By FREDERICK LEWIS EARP,

Special Correspondent of The Star and North
American Newspaper Alliance.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, April o.
Capt. George II. wilkins and Pilot
Ben Eielson of the Detroit Artic eX-
pedition are safe at Barrow. This
news was flashed TO US by radio from
Point Barrow late last night by
portion of the overland sledge party
of the expedition upon their arrival
at the tiny colony in northernmost
Alaska. Thus is ended a suspense Of
ii days caused by no word from Capt.
Wilkins, commander Of the expedi-
ton, since he and his pilot, Ben Eiel-
son. started their third air freighting
trip from Fairbanks to Barrow fort
night ago, in the monoplane. Alaskan.
Alarm had been growing here.
Plane Forced Back Three Times.
Wilkins and Eielson arrived at Bar
row in the Alaskan. Their plane is
in good condition. After failing to
communicate with Fairbanks by their
own radio, they tried three times to
hop off on their return journey. but
each time met with trouble. They
Will start the return today, weather
conditions permitting.
The news that wilkins and Eielson
were safe was flashed through the air
by Radio Operator Robert Waskey,
one Of the five members of the Over
land sledge party, using a light port
able set which had been severely
racked by overuse on the party's de-
iayed mush through the Arctic north
land of Alaska
Met by Relief Dogs.
The arrival of Waskey in advance
of his companions gave Capt. Capt.
Wilkins his first opportunity in two
weeks to communicate with the out
side world. Waskey and his light
portable radio set were rushed into
Barrow yesterday in the racing dog
sledge of Earl Harmon, representa-
tive of the Detroit Arctic expedition
at Barrow, who had gone out to meet
the long overdue mushers and hasten
the arrival of the radio operator.
The husky dogs of the overland
party had been tagged by the forced
marches of the last few days. Sandy
Smith, leader of the overland party,
and Earl Rossman, photographer,
are still mushing into Barrow.
One day behind Smith and Rossman
are the two mushers of the overland
party, Anderson and Edman. bringing
in the weariest of the dogs. The whole
party has been through "a grueling
trek through the Endicott Mountains
and along the Arctic coastal plains
since they left Hot Springs, near Fair
banks, central Alaska. on March 2.
The seven weeks mush and climb has
been a dangerous and heartbreaking
undertaking, and at times, from the
radioed reports of Waskey, has been
near breakdown.

Then simultaneously will be brought
to completion both expeditions, prep

Both Comdr. Byrd and Capt. Amund-

The Pole. or whether the American

But the spirit of earnest rivalry un-
doubtedly exists among the crew of
both expeditions, just as the public
mind must inevitably dramatiZe the
extraordinary coincidence of these at

It Is too early to speculate as yet

that every resource of the government should b.

Federal investigation of an alleged death ring
in Usage county has revealed murder plot so as.
founding, brutal that the ordinary daily killings
by Chicago gunner lose much Of their pertinency
by comparison. Nothing 50 far-reaching in MUIR
ders has before been revealed says the United
States district attorney.
Federal authorities have been so conservative in
their announcements that all details were not fur
nished the newspapers but apparently in some in
stances entire Indian families were victims of the
murder syndicate" So bold did the Syndicate
become that some Of the Indians strung electric
lights around their homes to protect themselves
from the assassns.
The murder plots were comparatively simple we
are told. The Indians, who wards of the gov
eminent, were given monthly allowances, although
many are worth millions Of dollars. The Indians
spent these allowances and then borrowed money
from the white men, These white men took out
insurance on the lives Of the Indians. Many oe
these Indians were killed soon after their policies
were approved, We are told.
This reign of horror continued for long time
because political influence back Of it was SO great
that it closed the mouths Of friends and relatives Of
the Victims thereby thwarting Investigations But
that political influence apparently has lost some
OF its potency and it is to be hoped that the men
who are guilty Of those terrible crimes will paw in
direct proportion to their guilt.

It's just one more Of that kind. The insti
