Na1TatiUe of Exploration
 Trip Many Years Ago to
 Copper Riuer Country

place should henceforth be known as Valdez.
 Hardly had our supplies been each ed upon the edge of the snow sheet when it was found necessary to re- move them from there to a safter position on higher ground, as the edge of the snow sheet which they rested was being rapidly undermined and cut back by the tide. This transfer of about half a mile to the lower end of Copper City was accomplished principally during the several succeed ing nights and the early mornings hours, while the surface of the snow was frozen to supporting crust, for during the day the deep snow became so softened by the sun as to render locomotion difficult, if not impossible, even with snowshoes.
 Upon the completion of the trans fer we proceeded to pitch our tents in pits or cellars dug 61h feet deep in the snow. Scarce were they ready for occupancy when a wet snowfall set in on the 25th and continued most of the day. AS the route over Valdez glacier had been supposed to lead within a short distance to small lake, the supposed source of the Tas- | w lyno to lie about due east of Valdez, the 1 band of prospectors who for more than month had been slowly forging their way a score or more miles up the glacier in the bleak mountainous waste of suow and ice, with no indi- cations of the Tasnuna country in sight and no idea as to whither they might be going, held meeting and sent a committee to the commander of our camp for such geographic in l formation of the route and region as might be furnished. As such infor- nation was not eXtant, the region being practically unknown, Lieut. Brookfield and the writer were de- tailed to make a hasty reconnaissance to the summit of the glacier and mountains and return to camp with the results of the observations We set out from Valdez on the morning of the 18th, drawing our outfits and some additional supplies of the ex- petition on Yukon sled, as our camp had no pack animal transpor- tation of any sort.

TEETH OF THE TIGER
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Many of our greatest men say their favorite reading is a detective story. The late Colonel Roosevelt felt the same way about it. There's no getting around it, good detective story satisfies great human need. Everybody likes 'em.
 But detective has to be good. Not clap-trap, but genuine mystery, thrills, excitement that stirs the emotions and wits, all at once.
 Probably the best detective story writer today is Maurice LaBlanc His famous crook character, Arsene Lupin, is known all over the world as one of the most fascinating char. actors of fiction.
 And of all the Arsene Lupin stor. ies, none is more intriguing and fasc- mating than "The Teeth of the Tiger, the screen adoption of which form the special feature tonight at the Elm press.
 You're promised something to pug. gel your brains over; also thrills a plenty, a goodly share of laughs, and a warm hearted-interest in the form of a pleasing love story.
 The old Forbes house was the scene of many a scandal and crime. Capp. ing them all, now came sinister murder. The only clue,-an apple with marks of teeth And the sus- pect? The dead mons young wife. her lover, the dark eyed niece, heir ess under recent will, the trusted family physician-and the arch crook Arsene Ldpin, nicknamed the Tiger. The leads are played by David Pow ell and Marguerite Courtot, and the strong supporting cast includes, among others, Myrtle Stedman, Charl- es Gerard, and Frederick Burton "The Teeth of the Tiger" is a picture that will keep you on the edge of the seat with supense, and will keep you guessing to the last, over the final solution. ........

COmpers Attacks
Supreme Court for
Boycott Decision
Asserts Tribunal Has Joined
Forces With Anti-Union
Shop Movement and Dealt
Blow to Human Freedom

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4.--Thc decision of
the United States Supreme Court yes
tcrday relative to the so-caled sec
ondary boycott was attacked in a
.ormal statement here tonight by Sam
ucl Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who asserted
the court has "joined forces with
the anti-union shop movement"
The statement characterized the de-
cision as q "blow at the movement for
human freedom and progress" and de-
cared it is Thoroughly in accord with
the most ardent wishes of predatory
greed"
The court held that labor unions
or their members are accountable un-
der the antitrust laws where they
depart from their normal and legiti-
mate objects and engage in an actual
combination or conspiracy i'll restraint
of trade"
Mr.. Gompers's statement in full fol-
lows
"The Supreme Court, in rendering its
decision in the case of the Duplex
Printing Press Company versus the
International Association of Machin
lists, has joined forces with the anti
union shop movement, the movement
to undermine and destroy the only or
CARNATIONS which the working people
have for their protection.
"Thc decision of the majority
justices fully justihes the statement
attributed by the press to Justice
Brandeis in the minority dissenting
opinion that the whole movement Of
thirty years to place workers and en-
ployers on basis OF equality before
the law has been nullified.
Il have not read the whole language
Of the decision, but have seen sutti-
cient to say that it is thoroughly in
accord with the most ardent wishes Of
predatory greed and should be highly
satisfactory to those who exalt profits
and deny the aspirations Of humanity.
1T is a blow at the movement for
human freedom and progress I can
only add that the protest of minorties
Of one day have frequently been the
decisions Of majoritics Of the next
day"

Baker Opposes Sale of
Army Camps and Depots
From The yribune's Washington Bureau

from The yr!buhes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-Undcr the
reorganization of the army as it is
being carried out at present, the War
Department cannot afford to dispose
of the additional camps, supply depots
and bases it acquired during the war,
according to testimony to-day by Sec
retary Baker before the sub committee
of the House Committee On Military
Affairs. The committee, under the
guidance Of Representative John G.
Mckenzie, OF Illinois, is seeking to get
rid of any surplus facilities carried by
the War Department.
The maintenance OF practically all
these properties, said Secretary Baker
is s,rategical necessity. He told the
committee that the government bought
during the war 569, ,746.09 additional
acres for this purpose. Prior to that
time the War Department had ,047,
304.2I acres.
Secretary Baker outlined briefly the
nine corps areas plan OF reorganiza-
ton. He declared one of the greatest
lessons of the war for the army was
that the division must be accepted as
the tactical basis.
strength is easy to mobilize and
equip" he said. THE future Ameri-
can army to be effective must be or
ganized on the division basis"
The most important quality of any
army, said MIR. Baker, was its mobility
And available centers near cities and
port terminals were necessary tc
speedy moving of large units, he
added.
Representative Frank L. Greene, OF
Vermont, suggested the Continental
idea of garrisoning troops in cities
out Secretary Baker declared this
would be too expensive. He said the
most successful camps were those neal
large cities.

Intervention i'm
Cuba Regarded
AS. Possibility
Washington Officials See
No Alternative if General
Crowder's Mission Fails
to Relieve the Situation
Menocal Not Consulted
Island Minister Calls at
State Department and Is
Warned of Needed Action
rron, The Tribune's Washington Burcou

From The Tribune'S Washington BureGu
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Unless Ma
jor General Enoch II. Crowder, who is
expected to reach Havana tomorrow, is
successful in his conferences with
President Menocal to speed up action
by the Cuban courts in deciding the re-
suits of the November elections. Of
ticials here see no alternative but
actual military intervention in the
island and complete control being as
sumed by this government.
An indication Of the gravity of the
situation was given to-day when it was
disclosed that drastic measures may be
necessary to carry out the provisions of
the Platt amendment, which pledges
this government to see that the Cuban
people select Il President legally and
without resort to fraud.
The Presidents instructions to Gem
era Crowder are believed to include
authority to procure from President
Mcnocal assurances that he Will not
impede the legitimate progress of the
courts IN determining whether legal
methods were pursued during the cleo
tons. In the event that disposition
develops in the present Cuban govern
ment to sweep aside the legal rights
OF citizens properly to record their
Votes, actual military occupation OF the
island may result, it is believed
The dispatch of General Crowdcr to
Havana, it is believed here, was decid-
ed upon by President Wilson without
communication with President Memo
cal. 1hls was evidenced when Dr..
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, the Cuban
Minister, called at the State Depart
mcnt to-day and sought information of
General Crowder's mission from Act
ing Secretary of State Davis.
Minister Cespedcs was informed by
Secretary Davis that the White House
announcement conveyed the intelli-
genec that this government desired to
cooperate with the present Cuban gov
ernment in remedying the unsettled
conditions in the island. DR.. Cespodes
told Secretary Davis that he had re-
ceived no word from his government
that the mission of General Crowder
was expected, although he is under
steod to have made the point that
there existed in Cuba apprehension on
The subject of Intervention.
Secretary Davis is understood to
have informed the Cuban diplomat
that this government hoped for a
peaceful settlement of the present
chaotic situation and that the hearty CO.
operation Of the Cuban authorities was
expected in restoring that country to
sound financial, economic and politi-
cal condition.
1t was said that the very last thing
this government would desire to do
would be to intervene in Cuban affairs
but Dr.. Cespedes is understood to
have been told that unless the olec-
ton of November should be properly
decided prior to the termination of the
present administration of PresideN
Menocal OIL May 10 next, the conditions
in Cuba might require additional
steps by this government to prevent
a more serious situation than now con-
fronts the island.

sioners from permitting streets, side
walks and parks to be encumbered with
seating platforms and stands.
"This resolution" observed Senator
Nelson, sis for the protection of the
public, and will put all citizens on an
equal footing. 1t will also make it i'm
possible for those desiring to erect such
structures to speculate at the expense
of the inaugural visitors. We who have
lived here know the exorbitant prices
charged for these seats, and we know
that the people who occupy these stands
are but small part of the crowds that
come here for inavgurations."
we who have served here with Sen
ator Harding" Senator Borah pro-
ceeded, know that his most severe
critic could not charge him with being
fond Of display, and have no doubt at
confronted and could be permitted to
have his way about it, the ceremonies
would be conducted along very simple
and dlgnitied lines, and in accordance
with the situation now facing the coun-
try. l should never have said a word
about this matter if the conditions
were ordinary, but we have $24,00O,OO0,-
900 of indebtedness.
II have before me statement which
is interesting in view of this discus
sion. 1t comes from Marion and it
states that the plans for the Inaugural
ton as outlined contemplate the most
dazzling celebration in the memory of
this generation. Senator Harding, it
says, was originally in favor of a Sc
verely simple inaugural ceremony, and
l have no doubt of the truth of that;
but it adds that he has been prevailed
upon to accept program which he was
assured would bring the greatest
amount of pleasure to the greatest
number of people. / am interested to

He served for two years with an An.eri-
