IDENTIFICATION NOT
 CERTAIN N F-4 CASE

HONOLULU. Sept. 2.-Two more bodies were found today by the men engaged in clearing the hull of the Submarine F-4 One of them is be- lieved by Lieutenant Crittenden to be either the remains of Lieutenant Ede, commander of the diver, or Ensign Parker. It was the discovery of an officers cap which was near the re- mains found in the after part of the battery compartment that led to the belief that one of the bodies was that of an officer The insignia on the cap was gone and naval authorities ex- press doubt that positive identification will be possible.
 The work of uncovering the en- tangled bones and decomposed frag- ments of bodies progresses slowly. A note book was found containing a few notes but they were not legible. It contained the records of the subma- rine's battery, according to Lieutenant Crittenden, member of the naval board of inquiry. Fresh air was forced into the forward compartment of the submarine to facilitate the work in there.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
 MISS ELENA PRINCE

Miss Elena Prince has returned from San Diego and Los Angeles, where she spent over two months, re- cuperating. She gained just three. pounds net during the long vacation, probably because there wasn't room for any more weight
 Miss Prince will hereafter superin- tend the cashiers desk at the famed Stag Cafe (that white Chinaman, Charlie Sam always was lucky), talk ing the place of her sister, Miss Mary. who left last night for Los Angeles where she will attend school
 Miss Elena served two years ap- premiership at the Yuma Daily Kx- aminer printship and office, but was subject to metallic poisoning which necessitated her giving up the work on the advice of her physician. A younger sister, Miss Bertha Prince, nov has charge of the mailing list at the Examiner office.

NE HAVE 37,OO0,0OO
 ACRES PUBLIe LAID

WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 2.- More than 11,2OO;OOO acres of public land were eliminated from the public domain during the past fiscal year, according to the annual report of Com missioner Clay Tallman of the general land office
 There remains 279,544,4O 4O4 acres open in the public land states, in ad- dition to approximately three hundred million acres in Alaska. California has 20 635,923 acres; Arizona 36,S1O,- 327 and New Mexico 27,7SS,357.
 In the report of Commissioner Tall man, it is seen Arizona has more of the public domain than even the great state of California In the past year, there has been quite deal of activity over land matters, homesteads have been numerous, state selections have recently increased by leaps and bounds.
 The surveyor general reports great progress in survey of public lands, and while there is an immense lot of un- charted lands, the work has been mainly satisfactory
