slip down between the two-by- fours). This young man, Joe Arn- uknuk, of Kodiak, it was found later, thus broke both bones of his lower right leg. Long after dark the surf boat returned to the ship through the surf bringing Amuknuk, and Mrs, McCord, Miss Hilda Green and Frances Meusel, the latter two of Chicago, IL
 Did Fine Wcrk
 Lieut.. (j.g) G. H. Brallier did a fine piece of work getting so many of the party back at this hour. Although the surf had gone down somewhat, 1t was neverthe- less quite an undertaking to bring an injured man and three women out to the vessel under the con- ditions
 The next morning, MT. Brallier, in charge of the motor sailer and a surf boat, went in to bring in the rest of the party and all the baggage and bedding. The motor sailer was anchored beyond the the surf and the transfer of the rest of the party and the baggage to the ship was accomplished by g a. m
 Food Short
 
 When the party was picked up they had only beef and bread to eat. The beef was obtained as it usually is on the island, by shooting bull, but they had subsisted on this kind of meat for so long that it had become very unpalatable. Their bread was made from flour. the last of which was year old and wormy and buggy In order to make bread they had to use three of four times the ordinary amount of yeast. The coffee was used up within about a week of their arrival on Chiri- kof. They made biscuits out of baking soda, flour, tallow and water the tallow being melted down from the bull fat, They used tallow for butter-or nothing.
 Matches Nearly Gone
 "The match situation was ser ious and the party had one penny box of matches left %n they were rescued.
 The matter of ammunition was approaching a serious point. It was necessary to be armed in walk ing across the island, as there are numerous bulls in the cattle herd and they are quite ready to charge anyone on foot. They had only 20 rounds of ammunition left and had begun to break down shotgun charges and met the pellets into slugs big enough to kill q bull and thus maintain their meat supply.
 With the highly unbalanced diet and total lack of vegetables in the latter part of their stay, they found themselves. hungry no matter how much bull beef and musty bread they ate.
 SMOKE ALFALFA
 Some of the party were quite heavy smokers. including the two girls from Chicago. and they were hard put to it to find substitu- tions. The best stitute they found after trying tea, powdered yeast and other things, was al- falfa which had been left on the island for horsefeed. Into the al- falfa they rubbed mentholatum and dubbed the product 'Chirikof Spuds.' They told me this was al- most passable as a smoke, how ever they ran. out of mentholatum few days before the -Tallapoosa arrived.r

 Scarcity of medium and medium fine wools continued to hold prices of those grades particularly firm and attracted relatively more buy CTS to those wools than to others for the moment.

GENERAL REVOLT
 WAS IN MAKING
BY ROBERT II. BEST United Press Stan COrrcspOndcnt)

Vienna, Oct 4. (UP)-Informa- ton in the hands of the govern ment to-day led to the belief that the shots that struck Chancellor Engelberth Dollfuss yesterday from the revolver of would-be assassin were to have been the sig: nal for n general revolt.
 Vice. Chancellor Emil Fey dis closed that he learned three days ago that the Syrian Heimwehr which attempted a Putsch In 1881, and which recently deserted the banner of Ernst Starhemberg, leader of the Heimatblock, had ad- vised its membership to "prepare for action"
 The Styrian group went over to the Nazis, Fey revealed, and sent couriers throughout the ancient Duchy and into some parts of Carinthia, telling their followers that important political events were impending.
 Coupled with these facts, 1t be- came known that Riamund Guen- ther, stepfathcr of Rudolf Dertil, the youth who wounded the chan cellor, with whom Dertil lived. was a member of the Styrian Heim- wohr.
 Guenther, writer, was once at- tached to the imperial court, and his father was said to have been dentist to the old emperor, Franz Josef,

LEGION STANDING
 AT CROSSROADS

Chicago, Oct 4.-UP)-A strong warning that the American Legion stands at the crossroads of future success or renewed criticism was presented to-day by National Commander Louis A. Johnson. to the National Legion convention.
 "The decision must be yours in this convention" said Johnson, whether we shall continue to travel that right road-the road that places the love of country above all else-and thereby march on to still greater glories or wheth- CT we shall retrace our steps and follow the road of recklessness and extravaganza that will surely lead us, and those comrades who are dependent upon us for protec- ton, to disaster and disgrace.
 If we continue along the road we have travelled since March, l have no fear but that we shall re. gain for the disabled all of the benefits that rightfully should be efyen them. Before you depart from such a policy, ask you to remember that 1t will be your dis abled comrades who will suffer most"

New York, Oct 4.-(UP)-Led by @ vigorous rally in repeal stocks which reflected virginia's vote on repeal of the 18th amendment, the stock market opened stronger to- day with trading more active than at recent sessions.
 Blocks of stock ranging up to 5000 shares came out in the initial trading and gains ranging to more than 2 points were marked up. All groups share in the stronger tone with copper shares competing with repeal issues for the upward lead- ership.
 American Commercial Alcohol showed an initial advance of 9 1-S points to 59, National Distillers gained l 1-2, to 8S 1-4, and Com mercial Solvents on 5000 shares opened 7-S stronger at 36 7-S. Cerro De. Pasco was the leader among the copper shares with an opening block of 2,000 shares at 38, 2 points over the previous close. Strength in copper shares reflects the MIRA program of steadying copper's invisible supply in an att tempt to aid the domestic copper l market.
 There were several favorable factors before the traders at the opening. Iron Age said Steel pro- duction had advanced i point de- spite labor difficulties; Electric Power output showed greater in- crease over the corresponding week of 1882 than did last week; while trade reports indicated betetr con- ditions generally.
 American Telephone, hammered down by recent depressing tactics, showed a fractional gain and then started whirling forward. U. s. Steel showed a fractional decline at the opening and then climbed. 1 once the upward momentum was noted the market started perform ing in spectacular forward motions. Chrysler, favorite of the pools some weeks ago, started coming out in long strings and showed gain of more than 2 points. General mo- tors showed Q corresponding gain.
