MARTIN IS LOCATED;
 FLIGHT IS HELD UP
Round World Pliers Postpone
 Activities for About a Week

kanatak, Portage Bay Alaska, April 17.-Major Frederick L. Martin, commander of the United States around-the-world squadron, and his | mechanician, Sergeant Ava Harvey, were recuperating here today while awaiting the arrival from Unalaska Island of a new engine for the flag plane Seattle, after a forced landing Tuesday at Cape Igvak, ITO miles northeast of Chignik, Alaska, en route to the latter place from Seward.
 AS result of the accident, the globe flight will be delayed about one week. The other three cruisers, the Boston, Chicago and New Orleans, were anchored safely today at Chig- nix. They arrived Tuesday under the temporary leaderships of Lieutenant Erik II. Nelson.
 A crack in the crank-case of the cruiser Seattle. causing a leakage of fuel, forced Major Martin to land at Cape Igvak. He and Harvey spent the night in their plane. Word was sent out by Lieutenant Nelson at Chig- nix by wireless and two United States Gestroyers, the Corry and Hull, re- traced their route off Seward in search of the lost plane.
 The destroyers arrived at the scene early yesterday and the Hull took Major Martin and his mechanician aboard, together with the air cruiser. and brought them to kanatak.
 Word was sent to the United States coast guard cutter Haida,stationed at unalaska, on the Island of the same name in the Aleutian Islands group, where supplies for the world plane are located, to rush a new engine to Por- tage Bay. The Haida was scheduled

down. He declared that 70 per cent
 of all the men in state prison have started on a criminal career by the environment of reformatories.
 Says New England Breeds Beggars.
 The custom of allowing children to beg for pennies on the street should be suppressed, he declared. He as- serts that New England is more in tested with beggars, both old and young, than any other section of the country. and affirmed that it is the saying among the criminals of New York that 75 per cent of all Pan handlers" come from these northern states.
 From begging pennies, the children soon find that money can be secured without work and then turn their footsteps to more serious offenses. Soon they are in the reformatories and then in prison.
 But Jimmy" is not only interested in Big Brotherhood for children. He hopes to see the time when the move ment will encompass men who are coming out of prison. It is at that time. he asserted, that a man may be saved from crime, if there is some one to take an interest in him. The trouble is, he explained. that only s5 is given released convict. This does not last long and if he has trouble in getting work, he soon turns to his old haunts. He believes that more money should be given the convict when he is released, and that society in gen. eral will save in the long run.
 Fiction and moving picture stories of the policeman who is ready to frame" a freed convict were de- nounced as untrue. He said that the average police officer stands willing to help a man fresh from prison, and he has yet to find one who will en- deaVor to place a crime at the door Of an innocent man.
 Since his release he has met per sonally and been wished success by the late President Warren G. Hard | ing. Governor Silzer of New Jersey, l Governor Brown of New Hampshire, I Governor Flynn of Rhode Island, ! Governor Cox of Massachusetts Gov ! ernor smith of New York and Gov i ernor Templeton of Connecticut.
