A heavy screen, which broke the

of Mr.. and Mrs. John McYoung, as

imbedded in the side of the house.

proprietor of the McYoung Clothing
Company, 126 West Houston Street.
"The sting of small bullets and the
noise of the discharge awoke me, !"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Cap
tain Stanford E. Moses, command
Isng the Hawaiian flight project, re-
ported to the navy department today
that an analysis of the situation
gives reason to hope for the recov-
cry today" of Commander Rodgers
and the missing seaplane Pho. No. /.
The message was forwarded to the
department by the commandant Of the
Twelfth naval district. -
Flares observed from the mine
sweeper, Whippoorwill, so miles
north of Oahu, between 8 and IL
o'clock on the night of September 3,
were believed to have been the basis
for the reason mentioned in the dis
patch.
While the message did not go into
details, it was assumed at the depart
ment that in the light of that evil
dence and studies since made of the
situation, "a reasonable expectation of
finding the missing plane had devel-
oped.
1t was pointed out that officers
from the first had regarded the pros
pect of picking up the plane and per-
sonnet very good, provided a safe
landing had been made in the ocean.
With the plane capable of keeping
afloat indefinitely and with supplies
aboard sufficient to keep the person
mel alive for some time, it has been
regarded as only a question of time
when the plane would be found, if, of
course, it had not been demolished in
its forced descent. HH 10. e..

HONOLULU, Sept. 5.-New and
greater rescue efforts are being made
by naval forces in the search for the
missing seaplane, Pho No. 1 which
disappeared nearly 80 hours ago
somewhere on the broad Pacific near
the Hawaiian Islands. Faint hopes
for the safety of Commander John
Rodgers. and his four companions
were aroused when the tender Whip
poorwill reported that the widely
separated flares had been seen on
Tuesday night.
A naval scout plane, piloted by
Lieutenant Peterson, was forced down
yesterday off the coast of the island
of Kauai. The identity of the plane
was unknown for many hours and led
to a report that it was probably the
missing Pho No. 1. This was cor
tected by navy officials last night
when they identified the Peterson
plane.
As Lieutenant Peterson was able
to make effective repairs and take the
air, leaving his towing spaman, navy
officials consider the incident so
slight that it was not reported to the
press.

explanation from the navy

ment by Mrs. Lansdowne, widow Of

"The night before he left Com
mander Lansdowne told me that IL
would be his last trip. He meant
this in more ways than one. He
was due for sea duty December IS,
but he said that il would be his last
trip, because Of unfavorable weather
conditions in the Ohio valley.
He said that be wanted to 20 on
this trip because he wanted to die
when the ship crashed.
six weeks ago when the trip was
planned he asked Secretary Wilbur
to postpone the trip until October is
when the weather would be more
favorable. The secretary refused,
and said this was the time, because
it was the right time for the pub
licity which would be gained by the

kind Of publicity was to be received
