The present equipment of the Alaska Rialroad
could not handle this tonnage, states Bartley Howard,
which would be shipped direct to California for the
development of that State’s immense iron properties.
The concern Mr. Howard is in touch with is ir*
corporated for about $14,000,000 and they are inter
ested in drilling for not only coal, but oil in the Moose
Creek field as well as other coal fields in Alaska. Mr.
Howard anticipates arrival of drillers within the year.

tonight atop of an improvised
ramp end on the Samishiro
beach ready to hop off at the
creak of' dawn although winds
are not entirely favorable.

Sunday because of the weather
forecast which indicates he may
be held up another week or so
unless he starts now-.

Harold Gatty, supervised the
f ading of 1,020 gallons of gas
bine, two roasted chickens, sand
-ches, chocolate bars, corned
beef, hardtack and four bot

VESSEL EXflfiOES:
ATHENS. Sept., 13, (/P)—Eight
persons are known to have been
Killed an dit is feared that many
Lille and it is feared a like fate
as a vessel, filled with oil, explod I
cl in front of the Standard Oil |
-•pots at Drape Bonias harbor near
the Piraeus.
The boat was blown to pieces
nd its flaming fragments set fire1
13 other sailing boats an done
.' .eamship which burned rapidly, j
The crews of the burning ships >
threw themselves into the water j
bin it is feared many of them were
fatally burned. The Standard Oil ;
depots on the shore apparently,
vers safe.
Mr. and Mrs. Chilberg and j
daughter joined the Anchorage i
Legion caravan today bound for
Anchorage. :
Alaska coal can compete in
the states with any coal in
America, Mr. Howard said, which
I again bears out the contention
! of other Alaska operators and
| coal mine experts. Is has been
! ascertained beyond a shadow of
: any doubt that there is
S a market awaiting the Alaska
| product for at least 2.000 tons
! a day and upward on the Pa
cific Coast alone. Statistics have
I also revealed Alaska coal is
| equal, and in many instances,
I superior to coal mined in the
I states.
The coal tonnage from Alas
; ka is unlimited.
j Following the report of geo
logists who will be sent into
the Alaska field, and if justi
fied, drilling will be started.
Referring to the recent Sen
atorial investigation of the eco
nomic situation of the Alaska
Railroad, Mr. Howard stated that
I in his opinion the investigation
will help Alaska, not hurt it.
“I have traveled extensively
over the states the last few
; months,” he said, “and I do not
| believe public opinion -would
i permit the Alaska Railroad to
I be abandoned under any con
sideration but that it is certain
curtailment of operation might
be justified and put into effect.”
Mr Howard, father of Mrs. H.
Sogn of this city, departed to
day for his Moose Creek coal
properties.

TWO HUNDRED MEN IN POR
TION OF PARK AT TIME AND
DURING DISAPPEARANCE
(Special to the Gateway)
| McKinley Park, Sept. 13- —Two
imushers from the Kantishna re
gion arrived today and reported
that Chief Ranger Fritz Neyberg
and party of Rangers had found
the body of the prospector Tom
Kenney, aged 72, between Clear
| Water and Mud Rivers.
The Rangers found the body in
a very much unsuspected place
showing that he traveled quite a
time after getting separated from
his partner Tom Black ,colored.
It will be remembered that Ken
ney and his partner with their out
fits and two horses, left this place
about the first of August along
iwith the Moffett Geological Survey
| outfit and travelled thruogh the
Park. It had been a practice for
Black, toward evening to go ahead
and make camp, stake the horses
lout to feed and have supper ready
; when Kenney came in. The last
day they were together Black went
ahead to make camp in the tim
ber on the bank of Mud River.
Kenney failing to appear his
partner started back looking for
; him, and spent six days and nights
.without slot p, then came back to
Park Headquarters asking for help.
The next hunt was made by one
lone ranger who came bcai. un
successful c nd then returned with
; three other rangers and two horses.
Upon the finding of the b >dy a
| messenger was despatched fui U.
IS. Commissioner Tunda, of Kant
jishina, who sitting as c woner,
| found death due to hunger and ex
posure.
; The Rangers belive Kenney lived
at least 15 days and lik.-.y 20 days
j after he was separated from his
; partner. He had but two sand
jwiches at that time. The Rangers
i found a number of camp fires, all
Imade with broken sticks, showing
that the camper had no ax. At one
camp they found where he had left
his raincoat, and at another where
he had killed and eaten a porcu
pine.
His last camp was made, in a
bunch of willows where he had a
view of the river bar, and might
have attracted the attention of
searchers had any passed that way
There are seven cam^s in the
Park with about 200 men, to whom
the disappearance of Tom Kenney
was first reported, yet not a fin
ger was raised to seek him. and
help had to be sought ° the ex
treme east side of the place cf his
disappearance.
Burial was made in the Park

pected to complete their testimony j
Monday night if Corwin would be !
to resume.

dealings with Hubbard. He first saw i
Hubbard in the raid on the Olm- i
sted home- Corwin said that an j
obsolete machine of the type made |
by Hubarfl was given Mrs. Corwin !
after Hubard had lived in the Cor- !
win home for some time. He ex- t
plained the circumstances sur
rounding the gift radio by Hubbard.
Corwin said that he was promis
ed $250 monthly to manage the
Grays Harbor radio station as a j

annual leave but was never paid.

timer, arrived in town yester- j

i REVELLE ENDS CROSS-EXAM
INATION WITH DENIAL
OF CHARGES
SEATTLE, Sept., 13, (A5)—Lyle
took the stand and denied all
charges that he and his three
associates had extracted $100,
000 protection money from or
ganized liquor runners, after
Revelle was excused.
Eight minor witnesses were
heard before Lyle was called.
Former dry agent E. R. Small
and deputy commissioner W. H.
Kinnard testified that they
urged the capture of many boot
leggers the government charged
were paying them protection
money.
! They said that Jack McBride,
a government witness, who told
! of paying bribes to Whitney, had
a bad reputation for veracity in
the Grays Harbor country.
Revelle ended the cross-ex
| amination with the denial that
1 he had accepted $3,000 from
Olmsted during Revelle’s gub
| ernatorial campaign in 1926.
Lyle said he had consulted
Senator Jones about the hiring
of Hubbard as an agent because
;0f the unusual circumstance of
1 hiring a man who had been in
! dieted as a liquor law violator.
| In denying Hubbard’s charge
1 that he knew of regular col
! lections being made for pro
! tection Lyle said the only bribe
Hubbard had ever told him of
j was the sum of $1,000 obtained
! from Bob Newman in the Zev
case wh’ch used the govern
ment evidence at the trial o?
the Zev conspirators.
