Rochester, N. Y, arrived at the Oak
land airport early today in his pursuit
of Miss Ruth Mcconnell. pretty 26-
year-old musician, who reached the

planation that she had left Rochester
three weeks ago to escape matrimcny
and the ministrations of physicians.
Meeker left the airport for an unan-
nounced destination upon landing at
am. in an air mail plane from Reno,
New. Miss Mcconnell checked out of
her hotel here yesterday, and was N
seclusion today
The medical student followed the girl
across the continent at the request of
Kenneth B. Coulter, wealthy New York
broker, and friend of the Mcconnell
family, who said she had been Ill, and
explained that he was interested in her
welfare.
On her arrival yesterday, Miss Nc
Connell asserted that she left Rochester
to avoid marrying Coulter, and to es-
cape physicians and relatives who were
too solicitous."
Meeker took of from Reno in the air
mail plane, after the plane he had
chartered at Omaha Wednesday in an
effort to overtake Miss McConnell'S S
train, was forced down near there late
yesterday.

was hurt. The family of the injured
man was called to learn if they were
of the family of Job James. They were
not. but Job James, they said, lived
near a small town in this section.
Mrs. Braddock investigated and finally
found her brother, a farmer.

GRAND CANYON, Ariz., December
21.-Belief that Mr., and Mrs. Glenn
Hyde, who disappeared while navigat-
ing the treacherous water OF the Colo
RADIO River on a hazardous honeymoon
adventure, still are alive Spurred volun-
teers onward today in search of the

secrets closely. A three-day airplane
search, in which Lieuts. John Quincy
Adams and w. G. Plummer, Army avi-
ators, risked their lives by flying below
the rocky canyon walls of the Colorado,
ended yesterday after having been par
tally successful.
The Army airmen, descending 5000
feet into the canyon until they were but
so feet above the swirling water,
Wednesday located the homemade scow
in which the honeymooners started
down the river. 1t was stranded on the
waters edge at Separation Rapids, Is
miles below Diamond Greek.
Find No Further Trace.
The aviators flew down into the can
yon again yesterday, but found no fud-
ther trace of the missing couple, who
left here a month ago. They observed,
however, that the scow was intact and
that suitcases and other supplies car
ried by Mr. and Mrs. Hyde we're in the
boat. This gave rise to the belief that
the honeymooners may have abandoned
the scow and now are wandering over
nearby waste lands in an effort to find
their way back to civilization.
The hunt now devolveS upon the boat
and foot parties, already engaged in
tedius search for foot prints, in an effort

turesome couple escaped the rapids
