American Consul Sends In Report of Deliberate Sinking
STONE NAMED
 CHIEF JUSTICE
Succeeds Chas E. Hughes 1; Jackson, Byrnes Named
 to Supreme Court

Washington, June 12. - (UP) - President Roosevelt today nominated associate supreme court justice Har- Ian Fiske Stone, a Republican, to be the 18th chief justice of the United States succeeding Charles Evans Hughes who retires July 1.
 He also nominated attorney gener- al Robert H. Jackson and Sen. James Francis Byrnes, D., s. O., as associ- ate justices of the supreme court.
 Stone, who became an associate justice on March 2, 1925, is 68 years old. He was appointed by President Coolidge.
 Byrnes, administration strategist In the Senate, succeeds Justice James Clark McReynolds, who retired in February. Jackson was nominated to fill the vacancy caused by Stones promotion.
 The senate confirmed Byrnes' nomination a few minutes after 1t was submitted to the chamber.
 The nominations were sent to the Senate where confirmation was ex- pected to be little more than a for mality.
 Stones elevation to the chief jus ticeship marked the second time in history that an associate justice on the supreme court has been elevat- ed directly to the higher post.
 MT. Roosevelt sent the Senate no nomination for Jackson's successor as attorney general, but it was gea- orally believed that Solicitor Gen. eral Francis Riddle would be named to this key administrative position.
 In sending the nominations to the Senate, MT. Roosevelt became the first president since George Washington to have nominated seven justices to the nine-man court.

First Official Word as to Fate of Vessel Sunk in
 South Atlantic VESSEL WAS OUTSIDE ..
 ALL COMBAT ZONES No COntraband Cargo Aboard, Ships Manifest g Reveals

Washington, June 12. --< (UP) - First reports from the United States Consul Walter J. Linthlcum, who questioned survivors of the American freighter Robin Moor, said today that the ship undoubtedly was sunk by a German submarine. The commander of the sub- marine was fully aware that she was an American ship, Linthicum's report said.
 Linthicum's report, made public by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, was the first official word received on the incident.
 Survivors We'll M
 The report said that all survivors" were in good health and that full and further details would be for- warded to the state department as soon as they could be coded. There were Il survivors.
 The sketchy first message said that "the ship was undoubtedly sunk" by a German submarine at 6 o'clock Greenwich time on the morrl- ing of May 2i at 6:i0 north latitude and 25.40 west longitude. The com- mander of the submarine, 1t added was fully aware that the vessel was American.
 Bound For Capetown
 Welles declined to amplify ths cablegrarn but emphasized that the Robin Moor had been bound for Capetown and other destinations outside the combat zones prescribed by the president under the neutral- ity act.
 He emphasized that there was n0 ammunition, explosives, or military equipment on board.
 The manifest showed, he said, that there was nothing which could be construed as violating the neus trality acts provisions forbidding American ships to carry military material.
 Many Items Tn Cargo
 The cargo, Welles added, consisted of hundreds of items ranging from rails to women's brassieres and hos- iery. It included such items as chenl- icals and radio sets and parts.
 Asked whether the other 35 meme bers of the crew and passengers were lost, Welles said there was no evidence of any of the other life boats being afloat.
 Asked what the United States would do, Welles said he wished to receive every possible detail avail- able before deciding or the course to be pursued. (.
 The text of Linthicum's prelimins ary report paraphrased by the de@ partment said:
 "The Robin Moor undoubtedly sunk by q German submarine st c Greenwich time on the morning of May q at latitude 6.10 north, longt. tude 25.40 west. The commander of the submarine was fully aware that the vessel was American. All sur- vivors in good health. Dispositions of survivors have been taken and complete summary will be teie- as soon as coded"

Grumblings of protest in local Republican ranks over the city court Ideal" which gave the Democrats the lions share of patronage continued today as specula- tion increased concerning the mysterious protest" meeting which a group of COP members has ar- ranged for tomorrow night at The Elton.

 London, June 12. = (UP) -- Adolf Hitler has massed troops along the Russian bor- der from the Baltic to the Black Sea and is in position to strike at any time, accord ing to reports reaching Lon- don today. Weight given to the reports by responsible London quarters, which in the past have dismissed similar re- ports as of no significance.
 But only the Germans knew what such a concentration of from 30 to 100 divisions of troops - between 100000 and 100000 nen-really meant.
 Build Up Divisions
 According to reports here, Ger man armored divisions used in the JugoSlav- Greek campaign had been withdrawn, refitted in Austria and Bohemia and sent to Eastern Po- land; infantry divisions had been drawn from France and Germany, concentrated in East Prussia and Central Poland, and three army corps, comprised of from 90000 to 180,000 men, had arrived in Ru- mania to reinforce the Bessarabian frontier.

BLACKLIST IN
 INDUSTRY LOOMS
Subversive Leaders of Wildcat" Strikes Now
 Under Govt Fire

Washington, June 12-(UP)-The government plans to ask industry to blacklist" subversive workers who lead wildcat" strikes in defense plants, a high administration official said today.
 The plan to deny employment to subversive persons probably will be delayed until the army's occupation of the North American Aviation company plant at Inglewood, Calf, can be studied.
 The official said the plan repre- sentS no challenge to the working mans right of collective bargaining, and no challenge to labor unions. He said 1t was directed against "agitators" who have obtained lead- ership of unions and then fomented industrial strife.
 The "blacklist" would be the sec- ond major step in the governments broad program to keep defense pro- duction going. The selectiye service draft boards are reclassifying all de- fense strikers who have been de- ferred because of their work in an essential industry.
 Administration officials hoped, however, that the drastic action taken in the North American strike would be sufficient example to re- duce the number of outlaw" strikes. Government leaders have denounced the leaders of the recent wave of defense industry strikes as "disloyal men,"
 President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organizations sent letters to all his unions today urging them to make known to Congress and government officials organized labor's opposition to the events of the last week and to re- strictions on labor contanied in bills pending iil Congress.
 He denounced those bills, as well as the proposal to cancel defernent of strikers and the use of the army in the North American Aviation company dispute as steps toward enforced labor" and attempts "tc (Continued on Page D

Drunk Deckhand Blew Steamer to Bits When
He Searched Ships Cargo With Lighted Candle

The confluence Of the Missouri
and Marias rivers near Fort Ben
ton Is historic and bloody ground
and has seen some Of the tragedies
Of our Indian history during the
past century. Later II was the site
selected by some Of our pioneers
and captains Of industry. where
II was hoped to found a city,
metropolis, the head Of navigation
on the longest water course in the
world. by men who had no sus-
Picion that railroad would super
eede its commerce.
The general course of the Missouri
at this point Is northeast. but between
there and Fort Benton it makes sew
eral big bends, and describes the three
sides of a square to the southeast.
below which the Marias. its largest
tributary on the north except the Milk
river, comes in from the west The
Teton river, also flowing from the west,
approaches big bend in the Missouri
and cuts across the neck of the valley
surrounded by the Missouri and enters
the Marias mile or so above its
mouth.
American Fur Co.
In 1880, the American Fur Co, whose
outpost among the Indians was Fort
Union at the mouth of the Yellow
stone. determined to enter the Black
feet country and contend with the
Hudson's Bay Co, for the trade of this
region.
In September, 1881. James Kipp was
sent with keel boat loaded with goods
and a force of about rs men to the
mouth OF the Marias river, where he
built Fort Piegan, named for tribe
of Indians of the Blackfeet confedera-
ton. This post was found to be I'M
favorably located, the surrounding
bluffs making 1t particularly vulner-
able to attack from the Indians, most
of whom in that section were hostile
to the whites. and the next year 1t
was abandoned and Fort Mckenzie was
built six miles further up the Marias,
and about five miles below the Cracon
Dunes, which is in sight OF Fort Ben
ton. where the Teton so closely APP
proaches the Missouri.

III 1870
Fort Mckenzie had more of excite
ment and incident about 1t than any
of the older trading posts. The thrill
ing incidents with which the annals
of Fort Mckenzie abounded in these
early wears would fill a volume.
Here Macmillan, Prince of Weld,
enioying a season of adventure IN
America, spent the summer OF 1883 as
a guest of the American Fur co. He
was a scion of small house from
Coblenz in Rhenish Prussia, with an
early bent for natural history and a
love of the worlds frontiers. He had
heard of the victory of Waterloo while
in the interior of Brazil. He was at
the battles of Chalons and jena and
the songs of the ASsinnibolneS at Fort
Mckenzie at the siege OF that post
hereafter noted recalled to him the
songs of the Russian soldiers on those
fields nearly 20 years previous. He
kept a journal of his experiences which
he published on his return home and
it was profusely illustrated with pic
lures by Rodmar, an artist VINO &C
companied him.
Sees Indian Fight
Aug. %. 1888, small band OF
Blackfeet camped near the fort were
attacked by large force of Assinnl-
BONES and many of them were Killed.
At first it was thought that both
tribes had attacked the fort and the
prince armed himself and is said to
have made one good Indian before the
mistake was discovered. The Blackfeet
received reinforcements and the AS
sinniboines retired across the Marias
to the bluffs near the Missouri, where
the fight continued with varying sue
oess until night. One of the realistic
nictures of Rodmar in the published
