Report,

Honolulu, March 26. The
American submarine F-4, lost
since yesterday morning off
Honolulu harbor, was located
late today. Heroic efforts were
being made tonight to raise the
stricken craft, but after having
been submerged for more than
80 hours it was regarded as
doubtful whether any of her
crew Of 2l men remained
alive.
To lift the little vessel to the
surface, it was found necessary
to send to the PearlHarbor naval
station for derrick and crane.
This involved much loss of time
and it was thought the fate Of
the crew might not be determin-
ed until daylight.

Under Direction Of Miss Emma
Ody Pohl---Written BY Mrs.
Rice Gather

NV outAAtta
Persons not familiar with the
recorded history Of the State of
Mississippi do not know that a
pageant play which will depict
events in Columbus carries the
spectators back centuries when
the Indians migrating from the
West, planting their prophetic
reed upon the banks of the
Tombigbee river, saw that it
stood perpendicular, To them
this indicated that their years Of
their wandering, with the bones
of their fathers upon their backs,
was at an end and that hunting
grounds as happy as theirs this
side Of the land of the Great
Spirit had been discovered.
The pageant will be given late
in May upon the campus of the
Industrial Institute and College
at Columbus. More than seven
hundred young women, students
in the college, and a number of
Columbus residents will take part,
Spectators viii journey thither
from all sections of Mississippi,
and persons from Alabama.
Louisiana, Tennessee and Illinois
have signified their intention of
being present. One of the most
distinguished visitors will be

who is interested particularly
because the romantic marriage of
his parents, General Stephen d.
Lee and Miss Regina Harrison
took place in Columbus during the
Civil War and will constitute a
scene Of the play.
Mrs. Rice Gather of Mobile,
has written the pageant which is
probably unique in the South.
She will also stage it, planning
to devote two months of her
time to work in Columbus. The
setting will require much though
and labor, when one considers
that hillock down which water
fall plunges must be thrown up
and gallery prepared capable of
accommodating a cast of more
| than seven hundred characters.
Mrs. Gather is not wholly mex
perienced, however, having been
associated with Miss Emma Ody
Pohl in staging and directing
other spectacular plays upon the
II. | and c. campus.
Miss Pohl is director of the
physical training department of
the Industrial Institute and Col
! leg and according to her expert
ence has been assigned large
part in the direction OF the play.
Part of her work will be the
teaching of dances interpretatiye
of the various periods in the
action. Many Of these dances
are original with her.
The Columbus pageant will
be unified and given a more
personal interest by a character
