SEAPLANES OFFERED
BY D. S. FOR SEARCH

Feared Lost in Canadian
Wilds.

By the Associated Press.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, No
vember ll.--An offer of the United
States Government TO send naval sea-
planes to aid in the search for two
aviators and their four passengers lost
somewhere in Northern British
Columbia encouraged the little group of
rescue workers today.
The offer was transmitted through
@. A. Bucklin, United States consul at
Vancouver, to r. Randolph Bruce,
lieutenant governor Of British Columbia,
who in turn forwarded 1t to Donald
Sutherland, minister of national defense
at Ottawa. Permission must be obtained
for the American seaplanes to enter
Canada.
Anxiety over the failure to hear from
three aerial searchers was dissipated
last night with the receipt Of word
from each Of them.
Anscel Eckmann of Seattle continued
his flights yesterday along the coast In
the search for Robin Renahan, Sam
Clerf and Frank Hatcher, who dis
appeared while on an aerial hunt for the
Burke plane.
w. Joerss, commander of the search

|C|T|zENS OPPOSE
TRACTION coming
Northeast Body Hits Plan OF
Street Car Companies
to Regulate Fares.

A resolution opposing the proposed
soning of the street car companies to
regulate fares was passed by the North
east washington Citizens Association
meeting last night at the Ludlow
School, Sixth and g streets northeast.
The resolution pointed out that the
proposal to charge cents for the pas
sengers riding short distances and the
present 10 cent fare for those going
further would prove unsuccessful and
be bothersome.. The association also
went on record as opposed to the pres
ent 10 cent fare.
The resolution indorsing the bicen-
tennial celebration, to be held in 1882,
was passed by the association. A COM
mittee to aid in the carrying out of the
local celebration will be appointed at
the next meeting.
The movement of the Mid-City Citi-
gems Association In opposing the
elimination of trees on New York ave-
nue. between Ninth and Fifteenth streets
was Endorsed by the Northeast group.
The association also Endorsed the
present left-hand turn. Speakers
pointed out that any change in the
present traffic system would result in
congestion and accidents, since it would
require many months for motorists to
acquaint themselves with any new
change. The Endorsement came as the
speakers said that other associations in
the city were making an effort to have
the present rotary turn eliminated.
President Evan H. Tucker cited the
acute need for a playground in the
northeast section. Mr.. Tucker pointed
out that with the progress of the new
park development plan the plaza
playground near the Union Station no
longer exists. He said that the nearest
playground for children in the COM
munity served by the association Is in
the extreme east end of the city.

completed plans for acquisition
of rs per cent stock interest in
the Southwestern Natural Gas
Company, according to official an.
nouncement by the former com
pany, today. While details of the
plan have not yet been made
public, Appalachian is to acquire
100000 shares of the 100000

ing.
This transaction marks the
second important step in the ex-
pansion plans of the Appalachian

time ago acquired one-third in.
terest in Memphis Natural Gas.

ber of the leading industrial and
public utility enterprises of the
East to supply them with their
requirements of natural gas.
Southwestern Natural Gas is an
important unit with large reserves

Gas will give Appalachian Gas
outlets to a much wider field.

372 gas wells, 313 miles of pipe
lines, including gathering lines
and gas rights in more than 2OO,-

The report pointed out that

Net Earnings Also Increase
Gross Doubles, While Net
Is Equivalent to 81 a Share

NEW YORK, May 28.-Sub-
Stantial increases in both gross
earnings and net income as well
as a tremendous gain in its in
vestment account were disclosed
by the annual report issued by
the American and Foreign Power
Company, Inc, and subsidiaries.
During 1929, gross revenues
showed a gain of close to 100
per cent while earnings applicable
to the common stock increased
800 per cent over those reported
during the preceding year.
Gross Is Doubled
Gross earnings before deduc-
ton for requirements and de-
probation aggregated $63,709, POT
as compared with $32, ,181,55 the
year before.
After the deduction of all oper-
ating expenses. including interest,
depletion charges and dividends
on preferred stocks, the company
reported earnings of $6,510,015
applicable to the common stocks.
This is equivalent to 81 a share
on the 1,642,357 shares of common
stock outstanding at the close of
the year and compares with earn
ings of $1,528,O09 or $1.22 share
on the 1,248,930 shares common
stock outstanding in 1928.
The consolidated balance sheet
as of the close of 1929, showed
total current assets of $59,149, ,285
against current liabilities of $125,-
446, ,780.
Debts Carried Over
The relative disparity of the
current assets and current liabil-
tiles was due to the fact that the
company carried over some of its
Indebtedness to the current year.
Since January /, however, the
working capital position of the
company has been strengthened
through the sale of $4,000. 900
S per cent debentures and $20.000.-
900 20-year 6 per cent debentures,
Series "a" of the Compania
Guiana de Electricidad.
Proceeds Of these two tranSac-
tions were used to pay off the in

tenn of getting the other fellows

cepted but approved under au-
thOrity of law. Unit operation
is that more efficient method"
Protection From Methods
The report said that both
public and private interest need
be protected from present
methods was fOrcibIy shown by
the recent record Of two Cali
fOrnia wells which have already
turned into the pipeless $5,OOO,-
600 worth of oil and gas but
from which gas and gasoline

600 have gone into the air.
aside from the fact that
these two wells happen to be
on Federal leases, the interest
of the general public in the
wasted fuels is far too large to
be overlooked" the report said.
1T is to prevent more losses of
that magnitude that the idea
of seH.regulatiOn by voluntary
cooperative is winning increas-
ing support within the industry.
"Self.regulatiOn in the hand
ling of an oil pool means both
efficiency in development and
operation, and the determine
