Iteames and 1. u c I n d a Kennies, who were Jackson county pioneers of 1853. They reared at Jacksonville n family of six daugh ters and four sons, eight of whom still survive. After his graduation at the. Jacksonville high school, Clarence Heames attended the Uni versity of Oregon, after which he embarked In. the mercantile .busi ness nt Gold Mill, with his brother. William T. Iteames, now residing In San Francisco. following an experience of three yenrs In the mercantile business he studied law at Jacksonville, and was admitted to the bar there, and practiced for some four years with a brother, after which he entered n law part nership with William M. Colvig in Medford. It was during the exist ence of that partnership and nt the beginning of the Woodrow Wil son administration thut he was ap- ii,..i fnlip.1 States district at torney for Oregon and took up hii residence at Portland. He occu pied that office at the time when the O. & C. land grant case ami the O. & C. land fraud cases were tried and much of his time during that period was required In this work. At the conclusion of these cases in Portland he was sent by the department to Snn Francisco to try with the United States dis trict nttorney the Cook land fraud cases which took the better part of that yenr. It was following this experience that he received a spec ial commission from the nltorney fanornl to take charge of the Hi C.ill conspiracy enses In Seattle the trial of which created much In terest, not only in Scuttle but over the entire coast. At the conclu sion of this work he hecame the special counsel, out of the ntlor-ney-Oeneral's office In the han dling of the alien troubles during the war In Scnttle. In this work the government put nt his com mand n very largo force of as sistants and this work was remov ed from the United States district attorney's office In Seattle ,to this department created for that pur pose.

ARDEN BALK NO TIDINGS OF ITALIA; Radio Ears of World Wait for Call Rescue Plans Start Siberia Broadcast Explained Heard By Coast Stations Heart of Italy Aches. (By tho Associated Press) The fate of the dirigible Italia, missing on her return flight to King's Hay, Bpltzbergen, from tho North l'ole, continued to be a mystery today. California radio stations picked up a message thought to be from the Fnr- Eastern university at Vladivostok, Siberia, saying tho Italia had met with disaster and was asking help. The message suggested the possibility that the Vladivostok Btatlon hod been in touch with the Italia. Ice held the Italta'g base ship. Cltut di ililano. at Amsterdam Island, north of Spltzuergen, when it tried to penetrate Into the north. ' Lieutenant I.ttetsov Holm, Nor-' wegian flier, hopped for Tromsoo on the first lap of a searching flight. WASHINGTON, May 28 (IP) The United States naval trans port Chaumont, stationed near Tientsin, China, reported to the navy . department today through Admiral Mark U Uristol that alio had picked up the following mes sage at 10:40 p. m. last night. "C. Q. UeAsrao 3 QTC dirigible Qeneral Nobile Is In distress, ask ing for help (stop he is supplied with a short wave 80.33 .meter radio stop)". The message picked up by the Chaumont nnpeured definitely to settlo any mystery connected with th similar message prcked- t.p In California sines It 'obviously; dlrf ' not eomo from the Italia, hut was simply a message sent otic to notify other stations of tho plight of tho dirigible. Navy department communica tion officers Interpreted the In troductory letters of the mes sage to show that It had been re broadcasst from the Vladivostok radio station, the call letters of which are AHKAO-3. The interpretation of the first part of the message, as worked out at the navy department. Is as follows "To all ships, from Vladivostok station. I have something to trnnsmlt." "CQ" and "QTC" are Inter national accepted radio abbrevia tions and the "DK" was Inter preted us meaning "from." KINO'8 BAY, Spitsbergen, May 28. (An Ice which might hnve caused the collapse of the dirigible Italia today blocked the first at tempt to search for the missing nirshlp. The Cltta dl Mllano, base ship of (ieneral Umberto Noblle's polar expedition, sailed from King's Hny. to make a preliminary survey of rescue conditions. At 9 p. m., last night the ves sel reported by wireless that sho was off Amsterdam Island off the northern coast of Spitsbergen. A strong wind was blowing, against the coast, A grim silence fell over the lit tle group of Itallunsa left behind nt the hangar. It wus exactly 60 hourss since the dirigible had been In touch with headquarters. One of the hypothesis discussed concerning the fute of the Italia, was that Ice and snow forming on the airship might have wrecked It. It was recalled that the di rigible Norge, In which General Nubile flew over the North pole two years ago, was on the poln. of collapsing at one time under such a burden. The weather continued ex- tremely cold and there was a blt iter wind with fogs over the moun tains to the north.' I The .view prevailed generally today that the search for the miss ing airship should first be under taken at northeastland. It was pointed out that the last message from the Italia came at 8 a. m. Greenwich time (4 a. m. eastern standard time) on Friday nnd It reported the airship on an east ern course and the belief of her navigators was that she had been about 1 f5 miles north ot Morfen Island at a e'clock that morning. Morfen Island Is about CO miles nonh of Northeastland. In the region there are several winter houses where the crew ot the Italia might find shelter ln case of a landing. Several hunters l:ing there have already seen the Italia In flight and would he Instsantly on the lookout for her. HOME. Mny 28.
