That prediction proved

this morning when, with an
experienced crew which un-

have been possible for the
Zeppelin to slip out of the
dock quickly and make a
getaway. But in view of
the difficulty Of making the

orders, Eckener considered
it unwise to attempt it.

Australian Bush.

BY the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, New South Wales, April
6.-The airplane chartered by the sgd
ney Sun, which departed early today
to search O 30-mile-wide coastal area
north OF Wyndham, Western Australia,
and investigate smoke signals reported
seen there, returned tonight to Wynd-
ham without having found a trace OF
the lost airmen Of the Southern Cross.
A number of bush fires along the
coast, which presumably had given rise
to rumors that Capt. Charles Kings
ford-Smith and his three companions
were sending up smoke signals, were
investigated.
A supply Of tobacco was dropped to
aborigines In the vicinity Of Thurburn
Bluff, where It had been hoped that
Capt. Kingsford Smith would be
found, to induce them to remain In the
neighborhood. Later. message was
dropped In q bottle near a government
launch which was searching the coast
to ask the crew to question the aborig-
ines for possible information.
The search viii be continued to-
morrow in the area Of the Forest and

SEWARD SCHOOL
 TERM 1928 1930
 SHOWS INCREASE:
HIGH SCHOOL ENROLMENT IS ALSO LARGER THAN THAT
 OF LAST YEAR
By Mrs. J. c. Green)

With the gay chattering of boys and girls, bright-colored school frockS and suits much in evidence and all the paraphernalia of books, tablets, and pencils, school was opened yesterday at the new school on the north side of town.
 A total of TIT pupils are enrolled for this years course and the groups are divided as follows. 23 pupils are enrolled in the first and second grades; 21 in the third and fourth grades; Is in the fifth and sixth; and 24 in the seventh and eighth grades High school stu dents number 34.
 MT. R0aney, uperintendent has a capable staff of six lady teachers and one man teacher, who will be in charge of the education of the young SeWardits for higher grades for the coming year.
 The school looked and smelled mighty new and clean for the op- ening yesterday, and it was a pleasure to walk down the broad hall ways, gaze into the large, airy rooms, and to see all of the pre- parations that the citizens of Sew ard have made for education. amid pleasant and new surroundings.
 An unusually attractive group of teachers comprise the staff this year, and from the states of Wis consin, Missouri, Oregon, Nebraska and Washington they come, to make Seward their home for the. school year. Keen, alert and highly intelligent, they are a staff which any town might consider itself fortunate to have to serve it.
 Superintendent Roaney was very busy yesterday afternoon. He was in the midst of a teachers meeting. and the writer had to wait until the many problems incident to the opening day of school, had been thrashed out by the mentors. Mir. Roaney stated, "Of course all Sew ard knows how pleased I am with the city. It is a wide awake place, and I am proud to represent it as it's school superintendent. MT. and Mrs. Roaney, who formerly resided at Ketchikan, have taken an apart ment at the Arcade.
 Miss Verna Wheeler, who has the third and fourth grades, is we'll known in Seward, as this is her third year teaching here. Like it?". she laughed, Well, it certainly looks like I'm crazy about Seward. or I wouldn't keep coming back for more" Miss Wheeler has taken

Archaic Railroading.

A frightful railroad disaster that has
just occurred in Ontario which cost the
lives of a score of people is of the type
that was not uncommon in this country
some years ago. The railroad was
single-tracked and the cars were wood
en-. The combination has in the past
cost terribly in human lives. Misunder-
stood orders, 1t would appear, caused
Little is known yet of the exact cir
cumstances. but the result is indis-
putable evidence of laundering. When
railroad operatives blunder on a one
track basis the public pays dearly
Heart-rending stories are told by sur
vivors of the wreck of their inability
to do anything to rescue their less for
tunate fellows who were trapped in a
burning car and killed by the flames.
This car, flimsy wooden one, was
shattered by the collision and set afire
by a stove that furnished heat. 1t is
almost incredible that railroad service
should still be maintained on this con-
tinent on such basis. The area where
this disaster occurred is remote and
rather sparsely settled. but the railway
system is in the main modern one,
and 1t is shocking to learn that it con-
tinues the use Of such death traps as

The Sick Tiger.

Yesterday the executive committee of
Tammany Hall met to select a new
leader to succeed Judge Olvany, but
after a session of more than an hour,
which only developed a hopeless dead
lock in the choice, 1t adjourned with
the adoption of a resolution naming a
committee Of seven, four men and three
women-for women are now co-leaders
of Tammany districts-to confer with
former Gov. Smith, Mayor Walker,
Senator Robert F. Wagner and Sur
rogate James A. Foley on the subject
of the selection. No date was set for
the conference, nor for a report from
the committee. Meanwhile Judge
Olvany is to hold on as leader pending
the election of his successor.
Ever since the surprising announce
ment of Olvany's retirement there have
been evidences of bitter rivalries among
the district leaders. several of whom
have aspired TO the succession. At yes
terday's meeting, it is now stated, there
was a furious exchange of charges, one
faction alleging that a certain candi-
| date was backed by the gambling in
| terests of the city, only to be met by
countercharge that another candi-
date had the support of the bootleggers
This development of faction in the
ranks has greatly alarmed the veteran,
! Of the organization. Yesterday morn.
