HOPE FOR AvIATORS LOST

Sea

Part of Wrecked Air Craft Found at
Sea
Los Angeles.-Resting places on the
bottom of the Pacific Ocean, a few
miles from land, are believed to have
been accorded by fate to Horace Kear-
ny, the young Kansas City aviator,
and his passenger, Chester Lawrence,
Los Angeles newspaper man, who
started with him as a passenger on an
attempted flight in a hydroaeroplane
to San Francisco.
Faith in the proverbial luck of Avi-
ator Kearny was shattered when a
party of fishermen arrived in Santa
Monica towing behind their motor
boat a hydroaeroplane pontoon. It
had been picked up five miles south
west Of Redondo beach, and was posi-
lively identified by Charles Day as the
one he had constructed for Kearny's
hydroaeroplane
Day expressed the belief that the
men had landed on the water, proba-
bly, because of engine trouble, and the
heavy seas had wrenched off the pom
tOon, causing the craft to lose it's equi-
librium and hurting the men into the
sea.

''BuTTER TRUST"

Chicago.-Suit to dissolve the Elg1n
board of trade, frequently called the

ISOLATION of Creamery Manufacturers,
was filed in the United States court
here, by Representatives Of the depart

interest OF big manufacturers and
storage concerns is charged, the gov
eminent also alleging the two organ
lzations work together to fix prices OF
butter and eggs.
Twenty-one individual defendants
also are named in the suit.

NEGLECT CHARGED
AGAINST SURGEON
Woman to Bring Accusation
Against Army Doctor on
Board Sherman.

Charges of neglect by the surgeon on
board are to be laid before the head
of the army transport service when the
troopship Sherman reaches in San Fran
cisco. The accuser is, or says she is,
a niece of General Allen, chief of the
signal corps. Announcement to this
effect was made while the Sherman was
in Honolulu, and leaked out yesterday.
The woman is the wife of signal
corps electrician. Her story is to the
effect that her husband was sent to Ma
Mia two or three months ago. On the
way across he became very i'll, later
it was discovered that he was suffering
from Bright s Disease. His wire charges
that the surgeons on board paid little
heed to the sufferer other than perfume
tory visits. On arriving at Manila the
electrician met with cool reception as
the army was expecting a well, instead
of sick man.
1t was found necessary to send the
man back to San Francisco, but not be
fore the wife had gone to extremes tC
secure the necessary transportation anC
orders.
On going aboard the Sherman she de
clares she tried to get her husband init
the hospital ward, but for some TIM
without effect. Finally it was decided
to take him, but she was barred iron
visiting him on the ground that ther,
were other men IN the ward. Tn,
woman says that frantic with anxiet,
she finally ignored all red tape an'
marched into the ward and took up he
vigil alongside her husband IS bunk. Tn
surgeon protested.
/ The woman claims that the surgeon
gave little care 10 her husband, AM
that the officer cared more for bridg
whist than for the patients. When sh
finally informed the authorities that sh
was relative of General Allen, the eli
uation changed and better treatBnen
was accorded her husband,
Il was thought when the transpor
