 The Crisis at Nome
 There was triumphal arch wait ing in Nome, and i've score sour doughs were In readiness to haul down the intrepid Norge--but Amundsen landed at Teller, sort of petered-out camp to the north. and little better than filling sta tion for malamutes. The leading citizens of Nome, camp well and favorably renowned. returned their neckties to the local clothier. grocer and hardware merchant having no further use for adOrnment. The members of the reception committee looked grave. The graver they look ed the madder they got, and the madder they got the more pro nOunced was their opinion that Amundsen hadn't done right by the notable camp of Nome. Now. If it had been any other place but Teller the top of mountain. the jagged flank of berg, the chill, congealing waters of the wild Arctic sea--it wouldn't have been so bad. But Teller! Of all possible places. Tel Ter!

Mobile also said that the placing of four an chors and cables connecting them was very good idea that those In charge had contemplated in their arrangements for the safe anchor ing of the Norge for her flight from Rome to Nome. The idea of the cables, he says was good one and they would have had no trouble in picking up the cable with their an- chor, which would have been won- derful In holding the Norge for any length of time. Col. Mobile says we should try to secure the construction of moOring mast and hangar for dirigibles. The moor mast of the type used for the Norge cost s5000 to construct in Italy and would probably cost little more In this country. he believes 1t will not be long before Nome will be visited by several dirigibles. and
 has hopes of returning to Nome In the near future and will surely come to Nome. as this ia the logical place to stop.

JOHN n. sPRECKELS
 LED EVENTFUL CAREER

John D. Spreckels who died at his Coronado home in California. last Monday, led an eventful career. he following Is biographical sketch of his life:
 John Diedrich Spreckels, son or Claus Spreckels who branched out of the grocery business to lay the fou ndatiOn for the Spreckels for tune in the sugar industry. found time while working for his father to start a shipping enterprise which developed into the present Oceanic Steamship company.
 The son of the Sugar King" be- gan his industrial education at the bottom. From humble positions he studied every department. The need for ships in the development of the sugar trade which his father power in west coast industry had pioneered in California and the Hawaiian Islands led him to from shipping concern of his own. In 1880, he built the first of his commercial fleet. He put these ves- sels in the Hawaiian trade. and later extended their scope to include Samoa, the Fiji Islands and Austra- lia.
 MT. spreckel's shipping efforts were directed primarily to extending and broadening the sugar industry.
 In this and other ventures, he was assisted by his younger brother, Adolph B. spreekels, who died in 1924.
 As the years passed. MT. Spree kels branched out into many other lines of endeavor until his enter prises included the Western Sugar Refining company. the Spreckels Sugar company. the Pajaro Valley and the San Diego Electric Railway companies. the SanDtego & Arizona Railway, the San Diego Union and Tribune company. banking houses and hotels.
 In sugar and shipping circles. he was known in most of the principal ports of the continent. particularly in the Pacific which his boats cov- cred.
 Many of MT. Spreckels' ventures primarily were for public benefit. In addition to his philanthropies. he rendered public service in practical ways such as developing a water system for sale to city. improving 6 railway which was not rendering adequate public service and financ- ing railway construction when terri torial development of communities was handicapped by lack of trans portation outlet.
 He was one of those who made the Panama California Exposition of 1915 possible and in addition contributed to 1t a beautiful out door organ on which concerts still are played daily.
 Among his charitable benefac- tions was the finincing of a wing to the Mercy hospital. San Diego. . gift of more than quarter of a million dollars.

NEW YORK, May 5.--Charley Hoff's
reported refusal to appear in track
meet in San Francisco Saturday has
drawn warning from the Amateur
Athletic Union to the world cham
pion pole vaulter from Norway that
unless you have reasonable basis for
refusing to compete there the foreign
relations committee will cancel your
payment for further appearances in
the United States"
The foreign relations committee has
charge of his tour.
One of the reasons advanced by
Hoff for his refusal was that he did
not know until three days ago that
he was to appear at San Francisco.
A A. U. officials said today that Hoff
was advised of the Seattle, Los Ange-
les and San Francisco contests at the
same time and that on March 81 they
received a letter from him in which
he said that he hoped to compete in
all three cities.
The letter noted the change in date
for the San Francisco meet.
