Postmaster Will Urge
Matter at National Con-
ventiOn in New York.
WILL TAKE DATA
Regional Vice Presidents
Cooperation is Expected
to Aid Cause.

Efforts to put Douglas on an air
mail route will be made by Postmaster
E. j. Huxtable, who leaves WedneS-
day to attend the national postmas-
ters' convention at Niagara Falls
September Is, 16 and II.
Mr.. Huxtable is the only postmaster
in the state of Arizona who will at
tend the convention To him goes the
honor of representing the state.
A number of United States post
masters will attend the meet, and
it is expected that Postmaster Cen
eral Harry New, of Washington D.
G. will also attend.
A general discussion as to the
general efficiency in the postal de-
partment will occupy the greater part
of the time.
However, among other things, the
Air Mail service will be discussed,
and at this time Mr.. Huxtable will
suggest that Douglas be on the regu-
lar route of the United States Air
Mail service.
At the present time the proposed
route is from Ell Paso to Lordsburg
and then to Tucson.
Mr.. Huxtable has been correspond
ing with Colonel Gujot of Ell Paso,
as to the flying conditions between
Douglas and Ell Paso. Colonel Gujot
has been over this route several
times and is well qualified to judge
the conditions.
Mr.. Huxtable will state at the
convention as to the conditions here,
and will also point out that greater
number of people will be served, if the
air route should include Douglas. This
number would include Douglas, Bis
bee, Nacozari and the large mining
companies, rather than going to the
small place of Lordsburg and then
to Tucson without stop in Douglas.
He will also point oGt that Mexi-
co is cooperating with Douglas and
has already given one square mile of
land east of Aqua Prieta, adjacent
to the section secured by Douglas as
the landing field.
He stated yesterday that he would
take maps, and data of all sorts
in an effort to secure the site for
Douglas. He stated that if it was
necessary he would go to Washing
ton, D. G.
Ripley jackson, regional vice pres
ident of the post masters association
will undoubtedly cooperate in the
cause of Douglas, Mr.. Huxtable
stated.
Before going to the convention, Mr..
Huxtable, who will be accompanied
by Mrs. Huxtable, will go to Ottawa,
Canada, where they will visit, then
continuing to Toronto and later to
Niagara Falls

FEAR 7 DOOMED
Pearl HarbOr Experts Fear
Erwin Plane, in Tail
Spin, Crashed.

HONOLULU, Aug. 20 R-With
three airplaneS and their occupants
lost somewhere between the CaliforniN
mainland and the Hawaiian islands,
vagrant and uncomfortable radio mes
sages reporting the missing planes
as having been picked up or seen
electrified searcherS and aroused hope.
BN each message, investigated by
naval vessels or aircraft proved false,
and the hopes that six courageous
men and one brave girl we're about
to be rescued were cruelty dashed.
Radio experts we're loathe to be-
lieve that these radio messages. sent
by individuals who could not be
identified or located, had been sent
as a hoax. They thought. instead,
that they might have been fragments
of conversations concerning the planes
picked up by amateurs who excitedfy
mistook them for the news of the
planes for which the whole world
has been Waiting-the actual sighting
of the wave tossed machines. No
military or commercial stations have
intercepted such messages
After an all night vigil, following
reports that Pilot William P. Erwin
and Navigator A. H. Eichwaldt might
have plunged into the ocean in their
plane Dallas Spirit 600 miles off the
California coast last night, the Pearl
Harbor naval station was snapped
into sudden activity at dawn
An amateur radio operator at Luke
field, reported having intercepted a
part of a message from an INDICATED
ship stating that the Dole flight plane
Golden Eagle had been picked up. A
few minutes later second message
was intercepted saying that the Cold
en- Eagle was being picked up.
Efforts to confirm or trace the
messages we're futile. The Luke field
radio set is not an official army
station 1t is an amateur station.
built and operated by men stationed
there.
The 14th naval district extended the
search today for the missing Dole
planes, sending aircraft and submar-
ines to comb the huge triangular
area north of the island of Hawaii
which previously had been less
searched than other regiouS. Two
patrols of two planes each left tho
Pearl Harbor air station before 7:3O
a. m, fueled for flights Of approxim-
ately 400 miles each.
One patrol went to Molokai island,
around which they planned to swing
through Pailolo channel The second
patrol started for Hama, at the south.

which they we're to return to Lahaina,

TRANS OCEANIC
AIR RACE HAS
PROVEN COSTLY
Three Killed, Seven Miss
ing, and s25O,OOO Ex-
pended for $4,000

SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 20, (P)-The
first trans-oceaff1c air race in his
tory has taken a high toll in men
and money. To date, the record
showed three killed, seven missing
and in excess of 100000 spent to
win the $35, 900 in prizes and fame.
The only contribution to the de-
velopment of commercial aviation
made by the flight, according to av
iation experts, is that a professional
aviator starting on a flight over a
2,400 mile course to, Honolulu has
the odds four to one against his
getting there. Originally there were
thirteen starters in the race who
obtained planes. Three we're killed
en- route to the take off before post
time.
Of the eight planes which actual
ly faced the starters flag, two
stumbled and crashed at the start,
two put back with engine trouble or
damaged planes, two reached Homo
lulu and three are missing today
The third was piloted by Captain
William Erwin, who after being forced
down, started out in search of those
who were missing in the race. James
Dole, donor of the prizes, never con-
tennplated an air race when he Of
fered the awards. He believed, as did
experts in : the aviation world, that
it, would be some months before a
properly financed aerial expedition
could be equipped and sent on it's
way,
Instead, before the National Aero
nautical association had time to
formulate rules and fix a date for
the race, two army lieutenants-
Maitland and Hegenberger accom-
plished the feat for which the prize
was. offered but we're not eligible to
the award.
A few weeks later. with glory as
their only reward, two civilian avia-
tors, Ernie Smith, pilot and Emory
Bronte, navigator, made the dash in
a monoplane and reached an island
in the Hawaiian group just as their
gasoline supply exhausted.

WIFE, TWO DAUGHTERS AND SELF

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 20 R-
Clyde Wilcox, 40, an accountant,
tonight shot and killed his three
year old daughter, Patricia; prob
ably fatally wounded his ten
year old daughter, Cleo; seriously
wounded his wife, Margaret, and
then shot and killed himself.
Efforts were being made at the
hospital to save the life of Cleo,
who at first accounts was said
to have been killed.
At the hospital Mrs. Wilcox
revived sufficiently to tell par;
of the story of the tragedy. She
declared Wilcox had been paying
attention to another woman,
whose uncle had Threatened to
kill Wilcox. Mrs. Wilcox four
days ago purchased a revolver
and gave it to her husband TO
be used in his Defense.
Tonight when he came home
he reproached me for buying an

year old daughter" Mrs. Wilcox

said. 81 answered him by saying
he shouldn't be SO friendly with
this other woman. Then he threw
me on the floor, and when
Melissa heard me scream and ran
into our room, he shot me-"
The eldest daughter, Melissa,
had come home, she told police,
and heard her parents quarreIing
violently. She ran upstairs ana
found that Wilcox had thrown
her mother to the floor. She
tried to pull him away, and Will
cox threw her against the wall
and drew the revolver.
AS Mrs. Wilcox was trying 70
open the door to escape, Wilcox
fired twice. One of the bullets
took effect. Mother and daughter
ran to another room where Mrs.
Wilcox collapsed.
Meanwhile three more shots
sounded from the hallway of the
house. Running back into her
home, Mellisa found her two sis
tiers and her father on the floor.

latter comes into conflict with its control of mar

But assuming for the moment that Kanes pro-
