Story Told Of Hubbard Exp. In
 Arctic Ocean

The voyage of the "AGFA," :" the Eskimo skin boat which took the Father Hubbard Arctic Ex- ped;tion on it's long Arctic trek, terminated at Nome Sunday af- ternoon. ust 38 days after it's departure on July g, the party was back in Nons, having tray erSed over two thousand miles of Storm-tossed Arctic waters.
 At 5 pm. when the big ocmi2k beached at King Island Village East of Nome, all of the l75 King Island IFS were gathered 10 haul the boat ashore and welcome the expedition. The stew pots of the village were already boiling, ard feasting and celebration attend d the return of Chief Isaac to his people.
 Father Hubbard is highly elat- ed at the success Of his alr,ost unbelievable venturs'. which skep tics have predicted would end in the party's rescue by the Coast Guard.
 Two worlds records were es- tablished by the cruiS: of the "AGFA'. The 2OoO mile jour ney was the longest ever made by an ocmiak (skin boat. Ma lives have previously made trips C.; several hundred miles in l.n- g.h. but such 3 trip was attend cd by the necessity of taking the boat out of the water and drying it. The skins of the WairuS GOV cred boat become porous aft:r long emers:On. and the water seeps through. On the "AGFA' this trouble was enumerated with a heavy coat of paint, and although at one landing there was almos, two feet of water in the bottom of the boat, it was never necessary to make camp to dry it.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 18th, (P,- Wid spread disorders marked the anniversary of the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. Incl dents largely occurred in the h. ternational settlement despite au gmena:d patrols.
 Settlement authorities charged that the Japanese army provoked the incidents in an attempt to extend authority over the Inter national Settlement.

Saw Him Leave Home,
Woman TeStifieS

COLUMBUS, Ca, Sept. O.
QN.S).-The things Major John
r. Brooke's neighbors saw and
heard were drawn upon by the
prosecution today in an effort to
prove the Army officer killed his
wife for her insurance.
The officers and their families
who lived nearby, enlisted men
and servants were summoned to
relate the things they casually
saw and heard the morning of
June 8 when, the State claims,
Mrs. Brooke was beaten to death
in their home at Fort Benning.
NEIGHBOR TALKS
Among the witnesses yesterday
was Mrs. Samuel A. Gibson, wife
Of lieutenant colonel at the fort
who lives next door to Major
Brooke. She said she glanced out
of a window and saw him drive
away in his car about half an hour
before Mrs. Brooke's body was
found at the foot of the stairway
by her children.
The major, she said, was dressed
in slacks that appeared wet to the
knees and carried a package. He
had changed to a field uniform
when he was summoned back from
maneuvers later in the afternoon,
Mrs. Gibson'S husband said.
HAD FRACTURED SKULL

L. Purdon, the colonel'S wife, cor

Brooke children-when she passed
the house short time before.

Mrs. Brooke and estimated she
had been killed about 10 a. m, or
nearly two hours before Major
Brooke was seen to leave the house.
He testified her skull had been
fractured as if from a heavy blow.

STORE STRIKE
MAY TIE UP
FRISCO
Spread Imminent
AS Peace Moves
Are Futile

- - SSSSO
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8
U.N.S).-A while 5000 striking
retail department store employees
picketed 27 major department
stores in San Francisco a second
day, Mayor Angelo RosSi was hur-
rying home from Portland, Ore,
to plead anew for peace.
The mayors last plea to the
union to forestall strike action was
turned down Tuesday night when
members decided to strike, after
employers had rejected their de-
mands for preferential hiring and
storewide seniority, or to submit
these disputed issues to arbitra-
ton.
OBJECTIONS CITED
Department store owners had
insisted on retaining control OF
the hiring Of employees, saying that
preferential hiring as outlined by
the unions would give the union
such control. They also desired
to substitute departmental senior
tty for store-wide seniority.
While no peace conference was
scheduled for today, it was ex-
pected the committee OF 43 rep
resenting a cross-section Of big
business in San Francisco would
enter the picture with a request
for officials of the retailers coun-
Gil and the union to meet at round
table discussions.
Rossi and other city officials
were fearful that the strike might
spread because teamSters, long
orem en-, warehousemen and
other affiliated unions, both CIO
and AFL, have voted complete
moral and financial support to the
department store strikers.
WAREHOUSES; TIED UP
The serious labor situation was
further complicated by the tieup
in the warehouse industry which
still was stalemated over 8 "hot
cargo issue, with 121 warehouses
closed, 5000 warehouse employees
idle and cargo shipments stag
mated.
The department store strike
stole the show on the labor front.
however, as members Of the C1O
Warehousenlen;s Union and the
CIO longshoremen, stood by to see
what would happen next.
There were no peace meetings
scheduled between the diStribu-
tors and the union leaders.
julius Marx, president of the
Grocery Distributors Association,
denied a food shortage was threat
ened in northern California as a
result Of the warehouse tie-up.
STRIKERS MAP PLAN
Strikers In the department-store
tie-up were to meet at 2 o'clock
today to determine steps in their
fight to close the IS stores which
have kept their doors open despite
picket lines.
Pickets resumed their places in
front of the establishments early
today in an effort to prevent union
maintenance men and cuStod1anS
from entering.
Only one serious disturbance
marred the first day Of the strike.
Last night Fred Paulsen, rooming
house operator, reported that
''goon squads" had thrown pieces
of cement through two windows
in his place. He believed the van
dalism was provoked by the fact a
roomer was a non-striking janitor
in q store.
Iayoff Of employees in other
businesses as result Of the depart
ment store strikes appeared i'm

line probably the first to be af-
fected because Of reduced traffic
