FAIRBANKS, May 5. —
Wilkins and Eielson an
nounced they would take off
for Barrow Wednesday.
Trouble with the radio
equipment caused a post
ponement of the flight Tues
day. Every precaution is
being taken to assure the
best functioning of the ra
dio as Wilkins wishes to
keep up communication dur
> ing his flight into the Arc
; tic. The Alaskan has been |
equipped with an extra oil;
reservoir and wheels and I
with the gasoline storage j
space in the freight corn- j
partment will suffice to give !
her a cruising radius of over
1500 and probably 200 miles.
■ The oil supply was previously found j
insufficient. Pressure was lost on the ;
last return here when still 15 miles
out from Fairbanks. The propeller
which was splintered and patched
with brass strips while at Barrow on
the last trip, was replaced yesterday j
when the only reserve propeller fail
ed in a test lacking sufficient power
to sustain the plane in the air unburd
ened.
The Liberty engine of 400 horse
power is said to be in good condition
but in order to spare it is much as
possible and in view of the sufficient
supply of gas at Barrow the Alaskan
will be flown light and fuelled for the
Arctic dash at Barrow. Visibility
permitting, no time will be lost in!
making the dash.
^ Wilkins plans to call for a flight of 1
2400 miles out and then return to!
Barrow. He appears unconcerned:
over the possibility of a forced land
ing for previous scouting having
shown large spaces of broken ice
which assured a safe descent. While >
at Barrow on the last trip traders
and natives told of the annual migra- j
tion of White fox from the mainland
out over the ice pack to the north
which is coincident with the migra
tion of water fowl which is further
substantial belief that land may be
.. discovered in the forthcoming at
^ tempt. Wilkins and Elielson will re
veal the secret of the unpenetrated
Arctic whether successful or unsuc

SEATTLE, May 5.—Governor Hart

Seattle Post-Intelligencer was tinder
the control of W. V. Tanner, former
attorney general “and has been par
ticularly pernicious” in misrepresent
ing him. The Governor explained,
“I removed him from a nice juicy job
as receivers attorney of the Scandin
avian American Bank in Seattle to
save money to depositors. He re
ceived $39,34S for his personal ser
vices. His firm’s charges totaled
$131,777 and if I must crawl on my
hands and knees to kowtow to men
like Tanner for their newspaper sup
port, I won’t have it.”

effort of the expedition.
It is said plans are under way for
the return to the state of the entire
party as soon as the Alaskan returns
here. Whether the Detroiter will be
flown remains to be decided although
such a course seems to be the desire
of the flight members.
