HOPES REWARD
FOR E|ELSON
By DAVID P. sENTNER

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 Q.N.SD.
The First direct word from
Alaska as to how Carl Ben Eiel-
son, veteran polar pilot. became
lost in a blizzard while on a
rescue mission, was received here
today.
In radio message sent from
Teller, Alaska, at / a. m. today,
Frank Dorbandt, pilot of the
plane which accompanied Lieut..
EielSon and his mechanic, on the
flight, declared that "EieIson
sighted by natives 60 miles off
North Cape"
This was interpreted as mean
ing that Eielson was flying at the
time and that his plane had not
been wrecked in forced landing,
as at first reported.
It was considered probable that
Eielson and his mechanic had
landed and were waiting for the
blizzard to blow over. There was
sufficient food in the plane 10
sustain the two filters and warmth
could be obtained from the
motor, it was said.
EielSon once was missing for
ten days when he left Teller on
another trip to take off further
members Of the ice-bound crew
of the trading schooner Nanuk at
North Cape, Siberia.

MARKET CALLED
PROBABLE

There Is slight chance that a
new market will replace the old
Center Market in the central part
Of the city, according to Engineer
Commissioner william B. Ladue.
The Center Market must close
its doors about the middle of next
year to make room for new build
ingS of the triangle area. The
only possibility that another can
replace it in the same area, La
due said, is for Congress to pass
q special law to create a new Fed
eral market, with sufficient ap-
preparation for the purpose. This
is held to be improbable.
Meanwhile, stall holders at the
old market are making their plans
to move to other markets. Many
will go to the new warehouses of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany on Water Street Southwest,
or the Patterson tract at Florida
Avenue and Fourth Street North
east. Others are still uncertain
what they will do.

ern part of the city and also of a branch
of Klingle Valley, west of Connecticut
avenue, which lies to the rear Of h
house, below Rodman street.
The rear lot for this house falls away
sharply and runs to Rodman street, the
natural slope lending itself to extensive
landscaping, including a series OF ter
races, rubble stone retaining walls and
stepping stones, preliminary work on
which progress has been made during
the past week. This rear lot has been
graded into the terraces and two lines
of retaining walls built. Work has also
started on the laying of a narrow a
way across this terrace, running from
Rodman street to serve two other houses
to the right of the model home.
Shrubs and flowers are to be planted
on the terrace, which will be Sodded.
giving a very unusual treatment to this
rear lot. There are several tall trees
on the lot, which are being included in
the landscaping plan, and there has
been constructed an arch entrance at
the foot of the property, from which
stepping stones and steps will lead up
to the rear of the building.
The interior walls of this large three
story house have been plastered, and
work now will proceed with the trim
ming out of the rooms and other finish
ing operations. The house has the I'M
usual feature of having four Colonial
fireplaces, one in the living room. an
other in the dining room. a third in one
of the large bedrooms, and a fourth in
the den in the living section of the
basement. This model home, built by
w. D. Sterrett, is to be opened to the
public June %.
