CAvE-IN OF SEWER
IMPERILS BUILDINGS
Power Plant in Evansville, Ind,
Ordered Closed to Relieve
Danger.
BY the Associated Press,

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June 1S.-A
cave-in of a sewer that empties into
the Ohio Piver near the Evansville
business district became so enlarged
yesterday that it threatened several
large buildings on the river front.
To avert further collapse Of the
sewer officials ordered +'e closing OF
the Southern Indiana Gas & Power
plant that pours great amount OF
water into the sewer.
This plant supplies Evansville and
several Southern Indiana cities with
power.
The property loss. 1t is estimated,
will run into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. With the cave-in nearly
100 feet wide. SO feet deep and about
900 feet long, eating it's way from
the waters edge at the rate Of 10 feet
an hour. it was feared that within
a few hours, had the power plant
continued to operate, two of the
largest buildings on the water front
would be engulfed.
Although shutting off the power
plant apparently saved the water
front buildings the discrimination of
power meant the closing down of fac
tories and commercial houses. 1t is
estimated that it will take two days
to repair the sewer.

Tommy Armour of the Congressional
County Club, newly crowned open golf
champion Of the United States. came
home to Washington today and found
thu city's golfers preparing one of the
greatest receptions ever given an indi-
vidual winner in the annals Of sport
in Washington. Although Armour was
met at the train early day by not
more than half hundred members of
his own club and friends of the new
champion, the reception to come later
in the day at Congressional was ex.
pected to make up for any lack of
cordiality at the station.
Hundreds of club members and
fri~ld; of the new title holder have
arranged a reception for him this aft
ernoon at the Congressional that it's
sponsors say will bring home to
Armour just what the Capital thinks
of the new champion. Accompanied

sentative from Ohio and president OF
the club; J. r. McCarl, controller gen

U. s. PLANS BIG AUXILIARY CUT.
Prepared to Make Real Sacrifice, Glib
son TO Disclose.
BY David LAWRENCE.

The United States Government is
prepared to make q real sacrifice in
cutting down its auxiliary naval craft.
Ambassador Hugh Gibson, chairman
of the American delegation to the
armament conference, which opens at
Geneva, Switzerland, Monday, has
been instructed in his first statement
to indicate the far reaching character
of Americas proposal to- reduce naval
armament.
Just as Secretary Hughes in the
Autumn of 1921 startled the world by
his announcement of what the United
States WAS willing to do in limiting
construction of battleships, SO today
America is ready to lay all the cards
on the table face up and accept a
reduction in the tonnage OF cruisers.

LONDON, June 1S.-The most en-
thusiastic friends of the League of
Nations in London cannot conceal
their disappointment at the failure of
the league council even to approach
any of the serious international ques-
tions which are threatening the peace
of Europe.
In the light of the failure of this
meeting at Geneva, most Enghsh
pacifists are seriously worried about
the outcome of the naval disarmament
conference which opens Monday. Brit
ish naval authorities claim not to
know the nature of the American pro-
posals, which so far have been kept
secret, but they emphasize the fact
that they are going to Geneva to dis
cuss Limitation, not. reduction OF
strength of auxiliary craft of the re-
spectiye navies.
The delegation is instructed to con-
slider benevolently any proposals whlch
the United States may put forward,
but the members have been warned
not to forget that the British govern
ment is committed to nothing except
benevolent consideration"
The British government is abso-
Iutely sure of Japanese support OF
the fundamental principle that ton
mage of cruisers and destroyers might
be reduced so far as displacement is
concerned, but their number cannot
be limited as in the case of battle
ships" The British experts expect
stubborn opposition from their Ameri-
can colleagues, who desire ratio re-
duction, but the writer is Informed
the British delegation will prefer in
definite adjournment than to give In to
the American viewpoint.

Merchants making the Boosters trip
Of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association arrived at Old Point Com
fort this morning and prepared to
journey to Langley Field, for the first
inland feature of the outing.
Following breakfast aboard the
steamer, which was chartered for the
traditional voyage, the Boosters dis
embarked at the Virginia port town,
and took electric cars to the Army
Air Field, where they will witness an
air demonstration staged through the
cooperation sDf the national advisory
committee on aeronautics and Maj

four groups and will make a close in
spection of the facilities of the air
field, witness air demonstrations and
will be shown activities in research
and experimental aviation work car
ried on by the national advisory COM
mittee on aeronautics. The boosters
will study the airplane developments
at Langley Field with the thought
OF seeking to promote commercial air
service to and from Washington, a
question now before the District Com

After two hours spent at Langley

Among official guests were Commits

due to the crowded condition at the
wharf and a heavy tide which held
the Southland close against the S. S.

fire boat of the Metropolitan Fire De-

many years i'm the Washington hac-
Dor, steamed ahead to below Hains
Point and as the boosters ship passed
turned on all it's firefighting lines,
sending eight streams of water into
the air in salute.
The merchants had another thrill
when the Army blimp, T Go, which
was passing low over Hams Point,
dipped it's nose in salute.

BYRD IS REPORTED
PLANNING ASLONG
HOP AS POSSIBLE
May Continue Beyond Paris
Until Gasoline Supply
Is Exhausted.
TAKE-OFF POSTPONED
UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT
Fourth Member of Crew Not
Chosen-Will Not Be Woman,
Commander Says.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 18.-Curiosity
as to a fourth member Of the crew
on the projected transatlantic flight
of Comdr. Richard E. Byrd's giant
America, ran high today
as unfavorable weather over the
North Atlantic caused postponement
of the take-off at least until tomorrow
night.
Comdr. Byrd said he had been
deluged with applications from per-
sons desirous of making the flight to
Paris in the America. Many Of these
requests, he said, had come from
women, but "the fourth, if there is
one, will be a man." he said.
While Byrd withheld definite an
nouncement as to the probable fourth
member, followers of the flight specu-
lated whether a newspaper reporter,
to act as official historian. or a pas
senger would be carried.
Pole Fight Aide May Go.
Some reports were that Lieut..
Bernt Balchen. former Norwegian
naval officer, who was associated with
Byrd in his flight to the North Pole
and has been active in preparing the
America for it's fight, would be the
fourth member.
The present members Of the crew are
Bert Acosta and Lieut.. George o. No.
Vile.
''We are carrying 1900 gallons of
gasoline. sufficient to take four to
Paris and beyond" Byrd said.
A report that the America, instead of
landing at LIE Bourget Field in Paris
would continue until it's gasoline sup.
ply was exhausted gained credence at
the Byrd hangar at Roosevelt Field.
All Ready for Hop-Off.
The plane now has a cruising radius
of nearly $500 miles, almost 900
more than the distance to Paris. Thir.
teen hundred gallons of gasoline is
enough gasoline to keep it in the air
42 hours.
Compasses on the craft have besn
adjusted and nothing now remains but
to place the plane on the runway and
fill its fuel tanks.
Starting time is entirely contingent
on weather conditions. Byrd said
Even though conditions may improve
over the Atlantic tomorrow, the flyer
said 1t would take many hours be.
fore settled weather prevailed, in
which event the hop-of would not take
place before Monday.

MISSING MAN BELIEVED
SLAIN FIVE YEARS AGO
Police Con tinue Search for Body as
Result of Revelations Made
by Life-Termer.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated RfeSH.
WEBSTER SPRINGS, w. Va,
June 18.-County authorities today
continued their search for the body of
Andrew Mills. missing from his home
at Dyer, w. Va, for five years, in the
belief that he was slain. The search
was begun as a result Of revelations
made here by Dill Hall, now serving a
lifo term for his part in the Staying of
George Bennett, whose )dy was
found in an abandoned mine near here
a year ago.
During the trial of three other men
indicted in connection with Benefits
death, Hall was brought from the
State penitentiary to testify. While
here he was reported to have said he
had knowledge of another Staying and
that the body of the victim was
thrown into Back Fork. a small
stream about a mile from Webster
Springs. Police believe Mills, whose
disappearance coincided with the date
Hall set for the Staying, was the VIC
tim.
With this slender clue to follow, au-
thorities began draining the stream,
but their efforts had been fruitless
early today.
