lives risked in the exploration of its
Businesses.
The rescue expedition which left

of the expedition led by Alan Craw-
ford, of Toronto, Ontario, which
went to the island in 1921, to claim
it in the name of the King of Eng
land, has returned with the report
that all members of the party ap-
parently have perished, with the ex-
ception of the Eskimo woman taken
along as cook for the party. f
This woman was found alone on
the island. She said she had sub
sisted on few crackers and on
game she had managed to snare.
The rescue party was led by Har-
old Noice, who reported that he
had had no trouble reaching Wran-
gell in the power schooner Donald
son. The Eskimo girl said that
three members of the Crawford par
ty perishe,- while attempting to
cross the ice to Siberia. Another
died three months ago and was
buried when the Noice party arriv-
ed.
Noice said he left thirteen Eski-
mos and one white man on the is
land to continue search to find, if
possible, the bodies of Crawford,
Frederick Maurer, of New Phila-
delphia, Ohio, and Milton Gale,
New Braunfels, Texas, who were lost
in the ice. Lorne f. Knight Of
McMinnville, Oregon, died of scurvv
June 90 of this year and his body
was cared for by Noice. Black
Jack, an Eskimo, husband of Ada
the cook, died here while his wife
was absent.

a strike of 155, 900 of the anthracite
miners in full force the peace par
ley between the operators and the
union representatives adjourned
here today until Wednesday.
Reports reaching union .headqunr-
ters as the conference began. indi-
Gated that the strike of 155, 900 work
ers is completely effective.
Position of Belligerents
This is the way the statements
indicated the two sides now stand:
The miners will accpet the prin-
ciple of 10 per cent wage increase
but want revision of details in the
wage scale.
The operators say they cannot pay
10 per cent increase.
The miners believe the governor
should have included the full check
off in his suggestions.
The, miners accept the principle
of collective bargaining, but they
want the governor to understand
they will not submit to arbitration.
The operators say collective bar
gaining as they understand i al
ready is in force.
The miners accepted the eight
hour day, and the operators said
they would agree to it in principle
although it would add $2,250,000 to
the annual wage bill and five cents
ton to the cost of coal at the
mines.

Mot a wheel turned in the
mines and collieries of the anth-
racite region today.
Practically every one of the 1885,
600 hard coal workers obeyed the
"strike order'' which went into
effect at midnight and an ominous
silence prevailed this morning where
usually the air is filled with the
shrieks of mine whistles calling the
men to work.
Company" men, monthly en-
ployes, and maintenance men, al
lowed by the union to remain on
the job, were at work putting the
finishing touches of preparations to
close the collieries. Mules which
have not seen daylight for q year
were being hoisted out of the mines
and the last ears of coal in the
breakers were being loaded.

Legion Prepares

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Auto
"gypsies,' caravans, and tourists
who plan westward trips to San
Francisco for the fifth annual con
vention of the American Legion will
find ample facilities for their en-
tertainment in the convention city.
Due to efforts of the convention
committee, huge parking area has
been reserved near the center of
the city, and will be provided with
every possible convenience.
The tourist camp is a portion of
the military reservation at Fort
Mason, and covers two blocks. Army
camping rules will prevail on the
lot, and the area will be model
for cleanliness and system. Lava
tories. running water, tenting ac-
comodations, community ovens will
be provided on the space, and shops,
telephone and telegraph stations are
to be found within a few minutes
walk of the area.
The parking space is situated at
the end of Van Ness Avenue, one
of the widest and finest automobile
thoroughfares in San Francisco,
about six minutes ride from the
down town districts. The legion ac-
tivities will be within less than n
four minutes ride of the parking
place. The only requirement for
entrance will be a paid-up legion
card, and no reservation of space
will be necessary.
Several state delegations are plan
ming automobile pilgrimages to the
convention city, and will doubtless
use the parking area. @

GENEVA BODY
HOLDS SECRET
WAR SESSION
Athens Appeal Before
COuncil.MOst Serious
Ever Considered
BY HENRY WOOD.

GENEVA, September 1.-The
league of nations council this af-
ternoon formally took up the Greek
request for intervention in the cri-
teal alteration with Italy. The
council went into secret session at
ps m. to consider the appeal.
Viscount Ishii of Japan presided
at the council meeting and a Greek
representative participated.
Greece's demand for Intervention
by the league was received at league
headquarters before the opening of
the morning session and the as
sembled representatives of the pow
ers were Immediately informed that
the most serious problem with which
the ieague has yet had to deal will
be presented later in the day.
The Greek appeal to the league
was dispatched before the oeeupa-
tion of Corfu by the Italians. 1t
asks for Intervention under articles
12 and Is of the covenant.
Il. Private Conversations
Following the mornings adjourn
ment council members began private
conversations in an effort to agree
on some method of handling Greece s
application for intervention. The
late afternoon conference when the
Greco-Italian situation probably will
be discussed, will be secret.
Council members are confident
Italy could easily be reduced to
terms by application of article 16
of the covenant which empowers
the league members to conduct an
economic blockade. 1t was declared,
however, that the blockade would
not be effective without the sup
port of Britain and France. AS
these countries probably entertain
divergent views on Italy, their full
support probably could not be secur-
ed. rkt
TIL council today requested Greece
to designate an official representa-
tive to participate in the council s
deliberations this afternoon on the
Greek demand for intervention.
Greece is not member of the
council.
URGE ACCEPTANCE
LONDON, Sept. 1.-Allied dip
lomats in Athens are preparing to
present note to the Greek govern
ment urging acceptance of Italy's
ultimatum without reservation, a
Central News dispatch reported to-
day.
The note delivered by the italian
ambassador, declaring Corfu would
be held until all conditions of the
ultimatum were met, declared
Greece's answer to the ultimatum
was equivalent to complete rejection
of ltaly's demands. Therefore, the
note declares, Italy was forced to
remind Greece of the true sense of
her responsibilities.
In seizing Corfu, Italy had no in
tention of being responsible for an
act of war, but desired merely to
protect her own prestige and dem
onstrate her inflexible intention of
obtaining reparations, the note con
tinued.
The note concluded with the state
ment that Italy is hopeful Greece
would not commit any act which
might change "the peaceful nature
of this step.''
