REFUTES CLAIMS OF STARVATION ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 23.—Vilhjamur Stefansson, Tampa explorer today made public what he claims in the signed confession of Harold Noice, survivor of the ill-fated Wrangel Island expedition of 1921, disclosing according to Stefansson, the hoax Noice perpetrated in circulating the report that members of the expedition perished from starvation in the Arctic fields. Thirty-six pages of the diary of his dead companions, admittedly torn from the log book by Noice, according to Stefansson, testified that the explorers suffered no food shortage. Plans for the trip to Wrangel Island were made in Ann Arbor in June 1921, by Stefansson and Allen Crawford, a student in the Univ. of Toronto. The expedition, under the leadership of Crawford, set out for the Arctic waters and reached Wrangel Island safely. With the party, which included Noice, was an Eskimo woman, Ada Blackjack. When, in 1922, Stefansson attempted to finance a relief expedition for the island, and was unsuccessful, the efforts were abandoned. It was at this time, according to Noice's story, syndicated in the press, that his partners starved to death. Noice and Ada Blackjack were discovered in 1923 by a relief party. Noice's stories told of the terrible hardships of the expedition and their gradual starving. SHENANDOAH BATTLE WITH STIFF WINDS IN TEXAS (Continued From Page One) ADOARD THE U. S. S.

SHENANDOAH, via Fort Bliss, Texas, Oct. 23. The shaft houses of the copper mines of Bisbee, Ariz., were illuminated like a summer amusement park when the big dirigible Shenandoah unexpectedly found itself in a bowl of the Isle Mountains over the city at 12:34 a.m. Peaks of mountains seemed to tower around it on all sides except the single pass thru which it had entered the pocket in the Rockies. The moon had been a pale crescent and its feeble rays only faintly touched the 'bottoms of the mountain passes as the ship speeded at 50 miles an hour over the ranges of Arizona at an altitude of 6500 feet. Turning southward at Benson at 10:40 p.m. the Shenandoah had followed the railroad southeast toward the Mexican border at Osborn, a short spur to Bisbee, glistened under the moonlight and in a very few minutes at the speed which the ship was travelling, the railroad ended and mountains were on three sides. The bountiful lights of the mines, the sketchy outline of its two streets, Tombstone Canyon and Brewery Gulch, showed that the city was Bisbee. The nose of the ship was pointed upward until it was on a 6700-foot level. Another 175 pound tank of gasoline was dropped thru the silken bottom to lighten the load. The Shenandoah turned and was over Naco, at 12:50 a.m. Another turn with a broad swing over the Mexican border and it was again speeding eastward. Douglas, and its smelters were passed at 1:27 a.m. Arizona and the worst of the Rockies had been left behind when Rodeo, New Mexico, was reached at 2:20 a.m. The big ship had groaned and strained as it drove into the adder whirling over the peaks. The wind currents rushed thru the mountain passes like a mill race. Along the $80 feet of her glistening body, on either side of the nine-inch "cat walk," the big gull bag seemed ready to burst against the network of cord as the bellium expanded in the ramified attitude. In the navigating car Lieut. Commander Lansdowne, captain of the Shenandoah, Lieut. Commander Hancock, its executive officer and the officers of the watch were straining their eyes into the darkness guiding the ship as it sped on its uncharted course of the air. In each of the motor gondolas, engines were roaring, pulling the exhausted to sleep and dragging the soles of those posit box. As the months went on, she said, she forgot all about the incident. When the senate investigating committee started the investigation into the naval oil reserve land lenses, she declared she made a search for the document but was unable to find it. After the senatorial investigation had been concluded she went to the bank with her attorney, Charles Wellborn, and opened her safety deposit box. After several hours of scanning the contents of the box, the piece of paper bearing Fall's signature was found. As she concluded her story, Pomerene signified he was thru with Mrs. Doheny and Hogan refused to cross-examine her. Pomerene then called Doheny to the stand and asked that he be sworn in as a government witness. He plainly intended to follow up the senational story and to, force Doheny to produce the signature for the court. After the clerk had placed Doheny under oath, the oil magnate told Judge McCormick that he wished to reserve his constitutional right and refused to testify. "I am under indictment by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C." he said, "and I might be asked questions which would tend to incriminate me." "Judge McCormick upheld his objection and Doheny left the stand. Pomerene then called Doheny's son, E. L. Doheny, Jr., and in the same manner, young Doheny evaded the questioning of the attorneys. Court was then adjourned during the lunch period. GREAT DEAL OF WEIGHT LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23. That torn fragment of the $100,000 note bearing the signature of former See'y of the Interior Albert B.

Doheny, Los Angeles oil magnate, was asserted today by his attorneys.

Doheny was indicted in Washington after he had testified before the senatorial oil inquiry that the note given him by Fall in return for $160,000 in cash had become torn and that he had lost a portion of it.
