Biddlg, p eminent in Philadelphia society and mother of three children is planning to spend six months in Central Alaska, a frozen wilderness near the Arctic Circle. Mrs. Biddle will make the long, hazardous journey alone except for a dog driver and is equipped with a camera and several guns, being proficient in the use of both. Her route, shown by dotted line on map above, will take her up the little known I Porcupine River to a desolate point where she will live with the native wife of Mike Cooney, a trapper. The Eskimo woman is the type to which Mrs. Cooney belongs. The amateur explorer denies that her j voluntary exile has any scientific significance, asserting vehemently that she only wants to be alone. Weil, if it’s only solitude she’s after, she s going to the right place; for it s the most abundant commodity in Alaska.

Edward M Biddle, y.mng Philadelphia society matron will endeavor to answer during the next six months. Mrs. Biddle plans to seek voluntarily the solitude that Selkirk did- , net apparently enjoy so much until I his man Friday came along, and : what's more, she is not picking out a nice, warm island with waving palms and birds of paradis flittmg ; ■hithe and yon for her self-imposed , exile. In fact she has chosen about ( the most uncomfortable spot one | can imagine as a site for her com-1 >.iunion with nature th ■ frozen ' wilderness of Cent:al Alaska.

The guard at the capitol was | a-ranged to care for all possible I emergencies. Twenty-five police- ' men were armed with hand grot;I odes and nine with tear ga- guns. Scores of banners were hoisted to the shoulders of the marcher-, or displayed from trucks. Among, .them were these slogans: "We demand unemployment insurance equal to full wages. "$l5O can relieve an unemployed worker." "Down with war preparations.” At the head of the marchers was the International Workers Club

craving for solitude, but up to the present has never been, able to get beyond camping in the Maine woods. Asked why she did not seek a more comfortable hermitage, she inlim ,ed that the South was not at all to her liking. She was bitten by a scorpion onse in Floidda anil the memo y lias never left her. Tall, slim and athletic looking the young wife is a frank individualist who says that she thinks in a maim r that leaves no doubt as ta her meaning. Unlike most modern women, Mi 3. Biddle doesn’t smoke, but has no objection to the habit. In fai t she used to smoke a pipe until p ople accused her of "playing to the gallery" and she stopped. Despite the apparently nonchalant manner in which she is undertaking t.he hazardous trip and stay of six months near the Artic Circle, Mrs. Biddle is not going into her novel venture blindfolded. She has con ferred with Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Harold McCracken, Artic explor rs and Dr. Gaston Bui'ke, medical missionaiy to Fort Yukon, who gave her valuable advice that will greatly assist her in her voluntary exile. Prepared for any eventuality, the xplorer in embyro will take along guns and a camel a, being a good shot with both, and will make the long journey alone except for a dog driver. Her ioute, as she has planned it, will take her from Montreal to Seattle, by b at to Seward, by t ain to Xiuana and by dog team to Fort Yukon and thence up the Porcupine River. She will live in the Arctic country with the native wife 0 Mike Cooney, a trapper.

CHICAGO GRAFT TRIALS START — Sanitary Board Members Face Charges of Great Graft Chicago, Dec. 7. — (U.R)— A van load of documentary evidence and : 1,100 witnesses were ready today ; for Chicago’s famous "whoopee" trial of nine present and former ■ sanitary district officials on graft I charges involving $5,000,000. A furniture-breaking party ini New York in 1928 first brought' notice to sanitary administrators ■ whose maze of affairs has been investigated by the unprecedented ; number of 13 grand juries. Political implications of the trial set for opening today are bej lieved most important in the hisi tory of the state. All factions of j both Democratic and Republican j .parties are involved. Witnesses come from every rank jof society. Congressmen, precinct j workers, gangsters, society and business leaders are included in I the parade which may take two months to pass before Chief Jusi tice Fisher of criminal court and i two, advisory jurists. Jury trial has been waved by the defendI ants. Os the sanitary officials originally concerned, one committed suicide, one fled the country, sev-, eral have died. i The defendants are headed lily! , Timothy J. Crowe, former presi-i I dent of the board. Two present i j trustees are among the nine. The graft accusations center i about alleged pay-roll padding and ; | construction of various sanitary i district projects.

LESLIE STILL FIRM AGAINST EXTRA SESSION (CONTINUED FftnM'PAOv OVE) 1 consideration to the farmers’ demands, then pointed to a pile of petitions for an extra session, bearing 40.000 names, and passed it of! with th? statement that nybody will sign a petition.” From sources close to Leslie it was learned that he is opposed to the deliberate agitation' o f farm ers by self-styled agri< till ural | leaders. Such practices are in| Jipposition to constructive govern ment, Leslie beb'eved. He hinted at this in pointing out ' tnat tlie present demands for an extra session, which first were heard immediately after the close df the regular session last spring, appeared to be just a general clamor in which there is no suggestion of constructive criticism. "It would be senseless to convene the legisla ure unless there was assurance that the taxation system would be revised to meet the demands.’ Leslie said, ".hits tar no such program has beet advanced. The situation now is no worse than ‘t was before t'.e last regular session. After the legis la tors had mulled over it for six weeks they still had no satisfactory solution to off' r What more <<>uld be done in a special sessl< n ?” The governor i Irmly believes that the poll of party leade-s -rd state legislator, which is be.ng. taken by state party headquarters | on the extra s-ssion question will I ■how a general sentiment of opposition to the sf.ss,'a.
