ROME DEEPLY ANXIOUS.
Crowds, Mussolini and Pope Seek News
of Missing Men.

ROME, September s R.-"What
has happened to Old Glory?" was the
question on scores or thousands OF
Inns this morning as Rome awaited
with deep anxiety for news OF the OAR
ing flyers who were trying to shorten
the distance between the modern and
the ancient worlds.
Crowds last night and this morning
waited patiently before bulletin boards'
and special editions of the newspapers
were snapped up eagerly for the
scraps of news which they contained.
Not for long time has the popu.
lation of the ternal city manifested
such an intense personal concern in
the success of a foreign enterprise.
Although the general populace was
Welding reluctantly to- the pessimistlc
hvpotheses of officials, the public con-
tinued to be hopeful that the lack OF
news might mean simply the failure
of the radio apparatus to function.
Pope Kept Informed.
At the Vatican constant communi-
cation was being maintained with
newspaper Offices and Pope Plus was
being personally informed at regular
intervals of the progress Of the search.
1t was learned that the pontif had
the fate of the flyers and was praying
earnestly that the accident which had
interrupted their mission to the
italian capital might not also mean
their death.
Premier Mussolfni also was being
kept in constant touch with events by
aeronautical officials. When he went
this morning to the Capitol to deliver
a speech before the Congress on the
scientific organization of labor orders
were given to inform him of any new
developments during his presence
there.
Mayor Walker Seeks News.
One of the first questions asked by
Mayor Walker of New York on his
arrival this morning from Venice was
about the crew of Old Glory.
Notwithstanding the black outlook,
everything was being kept in readi-
ness at Ciampinno and other air fields
for the possible arrival Of the ayiators.

TONOPAH. New, March o.
Wccpah, spelled the magic word
'gold' today.
A frenzied atmosphere of excite.
ment hangs over that boom camp
which overnight has become the
mecca of the southwest s treasure
seekers, and another "ghost city y
Of the west is III the making.
White tents are supplementing
the few buildings that constituted
Weepah and the mad rush that
characterized the discovery of gold
at Rawhide. Goldfield, Rhyolite and
Manhattan q decade or more ago, IS
in progress.
Tonopah already is taking on the
atmosphere of the early davs Of the
west when thousands of dollars in
twenty. dollar gold pieces were piled
high on poker tables, and roulette
wheels droned for "a hours 4 day,
with the chaotic tumult resting at
intervals while men who were too
slow to "draw' left the realm of
the living.
Eight to 10 miles in all directions
from the site of the original strike,
rrospectors have stakcd out claims.
Officials said that there is no posi-
BILE means of checking locations, as
prospectors have stakod with such
abandon that clashes appear inevi-
table before they are Strengthened
out.
While some mining men believe
that a modern camp of at least TO-
eco bustling inhabitants will rise in
the sector, others are frank IN ex-
pressing fear that the Vein will
pinch out and prove another dust
err
The bar of the old days will prob
ably be non-existant in the new
camp. but the "speakeasy' with
its fiery draughts has already made
its appearance where the men
who toll for gold crave to sati-
ate their thirsts.
Already dance hall proprietors
are planning to install their pavll-
ions. and commission girls will
lend color to night life of the camp,
with modern Jazz tunes supplanting
the waltZes and polkas of yester'
year.
Trains and automobiles are bring
ing their increasing quota of but
tcrflies'' so that rouged lips, lifting
melodies and vaudeville gags can
be incorporated in the program of
things for the new citizenry of
Weepah.
The problem of caring for the
crowd has already become serious.
".What are we going to do with
them'" is the question on the lips
of the hotel and rooming house
managers. All available sleeping
accommodations are rapidly being
sold at prices that have already
shown meteorlike tendencies.
Booms in the mining district are
perennial. Last year it was Kramer
