Peril of Jamming Ice Is
Cause of Return to
Kings Bay.
LAND SEARCH PARTIES
Two DetaChmentS of Alpine
ChaSSeurS to Hunt for
DirigibIe Crew.
BY LARS HANSEN
frnifnd Press stan Correxnoudent

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May
30.-Beaten back by storms and ice
from her rescue expedition, the
Citta Di Milano, supply ship of the
lost polar dirigible Italia, arrived
here at a. m. today from Amster-
dam Island.
Before her departure from AM
sterdam Island-at the urgent de-
mand of her Norwegian pilot, who
said fatty that the jamming ice
would smash her steel sides-the
Citta Di Milano landed two detach-
ments of Italian Alpine chasseurs
on the bleak, ice-bound Spitzbergen
coast, to search for the Italia.
One detachment will go along the
coast, while the other will pene-
trate the interior, seeking some
trace of the craft that carried Gen.
Umberto Mobile and his fifteen fol-
lowers over the North Pole last week.
Four Start on Foot
Another rescue expedition pro
ceeded on foot today when four
trappers left Kings Bay, going
northeast across the interior OF
Spitzbergen.
They hoped to arrive at Hinlopen
Straits, those separating the main
ilsand of Spitzbergen from north
east land, and be able to cross or
the ice.
In that event they would be able
to explore the interior Of northeast
land where it was considered posi-
BILE that Mobile might have been
forced down.
Meanwhile, the encourage that
Mobile brought here from Italy, and
which remained behind when the
italian explorer headed for the
pole, was flantic as the hours
skipped by without word Of the
craft and its men.
Fail to Hear Signals
Rescue attempts were disheart-
ening. Capricious Arctic weather
the same that may have caused
damage to the Italia that forced
it down-delayed rescue expeditions.
High winds, lowering temperatures,
fog and ice blocked waterways, pre-
vented many of the expeditions
from getting underway.
1t is possible that only the at
tempts of rescue by dog teams may
be successful, for ships have been
unable to chug far North through
the ice, and the weather today in
dicated that flying would not be
safe.

TO END LIVES
Man and Woman Are in

A man and a woman we're in
critical condition at city hospital

Harry r. McCallister, 80, was
found at his confectionery store,
112 E. Twenty Fifth ST., today with
bullet wound in his head and the
room filed with gas.

away? Forgive me for what I am
doing. Call my sister at 371 Ter

| few minutes after the showers.
The sun came out at $3.50 (C.ST)
and the cheers and shouts were re-
newed.
Camera men and movie news ree4
operators scurried for positions. The
officials began bringing out the flags
and other equipment.
Thousands of spectators who had
waited in their machines during the
rain streamed to the grandstand
seats. The B grandstand at the
south turn was mostly filled A
stand was about one-third filled and
the others only sparsely so at this
hour.
The race officials gathered at the
track at daylight with anxious eyes
on the weather. Eddie Edenburn,
official representatives of the A. A.
A.. in charge of the race, stuck
grimly to his determination not to
let the weather jinx get him down.
He declared early in the morning
that if it kept on raining he would
wait until the very last minute be-
fore delaying the race to a later
hour today or postponing it until
tomorrow.
While the crowd was later than
usual in gathering, practically all
good infield parking spaces were
gone by 8 a. m &C. S. T) About
$4,000 persons in automobiles we're
in the infield, it was estimated.
When the sun peeped from behind
a cloud at a. m. &C. S. T0 the
crowd cheeered. Many bets on
whether rain would stop the race
were made.
Pit managers we're among the
most harassed persons at the Speed
way. They had to have their sup
plies in place before the race start
ed. but they didn't dare let them get
wet.
Finally they sent to town for tar
paulins and. several hours later
than usual, moved their tires, gaso-
line, spart parts. charts and sig
Mailing equipment to the concrete
Enclosures and covered them.
The neWSpapermen and their
equipment suffered from exposure
in the open press stand. The rain
drove in on their score books, copy
paper, telephones and telegraph in
struments. A small army of repair
men was on hand to see that short
circuits and other troubles caused by
the rain were eliminated.
1t Showered again a few minutes
after 8 central standard time). The
women resumed their slickers and
fled to cover The muddy infield
spoiled many pairs of light shoes
as the fair ones waded from parked
cars to the grandstands.
The Speedway officials did every
thing they could to relieve the be-
draggled thousands, but the Speed
way wasn't built for an aquatic
meet.
Maj. George S. Greene, Speedway
director of safety, was unable to di-
rect the activities of the race track
guards today. because Of illness.
Lieut.. c. H. Tenant was in charge.
