Food II Still Alive

CoRDovA, Alaska, May g.
Major Frederick L. Martin, with
his flag plane Seattle, of the
United States army round-the-

Despite the fact that the coast
guard cutters Algonquin, Pioneer,
and Haida and all available can
merry boats. have been searching
for twenty-four hours they have
found no trace of the missing
a;rman.
Searching Small Bays.
The Algonquin is sending small
boats along the shore and into
small bays that larger vessels can
not enter in order that no nook
along the Alaskan peninsula from
Chignik to Shumigan islands may
remain UNEMPLOYED.
Lieutenant Bissell, advance officer
Of the flight, is directing the search
from on board the Haida which has
been stationed at Dutch harbor.
The Haida carries all Of the spare
parts needed for QUILTING the big
Douglas planes being used in the
flight and will be able to furnish
needed repairs if the Seattle is
found disabled.
The weather remains unchanged.
Cold winds are blowing, carrying
snow from the mountain tops.
Carried Little Food.
The search for the missing avi-
ator will be continued with every
available resource and IL no trace
is found by the vessels now patrol
ing the coast line, Major Martins
companion flyers at Dutch Harbor
will fly over the route he was to
follow in an effort to find him.
Major Martin took off from CHG
mix at 1920 a. m. Wednesday. The
Seattle carried little or no food sup
plies and fears were expressed here
| that Major Martin and his mechanic
| Sergeant Harvey, may be suffering
from hunger If they were forced
to land in some isolated cove.

Declares Grosnan Was Con.
victed on Proper Evidence.
Discusses Dry Act

Kenesaw NJ. Lands, former
United States Judge, and high CON-
missioner Of baseball, took the wit
ness stand today as a "star" wit
ness at the Wheeler Brookhart In
vestigation Of the Department of
Justice. He flayed politicians who
seek pardons for criminals.
Lands was called in connection
with charges that Philip Grossman.
a Chicago bootlegger, used political
influence to escape serving a years
sentence imposed by Lands in
1921, when the latter was a Fed
eral Judge in Chicago. He said
several witnesses testified against
Grossman and that the sentence
was ample.
Applause Greets Lands.
The appearance Of Judge lands
was the signal for an outburst Of
applause from the audience. AS
word Of his presence ran through
the Senate building, spectators de-
serted rival investigations to hear
the baseball car testify.
While waiting for Lands to ar
rive, the committee heard W. B.
Wooden, chief counsel Of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, tell Of COM
plants filed with the Department
of Justice against concerns believed
to be violating antitrust laws.
Wooden repeated earlier charges
that the department failed to
prosecute the alleged trusts.
AS Lands appeared, a battery Of
| motion picture men went into
action. The room was flooded with
high-powered lights and Lands
began his testimony to the click Of
cameras.

Of the pardon Of Grossman, we
found a letter in the records from
G. w. Middlekopf, the assistant

said Senator Wheeler Dem) of
Montana Can you tell us what
the situation was concerning the
Grossman case?"
"Nfiddlelxopf talked ITO me about a
case, and 1t may have been Gross
mans case" said Lands. HE told
me I had sent a man to prison on
the strength Of testimony from a
witness who subsequently proved to
be a liar.
"IIe asked me for some comment
on the case, and told him to go
to the front and put It in the
record, that he had prosecuted a
case against a man on the testi-
mony OF liar. I told him to make
tho case public and publicly de-.

Sentenced For Contempt.
Lands explained he had given
Grossman a years sentence on q

proven that he continued to soil
whiskey after an Injunction was
issued against his saloon.
In previous testimony, Middle,

Pickett Smith was seriously but not
dangerously wounded Saturday after

by County Policeman Jennings en-

only a minor encounter the stranger
went his way before it was discovered

a physicians office, where it was
found that the knife had been driven

lung. The blade struck an artery
which it was necessary to tie togeth-

for that purpose.

AL BANY MAN LOST
FLIVvER AT DAWSON
WAS FOUND DOCILLY STAND
ING IN THE YARD AT THE
TERRELL JAIL.

Gomez said an Albany man as he
alighted at Dawson from the Central
of Georgia train from Montgomery
and saw that his faithful flivver, which
he had left tied to telephone pole at
the station the morning before, was
not awaiting him.
1t happened that the man in ques-
ton, name unknown, was suddenly
called to Montgomery, and the quick
lest route was to come to Dawson by
automobile and catch the early morn
ing train to the Alabama city. He ar
rived in Dawson just in time to board
the train, and did not check his fivver
lat a garage.
1t was his intention to return on the
night train but was delayed until
Thursday noon, when the little scene
above was enacted. He Immediately
got i'll touch with Chief of Police Hill,
who began an inquiry which led to
the jail yard, where the trusty Liz
was docilly standing. 1t was identi-
fed by its owner, and with a whoop
of Joy he rushed to the car and gently
stroked its radiator.
Sheriff Woods had removed the car
from the railway station late in the
afternoon, as it had no tag and was
believed by the officer to have been
stolen. The Albany citizen offered sat
isfactory proof that he had tag, how
ever, and was allowed to depart joy
fully on his way home, happy that the
faithful car had been we'll tended over
night and was again safely in his pos
session.
