Indifference Cause for Expulsion
 Howl at Hotel Food

1 Bylaws of the Lions club, which are similar to those of other civic organizations requiring attendance a certain percentage of the time at meetings, will be enforced from now on, according to action taken at the luncheon meeting at the Burritt hotel today. It also was voted to appoint a committee to discuss menu problems with the management of the hotel.
 It was an "All Lions" meeting and there was nothing on the program except the discussion of a resolution to collect dues and luncheon fees quarterly i'll advance.
 In the course of the discussion. former Mayor George A. Quigley took occasion to criticise the meals served by the hotel to the club. Mir. Quigley's criticisms were severe in many respects and he freely blamed the food for the poor attendance record.
 Councilman Thure w. Bengston said there is criticism about the food. He said he saw no reason why the clubs could not get the same a la carte service given in the dining room for the same price.
 A resolution offered as substi- tute by Harry G. Hancock that ab- sent members be assessed 50 cents per meeting. was withdrawn when it did not meet the popular approval.
 l.. w. Vogel suggested that the club officers carry out the bylaws of the organization and drop the members who are simply window dressing on the books of the club"
 Colonel w. w. Bullen said the fault is not the dinners or the speak, CTS but the members themselves and intimated that the members should more consistently live up to their ob- ligations.
 Mr. Quiglcy said. Three things are needed: Good meals. good speak CTS and good fellowship"
 Secretary James F.. O'Brien ex- plained how negligent members have been dropped before and outlined the discretionary powers vested in the directors in this rule.
 Robert c. Vance suggested stick ing to the present method of col lecting. but asking a higher price when there is an unusually attrac- tive speaker and thus creating a small surplus.
 Past President r. F. King said he could not see anything for the club to gain by forcing men to attend meetings who did not attend volun- tarily. He said he gets more kick out of sitting at a table and ex- changing ideas with the men, and so far as he is concerned the club can dispense with entertainment and speakers. He said it would be bet. ter for the club to drop members who find no attraction in the meet ings.
 A motion made by Mr Hancock requires the directors to drop such members as have lost the spirit of Lionism. A motion made by Mir. Quigley directed President Harry c. Brown to appoint a committee of three to confer with the hotel man. agement in the interests of more attractive meals.

McGrath. court stenographer. and Policeman Wardstrom, Hopes guard.
 MT. Carlson explained to the court that the state was anxious to have Hoppe presented so that it could ask for continuance and then, upon proper medical advice have the man removed to a place where he would be less likely to es- cape. The prosecutor pointed out to the court that the police had infor- nation linking the man with sever- al previous crimes as well as escap- ing from penitentiary. He added that the hospital authorities desired his removal from that place. Mr. Covello stated that the court had no right to come into Hopes room at the hospital and make a disposition of the case and, in his opinion the police were adequately equipped to guard against Hopes escape if that was the reason why the state wr anxious for his removal
 The court was adjourned at 11:30 and at noon the police ambulance was at St. Francis ready to remove Hoppe to the City hospital.
 The case was continued 10 March 16 under bonds of s25,0oo.

Critically Ill

 Before daybreak yesterday Com mander T. G. Ellyson, executive of ficer of the airplane carrier Lexing- ton, received word at Hampton Roads. Va, that Mildred was seri- ously i'll. He immediately ordered out an amphibian plane and pro- ceeded to fly up the Chesapeake.
 Two others from the ship decided to go with him. They were Lieu tenant Commander Hugo Schmidt and Lieutenant Commander Roger Ransehousen.
 The three departed in the dark ness on what they expected would he two hour trip. They were not heard from again.
 
 terday for the missing men, believ- ing they had been forced down in an arm of the Chesapeake or in some brushy area off Virginia or Maryland. Ellyson's wife became anxious. She was told her hus- bands hop-off had been delayed.
 Today Mildred's condition was pronounced ''still critical" Neither she nor her mother knew that more than a score of navy planes left at daybreak today to resume the hunt for Ellyson. Air searchers took off from Anacostia station here. from Hampton Roads. from Annapolis and from the Lexington.
 Major General James l.. Fechet. chief of the army air service, sent Langley Field, Va, instructions to send both army blimps to search along the west shore of the Chesa- peake and in inlets Ind river mouths.
 Hope that the fliers would be found alive was about abandoned at navy headquarters here at noon, but the search continued under a plan devised by Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz. commandant at Hampton Roads.

Ransehousen Piloting

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 2s R-While an exhaustive search was being conducted in Chesapeake bay marshes for Commander Ellyson and his two companions, it was made public at the Hampton Roads naval air station today that Lieu tenant Commander Ransehousen was at the controls when the plane left for Annapolis.
 The disappearance of the plane is baffling naval airmen at the sta- tion. Some suggested that the fail ure to find the aviators might in dicate the plane was forced down by shortage of gasoline or engine trouble. made bad landing in the water and sank. Amphibian planes. it was pointed out, are flying boats, not pontoon planes. When they crash on the water they often sink. having no air chambers to support them and a heavy motor to add to their weight.
 Broadcast Account
 At the request of the navy, radio station WTAR of this city broad cast an account of the disappear ance of the fliers and requested any person who had information of the amphibian plane or it's passengers to communicate with the naval air station.

Four of the planes flew over the central section of the bay, four more surveyed the eastern shore, and nine others were assigned to separate areas extending 30 miles inland from the western shore.
 Another plane was making a tour of all bay lighthouses for any in- formation regarding the lost men, and the remainder of the searching force was in the area about Annapo- lis.
 Coast guard and radio stations al- so were asked to join in the search.
 Norfolk, Va, Feb. 2S % - The search for information of the whereabouts of the lost plane and it's three passengers has brought to light these facts:
 Two minutes after the plane hopped off it was seen and heard by the keeper of tAe Thimble Shoals lighthouse. Forty minutes later it passed close to the Penn sylvania railroad tug Salisbury, be- tween Old Point Comfort and Cape Charles; at 2:32 o'clock yesterday morning 1t was seen and heard by J. A. Byrd. train dispatcher for the Pennsylvania railroad at Cape Charles.
 Seen from Salisbury
 When seen from the Salisbury by L. s. Diggs, member of the crew, the plane was flying not more than ten feet above the water and was heading south.
 From these reports, Commander A. c. Read of Hampton Roads naval air station and other officers directing the search. today deduced that Lieut.. Ransehousen, who was piloting the amphibian. lost his bearings shortly after taking off and groped about lower Chesapeake bay for Is or 20 minutes before getting over the ship channel to Baltimore, which aviators customarily follow in night flights up the bay.
 It was said today at the Hampton Reads naval air station that the amphibian plane carried fuel enough for a flight of four hours had [, forced landing not been necessary but had the pilot lost his way, shortage of fuel would have forced the aivators down at about dawn.
 Curtiss Interviewed
 Miami. Fla, Feb. 2S Rp-Glenn H. Curtiss, pioneer airman, said to- day that Commander T. G. Ellyson, missing since yesterday with two other navy airmen. was the first man to launch an airplane by any thing resembling the catapul1 method now used by naval airplane carriers. The missing commander, the Davy's first flyer, also was the second man who ever pilo:ed q seaplane and the first man who ever rode as a passenger in one, Curtiss said.
 Curtiss told of teaching Ellyson to fly and described him as a 'cour- but at the same time careful pilot" He said Ellyson was detached from regular naval duty in 1911 and reported at the Curtiss station at San Diego, Cal, where he learn ed to fly. The first launching of d plane by the catapult method was at the Curtiss station at Ham, mondsport, N. Y.. in 1911, Curtiss said.
 He also remarked that Ellyson's work as a member of the naval mission at Brazil in 1922-1925 had resulted in modernzation of the

breaking down the rear entrance of

cleared and the mob held back long
enough for the police to arrive.
