MIAMI. April 25.--The twelve pas
senger flying limousine Santa Maria
with six persons aboard, is missing
tonight. forty hours after she scared
out Of Key West for Nassau, and an
all day .earch has failed to reveal Il
trace of her.
The Santa Maria left Key West on
an errand OF mercy at o'clock Mon
Gay morning to bring back to Miami
c. A. Schiller, a pilot of the Aeroma-
rine -Airways Corporation. who was
beaten by Nassau thugs last Friday.
Schiller has been in a serious condi-
ton ever since and il was decided to
bring him here for an operation.
To attend Schiller on the trip the
flying boat carried DR.. Eugene G.
Lowe and Leslie A. Curry. a pharna-
cist, both Of Key West. and a woman
nurse. Pilots Ed Musick and f. g.
Richardson, former army fliers. were
in charge OF the ship.
II had been planned to put into Miami
at o'clock Monday afternoon from
Nassau with Schiller. When the craft
did not arrive at dusk last night tracer
messages were sent out and this morn
ing II was ascertained difinifely the
plane mad not arrived at Nassau.
A sister ship. the Ponce De Leon,
started out in search. Commander AL
bert Read, who reached here yesterday
in charge of fleet OF naval planes en-
route north from Guantanamo Bay, dis
patched one OF his craft and the two
machines spent the day combing the
coast and keys.
Airmen and navigators here believe
the craft became dsa bied and was
forced down at sea. while the possibility
exists she may have TAXED into some
key or small island and will be heard
from.
Heavy winds have swept the seas for
the last week and, although sea-
worthy craft, II is believed II would
be impossible IL once forced down for
the Santa Maria to rise again, as even
under good weather conditions this is
hazardous feat
Tomorrow three more of Commander
Reads planes will join the search and
fast boats arc preparing tonight TO
leave Miami early in the morning. while
all available craft along the coast will
be pressed into the search.
The plight OF the Santa Maria recalls
the recent Miss Maimi disaster. in which
i've lives were lost. That plane was
forced down at sea, and for days fought
the waves. the pilot alone being. picked
up. nearly dead.
The flying boat New York. CARRYING

LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN
Discharged Man Says His Of

formation in War Case.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-W. o. Watts
special agent of the Department OF
Justice, was dismissed from the Gov
ernment service yesterday "for good
and sufficient reasons" Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty said to-day. The an
nouncement of the dismissal was made
earlier in the day at the Capitol
through the making public of a letter
to Mr.. Watts from Assistant Attorney
General Holland. which declared that
the action was taken because Of dis
loyalty to the Department"
At the same time there was made
public a copy of memorandum from
Mr. Watts to the Department which
said that the dismissal had been oc-
casioned by his supplying Representa-
tive Johnson (Rep.. S. d. with in

the Department of Justice in a speech

pie around here. / had good and suffi-
cient reasons for dispensing with his
services. They were not satisfactory
and were dispensed with. Such situa-
tions are likely to happen again. That's
all care to say"
A moment later however. the Attor-
ney-General said in reply TO question
that whatever Congress might think
doesn't worry me minute"
The order Of removal was signed by
Mr.. Holland and said the step was taken
'inasmuch as you iiave knowingly and
wilfully violated the rules of the Depart
ment, which, as you must be aware,
constitutes a breach OF trust"
In his memorandum 10 the Depart
ment. which II was said was submitted
under orders, Watts said he had given
information to Mr.. Johnson regarding
prosecution of war cases and that he
had been actuated in the public interest
in SO doing because Of .the connection
the information had with the proposed
promotion of Major Lancelot NJ. Purcell
of the Quartermaster Corps.
Under questioning by Mr.. Johnson"
the memorandum as made public at the
Cdpltol Saiu II became necessary 1or
me to inform him that satisfactory prog
ress on the many war fraud cases had
been woefully impeded by a lack OF
competent organization or any definite
plan OF operation.
"Such information as / furnished Mr..
Johnson was given with the sole view
of obtaining corrective and constructive
improvements In the interest OF the Gov
crnment and was, therefore. regarded
by me as being in the real and actual
interest OF the Department of Justice.

permitting the American Legion and
Foreign War Veterans representatives,
to dictate the terms OF the bonus bill
which Senate candidates for reelection
are determined TO put through despite
the opposition of the President, Secre-
tary of the Treasury and people gen
orally do not appear TO be making
friends for the bonus scheme.
Several Republican Senator'S who

view with disapproval the desperate at
tempt of their colleagues TO override
the judgment of executive officials.
Democratic Senator'S who recall the
staggering burdens imposed on the
Southern States by the stupendous
pension system instituted after the
civil war likewise are beginning to
express skepticism as TO the value OF
the bonus as an economic or political
benefit. Some expressed the opinion
that support of the bonus would react
on Democrats as we'll as the Republi-
cans.
The maneuvers OF the Finance Com
mittee Republicans TO ignore every
except the demands OF
the politically feared bonus raiders
have caused many Senators to with
hold final judgment regarding the
scheme until the views of the President
and executive officials OF the Govern
mcnt have been obtained.

Arbitrary Decision Revised.

The decision OF Chairman McCum-
her and his bonus associates to exclude
Treasury officials from participating in
the preparation of n bonus bill has
been revised. The demand OF the
bonus claimants for money down has
necessitated conferences between the
Finance Committee and Treasury Off
cials TO estimate the cost OF the latest
proposal advanced by the bonus
raiders.
It is quite probable that Secretary
Mellon and other officials OF tho Treas
TRY will be invited 10 prepare esti-
mates on tho cost TO the Government
Of the legion plan, which would COM
poi the Government to raise very
large sum.
Republican members OF tho Finance
Committee declined to-day to make
any statement regarding the probable
character OF the measure which they
hope to produce within the next week.

OF the ex-service men," said Chairman
McCumber, but reached no decisions.

ton awarded by Russian judges under

"a loan TO Russia has been accepted
in principle, but no figure has been men
toned. The subject was discussed only
in general terms"
THE NEW York Herald correspondent
also talked with NJ. Mierowicz, the Lat
Wan Foreign Minister. whose views on
the Russian question coincide with those
of most of the other delegates. Having
lived for long time in Russia he is

Russia cannot get a loan. as the con-

being the affair OF individual bankers or
governments. Russia already has the
dc jure recognition Of tho Baltic States
and others. England probably will rec
ognize her dc Jure, but not France.
NJ. Microwicz thought the conference
would advance the Russian question
slightly, but Recalled that there had
been a great change in Russia since
1921 and believed there would be Il
further drift toward conservatism dur
ing the present year. A. Russia will
not recognize consortiun. a loan ar
ranged under those conditions would
be impossible. and for a year or SO, he
