GLACIATION IN ALASKA

Stephen Capps, of the Geo. logical Survey, has written a brief account of his studies in giaciation in Alaska. He predicts a possible recurrence of a fur tf1er ice-age in the distant fu- ture, which he explains would require only a lowering of tenn perature between 10 and 20 de- grees. He says: "It is probable
 that in Alaska, as in other parts of the world, there have been recurrent glacial periods from mid -Paleozoic time to the pre- sent. This was to have been ex- rected, for unless the earths poles have wandered m u c h farther than has been deter
 mined, the high latitude of Alaska would always have fav- cred glaciation there as com- pared with more temperate lands. Furthermore, for much If Geologic time there have pro- bably been high mountain areas in Alaska, and in these areas local glaciers might have been fostered even when glaciers could not exist in the loWlands. ?

RE|CHSTAG FACES
EARLY DISSOLUTION
Will Reconvene Tomorrow.
Hindenburg to Confer
With Presidium.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BERLIN. September 1o.-There ap-
peared tonight to be only two possible
ways of averting dissolution of the
Reichstag, which reconvenes on
Monday.
Either President Won Hindenburg
must agree to drop Chancellor Franz
Won Papen, or else the National Social
lists, Centrists and Bavarians. who
command 327 out of the SOB Reichstas
votes, must adopt a policy of tacit
liberation Of the present government.
The hour for the Presidents con-
ference with the presidlum of the
Relchstag headed by President Wilhelm
Goering, the Nazi, was set for 5 pm
Monday. Immediately after Won Papen
makes the governments declaration be-
fore the lawmakers.
Strategic Advantage Seen.
Previously the audience had been
set for Tuesday. In some quarters the
new hour was regarded as a strategic
advantage for the government. since
the chancellor will have possibly an in
sight into the mood of the opposition
rms advance knowledge, 1t was con-
tended, would enable him to Judge the
aoVlsabillty of invoking a dissolution
decree already in his possession and
signed in blank by the chief executive,
Whether this line of reasoning was
correct remained to be seen. since the
lnslstence on advancing the conference
10 Monday came from opposition
ranks-ln fact, from Herr Goering him
self. -4A---
Meanwhile, Adolf Hitler, leader of the
National Socialists, and Adam Steper-
Wald, who served as minister of labor
under Chancellor Heinrich Bruening
conferred on program of both per-
sonalitieS and economic and political
projects which they hope to submit tc
the President They will remind him
OF his inaugural address in 1925. In
wtch he said that the ''Reichstag ano
the Reich's President belong together
and both together constitute the incar-
nation OF the sovereignty Of the people. y
Pressure Exerted.
In political circles supporting the
present government, 1t was said, how
ever, that President Won Hindenbure
probably will inform the two party lead
ers that cooperation is easy to obtain
If the Reichstag rallies behind the pro-
gram of political and economic projects
drawn up by Chancellor Won Papen.
From every side pressure has been
exerted on the cabinet and on the vari-
Gus parties to do everything possible to
avert dissolution of the Reichstag on
the grounds that it would result in the
stagnation of business life and in seri-
Gus handicaps so far as Germany's for
elgn policy S concerned.

BY the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES. September 10.-Paul
Bern, film producer, who shot himself
to death Sunday night, underwent an
policy September /, DR.. Harry NJ Bran
del said today, and was found to be in
perfect physical condition.
The medical examination was made
at the request of life insurance COM
pany and Bern was recommended as a
"first-class" risk. The name Of the
beneficiary was not disclosed.
The film producers funeral rite of
the past, talk here turned to wills while
San Francisco and Sacramento police
watched the Sacramento River for the
body Of a Dorothy Millette, who disap-
peared from river steamer. Police
believed her to have been the Dorothy
Millette who was known in New York
as Mrs. Paul Bern.
Press Search for Actress.
Seeking to uncover a motive, author
tiles have pressed their search for Miss
Millette, former actress, with whom
Bern lived, his relatives said, for nearly
a score Of years. Miss Millette became
Ill and Bern placed her in sanitarium.
Bern's brother and sister said they
never married, but an insurance man,
G. G. Clarken, who sold the film pro-
ducer a policy IL years ago. said Bern
told him he was legally married to a
woman who had become mentally un-
balanced.
San Francisco police expressed belief
that the answer to the disappearance Of
the Miss Millette on the steamer may
be locked in the woman's trunk at a
hotel there.
The trunk, left at the hotel when the
woman departed hurriedly last Tuesday,
a day after Bern's suicide, and engaged
passage on Sacramento river steamer,
police said, contains her personal papers,
and, it is believed. a diary, which may
clear up the affair. The police, how
ever, have been refused permission to
open the trunk and inspect its contents
until 1t has been turned over 10 rela-
tives.
Probe Two Theories.
Meanwhile, authorities based their in
vestigation on two possibilities: That
Miss Millette deliberately leaped from
the river steamer and was drowned, or
that her disappearance was a Suicide
hoax" Her clothes were found in the
steamer state room she had engaged.
Oscar Cummins, Los Angeles attor-
ney, said second will was made by
Bern since his marriage to Miss Har-
low, but Ralph Blum, another attorney
representing the Bern interests here,
said no will leaving Bern's property to

Blum said he had been advised that
Bern drew up will in 1920 in New
York, in which he was reported to have

RUSSIAN PLOT SEEN
IN ROBINS MYSTERY
Disappearance of Dry Leader
Linked With Activities
for Soviet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Belief that either amnesia or Russian
ImperialiStS we're. responsible for the
mysterious disappearance of Col. Ray
mond Robins, dry leader, gained
strength yesterday among Federal on
GERS here.
Amos w. w. woodcock, director of
the Prohibition Bureau, which has been
charged with finding Robins, said his
Florida agents had discovered nothing
so far to subStantiate the theory that
bootleggerS in that State had kidnapped
or harmed the colonel as reprtSal for
his campaign against them.
Active for Soviet Russia.
At the same time, other prohibition
officials recalled that Robins had been
active recently for recognition Of Soviet
Russia. He had conference with
Soviet officials just last week. they said.
Unverifled reports Of threats by Russian
ImperialiSts have been encountered by
several Investigators, officers asserted.
They said, too, that the fernando
County, Fla, bootleggers do not operate
on Nationwide scale.
There were continuing efforts to md
clues substantiating the Russian theory,
but special agents considered seriously
that the 59-year-old man might have
lost his memory. They checked re-
ports that he had been seen in Chi
cago Thursday afternoon, but nothing
was said publicly as to their conclu-
sions
Woodcock, who termed the case "mys-
tifying," said that if the amnesia theory
were correct 1--WE have every right to
expect that we should hear something
shortly" Many people, he said, had
seen pictures of Robins since he dis
appeared while on his way to Wash
ington from New York City to keep
White House appointment.
II Robins were slain, Woodcock con-
tinued, these same pictures should bring
speedy Identification.
No Trace Found In Chicago
Federal agents in Chicago advised
their superiors here that they had found
no trace Of Robins after a thorough
check Of hotels and hospitals. Some
said it was not unlikely that friends
who said they saw the dry leader in
Chicago the day before his disappear
ance became known were mistaken.
However, Mrs. w. ReQua Bryant and
W. w. Haupt insisted to the Federal
agents that they were positive" they
had seen Robins.
New York City agents, said Wood
cock, established that Robins had mailed
letter to Mrs. Robins at the Central
Post ONCE at pm. last Saturday.
nearly two hours after he checked out
Of his club and said he was coming to
Washington. From that hour on,
though, there has been no clue-except
for the reported Chicago identi1ca-
