Senator Plttman Plays Borahs Condemna-
 tions Tn Debate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Sena- tor William E. Borah today told the Senate that the world has been led to believe that Great Britain and the United States had an alliance" for the building up of their navies
 The Senator sounded a warning that it is the same kind of a situa- tion that led to the World War He gave his veWs of the foreign situation during a general debate on the American foreign policy in which that policy was defended by Senator Key Pittman, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee
 Senator Pittman attacked Borah in replying to remarks the Idaho Senator had made in which he sald the American foreign policy is the same as it has been ever since Roosevelt took office - "non-inter- vention, on-interference in the af- fairs of other governments"
 With reference to President Roosevelt's Ohio speech, Borah re- torted that the speech suggesting a quarantine of warning nations fol- lowed by the inconclusive conference Brussels with regards to the Far Eastern situation has left us in a pusillanimous position, having thre- atsned nation and not carrying 1t through"

The condi- ton of the trail will be improved and the time necessary to qualify in the final event Will be determ- ined from the condition of the trail and quality of the snow in the elim- ination race.
 Any person failing to finish be- cause of broken equipment may ap- ply to the committee consisting of E. Parsons, N. Banfield and Curtis Shattuck for permission to qualify later. International Downhill Rac- ing rules must be observed and any person, overtaken by a faster run ner, who fails to move off the trail to the right hand side will be dis qualified.

YAK0BI LANDS
 TRAPPERS BUT
 CAN'T GET BODY
Heavy Seas Again Frustrate Efforts to Reach Body
 on Lincoln Island

Capt Tom Smith of the Yakobi and Deputy Marshal William Markle were successful in reaching the south side of Lincoln Island yesterday after running through a heavy sea but were unable to get around to the other side of the island where the body of a man believed to be Claud Phillips was reported by Thomas Townsend and z. Goshgarian, trappers of that dis trict.
 The Yakobi took the two trap pers back to the island but it took more than an hour to get them ashore with their supplies due to the heavy swells, Deputy .Markle reported. Their skiff swamped on several occasions but the transfer to shore was finally made.
 The officer then considered cross ing the island and bringing the body overland but he found three to four feet of snow in the heavy timber which made it an almost impossible task. He said there was so much snow that the deer were all down on the beach and the party saw many of them.
 The Yakobi left early yesterday morning and didn't get back until around o'clock last night and then only after a severe beating in the raging sea
 When the weather abates author ities will try again to reach the ncrth side of the island in an effort to get the reported body.

SEARCH PRESSED
|NMATTSONC CASE
Special Bulletins Sent to All
Police Departments by
Head Of F. B. /.

A number Of so-callsd "Mattson
suspects" have been questioned by po-
lice In various parts Of the country re-
Gently, apparently as the result Of spe-
cial bulletins sent to al police de-
partments within the past few weeks
by J. Edgar Hoover. director of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation.
The most recent bulletin on the
Mattson case. issued July 1. contained
detailed description Of the swarthy
kidnaper who broke into the home Of
DR.. w. w. Mattson at Tacoma, Wash.
shortly after . pm. on December ~,
1896, and abducted 1O-year- -old
Charles Mattson after tossing to the
floor q prepared ransom note.
A preceding statement, issued In the
F. B. I. Law Enforcement Bulletin for
June, said the search for the kidnaper
has spread to all sectors of the United
States and to some foreign countries"
and that new suspects are continu.
ously being reported"
All Leads to BE Probed.
Detailed investigation has con-
tinued by the F. B. I. during the past
l6 months" the bulletin said, "and all
leads will continue to receive special
attention until this crime is solved"
When the. kidnaper broke the glass
In q French door and entered the
Mattson home, the bulletin stated, he
wore . black handkerchief over the
lower portion Of his face. This ker.
chief dropped before he left the house,
however, af1ording William Mattson.
Is. and his sister Muriel, IS, . good
view Of the intruder's face.
The witnesses, who included house
guest, Virginia Chattfield, IS. esti-
mated the mans age at from IS to
IS years. He was an inch or two
shorter than william Mattson, which
would have made his height approx.
mately S feet and Z inches. He was
described as slender and his weight
was estimated at from 100 to $50
pounds.
May BE Foreigner.
The kidnaper was unshaven and Of
dark complexion. He had the ap-
pearance, the F. B. I. said. of q person
Of "Slavonian, Austrian. Italian or
Southern European extraction" His
speech was slightly broken and in
distinct.
There was white mark across the
bridge Of his nose, it was stated, but
this may have been caused by the
pressure Of the handkerchief across
his nose.
He wore tan checked cap, dark
(probably blue or black upper jacket,
dark trousers and black shoes.
The witnesses indicate that the
appearance Of the man was that Of an
uneducated person and one possibly
connected with the water 'front.'" the
F. B. I. stated. His actions and de.
meanor were said to reflect an uncer-
tainty in the carrying out Of the de-
tails OF this kidnapping. yet there was
no indication of haste nor alarm a
to possibility Of apprehension while tn
the Mattson home. according to the
information furnished by the wit
nesses."
