Master of Laurel Remains Aboard Half of Boat
 Crew Is Rescued

 I ASTORIA, Ore, June 18.-De- termined to salvage half of his ship if possible, Louis Johnson, captain of the ill-fated steamer Laurel, still remained aboard the wreck playing a game of freeze -out against the pounding seas, after spurning pleas of Coast Guardsmen to come ashore.
 Wedged on Peacock Spit, at the mouth of the Columbia River, the larger portion of the lumber carrier Laurel is held only by the gritty captain after 30 members of the crew had been taken off in groups by the live saving men of the Coast Guard.
 The life savers tried to take Capt. Johnson off yesterday but he refused. Portland agents of the States Line sent word to the cap- tain to leave the ship but a rough sea prevented the Coast Guard cutter from relaying the message.

 FOR SIXTY DAYS
Steamboat Inspectors Sus- pend License of Cap-
 tain of Aleutian

SEATTLE, June 18.-U nit e d States Steamboat Inspectors Donald Ames and Thomas Short, have sus- pended for 60 days the license of Capt. J. G. Nord, of the steamer Aleutian which sunk May 29 near Kodiak Island.
 The Inspectors said the rock the ship hit was marked on the latest charts.
 Efforts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to find the Aleutian were unsuccessful according to advices learned here.
 The investigation showed the rock was shattered by the impact of the metal ships hull. Copper ore cargo was found on the rock, which at extremely low tide is awash and covered with 37 feet at half tide.
 The investigators found that the Aleutian was out of the course at the time of the wreck.
 The accident is the first Capt Nord has been responsible for dur ing his 30 years service as master and mariner in Alaska waters.

One of the thousands of young men who responded to the coun- try's call for service in the war with Mexico, William Fitzhugh Buckner, survived that information al struggle by more than 80 years.
 In January, 1928, he rounded out a century of life. A few months later a perusal of the records of the Pension Bureau at Washington disclosed that the fingers of one hand were too numerous to count the living veterans of the Mexican war.
 At that time, besides MT. Buck ner, there were only two others, Richard Albert Howard, of Sterling City, Texas, and Owen Thomas Edgar of Washington, each three years his junior.
 MT. Buckner had picturesque and somewhat adventurous career and at 100, although white-bearded, the years had failed to change his erect stature developed by his mili- tary training as a youth.
 Born in Caroline County, Virgin ia, January 27. 1928, MT. Buckner had taken up his residence in the Central West when young man. He was only about IS years old when the war with Mexico began, and enlisted in Company A, First Missouri mounted volunteers, under Colonel Alexander William Doni- phan.
 As member of the expeditionary force that marched to Mexico from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, MT. Buckner and his regiment partici- pated in several important engage ments, including the battle of Taos, N. M.
 After the war MT Buckner re- turned to Missouri and the next year joined the Forty-Niners in the rush to California for gold. He counted as one of the epic mile- stones of his life his task of driving

ENTERTAINMENT
 BEN C PLANNED
 FOR YACHTSMEN
Y a cht Club Committee Formulates Program for
 Visiting Sportsmen

At a meeting of the general com mittee of the Juneau Yacht Club held last evening, final arrange ments were made for the entertain ment of the visiting yachtsmen and their ladies.
 According to the present schedule the yachts should arrive about noon on Friday and will be met by the Reception Committee and officers of the Yacht Club. No general entertainment has b n planned for the balance of Fri day afternoon in order that the yachtsmen may have time to clean ship and rest up. At 6:30 pm. a baseball game will take place at the ball park between a team from the Coast Guard cutter Snohomish and a local picked team. Capt. Birkett, commander of the Sno- homish, has written the Yacht of ficials that his ship has a bunch of fast players and good game is anticipated.
 Saturday morning the visitors will be taken on sightseeing trips about the city, which will include the Alaska Juneau mill, Territorial museum, Scottish Rite Temple, bus mess houses, and other points of interest. At 1:30 pm. Saturday a trip to Mendenhall Glacier will be given the visitors. Cars will leave from the Pacific Coast Steam ship dock.
 At 6:30 p.m Saturday the visi- tors and as many of the towns people as can be accommodated, will be rendered a banquet in the Scottish Rite Temple by the Ju- neau Shrine Club. Owing to the impossibility of serving a large banquet in any of the restaurants the Juneau Shrine Club very kind ly offered to be host to the visi- tors at the Temple. Although ac- commodations are also somewhat limited at the Temple, they will make an attempt to accommodate as many of the local people as pos- sible in addition to the visitors.
 Following the banquet the Ju- neau Yacht Club will tender the visitors complimentary dance at the Elks Hall, to which the public is invited. During an intermis- sion in the dance program the win ners in the Capital-to- Capital racs will be announced and the prizes awarded
 On Sunday the visitors and local yachts will make a cruise to Taku Glacier, conveyed by the official boat of the local club. Start will be made at 9:30 am. from the Femmer and Government docks This Taku Glacier cruise last year was the big event for the visiting yachtsmen and several local boats are planning to make the trip in company with the visitors.
 This cruise will conclude the off, ficial entertainment program by the local Yacht Club and it is believed a number of the yachts will start returning south on Monday, as it is known some are to participate in races and cruises in British Columbia and Puget Sound, around the first of July.
