EIELSON AND
WILKINS SAFE
Radio Message Dispels Fear
That They Might Have
Crashed in Landing

Seward, Alaska, March 21.-(APl
Fears that Captain George II,
Wilkins, jarctice explorer, and his
sourdough pilot, Lieut.. Carl Ben
Eielson, might have crashed in COM
pletinr their 500 mile flight from
Fairbanks to Point Barrow were dis
pelled late last night wher- radio
communication was reestablished
with the explorer.
News of the safety of the polar
explorers was received by Captain
Robert B. Woolverton Of the army
signal corps here: The radio mes.
sage, sent by wilkins at his base Of
operations, said, "All okeh." He
repeated the message several times
and then added, "Clear and cold"
At this point an amateur station be-
gan interfering with Woolverton and
the rest of wilkins message was
lost.
Long Silence Disquieting
The previous silence of the ex-
plorer's radio set caused anxiety
here. The final message transmit
ted by him on his flight Monday
from Fairbanks to Point Barrow
was ''Going to land" Then the
radio stopped short.
When efforts to get in .ouch with
Wilkins failed yesterday it was con-
sidered possible that his plane, which
was equipped with skis for landing
on the ice, might have been smashed
in the process. The plane was
known to have passed through q
storm on its trip, wilkins having
kept the signal corps station here
advised of his progress.
With the crew and plane safe at
their center Of operations, prepara-
lions will 60 ahead for . series Of

"ini hurt" Larson said he went into the kitchen, saw Jacobi lying on the floor bleeding. He held his head for a minute. Larson then ran to the store where he saw Wall lying on a cot. While in the kitchen he noticed a knife lying close to tho back door, and a eleaver on g crate of potatoes about three feet from Jaeobi's feet. The knife had blood on it and the cleaver was spsttered with blood, he testified.
 Larson testified in respect to the fight, to which there were 10 eye witnesses, that he had con versation with Wall, in the eom- pany store. after he left the kit chen. Wall, according to Larson s testimony, was lying on cot, and asked Larson if MT. Kingston was there. Larson said not now" Then Wall said, tell him Pete came after me with an axe.' Lar son asked, "What did you use? A knife?" And Wall nodded his head.
 Wall Hires Jacobi
 It was upon Walls request that Jacobi had been hired as cook 5 helper, MT. Kingston said. When told that he was to pick his own helper, Wall brought Jacobi into the cannery office in Seattle and said he would like to have him as he knew him. However, last Err day they had a misunderstanding MT. Kingston declared, and both men told him that one or the oth- CT would have to leave. The quar- rel was apparently patched up, however, when MT Kingston told them that they could not leave un- til the boat on Thursday, May 10, and they agreed to work together until then.
 Hearing Tonight
 A preliminary hearing will be held tonight at St. Anns hospital, where Wall is in a critical condi- ton due to a wound in his left side which penetrates the left lung, according to Judge r. A. Boyle of the U. s. Commissioners Court. The present charge against Wall is that of assault with intent to kill which was made when the

rains have put soil in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley and Cor,us
Christi Robstown districts in un-
usually good condition for planting
vegetables, practically all Of which
will show acreage increa.e. a report
issued by Charles Sperle, truck crop
specialist Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, shows.
Increase in the acreage Of all
vegetables except beans, peppers and
eggplant will result from the good
condition Of the soil, Sperle says.
"A preliminary survey indicates
that the acreage to be planted in
cabbage in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley will equal that of last sea
son and probably exceed it," Sperle
declares in a special report on cab
bage. Moisture condition Is above
the average. The acreage in 1923
was estimated around 10000, COM
pared with $4,000 in 1927. In the
Corpus Christi Robstown district
reports indicate the acreage 70 be
planted will be about the same rs
last season. when e07 cars were
shipped. The Lower Valley shipped
5,725 cars last season.
"The condition OF cabbage plants
in the seedbeds is above the ave
age due to the splendid moisture
condition." Sperle continues. "al-
though some points in the Valley
will have less early cabbage than
last season due TO the growers hold
ing their cotton for a second crop.
"This season the fall crop Of po-
tatoes will be double that Of last
season. which was estimated ut SOC
cars" Sperle said. estimating that
this season probably 1900 TO 1,70C
acres will be planted.
"A large carry-over from the 1925
spring crop is responsible for the
heavy increase and. while ere i:
sufficient seed available TO plant q
much larger acreage. the quality Of
the seed is not generally reported
, as good. which will tend 20 keer

acreage had been planted, br' plant.
