K. A. BARTLETT SEEKS
EMPIRE BEYOND ICE

Washington--Capt Robert A. Bart
lett, famous Arctic explorer and COM
panion of Peary on his successful
polar trip, has been commissioned by
the National Geographic society to
gather data in the far north in prep
aration for future aerial explorations
of the Arctic regions.
Capt. Bartlett has arrived in Seattle
to join the United States coast guard
ship, the Bear from which he will
make his observations during the
Bears annual cruise in Alaskan and
Siberian waters.
A romantic feature of the voyage
is the fact that the ship which went
to rescue Greedy, now, in making what
may be it's last trip. helps to pave the
way for future air exploration of tho
Arctic.
Capt Bartlett will study especially
the locations available in Alaska for
bases of operation for aircraft which
would fly zigzag course of the million
square mile area between Point Bar
row and the north pole-which area is
wholly unexplored. He will report.
upon harbor facilities for supply ships,
possible landing places for various
types of craft between Nome and Point,
Barrow, the terrain across country,
and along the coast, upon air. water,
temperature, wind and sea surface
conditions.
The navy department has extended
Capt. Bartlett every cooperation in
his work, which will be of great value
as a bats of explorations such as
those proposed when the Shenandoah's
north pole trip was planned.

SIX MEN EXECUTED
FOR MURDER OF ONE

Amite, La.-Six men who three
years ago attempted to rob a bank
resulting in the murder of a man,
went to their deaths at the end OF
the hangman's moose in the Tangipa-
hoa parish Jail.
They were executed in pairs, the
aged cowled hangman running from
the improvised platform Immediately
after each pair had dropped, only to
return after tSeir bodies had been cut
down to prepare the nooses for
those next. The executioner brought
his total to thirteen.
The men were hanged on the double
gallows in thirty minute intervals
with clocklike regularity, four dying
calmly and the other two, one as a
result of an attempt at suicide and
the other of nervous collapse, realizing
little of what was in progress. The
executions began at noon.
Lamantia, while Leona and Dea-
more. the first pair to hang, were
swaying from the gallows and RIM
and CYCLIC were waiting to begin their
walk to the scaffold, obtained a small
poeketknife he had secreted and
stabbed and gashed himself in the
chest several times.
RIM and Giglio were returned to
their cell and Lamantia was taken
into the corridor for an examination
by physicians. They pronounced the
wounds superficial, and those in
charge of the executions sent Lamar
tia and Bocchio to the scaffold. Boo
chic had to be carried to the scaffold.
Lamantia, with his shirt stained
with blood from the self-inf1icted
wounds, could not stand and he was
seated in a chair on the trap and went
to his death in that manner.
