WOMAN AND 2! MEN
 CAUGHT IN |CE, COAST

Marooned in the Arctic ice pack near Wainwright with crew of 21 hardy seafaring men and a lone woman aboard, the MS Pat terson of the Northern Whaling & Trading Company may not be able to reach Herschell Island where a million dollars worth of furS await her.
 The woman aboard the little Arctic trader is Mrs. c. T. Peder- sen, wife of the master of the vessel, who accompanies him on all his voyages She is a trained nurse and gives medical aid to the crew and natives who come to trade with the ship.
 They Have Company
 The Patterson has plenty of company in the ice, for not far distant are the sailing schooner 0. s. Holmes and the Coast Guard cutter Northland from Seattle and the Canadian steamship Bay chino from Vancouver, B. c.
 Bound for Herschell Island, far to the eastward in the Arctic, the Patterson sailed from San Fran cisco May 28. The vessel formerly was a unit of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, plying out of Seattle. She was sold to the Northern Whaling & Trading Company by the Food Dry Docks, Inc, and delivery was made in Seattle
 Veteran of Arctic
 Captain Pederson has been mak- ing trips to the Arctic since 1894. He came to this coast as a young man from Norway on whaling steamship and immediately head ed for the Far North. In 1897 he was frozen in for the entire winter. He was master of the whaling steamship Karluk when she sailed from San Francisco in 1913 with an expedition headed by Hilhjalmar StefanSSon and fitted out by the Canadian government for exploration in the Arctic re. gions.
 One of Captain Pederson's most prized keepsakes is a watch crust ed on the back with gold mug gets given him by Explorer Roald Amundsen in the Arctic in July 1927
 The Patterson left San Francisco with 16.O00 gallons of gasoline and a supply of eggs, flour, fresh apples and oranges, potatoes. su- gar and dry goods, with which to barter with the natives for white and crossed fox, silver fox. lynx, marten and muskrat pelts.

Defense Asks MistriaI Be
Declared, but Is 0verruIed
by Justice Gordon.
COLLINS DENIES OWENS
WAS GIVEN IMMUNITY
Attorney Hints Charge Was Nolle
Pressed in Exchange for
Evidence.

A bitter argument between opposing
counsel, eliminating in an unsuccessful
demand for a mistrial, marked today's
session of the trial of Garry Robert
Owens, charged with Staying James II.
Lane, operator of one-man street
car.
The courtroom was plunged into con-
fusion when the lie was passed. The
argument reached its height while
James A. OShea, chief of defense coun-
sci, was cross-eXamining Charles
Owens, 2l-year-old nephew OF the de-
PENDANT. and chief witness for the Gov
eminent. O'Shea asked the youth II
it were not true that a murder charge
against him in the same case had been
nolle pressed in exchange for his testi-
mony.
Still Charged, He Says.
William H. Collins, the prosecutor.
Immediately jumped up and shouted:
That's an absolute lie, and you know
it isl"
The charge has been nolled," O'Shea
only two counts have been nolled
and the record will show he Is still
charged" Collins replied.
AS the spectators craned their necks.
O'Shea then turned to Justice Peyton
Gordon and said:
For highly unprofessional conduct
of the district attorney l ask that a
Juror be withdrawn and mistrial be
declared"
Justice Gordon overruled the motion
without comment.
Collins then obtained permission to
read the record, which showed two
counts in the original indictment
charging the uncle and nephew Jointly
had been nolle pressed.
Charles Owens took the witness stand
soon after the trial opened yesterday in
District Supreme Court. He testified on
direct examination that he was stand
ing nearby when his uncle jumped from
street car on Nichols avenue south
east, March Is last, and said he had
shot man. O'Shea failed in an effort
to draw from young Owens a conflrma-
ton of his contention that the youth
was II miles away in Maryland at the
time of the shooting.
The witness denied he had told an
other uncle, Gilbert Owens, and his
father that ne was in Maryland when
Lane was fired on. The defense at
torney also sought to make capital Of
the witness inability to remember
whether his uncle was wearing a hat
or cap the night Lane was fatally
wounded.

Diet Heals Decayed Tooth
Elimination Of Cavities Foreseen in Report of Nutri
fional Expert Read Before Clinic Club-Dozen Cases
Reported Cured Through Control of Eating

A day when the misery and suffering
traceabls to tooth decay will have been
entirely eliminated was foreSeen last
night. when, for the first time in medi-
cal history, decayed tooth was re-
ported to have healed itself after the
patient had been placed on a special
diet
The report was delivered before a
gathering Of distinguished physicians
and dentists at dinner in the May
flower Hotel, given by the Capitol Clinic
Club In honor OF DR.. Sherman L. Davis,
who is credited with recent nutritional
discoveries which may revolutionize the
science of dentistry.
Used on Washington Man.
The self-restoration Of the tooth-the
cavity filling itself without mechanical
assistance-was brought about in the
case of a Washington man, whose den
list had placed him on a special diet
worked out by DR.. Davis.
At least a dozen similar cases have
been reported by dentists in various
parts of the country.
1t was clearly demonstrated, through
many carefully checked cases, that tooth
decay virtually always can be prevented.
ana that in great many cases it can
be arrested.
Likened to Pasteur.
DR.. c. c. Robinson. chief surgeon of
the youngstown and Inland Steel Cor
porations, hailed DR.. Davis work as
"Cne that bids fair to rank with, if not
equal, that of Louis PaSteur"
DR.. M. A. English, a Washington phv-
sician said he was so impressed from
a medical standpoint with the remark
able results secured by DR. Davis that
he would insist on every new case of his
taking the examination TO determine
whether there is need for the nu,ritiOnal
treatment"
The case Of the self-restored tooth
was reported by the secretary of the
Clinic Club. The patient, he said. a
man 48 years old. appeared for examin-
alton with l8 cavities on February /,
1880. Six were new cavaties and the
others had appeared around good fill
ings.
Cavity Left Open.
The other teeth were treated and a
cervical erosion cavity in the lower
right first bicuSpid was left open for
observation purposes.
On october 4, 1880, it was said, the
cavity purposely left open was becoming
smaller in area and depth. On June 2,
1881, when the patient was last seen.
the cavity had become entirely recalci-
fed, or filled up.
DR.. Davis reported on CTS cases over
which he has maintained personal
supervision. They were carefully
checked for a period of six months,
