Plane Wreck Survivors,
Cold and Exhausted,
Are Picked From Sea

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-One of the
most elaborate searches ever devised
to locate, a missing airpIane was
called off today when a fishing smack
arrived at Long Beach, forty miles
from here, bringing w. T. Miller,
pilot; Harold Thompson, mechani-
clan, and the lone passenger of the
seaplane Ambassador II, that drop
ped from sight Sunday morning.
The fishing smack attempted to
tow the battered hulk of the sky
cruiser in which the three men had
fought a game fight for forty-three
hours against the chill winds and
waves, but finally mad to abandon it
to the waters OF the Atlantic.
Drawn and haggard from expos
ure, with nothing to eat and only
little water, the three men refus-
ed to tell of their adventures until
they had recovered from the exhaus-
ton caused by their experience. The
Identity of the passenger was not
learned, it being said that he does
not wish to cause his family any
anxiety as he was supposed to have
gone on a business trip.
The search for the sightseeing
plane started Sunday after Miller
failed to return from what was to
have been a flight over the Fire Is
land lightship.
All Miller would say before he had
food and rest was: I

GOVERNOR HARDW|CK
vETOES NEW PENSION
APPROPRIATION BILL
Deficiency Bill Is Approved
by Chief Executive, Who
Declares State Could Not
Pay Amount He Vetoed

Governor HardwiCk on Tuesday
vetoed the appropriation by the leg
islature of $1,2OO,O00 for Confederate
pensions.
In his statement of the reasons
why he, vetoed the appropriation
the governor called attention to the
fact that the legislature failed to
provide the revenue with which to
pay additional Confederate pensions,
and declared it was, therefore, i'm
possible for him to approve this
bill. He further called attention to
his statement in his message to the
legislature when the session con-
vened, that he would be unwilling
to approve appropriations in excess
Of the revenue of the state.
Approximately 100000 of deficiency
appropriations for various institu-
tons were passed by the legislature,
and all of these were approved by
the governor with a few minor ex-
ceptions. In approving these, the
governor stated that there is in pros
pect a revenue margin Of $450,000 or
100000, and therefore, he is atlo
to see his way clear to pay most Of
them.
AS to the pension appropriation,
which he voted, it was necessary for
the governor either to approve it
as a whole or disprove it as a whole.
He could not, in other words. scale
it down.
Governor Scores Legislature
In vetoing the pension appropria-
ton, Governor Hardwick issued a
statement declaring the passage of
the appropriation without concur.
rent passage Of some revenue meas
ure with which to pay it was "un-
justified and unjustifiable."
Approval of the appropriation by
him, he declared, would plunge the
state treasury back into the morass
Of debt from which it was extricated
only a year ago.
He declared that the legislature
could have raised the revenue, with.
out harm to any interest, to pay the
pension appropriation, but was ap.
parently unwilling to do so. In view
of the failure to raise revenue to
pay the appropriation, he declared
1t was a farce" to pass the appro.
priation,

ND COAL COMING
INTO STATE NOW

Thai no coal is 1eing shipped to
Georgia and that none probably will
be shipped to this state except to
fill orders under the second priority
group, wa the information made
public Wednesday by John T. Boz
feuillet, fuel distributor for this
state.
He announced that the FEEDER. fuel
distributor had advised him it would
be impossible, at least until further
notice, to fill any orders below the
second group Of priorities.
In the priority ratings made by
the fedtral authorities, no uses are
specifieu in\ the first group. This
group is reserved for such specific
purposes as may from time to time
be specifically designated by the in
terstate commerce commission.
Group two consists of the follow
ing uses:
(a) Common carriers, such as rail-
roads and ships; (b) public utilities
operating under franchise to supply
street railroad and interurban trans
portation, electric power and light,
gas, water, sewer work., ice plants
directly supplying ice for preserva-
ton of food; (c) federal, state, coun-
ty and municipal governments; (6
screened coal for domestic and
household use.
Exclusion of all priorities below
group two means that virtually all
factories and other consumers of
coal can get no coal for the present,
not even those fac.ories which are
engaged in the manufacture of food.
Commissioner Boifeuillet is un-
dertaklng to have the federal au-
thorlt1es NIKE a sp Ncial designation

SENATE COMMITTEE
FAVORS COAL PROBE

y WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-while
the senate labor committee was tax.
ing the first formal action toward
creation of the coal fact-finding COM
mission recommended by President
Harding the president let it be
known today that he was disposed
to insist that the investigating body
be made up exclusively Of impartial
representatives of the public without
special representation for either
mine operators or employees.
A bill for a, commission on which
the president would be free to choose
representatives of the operators,
miners or the public as he saw fit,
w favorably reported by the SEN
ate committee. At the same time
the house interstate commerce com
mission, working independently, re
fused to strike from it's tentative
bill a provision which would ex
pressly prohibit membership on the
commission by any person having
any interest in or connection with
the coal industry.
The house committees bill also
was favorably reported after a num-
Der of changes were made from the
form in which it originally was
drafted by Chairman Winslow. AS
perfected it provides for a commits
sion Of nine members while the
measure drawn by the senate COM
mittee specifies that the membership
shall be five. In each bill the COM
mission is provided sweeping powers
of investigation.
The outlook as to relief from the
coal shortage resulting from the
strike was somewhat frightened to-
day by the forecast Of the central
coal distribution committee here
placing production for the week be-
ginning yesterday at between 5,000.-
900 and 100000 tons. This total

In connection with the-rail strike
the Chamber of Commerce of the

tistics on railroad accidents show
| ing that SO employees and passengers
were killed or seriously injured in
July, the first month Of the shop
mems strike, as compared with a
total of 213 in the preceding month
and 125 in July of last year.
The effect Of the rail strike in
| losses caused by inability to move
crops, particularly those of the fruit
and potato regions of the west, was
emphasized by Senator Borah yester-
day in urging a conference with B.
M. Jewell, leader of the striking
shopmen, and in a telegram to T.
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman Of the AS
ISOLATION of Railway Executives, that
both sides hasten a solution of the
controversy. SENATOR Borah in his
telegram said that the situation was
"fast becoming intolerable."
