ALASKA TOWN
AFIRESENDS
FRANTIC SOS
killisnoo Operator Forced
from Key by Flames Calls
for Help.

Seattle, June 9.-(AP)-A frantic
sos telling Of the threatened de-
struction by fire Of an Alaskan
village was picked out Of the air
last night by the naval radio sta
tion at Cordova, Alaska, and relayed
to the station 1T Bremertou, Wash.
The message read: "SOS. Whole
Village on island Of Killisnoo afire.
Cannot last very much longer.
Please rush all possible assistance. -
Killisnoo is IN island opposite
Peril Strait, in Chatham Strait,
Alexander Archipelago, near lati-
tude 57:28. The village Of Killisnoo
is on the island. It's population is
native for tho most part. A post
office was established there in
July, 1884.
After the first message was re-
ceived, there was silence for q time.
Then the feeble splutter Of the low
power set was heard again.
"The fire is getting too hot now,'
the operator tapped, "ga* to 60. Am
suffocating. Goodbye and hurry"
Within . short time the United
States light house tender Fern was
steaming toward Killinsoo at full
speed. She was expected to reach
the flaming town within ten hours.
The survey boat Explorer, at sea
far to the west, heard the sos and
was expected to arrive at Killisnoo
after the Fern.

ARCTIC ACE IS
NORTH DAKOTAN
Stefansson Wants State to
Claim Ben Eiels0n for It's
Own in the Future
Has North Dakota an inferiorit,

Has North Dakota an inferiority
complex?
Why doesn't it tell the world that
Ben Eielson, aviator who success
fully flew over the north pole, is a
North Dakotan and that he was
born in Hatton?
Vilhjalmer Steffansson, arctic ex-
plorer, scientist and discoverer of
white Indians, also a North Da-
kotan, would like to know.
In letter received today by Gov
ernor Sorlie Steffansson asked that
North Dakota claim Eielson for its
own and act to dispel the impression
that Eielson was born in Norway.
He called attention to the fact
that Eielson, who was born in Hat
ton, has received more gold medals
and more recognition from learned
European scientists and from Euro
pean royalty than any Atlantic or
Pacific flyer to date.
Governor Sorlie today wired
Jimmy Walker of New York that
North Dakota claims Eielson for it's
own and wants him introduced rs it's
son at the forthcoming banquet in
that city.
Eielson was the first air mail car
rier in Alaska and is the foremost
Of the artic flyers from the United
States.

DAWES APPEARS
2ND CHOICE OF
n. D. DELEGATES
Three Northwest States win
Give Lowden 46, Hoover Z,
on First Few Ballots
BEAT HOOVER BIG HOPE
South Dakotans Also Indicate
Choice for Dawes After
Initial Balloting

st. Paul, June three
votes cast by delegates from Mime
sofa and the Dakotas in the Repub-
lican national convention likely will
be divided 46 for Lowden and seven
for Hoover on the first ballot or
two.
This probable lineup is indicated
by returns today from . question:
naire sent out by the Associated
Press to delegates in these three
states, asking their first and second
choices for the presidential nomi-
nation.
One Hoover vote from South Da-
kota on the first ballot seems as.
sured, with the possibility Of two,
while six Minnesota delegates will
follow the enlargement Of their dis
trict conventions with votes for the
secretary Of commerce.
North Dakota, through action Of
its Republican electorate in the pres
idential primary in March. will cast
its thirteen votes solidly for Low
den, who also will get 81 Minnesota
votes and all but one or two of
South Dakota's 13 on the early roll
calls.
Dawes Name Appears Often
Just where the vote Of these three
states will 60 after the early ballot
ing is problematical, although the
name Of Vice President Dawes ap-
pears most persistently in the "sec-
ond choice" column, almost with un-
animity in South Dakota.
There are q few instances in
which initial Lowden supporters
turn Hooverites on the second choice
designation, or Hoover adherents
name Lowden as second preference,
but generally the Lowden delegates
seem united behind an anything
but Hoover" slogan.
Vice Presidential suggestions in
clude Dawes, Lowden, Theodore
Roosevelt, Fish and Wadsworth Of
New York, Hanford McNider Of
Iowa, and "Wild Bill" Donovan.
Most Of the delegates, however, rive
no selections for the second man on
the ticket.
In South Dakota, only one dele
gate definitely listed Hoover as his
first choice. While the state pro.
posal convention in that state in
dorsed Lowden's candidacy, such
action is not binding on delegates,
according to the best available in
terpretation of the law.
Delegates from the Dakotas and
Minnesota are preparing to leave
for Kansas City tonight and tomor-
row night, with the largest single
group travelling by special train
from st. Paul and Minneapolis Sun
day night. It will include most of
the Minnesota and North Dakota
delegates.

Colonel Charles H. March Of Litch-
field as its chairman and has desig-
mated its members for the several

Missing Italia Signals
Polar Ice Cap Position
Kings Bay Base Ship Hears
SOS, Broadcast Distinctly
for First Time Since May Is
-Desolate Cape Leigh
Smith Believed Resting
Place of Mobile
Copyright. 1928, By The Associ-
ated Press)

0tSO = IC00/
Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, June 9.
-(AP)-The dirigible Italia was
estimated today to be down near
north east land or on the polar ice
cap to the north.
The base ship Citta di Milano has
picked up signals from the airship
which has been missing since May
Is. The men at the base were very
optimistic today that the airship's 3
crew Of II and their Commander
General Umberto Mobile would be
rescued.
The base ship heard the Italia's
signals Yesterday afternoon and
asked the airship number Of ques-
tions. The base ship received no
answers but heard several more sig
mails which Captain Manoya Of the
ship was unable to understand.
Down Near Cape
The messages which the Citta Di
Milano has picked up would indicsN
that the Italia's position was at
60:30 north latitude and 28 east
longitude.
This would place the Italia just
off Cape Leigh Smith in the neigh
borhood Of Flyn Island which is
about 20 miles from the coast of
northeast land.
There was great excitement
aboard the Citta Di Milano today,
groups Of the base crew discussing
the chances Of rescuing their 18
comrades Of the expedition. The
men clustered around the radio cab
in on the deck Of the ship peering
through the windows and trying to
hear the signals.
It is reported at Kings Bay that
it has been established that all
aboard the dirigible Italia are alive.
The region in which the Italia is
believed to have come down off
Northeast Land is an inhospitable
stretch Of ragged ice. Cape Leigh
Smith Is the easternmost point Of
Northeast Land, which is . large
uninhabited island separated from
Spitzbergen proper by the Straits
Of Hinlopen.

Hop Of 1852 Miles from Suva,
Fiji Islands, Completed
in 2l Hours

Brisbane, Australia, June 9.-(R
Home again, q hero in his own
land, Charles Kingsford- Smith, pilot
Of the transoceanic monoplane
Southern Cross, today enjoyed the
tumultuous welcome Of the citizens
Of Brisbane and all Australia.
For he had brought the huge tri-
motored monoplane to q perfect
landing here at 1910 o'clock this
morning, completing the last and
most dangerous leg of his trans
oceanic flight, from Suva, Fiji
Islands, = distance Of 1852 miles.
The flight was made in less than
II hours at IN average speed Of
86-miles an hour.
Showered with gifts, including
$4,000 in gold from the Australian
government for the unprecedented
record breaking flight from Oak
land, Cal, to Brisbane, Captain
Kingsford-S Smith gave credit for
the success Of the 1900 mile aerial
voyage to his three associates, Cap.
tain c. T. Ulm, co-pilot, q fellow
Australian, and two Americans,
Harry Lyon, his navigator, and
James Warner, radio operator.
Enormous crowds were up at
dawn to welcome the flyers to Aus
tralia. Every road leading to the
Eagle Farm landing field was
blocked hours before the Southern
Cross was sighted. Captain Kings
ford Smith brought the plane
through . storm which tested the
ability Of the crew throughout the
night. Land was first struck 1t
Ballina, so miles north Of here. This
was due to the fierce winter storm
which threw the plane slightly off
course. But the navigator recov-
cred bearings and headed south for
the landing field here.
