Wireless operators of the Burgess Battery company station at Madison who have been listening for word from the plane since it left Coch- rane, Ont., Saturday noon on the hop to Mt.

Hears Feeble Letter The signal did not come on the plane set’s wave length of 32.84. In- stead, Dr. Sceleth said, he picked it up on a wave length of 24 meters. The “R,” he said, came very feebly, indicating it was from considerable tance, and was followed by a signature of which he was able to pick up only an “H.” The official signature of the Rockford plane was KHAH.

Three of the victims, Richard Miller, his wife and a son, were in- stantly killed. Two others, Miller’s son Wesley, and a neighbor, Carl Meeks, died attempting to rescue the three. Miller stepped on the wire while jen route t» work. His screams brought his wife and a son to his aid. Bova died when they came in contact with the wire.
