BULLETIN - MOSCOW, May 18.-"Big Bill" Hay wood, one of the founders of the Industrial Workers of the World. died late today after lengthy illness.

CHICAGO, May 1S-The Big Bilr' Haywood who lies seriously ill in Russian hospital must be man much changed from the Big Bill'' Chicago remembers, his friends here say.
 The former chief of the Indus trial Workers of the World is pic. tured in stories that falter back here from his adopted land as a man who looks upon life and events philosophically and with calm retrosp.ction in middle age.
 The labor marts of Chicago re- member Big Bill" as man whose spreading shoulders crash ed for years through the battle lines of labor fights the continent over. Yet he was not, say men who knew him here. the hard boiled swashbuckler that popular fancy pictured him. Many of his former associates here say Hay wood jumped his bail, after ar rest in 1918 for violation of the draft and espionage laws, because he feared he would never get to see soviet Russia unless he de camped. He cost his organization some $20,000 in forfeiture.
 He had diabetes then-the same ailment from which he is suffer ing now in Russia-and he thought that if convicted he would die in prison.
 Dr. Ben l.. Reitman, friend of the hoboes, says Haywood was started on his radical career by seeing the execution of four an archists for the murder of police men in Chicago's Haymarket Square.
 q wasn't fond of many of Big Bills ideas," Reitman says, but he had an influence on Ameri. can life. He made unskilled workers believe they were some body, gave them souls." Haywood , usually looked like tramp, Dul friends say he purposely held to the makeup. He is described as having been devoted to his first wife, now dead, and to their daughter, now a school teacher. He married again in Russia according to news that drifted hack, taking as his wife a woman of the country. And his comrades ] in the labor camps where he rois tered more than a decade age might have laughed had anyone prophesied that some day Big Bill" would live in one-roon Russian home smoking and think ing as his Russian wife cooked red cabbage.

CAPTAIN HECK
 TELLS CHAMBER OF LOCAL WORK
Division Chief of Coast and Geodetic Survey Out
 lines Alaska Work

A modern selsmograph record ing instrument will be installed in the Sitka station of the U. s. Coast and Geodetic Survey and a cooperative station probably will be established at Fairbanks in the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, it was made known today by Capt. N. H. Heck. in charge of the Alaska work of the bureau. He Is now in the Territory on a trip of inspection and investigation and was sues. of the Chamber of Commerce to- day.
 Capt. Heck was in command of }the Explorer in Southeastern Al aska waters during the seasons of 1921 and 1922. He is known as the father" of the present 1, system of wire drag surveying used by the bureaus boats in these waters.
 Closeup of Work
 A closeup view of the work carried on in Alaska was given by Capt. Heck in a brief and highly interesting talk to the Chamber. It includes triangula- tion surveys, linking up Alaska with the continental net through | Canada down to Seattle; wire dragging of waters to safeguard navigation; the maintenance of
 magnetic and seismograph sta tiOns.
 It was in 1922 that Capt. Heck was able to adapt mine sweeping methods, as developed in anti submarine activities during the World war, to the survey of local waters. On the second day of the season, a 12,0O0-foot drag be- ing used by the Explorer disap- peared beneath the surface. It looked like a serious disaster as no other drag was available and none could be obtained for con- siderable period. Having in mind devices used in mine sweeping, he tried out the system on the Explorer and it proved to be emi-
 nently successful. In a single day in Lynn Canal an area of 46 miles was covered.
 This, with the improvement Of vessels used in work in these waters has accelerated the sur vey, Capt. Heck said. It is now considerably ahead of it's schedule and far advanced from five or ten years ago. AS result. he added, the bureau is in position to pick out urgent needs in vari- ous localities. He will inyesti- gate Southeastern Alaska and
 Prince William Sound waters to determine such needs and make
 provision for doing the work. Wire Drag Important
 The main work of the bureau,
 which has always in mind safe
 guarding commerce and naviga-
 
 tion, so far as Alaska is concern ed, is it's wire drag surveys. Or
 dinarily, he pointed out, only a few main harbors are used by the larger steamships. But in
 Alaska this is not the case. Here all of the steamers put into out of the way ports where canneries or other plants are established and the need for accurate chart ling of even the smaller bays is lgreat.
 Lacking them, many rocks have been discovered by steamers by the simple but often times dis astrous method of hitting them
 with consequent damage or loss of both vessel and cargo and sometimes of life. It is much
 safer, more economic and more
 satisfactory all around, he de- clared, for the discovery to be made by the wire drag boats.

indisposition and restore her to the
excellent health she enjoyed prior
to her illness.
The President was in the best of
humor when he boarded the train.
He was bothered only slightly by
the abrasion on his right foot that
has caused him to limp noticeably
since early yesterday.
Shortly before the dinner hour
last night, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover called at the White House
to bid good-by to his chief and to
the First Lady.
According to scheduled arrange
ments, the official party will ar
