FIND FRAGMENTS OF
 KEARNEY'S MACHINE
Aviator and Companion Drowned in Los Angeles
 San Francisco Flight

Los Angeles. Cal, December 1i-Frag- ments of a hydro-aeroplane and cloth ing which were washed ashore and idenu- fied proved today that Aviator Horace kearny and his reporter companion, Chester Lawrence. met disaster soon after they started last Saturday on their pro- posed flight over the ocean 10 san Fran cisco.
 The exact circumstances surrounding their death probably always will remain unknown. They may have died within few hours after they vanished Saturday afternoon in the msts off Point Firmin or they may have elung 10 their ffasile craft all through a stormy night and the next day. But judging from the position of the wreckage which gave today the first definite olew to their fate, they died a short distance from shore and in all probability their bodies now rest in the tangled morass of the kelp beds near Redondo beach.
 The wreckage of the hydro-aeroplane was found today at Fishermans cove. four miles south of Redondo beach, by Paul Banzhaf and two companions who conducted an independent search. The searchers picked up a shirt and vest. Glenn Martin who undertook Sunday the dangerous hydro-aeroplane flight III search of Kearny declared that the vest was part of the clothing Lawrence wore when he boarded the aeropiane With Kearny
 The shirt and vest were ripped and torn, indicating the haste and despera- tion with which their wearer had cast off impediments for his battle With the sea. A pontoon found nearby was bat tered and dented and the condition of a fragmentary wing tip also found gave evidence of having been battered by the

them to join in the movement in an effort to make the campaign general
