Missing Official
 Found
Japanese Vice-Consul at Nanking Located Wan
 dering in Cemetery

SHANGHAI, June 13. - Eimei Kuramoto, missing Japanese Vice. Consul. has been found alive, wan dering in an ancient cemetery on the, edge of Nanking.
 Chinese officials said Kuramoto showed signs of mental lapse and was in a state of exhaustion, pre- sumably after several days wander ing.
 Kuramoto's dis ppearance was the cause for rushing Japanese warships to this port with demands from the Japanese that the Vice. Consul be found.
 It was believed Kuramoto may have been the victim of kidnapers and the Japanese were all "het up."
 kuramoto will probably be re- turned to Japan for observation and treatment.
 Officials said Kuramoto slipped away to the Ming Tombs to seek death from starvation or by being eaten by wolves because of an ad- vancement in his work.
 Kuramoto said the wolves came but did not harm him. He grew hungry and sought food from farmers and was found.
 The situation between Japan and China has cleared with the finding of the Vice. Consul.

BOYLE REPORTS UNION FAVORED
 ALASKA TRADE
Auditor, Returning from South, Tells of Final
 Strike Settlement

Longshoremen strikers were req sonable in their position as re- gards Alaska shipping at all times, and once negotiations were started, it was not difficult task to bring about settlement exempting AL aska shipping from the general Pacifis Coast tieup, according to Frank A. Boyle, Territorial Auditor. who returned home last night from months visit to the Northwest,
 It was the insistence Of Loa Angeles, San Francisco and Tacoma strikers on negotiating only on coastWise basis, and on the de- termination of three of the larger operators out of California porte not to make any concessions tc the unions that complicated the situation, he declared.
 Portland unions always stood fast Tor the release of the Alaska ves- sels and most of the Seattle strik- CTS took the same attitude Tacoma was solid against it as were the two California cities named. The big obstacle was in the matter of recognition of the closed shop which was strenuously opposed by some of the larger California op- orators.
 The break came when Mayor Charles L. Smith of Seattle. im- mediately after his induction in office arranged for conference with both sides. This was attended by TO delegates from the strikers and six representatives of the op- orators. MT. Boyle attended by invitation. This launched the nego- tiations which resulted in freeing all Alaska shipping.
 MT. Boyle was high in his praise of the general attitude of the Seattle unions toward Alaska, of the work done by Gov. Clarence D. Martin, Mayor Smith. Judge Rev. holds and other members of the Advisory Labor Board, acting as mediators, Dewey Bennett, Secre- tary of the Seattle Longshoremen's Union and others who took an active part in the negotiations. During his absence, MT. Boyle visited Vancouver, Seattle and Port land He was there but short time due to the strike situation, re- turning to Seattle to lend his as- sistance toward breaking the tieup. Mrs. Boyle remained in Portland. She will visit a while longer in the south before returning home.

Seuen-MiIe Government Cable Is Again Gut by
 Bullet; Arrests Possible

The expensive seven-mile cable of the Government, connecting the city radio office with the tuning station, has again been pierced by a bullet and put out of commits sion. This is the third time in the past few m 0 n hs, careless shooters have wrecked" the com munication line and Government officials are getting right aroused. Operator-in-Charge Charles E.. Smith has radioed Seattle asking for authority to offer a reward for the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the latest damage.
 The cable contains 22 wires. Three pairs of wires were cut by the bullet in the shooting, which occurred sometime yesterday, and the entire cable laid open for short circuiting in case of rain. The present break was found near the Danner barn, about one and one half miles out the highway from the city limits. Smith and Deputy U. s. Marshal Nate Hardy made an effort to run down the guilty ones yesterday afternoon by inquiring at the various beach cabins and homes. The residents of that sec tion are also aroused because care less shooters are constantly en- dangering their lives.
 Twice before the cable has been cut by bullets, shooters apparently testing their marksmanship, un- not thinking of the ex- damage they are doing.
 As the result of the break in the cable, the radio operating staff was moved from the first floor of the Territorial and Federal Build ing today to the upper floor and the tuning station was closed Re- pairs may be made to the cable today and normal operations will again function but in the mean time Operator in- Charge Smit h hopes for approval of his request that a reward be offered for ap- prehension of reckless shooters.
