SEAL HERD |s MIGRATING TO THE
 ALASKAN COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 5. - Leaders of at least one million fu1 seals valued at more than $35,- 100000 have been sighted off the California coast on the annual migration to Alaska.
 The Coast Guard is planning to escort the seals north from the mouth of the Columbia River about March 15 and following them to the Pribilofs. There the seals will be guarded by the Bur- eau of Fisheries.
 The seal herd has quadrupled since the 1911 treaty which pro- hibited the killing of them on the high seas except by Indians with primitive weapons.
 The United States has been granted control of the seals by Great Britain, Japan and Russia because the breeding grounds are part of Alaska.

AVIATORS PLAN
TAKE-OEF SOON
FOR CONTINENT
Will Begin Flight To
Nome AS Soon AS
Weather Permits.

TOXIC. Sept. 18. UP)-Undaunt-
ed by storms that ended their trans
Pacific flight on a lonely islet off
Siberia, the American aviators, Don

by radio today that they intended
to take off from Navarin island for
Nome, possibly today.
Moyle sent message from the
Russian steamer Buriat today to
the Asahi newspapers here stating
that the flight will be continued as
soon as weather permits.
The report, telling or their fight

circle" route they had planned to
follow.

storms for 35 hours after leaving
Sabishiro beach, 275 miles from To-
kio, Moyle said. They were forced
down on an uninhabited, unnamed
island. Waiting a week until the
storm abated, they took off again
and headed northwestward, finally
being forced down by lack of fuel
at Maino Pirgino, near Cape Ma

message would reach John Buffelin,
Tacoma capitalist who owned their

ly the City of Tacoma II-and who

Against Pests

who have battled through the
summer against an overwhelm-
ing plague of grasshoppers had
a new ally today in huge
swarms OF seagulls which set

pests. The Mormons saw i'll
their coming a miracle, and
erected a statue which stands
near the great Mormon taber-

Basis OF Report.
BY KEITH JONES
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Sept. 18. U.P)-Warn-
ing that the present grave situa-
tion in Great Britain may cause
an alarming fall in the pound
sterling" was given the government
by the board OF governors OF the
Bank of England, the Daily Mai
said today.
The precariousneSs of the ex-
change situation was said to be
mainly the result of the passive
strike" of enlisted men of the At
lantic fleet and rumors of gen.
eral election. According to the
Daily Mail, officials of the Bank
Of England requested the govern
ment to announce definitely that
q general election was not con-
templated soon.
A cabinet meeting at which
the government was said to have
received the views of the Bank
of England ended late last
night without an announce
ment of what took place. 1t
was understood Prime Minister
Ramsay Mcdonald urged an
early decision for or against a
general election.
Ships of the Atlantic fleet will
reach their home ports Saturday,
where they were ordered after the
passive mutiny of enlisted men had
forced the suspension of high sea
maneuverS, with the official intima-
ton that the men who struck
against pay cuts will not be pros
ecuted.
''The past is the past" Sir Austen
Chamberlain. first lcrd of the ad-
miralty, told the house of COM
mons at the conclusion of the dis
cusSion Of the sailors strike. 1T

BISHOP CANNON
IS OPPOSED TO
ROOSEVELT BOOM

NEW YORK, Sept. Is. (U.P)-Gov-
ernor Franklin d. Roosevelt's views
on prohibition make him just as in
acceptable to dry Democrats as a
presidential candidate as was Al
fred f. Smith, Bishop James Can
non Jr., OF the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, said on his arrival
from Europe.
The Virginia Methodist leader an
nounced his intention of actively
opposing the Roosevelt presidential
boom. He also will fight the cam
didacy of anyone not whole heart
edly in favor of the 18th amend
ment and the Volstead Act, he said.
Cannons activities against Smith
in Virginia in 1923 were credited
with helping Hoover to carry the
state. The senate committee, head
ed by Senator Gerald p. Nye, of
North Dakota, has been investigat-
ing his use of funds in that cam
paign.

BUSINESS MEN
MEET TO TALK
OVER RELIEF
First Committee Meeting
In Washington To Con-
slider Raising Funds.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. U.pI
Owen D. Young gathered about him
here today group OF big business
men to initiate the most important
function of President Hoover's un-
employment organization-the COL
lection of funds for relief this WIN
ter.
Billions of dollars of American
business was represented about the
table as Youngs committee on mob
ilization of relief resources, one of
four key committees, assembled to
plan a nation wide campaign for
contributions that will utilize the
radio, the public platform, the pull
pit, the press, the schools and other
avenues of publicity. This was the
first meeting of any of the COM
mittees.
Talks Money
The tall we'll dressed chairman of
the board of General Electric
talked with the heads of other large
corporations, bankers and railroad
presidents the language with
which they are all familiar-money
Sizeable contributions are expect
ed from these men and their friends
along with their services in inspir-
! ing others to give No estimate has
been made of the amount needed
nor of how much they expect to
raise.
The purpose of the committee of
10 is not actually to collect money
but to inject pep and vigor into To-
cal agencies all over the country.
Walter S. Clifford, director of the
presidents organization, who sat
with the committee, has emphasized
repeatedly that this is not a ma
tional campaign, but local cam
paign sponsored on a nationwide
basis by his organization.
Whether the committee will be
able to raise enough money to care
for relief needs, so that federal ap-
preparations will be unnecessary,
remains to be seen. Clifford has re-
fused to commit himself as to
whether he would advocate direct
federal appropriations if enough
money is not forthcoming from pri-
vate and state sources, saying I'VE
will cross that bridge when we get
to it."
