GREELY YCLINGS
GRIMLY T0L|FE

With the tenacity which brought
him to safety SO years ago after
being lost for three years in Arc
tic wastes, Maj. Gen. Adolphus
Greely, explorer, was clinging to
life today in Walter Reed Hos
pital.
When physicians told him early
today that he has only very slim
chance of living, General Greely
did not finch. For this 91-year.
old trail.blazer has come to grips
with death before and emerged
the victor.
Nearly Is years before Admiral
Peary planted the United States
flag on the roof of the world,
General Greely had led rs com
panions north Of the Greenland
wastes to within striking distance
of the North Pole.
Three years later, Admiral
Schley, who later found fame in
the Spanish-American War, sue
ceeded in breaking through the
ice floes of the far north to res
cue General Greely and six other
emaciated men, the sole survivors
of the original band.
In belated recognition of his
arctic experiences, the Govern
ment last spring awarded General
Greely the Congressional Medal Of
Honor.

HUNT I IN PLOT
ON MAE WEST

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. o d.N.SJ.
Two Eastern hoodlums today
were being sought by police here
as the asserted brains" in the
$1,000 extortion plot aimed at
Mae West, glamorous screen
beauty.
While George Janios, 38-year-
old Greek bus boy at a film
studio restaurant reiterated his
plea of innocence in the plot, po-
lice continued to question him.
Janios was arrested when he
assertedly sought to flee with a
package of bogus money left un.
der a palm tree in a vacant lot
near a studio. The package was
placed under the tree in response
to instructions given in the eX-
tortion letters received by the
film star.
The letters received by Miss
West threatened Disagreement by
acid, or death if the demands
for $1,000 were not met. Janios
declared:
II swear had nothing to do
with this thing. / was walking
near the studio when / saw the
package in a palm tree and
took it. It looked like a lost
purse to me and 1 just took it,"
Blayney Matthews, chief inves-
tigator for the District Attorneys
office. expressed the belief Janios
merely acted as a go-between for
the extortioniStS.
Police refused to divulge the
identity of the eastern hoodlumS
they were seeking or what clue
led them to suspect out-of-town
gangsterS were behind the plot.

COSTS
To RISE WITH
WHEAT PRICE

Coincident with a rise in wheat
prices in all world markets, leaders
of the baking industry today pre-
dicted increased bread prices and
possible reduction in the quality of
wheat loaves because of the domes-
tic grain situation.
Despite recent completion of the
1885 harvest. good wheat for bread
making is difficult to obtain and
supplies from now on until the next
harvest will be wholly inadequate,
the bakers said.
In addition, they added, millers
are complaining of their inability
to absorb the rising price of wheat
and flour jobbers are protesting the
strain of the processing tax.
For the first time in history 1t
was said, white spring wheat is be-
ing transported from the Pacific
coast to the middle west and the
east. Several million bushels have
been imported from Canada and
