NO DETAILS OF
MISHAP TO The
SAMPAO CORREIA
Lieutenant Hinton and
His Companions Are
Nearing Key West On
the Denver With All
Hands Reported Safe
Various Conjectures AS
To How 1t Happened

Washington. Aug 13.-The navy
department early today was still with
out details of the cause of the acci-
dent to the seaplane Sampao COrrcia,
whose crew. including Lieutenant
Hinton. pilot, was picked up last night
by the cruiser Denver. which re.
ported finding the plane. after it left
the Bahamas for Haiti yesterday in
its flight from New York to Brazil,
drifting in n disabled condition.
All of the five men aboard were re-
ported safe and uniniured.
A naval tug has been despatched
from the naval station at Guantanamo.
Cuba, the report said, to assist in
salvaging the seaplane.
The latitude and longitude position
in which the crew were picked up in
dicated to naval officers here that the
plane had come to grief somewhere
between the Bahamas and the Win
ward passage.
Naval aviators here attribute the
accident to an attempt to land in the
darkness while unable correctly to
read the machines altitude. While
not inclined to criticize Hinton. they
declared that unless a landing was
absolutely necessary it should not
have been attempted while flying at
an uncertain low altitude.

WANTS CHEMICAL ANALzER

Fort Pierce, Fla, Aug. PA
chemical anaIyzer," with appa-
ratus and motor car to go along
with the sheriff and "analyze
seized whiskey on the jump" is
desired by Sheriff J. r. Merritt,
of st. Lucie county, according to
an advertisement published in the
current issue of the Fort Pierce
News-Trlbune over the signature
Of that official.
The sheriff's search for
chemist is the result Of a recent
ruling by County Judge johnson
that even where an officer sees
what he believes to be liquor he
cannot legally arrest the person
in possession without a warrant
unless a chemical naIysis preVi-
ousIy has proved that the liquor
contains sufficient alcohol to be
classified as "intoxicating.
Judge Johnson's ruling was
based upon the state prohibition
laws and the federal authorities
have announced that it does not
affect their operations. Since
Judge Johnson's decision put a
damper on the prohibition activi-
ties of Sheriff Merritt and his
deputies, the sheriff has turned
over to federal officers the hand
ling of all prohibition cases.

DOOR IS STILL OPEN FOR
ANTHRACITE MINERS AND
OPERATORS TO SETTLE

Philadelphia, Aug. 23.-With the
hard coal parleys broken up as a re-
suit of the inability of miners and
operators to agree on the arbitration
problem, those anxious for peace in
the anthracite fields today commented
on the fact that the door was left
open for further negotiations in the
statement issued jointly by the ne
gotiators.
This statement, laconic as those is
sued upon the conclusion of the four
previous sessions, announced that the
conference was unable to agree and
that it had adjourned to meet on call
of the chairman of either side.
The operators today were pointed to
the appeal with which they prefaced
the terms of their first proposal, in
which they said that a serious short
age of anthracite has been created
already and that the further idleness
would simply aggravate the situation
and in the end force the householder
to use other fuel temporarily, "to the
ultimate detriment of the industry
and those it employs"
The abrupt halt in the proceedings
followed the insistence by the oper-
ators on some form of arbitration in
the future during which the miners
would remain at New York. A sharp
difference of opinion developd as to
tn length of the contract to be sgned.
Operators offered to pay the old wage
rates until next March 81, with a con-
ference after that date. The miners
demanded the old rate until after
March 81, 1924.
