CRASH PLANE
 TO AGAIN FLY
 AT YAKATAGA
Wheels Can Be Easily Plac- ed Under Ship, As-
 serts Pilot Cross

Pilot J. M. Cross, who brought the Cordova Air Service Bellanca Pacemaker land plane to Juneau last night reports that the Bellanca seaplane, which was forced down on the beach near Yakataga village last Saturday with four passengers aboard, is not badly damaged, aside from the pontoons which were stripped off by alder brush.
 Pilot Cross flew from Cordova Tuesday, and reached the scene of the forced landing at almost the same time as Pilot Alex Holden flying the PAA Fairchild, who was dispatched from Juneau Tuesday morning to search for the Cordova seaplane. Pilot Gross said one wing tip of the seaplane was slightly in- jured but that the damage can easily be repaired on the beach. Within a few days wheels will be taken to the scene of the crash and attached to the seaplane in place of the damaged pontoons. After the change has been made the con- verted ship will be flown back to Cordova.
 Pilot Cross said that at the pres ent time it Is impossible for sea- plane to land near the shore at any point within considerable distance of the seaplane on the beach because of a field of ice about one fourth mile wide ex- tending for miles along the coast.
 Pilot Alex Holden of the PAA received the following telegram from Cordova today: Accept our sincere thanks until better paid. Letter in mail (signed) Cordova Air Service, Kirk"

MORRC CASTLE USE
DECLINED BY NAVY
Vessel Now Offered for Sale to
Lowest Bidder by War
Department.

The Navy today declined the steam.
ship Moro Castle for use as a naval
auxiliary and the War Department,
accordingly proposes to offer her for
sale.
The Board of Inspection and Survey
Of the Navy Department, headed by
Rear Admiral George c. Day, has
inspected the hulk. which was refloated
of the New Jersey coast by Army
Engineers and towed to New York
harbor, but found her worthless fol-
naval purposes. Admiral Day and his
associates made careful inspection OF
the craft. but today advised Secretary
Swanson that she is not availble for
the service.
Originally, it was planned to use the
Moro Castle, after reconditioning, II
found suitable, as an aircraft tender
It has been enormously reported, off,
cials recalled today, that she was SLATED
to be an aircraft carrier. The de-
struction wrought to the vessel and
the storms of the Winter that battered
her at Asbury Park, N. j., made hel
unsuitable for reconditioning by the
Navy, as 1t was found this would be
too costly.
The War Department has an.
nounced through the United States
Engineer Office of the second district
in New York City that sealed bids will
be received until IL am. a week from

Bishop James Cannon, jr., en- route
from Florida to California, in state
ment today predicted ratification of
the Sheppard prohibition amendment
by 1910 or 1912.
Speaking for the Legislative Com
mittee Of the Anti-Saloon League, he
said:
Fifteen months after the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment, the coun-
try now has opportunity to face and to
pass Judgment upon the traffic re-
suits which have followed that repeal.
Unprecedented increases in drunken
ness Of men and women, boys and
girls, appalling increases in deaths
and manning from drunken drivers
and drunken pedestrians, and the no.
torious, shameful debauchery of girls
and women, such facts, undeniably,
proclaim the absolute failure of repeal,
the tremendous value of prohibition
before repeal, and call in thunder tones
for return to national prohibition.
THE recent convention of the Anti
Saloon League at st. Petersburg, Fla,
was one of the greatest in recent years (;

Seek Aid in Forests

THE Department of Agriculture,
charged with the responsibility Of
curtailing farm products to the point
that dangerous surpluses are avoided,
has another problem on its hands
what to do with the labor and land
taken from the production of staple
crops.
The forests offer the solution of the
second problem. The department be-
Heves that fully one-third Of the area
of the United States is suitable for
forest and should be so developed.
The tragic waste of forest land in the
past through faulty numbering prac-
ticeS, fire and failure to carry on q
reforestation program has brought
about a condition giving conserva-
tionistS serious concern.
Under the program being put into
operation by the department the waste
land is being turned back once more
to the growth of trees, the develop
ment of recreational centers and
SanctuarieS where wild life can be
perpetuated.
The forest development is essential
if the United States is to escape the
fate of China and the Holy Land, for
instance, where the absence of trees
has brought about destruction Of agri-
culture and the ever-present threat
of drought or flood.

Chemists Attack waste

THE depression has turned the at
tention Of research experts to new
means of producing needy materials
and new means of employing waste
products. The Bureau of Chemistry
and Soils has done important work
along these lines.
For instance, at Laurel, Miss, o
factory has been established for the
production of starch from sweet
potatoes. A prospective market Of
about 100000 pounds Of starch from
sweet potatoes has been found and
the chemists Of the bureau have de-
termined that about Is small factories
can well be established to meet this
demand
The employment possible would
provide work for $500 heads Of
families.
Another line Of research is aimed
at utilization of at least part Of the
100000 900 tons of straw and stalks
which go to waste annually on the
farms Of the country. It has been
determined that both paper and paper
board can be made successfully from
the stalks, and with American con-
sumption Of these two articles totaling
around 100000 tons annually, the
experts are seeking to produce o
satisfactory product on basis making
1t economically sound.

secreted in places of vantage encir-
cling the premises and strategy for
effecting the final coup Is discussed.
If the situation is deemed to be ad-
vantageous for approaching the house
stealthily, under cover Of darkness,
and trapping the quarry asleep, that
method is followed. Another class
may decide the gangsters should be
called upon to surrender. In this
event the enemy usually refuses, and
the agents then open fire with their
gas guns. The law invariably tri-
umphs in these raids, whatever the
strategy used.
IN ADDITION to the intensive gun
practice given all new agents. the
veteran members of the service are
required to qualify in gun practice
monthly. 1t is of interest to note that
among Hoover's agents are former
national pistol champion and United
States rifle team member, State
peace officers pistol champion and a
number of other pistol and rifle and
machine gun experts.
To be eligible for appointment as q
special agent of the Bureau Of Inves-
tigation an applicant must be an at
torney, an expert accountant or an
experienced investigator and must be
between the ages of 25 and IS years.
Before being accepted for training he
must pass rigid oral and written ex-
aminations designed to test his per-
sonal qualifications, education, re-
sourcefulness, tact and general ability.
He must also submit to thorough
investigation of his character and
reputation in the community.
These hurdles passed, he is enrolled
for the IL weeks Of training in the
crime detection school.
The dean" Of this school is Hugh
H. Clegg, an assistant director of the
bureau and one of its most expert
enced investigators. There are five
full-time instructors on the regular
faculty and nearly 80 special lecturers
on sundry phases Of criminal detec-
ton and apprehension. OF the five
full-time faculty members, two have
majored in education at college, two
have had college teaching experience,
three have had teaching experience in
preparatory or high schools, two are
Phi Beta Kappa men and one is a
Rhodes scholar.
There are three main class rooms,
equipped with chairs and desks in the
manner Of any up-to-date college
lecture hall. All three class rooms
usually are occupied at once. for two
or three groups of men ordinarily are
in training at the same time. One
group may consist entirely Of veteran
agents who must come to Washington
at least once a year for q month Of
retraining in latest methods of pro-
cedure.
For every five prospective agents IN
training there is one experienced agent
assigned as guide and counselor. He

the day, was surprised to see a small
screen across the instructors desk. A
desk lamp, unlighted. stood in front
Of the screen. Two men sat behind
the desk, but were not visible to the
students.
One Of the men back Of the desk
reached over the screen and snapped
the switch on the light. 1t would not
go on. The other man went to a
wall switch, pushed a button, but still
the lamp remained unlighted. An
then stepped forward, screwed the
bulb into the socket and the light
went on. In turning the light on,
the agent tipped the screen over,
giving the students good view Of the
two men who had been behind it.
The instructor at this point an
nounced that perception test"
would be made. Each of the pupils
was told to make a complete written
report on exactly what had occurred.
The reports were remarkable. Some
Of the students had one man snap
ping the lamp and wall switches.
Others thought two men had done
the swapping, but changed the Sc
quence of events. There were other
glaring mistakes. Few gave a fairly
accurate report on the incidents.
At another time the students heard
q terrific crash in an adjoining room.
An interval of exactly half a minute
elapsed and another crash resounded.
Just one minute later @ third crash
was heard.
The tension was relieved by the
instructors smiling announcement
that an auditory test" was the order
Of the morning. He directed the
class to make written reports de-
scribing the noises, with particular
reference to the time elapsing between
each crash.
You would be surprised at the
variation in estimates of elapsed
time" Mr.. Clegg said in an inter-
view. "They ranged from minute
or two to as much as half an hour"
THESE perception tests are in
tended not only to demonstrate
the unreliability of so-called eye
witness testimony, but to sharpen the
eyes and ears Of the embryo investi-
gators.
There are times, however. when
