BELIEVE PLANE DOWN
 AT SEA OFF VIRGINIA
Carrying Photos of Coolidge in Ha |. vana from Daytona, Fla,
 to New York.

Elizabeth City, N. C.. Jan. 19 R) A forced landing at sea in dense fog somewhere off Cape Henry, Vir- ginia, was believed today by coast guardsmen to have been the fate last Monday night of Ted Mosely and a companion, attempting a non- stop flight from Daytona Beach. Fla, to New York. The fliers were carrying news reel pictures of the Havana conference.
 Captain Walter c. Etheridgc, keeper of the Nags Head coastguard station, about 25 miles north of Cape Hatteras. related today how a plane had been observed passing low over the breakers there on Monday night at S:10 o'clock.
 A strong northeast wind was blowing and he regarded the pass ing of . plane under such weather conditions so unusual that he re- ported 1t to other stations along the coast.
 Later he learned that the plane had been sighted at Dam Neck sta tion, six miles south of Virginia Beach, Va.
 Owing to tho heavy fog that hung over the Hatteras region Cap tain Etheridge was unable to iden- tify the craft. but believed it an- swered roughly the descriptions of the Mosely plane.

SENATE CONTINUES SMITH WRANGLE
Unconstitutional to Bar Illinois
 Man Says Shortridge
Photo by Johnson ( Pssseeso

Washington, Jan. 1s R-Hopins to reach q vote before adjournment the senate resumed debate today on the resolution declaring vacant the seat of Frank :. Smith. of Illinois, on the ground that his credentials were tainted with fraud and cor- ruption."
 Although called into session an hour earlier than usual. that move proved of no avail. because the democrats. in a conference precipi- tated by the row between Senators Robinson. of Arkansas. and Heflin, of Alabama. were absent when the session was opened, leaving no quo- rum on the floor.
 The days debate was opcrSA by Senator Shortridge, republican, Call ifornia. who conttnded What while the senate had the strength and power to close the doors against Smith it did not have the constitu- tional right to do so.
 Answering a question yesterday by Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon- tana, as to what he would have done had he been member of tho senate immediately following the Civil War and men who had re- belled against the United States pre- sented credentials, Senator Chort- ridge said that he would have voted to seat them.
 T would have voted to seat the leader. Robert E. Lee and welcomed him back again to take the oath at the, bar" he declared. That is what I reverently believe Abraham Lincoln would have done"

 Included in the first group are i've barns and one dwelling. The house is located on East street and has been unoccupied for some time. The barns are on West Main, Derby and Grove streets.

 Pole Ripped Loose The storm was described by weather officials as a "severe squall." The cloud which carried 1t did not whirl and dip but swept to the earth and tore along at a straight and ter rife rate. they said.
 The wind ripped sixteen foot pole from the B. and o. station and dropped it in a yard two blocks away. Electric signs were ripped apart and their pieces scattered for hundreds of feet.
 Police Chief William Copeland di- rected the relief work. Tramway service was paralyzed and the street railway company pressed its busses into service to aid wherever needed.

 Bezdek was brought Into the Smith case when it was learned that the youth had registered at g Spring field hotel from Jan. to 13 and 8 jeweler of that city reported he had sought to purchase an expensive ring.
 The son of the football coach was said to have explained that his fiancee's father was wealthy and he named S15,ooO as the price he desir- ed to pay. He made an appointment for the following day but failed to keep it.
 The day on which Bezdek checked out of the Springfield hotel was the day before Miss Smith disappeared and in view of tho possible connec- ton between the two facts, Detective Uoseph Daley of the state police hur- ried there accompanied by MT. Smith.
 Later Daley announced it had been established that the intended ring was for Springfield girl and there was no reason to believe Miss Smith had ever met Bezdek.
 Other possibilities which failed, included the story of New York bellboy who thought g girl who had registered at the Hotel Hermitage was the missing student. Relatives who examined the signature on the hotel register said it bore no re- semblance to Mics Smiths writing.
 A similar incident was reported from Troy. W. Y.. where girl who signed herself Pauline Orsh" was described as corresponding in des- cription to Miss Smith. She regis tered last Friday niGht and later told hotel clerks she was leaving for Utica. N. Y. Photostatic copies of her signature have been mailed here.

Orders at Prison

Hartford. Jan. 19 R-As a pre- caution against the smallpox epidem- ic which has hit Middlesex and New Haven counties. Warden H. K. w. Scott of the Connecticut state prison at Wethersfield today announced that visitors from those two counties would not be permitted at the prison.
 There had been a ban against visitors from Middlesex county for the last several days. but now that smallpox has invaded New Haven county the warden has made the fact of the ban public and has in- cluded New Haven counties visitors in the list.
 Warden Scott also announced that packages for prisoners. sent from the two counties would not be received at the prison.
 No Cases as Yet
 This measure has been taken purely as a precaution. for although there are no cases of smallpox at he prison and every prisoner has been vaccinated. he believes too great care cannot be exercised and especially in view of the fact that the disease has spread so rapidly in the territory 50 close to the prison.
 singularly enough there have been no visitors at the prison from either of the affected counties since the outbreak of smallpox. The an- nouncement is made at this time. however, as a notification to those who may be contemplating visiting relatives at the prison or sending packages to them.
 Many of the packages received at the prison contain articles Of under. wear and similar clothing, which tho warden believes would be an invita- ton to disaster If permitted from Middlesex and New Haven counties.

RepOrts from Troy

Troy. N. Y., Jan. 19 (UP)-Re- ports that a girl resembling Miss Francis St. John Smith, missing Smith college freshman. was regis tered at a local hotel Friday night, gained some credence today when detectives announced that the name signed to the register bore close re- semblance to the missing students handwritinE.
 Photographic copies of the sigma ture have ben sent to Northampton by Troy police, at the request of Joseph Daley, Massachusetts state detective.

Miss May Hammond. a friend of the Smith family at Northampton. said over the long distance telephone that the missing girl was a pianist and very fond of music.
