Father Hubbard
Tells Experience
While in Arctic
(Continued From Page One)
ica is very different fTom the ice
around Siber.a, owing to prevail
ing currents and wind, and after
lying many miles off Barrow, had
to return south without discharg
ing planes or gasoline. Only on
August 26th did the Krassin on
a return trip make Barrow thru
an ice lead.
"The logical center for the res
cue work should have been Wain
wright 80 miles southwest of
Barrow, as this point is free of
ice. After all 80 miles in a flight
of several hundred miles might
have a deciding influence on the
outcome of -he flight, but in the
present instance, if any of the
luckless airmen be alive on the
desparate Polar re pack, time is
a much more critical element
than miles, and every moment
makes the chances of rescue less.
'The unexplored Arctic is a
death trap and in the event of
many planes seriously taking up
the search for Pilot Levenesky
and his companions, this late in
the season, more tragedies are
probable.
"If a short spell of calm Indian
summer weather allows a mass
search of this great uncharted
ar^a of the Arctic Ocean, I feel
sure that at least new desolate
islands will be found and the rid
dle of where the geese go when
they fly towards the Pole from
Barrow will be solved ” conclud
ed the Glacier Priest.
32 Russians Are
Executed For
Acts of Treason
(By The Associated Press)
MOSCOW, Aug. 29th—Soviet
Russia caught in its purge net,
last Friday, the former wife of a
Polish nobleman, accused of poi
soning water pitchers on excur
sion trains, and in the Far East
executed 32 more persons “for
wrecking" allegedly at the be
hest of the Japanese secret ser
vice.
Reports from Novorossisk, near
Rostoff on Don, told how the
woman was caught one Wednes
day and condemned to death af
ter she had poured a quantity of
iethal acid into the water pitch
ers, in what was called a plot by
anti-Soviet enemies.
The 32 executions in Eastern
Siberia brought to 138 the two
weeks total of executions in Si
beria.

He is alleged to have taken the
amalgam from the Chichagof! op
erations while thus employed
and took it to Seattle where he
sold it to the Precious Metal
Smelting Company for $1,256, giv
ing the name of George Miller in
making the transaction.

his description. Deputy Hellan
began an investigation which re
sulted in the arrest and reported
confession of Snyder.
Other quantities of amalgam
were found in Snyder's posses
sion. the officers said.—Juneau
