SEARCH FOR HAWKER
Is UNAYAILING
Mystery Of False Reports Of Having
Seen Him OFF Irish Coast Remains
Unexplained. y nr


London, May 20r-There is still no
news OF Harry G. Hawker and Lieut..
Commander Mackenzie Grieve, the
daring airmen. The mystery OF the
false wireless reports, attributed to
the Admiralty, that they had fallen
into the sea forty miles from the Irish
coast remains unexplained.
Eight vessels were within an area
OF 100 miles directly in Hawker's
track off the southwest coast of Ire
land when he was due to finish his
fight. In answer to a wireless call,
none of these vessels has reported
seeing any trace OF the Hawker ma
chine.
In an official communique just is
sued justifying the attitude OF the
government in relation to the cross.
Atlantic fight, 1t is stated that in
view of the vast areas involved the
chances of finding Hawker and Grieve
are very remote.
The communiQue. referring to re-
cent criticisms, says that the attitude
of the air ministry has been to en-
Join caution, rather than TO urge such
attempts, and, while anxious to do
the utmost to save such gallant and
intrepid airmen as Hawker and
Grieye, the government feels bound

resources make It utterly impossible

STRIPPING sTEEL-HEAo TROUT
Fish cuIturists Busy at Big Reservoir
in Chittenden

State Fish and Game Commission
er Linus Leavens of Cambridge, who
has been looking over conditions in
Rutland county for the last three days
was at the East Pittsford Ponds and
the Chittenden dam Saturday, talk
ing with the government men who are
trapping steel-head trout for the pur-
pose of getting spawn, part of which
will be returned to the lake along
with other lingering steel-head trout
so that the propagation VIII not be
lessened in the least. Mr.. Leavens
was of the opinion that the Chittenden
dam is one of the most valuable arti-
fetal lakes for breeding purposes in
the state.
The stripping of tn steel head trout
which have been taken from the lake
for the last month and KEEP. in proper
places for FISH of th,s sps.ie. was
started Friday under the direct.
tion of Director Merrill and Assistant
George Montgomery of the govern
ment hatchery. The first big catch
of steel-head trout in the traps was
that of Friday morning when 26
were taken from the trap at the Lef.
fert dam.
The officials are of the opinion that
the backward season has possibly
been the cause OF the lack OF trout
in the traps and the indication Fri
day of so many fish after the two or
three warm days of the week is con-
sidered proof that the trout will soon
run in numbers.
The men employed at this work
have been stripping many OF the suck
lers and about so quarts OF the eggs
will be sent to a government hatchery
! in Maryland and when Matched will
be used for feeding purposes for fish
Hof other specie, The suckers at the
dam are still running up the small
brooks by the thousand. IN one small
pond the officials have already segre-
gated 10000 suckers ''-
