentiful Animal life was far more profuse than had been expected. The party had been in camp at Canoe Bay only one hour when members saw tracks of the red fox and brown bear. On a short trip out of camp the 2xplorers counted 2 caritou an. three bears. Crossing a moun- tain north of the bay the brown bears wers so numerous,.Dr. Jag- gar noted, that “I began to wonder whether we could get back to the boat without stepping on a bear.” But it was on a volcano that a dramatic capture was made of a remarkable specimen. The bear was skinned for mounting, and wili be presented to the Cleveland Mu- seum of Natural History. It meas- ures 9 feet, 10 inches, from nose to tail. Skull and leg bones were preserved. The caribou were in small bands, usually from three to nine, and it was near the inner narrows of Canoe Bay that a colony of hair seals appeared and splashed about the boat with great unconcern. On Canoe Bay the party encam.p- ed on a site where there was fine clamming and on islets were scores of huge olive-drab gulls’ eggs. flecked with brown. Along hundreds of miles of #hore line Dr. Jaggar employed the am- phibian boat, especially built by the expedition. which could run along stony beach, penetrate the grass flats and tundra. and take to the water when headlands impeded its course. Boat That Runs on Beach The boat was steel. equipped with an automobile engine and twin Jutting black minarets, spires, col- umns in clusters, towers, domes, snowdrifts in the crannies. Indi- vidual atesples rise from the great square tower ‘n the middle of the cathedral mass so slender, so utter- ly straight sided, like the Campan- ile, only thinner, that it seems in- credible they do not fall with the first breath of wind. - Yet they have withstocd centuries of arcu. gales {rom the Bering Sea.™ GERMANS DISAPPOINTED AFTER CONFERENCE Does Not Belleve That Evacuation of the Rhineland Has Been Brought a Stcp Nearer. /Berlin, Sept. 18 P—"Deep disap- pointment” 18 the phrase which sums up the feeling in Germang po- litical quarters and among the lead- ing newspapers over the results of the Rhineland evacuation confer- ences ut Geneva. There was no en- thusiasm yesterday even in official circles. Germany did not believe that evacuation had been broughteven a step nearer. On the contrary she sees France and the other occupying powers unmoved by Germany's plea for removal of the troops as a log- ical outcome of the Locarno treaty and the Kellogg pact. Because the German and French viewpoints are so diametrically op- posed, Germany exhibits great skep- ticism that anything will come from the special negotiations which are to be held later. The Nationalist press, representing the old “German world” thought, described the Gen- eva procecdings as a flasco and says that Germany had been “sold again.” cmys—lmmn Nomince for the Vice Presidency Pledges Prompt Relief to Hooster Farmers and Nation Evansville, Ind., Sept. 15 (A— Prompt solution of the farm prob- lem was repledged last night by Senator Charles Curtis, the republi- can vice presidential nominee, in re- counting the efforts of the republ- lican administration in behalf of agriculture, “Our party has pledged itself” he told a mass meeting in the city's coliseum, “to the enactment of measures which will place the agri- culture on the United States on a basis of economic equality with other industries. Our candidate for president has given his word that he will keep the pledge of our plat- form “Personally, you have my assur- ance that T will gladly join with other friends of agriculture and do everything possible, regardless of rparty aftiliations, to find and “ring about genuine relief.” ARCH STREET COLLISION Officer Walter Malona reported a collision between cars driven by Er- minia Brorzi of Berlin and Reinholtz Schultz of 44 Bond street yesterday, resulting in slight damage to both machines. Brorzi was driving east on Walnut street, crossing Arch street, and the Schultz car was going south on Arch street.*There was a car in front of the Berlin driver, prevent- tng him from seeing the traffic si nal which was against him. Officer Malona reported no cause for police action. NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1928 HURDER FARM 1S PUZZLING POLICE Authorities Unable to Strike Balance of Evidence Los Angeles, Sept. 18 (P—After more than three days spent in checking 15 year old Sanford Clark's account of the torture and murder of four bovs by his uncle, Gordon Stuart Northcott, 21, on Northcutt's isolated Riverside, Cal, farm, aut- thorities today frankly admitted they were unable to strike a balance between the contradictory evidence thus far uncovered. While spades of officers probed the three acre farm uncovering evi- dence which alternately tended to support and disprove Clark’s story, the lad piled on the already heavy 1oad df accusations against his uncle the account of a plot to do away with a whole family. The story gained quick corrobor- ation. Ilanncd Death Young Clark told the officers that Northcott last summer planned to kill & man named Dahl and his wife and succeeded in luring them to the | farm last July. Northcott's plan. said Clark, was to add their four sons to his list of alleged torture and murder victims. Mrs. James C. Bell, wife of a Redondo Beach. Cal,, brigadier gen- eral of the Salvation Army, told offi- cers that young Northcott came to The Los Angeles police said they had told Riverside officers they must take Cyrus G. Northcott, father of the suspected youth, or he would be released. He has been held here as a material witness. i The elder Northcott has described Lis son as an “ape man." Mother and son are believed to be hiding in Canad: LOW ADDED T0 THE DETROIT VICTINS Millionaire Escapes Alter Being Held for $35,000 Ransom Detroit, Sept. 18 (P—The name of Samuel Low., millionaire presi- dent of the Carling Brown Co. of London, Ontario, today was added to the long list of victims of Detroit ex- tortionists. Low, his attorney, Major J. H. Clark of Windsor reported to local rolice, was kidnapped September 8, near Windsor and held prisoner for $36.000 ransom. shackled to a bed in a house near Thamesville, Ont. The brewer gained his liberty Sun- day without paying the ransom, but after guarantees had been exacted that he would raise the money. Nothing was given out regarding the case until after an unsuccessful attempt by Detroit police yesterday to trap the extortionists. Low had been instructed to deliver the $35.000 to a taxicab driver he was to meet in the lobby of a local her husband and giving his name |potc) " Another man who was sub- as Gray. asked the name of a family | gituted for Low by police, met the with several children, preferably boys. who would work on a farm. Dahl's name was given Northcott. she said and he made an appoint- nient for the family to come to the ranch that night. The Dahls told the Salvation Army officers that they kept the ap- pointment but were asked to wait a few minutes on the front porch of the Northcott house. They waited for two hours while subdued voices were heard in argument in the rear of the house, then became frighten- ed and left. Meanwhile City Chemist Rex an- nounced that blood found on an axe | at the so-called “murder farm” | probably was that of an animal. But three strands of hair adhering to the axe blade were from a human head, | the chemist said. Detectives making an examina- tion of the Northcott home found a bloodstained board and a hatchet, | the blade of which was ground to | a razor-like edge. No Complaint Riverside authorities faced hy the baffling mixture of contradictory evidence, said no murder complaint would be filed against young North- cott or his mother, Mrs. Louisa | Northcott, until more definite proof had bheen obtained. SAVE 74e driver, and delivered to him a dum- my package, while detectives sta- tioned in the place followed the driver. As the latter reached the street he jumped into a car and eluded his pursuer in the heavy traf- fic. Following collapse of the ruse, Low was said to have left for Toron- to to confer with provincial officials regarding the next steps to be taken in the case. The conference at Toronto was ex- pected to result in some definite plan of action whereby crown authorities and Detroit police could cooperate in an effort to stamp out the gang, members of which have been prey- ing upon ‘wealthy liquor operators and others in the district over a pe- riod of more than two years.
