WORLD PLIERS
 NOW FACE PERHS
 OF ICE AND FOG
Naval Vessels Patrol Between Iceland And
 Greenland
} By OTIS PEABODY SWIFT

yLeased Wire To The Age -Herald.) { ON BOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND, Aug. 15.-Heading toward a newly dis covered harbor which is believed to be . much safer landing place than the ice-blocked port of Angmasalik, the two American round-the-world flyers now expect to take off Saturday on their .long-delayed hop from Iceland to Greenland.
 Although an ice-free harbor awaits them, the 42S mile jump from Reyk- iavik may not be made without great peril. Midway along the route. where the Richmond is now stationed in readiness for the flight Of the Ameri- cans, heavy fog prevails and great sears are sweeping the Richmonds aft erdecks.
 In biting cold wind and a stinging rain, the Richmond is rolling so that at times her decks gain an angle of S6. degrees and everything not screwed or lashed fast is slamming and banging st every roll.
 While these conditions may not seriously affect the flyers if they can stay in. the air throughout the flight, they indicate the extreme peril which one or both of the flyers will encounter if forced to descend into this storm swept Arctic current.
 As far as the navy is concerned, however, everything is ready for the Iceland Greenland hop. The destroyer, Reid. is the nerest convoy ship to Reykjavik, standing by ready for any necessary action about halfway between the Richmond and the Iceland coast. Next in line after the Richmond is the U. s. s. Raleigh, while. the destroyer, Billingsley, is just outside the ice

 The j1ry's verdict said:
 "This jury finds that the deceased came to her death by gunshot wound, and that it is unable to determine whether it was inflicted in homicidal, accident or sucicide manner"
 Selby, held under suspicion of hay ing shot Mrs. Mors to death in the apartment where they lived and were known as "Mr. and Mrs. N. Shields, :, was not present at the inquest. District Attorney Keys said that he would hold him and would have him arraign- ed "soon on formal charge of mur- der.'
 Indictment Expected
 "The state has enough evidence to convict Selby for murder of this un. fortunate woman and. the coroner's jury verdict will not alter our plans to go ahead and prosecute him." Reyes said. "The grand jury viii proceed with its investigation of the crime and it is my belief that an indictment charging murder will be returned aganst Selby early next week."
 After the jury viewed Mrs. Mors' body, which had not been embalned. Dr. F. Wagner, who performed an au- topsy, confererd with Reyes. Dr. Wagner told Reyes, and later testified, that the weapon which caused Mrs. Mors' death had been close to her head.

This construction was the subject matter oi two ordinances at the time of construcs ton. with the understanding between the railroads and the city, as part of the consideration for said action, that n reasonable time would be given for construction of the other viaduct and the underpasses as shown on the plans adopted. I shall make further investi- gation of the records and you will prob ably hear from me again on the sup- ject."
 Wynn win Fight Suit
 If tue city and the railroads reach a final agreement next Saturday and an injunction suit is subsequently, filed by property owners, the city's legal depart ment, headed by City Attorney W. ]. Wynn, will be called on to resist any move to block action. On the other hand, Commissioner Dickson said, some property owners will be damaged and will be entitled to settlement.
 City authorities, as well as the pro testing property owners, are practically unanimous in the view th9t the rail- roads will agree to pay 76 per cent of the cost of constructing the proposed Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth street spans. At conference with the city commission and Chamber of Commerce members last week, they agreed to pay only 50 per cent. However, the protest of property owners against viaducts and their advocacy of underpasses, will help to bring the carriers quickly to terms, officials believe.

L0yIng People TO Crime

Judge J. Stanley Webster Of q dis.
trict court in Washington in which
the city of wenatchee is situated
charged a jury recently to the effect
that when the evidence showed that
defendant was lured and persuaded
into the commission Of a crime by a
stool pigeon who sought personal
profit by making q case against him
the jury should disregard the evidence.
A Spokane newspaper thus states the
facts Ia the case and quotes the charge
Of the Judge to the jury.

hibition director Of the state, and H.
v. Mooring, another prohibition Off
Ger. with their wives represented
themselves as tourists and, under the
alleged prstense that one Of the women
was Ill and needed a stimulant, the
men prevailed upon McPhail, the own
er of the Elman hotel IN wenatchee,
to secure them q bottle Of brandy
from q bootlegger. Thereupon they
arrested McPhail. MePhaiI admitted
that he secured the liquor for the Of
fieers. The jury brought IN q verdict
Of not guilty.
q Public policy forbids that Off
eers sworn TO enforce the laws should
seek TO have such laws violated or
that those whose duty II is 70 detect
criminals shouId make or create Grim
in&ls.' Judge Webster said IN his in
ntructions 70 the jury. II you find
from the eyideaee that the action Of
tie officers, Mooring and whitney. or

pose Of Inducing entieing on turing the
