ROYAL AIR FORCE
HUNTS DUCHESS
Planes From Ten Stations
Spread Out in Search
for Lost AViatrix,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 24.-A squadron
Of planes from 10 stations OF the Royal
Air Force roared of into the dawn
today in the most intensive aerial
search Of many years-the hunt for
the flying Duchess Of Bedford, who
vanished in her plane Monday.
They spread a criss-cross web of re-
connaissance over the watery meadow
lands in the Fenland country, the
Wash, a vast inlet Of the North Sea,
and even out to sea.
Handicapped by binding snow
storm and foods, more than 1000
persons on the ground took part
throughout the night in the gigantic
effort to find the 7l-year-old air
woman, alive or dead.
Friends Of the aviatrix disclosed she
might have flown to her death in an
attempt to realize an ambition to
round out her 1893 hours OF solo fly
ing into an even 200. She planned
"a short trip around" Of about two
hours when she took on.
Took Up Aviation at 81.
The duchess turned to aviation for
a thrill when she was 81. She found
them aplenty in the nine ensuing
years.
She turned the stock yard at staid
Woburn Abbey into q landing field
and did her errands to nearby towns
by plane. But her 10000 miles OF
flight carried her into the worlds far
corners, too.
On distance hops she usually
took along Capt. c. D. Barnard. She
was en- route from the Canary Island.
to Africa three years ago when no
madic Moors fired on her ship, two
bullets striking wing.
Earlier on the same flight her en-.
gine failed and the duchess was
forced to land with a dead stick"
Forced Down in Africa.
In 1880 she and Capt. Barnard were
forced down in Africa, and the two
tramped miles through infested
bush country to safety in native
hut. Last Spring she few $500 miles

proposed rate was fair and rea-
sonable" to all parties concerned.
Under the present system the more
than 200 fire insurance companies
operating here are required to submit
to the superintendent annual state
mentS Of their financial condition, but
they impose rates without any control
whatever by municipal officials. Life
insurance rates, on the other hand,
are subject to municipal regulation by
law.
The last available annual report
of the superintendent Of insurance,
covering the calendar year 1894,
shows that fire insurance companies
collected more than $3,800,000 during
the year and returned to policy hold
ers for fire losses 81 ,295, 900, or about
SO per cent.
Large fire losses in Washington are
relatively rare, officials point out, due
to peculiar conditions here. The fire
risks, therefore, are comparatively
small.
Here streets are wide, most Of the
buildings are low and are flreproof
or stmi-fireproof in construction, there
are no great industrial plants that
constitute fire hazards, the water sup
ply is adequate for any emergency and
the Fire Department has remarkable
record of efficiency, both as to inspec-
ton and fire fighting
District officials repeatedly have
boasted of the small fire losses in
Washington, compared to other cities.
Fire companies here have their own
rating bureau, but not all Of the COM
panies are members Of it. The rating
bureau, as a matter of cooperation,
maintains in the Office of Insurance
Supt. Balch Moor a card index file
of all fire insurance risks in the
District.
The rates vary according to type
