Predicts Failure
Air Hunt for Land
In Arctic Region

Seattle, Jan. 1S-(AP)-Failure of
an airplane expedition to be led by
Captain George Hubert Wilkins over
the Arctic ocean from Point Barrow,
Alaska, in search of a continent be-
twee2 Alaska and the North Pole was
predicted here today by Captain L.
T. Mcintyre, veteran Alaska trader,
musher and adventurer.
To avoid adverse weather condi-
tions the Wilkins party plans to hop
off early in the season, either the
latter part of March or early April.
by doing So" said Mcintyre,
they rightfully figure that they
will beat the fog. Arctic fogs do not
rise that early in the season.
But" he added, they are assum-
ing they will haul their fuel for their
airplanes with snow tractors to Point
Barrow, across the country from
Fairbanks between now and the time
set for the hop-off. They will never
get across the Endicott range. They
Will find no easy trail, but great hum
mocks of snow and ice that their
tractors can't crawl over or go
around. Even dogs couldn't haul all
that gasoline across the mountains at
this time of year, but dogs would
come nearer doing it than tractors"

Four Democratic
Candidates for
Presidency in 1928

New York, Jan. lS.-(APJ-Cam-
paigns for two and possibly four can
didates for the 1928 Democratic pres
idential nomination are definitely UNI
der way, the New York Tribune says
today.
The four aspirants named are Gov
ernors Albert c. Richie Of Maryland,
A.. Victor Donahey of Ohio, Alfred f..
Smith of New York, and former Secre-
tary Of the Treasury William G. Nc
Adoo.
Governor Ritchie, the Times says. is
described by some Democrats as a par
ticular menace to the chances of New
York's favorite son. As an indication
Of his strength, his friends are quoted
as pointing to reports that Bernard M.
Baruch, a McAdoo supporter in 1924,
is reported as favoring the Maryland
governor.
In 1924 the Maryland delegation of
16 consistently cast it's vote for Gov.
Richie, but it was considered prob
able that 1t would switch to Gov.
Smith IL decisive point were reached.
Governor Richie is an outstanding
champion of states rights, including
the power to determine what constf-
tutes Intoxicating liquor under the 18th
amendment.
Governor Donabey, the Times says,
is considered handicapped by the pos
sible necessity for running this fall
for third term as means Of keep
ing to the fore during the pre-conveT-
ton campaign.
|. Governor Smiths recent announce
rnent that he will retire to private life
at the end Of his term has caused con-
fusion in both Democratic and Repub.
lfcan ranks. The Times states that all
advices indicate Republican legisla-
tors are planning to cooperate with
him rather than give occa sion to Keep
him in state politics by defeating any
of his program.
Democrats are wondering whether
his announcement applies to national
as well as state politics. but the gen.
eral belief is that 1t gives him free
hand for the national campaign. There
Is some talk of running his political
protege. Mayor Walker of New York,
for vice president If the governor is
eliminated from the fight for first
place % the ticket.
Some influential Democrats, the
Times adds are reported to be opposed
to the nomination of either Governor
Smith or Mr.. McAdoo, whose names
they fear would again result in Sc
rious deadlock as in 1924 They are
said to favor the nomination of Sena-
tor Thomas ]. Walsh of Montana, who
declined to become a candidate at the
last convention.

Modification of the volstead act IS
inevitable, the committee letter said.
1.-THE only question is what form
modification shall take and when
such modification will be made. <
"The Federal Council of Churches
of Christ In America, after its re-
cent search as to the effect of prohi-
bition on the community as regards
Industrial, social and moral condi-
lions, stated that drinking by young
people as compared with pre- prohi-
bition times Is more and the attf-
tude toward law enforcement and re-
spect for laws in general is WORSE
THE Federal council also stated
that the Anh-Saloon League of
Iowa. after a survey of conditions in
Dubuque, Clinton, Davenport. Mus
catine and Burlington said rampant
lawlessness increasing by leaps and
bounds is forcing Iowa to face the
problem of either demanding strict
enforcement of present prohibition
laws or else of modifying these laws
to permit the sale of light wines anr
beer
"The Anti Saloon League having,
since the passage Of the Volstead act,
insistently and necessarily demanded
strict enforcement the only alter
native, in view of the above condf-
tions. Is modification"
+ The letter quoted Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury Andrews in
charge of prohibition, as announcing
that home made wines could lie made
legally of any alcoholic strength as
long as they were not actually in-
toxicating in fact
Beer, however, is illegal, Il IL
contains as much as one-haf of one
percent of alcohol" the letter said.

Death Phila. Girl
Due to Accident

Philadelphia. Jan. 1S.-(AP)-The
death of Elizabeth Holmes, .16, shot
through the heart yesterday at the
nome of James Hurley, was probably
due to an accident, police said today.
Although their investigation was
still incomplete, the authorities said
the circumstances surrounding the
shooting and statements of tye-wit-
nesses led them to this belief. They
have not. however. entirely abandoned
their original theory that the girl was
slain and are searching for a young
man who was with Miss Holmes at
the time and who disappeared shortly
afterward. The identity of this man
was not disclosed.
William Corey and Miss Dolly Dean.
who also were with Miss Holmes when
the fatal shot was fired, were said to
have told the authorities that it was
due to an accident. The details of their
statements were not revealed These
two. with Hurley and his wife, were
detained as material witnesses.

The volcano was pouring a lava stream
some 90 feet wide and as many feet
deep into the ocean. creating a shoal

navigation.
The contact Of lava and ocean water
created so much vapor that it was i'm
possible to see the volcano clearly.
