| Mother, you made me give up the
! automobile racing game, but don
! take my plane away from me"
| That Divine Providence had some

firm belief expressed by Capt. VIM
Wachsmuth of the william Green
He said that something impelled him
to go to point off his regular course
and that when he did this he sighted
the wrecked seaplane with it's sole
survivor.
It was dusk when he came from his
cabin for the last time Friday night
before going below and as he looked
out over the waters he noticed an OBJ
ject. Using his glasses he saw that it
was something waving. He turned his
ship towards the object and altho a
high sea was running, lowered small
boat.
AS the craft reached the side of the
overturned flier, Moore fell exhaust

time.
Plans for a search for the bodies

the latitude and longitude given by
Captain Wachsmuth when he picked
up Moore. Captain Wachsmuth said
he swept the sea for two hours with
able to get any trace of the five per-
sons.
c. D. Brumleth. manager of the At
lanta branch of the Larabee Flour
Mills, of which Butte was the head,
arrived today to assist in the search.
Delirious and exhausted from his
terrible experience, Moore has but one
thought uppermost in his mind-that
he did the best he could to save the
lives of the two women who died in

moaned. Then he would be quiet for
few minutes only to repeat the
words again.
Plans were being made this after
noon to attempt the recovery of the
bodies of the passengers lost off the
plane. Probably both airplanes and
boats will be used for the purpose,
the airplanes for spotting the bodies,
and the boats for picking them up if
they are located. Boatmen fear, how
ever, that being so far from shore.
more than forty miles, the bodies
never will be located
The story of the rescue of Moore as
Green was that Moore had lashed him
self to one of the uprights of the
planes wings with one rope around
his legs and the other rope around
the upper portion of his body
The sub-chaser 154 met the tanker
at a point opposite the United States
coast guard station, six miles north
of Miami at 8 o'clock this morning
and the tanker stood by to let the
chaser get in good position to take
the delirious man off as the sea was
running high at the time. The chaser
got on the ocean side of the tanker
and with a stretcher rugged up with
a sling, Moore was dropped over the
deck of the chaser. BY that time the
boats were about opposite Miami.

overhauled by appointment of six lay
members with the state superinten-

legislature will be asked to increase
the salary of the state superintendent
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
County boards of education will be
urged before the next legislature.
These boards may levy taxes for rural
school purposes and from this fund
pay an amount not exceeding $50 a
month as one-half of the salary of a
rural teacher. The plan of a general
county school tax is to aid weak dis
tricts.
Three classes of schools will be rec

city. The common schools would give
elementary grade school courses. The
community school would provide both
grade and high school work. City
