The transfer of the reserves to the Interior Department was saying "good-by" to the oil so far as the navy was concerned, Rear-Admiral Robert S. Griffin, formerly chief of the Bureau of Engineering, under whose direction the reserves had been, told the committee.

He said he had discussed the matter several times with. Secretary Denby and had insisted that the reserves were as much a part of the naval establishment as the navy yards and could not be considered a part of the public lands over which the Interior Department had administrative control. Admiral Griffin said he advised Secretary Denby that it had always been the experience of the Navy Department in trying to preserve the oil in the reserves that.the Interior Department was opposed to such a policy. Latimer Not Consulted. Rear-Admiral Latimer, judge-advocate-general of the navy, testified he had not been consulted concerning the transfer, Having ascertained, from Admiral Latimer that he was not a lawyer, Senator Walsh questioned him closely concerning the Jegal qualifications of all naval officers and employes in his office.

Admiral Latimer had explained to the icommittee an opinion prepared in his office advising the Secretary of the Navy of his authority to exchange crude oil for fuel oil in storage and to use certain Government appropriations for the erection of tanks for the storage of fuel oil for the navy. Walsh Again Attacks Contract. Referring1 to the testimony recently given by former Secretary Fall, in which he stated that he had not advertised for bids before awarding the" leasing contract at Teapot Dome because he did not consider that he was required to do so under the law, Sena- Washington, Oct. 26. Secretary Edwin Denby of the Navy waa recalled by the Senate Public Lands Committee today for further examination in -connection with the Teapot Dome oil reserve leale to the Sinclair oil interests.

Other witnesses before the committee were naval officers summoned to give their views on the soundness of the policy of transferring the administration of the three naval reserves to the Interior Department. Protests By Sfaval Officer. Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, read into the record several letters written by Capt. John Halligan, who recently was connected with the engineering experiment station at the Annapolis Naval Academy. These letters, addressed to the Secretary, of the Navy, presented the opposition of Captain Halligan to the leasing of the reserves.

When Secretary Denby replied by reading a letter he had addressed to the officer setting forth the position of his department. Senator Walsh insisted that the letter had been prepared at the Interior Department fpr Mr. Denby's signature. The Secretary said he could not in-, form the committee who had written his handwriting more shaky. On March 9 he records, pathetically "The tips of all the fingers on both my hands have nearly lost their sense of touchv My craving is for'meat.

My eyes are starting to water a little, especially when I try tox read or write." Two days later "I positively cannot swallow either hard bread or blubber." Again Knight Improves. Only the next day Ada had good luck with the traps and Knight writes "It never rains but it pours. The woman caught three foxes today two males and a female, all fairly fat. I ate quite a bit and drank a lot of soup and feel a little better." That week meat was plentiful. It Is evident from his diary that his' spirits went up and down, in exact rathto the amount of food he was able to get and eat.

He notes this himself on March 21 "The woman got a fat female fox today. Am not getting much stronger, although my spirits have picked up wonderfully since the foxes are being caught." The Last Notation. Knight died on June 22. But his last entry was dated March 23, three months before the end. During the two weeks before this last notation, Ada had caught no less than seven foxes, and Knight shows a feeble flicker of optimism: "Caught myself whistling this morning.

Not that I don't wan to whistle, God knows. However, this is in spirit only, fpr I am as weak as a cat. Just drank a quart of fox soup. Wish we could get a bear. This fox meat does not lie easy on my stomach." The very last sentenceof the diary is ironie "The woman tells me that the color is coming back into my lips, which were quite bloodless," There, Knight's faithful record breaks off the record begun in such high spirits aboard the Silver Wave, two and a half years before, when the Arctic was still a land of romantic promise to the boys.

Other Men Die Easier. All indications point to the conclusion thirt the three others CrawTford, Maurer and Galle had perished long before, perhaps in that very blizzard which Knight and Ada watched so fearfully on the day following, their departure.

"I do not feel that I ought to make any statement in advance of the full and complete testimony which I shall give under oath on the witness stand," said Mr. Forbes' statement. "However, at the insistent urging of my friends and in response to inquiries from the.

President Thorn-well Jacobs, of Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Ga still has hopes of bringing the remains of Georgia's founder to this country, he said today on his return from England on the steamship Maure-tania. "Because of the situation which developed in England, he explained, "I considered it advisable to withdraw my petition for permission to exhume the remains of Lord and Lady Oglethorpe. I hope, however, that it can be done at a later date." "Nobody in the world knew where General Oglethorpe's body was until I went to England and found it," he said.

hy the N. T. World. Manchester Guardian Fears Failure Of Plan London, Oct. 28 (Special Cable).

The Manchester Guardian, in- comment on the proposed expert commission to examine Germany's capacity to pay reparations, will say editorially tomorrow "It is authoritatively reported that II. Poincartf will accept Mr. Baldwin's, invitation. That, so far as it goes, is good But it is already becoming painfully obvious that the terms of the invitation were vague and that acceptance of them may menn one thing to another thing to Mr. Baldwin, and yet something else to the American Government.

"From Mr. Baldwin's speech Thursday it is impossible to discover whether he intended to have a great Conference of the powers or subcommittee of the Reparation Commission. If the conference is to be of committee of experts in reality subordinated to the Reparation Commission, nobody in this country will have the (slightest use for it. Even America's participation would not give it a semblance of utility. "It is essential that the conference, however it is described, should be in substance and in reality a conference of the powers.

There must be no, absolute bar on the discussion of political issues. The necessity for discussing them will be apparent to America the moment that the conference opens. Nor mu9t the representatives at the conference be nominated by the Reparation Commission or be more than nominally responsible to it. "If these conditions are not fulfilled one can hardly see what useful thing the conference could do. If concessions must be made to the formal scruples of M.

Poincare, the concessions themselves hould be formal. ICopyrlght, by the N. T. World. America's Decision' Lightens Europe's Burden London, Oct.

20. America's decision to lend her advice and cooperation in a conference for the settlement of the German reparation muddle seems to have lightened Europe out of the slough of depression. Secretary Hughes' prompt and decisive response to Marquis Curzon's plea for American assistance has given impetus to a situation which has heretofore been marked by utter inertia, and for the first time today British officials began to see rift in the mists which have so long enveloped the problem. Other Power In Agreement, America's voice, stressing the imperative need of finding ft suitable financial plan to prevent economic disaster in Europe, found prompt echoes in Paris, Brussels and Rome, for it beeame known lute this afternoon at the British Foreign Office that France, Belgium and Italy had all accepted the principle of im advisory conference of experts. "While the British authorities would have preferred full conference of Ministers to liquidate the reparation troubles, they hope the preliminary conference of experts will lead to a larger council of Allied and American statesmen.

France's consent to enter the advisory conference of experts will involve the question of acceptance of the American principle that the Interallied debts and German reparations must be divorced a point upon which Premier Poincare" heretofore has differed from Great Britain and the United States. Qnrtlonn 11 fore I'olncare. France also will have to face the question of reducing the amount of indemnity expected from Germany under the Versailles treaty, which in the past has been fixed at 0,000,000.000, or 1.12,000,000,000 gold marks. This sum and the question of granting a moratorium to Germany were the points which led to the failure of the last expert winners commission, ci which .1. P.

Morgan was a member. If, as the British Government anticipates, M. Poincare agrees to these and other conditions, it then will remain only for the nations participating in the conference to appoint their experts and formulate a program of procedure. British officials seem to fuvor Berlin us the principal seat of the conference, as this would make Germany's books nd records and the German officials themselves more accessible to the experts who are to appraise Germany's assets and her capacity to redeem her Indemnity obligations. Escaped Philadelphia Pen In July, Taken In NeivYork Jamen Hrown, One Of Six Who llruke Jnll, Shooting; Two Gnardi.

New York, 'Oct. 20 (Special). James Brown, who says he has been trying to "go straight" since he escaped with five other prisoners from the Eastern Penitentiary In Philadelphia last July, was recaptured today In Brooklyn. While he was reading a newspaper in his bedroom In a furnished rooming house in this city detectives walked in. Police say he confessed bis identity and told in writing how he escaped from the prison, wandered about Dela- ri nr.ni...i i i i and automobiles as he needed them, and came to New York six weeks ago After the escape he said he saw nothing more of his five companions.

Brown was serving a 20-year sentence for robbery when he made his escape. With five other prisoners, he overcame the guards on July 7 the fight two guards were shot and others badly beaten. He will be held for extradition papers from Philadelphia. HELD FOR KLAN KILLING ntUbarah Undertaker Identified A Man AVho Fired Fatal Shot. Pittsburgh, Oct.

(Continued from Page 1.) ton about the time it was being received htn-e. was nearly two weeks ago. Secretary Hughes also informally notified the French Government of the substance of his reply to Lord Curzon's proposal. France Ileaponded Promptly. Without delay the French responded to the British in a formal communication, expressing a willingness to have, an economic survey made of Germany through the Reparation Commission.

At the same time the French advised Washington informally of what had been cent to the British. The French note, it is intimated here, probably will be made public in London within 24 or 48 hours. Meanwhile, it is explained, the French Government stands firmly upon the Treaty of Versailles in the policy the Poincare' Ministry has adapted regarding the reparation inquiry. The annex to this treaty, it is stated, provides that the Reparation Commission is the body through which all reparation questions must be cleared. If readjustments are to be made and inquiries to be carried on in order to find a basis for readjustments, the existing commission is empowered to conduct them.

Left To Reparation Body, It is the view of the French Government, therefore, that the commission should set up the machinery- for an Investigation of Germany's economic resources and Germany's capacity to meet her reparations obligations. No other body would have the same authority behind it, the French hold. Also it is pointed out that the German Government very recently invoked the same section of the Versailles treaty when it appealed to the Itepa-' rations Commission to initiate without delay a survey of Germany's financial In view of all this, there is nothing left to the British and American governments to do but to accept the French counter-proposal, or to withdraw "from 'the situation. The latter course is not considered hcrtand it is understood that it is not being considered in London. The British, who have official representation on the Reparation Commission, will go along, it is statejj.

The United States, without such representation, also will go along. IIuKhea Left Door Open. Secretary Hughes, in his note to Great Britain, left the door open to American participation in' an inquiry under the auspices of the Reparation Commission when he said: "In further reply to the communication of his Majesty's Government it may be said that the Government of the United States is not in a position to appoint a member of the Reparation Commission, inasmuch as such an appointment cannot be made without the consent of the Congress. The Secretary of State has no doubt, however, that competent American citizens would be willing to participate in an economic inquiry for the purposes stated 'through an advisory body appointed by the Reparation Commission to make recommendations in case that course, after further consideration, should be deemed preferable." Conference May Follow. After the commission's inquiry fs completed and a financial plan is submitted for the consideration of the governments concerned, it may be pos- i sible and practicable to call a general economic conference of the Allied powers and America to go even deeper into the business of stabilizing Europe.

That, however, is a matter of the more distant future, it is admitted in official quarters here. Meantime, this Government expects at an early date to receive an invitation from the Reparation Commission to appoint one or two and possibly three American members of the board of investigation. President Coolidge will designate these men, with the advice of the State Department, and upon the approval of the nominations the Americans will proceed Jo Europe to take part in the work ahead of them. It was emphasized today that the commission of inquiry, now virtually agreed upon by all interests, is only an advisory body. German Acceptance Expected.

Also it was made plain that as this Government sees the matter this move could not have been made until the Germans abandoned their passive resistance of the French occupation of the Ruhr. That resistance having come to an end, so far as officially influenced from Berlin, the French have been induced to assent to an inquiry through a body which it is presumed largely to control. French domination of the Reparation Commission is not looked upon here, however, as being a decisive factor in the business-ahead of that body. That domination will not prevent the commission of inquiry from arriving at an independent conclusion regarding Germany, it is believed. So far as Germany is concerned, it is regarded as reasonably certain that Berlin will accept as final any recommendation which the commission may make.

Foreign Policy Body Congratulates Hughes New York, Oct. 20. Congratulating Secretary Hughes upon his proposal that the United States participate with Allied nations in a reparations conference, the executive committee of the Foreign Policy Association sent a message to the Secretary of State today saying there could be no doubt that the establishment of sound economic conditions In Europe would make our people much more williftg to consider a generous re-v adjustment of Interallied indebtedness The council of the Foreign Polity Association, whioli numbers among its members Thomas" W. Lamont, of J. P.

Morgan Co. Gov. Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, and Dean Roscoe Pound, of the Harvard Law School, was instrumental In bringing Lord Robert Cecil to this country last Spring to address the American public on the work of the League of Nations. New York, Oct. 26.

Ada Blackjack, brought up in the mission in Nome, had learned to read and write, to sew and cook. To shoot, 'to trap, to carry "on the battle with the naked elements of these she was almost as Ignorant as the white women of Nome. In those days, while Lorne Knight lay in hia sleeping bag, death through scurvy slowly creeping toward him, the Eskimo girl passed through- a brief period of despair which Knight records in his diary. Then her Eskimo heritage rose up in her. She assumed, one by one, the tasks which the white- men had dropped took up the challenge where they had laid it down.

Every instinct in her surged to the battle with the relentless forces which already had destroyed her companions. Woman Takes Up Dntlei. Knight describes how, as he grows weaker, she takes the chores, one ny one, from hinj. She chops the wood, cuts the ice a-hd melts it for water, she pushes through the storms, visits the traps and brings home the foxes. Ultimately she learns to handle that murderous invention of the white man, of which she has always been afraid: Knight's rifle.

Though still able to keep his record of their life, Knight is powerless to do much else. On February 7 he notes: "Ada took a short walk to a few of the traps, but no luck. She and I (mostly she) cut a little wood today. And while bo doing (hell!) fainted and was out a few seconds. The woman, I am did not realize then that I was really sick.

And when I came to, she was scared stiff. I got into my bag and am all O. excepting1 a very slight fever, which I now have. "The woman is a great deal more frightened over my condition than I am. I don't deny that it is a rath'er mean position in which she finds herself, but she is -wonderfully cheerful and is now busy sharpening the wood saws.

She" insists on doing practically everything, and I willingly permit it." Temperature Reports Cense. At this time the temperature reports in Knight's diary cease. In speaking of them he says "The woman cannot read the thermometer, and I do not wish to get out of my sleeping bag, so the readings will be discontinued for a time." Still Knight did not suspect the full seriousness of his situation. He expected, even then, that the break in his record would be only a question of days. More and more he pins all his hopes upon the arrival of a bear.

Far from being appalled by the appearance of inquisitive animals, as in the days of. their stay on the island, Knight asks nothing of life but that a bear shall walk right into camp. "I can seei(that I cannot go far away from camp, and unless a bear walks into camp I see smajl chifnce of getting one, for the woman cannot be trusted with my rifle. She is easily excited and knows nothing about a gun, and this is the only rifle that we have. Come on, bear!" Hankers For Fresh Meat.

Then, again, this entry on February 13: "The went to the traps. No luck. My face is quite white and my lips bloodless. I am as hungry as a wolf, but is all I can do to force down a few mouthfuls. If anyone hankered for anything, I hanker for fresh rata meat, and plenty of it." During these late February days Ada also began to show the first symptoms or what was probably scurvy.

Her condition fluctuates from day to day. Some days she is unable to venture far from the camp. With the coming of scurvy her spirits sink, and for a little while she is at the point of 'giving up. On February 17 Knight writes "The woman says that she is not going to the traps any more, and intimates Mny meat or A rather happy prospect for me She says that she is ready to give Joy Over Caught Fox. At this point in the story it would seem that there are to be no survivors that the little flicker of human life on Wrangel Island is to be extinguished and nothing left but a winter waste of ic- and But after a short period Ada's condition improves.

Whenever she gets a fox their joy is unbounded. "The woman got a fat female fox," Knight writes, "in one of her traps. A that she does not cate whether we get good feed for the two of us and the eat. I feel fairly well today, especially after getting a full stomach of underdone meat." Steadily Knight grows weaker and CUBA TO PAY $4,800,000 Instalment October 29 Will Cut Interior Debt To $21,000,000. Havana, Oct.

$5,000 FOR KISS OVERRULED JVew York Court Holds Woman's Charm Carried Away Jury. New York, Oct. 2G. Setting aside a verdict of $5,000 for a stolen kiss awarded by a Brooklyn jury last Tuesday to Mrs. Alice Mercer against Loui3 Goodman, Supreme Court Justice May today said the testimony of Mrs.

Mercer and her husband was unworthy of belief and that the jury had been influenced by the woman's youth and attractiveness. A motion for a new trial was granted. less torturingly than- to their poor companion left behind. I do not think it likely -thatthey That gale which came upon them out of the clear January day on which they headed south must have "set the ice floes in motion. Leads must have opened up in the pack.

The weather was bitterly cold, the days short and dark. The dogs and men, no doubt, were weakened both from short rations and the prolonged tussle with the gale. I can see them battling on, still filled with determination not to stop not to turn back. I see them chopping their way through pressure ridges, lifting their sled over the snowdrifts, finding themselves at last on a level stretch of snow-covered ice, only to discover that, without warning, it is bending beneath their weight. Perhaps they realized too late that, blinded by the blizzard, they had stumbled out on to the thin snow-overed ice of a nearly frozen-over lead, only to go plunging to swift death in the icy water.

Their Records Lost. As an explorer, I know that what Crawford and his two comrades would most' regret about their lonely death was thfe loss to posterity of their records. Crawford especially had devoted most of his time on Wrangel Island to mapping and charting coast lines and making a geological survey ofUhis little explored land. It is highly improbable that any of their diaries wrill ever be found. Except for the wife of Maurer, a bride of a few days when her husband sailed for the North, who still clings to the faith that he will return, there is probably no one who really believes that the little expedition will ever be heard from again.

Crawford, Knight, Maurer, Galle. They are fresh names on the honor roll of exploration. They have paid the price that men have paid down all the ages, that new waste lands shall be claimed for civilization. So ends the story of the boys of Wrangel Island. That which remains still to be told is the story of Ada the story of a woman Robinson Crusoe, brave, patient, facing death alone on Wrangel one lone woman and her cat exiled in the frozen North.
