ROCK PYRAMID

TO NAVIGATION
Alaskan Waters Filled With
Pinnacle Rocks and Wire
Drag Surveys Asked.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The start
ling information that stwenty-one dam
gerous pinnacle rocks in forty-two
miles of ship channel had been dis
covered in Alaska during. last sea-
son by Field Engineer John A. Dam
iels OF the coast and geodetic survey,
has been made public by Secretary OF
Commerce Redfeld.
These rocks were located by means
OF q wire drag more than a mile long,
the wire being supported at the tiesir-
ed depths by cables to surface buoys
and towed along by power boats.
Walls Nearly Straight. a
The ship channels covered by the
wire drag srrwey-are located In south
eastern Alaska They form a section
Of the well known inside passage fol-
lowed by all steamers going up and
down the coast. The main thorough
fares included in the survey opera
tons were Revillagigedo. channel,
Nichols passage and Tongass mar
rows. :. {.
The rock walls OF the, channels OF
this part Of Alaska are nearly straight
up and down, both above and below
the level Of the water. Depths iron,
20 to 100 fathoms are within 100 yards
OF shore. Yet itwas ii these waters
the a dangerous pinnacfes were dis
covered.
One OF these rocks is OF pyramid
shape and arises over 600 feet from
the bottom of the enamel 10 within

rounded by deep water on all sides

BEMIDJI BOY MUST ANSWER
MINNEAPOLIS ROBBERY CHARGE

William Harris, 14-year-old boy
of Bemidji, will be taken to Mime
apolis tonight where with seven other
lads of about his own age he will
be tried on a charge of breaking in
to store and stealing merchandise
valued at about $500. Deputy Sher-
iff Ball of Hennepin county reached
Bemidji today and took charge
of the boy who had been placed un-
der arrest by George Denley, deputy
sheriff, yesterday. According 10
Ball, twelve boys were implicated in
the robbery and Harris is the eighth
one found. The robbery took place
several weeks ago. Harris has con-
fessed to the crime and also admits
that he took part in the robbery of
the Gamble-Robinson-Bemidji com
panys warehouse some time ago, a
large amount of cracker-jack, grape
juice and peanuts being taken. The
stolen articles were later found on
a hill short distance from the ware
house.

VILLA WARNS WILSON
NOT TO INVADE MEXICO
(United Press)

Ell Paso, Tex, June 12.-Villa's s
reply to President Wilson's message
of week ago, was published this af-
ternoon and warns the United States
from interfering in Mexico. The
Mexican war leader denies that an
archy and starvation exists in the
southern republic, which is alleged in
the presidentss note.
Villa blames Carranza for the civil
warfare in Mexico and has ordered
Enrique Lorente, his personal repre-
sentative at Washington, to present
a note to Wilson this afternoon. False
ideas and the desire for mercenary
gains, he added, caused a split after
Carranza and Villa had overthrown
the Huerta government and that Car
rama sought to restrain command OF
Mexico without; laws, without courts,
without justice. Villa also made
the announcement that heshad made
a proposal Of peace to Carranza at
which time a thorough settlement of
the Mexican differences would be ad-
justed.
