WASTES YIELD SELF-STYLED QUEEjfSBODY Irene Wolfskill, Heiress to , Million, May Have Been Murdered. RAN AWAY FROM NURSE Manner of Death. Is Puzzle; Under Delusion She Ruled World. By United Press SUISON, Cal., Sept. 20.—The sunbaked hills and gullied range lands of Solano county have surrendered the body of Irene Wolfskill, eccentric self-styled “empress of the world,” and an investigation, with murder a possibility, was under way today. The body of the 57-year-old spinster—heiress of a famous California family—was found Thursday night by Bernold Glashofl, 18, a rancher’s son, and the mystery of her strange disappearance July 14 was solved in part. The manner of her death, however, remained to puzzle authorities. For years the spinster was a character of northern California, partly because she was a member of an old family, the heiress to nearly $1,000,000, and partly because of her delusion that “this and all I see are a part of my kingdom.” Last Seen in July Wandering through the hills she loved, ever worried because of her possessions, which her distorted mind visioned as including all the earth, Miss Wolfskill was seen last on July 14. She was dressed that clay ! n ankle-length skirts and her long strides literally were eating up the distance as she hiked toward the sunset over the foothills. When found the body was clad in a pair of brown, men’s overalls. Her failure to return home caused anxiety and for days men rode through the valleys and over the hills, hunting the “Empress,” dead or alive. An inquest will be held here late today at which time an effort will be made to determine the cause pf death. This was not possible earlier because the body was badly decomposed, making examination difficult. Two theories are offered. One is that Miss Wolfskill became lost, fell from exhaustion and died. The other is that she was murdered. In the background, among the snarled threads of mystery, is an oldtime family feud, a strange tangle of brotherly hatred and sisterly affection. Brothers Unfriendly Matt and Ney, the brothers, were not friendly. They had not spoken to each other for years, and even with the disappearance of their sister, who loved these brother “subjects” of hers, could not agree. “She is dead,” Ney told Jack Thornton, sheriff of Solano county immediately after her disappearance. “She ran away from that nurse Matt hired for her and died of- > posure.” Just as insistent was Matt fiat “sister is alive.” She loved the l/Us and walked too far from home ana is lost. Let’s continue the hunt, please.” The creek where Miss Wolfskill was found is only a short distance from the Wolkskill home. Her feet were bare, which is considered unusual, and one foot was gone, but the water flowing through the creek and the presence of wolves in that region may have accounted for the mutilation. HOTEL GUESTS ROBBED Thieves Get More Than S3OO in Money, Travelers’ Checks. Two guests at the Claypool today reported thefts from fourth-floor rooms, in which money and travelers’ checks, totaling more than S3OO, were taken. Theodore Berg, Chicago, reported the loss of $72, and from the room of Mrs. Frank De Brouillet, St. Louis, $245 in checks and cash are alleged to have been taken.

She’s a perfectly good American, having been bom and raised in Columbus, Ga. It just happens that some years ago Miss Compton went to London to appear on the stage with the Dolly sisters in “The League of Notions.” After that show closed offers came so thick and fast she just forgot to come back to America, that’s all. She played on the stage there for several years and then spent five years starring in British films. A few months ago she came back to America to play. Now her permanent address is in Hollywood.

STATE REOPENS PANTAGESCASE Claims 'Surprise’ Evidence to Offer Rebuttal. B LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20.—Having gained permission to reopen its case by resort to a little used legal stratagem, known as “surprise,” the prosecution in the murder trial of Mrs. Lois Pantages, wife of the millionaire theater owner, continued to place medical experts on the stand today to refute last-minute defense testimony. Just before closing their case, defense attorneys placed physicians and nurses on the stand to testify that Juro Rokumoto, who, the state claims, was run down and killed by Mrs. Pantages’ automobile, really died from effects of an inexpertly administered ’anesthetic. The state previously had ended its case, but District Attorney Buron Fitts immediately demanded it be allowed to present evidence in rebuttal of the medical testimony, on the ground that the prosecution had been “surprised,” due to the fact that there had been no intimation that such line of argument would be followed by Mrs. Pantages’ attorneys.

SAVE TRIO JROM GAS Painters Trapped Beneath Mississippi Surface. By United Press KEOKUK, la., Sept. 20.—Heroic rescue Thursday saved from death by slow poison three men trapped far below the turbid waters of the Mississippi in an air-tight caisson, where they went to paint the lower gates of a dam across the river. Naphtha fumes from the paint suddenly arose and caused three of five painters to faint far below the surface, without a supply of air. The other two forced themselves out of the air and wrater tight chamber and rose to the surface, where they got aid for their companions. For three hours oxygen was pumped down to the three at the bottom of the river, with those at :he surface unable to tell whether their companions had perished. Finally the tiny gas-filled cubicle was pulled to the surface and several government employes risked their lives to rescue the unconscious men who lay in the bottom of the muck-floored caisson.

FROZEN NORTH GIVES SECRETS TOMMLAN Famed Explorer Is Back in Home Port, After T2th Arctic Voyage. SCHOOL FOR ESKIMOS Missionary Volunteers as Teacher; Science Aided by Journey. BY ALBERT MAINES I'nited Pres* Staff Correspondent NEWAGEN, Me., Sept. 20.—After three months of hazardous exploration beyond the Arctic's circle the schooner Bowdotn bore LieutenantCommander Donald B. MacMillan into port here Thursday. The Bowdoin’s return marked the end of MacMillan’s twelfth expedition to the polar regions in the interests of science. The explorer and his nine companions characterized their trip as successful from a scientific viewpoint. One of MacMillan’s major accomplishments in the far north was the founding of an Eskimo schoolhouse at Nain, which will serve to educate more than forty Eskimo children. Discussing this venture in polar pedagogy, MacMillan said: “We built the schoolhouse with the understanding that the English language would be taught. GermanMoravian missionaries there believe the Eskimo will be better protected from the white race if he can not speak their language.” Caught in Ice Pack “After we left Nain and headed northward, we encountered a huge ice pack off Lack's land. We penetrated the center of the pack,” MacMillan said, “and when the heavy fog lifted we found that the Bowdoin had been carried more than thirty miles south.” “We were carried close to the shore of Hall’s island on the ebb tide and the Bcwdoin was lifted completely out of the water and lay on her side wtih a badly damaged rudder. “We were whirled out by an eddy. We started the engine and for three hours tried to break through to open water, only 100 yards ahead.” The explorer said that a big iceberg missed the Bowdoin by inches as it emerged from the pack. He said the vessel was guided through a wide path made by the berg and passed with considerable ease through the rest of the Ice jam. Missionary Is Teacher Miss Katherine Hettasch, daughter of the Rev. Paul H. Hettasch, who has been a missionary t Nain for thirty-six years, was .osen as the first teacher at the Eskimo school, MacMillan said. “Next year we are going to take up an American college girl to serve as Miss Hettasch’s assistant,” the noted explorer stated. Leavin Nain the expedition went to its scientific station at head of Anetalak bay, where it stopped for several weeks to gather scientific date. Double walls and windows, as well as triple floors, guarded the party from the extreme cold of that region. MacMillan said he was able to keep in constant touch with the outside world with a modern radio set. The party enjoyed broadcasts from many of the high-powered stations of America and Europe during the long winter nights, the explorer said. IcemobtJe Is Used An Icemobile—a contrivance perfected for the recent expeditionproved valuable In traveling, the explorer stated. This innovation, many times faster than dog-sled traveling, aided members of the party in traversing more than 200 miles. MacMillan reported a huge Ice cap, which at one time was believed to have covered an area of 4,000,000 miles, as receding in size rapidly. He said the present area of the cap is approximately 700 square miles. Much of the scientific work was carried on among the Eskimo natives. Dr. Reginald Fernald of Harvard dental school, a member of the party, brought impressions taken of the Eskimos’ jaws, which he will use to determine the effects of the food of civilization upon the Eskimo race.
