The patrolman sent the editor to

Patrolman Walker declared he

clared Webster ewas intoxicated.

Walker said he replied he was
mot taking any $100."
Then the editor, according 10
Walker, said, well, I'll make 1t
$780," "
The officer said in reply: I'm
not taking any 5000"
Denies He Was Drunk
In city prison this morning Web
ster denied he was drunk.
Il had just one little drink out
on College Ave. at the home Of a
friend of mine-a political worker"
said Webster.
Webster denied offering Walker a
oribe. He said he did tell the Of

publicity.

Rumors from all over the
northern world have been circu-
lated that the Italia has landed
The latest was that it landed in
Alaska. Previous ones said ii
had landed at some unknown
destination.
One by one, most of these mes
sages have been proved untrue
They largely were messages from
one station to another regarding the
Italia. and were misinterpreted by
intercepting stations.
Many Join in Search
The orders flashed out over the
radio network in the northern
world had to do with the greatest
rescue expedition in history.
From eastern Siberia across Asia
and still westward to Alaska, indi-
viduals were searching for the Italia
or ready to help.
The Italias base ship, Citta d
Milano, that left Kings Bay Sun
day on the first rescue expedition
was anchored at Danes Island, Oh
the northwest coast of Spitzbergen
ready to start a search OF the nelgh-
borhood, and was flashing out al
frequent intervals a message to the
Italia that help was coming.
Lieut.. Luetzow Holm of the Nor
wegian navy took off with a me-
chanic from Horten, the seaplane
base to fly to Tromsoe, where the
sturdy little ice-breaking steamer
Hobby was waiting fer him--with
dog sledges also aboard-to start
for the northeastern area OF Spltz-
bergen.

coast. for a sign of the Italia.

Battles With Storm
The sole real hope among Polar
experts Of rescuing the Italia's crew
of sixteen lies with the most mod

Airplanes, wooden ships such as the
Norsemen use, and wooden sledges

neither the Citta Di Milano, nor
any steel vessel can hope to ram

Good Weather for May 80,

The odds are that it will be fair

Present indications are that
Wednesday will be mostly fair, but
there is a likelihood of some un-

That means, he said, that there
may be some local showers, but the
showers may not fall over the
Speedway.
The temperature will be moderate,
ranging about 10 degrees higher
than TODAY.
