New York, April 25.-Lady Astor
told leading editors and publishers
of the United States today at the an
nual luncheon of the Associated
Press that America would yet enjoy
the conference at Genoa.
II believe America can show the
way to peace" she exclaimed fervent.
ly amid gale of applause.
The reference to Genoa was but
one of score of subjects touched
upon by the Virginia born member of
the British house of commons in a
breezy address on mother love and
practical politics that held the close
attention Of her audience in the grand
ball room of the Waldorf Astoria.
Her audience was mostly men, al
though the boxes in the gallery were
filled with women.
Lady Astor seemed perfectly at
home from the moment she trippedi
jauntily into the room to the strains
of "Dixie." She joined in the sing
ing of Garry Me Back to Old Vir-
ginia," shouted Hear, hear" when
her husband, Viscount Astor, spoke
briefly, and mounted chair and
waved Goodbye at the conclusion Of
the luncheon.
She digressed considerably from
her prepared address,, touching at
random on such topics as Lloyd
George, bolshevism, labor and capi-
tai, the power of the press, closer
understanding between England and
the United States.
She proudly said she was, 'Vir-
ginia patriot and very ardent one."
This patriotism, she said, had stood
her well, because it has proven to
England that the real patriot can be
useful IN any country, and narrow,
bigoted patriot is no use to any coun-
try, even his own"
She stopped to apologize for her re-
cent remarks against the bonus, say

here yesterday and while in Column

the Jesse Gappins appeal before the
supreme court. This petition will be
heard next Tuesday lby the court.
Gappins, one of the Brazell murder

ed that the appeal lacks merit, being

the grand jury which indicted Gap
pins.

supreme court under which appeals
of no apparent merit can be dis
missed upon motion Of the solicitor,
Mr.. Callison hopes To have the ap-
peal thrown out.
Nothing definite has as yet been
announced in regard 10 C. o. Fox,
another of the murder trio, who has
an alleged appeal pending. He is
appealing from a refusal of Justice
Cothran to grant stay of execution
for Fox. Other than notice of in
tention to appeal from Justice Goth
rams refusal, nothing official has been
heard from the attorney for Fox,
who is said to have left Columbia.

Nassau, has been found on Williams
Island, said wireless message from
Havana, adding the passengers were
taken to Nassau in a small boat, while
the pilot and mechanician remained
with the plane.
Miami, Fla, April %. - Grave
doubt exists tonight as to the fate of
the flying boat Santa Maria, which
left Key West Monday morning for
Nassau with six persons aboard her,
and has not been heard from since.
Searching planes were sent out this
morning but returned tonight without
having located a trace of the missing
craft. 1t is believed that the Santa
Maria was disabled a sea but there
is no conjecture as to where she may
have been forced down.
The Santa Maria left Key West at
8 o'clock Monday morning for Nassau
to bring back to Miami C. A. Schiller,
pilot Of Aeromarine corporation,
owners of the Santa Maria, who was
attacked and seriously injured by
Nassau thugs last Friday. Schiller
has been unconscious ever since, and
the Santa Maria, when she sailed from
Key West, carried DIR. Eugene A.
Loves, Leslie A. Curry, a pharmacist,
both of that city, and women nurse
from Habana, to attend him. Pilots
Ed Music and E. G. Richardson flew
the ship. The Santa Maria was due
in Miami at o'clock yesterday after
noon and when at dusk she had not
appeared, tracer messages were sent
out. This morning it was definitely
learned that the flying boat had never
reached Nassau. Aeromarine officials
at Key West Immediately sent out the
sister ship, Ponce de Leon, to comb
the waters. Commander Albert Read
who arrived here yesterday with q
fleet of naval seaplanes from Guam
tnamo bay, ordered one of them to
join the search.
At $3.50 tonight the naval plane re-
turned from an all day fight along
the coast and out over the keys to re-
port that it had sighted nothing. A
little later George Cobb, pilot of the
Ponce de Leon, wirelessed from Mas
.sau that she had 1sovsred the islania
and had failed to sight the Santa Ma
ria.
Commander Read tonight was pre-
pairing to send out his whole feet of
nine navy torpedo planes in the morn
ing provided the wind permits. Fast
speed boats all along the coast from
Miami to Key West also will be mo-
bilized to join the search.

For two years 1 suffered from a
terrible case of stomach trouble and
rheumatism. I was greatly bothered
with constipation, gas and pains after
eating, and the rhumatic pains in my
arms, shoulders and feet were almost
more than could bear. I was ter
ribly nervous, unable to get any rest
full sleep and was utterly run down
generally.
J 'I saw the statement of a Baltimore
lady in the papers and I wrote her.
She wrote back and praised Tanlac
even more than she had in her pub
lished statement. Also I read what
Mr.. Thomas of this city had to say
about Tanlac, and wrote to him too.
He even came out to my house to tell
me of his experience. Well, have
taken two bottles of the medicine and
some of the Tanlac Vegetable Pills,
and feel like a new person. have
gained five pounds and my stomach
trouble and rheumatism are all gone.
Tanlac is worth its weight in gold
and my praise and gratitude will
never never cease"
