CREW OF VESSEL
FINDING ANDREE
WANTS REWARD
By FREDERICK LAUDON
United Press Staff Correspondent

TROMSGE, Norway, Sept. >. U.P)
Swedish and Norwegian officials
who had been busy preparing for
the homage the two nations are to
pay to Salomon Augustc Andree
and his two companions lost in an
attempt to fly TO the North Pole
in balloon in 1897, today turned
their attention. to a claim of the
crew of the sealert Brattvaag for
compensation for finding the bodies
'of Andree and one of his compan-
ions and the relics of their Arctic
camp.
The Brattvaag crew claimed 10
per cent of the value of the diScOv-
cries declaring that members OF the
crew, and not the Norwegian scien-
fist DR.. Gunnar Horn. had found the
remains of the AIdrec expedition
on White Island.
The remains of the Andrec camp
and the bodies of Andrce and Nils
- ih'''i ?, NNlC III lO .Nbi w Il '
on the Brattvaag. Dr. Horn headed
Norwegian scientific expedition
aboard the vessel and carried on
his work as conveniently as possible
as the scalcr cruscd through the
Arctic sea.
The value of the discovery of the
remains of the Andrec party is con-
Sidered problematical by experts,
although it was admitted that their
cash value might be great if efforts
were made to commentaries them.
DR., Horn intimatcd that he would
favor devoting any funds derived
from the sale of Andrec's records to
furthcring exploration in the Are
tie, particularly in the region of
Franz Joseph land.
The entire matter rested in an un-
certain light today, as Andree'S cX-
pcdition was Swedish and the mYS-
terry of its fate was solved by Nor
wegians. Relatives of Andree have
expressed the desire to turn all the
discoveries over to the Swedish COY.

Existence of the British Empire
is proof that nations Of the world

This was the argument put
forward in behalf Of disarmar
ment by the Prince Of Wales
at q dinner Of the League Of
Nations Union in the ancient
GuildhaIl here. The speech was
broadcast to the United States.
The prince said:
Canada has set the world
an example. The Canadian
border, facing the United
States, is devoid Of armed
forces. II one quarter Of the
Empire can be without an
armed border there is hope for
the remaining three quarters"
Citing the brotherhood" Of
the British Empire, the prince
continued:
eff one quarter Of the hu-
man race can prove the prac-
ticabiIity Of . true league OF
united but independent nations,
Is it mere idealisrn TO hope
that the remaining three

apartment house, Dale saw some
thing which further confirmed
his suspicious. 1t was g service

building.
The driveway dipped down,

work for fingerprints, making
q record of whatever he might
find for later comparison with
those Of such suspects as were
brought In.
DR.. Wattles pronounced the
man to be dead 10 or IL hours.
It was then three in the after.
noon, which set the actual hour
of the crime between three and
five that morning. Captain
Blake left Phelps in charge
with instructions that the body
be transferred to the morgue,
there to await further develop
mentS.
He then left with Sergeant
Jardin to call at the laundry
garage and the four addresses
Cochrane had given. Robin
Dale, Of course, went along
with Blake.
The garage was close at hand
and after half an hours ques.
tioning it was fairly evident
that the body could not have
been brought into the garage
and placed in the basket at
that point. A night crew, was
on duty OF all times adjusting
and repairing the trucks. so
that at no time were there
less than half g dozen men on
duty.

impossibility. All the workmen,
too, were accounted for, al.

clothes of the murdered man
that he was anything but a

While not strictly a first-clasS

which made 1t difficult for

Captain Blake spent two
hours at the Claire and finally
