ANDREE PROBABLY { LIVED IN ARCTIC
Scientist Believes Explorer Sur.
 ViYed Two Years in WildS

Oslo, Norway. Aug. 30 LP-Belief ish balloonist explorer, waited for two years on -caked White Island in the futile hope of rescue before he died. is entertained by Dr. Adolf Hoel head of the Norwegian gov- ernment research office in Spitz- bergen.
 Dr. Hoel, one of the most learned men of the north, thinks that An- dree and his companions may have lived that long on the island where their bodies were found this month, 33 years after their disappearance on an attempt to fly across the north pole in a balloon.
 Had Good Equipment
 q hold it's possible" he said, "thatl Andree and his colleagues might| have been alive for from one to two] years. They were well-equipped} with provisions, guns and ammuni-a ton. So it was possible for themI to kill walrus which were abundant on the island. There were alscI many birds there.
 At the time when Andree startedj in his balloon there was very littlel drifting ice around the island. This{ should exclude the theory that tha1 balloon came down further northd and that Andree and his comrades tramped across the ice to Whitel Island" !
 Arctic dispatches today said thatl a great bank of white fog had de'J scended over the entire area where the sealer Bratvaag, bearing tha bodies of Andree and his two com panions, is supposed 10 be.
 Concern for Vessels
 In addition to the danger Uhicl this may indicate for the scale itself considerable concern was fel that vessels searching for the scale 10 put doctors and scientists aboard her and arrange preservation Of th' bodies before she reaches a warme climate may not find her at all, an' twill have to return to Tromsoe.
 An intermittent broadcast to tn vessel is being made by Norwegia naval vessels in the hope that tn sealer's radio receiving set will pic up a message asking that she pro ceed to a given arctic position Wher she will meet the boats which ar seeking her.

DRY FORCES SEEK
 ILLINOIS CANDIDATE
Anti-Saloon League Browns on
 Stand of Mrs. Mccormick

Chicago, Aug. 30 LP)-The Anti Saloon League of Illinois. finding the prohibition stand of Ruth Hanna Mccormick, republican senatorial nominee, "entirely unsatisfactory" announced last night it was ready to support dry independent candidate.
 George B. Stafford, league superin- tendent, issued a statement in which he said the entire influence of his organization would be eXerted for any worthy candidate" brought out by the dry forces,
 The state Anti-Saloon league worked actively for Mrs, Mccormick when she was campaigning for con- gresswoman and it supported her passively in the primary campaign against Senator Charles S. Deneen.
 The injection of an independent candidate into the race between Mrs. Mccormick and James Hamilton Stafford, altho.gh he mentioned no names,
 Mrs. O'Neill Mentioned
 Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill, of Downes Grove, Illinois first woman legislator, has been prominently mentioned by the Chicago press as the choice of the dry leaders. Mrs. O'Neill, a republican, cam- paigned for Senator Deneen in his losing primary battle with Mrs. Nc Cormick. She admitted yesterday that dry leaders from all over the state had asked her to enter the senatorial campaign.
 i At the state party convention. Mrs. O'Neill espoused a resolution favor | ing restatement of the platform adopted at the Kansas City republi- can national convention.
 Instead the convention pledged the state G. 0. P. 10 abide by the decision Of the voters in the Novem- Der referendum on prohibition re- peal
 Although she reiterated that she still personally was q dry, Mrs. Mc- 1 Cormick also promised 10 vote for repeal Of the 18th amendment if the majority of the voters favored such action.
 1 The Anti Saloon league always ! has been opposed to former Sena- tor Lewis. whose keynote speech at 1 the democratic state convention urg- ed repeal Of all prohibition legisla- | ton
 Accuses Mrs. Mccormick
 Referring to Mrs. Mccormick s l speech before the republican con vention, the Anti-Saloons league 1 head said
 The drys consider that this an- nouncement was made for the pur- pose of winning wet votes and that Mrs. Mccormick is ready 10 abandon 1 her convictions under the pressure Of political eXpediency. This is en- tirely unsatisfactory to us.
 The officers Of the Anti Saloon league feel that their only hope in i securing adequate presentation in support of the prohibition amend ment will be by supporting an inde- l pendent candidate for the United States senate, and the entire inf7u- ence Of the Anti-Saloon league will be exerted in support of any worthy candidate who Is brought out by united action of the dry leaders o. l the state'

Leguia Held in Prison

Lima, Peru, Aug. 30 (UP) - Former president of Peru Augusta B. Leguia was held today in the prison to which he had banished many political exles.
 Leguia and his son, Juan, were re- moved from the warship Admiral Grau to the island of San Lorenzo late Friday afternoon. It was under stood that Leguia would be placed in the Lima penitentiary.
 Lieut. Alfonso Llosa was in con- mand of the heavy guard placed over the ex-president and his son. Llosa served one year of sentence in the island prison, imposed upon him by Leguia, and was released only when the. movement headed by It. Col. Luis Sanchez Cerro overthrow the Leguia regime.
 Leguia will be held for trial, San chez Cerro told the United Press. He did not indicate when the trial woula begin.
 It. Commander Harold Grow, who resigned from the United States navy to become head Of the Peruvian air force under Leguia, must also face court martial Sanchez Cerro said. He alleged that Grow flew to Arequipa with an airplane loaded with bombs.
 Deserves Severe Penalty
 He deserves the most severe pun ishment because he was acting as a mercenary for the traitor Leguia," Sanchez Cerro said.
 Grow was safe and there was no need to worry about his welfare, the foreign office stated
 Another American, Charles W. Sutton, was brought to Lima from Lambayaque and placed in prison. His dentention was not explained. Sutton has been a resident of Peru for many years and developed the most extensive irrigation projects in history of the country.

 It was learned in diplomatic cir cles that representatives of foreign governments were making a careful study of the situation created when Sanchez Cerro's de facto governmen, came into power.
