Item today prints a story of a large
plane having been seen off Cape Sable.
Nova Scotia early in the morning of
Monday, May 9, by men on a rum
running schooner who landed here
last night. Neither the names of the
men nor of the schooner are used, in
confofmance with the request of the
source, but the story says the men
are positive in their statements.
The schooner, according to the story,
had been lying about 40 miles south
of Cane Sable for nearly three weeks
while making arrangements for its
cargo.
Plane Going Southwest.
At 7 o'clock in the morning May 9
the lookout heard the noise of a motor.
He called several others of the YES
sci and they We're soon able to dis
tinguish a large plane flying at an al
titude of about 5000 feet. 1t was
headed southwest from Cape Sable,
and, checking it by their own home
ward course, it was pointed straight
for Boston Light. Then a heavy fog
bank shut down and sight of the plane
was lost.

PLEA TO SUMMON
SPECIAL SESSION
White House Acts After En-
couraging Hoover Report
Is Received.

Based on an encoura ging report
received today from Secretary of
Commerce Hoover on work being
done for the relief of Mississippi
flood sufferers. it was announced
later at the White House that Presi-
dent Coolidge does not think it neces-
sary to call an extra session of Con-
gress in response to repeated demands
from various quarters.
Secretary Hoover submitted to the
President by wire a comprehensive
plan for relief work by the Red Cross
in coordination with State and coun-
ty commissions. This work would
involve emergency relief and recon-
struction of the devastated areas as
well as a restocking of farms and re-
financing agricultural and business
districts.
Against Extra Session.
It is reasonably safe to say, Mr..
Hoover stated, that the funds at hand
will enable the Red Cross to do its
work on an efficient basis.
President Coolidge was said to feel
that the public generally has respond
ed so we'll to the relief call that there
is no occasion for an extra session
of Congress, especially in view Of the
excellent work that has been done
thus far in relieving the distress Of
food sufferers.
