that the state needs all the revenue it

down on boxing.

Decision Reserved
In Childs Action to
Ouash Indictment

When both sides had concluded their
arguments yesterday on the motion to
dismiss the indictment against William

Josiah 7. Newcomb charging them
with violating the election laws Su-
preme Court Justice Weeks reserved
decision. He announced he would
make his decision known shortly.
District Attorney Swami, taking OK
ception to charges made Monday bv
counsel for Mr.. Childs that he had
overlooked similar infractions Of the
election laws by others, issued a gen
eral denial and made specific answers
to some of the more pointed charges.
Mr.. Swami said Childs was indicted
for knowingly making "a % ssa4o-
ment of the purposes for which S11,50O
was expended by hlm as c"s,..n.n Of
the Mitchell campaign committee in The
last mayoralty campaign.
Regarding the charge that he had
not prosecuted similar cases District
Attorney Swami said:

that the cases are not similar. Ii

expenses filed by any other person OF

Navy Organizes
Wide Hunt for
Missing Balloon
authorities Admit for First
lime That 3 Lieutenants
May Have Met Disaster;
Evans to Conduct Search
Army Plane Destroyed
Machine Bursts Into Flames
After Ascent at Albany;
Pilot and His Aid Escape

The United States naval authorities
yesterday admitted for the first time
their apprehension for the safety of
the three lieutenants who rose into
heavy gale in the free balloon A
5,599 from the Rockaway Naval Air
Station on Monday, December 13, and
have not since been heard from
directly.
For the first time the department
took official cognizance of the jeop-
ardy in which violent weather condi-
tions had placed Lieutenant A. l..
Kloor, Walter Hinton and Stephen A.
Farrell by ordering Lieutenant Albert
w. Evans to leave Immediately for
Ottawa and organize q search for the
missing men in the bleak regions of
northern Quebec.
Before leaving Lieutenant Evans de-
clared he would enlist every possible
agency to aid him in the search. The
naval authorities now consider the
missing men are undoubtedly within
the triangle formed by the three lare
est lakes in northern Quebec, as out
lined in The Tribune last week.
III the mean time disaster again over
took one of the army machines that
were sent out to begin an aerial search
of the Adirondack region. Lieutenant
F. B. Johnson took off from the neld at
Albany yesterday, and after crcling it
three or four times in his D H-4 biplane
the machine caught fire. An emergency
landing was made, but Johnson and his
observer, Sergeant George Scke. both
escaped injury. The machine was COM
pletely destroyed.
During the day Lieutenant Lucas Y
Beau, in the other D H-4, took OFF from
Giens Falls. He covered 800 square
miles Of territory in Hamilton County
from an altitude of 200 feet. He flew
over glacial country, suffering intensely
from the bitter sold. Although the
conditions were ideal for observation
with splendid visibility, not single
vestige of he missing balloon was
seen, nor re any signs Of its oc-
cupants observed.

Benson Contends
Instances of Wrongdoing
Few When the Enormous
Scope of Task Performed
Is Considered, He Says

Admiral " S. Benson, chairman of
the United States Shipping Board, last
night defended the American Merchant
Marine and declared there had been
mparatively few instances of wrong
doing when the enormous scope of the
operation upon which his board en-
barked four years ago was considered.
The admiral spoke to members of the
Municipal Club, of Brooklyn, in the
rooms of the Lawyers Club. at 115
Broadway.
Other speakers on the merchant ma
rine were Q. X. Davis, secretary of
the National Foreign Trade Council
Robert +. Amin, author and lecturer,
and William Fl. McGee. Almet Reed
Latson jr. presided.
Admiral Benson said It was not to
be expected that when an operation in
shipbuilding involving an expenditure
Of $3,000000,0 900 was undertaken some
soft job hunters would not find them
selves berths. He declared they had
been weeded out Of the organization as
rapidly as they were discovered. anc
