WEDNESDAY CHILLICOTHE, EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2 ,1925. DAILY EDITION-COPY, FIVE CENTS RELIEF FOR THE MISSING SEAPLANE ON Flagship of the Non-Stop Flight Runs Out of Fuel Near Goal. The PN-G No. 1 Is Towed In MISTY RAIN HAMPERED WORK LAST NIGHT- -THE LAST RADIO MESSAGE TOLD OF FADING FUEL SUPPLY--HEAVY HEAD WIND CUT OFF PLANE FROM VICTORY FLIGHT. Lahaina, Island of Mahui, Sept.
2 (A. -Three naval seaplanes took off from here at the first perceptible break of day and flew toward the eastern horizon in a determined effort to learn the fate of the missing seaplane PN 9-1. Conditions for the search were greatly improved over those of last night when rain and rough seas made survival doubtful of the five air men who Monday started on a scheduled non stop flight from Sa Francisco to Honolulu. Honolulu, Sept. 2.
(A. Five men in a disabled seaplane, drenched with tropical rain, hemmed in by tropical night in midPacific- such as was the picture painted here today by the unfortunate end of the attempted stop navy seaplane flight from flight, from San Francisco, to Hon-, plulu at 3 p. Eastern time, the missing plane had not been located. This gloomy view of the predicament of Commander John D. Rogers, U.
S. and his four aviators was based on official reports reached last night from ships in the path of the big seaplane PN-9, No. 1. The reports all yielded the same definite fact; that the aviators were last untraceable in the darkness. Throughout the hours of darkness, however, plans for rescue of the aviators they be found and alive, were brought to completion.
The island of Maui, nearest of the Hawaiian group to the point the PN-plan was believed to have dropped into the Pacitio was designated as th rescue base. Airplanes, submarines and surface ships were ordered ready to start at daybreak: on a systematic search of that territory between the 21st and 23rd parallels of latitude and the 153rd and 155th meridians of longitude. The PN-9, No. 1, with her sister plane, the PN-9, No. 3, left San Francisco Monday afternoon on a scheduled non-stop flight to Pearl Harbor, Oahu.
The number three plane gave up 300 miles outside the GoNen Gate because of mechanical difficulties. The number one machine flagplane of the flight curried on. Ten ships of the United States navy had been assigned definite positions on the line of the flight. Ship after ship was passed, even the U. S.
S. Langley, the half way point in the flight and attainment of the Pearl Harbor objective, seemed only a matter of hours. Rising winds, however, retarded the speed of the ship and forced extravagant use of the carefully rationed store of gasoline, the food of the engines. Tuesday, shortly afternoon in Honolulu, Commander Rodgers radioed that his fuel was running low. Two hours more and after a number of messages saying it would be forced to alight, the seaplane's radio was silenced.
By that tim rain was falling steadily in the vicinity of the seaplane. Visibility was bad. The (Continued on Page Twelve) BERWYNITES TAKE REMEDY IN OWN HANDS Tear Up Bad Tracks Of The Street Railway Company To Stop Accidents. Chicago, Sept. 2.

DIVISION OF CAMP SITE IS AGREED UPON Representatives of Dept. of Justice And Veterans Reach Agreement Look For Action Shortly OFFICIAL RED TAPE MAY HANG UP FINAL TRANSFER FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT BUT IF ACCEPTANCE IS MADE BY JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THINGS MAY BEGIN TO HUM WITHIN TWO WEEKS AT THIS END OF THE CAMP SITE. The conference held here yesterday by Dr. Ellingson, ing the veterans' bureau and Mr. Harlan of the department of justice at Washington resulted in an amicable conclusion relative to a recommendation for a division of camp lands between these two government activities.
It is an open secret that the vetterans bureau is desirous and really needs doubling if not tripling of the present hospital facilities at Camp Sherman and that the department. of justice is desirous of establishing on the reservation the new reformatory provided for by the Foster bill, which contemplates a moral and vocational (rehabilitation school for youthful against federal statutes. On top of this moral advance by the government the present federal prisons are full to overflowing with prisoners who have beer caught in the Volstead and Harrison act dragnets with Leavenworth and Atlanta both crowded to almost double their capacity, there is an instant demand for a place to place excess prisoners to relieve the congestion at both places. To that end the department of justice would utilize what is now existant on Camp Sherman as a temporary abode for these men and youths. To do this, present facilities at Camp Sherman at this end of the camp site lend themselves admirably.
The two representatives who were here to make this equitable division right on the ground agreed to recommend that the Veterans' Bureau which enjoys its freehold under a revocable lease from the war department, shall retain approximately 2,800 acres of the north end of the camp site, returning to the war department for re-lease under similar revocable (Continued on Page Twe've) EVANSVILLE, IS SHAKEN BY TREMOR Evansville, Sept. 2.

Members Make Statement MAGNITUDE OF NEEDS HAS KEPT THEM STUDYING THE PROBLEM FOF THREE OR FOUR YEARS -ONLY NECESSITY SPURS IT TO ACT NOW WHEN DELAY CAN NO LONG ER BE MADE -WHAT THE PROGRAM IS. TO THE CITIZENS OF CHILLICOTHE For a number of years this community has been conscious of its growing need for additional and more adequate school housing facilities.
Each year the situation has become more and more serious. In. recent years patrons of the schools have become intpatient and some have felt that those who were serving the public as members of the Board of Education were dilatory and duly cautious. The board has been, at all times, fully conscious of the conditions existing in the schools, but the magnitude of the lem has demanded most careful, painstaking and conscientious study, if due regard were exercised for the best interests of the schools and of the community which supports them. For the past few years the board has given careful study to the problem.
In particular during the past year has the problem been given intensive and most careful investigation, and the solution has taken on more concrete form. At a meeting held Tuesday, September 1st. the board adopted program and passed a resolution authorizing the submission of bond issue to the voters at the November election of this year. The program, which will be outlined in detail to the public. is based on careful and thorough consideration of the situation by the board and on the best advice obtainable, both as to the construction and educational features of the problem.
It is the purpose of the board to put forth every effort to familiarize the public with the program. Every citizen, every civic and social organization is asked to give not only endorsem*nt, but constructive help in carrying out. the program. It is the Arm belief of the board that Chillicothe wants good and adequate school facilities. This action of the board affords that opportunity, W.
