(AP) Protests against a resur vey of the northern boundary of the Hoopa Indian reservation tn Humboldt county were voiced here today at a hearing conducted by Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur. Argument during the hearing centered upon a strip of "no man's land," six miles long, at the north ern boundary of the reservation which is included in the domain of the Indians under a 1925 sur. vey made by the government. The hearing resulted from an appeal of John Gist, of Weitchpee, Hum boldt county, owner of mining claims in the "no man's land. who contended that the new sur vey did not Jibe with previous surveys of the Klamath river country. Under the new survey, Gist" claimed, a portion of his holdings are Included In the res ervation, thus making his land federal property. Indiana and sportsmen, inp- portlng Gist's contention, ex pressed the fear that If federal Jurisdiction should be established over the land, power sites could be bought, dams built and other projects developed with a result ant spoliation ot the Indian's fishing grounds. Gist was represented by Charles L. Glfmore, of Sacramento, a for ma-' fish and game commission attorney.

One suggestion was that the amount which the United States sacrificed in Paris on what la due it for the occupation in the Rhineland might be handed over to the Brit ish. However, that sum already has entered into the general dis tribution to be made and amounts to only $1,000,000 a year or about one fifth of one per cent of the total annuities. The small balance of repara tions left over in the Toung plan after the big slices were appor tioned to the principal powers and which was reserved for the small er creditors has also met with scrutiny by those seeking a solu tion.

JameS Empringham AC- iM , , . i D cused of Illegal Prac- tice of Medicine NEW YORK, Aug. 14. (AP) - The Dally News In a copyright ed story tomorrow will quote Dr. S. Dana Hubbard, chief of the city health department's legal bureau, as stating that grave charges have been filed against Rev. James Em pringham, national secretary of the church temperance society. The charges were placed before tlshop William T. Manning and other officials of the New York diocese Dr. Hubbard says. Basis for the charges. Involv ing the practice of medicine with out authority and supported by complaints of young women par ishoners, was laid upon official records of the health department. Activities of the now defunct health educational society, of which Dr. Empringham was na tional superintendent, also were concerned In the report made to the diocese executives. The Dally News says Bishop Manning's office referred the charges to Chancellor George Za briskie. Empringham Is now in Reno, Nev., he achieved national prom inence a few years ago by his ultra-dry tenets at a New York anti-saloon league superintendent. His health education Institute was under investigation by the city health department from its beginning. A few months ago it was summarily closed.

T WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. (AP) President Haover's failure to grant an audience recently to opponents of Sunday Blue Laws was assailed today by Henry Flury, president of the national association opposed to blue laws, in a letter to the chief executive. Pointing out that members of the Lord's day alliance urging Sabbath restructlons had been re ceived at the White House, Mr. Flury said in his letter that "the unhappy impression now current so far as I can discover, la that you are afraid to antagonize the ological politicians like Bishop Cannon, Cannon Chase and the Rev. Dr. Harry Bowlby." He asserted the explanation of George AJterson, secretary to the president, given to newspapermen, "not to our representatives," of the failure to grant the audience bears the marks of "a modified form of the ridiculous White House spokesman we fervently hoped had disappeared." "Too long, Mr. President," the letter concluded, "has this Can non groul dictated to American citizens petty personally restrict ed regulations." SAEE OF BITTERS TESTED IN COURTS PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 14.

It was said that Gottschalk's case would be appealed to the state courts. CONDEMNED III NOTE to fire resistant construction, ; the way of industrial develop contemplated along the South passenger station, it was indi-! bill which set up certain fireldaT O0:84 p. m. e. s. t. wed- restrictions, designating the '. . .. - zones according to the use of the zone plan embodied in the planning and zoning ordinance. Boundaries Changed Back But Ordinance Remains Boundaries of the downtown "fire zone" were later returned to their original positions, but the ordinance remains on the books, requiring construction applicable to the downtown district In all isolated business zones. Persons interested in establish ing a factory tone In the vicinity of South 13th street, contend, that since industries and warehouses built there will not be crowded to gether as are downtown buildings, the fire resistance requirements should not be bo stringent. However, as an argument for placing the district in zone four instead of zone three, this conten tion does not hold water, for the ordinance under discussion placed use zones three and four in the same fire zone with identical reg ulations governing construction of buildings. Possibility was seen Wednesday that changes in the fire restric tions for business zones outlde the downtown district, would be embodied in an amendment to the building code to be introduced at an early council meeting.

Hitchcock, former night policeman of the village. Hitchcock, whose name was men tioned by the girl several times before she 'died, came Into the hands of the authorities as the result of burglary charges against him and Hisson. A coroner's Jury held Miss Knaak's death a suicide, but Chief Spaid said several new clews leading strongly to the murder theory have fallen into his hands. The girl was burned last au tumn in the furnace In the base ment f-the Lake Bluff police station. She mumbled on her death bed that It was self-immolation. In the subsequent Investiga tion it was disclosed that she had written many letters to Hitchcock professing her love for him.

The great dirigible rose rapid ly despite its heavy cargo start ing only four minutes after sched ule time. After cruising over Friedriohs hafen the Graf turned northeast toward Berlin. The morning was almost wind less and the clear sky greatly fac ilitated getting the airship out t her hangar through the west en try. Territory Ahead la Largely Unmapped A perilous flight of M00 to 7,000 miles faced the big dirig ible to the land of the rising cue, much of which lay over territory unmapped and unexplored. With 20 passengers and a crew of 40 aboard. Dr. Hugo Eckener. veteran of four crossings of the Atlantic ocean, entered upon hia longest and most perilous voyage. The commander of the glob cir cling Graf estimated the flight would take 120 hours under t he most favorable circumstances. The Graf's greatest test previous was 111 hours on her first trans-Atlantic voyage. The Zeppelin will be in Tokyo barring accidents, on Monday night at the very earliest, after crossing European Russia, over some of the wildest territory e j- isting on the earth, the steppes of Siberia. First Part of Trip Lays to Northeast Dr. Eckener'a immediate course lay northeast of Fried rlchsraf en to Berlin, Danzig and Moscow. Everything in the latter part of the course will bepend on the weather the Zeppelin encounters. Lady Grace Drummond Hay of London was the first passenger to enter the gondola. No attempt to get aboard was made by any stowaways on thh? departure. Dr. Eckener said. Even the runway along the top of the hangar was strictly guarded. The only difficulty experience was- with Nelson Morris of Chica go, who had bought a ticket around the world from the Hamburg-American Tourists Agency, but had been forbidden to go on board by the Zeppelin company.
