factory workers stood silently in
Oak Park at noon today while
l.. E. Durham, director of re-
IigiOuS work for the local Y. M.
G. A. offered prayers for the
beloved little school ma'am"
who took off on the flight de-
claring that "life is game of
chance anyway" and asked that
she be returned to us ST ely"
Other services are to be held
in every factory where religious

MISS DORAN'S HOME TURNS TO
PRAYER, AS HOPE NEARLY LEAVES

Journal a few hours before the
take-Off from Oakland Tuesday,
expecting to be the first to hear
of her safe arrival at Wheeler
Field. With the exception of one
or two brief periods of sleep he
has been there constantly wait
ing for some word to bear out his
early confidence that his sister
would "cOme through" safely.
The word came last night only
to be denied later, and young
Doran, who had gone home happy,
returned immediately to watch
and wait.
Mildred will come through" he
insisted; "she's too good to go that
way" There were many who shared
his confidence in the early hours of
watching, but as the time sped by
even the youths courage wavered
He broke down momentarily at noon
today and left the newspaper office
to "walk around" He pulled himself
together shortly and resumed his
post, refusing to give up, but plainly
less confident.
Sharing Williams anxiety is Helen
Doran, Ii year old sister, who looks
to Mildred both as mother and as a
"big sister," The little girl has re-
fused sleep and keeps in constant
touch by telephone with her brother.
Mildreds father held to his deter
minatiOn to remain at his farm in
TiSville and wait "until the right

Alhambra Operator Says
Girl Found Dead, Man
Alive, on Raft.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, tP--Both
the federal telegraph company and
isthe Radio Corporation of America
discounted report made today by
E. W. Leroy, Alhambra radio opera
| tor, that he had picked up a radio
flash from a passenger ship in mid
ocean which presumably meant that
Miss Mildred Doran had been found
dead on a raft with a single live
companion The message read;,
Passenger ship reports girl found
dead, man alive on life raft 9:12 a..
M Picked up raft. Sank plane at
sight"
1t was pointed out by the Federal
Telegraph company that Leroy re-
ceived the message on 40 to AZ
meter wave length whereas all pass
enger ships carrying radio have 600
to 700 meter have lengths. Conse-
quently, stated the experts, it would
have been impossible for Leroy to
have picked up message from a. ship
1000 miles or more at sea-
No passenger ships of any sort are
known to be in the vicinity in which
Leroy's message would place them,

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10, B-
Federal radio officials here were en-
deavoring today to check the source
of the message E. w. Leroy, amateur
radio operator of Alhambra reported
he intercepted, saying that a derelict
airplane and life raft carrying a
man and the body of a dead woman
had been picked up at sea.
Leroy was reported to have re-
ceived the message on a wave length
between 40 and AZ meters.
B. H. Linden, United States Super
visor of radio in this district de-
clared today that he knew of only
five vessels on the Pacific licensed
to transmit radio messages on short

schooner Kaimiola motor yacht Four

No Trace of Missing Dole

HOPE RECEDlNG

Than "a Hours, Said.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10 up -
Twenty-four submarines tin u ed
their search of the. Pacific until night
fell in quest of two airplanes, the
Miss Doran and Golden Eagle, and
their occupants, one woman and four
men, added to this was the elaborate
machinery of the aviation forces OF
the United States army and navy
which sent planes up from both coast
and mid-ocean points in search for
the missing Dole fliers. The search
will be continued at dawn.
No word came, however, after hours
of cruising along routes far from the
steamer lanes, into the recesSes of re-
mote island harbor and deserted
beaches Failure to find trace of the
courageous airrnen more THAN 100
hours after they put out in the aerial
derby, gave rise TO more intense ef-
forts on the part of searching forces
But it seemed as though every track
had been covered or would be soon.
The weather continued to offer the
greatest hope for the missing airmen.
1t seemed ideal along the great circle
taken by the fliers, if they didn't get
off their set course. There was a
prospect for a smooth sea for three
or four days longer. This would per-
NIT the inflated rubber life boats to
float while the occupants scanned the
horizon or send smoke flares into the
air by day and rockets at night.
The Miss Doran could not remain
in the water longer than "a hours in
the opinion of aviation experts here.
TINS would have put the occupants of
the plane out into the rubber life boat
about Thursday noon, assuming that
the plane crUised until the gasoline
supply exhausted. If it was crashed
into a forced landing at sea, or soon
after it left Oakland, the occupants
would just have time to escape with
their rubber life boat providing they
were uninjured in the landing.
While the rubber life boat carried
by the miss Doran, would carry three
persons in fair weather, it would be a
difficult task to keep the boat afloat
in squall at sea, experts pointed
out. Carrying two men and woman,
the boat might hold indefinitely in
fair weather, however.
The late John Rodgers, who was
forced down at sea, while flying to
Honolulu in 1925, was not found until
after he had floated about with his
crew of four for nine days. Their
craft, however, was seaplane, capable
of remaining afloat indefinitely.

1t was reiterated that work would
have been farther along on the build
ing program if congress had accepted
the administration proposal last ses-
sion to authorize ten additional cruiS-
erS but to withhold money for i'm
mediate construction along with the
money for the last three of the prev
iously eight authorized cruisers.
Congress decided to vote funds for
these three cruisers. However, the
president feels it is of no serious con-
sequence and he will recommend ad-
ditional money next session to COM
plete these three ships.
Mr.. Coolidge is not willing, though,
to resort to supplemental appropria-
tionS for carrying on naval conStruc-
ton, believing no emergency exists
and believing also that this work
should be cared for by congress in its
regular way. Therefore, only the
work previously authorized for this
year will be finished.
1t was emphasized again today that
the president hopes to see the United
States merchant marine transferred to
private interests provided suitable
guarantees are received for it's con-
tinued operation. He considered there
is no chance for any expansion of the
government lines, it being recalled that
the last building program resulted in
loss of 3,000,000,00O.
While the government operates a
large number of ships with a great
deal of safety Mr. Coolidge feels that
nevertheless no one can fail to be
impressed with the fact that few, if
any, are making profit when the
capital outlay is taken into considera-
ton.
If the war department finds that it
is within the governments policy, the
president will recommend a distin-
guished flying cross for Clarence
Chamberlin, New York to Germany
flier, by special act of congress. This
is the only way by which the flyer
could be honored, it was said. Fhe
president has been informed that
Chamberlin does not now qualify be-
cause he was not in the governments
defense force when the flight was
made.

With the final refusal of Mass
achusetts courts to intervene in
the sentence Of death imposed on
SaccO and Vanzetti, precautions
have been renewed to protect
lives and property in many cities.
Police vigilance in Boston was
intensified, while special guards
were renewed in New York, Chi
cago and Paris.
Traffic barriers were erected
again in all streets surrounding
the Charleston prison, where
Sacco and Vanzetti were removed
to the death house. Streets had
been opened when the 12-day re-
spite from execution, which ends
Monday, was granted.
The greatest police guard in the
history Of New York, stationed
about public buildings, subway and
elevated stations following the
subway bOmbings two weeks ago,
but discontinued when the con-
demned radicals were granted the
12-day respite, was resumed.
An increased guard was placed
about the federal building in Chi
cagO, emergency riot squads were
kept in readiness at police head
quarters and known radical lead
ers were shadDwed by plain clothes
men.
In Paris guards were stationed
at the American, Spanish and Ital-
ian embassies under instructions
to examine all persons approach
ing the buildings. Postal Of
ficiaIs were ordered to scrutinize
all mail for the embassies.
Guards were again stationed
about the federal building in
Pittsburgh.
Several public utilities in New
England requested that their prop
erty be guarded.
. Police and guards were station
ed about the electric power and
telephone buildings in Fall River,
Mass, and the telephone exchange
in Concord, N. H., was protected.
The capital and other public
buildings in Providence, r. l.,
were also placed under police Sur
veilIance.

Period of Weakness

Chicago, Feb. 1O.-L<p)-With pri-
mary receipts falling off, reports
that farm reserves in the southwest
are as low as they usually are
around April helped to lift wheat
values today. Trade, however. lacked
volume, and fluctuations were mar
row. Comparatively little attention
was given today to the Washington
legislative situation.
Wheat closed unsettled u to l
cent net higher, corn " cent To ~

changed to a rise Of IL cents.
Corn and oats swaycd with wheat,
corn opening unchanged TO Il cent
lower. and subsequently scoring
gains.
Provisions held stcad-.
In some quarters, more disposition
was shown by wheat traders today to
pay attention to domestic new crop
developments. For example, special
notice was taken Of Indiana reports
that with entire disappearance OF
snow throughout the state, wheat il
now fully exposed. It was pointed
out that under such circumstances d
sudden freeze may prove serious.
On the other hand. various trad.
authorities contcnded that it is toe
early yet to pass any positive opinion
on the home wheat crop outlook
Texas, however, the earliest state o,
, all, is known to have increased acre
age rs per cent, and the country:
winter crop taken as whole ha!
plenty Of moisture to start with.
