Wheeler Brings Queer
 Looking Small Boat
 IJnaIaska To Seward

One of the many strange things seen on the local water front these days, and especially since the steam CT Starr arrived in port from the Westward, is the sealskin oomiak which Second Officer Wheeler, is proudly displaying daily to his many friends, all of whom he has endeavor- ed to take out for brief jauunt about the bay. Some have taken chance with him, then again, there have been many who HAVE NOT!
 The unique skin boat was purchas- ed by Mr. Wheeler at Unalaska and has quite history attached to it. It is said that four EskimOs crossed the Boring sea from the Siberian coast. The craft was so small that there was just room enough for the four of them to pile in, in fact, they slept sitting up. Food was carried in their pock- cts and water in a couple of small oaken casks, which in former years, held a liquid considerably stronger in taste.
 One of the remarkable features of the little boat, which is one of the fin est sea boats imaginable, is the ivory oresockets, luxury never heard of before, at least never seen in Seward
 In the meantime, prior to the next sailing of the Starr, Officer Wheeler extends cordial invitation to his friends, whom he has not asked, to give him the opportunity to take them out for a spin

BALFOUR RESCUED
FROM SYRIAN MOB
Algerian Cavalry, Called to Drive
Hostile Throng From Hotel,
Kills Two.
By the Associated Press.


DAMASCUS, Syria, April 10.-Alge-
rian cavalry galloping through the
streets of Damascus with drawn
swords and eight armored cars ma
neuvering with the troops are credited
with having saved Lord Balfour from
the hostile mob of 5000 people which
attempted to attack his hotel yester-
day. Two were killed and many in
jured before the disturbance was
quelled.
The mob almost succeeded in reach
ing the hotel where the veteran
British statesman is staying, the ef-
forts of the Syrian police having
failed completely to check the demon
strators although extra precautions
had been taken because of the attack
against his hotel Wednesday night.
The mounted troops and armored
cars soon scattered the crowds up
side streets.
The demonstrations against Lord
Balfour are due to his work in the
establishment of a national Jewish
home in Palestine. He is the author
of the Balfour declaration, by which
Great Britain announced support to
the Zionist movement. Lord Balfour
went to Palestine recently to partici-

PLAN LANE SYSTEM
FOR RUSH TRAFFIC
Trial to Be Made-War on
AII-Day Parking Proposed.
Truck Speeds Fixed.

A plan Of rescrving two-thirds of
a wide thoroughfare for south bound
traffic in the morning and two-thirds
for north bound vehicles in the after
noon rush period may be tried out
here in the near future, Col. 7. c.
Moller, traffic engineer. said today.
Col. Moller said that before such a
method is applied to any through
artery it probably will be given a
temporary trial on some short block
like Madison place. between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and II street.
Mark on Three Lanes.
In carrying out this scheme the
roadway would be marked off into
three lanes. In the morning rush the
two west lanes would be south bound
and the lane along the east curb
would be for north bound machines.
In the evening the two east lanes
would be north bound and the one
at the west side would be for south
bound.
The subcommittee working with
Traffic Director Eldridge on the re-
vision of the traffic code has practi-
cally settled all of the important ques-
tions with the exception of parking
in the congested area, and this will be
disposed of at a conference tomorrow
night. Monday night the full advisory
committee will go over the tentative
draft of the new regulations. Mr..
Eldridge expects to be ready by We'd
nesday or Thursday of next week to
submit his recommendations to the
Commissioners.
Prompt Action Expected.
The new regulations will become ef-
fective May 3. and. since 10 days no
tice must be given the public, the city
heads probably will act within a few
days after receiving the director s
recommendations.

SHEPHERD PLANS
i. S. COURT FIGHT
Denied Bail by Illinois Su-
preme Bench-More
Deaths Hinted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 10.-Federal courts
may be asked by the defense to take
jurisdiction of the case of William
ID. Shepherd, charged with the MUIR
der of his foster son, William y.
McClintock. it wIs learned today af
ter the Illinois Supreme Court At
Springfield had refused a writ of
futile attempt in the defense effort
to get Shepherd out of Jail.
The latest setback in the campaig IN
to free Shepherd on bail came less
than "a hours after the coroner had
announced DIR. w. u. McNally, cor
oners chemist. had found sufficient
mercury in the vital organs of Mrs.
Emma Nelson McClintock to have
caused death and expressed the
opinion that Mrs. McClintock was
murdered. She was the mother of
BILLY" McClintock and died Is years
ago.
Hold Evidence inadequate.
That the Federal courts may be
asked TO consider the case presum-
ably upon constitutional grounds. was
hinted by William Scott Stewart, Shep-
herds attorney, who three times, prior
to going to the States highest court,
ehad sought and was denied bail for
Shepherd by the criminal courts. The
effort to obtain a writ of habeas cor
pus from the high court was intended
to free Shepherd on the ground that
he was being deprived of his liberty
Illegally. Illinois law provides that
one charged with murder may be
granted bail unless the proof is evi-
dent or the presumption of guilt is
great The defense has contended
that proof of guilt is not evident nor
is there any great presumption of
guilt in Shepherds case.
"All this talk about Mrs. McClin-
took and DIR. Olson being poisoned is
merely an effort to infiame the public
mind against Shepherd said Attorney
Stewart 1T is Irrelevant and ridicu-
Ious."
Suspicion that five deaths have re-
suited from poison in connection with
the McClintock fortune marks the
sinister history of the estate, through
the last five decades.
Following the indictment of Shep-
herd, echoes of the past, long silent,
formed themselves to hint that other
mysterious deaths were linked with
the old tale of a deadly curse that
followed the estate.

While officials of wireless companies
said they knew of no atmospheric
condition which would prevent COM

of the American Museum of Natural
History, said he felt no apprehension
concerning the safety Of the expe-
dition.
Unprecedented weather had pre-

ship was being withheld.

be asked to send a Government ship
