Nome, m.&s'ka.- Returned from more than three years imprisonment In the lee packs of the north, the Amundsen schooner :Maud Is in port. here, with the six men of Its ere-. detalling strange stories of their ad ventures. The :Maud ventured unsucceasful· ly illto the Arctic regions, hoping to reach the north pole by drtftlns wltb the tee. Cross currents carried the vessel northwest Instead of north thwarting the aim of the expedition. But although the pole was not reached, Captain 0. Westing and hia meD have none the less an interesting story of their adventures. which they related to the United Press for the first time. With Captain Westing of the~ Maud were chief officer Carl Hansen, chief· euglneer and radio operator M. Olon· kit. uaistant engineer A. Malmret, as· sistant engineer S. Syversten, aviator 0. Dahl and Dr. Harold Sverdrup scientist of the party. Assistant Engineer Syversten died July 28, 1923, from complications of diseases brought on by polar hard· ships. The body was wrapped In a .Norwegian ftag, covered with canva111 and after funeral services were read by. Captain Weatlng. the remaina lowered illto the water througb a four foot hole ill the lee. "It was a severe atraln on all the Maud's crew to see our shipmate go into Davy Jones's locker, especially with our only means of transport&· Uon locked tn the ice and the prob ablllty we would never get out." The only Eskimo aboard the vessel deserted in the winter of 1923, t.a.kdlg with him a gun and a shovel. Land j was fOO miles distant, and the native helloded in the wrong direction. Days h\ter he wandered back to the Maud, nearly frozen. The Eskimo was warned not to leave again under penalty of being placed in irons, but hardly needed tlM admanition. He w:as later landed at his Iiome, East Cape, Siber· Ia. The Maui, In its northwest drift, passed around the Jeanette islands, 300 miles from the Herald Islands, thence toward the Bennett islands, where Captain Westing received or· ders to return to the United States. 1 This order came iD. 1923, but due, to the huge icebergs which gripped the ship, no progress could be made. At one thllle ·the veBSel wu almost capsized, the captain and crew taklnl to the lee after loading the dog 81eds with food and supplies and hitching the teams of fifteen Siberian dogs, awaiting the Maud's loss. "But we did not have to abanllon the ship after all," Captain Westing said. "The vessel was raised twenty feet out of the water by the ice pressure and had she not been solidly built would have been kindling wood in ten minutes. After being tossed about for two hours; the craft was released and settled back tn the water on an even keeL" In 192f the Maud, stlll held a ,.estward drift, worked her way across to the Siberian shore and passed the Kolyma river, thence drifted toward the north cape of the Chutkotsk peninsllla, Sl berla. Release from the fee came August '1 last, the Maud sa1llng for Nome August 21. The little ship was Ia radio communcatlon with Spitzbergen every winter from January to March and heard a number of United States broadcutlng stations. A newspaper was published aboard ship, helping to break the terrible monotony.

Andrews has appointed his twenty-four prohibition administrators and sent them out to dry up the nation. The new officers were supplied with a plan of attack upon the bootleg trade almost military in its thoroughness. Here is what Andrews Intends to do to enforce prohibition under the new organization scheme as outlined in his Instructions to his new chiefs' The government will seek treaties and negotiations with foreign gov· ernments to make smuggling more difrtcult. The coast guard will "form the first line on our sea fronts" and take the responsibility for preventing opera· tlons along the shore. Distilleries and breweries which are found to be sources of bootleg trade "wlll be proceeded against as nuisances and closed." Close co-operation with the justice department will be maintained under legal guidance toward arrest and punIshment of major violatol"s and specIal attention will be directed to clear· lng court dockets. A campaign of education will be unllertaken to prove to all citizens that that bootleg liquor Is injurious to health and detrimental to public wel· fare, in an effort to cut down the li· quor market. The reorganization personnel, An· drews announced, contains names of only seven new regional directors who did not hold some important post In the old regime. All the rest previously held state directorships or were divisional chiefs under Commissioner Haynes. Eight of the new administrators were state directors, five were divl· sional chiefs, three were acting l!tate directors and , one was chief of general prohibition agents. Seven were appointed with tem· porary rank only and may be changed later.

The decreases due to the new law included a drop from $6,· 000,000 In July, 1924, to $1,500,000 In 1uly, 1925, on amusement tickets, aDji there were also reductions in receipts from various other forms of sales and consumption taxes. There were con· slderable gains from tobacco and cor· poratlon taxation, The total collec· tlon of Income tax from corporations and Individuals during July was $34,· 953,218. In July last year it was $19,· 264,137. Coolidge Approves Belgian Pact Northhampton, Mass.-The terms of the Belgian debt settlement )lave met the full approval of President Coolidge. The papers, presented the president by htM personal stenograph· er, who met him on his arrival here from Plymouth, Vt., were signed at once and were taken back to Swamp. scott, from wnere they will be sent to Washington. The president's signing of the agreement leaves the next step in the debt funding arrangements, so far as the United States is concerned, up to congress, which will be ask· ed to ratify the settlement when It convenes in December.

Salt Lake City.-Qt 600,000 acres of public lands which will be surveyed In Utah before the close of the summer season, approximately 250,000 acres of industrial lands wiU be made ready for the quicker development of coal, oil, shale, potash and grazing, according to G. D. Kirkpatrick, district cadastral engineer in charge tor Utah and Nevada, operating under the surveying service of the general land office with headquarters In Salt Lake. By segregation and definite determination, these lands will be available immediately for many Ol)erations already proposed and on toot. There are four crews now in the field In Nevada and nine in Utah. In this state parties are surveying coal lands near Helper In Carbon county, oil lands Ia San Juan, shale lands in Grand county, potash lands along the western border near Wendover and grazing lands In various localities. The total that will probably be surv~yed tor the year In both states wlll be 760,000 acres. The general conditions of the survey Is better than It has been for sev· eral years, Mr. Kirkpatrick said. The department Is only 750,000 acres behind the demand tar surveys, whereas four years ago it was more ·Ulan 2,000,000 acres behind. Another benefit that Is being de· rived from present catching up with the work is an increase in state rev· enue, following the designation of four sections of school land in each township surveyed, permitting the state to dls~se of and trade In these lands for development purposes. Taylor Quits Official Position Washington.-Dr. Henry C. Taylor, chief of the bureau of agricultural economics of the agricultural depart· ment, has resigned at the request of Secretary Jardine. Thomas P. Coop. er, dean of the agricultural college of the University of Kentucky, has been chosen to succeed him. Dr. Taylor quit the department, where he haR served since 1919, only after Secretary Jardine, with whose poll· cles he does not agree, had requested him to do so. Some time ago the secretary Indicated that a resignation would be acceptable, but Dr. Taylor deellned to follow the hint. Instead he consulted a lawyer as to the legal right of a secretary, who had been in the department but a comparatively short time, to force him out of office. The controversy came to a climax when Secretary Jardine, from a sick bed at Walter Reed hospital, sent word that the resignation must be submitted at once. The change about completes Mr. Jardine's reorganlzatloa of the department, although a few minor officials, particularly in the bureau of agricultural economics still are expected to go. fiRST AID TO BEAUTY I ===:-:-===· I ! l Belgian Debt Commission Salls New York.-Members of the Bel· glan debt commission have sailed for Europe 011 the Majestic, en route to Brussels.
