They said she wore a hiking costume under her dress when she left.
 Nothing will make me believe that Nell left home of her own free will" Miss A. Austin, the older sister. told police. "I deny that there was any trouble between us. Some person has carried her off or compelled her to go with them" Miss Georgie made similar declaration,

GREAT BRITAIN LAGS
British Admiral Explains How His Country is Behind U. S. in Some Branches of Aviation

London, Nov 50.-How Great Brit ain lags behind the United States and other nations in some points of the science of aviation was the theme oi Major Mayo, who was in charge of the designs department of the air ministry during the World War, in addressing the Royal Aeronautical so- ciety last evening.
 The major said the fastest British pursuit machine was slower by 30 miles an hour than that of any other nation, and if British planes were called to war it was a plain fact they would never get into fight at all.
 Charging the government with neglecting research and experiment in aviation, the speaker said America had been making steady progress. He cited the record of 2S6 miles an hour made by the Curtiss United States navy racers, referring especially to the wind radiator to which he attri- buted the tremendous speed made by the American fliers.
 ''The wind radiator" said the ma jor, has as yet not been introduced in Great Britain, although it has been talked about for years"

of court citation issued last week

District Supreme Court for failing

The marshal admits the averments
of Keleher's petition, but declares
that he has the custody and posses
sion of the property solely in his Of
fetal capacity and that July % last
the United States in open court noted
an appeal from the order of Justice
Bailey to surrender the property and

The situation of the unfortunate
party has been complicated by the
fact that Wrangel island. while
the subject of much controversy,
is not the official possession of

Canadian flag on landing, but the
Canadian government has taken
no action concerning II, and
