SAN DIEGO, Cal, Oct 27.-Steps
are being taken to capture two Mexi-
can fishermen who killed Lieut.. Cecil
II. Connolly. of San Diego, and Lieut.
Frederick B. Waterhouse, of Weiser,
Idaho, army aviators missing since
August Fl, in Lower California.
The announcement was made upon
the arrival here of the destroyer
Aaron Ward. bringing the bodies of
the two aviatOrs from Bahia Los An
geles, on the gulf of Lower California.
to which point they had flown after
losing their way in a border patrol
flight from Yuma, Ariz., to San Diego.
According to Maj r. S. Bratton,
head OF the military party sent from
here to recover the bodies. the slayers
were from a Mexican sloop. Their

States and Mexican governments.
Wrote Tragic Messages.
The destroyer also brought a part
Of a story of the sufferings endured
by the young aviators, in the form
of notes scrawled in part on the
wings and fusilage of the DeHaviland
airplane in which Connolly and Wa
terhOuse made their last flight. Some
OF these messages. evidently written
When the aViators had almost lost
hope OF being found, were of such a
tragic nature that Major Bratton ask
ed the newspaper reporters to refrain
from using them, out of considera-
tion for the officers families.
Major Bratton said that the two
aviators had gone nineteen days with
out food, or at least without much to
sustain them. The fate that drew
them far from their air path remain
ed with them until the very last.
Maj. Theodore MacAuley, in one of
his flights to find them, flew within
sixty miles of the spot where they
stood guarding their plane.
Landed Near silver Mine.
Later, on the afternoon Of Septem-
er 9, they were landed from a canoe

are arrayed almost to a man against
labor's program. These leaders sum-
marily have rejected the Plumb plan
of nationalizing the railroads, but,
headed by Senator Cummins. they are
legislating against the right of labor
to strike, a proposition which labor
is opposing with all it's might.
Socialist Party Distrusted.
The Socialist party, which had
hoped to reap enormous advantage
from labor discomfort. is not regarded
by most labor leaders as safe
refuge. That organization is too
revolutionary, not to say too incendi-
ary, for the more conservative work
ing men. Besides If they are to
go into any third party. they want
to dominate it, not be dominated by a
lot of step-ladder orators, magazine
statesmen. or parlor Bolshevists.
More and more labor politicians as
they size up the situation, therefore,
seem inclined to join in the formation
of a Labor party fashioned along the
lines of the British Labor party. They
seem to think that they can get more
satisfactory results IL they divorce
themselves entirely from the elder
political organizations and play the
game in their own way.
Fate of Third Parties.
The more enlightened among these
leaders do not overlook, however, the
history of third parties in this coun-
try--not one of which survived, un-
less. as in the case of the Republican
party. it crowded an older organiZa-
tion out of the field. Even the
Progressive party shared the same
fate of the Populists of an earlier
day-by dissolving after one promis-
ing campaign.
Moreover. laboring men are in
clined to divide politically, as other
classes divide in this country. The
labor vote never has been a deliver
able vote, en- masse, any more than
the capitalist vote or the farmer vote
or the woman's vote or the prohibi-
tion vote
Finally. the most radical of all
laboring men in American, and the
most rampant element among the
strikers, the agitators, and industry
grabbers, are aliens who never have
become naturalized and who, there
fore, have no votes to cast, even
though they had party of their own
and expected to revolutionize this
country by the ballot instead of the
bludgeon, the truth instead of tho
torch.

HARVARD PREPARES
FOR TIGER AFFAIR
Several Men Out of Lineup
Because of Injuries Church
Shows Up Well.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. Solar
wards preparation for its game with
Princeton in the Palmer stadium a week
from next Saturday will not be retarded
In the least because of any casualties
IN the Virginia game. Thoroughly
tired, but with no injuries, the Crimson
started heading for the Jerseymen in
earnest Yesterday. The coaches were
much impressed by the way the play
ers showed the driving offensive on
which they had been coached 50 thor
oughly after their failure to score after
an early start against Brown. The
coaches also were pleased with the all
round interference.
The ends and backs came through so
well yesterday that, although Ralph
Horween and Phinney both. probably
the lineup before the Princeton game,
the team hardly will be handicapped.
Fred Church's running against Virginia
and his ability to kick is going to fur
nish Eddie Casey with a task to pick
UP his position again off hand.
A. Norween, who has been slow COM
ing round to form, burst into some driv-
Ing spectacular play yesterday, which In
all probability will keep him in the first
string backfield. After the Brown game
Capt. Murray's condition was a matter
for much speculation, but Harvard's
captain, as soon as he got back in con-
dition, arrived again with a rush.
Harvard Is not likely to have any
thing very radically different in a way
OF. running attack for the Princeton
game than that already shown. Speed,
detail and coordination, with what Of
fensive already Ia on tap, will, In all
probability be the Crimson's plan of
campaign leading up to Nov. 8 at
