Aviator Lost In The Wilds Of
The Yukon, Relates Story Like
A Chapter Of Dramatic Fiction
Clarence O. Prest Wat Forced
To Land Among Great
Herd of Caribou.
WIND WRECKED HIS SHIP
Without Compass Wandered
Around Until Searching
Party Found Him.
I
DAWSON, Y. T., July 22. Like
a chapter from dramatic fiction
reads the story of the experience
of Clarence O. Prest, tho aviator,
while attempting a flight across Yu
kon Territory and Alaska; lie flew
with his moving picture camera a- -."
Love a great herd of caribou and
wag forced to land in their midst,
lie slaughtered one of them to keep
.from starving. The herd is part
of the great body of caribou which
annually trek across the region near
Dawson, and Eagle. Prest had
flown by a roundabout way from
tian Bernardo, Calif., to the far
north.
Prest V own gtory of his experi
ence is told in the following dis
patch from Eagle to the Dawson
Daily News:
"Three minutes out of Eagle,
my engine buckled. I looked for a
landing place, and picked what look
ed liko a level spot. It wajj Nig
gerhead Flat at the head of Deer
creek, eight miles south of Seventy
Mile river. I fixed the engine and
noticed a couple of caribou. I set
ui) my movie camera so as to get
them. More of them were, coming
so I began to see about taking off. .
Turning, I noticed five or six humid
red caribou all around the airship
. and camera, and rushed back ex
pecting to find the camera ruined,
but no damage was done. I got
ready to take off but the ship went
upon her, nose in the soft going and
broke the propeller.
"I had been debating about kill
ing on of .the caribou but the tie
bate ended when the propeller broke
so I killed one with my 32 pistol and
butchered him with a pocket kknife.
1 was 'overhouling the motor when
a puff of wind finished the job by
turning the ship over on her back
and 'breaking the radiator.
"So I deserted the Blip,, slripp
'. ed off the instruments, and mng-
, neto anl started back down the riv
er. 1 got down with one load and
''saw I was. not going to make it
with the grub I had, so I cached
everything and went back to the
ship and slept in its tail Sunday
night. I had left my compass in a
cache at the mouth of Harney creek
so I started out without it. I was
further out than I thought. I did
xnot pick lip the trail and made a lot
of unnecessary circles, climbing for
observation. It was raining steadi
ly but I had equipped myself with
a small can of gasoline for starting
fires.
"My shoes and feet vro EU'iiig
out and I was afraid to lie down to
sleep. Finally on Wednesday I
struck the traill at Ninerod liar
and shortly after a search party
hove into sight.'

Germany Formally
Accepts Allies' Demands
PARIS, July 22. (By The As
sociated Press.) Germany has
formally accepted the demands of
the Allied committee on guarantees
which were presented at Berlin last
Tuesday. In a letter to the repara
tions commission received today
Chancellor Wirth stated that Ger
many after profound deliberation
had decided to accept the conditions
for the duration of the moratorium
which the German government as
sumed would soon be granted.
The conditions, the letter points
out, place a heavy load upon the
German Government and their ac
ceptance is only agreed to by the
governmen and the parliament on
the -theory that the forthcoming de
cision on the reparations questions
will constitute a definite settlement
of the chief financial questions
which have been the subject of nego
tiations between the committee on
guarantees and the German Government

(Special to the Gazette)
MOUNT HOLLY, July 22. That
"bootlegging" as a profession seems
to be flourishing in the Riverbend dis
trict, is the opinion of E. R. Thompson,
jdiief of Police here. The whiskey trad
ers seem to take advantage of the fact
that theTwo policemen at Mount Holly
have to cover this district and Mount

employed on the Southern Power Com
pany 's dam at Mountain Island with tho
costly spirits.
It is the opinion of the Chief of police
here that many bootleggers ply their
trade with small Fords. One such trader
was arrested Saturday night on such a
mission. Within the past five weeks six
bootleggers have been arrested by the
local police. It is very easy for the
traders to escape the local police, duo
to the different roads that they can take
leading to the Mountain Island site.
The local police docket hns been heavy
with gamblers, eleven negroej having
been tried for this offence at the magis
trate's court recently. All .were boumi

who was sent to jail, being unable to
give bond, . ,

Samuel Gompers Asks Government To Urge Striking Coal
Miners And Shopmen To Couple Negotiations With "Big
Four" Representatives Eight Roads Issue Cancellation
Orders For Branch Lines Troops On Duty In Eight States.
CHICAGO, July 22. (By The As
sociated Press.) As the railroad
strike today entered its fourth week,
negotiations tok a new turn and ex
pectancy turned to Washington, where
chairman Hooper, of the Railroad Labor
Board, was called for a conference with
President Harding, and t tho efforts of
six leading railroads to make separate
peace with their striking shopmen. A
conference between W. L. McMenimen,
of the Railroad Labor Board, and Se-.
I cretnry of Labor Davis at Moose
j Heart, Ills., also was regarded as a
possible producer or a peaeeiui ges
ture. Reports from half a dozen cities that
approximately . 18,000 clerks and other
railway employes hail voted to walk out
and new indications that Canada was
facing a shopmen's striko added to the
war talk, however, as did President
G rnble's statement that any railroad
that refused to meet with committees Of
maintenance of way men to adjust
wage difference would face a strike of
these workers.
- A new note iu the deinaud of the
strikers. was made evident by the state
men of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American (Federation of Labor, in
viting the Government to urge strik
ing colli miners and shopmen and their
resiKM'tlvo employers to begin idrect
negotiations coupled with the action of
representatives of the 4,Big Four''
railroad brotherhoods in urging Con
gress to facilitate a return to the direct
parley system f settling disputes.
Meanwhile eight railroads issued can
cellation orders for branch line trains,
swelling the number of annulments to
well over 300. v
State troops continued on guard in
eight states, while additional guards
were placed on duty in varius cities.
.The most notable instance was in
Fremont, Neb., where more than a
hundred of the city's business and pro
fessional men were deputized as eace
officers anil as their first offical act es
corted back into town eleven non-union
emplycs of the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway, who were said to have
beeu driven out of town by strike
tynipathizcrs.
Court action was limited to issuance
of injunctions , to the Missouri Pacific
nnd St. Luis-San Fraiicisco railroads at
Kansas City, filing of petitions for in
junction at Atlanta, by tho Seaboard
Airline and Western and Atlantie rail
roads, and filing of a suit by six labor
leaders" at' Kansas' City,- Ka8., - ques
tioning tho right of the Kansas court'
of industrial relations to assume juri
diction over the shopmen's strike.
The plaintiffs in tho suit claimed that
the strike is interstate iu character and
not subject to state law .
At Oklahoma City, one hundred
roundhouse workers walked out yester
day. Strike ballots were sent to 250 clerks,
freight handlers, express and station
employes of the hicogo, Milwaukee k
St. l'aul Railroad, on the Tacoma,
Washington branch..
Striko ballots at Chattanooga, had
not been finished by representatives of
the clerks.
A close vote of 12,000 clerks ' and
other employes of the Baltimore and
Ohio was indicated at Baltimore.
Approximately 730 employes of the
Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee,
at Chicago, awaited the strike order
of the surface and elevated line work
ers before arbitrating wage differences.
- While officials of tho maintenance of
way men at Detroit discussed the ques
tion of punishing members of their
union who had struck without sanction,
maintenance men f the Pennsylvania
between I'ortage and Altooua, Pa.,
walked out in protest against a wage
cut .
Governor Stephens, of California, said
that farmers and fruit growers were
unduly fearful of the ability of rail
roads to move fruit and other crops,
and declared that the roads had re
ported to him they could handle more
freight than was offered. .
Sheridan, Wyo., reported that its
first attempted violence was when a
group of women striker sympathizers
broke through the guards upon arrival
of a passenger train. They were dis
in-rsed with water from a hose.
A shop worker in Claremonv Okla.,
was 'seized and beaten by eleven men,
then taken in au automobilo to Tulsa,
and thrown out on a street. A parade
and demonstration were staged by
strikers and . sympathizers in Hunting
ton, W. Ya.
The air hosts of fifteen freight cars
on the Boston and Maine at Everett,
Mass., were reported to have been cut.
