His notes may tell how disaster overtook the balloon where in the three were trying to fly across the pole. Then came a terrible march across churning icefields in bitter Arctic cold. Three they were for a time Andree, Nils Striadberg and Knut Frankel and then something happened to Frankel. Perhaps exhaustion overtook him. Per haps he fell through a hole in the Ice into the green waters which swallowed him. It needs no diary to tell that Andree and Strtndberg struggled , on. dragging with them their j heavy equipment which they dar ed sot rieerL for it meant life and possibly rescue. They fin- j ally came ta Ay nice island, wnere they died. ' . j Andree a notes may tell when they arrived at White island and may reveal how long they were able to cling to life after their ar rival. They may not have been there long, because no proper camp had been prepared. They may have been too exhausted and numbed. Experts already have decided that Strlndberg died first and that Andree performed the last burial rites for his comrade. Cer tainly the diary will not mention Andree's death, but experts have already decided how he died. Along in that desolate waste of ice, exhausted by exertion during the long march to White island, and bitten to the bone by life-de stroying: winds wntcn bowled down from the mountains of ice, h finally braced himself In the only sheltered niche he could find and prepared to die. Beside him was an oil stove with which he still continued to tight the cold, and beside him was his carbine to keep polar bears away from his well night helpless body. Ho wrapped two of his notebooks in a shirt and placed them next to the skin of his back. He then braced himself against the little hill, his body protecting his re cords. He died like a hero, as near a standing position as he could maintain, battling to the last against his certain fate. Gandhi Refuses To Make Peace BOMBAY, India, Sept. 4.

(AP) The specters of hunger and disease following the tropical hurricane confronted authorities here this afternoon and calls were issued for medcal supplies and food. The city Itself is still isolated from the rest of the republic and all estimates or casualties and ma terial damage over the country are mere guesswork, since the hurricane which struck the capi tal with such devastating f ory yes terday afternoon must hare wreaked similar if not heavier havoc in the interior.

(AP) Bill Easterwood, genial Dallas aviation booster who promoted the Paris Dallas flight, tonight was happier than most men would be when about to peel 125,000 off the bank roll as a sift.

He may pre sent the check to Coste and Bel lonte either in Dallas, New York or Paris, but ft probably will bo tn Paris If the Frenchmen return soon.

The examination for the cor poration commissioner's office was made by Henry Kiessenbeck, examiner, and transcript of this was also filed in circuit court here yesterday, as well as other records of the commissioner's of fice in. the case. Tho examiner's report says in part that the Overbeck and Cooke failure was due primarily to practice of management of Ov erbeck and Cooke trading against customers; that at time of the failure, customers had purchased on margin and had not ordered resale. The report states that orders were filled through Logan and Bryan. Claim Inquiry Greatly Biased la the appeal, Logan and Bryan allege that the examination of the commissioner's office was con fined to sources "notably hostile to the applicants and to transact ing parties and testimony taken in matters to which the applicants were not parties.' Tho Logan and Bryan concern, the appeal says, was given no opportunity to produce evidence or data to meet charges against them. A full Inquiry made by the committee 6t the New York stock exchange in regard to al leged Infractions of Logan and Bryan showed rules of the ex change had not been violated, the document says. Tha appeal al so denies that there was anything in the brokers' dealing with Ov erbeck and Cooke which put the applicants upon notice or inquiry.
