JACK SHARKEY AND MICKEY
WALKER GO FIFTEEN TORRID
ROUNDS TO A DRAW DECISION
EBBETS FIELD, N. Y., July 22.—
Jack Sharkey and Mickey Walker
Battled fifteen .torrid rounds to a
draw decision here tonight. Sharkey,
using his size and -skill to advantage,
appeared to have won in seven
rounds, Walker taking three, with
five even. Sharkey, the better boxer,
took little punishment, and left the
ring unharmed, while Walker was
covered with blood.
The draw decision was doubtless
influenced by Sharkey’s unintentional
low blows, none of which, however,
the New York law penalizes.

WASHINGTON, June 29.—About j
; two year sago there was a vacancy in
the office of United States district at- !
torney at Nome. Julius >H. Hart T?e
< ceived the appointment and confirma
tion, having previously been assistant
U. S. district attorney at Juneau for
. a short time, when he resigned. Since
he has been located ; t Nome many
complaint were filed with the De
partment of Justice, and recently it
was announced that Mr. Hart had re
signed, effective July 31. A successor
has not yet been selected. Assistant
Attorney General C. P. Sisson, in
charge of administrative work, left
for the western coast a few days ago
on official business. Later he will
make a trip to Alaska and while
, there will consider two or three
names that have been suggested for
. appointment to the post soon to be
vacated in the Second division.
.Arrangements are making by
Harry M. Gillman for the Interior
Department’s exhibit at the Amer

Jyly- T6 to August 26. Exhibits and
literature are coming from Alaska,
a while- a., number of framed photo
graphic scenes of the North and a
carved* wooden eagle have been se
cured from the office of the Delegate.
Six of the. federal bureaus will be
represented in the exhibits.
In line, with a recent policy by
President Hoover, the Forest Service
has ordered temporary restriction of
jvles of timber from the natonil *ci
i es:s, as a means of releving the seri
«• ous...depression new confronting the
U
lumber industry, except where the
value is less than $500. Exceptions
are made to supply the needs of al
ready existing sawmills which are de
pendent upon the national forests tor
their raw material, and also to fur
nish domestic paper mills with raw
material .needed to supply the do
mestic market with newsprint and
other wood pulp products. An . in
quiry from Petersburg as to just
what this oorder means has brought
forth a letter to the Delegate from
the Acting Secretary of Agriculture,
which contains the following infor
mation:
“In issuing this order the Depart
ment had in mind the desirability of
developing a pulp and paper industry
in Alaska as well as elsewhere in. the
United States as a possible means of
increasing employment. Sales to fur
nish ra wmaterial to paper mills in
the United States, including Alaska,
may therefore be made as hereto
fore. It should also be noted that
the order does not in any way re
strict the making of sales to individ
uals or industries which need only
small quantities of timber, such as
canneries or other industries n
Alaska whch need small quantities, of
piling or other forest products.”

secretary, sends a petition asking
that bi nvxuivv airmail service be

Aniakchak’s
Hot Crater
FATHER HUBBARD TELLS OF
HIS SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
TO PENETRATE REGION.
(Special Correspondence.)
McGRATfi, July 20.—Father Hub
bard, foremost authority on active
volcanoes, and Bed Richardson, notd
football star, arrived here today, en
route to Hply. Cross. from where they
will proceed .to Seattle. They have
been exploring and scientifically ex
perimenting in the Aniakdhak crater,
the largest active crater in the world.
This constitutes the first successful
attempt to penetrate this crater.
“Splphur clouds and other gases
bothered us a great deal,” according
to the report of Father Hubbard. “At
one time we were nearly suffocated.
The way we tested for extreme heat
was to scrape the surface with our
heels and spit; if it sizzled, then we
wede on fairly good ground for tests.
The heat tester, which was said to
register far more than we might find,
broke at the first testing.
“Our first attempt to film the vol
cano from the air nearly cost us our
lives. The cution from the crater
was so strong that we barely made
our way out again. We tried a num
ber of times, and only succeeded on
our Inal attempt a few days before
leaving.
tempt a few days before leaving.
“One of the most amazing things
that happened was the challenge to
our place that a brown bear made.
He rose on his hind legs ready to do
battle, so we swooped down and
skimmed just over him. In a few
moments we had him so bewidered
that he did not know which way to
run. We saw twenty-seven brown
bears in one group. There seems to
be an abundance of these brutes this
year.
“We are on our way to Holy Cross,
where 1 shall develop the films we
have taken, and,” he added with a
smile, “catch up with my Christmas
mail.”

NATION’S AERIAL IDOL AND

NEW YORK, July 24.—There is
only one more major step to be
taken in preparation for next week’s
take-off on the Lindbergh vacation
flight to the Orient, and that is to be
taken by Mrs. Lindbergh. The big
low monoplane rides at anchor at
North Beach; its flight capabilities
with the floats which have replaced
its wheels fully tested; its compass
swing and its navigation instruments
checked, and its radio installed. But
still the powerful radio must prove
beyond.all doubt that it can reach out
from the vast wild places and whis
per to a waiting world that all is well

to leave early tomorrow on an at
tempt to beat the time of an aero
nautical hare around the world. The
tortoise is the Red Arlane of Clyde
Pangborn and Hugh Jernon, who
dodged death this morning when the
plane failed to rise with its heavy I
load of fuel. The Pangborn and Jer
non plane is far slower than that j
bown by Post and Gatty, but Pang- j
bora and Jernon expect to win thej
race, and for the same reason that i
the tortoise beat the hare in the fable i
The Winnie Mae is a one-man plane,!
its second occupant being entirely a i
navigator. For this reason time.lias'
to be taken out for sleep, and so al- j
most as much time was spent on, the 1
ground as in the air during the world
flight. The Pangborn plane has .dual
controls, and when PaDgborn wants
to sleep Jernon can pilot, and nice
versa. Like the tortoise of the fable,
they expect to keep plugging away,
and so eventually beat the time of
their fleeter opponent. ,
