For 20 years Walker was president
OF the United Mine Workers Of IL

the forming Of rival labor organiza-
ton.
while Mr.. Walker accepted the
money because he could not refuse q

But the frail mother Of the miners"

any, friends said, miners all over the
country would come to her aid.

ing in this years much more ambitious
venture.
I'VE used quite an old plane" the
sun-bronzed skipper" of the flight ex-
planned. 1T was Dornier Wal which
had been used previously by Amundsen
in his Arctic explorations and by Capt.
Frank Courtney in an unsuccessful at
tempt to cross the Atlantic"
In this plane the German aviation
schoolmaster and his three pupils took
of from the most northerly Of the
German islands, List on Sylt, on August
10. They fought their way through
torrential rains and fogs during large
part Of the flight. They new through
storms over the most dangerous portion
of their course, over waste ice and sea
off the ship lanes. where failure would
have meant death.
Two Routes Proposed.
There are two courses. either Of
which might be chosen for trans
oceanic commercial line" Capt. Won
Gronau said. lone Is that we followed,
skirting the southern coast Of Green
land. On this course only one Green
land base would be required. The
other course, which might be preferable,
bases on both coasts"
1t would be entirely practicable to
use seaplanes for operations across
Greenland, Capt. Won Gronau said. In
event of motor trouble they could land
with entire safety on the Greenland
ice cap. Landings and. take-offs can
be made easily from the Ice sheet, which
covers virtually all of Greenland, he
said. 1t would be possible for a sea-
plane to taxi for miles across the ice
cap without damage, he explained.
Capt. Won Gronau and his co-pilot
will leave Washington by train tonight
for Newark, N. j. After church services
somewhere in New Jersey on Sunday
they are to continue to Atlantic City.
On Monday they will be the guests of
Anthony H. G.. Fokker, famous Dutch
airplane designer and builder, at his
home, in New York. They are to sail
for Germany Monday, aboard the
steamer S. S. Hamburg. Their plane
probably will be dismantled and loaded
aboard the Hamburg for transportation
back to Germany, Capt. Won Gronau
said.

NOTES OF ANDREE LOG FOUND
TO BE PARTIALLY HLEGIBLE
DiScoverer of BaIIoonist'S Re-
mains Proposes New Re-
search at Arctic Camp.
Sudden Disaster Is Blamed
for Fatal Descent SO
Years Ago.

BY the Associated Press.
TROMSOE, Norway, September S.
The story of the Andree balloon ex-
petition Is legible in the explorers notes
up to September 5. It is said there is
writing in Andrees log after that date,
but it is illegible.
The condition cf the diary after Sep
TENDER is such that 1t may be impossi-
BILE to follow the story Of the fate of the
expedition as told by It's leader himself
beyond that date.
It would seem that the trio arrived on
White Island on the fifth of September
presumably 1870, after having battled
their way across the ice since mid
July, when their balloon met disaster
on the attempted flight TO the North
Pole.
Proposes New Expedition.
DR.. Gunnar Horn today proposed that
Swedish expedition be sent to White
Island next Summer to look for further
evidences of the Andree expedition.
The commission which has been ex-
aiming the effects of the Andree ex-
petition found on White Island re-
ported that no traces of Knut Frankel
had been recovered.
Nils Strindberg was identified by an
engagement ring found on his body.
His body was wrapped in q swedish
flag and sent back to his native land
yesterday, the anniversary of his birth.
Among the articles found, which
number 400, are an thermometer, two
chrohometers made by q London Arm,
q case of mathematical instruments, a
tape measure, cooking utensils, basket
Of sewing materials small hooks. wire,
thread and clothing. Most Of the OBJ
jects were found in canvas boat.
DR.. Horn said it Is possible that
Frankel's body might be found there,
buried in the ice. Many Of the things
which the Horn party found were dug
up from q depth of 10 inches or more.
1t is considered possible that Frankels
body lies further down.
It appeared today from inveStiga-
ton of the expedition that something
happened very suddenly and unex-
pectedly to bring down the balloon on
the ice when 1t was less than 500 miles
from the North Pole 80 years ago.
While the diaries of Solomon August
Andree, chief OF the expedition, still
remain secret, it is known unofficially
that one Of them contains the informa-
