WASHINGTON, March Re
ported finding of an oil spot twenty
five feet in diameter, ten miles north
of Annapolis, Md, sent surface craft
from the United States Naval Acad-
envy to the vicinity today in search
of three Navy fliers who hoped off
for Annapolis from Hampton Roads,
Va, early Monday and we're not
heard from again.
Meanwhile the tug Choctaw and
a motor launch left Hampton Roads
for Horn Harbor, Va. to search the
expanse of water there following
Rear Admiral Coontz's statement
that he had authentic information
the missing plane flew low over the
harbor at 2:30 a. m. Monday.
Three separate informantS said
they heard the planes motor stop

STRICT WATER
SAVING PLANNED
FOR SUNNYS|OE
Will Enable Hospital to
Operate Pending Plant
Erection.

A strict water conservation plain
is being adhered to at SunnySide
tuberculosis Sanatorium to pre-
ve interruption of hospital serv-
ice pending installation of the new
$4,000 water plant now contem-
plated.
Under ordinary conditions the in
stitution would be able to operate
successfully during the five months
it would take to install the sedi-
mentation bed type of plant, should
this be decided on. engineers have
assured county commissioners.
The plan, as recommended by
Harry Best, engineer, will be passed
on to the county council at a special
as soon as preliminaries can
be disposed with Commission Presi-
dent Cassius L. Hogle said today.
Save $4,000 Gallons
A daily saving of $4,000 gallons OF
water already has been effected, by
the regulation OF faucets, showers
and other water outlets, Engineer
Harry Best told the officials.
AS far as daily consumption of
water is concerned, present supply is
adequate.
The fact still stares officials in
the face that Sl,000,000 county in
stitution would be at the mercy Of
a fire should one occur.
This fact is pointed to by Best
in his report. There are no fire
hydrants on the premises" said the
report. Provision has been made
on the interior by extinguishers and
hose, but these devices are only eff
fective for fighting fire in its
initial stages.
Recommended HydrantS
II recommend that two hydrants
be installed. one near the road in
the water line that leads from the
boiler house toward the Admins
'tration Bldg, and the other near
the road on the line from the Sol
diers' Bldg. to the Children's Bldg"
These two, with 500 feet of hose,
would make stream of water avail
able on any part of the institution,
Best said.
BeSt's plan would afford a storage
capacity of 100000 gallons, compared
to the $4,000 gallons now available.
Save Fuel Bill
The conservation of water ordered
by Superintendent Harold S. Hatch
at the suggestion of Best will mot
only result in a longer life for the
wells" the report said, but will also
be evidenced in saving in the fuel
bill, because less steam will be used
for the operation of the pumps and
the heating of the water
Best is chief engineer of a Louis
vile sewage disposal plant. His firm
would not bid on the sedimentation
plans at Sunnyside nor any other
part of the contemplated plan, il
his plan is adopted. he said. His
services are not costing the county.
BY the conservation plan, the per
capita daily consumption of water
has been cut down from in excess
OF 220 gallons to approximately $50
gallons, the recognized maximum
for institutions like Sunnyside.

SPUR SLAYER HUNT
Seek Doctor in Torch Death
of G0VerneSS.

BIZ ENited Press
NEW YORK, March Police be-
lieved today that at last they had an
accurate description of the man
who murdered Miss Margaret Brown
last week by burning her in pool
of gasoline.
Several hundred searchers were
looking for specific person, de-
scribed as a doctor, and a former
sISScr of the Park Ave. child's tutor.
The description was furnished to ali
the searchers.
The theory that a body found
hanging from a tree near Sayreville,
N. j., might have been the slayer,
was discounted by police. The man
found dead was believed to have
been a laborer.
Police we're not inclined to rele-
gate the fire murder" to the list
of unsolved mysteries, despite the
numerous false alarms of the last
week and the apparently fruitless
efforts to get line on the muir
derer.

Files Suit for Custody
OfDaughter i'm Content
Mother Claims Husband
Placed Girl in Institution
After Divorce.

Mrs. Rhoda Doty, 800 Fletcher
Ave, today asked Marion Superior
Court to return to her the custody Of
her 16-year-old daughter now in a
Catholic convent.
The daughter, Velma Van Kirk,
is in the Convent Of the Good
Shepherd, Ill Raymond ST., the
habeas corpus suit alleges. The di
vorced husband, William Van Kirk,
is accused of placing her there with
out the KNOWLEDGE of the mother.
Trouble Started in 1914
The girl is described by sisters at
the convent as we'll disciplined and
interested in her work.
The trouble arose back in 1914
when Mr.. and Mrs. Van Kirk wer
divorced in ST. Joseph County, In
diana. Of which South Bend is the
County seat. The custody of the
child was awarded TO the mother.
The suit alleges that in March,
1923. Velma Van Kirk was visiting
her father, and that the two left
for destinations unknown to the
mother.
Father Took Girl
Some time later the father is
alleged in the suit to have turned
his daughter over to the board of
children's guardians OF st. Joseph
County, on the grounds that the
mother was dead.
Convent sisters said Velma came
to them almost a year ago from an
institution at Wabash, where she
had stayed after being turned over
to the guardians board by the
father.
Whereabouts Of the father are not
given. The board of guardians and
the convent are made defendants
in the habeas corpus suit.

Death STRIKES
DOWN ITALYS
VICTORY DUKE
Gen. Armando Diaz Led
Men to Brilliant World
War Victories.

BIZ UHitcd Press
ROME, March 1.-Two of the
great generals of the World War
whose brilliant successes aided in
the allied victory, today were joined
in death.
Gen. Armando Diaz, known as
"The Duke of Victory" and whose
brilliant success in the Battle OF
Vittorio Vencto was the turning
roint fer Italian victory against the
Austrians, died last night, just a
fortnight after the death of Earl
Hail. Great Britains wartime field
marshal
AS in the case of Earl Haig, Diaz'
death came suddenly and brought
deepest mourning to an adoring ma
ton.
Spent Life as Warrior
Diaz had been interested in war
fare since childhood. From the
DAYS of his maturity he had been
a warrior. And he died warriors
death, for wound received in battle
were believed indirectly attributable
to his demise.
He became i'll Saturday after at
tending the opening performance
of the Royal Opera House. Grip
developed, which in turn brought
on bronchial pneumonia. His con-
dition was particularly susceptible
to this ailment, owing to an inn
pairment of his breathing system,
due to a bullet wound he received
in the chest in the Libyan cam
paign when he was colonel.
His widow had been taken from
the room a few minutes previous to
the generals death. She collapsed
when Diaz' final sinking spell
started.
The generals death occurred in
the villa presented him by the
Italian Government as recognition
of his success in the engagement of
Vittorio Veneto. It had become al
most shrine for the hero-loving
italians.
Ancestors Were Fighters
Immediately after the marshals
death King Victor Emmanuel sent
his e-camp, General Cittadini,
with condolences for the widow and
children. Premier Benito Mussolini
sent Undersecretary Cavallero with
expressions of regret.
The body of the field marshal
will be wrapped in an Italian flag,
as he had requested. and will lie in
state with high ranking army off,
GERS as a guard of honor. No flu
neral plans have been made, but this
will be at government expense.
For years General Diaz was rated
as distinguished military figure.
His ancestors had fought in the
Napoleonic wars and he had been
a student of military affairs since
childhood.
