u. S. Scientists Get
View of Mt. Kat1nan
In Full Eruption
Americans Are i'm Alaska to
Explore ''Valley of Thou
sand Smokes'' and Make
Report OH Largest Crater

JUNEAU, Alaska, July 80 (By MaiD.
ern corner of Alaska are In eruption
this summer evidently for the benefit
of party of scientists sent by the
National Geographic Society to study
Mount Katmai, the greatest Of Alaska s
smoking moutains, and its "Valley Of
Ten Thousand Smokes"
Persons who have returned recently
from the volcanic country to the west
ward said Shishaldin Peak, on Unimak
Island, in the Aleutian chain, was in
eruption recently. They also reported
it was believed Mount Bavlof, on the
southwestern Alaskan mainland, also
had spouted, as the snow about the
summit was coal black.
Eruption Unexpected
When the party of scientists left
Anchorage, Alaska, on their way to the
Katmai country they said they believed
there was little likelihood of an erup-
ton this summer and declared they
were certain there was absolutely no
danger attached to the investigation.
Katmai's last big "blow off" was in
June, 1912.
The party Of twenty-six scientists is
headed by Professor Robert A. Griggs,
of the University Of Ohio, and some are
from Carnegie Institute. They are
planning to make observations of the
botanical, biological and geological
effects Of the 1912 eruption
In 1919 Professor Griggs headed a
party of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement that the
crater was the largest on the globe and
that near Katmai lay great valley
wwhosc floor was dotted with thou
sands of mouths vomiting gray vapory
gas and smoke. This valley, Professor
Griggs named "The Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes" Instead of ten
thousand, there are literally millions
of smoking vents.
To Be Public Park
Congress recently set aside "The
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as
national property and it is believed
that some day it will be a second Yel-
lowstone geyser field. Stcaming
springs, it is said, will eventually take
the place of the present smoking vent.
Professor Griggs and his party ex-
pect to remain IN the. katmai district
until the middle Of September. Until
they return nothing probably will be
heard from them as there is no direct
means of communication. Mrs. Griggs
and her children accompanied the pro-
fessor to Kodiak, an island near Kat
mai, and will remain there during the
summer waiting for him to- return
Moving pictures Of the smoking
mountain and valley are to be brought
back by the party.

Private Detectives Believed
to Have Put Instruments
Costing g$2,5OO inNewman
Apartment by Mistake

After O day and half Of investiga-
ton tho District Attorneys Office was
still mystifed as to the identity of the
person who hired private detectives to
install an elaborate dictaphone system
in the home Of Nathan Newman, an
tiquc dealer, who lives at 14s East
Twenty-second Street. The wiring sys-
tenn, including three Instruments, was
fitted into the Newman house and the
telephone wire leading into the apart
ment was tapped six weeks ago, when
Newman and his wife left the city.
Since then, according to the District
Attorneys office, detectives have been
"listening in" on the conversations of
Newman's two daughters. Newman
discovered the wires last Thursday
night.

Cork Production i'm Sardinia

Cork trees are indigenous to sar-
dioia, and extensive natural forests are
to be found upon the mountain slopes
in the northern part of the island.
The crop is cut every nine years. The
process of industrial production is
comparatively simple. The dried-out
bark in its cylindrrcaI form is first
thoroughly steamed and hattened out
under pressure. 1t remains in piles
for about thirty days and reappears
covered with blue mold. The bark is
then carefully scraped on both sides
and cut into strips corresponding in
width to the varying lengths of the
cork shoppers desired These strips
are cut by hand into cubes. The cubes
are put through highspeed finishing
machines, which round off the edges
and give the required taper.-DetSoit

Ceehan Defends
Police Testimony
In Woman Cases
Mcmahon Is Challenged to
Debate Question of Its
Reliability; Dangero of Car
nival of Vice Suggested

Magistrate John e. Mcclellan, from
the bench in Womans Court, yesterday
took sharp issue with j. Grafton Nc
Mahon, Kings County judge, who had
scored vice squad detectives as "cor-
rupters of young girls" The magis-
trate offered to debate publicly with
Judge Mcmahon the question Of the
reliability Of police officers testimony
and vice segregation. Magistrate Nc
Geehan said:
my attention has been called to an
article in the morning papers in which
County Judge j. Grafton Mcmahon is
quoted as having said: Il am here to
do Justice to all, and I do not care
who approves of it or not, I will hold
nobody when the uncorroborated testi-
mony Of policemen alone is used, be-
cause they are interested in securing
convictions. They get merit marks,
and race to see who makes the most
arrests
"The above quotation Of Judge NC
Mahon does not state the law, and I
refer him to the case decided by Judge
Rosalsky, People of the State of New
York vs.. Charles Ruidtiman, April 13.
l914. This has been the ruling case
TOR many years, viz, that the uncorrob-
Grated testimony of a police officer is
sufficient to secure a conviction and
have that conviction upheld, provided
the officer is testifying honestly. Po-
lice testimony in all states of the
Union has been received and acted
upon, provided it is creditable, in all
cases of this nature"
1T is the universal law of all coun-
tries that keep the streets clean that
police testimony is held to be suffi-
clent for the conviction Of any person
engaged in this branch of business.
"What does this Judge want? How
does he view this situation with re-
gard to the public? Does he want 8
group Of women swindlers, badgerers,
olackmailers, connected with every
branch of crime in New York, to be
permitted the freedom Of the streets
OF New York without fear of molesta-
ton by the police, and assured by the
decisions of the courts of dismissal if
they are arrested? How long will New
York tolerate this condition? The wo-
men of every city in the country will
flock to New York, and make it their
parade ground. No power of police
can drive them out if conflicting de-
cisions block them.
III any man or any group Of men
support the proposition that the uncor-
roborated testimony of police officers
is not to be taken or an attempt is
made to force the Legislature or pub
lie officials to adopt that principle,
that man or group of men will take
part responsibility for a wide-open
town, which in. my experience as a
public official I have never found the
decent people advocating. They can
be led into it very easily under the
erroneous assumption that innocent
women are being convicted simply be-
cause only police testimony is pre-
sented against the women arrested
They should not be led into it either
blindly or with clear reckoning Of
the responsibility that they assume for
q, wide-open, indecent, intolerable- con-
dition Of the streets of New York"

Bottle of Water Was City
Souvenir to Lafayette
Fluid From Lake Erie Was Me-
mento of Opening of ssCIin-
toms Ditch"

"On October &c, 1926, the first boat
to make the trip through the finished
Erie Canal left Buffalo, with Governor
Clinton, Stephen Van Rensselaer,,
Joshua Forman, Chancellor Livingston,
William L. Stone and Thurlow Weed
among those on board" we read in
"Artificial Waterways and Commercial
"The trip of the Seneca Chief, as
the canal boat was named, was prob
ably the most thoroughly celebrated
event New York State has ever ex-
perienced. All along the route was a
jubilant people, making it a contin-
uous holiday parade; ringing of bells
and booming of cannon greeted it
everywhere and Clinton was the hero
of the fortnight. On November 4, the
boat. escorted from Albany by a fleet
of steamers, arrived in New York City,
where civic, military and naval parades
followed accompanied by the most OK
travagant demonstrations of popular
enthusiasm. A memorial medal was
struck by the municipal authorities,
the face of which was subsequently,
adopted as the seal Of the Canal De-
partment. Two kegs OF water from
Lake frie had been brought along and
one of these was taken to Sandy Hook
ard the water tremendously poured
INTO the Atlantic Ocean.
The contents of the other keg were
bottled as mementos, and one of these
bottles was presented to Lafayette,
who had e. short time before been the
guest Of the city. An enthusiastic
citizen had procured bottles of water
from the Nile, the Ganges, the Indus,
the Thames, the Seine, the Rhine,
the Mississippi, the Columbia, the
Orinoco, and the La Plata, all of which
were also, with proper ceremony, emp
tied into the Atlantic, after those Of
the Erie had been mingled with its
brine. This mingling Of water typi-
tied the ambitious faith of the build
ers that the commerce of the canal
system was bound to commingle with
amd be enlarged by the commerce of
all portions of the world.
The festivities lasted until the
night Of November Z, concluding with
grand ball. 1t is recorded that the
news Of the opening of the Grand
Canal, as 1t was called for many years,
was sent from Buffalo to Sandy Hook,
over 60O miles, in eighty-one minutes.
oy means OF booming cannon placed at
proper distances along the line. Our
forbearing, rejoicing over this great
aehtevement In transportation, sought
to hasten the news of the canals open
ing by booming cannon as fast as
sound travels. They little dreamed
that in less than century Buffalo
and New York would converse with the
same ease and certainty as persons
seated face to face.
"Thus 'Clinton's Ditch as his op-
ponents in politics contemptuouslv
called 1t, was fixed act, notwith-
standing Ex-Governor (then Vice
President) Tompkins's declaration a
short time before, that it was a Chi
merical project '"-Christian Science

Presbyterians to
Give Next Sunday
To Laboring Man
Church Must Hold Sympa-
thy of Workers to Retain
Its Place in the World,
/ Says DIR. w. III. Foulkes

Throughout the country next Sun
day will be observed by Presbyterians
as Labor Sunday, and DR.. William
Hiram Foulkes. general secretary of
thesNew Era Movement, has issued an
invitation generally to organizations
of workers to participate.
"Christ was carpenter. Paul a
tertmaker," said DR.. Foulkes, "and the
Church was founded for the toilers Of
the world"
The golden text for Labor Sunday
will be Come unto Me all ye that
labor"
In his address conveying the invi-
tation DR.. Foulkes said:
"When the Church gets away from
the toiler it loses the secret Of power
tutes any other motive for that Of
sacrificial service it loses its crown.
To the great throng of men, women
and children who are uprising to-day
in the midst Of their wearied labors
snd fruitless toll the Church seeks to
become friend and guide.
"1nspired by the example of it's
Master, it girds itself with a deeper
conception of service than any it has

tice and oppression: Your cries have

at also stands at the fork of the
roads pointing the way. On the one
hand Is selfish, sordid, satanic Boil
shevism, caring neither for justice nor
for brotherhood-the way of violence,
greed and shameless immoralities; on
the other Christian democracy, with
the naturalization Of all human inter-
ests, the enthronement of the many
above the few and the appeal for the
recognition of the economic, social and
moral unity and welfare Of all man
kind
"The Church, the only institution in
the world which belongs to no class
or clique, race, party or social group,
welcomes to its fellowship in service
all those who are weary and heavy
laden and who will take the yoke Of
the Carpenter of Nazareth, the Son Of
God, upon them and find rest unto
their souls. His yoke alone is easy and
his burden above all others is light"
