LIE was christened Ulysses Simp- HI son Grant. but he became more popularly known after the Civil War as Unconditional Surrender" Grant, a title he earned when. in his campaign on the Tennessee River in 1862. he demanded the complete surrender of General Buckner at Fort Donelson.
 But more memorable was Grants gracious gesture at Appomattox Courthouse, Va, when he sat op- posite the defeated Gen. Robert E. Lee. saw his bejewelled sword. and added the note to the terms of sur. render that all sidearms might be retained.
 Grant tried to retain his trust in others. when he became presi. dent in 1868. and fell victim to the intrigues of his political friends. As a result, his administration was marked by one of the most fia- grant financial scandals and panics in United States history. He fell heavily in debt after his retire. ment. and received full pension as general until his death at the age of 6.

KETCHIKAN TO
 MAKE PROTEST
 TOLEC|SLATORS
City Plans Mass Meeting on Strike While Norah in
 Port Tomorrow

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Dec 28.- In an effort to coordinate Alaskan protests in the maritime strike, the City Council at special meeting last night joined hands with the Pioneers of Alaska in calling a mass meeting late tomorrow when the Canadian steamer Princess Norah docks with a number of Territorial Legislators and others prominent in Territorial affairs who are enroute to Juneau.
 Leaders here pointed out that not only will continuance Of the strike prevent shipment to Alaska of needed mining and fishing equip ment, but provision must be made to ship south about 5,00O,000 pounds of fresh fish.
 Appeals are planned not only to President Roosevelt and Congress but shipowners and unions. It is complained that government oper- ation cannot be adequate without early. charters and many more boats which is feared unlikely. It was pointed out, for example, that the Gorgas carried some liquor cargo here while leaving on the dock in Seattle wire and other materials necessary to preserve Ketchikan's industrial payroll.

PRODUCTION OF
 GOLD FOR 1886
 IS PLACED HIGH
Experts Estimate Forty Mil lion Ounces Will
 Be Mined
Virginia Simns

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Treas- ury experts calculate that the worlds 1886 crop of gold will reach a new peak and pondered it's possi- billie effects on the International money markets.
 Production estimates for the world including Russia, may approximate 40,000,00O ounces compared to the previous peak of 3o,o0O,0O0 ounces in 1885.
 The grip Governments now have on their monetary structures makes it difficult to predict how the out pouring will be reflected in money.
 Experts are of the opinion that the effect will be cushioned in the United States by the Treasury's re- gently announced decision to "ster- ilize' newly acquired gold and pre- vent its use in credit imitation.

PEACE FADES AS WAR CONTINUES ON WATERFRONT
McGrady Reports Another Deadlock, First Real
 Crisis" of Tieup

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Ed- ward F. McGrady, Assistant Secre- tary cf Labor, said today that a new break in peace negotiations had resulted over the vital issue of control of hiring as it would affect licensed ships officers and he declared it the first real crisis" of the 61-day tieup.
 Both shipow and union spokesmen admitted today the issue was definitely deadlocked. The masters, mates and pilots said notifications were offered but op- orators broke off negotiations very definitely, saying they would not consider union preference in enl- ployment of any of their licensed officers"
 Notifications were reported to include a proposal that union mem- bers be given preference up to third and fourth mate positions, employers remaining free to select those of higher rank.
 At San Pedro last night, Harry Bridges, I. L. A. President, pre- dicted complete tieup of Atlantic Coast shipping in the next two weeks if peace negotiations on the Pacific Coast continue in dead lock"
 We have not heard of reserves in the field" he said.
 McGrady conferred by telephone for a half an hour with Washing ton today concerning the critical turn in negotiations. He continued arbitration efforts, arranging a meeting of ship-owners and cooks and stewards and then planned for session of radio telegraphers to- morrow and longshoremen later. He is leaving Friday for Washington to attend the opening of Congress January 5.
 Former Mayor John Wilson of Honolulu arrived in the Clipper plane yesterday from the Islands to meet with the joint strike policy committee in an effort to arrange for a relief ship to Honolulu.

Ground P arty Reaches Scene Victims Taken
 from Tangled Mass
PILOT BELIEVED TO
 HAVE LOST BEARINGS
First Lives Lost by U. A. L. Since Operating Dur
 ing Past Six Years

BURBANK, Cal, Dec. 29. - The ground party which early last night reached the wreckage of the United Air Lines transport near Saugus, reported all twelve occupants were killed and wreckage was scattered down the slope of Oak Mountain. It took hours to bring the bodies from the tangled ~Teckage on the steep Rice Canyon, 20 miles north of here, to the nearest road and then to the mortuaries.
 Bodies Are Crushed
 All of the bodies were crushed by the fuselage and death is said to have been instant.
 Department of Air Commerce h. spectors went to the scene with the searching parties.
 It is the first time the United Ali Lines has lost passenger in the six years of operation. flying over the San Francisco or Los Angeles routes. Seven million miles have been flown.
 Bearings Lost
 Company officials theorized that Pilot Edward Blum suddenly lost his bearings in attempting to turn back to the emergency field at Saugus when he crashed.
 The passengers were mostly those on holiday trips.
 The body of Alex Novak, of Fl Centro, was the first to reach the highway. Ranch horses brought out the remains of the victims over eight miles of muddy, twisting trails. The plane crashed within 25 miles of the heart of Los Angeles.
 Had Pilot Bum cleared the ridge he could have easily and safe- ly glided into the Union Airport after seven minutes flying time.
 Besides the loss of the airplane and the twelve aboard, the week end storm caused half a million dollars damage in California beach cottages and small boats along the coast.
 Recover Bodies
 Bodies recovered are those of A. L. Markwell of Los Angeles.
 MT. and Mrs. Edward T. Ford Jr., of San Marine He was the son of the President of the Grace Steam ship Line.

FAIL TO LOCATE LATEST VICTIM
 OF ABDUCT| ION
Officials Believe It May Have Been Accident
 Chas. Mattson Taken
FIND MYSTERY LADDER IN NEIGHBORHOOD
Checking Reports of Prev ious Attempts to Enter
 Homes Tn that Area

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 29.-As tha thirty-sixth hour of the search for kidnapped Charles Mattson passed without developments the official searching force disclosed the ten year-old boy might have been an accidental victim.
 It is said the ransom note de- manding $28,00o is dirty and frayed. has been folded and refolded and printed for some time and perhaps carried in pocket for two or three weeks. It is thus believed the kid- naper had been watching the Matt son home for some time or had been carrying the note in his pocket, cruising the neighbofhood in search of some kind of a victim.
 Ladder May Be Clue
 The police hold that rough lad der may be possible clue connect ing the Kidnapping with previous att tempted crimes in the neighborhood. Experts scanned for finger prints on the ladder which was recovered today by the police from Haddeway Hall, one block and half from the Mattson home.
 Early Attempted Crime
 The ladder was first found placed against a wall early in November. a few days after George Franklin, Jr., chain store owner, and his wife moved there. One night she was awakened by beams of a flashlight and man climbing in window. She screamed, the man hastily went down the ladder, the night watchman arrived and took several shots at the fleeing intruder. The police watched the place for two nights.
 Second Attempt
 The watchman was surprised one night by heavily bearded man. swarthy and squat, standing on top of a stairway. He held a pistol in one hand and flashlight in the other. The watchman ran for his rifle and the bearded man dashed down the stairway leading to the Franklin Apartments and out on the lawn. The watchman fired one shot at the fleeing man.
 Then the Franklin family moved to California
