Ir- win also was a writer. Cline and Ifwin had been close friends for years, but shortly be- fore the shooting at the former's farm home, they had quarreled. There was an exchange of bitter words and several blows were struck, alleged to have been the re- sult of continued drinking on the part of the two writers. The quarrel was carried on, and Cline shot his best friend the next morning. He attempted to save Irwin's life by a transfusion of. his own blood, but failed.

This was believed here to be variation of a similar story some time ago, Moscow, July 17.--Most eompre- hensive plans were under way to- pight for one last great attempt to rescue the six missing members of the Italia's crew if they are still alive, and the members of the Amundsen searching party, lost for 'more than a month, some- where of the Spitzbergen coast, The Soviet rescue commission in- structed the ice breaker Krassin to establish new bases from which aviators may hop off to search thoroughly every square mile of ice on the south, east and north- east shores of Northeast Land. One of these will be at King Carl Is- land, where it is believed possible Captain Amundsen may have been forced down. Another base will be established further north, if pos- sible, so that the sea northeast of Foyn Island may be thoroughly combed. It was pear Foyn Island tha{ six of the Italia's men, headed by General Umberto Nobile, were marooned, and it is thought pos- sible that the "balloon party" of six may have heen forced to the ice somewhere in that vicinity, Surprised by Italians Officials here were surprised at the reported decision of the Italian rescue chiefs to terminate further searches for the lost men. It was said definitely that notwitnstand- ing such a decision the Krassin and her companion ship, the Maligin, would not retire until the last hope had been exhausted. Stress was placed on the import- ance of the King Carl Island base, as it was considered most likely that if any stragglers escaped from either of the missing groups they would head for that point. Heayy Storm Met The Maligin today was 40 miles east of King Carl Island, but here progress was slow because of ex- tensive fice fields and a heavy storm that seriously impeded navi- gation. The Maligin is expected to skirt the southeastern shore of Spitzbergen and to land somewhere along that coast the aviator, Ba- bushkin, who will engage in recon- naissance flights. After further searches the Maligin will mgke a course for Archangel, keeping a sharp lookout for traces of the Amundsen party em route. The Krassin, now en route to Advent Bay for fuel and to estab- lish a flying base, will return -o Northeast Land as quickly as pos- gible. The aviator Chukhnovsky will fly in every direction from the base to be established there and perhaps other planes will be used in the searches.

In fact, it would seem to be the kind of exportating that Sir Henry Drayton specified in the manifesto which he issued at the time of the seizure. According to Major James H. Clark, counsel for the Carling Breweries, owners of one of the seized docks, the ex- porting is being done direct from the railway cars to the boats of the American rum.runners, and a few days' delay, during which the dock did no business, was occa- sioned by the obtaining of fresh stocks of heer apd . liquor from breweries and distilleries.
