7 ACE
IS LAID To
WOMAN

A painstsking examination
of the books of an old and
trusted employee Of the Second
National Bank is expected
soon to result in an order for
the arrest of the suspected
clerk.
Inspector william s. Shelby, chief
of detectives, said today that no
request for aid in clearing UP the
alleged embezzlement of $3.50 had
been made to his department.
Federal Crime
Such a request, he said, would be
referred to the Department of
Justice as embezzlement Is a vio-
latfon of the National Banking
Law. The part his department
would play. Inspector Shelby added,
would be to make the actual arrest.
4 study OF the books of the
employee, woman who recently
resigned, is being made in order to
ascertain the exact amount EN-.
bezzled and in order to allow the
prosecutors to perfect an air-tight
case before the arrest Is ordered.
The system alleged to have been
used Is similar to that employed
by George Willard Bennett, 25.year.
old paying-receiving teller of the
Farmers and Mechanics Branch of
the Riggs National Bank. Bennett
is now awaiting Grand Jury action
on charges of embezzling ap.
proximately 100000 from the bank.
Endless Chain
In both cases, it is alleged, de-
positors' money would be received
and entered in the pass-book but
the money held out. Succeeding de.
posits would be juggled to account
for the early hold-out, thus forming
an endless chain OF entertainments
that in a short time involved huge
sums Of money.

FOR NEW

Soaring toward her home
base at Friedrichshafen, Ger
many, at an unprecedented
rate of speed, the German
dirigible Graf Zeppelin today
appeared likely to lower her
own previous record for aerial
circumnavigation of the globe.
With most of the ocean expanse
left behind, the Zeppelin was ex-
pected nomentarfly to cut across
the coast of France and then speed
overland to her final destination.
bringing to i temporary close the
record breaking series Of continent
linking flights upon which she had
been engaged for the last few
months.
Is Due Tonight
/. Carrying % passengers, the Graf
took off from Lakehurst, N. J., at
7:1S Sunday. II the present rate
of speed of approximately 80 miles
an hour is maintained during the
remainder of the flight, the dirigibie
should arrive at her birthplace on
the shores of Lake Constance to-
night.
If this Is achieved, the Graf will
easily have broken the round-the-
world record of q days, hours
and SO minutes established in the
flight from Lakehurst to Lakehurst.
Captain Ernest Lehman, command.
ing the dirigible in place of DR..
Hugo Eckener, was anxious to cover
the Graf with new glories on his
first flight as commander, and has
high hopes of SCATTERING the earlier
globe-girdling record.
New Mark Seen
II Captain Lehman arrives in
Friedrichshafen within go hours of
the take-off he will achieve this am
bition. Unless exceedingly strong
,headwinds are encountered or some
unforeseen mishap occurs, the great
ship should now have no difficulty
in hanging up new mark for speedy
circumnavigation of the earth.
According to International News
Service dispatches from Paris, the
dirigible was 200 miles north and
slightly west of the Azores at 4 p. m.
yesterday. Upon receipt of this In

Immediately broadcast orders to all
wireless stations and lighthouses on
the coast to maintain a sharp watch
for the craft. 1t was expected that
the Graf would cross the French
coast between Bordeaux and Nantes.
Ran Into Storms
While this position indicated the
zeppelin had conquered more than
2.4OO miles Of ocean expanss in about
81 hours of flying, it also indicat 1
that an unexpected area of storms
WIs encountered near the Azores.
Taking the southerly course after
quitting the American coast, Captain
Lehman was expected to head
straight across the Azores, and resi-.
dents of that group of islands In mid.
Atlantic were thrilled at the posi-.
bility of sighting the dirigible some
time during the day.
The fact that the shin had veered
to the northward indicated that dis.
turbances lay in the direct path of
the snip. and that a detour had been
made necessary.

mainland, however, fair weather

 confer with District Ranger w. M.

 est supervisor of the Chugach Ma
 tional Forest, arrived in Seward
 Saturday from his headquarters at
 Cordova. Definite plans are being
 made to carry out the trail con-
 struct1on program and complete fire protection plans for this sec-
 ton of the Chugach forest. The Bureau of Public Roads. Supervisor Mcdonald reports, will reconstruct the Seward Radio sta- tlon road and extend the present GirdWood road two miles which will be of considerable assistance to the various mining operators now operating on the upper limits of Crow creek. They will also build three and one-half miles of road on Afog1lak Island leading from the head of Letnik bay to the Federal hatchery which is located on the shores of Afognak lake.
 While American Forest Week has been discontinued, he said, there will be no let-up on the part of the Forest Service to keep for est fires down to minimum.
 By the end of June tie cutters, operating between Seward and An chorage, will have cut 10000 rail- road ties which means the distri- button of approximately $70,000 in this vicinity. There is still con- siderable merchantable timber ad- jacent to the Alaska railroad and 1t is hoped that with the coopera- tion of the public, coupled with an adequate patrol system, will be kept in he titmber, to keep it free of fires.
