(Coprrltht, 1028, FublUbtri Syndicate) From Tomahawk, to St. Louis, and possibly even farther by canoe is the trip being undertaken by Oscar Stonberg and Earle Duus, 20-year-old Tomahawk youths who spent last night in this city.

The boys are working along the route to pay their way, and may spend a day or two here replenishing their larder. Left Home Monday Stonberg, who claims to be a champion walker, and Duus left the Hatchet City at 8 o'clock Monday morning. They hadn't gone more than a few miles down the Wisconsin river before they punctured their canoe. The hols was patched up, however, and they made Merrill by nightfall, camping in the Riverside park. Tuesday night they camped at Mosinee, and last night was spent just above the tourists' park here.

A month or more will be required to reach their destination, the boys plan. If they feel inclined, they may even continue down the Mississippi river to the gulf. They will try to trade in their boat for an old second hand car of some kind to make the trip back, rather than buck the swift current of the Father of Waters and Wisconsin river.

Body Laid in State While the Russians were to min ister to the needs of the living men, they did not forget the dead.

While all stood at salute the body was carried aboard the vessel and laid state. It was a moving scene and many of the hardened men participating in it were not ashamed to show thejr tear-stained faces. Captains Zappi and Mariano, given up for dead many weeks ago, were taken below where they were bathed, given food and fresh clothes, Russian Party Stranded While the Italia'a walking party was rescued, the Russian Airman Chukhnovsky and four others in his plane, who first reported 6ighting the missing men Wednesday, him self was stranded on Northeast Land.

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, July 12, (JT) The five men of the Italia crew who are marooned at the scene of the disaster weak with fever and partially insane, have re established radio communications with the base ship Citta di Milano.

Grave fears for them had pre vailed when communications ceased on July 6 because of the weakness the men and the soft condition of the ice. Return of normal mag' netic conditions, however, enabled them to again establish contact with the base ship. Search for Roald Amundsen and his five missing companions was continuing today. The French cruiser Strasbourg left Kings Bay search to the west of Spitzber gen for this party. READ TRIBUNE WANT ADS.

"It's as good as any system and, after all, even the wrong jury does mean much; so many more things enter into a trial luck, cir cumstance, weather, what the attor neys had for breakfast, whether a cough takes place when the most critical word of testimony is given, and so on. The fire-eating, thunder-shouting Darrow of Dayton, days seemed almost gone. Darrow was iiiellow, genial, thoughtful, almost sad in these haunts of his boyhood Slumped down in his chair, his straggling whisps of long hair over his face, he slept as the prosecutor tossed bouquets to "the greatest man of law of recent times." "I'm through, though, I think," Darrow smiles. "Anyway, the world's a little more liberal, reli giously speaking, than it was when the Scopes evolution trial was on.

Jefferson, O. A little more stoop-! ed, a little more tired, a little more sure of the futility of life and its complete lack of meaning, but surer than ever that the human strong must protect the human weak, Clarence Darrow, 71, "Grand Old Man of the came home to fight his last case the other day. But even as he says it's "the last job," he adds that he doesn't really know whether it is or not.

He has been a lawyer for a half century. "Who of us ever knows what we will do in the future?" Darrow said. "I hope it's my last. I am tired. I want to rest a little, write, travel, study, shake the hands of old friends, do all the things the law has given me little time for this half century.

But I suppose if" Clarence Darrow smiled over that "if." It epitomized his very philosophy which says that we are all what the "ifs" of our lives make us. "If," Clarence Darrow has said again and again, and said to his old friends down home the other day, "if I had bought a house in Ashtabula I would have stayed there, never gone to Chicago, never got a city Job, never got my name in the city papers, never got into big cases." And then he smiled wearily. "I suppose if something gets me all stirred up again I'll get on the Job," he said. "But as far as freedom of choice goes right now, I hope not." Wants to Quit, Says Wife "He's really sincere every time he says it's hi3 last case, even if he does get back into action," Mrs. Darrow explained, as if fearing Clarence might have seemed to sing his swan song too often.

"He really thought Loeb and Leopold were the last, and he was sure Dayton was. But he's been sure so often and then found himself in it again that this time, when he thinks he's really through, he hesitates to say so. "I certainly hope it. He needs complete rest and freedom, though I'm afraid he's the sort who'll never take it." Mrs. Darrow laughingly quotes a newspaper description of herself as "Mr.

Darrow's new young wife," and explains they have been married 24 years. She "calculates to go with me on all my trips," according to the great attorney's whimsical explanation of her presence. "She has to see that I get my bottle on time and have my bib on and have my bootees dry," winked Darrow with a sly glance at his wife. Mrs. Darrow has the same warmth of humanity as her husband.

She has spent all the time possible back in her husband's home county, meeting his boyhood friends and relatives, lnnkinor the old landmarks, and scouting through antique shops for nieces of old furniture made by Amiris Darrow, her husband's father, a cabinet maker. In the verv hotel in Kinsman, Darrow's birthplace, where Mr. and Mrs. Darrow had dinner the other night, they ate about a cherry taoie marlA liw Darrow's father. Darrow came here to defend James Munsene, the gum-chewing little bootlegger facing a term in the pen on a bribery charge, whose trial wouldn't have brought a visitor to the court room or a line in the paper If Clarence Darrow hadn't entered the case.

Darrow won a mistrial, which was regarded as a virtual victory. But as "Clarence Darrow's last trial," the little Jefferson courtroom contained Just about the whole county, to say nothing of fellow members of the bar, reporters, photographers, all caught by the drama here. There BO Years Ago More than 60 years ago young Clarence Darrow had a case in this same courthouse. It was about a $15 harness that somebody wouldn't pay for. The $15 harness case was tried twice in the Justice of peace court, three times in the common pleas court, twice in the court of appeals, and once in the supreme court.

Darrow won the case. He chuckled over this talo with old cronies of the swimming hole and old friends of his "free-thinker" father. "Old Charlie Fobes" sat next to Darrow through one entire day of the trial, "Old Charlie," aged 84, was a close friend of Darrow's father. He drove alone 34 miles to see "Old Man Darrow's boy." Darrow seemed almost pathetic in his greeting to those who "knew him when." His eyea misted as he said there was nobody left but Just friends and acquaintances. "I'm the last leaf on the tree brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, even my own pals are all gone," he said.

"Seems queer that it's a friend of my father's generation who's left to "just because I wanted to try one His Idea of Life Darrow seemed even a little weary of ideas and philosophizing. "The whole idea of living's so futile," he said. "What's the use of talking about it? Just to be happy and avoid pain as we go along from day to day is about all any of us can do. "Courtroom scenes and trials mean nothing but a preservation of our traditions, a continuation of the routine of our legends and folklore concerning the way things should be done. "There is no such word as Justice in our court procedures; merely a matter of smooth bookkeeping.

"The rich man in court? Everything goes to him, of course, unless he is too rich. After all, the masses are poor, and mass judgment or blind prejudice is pretty powerful. A too-rich man is about as handicapped as a too-poor man, for the jury are up against public opinion which Eays, 'Just show us if money can buy a man's way out of pris-on.
