Land parties also started out for a thorough search of the nearby territory. In the meantime nearly a score of sea- | planes from the naval air station at| Hampton Roads continued their search of the lower Chesapeake Bay area and | the numerous rivers and inlets branch- | ing out from either side.

FRANCE FIELD, Canal Zone, Feb- Los Angeles, which arrived here last night from the United States, took off for Guacanayabo Bay, Cuba. where the U. S. S. Patoka is awaiting her, at| 10:15 am. | The dirigible, which yvesterday com- pleted the second longest non-stop flight in her history, took off from the | improvised “stub” mast here a few minutes after 10 o'clock, and started | on her return flight to the United in Cuba. With the ship tied up to an impro- vised mast after her 2,265-mile flight from Lakehurst, N. J., in 40 hours, the personnel remained aboard during the night ready for an early start. A tropical moon offered dim visibility as the Los Angeles approached Colon over the Caribbean Sea. The craft cir- cled the city twice before coming down. A crowd of nearly 5000 that gathered at the fleld watched with eagerness every movement of the first aircraft to make a non-stop flight between the United States and the Isthmus. Moored to Mast. The dirigible had no trouble in land- ing in the spanking northerly trade wind. A crew of 600 sailors was pres- ent to assit in mooring the ship to the 60-foot temporary mast, which was con- structed in the United States under su- pervision of Lieut. Comdr. E. C. Rosen- dahl. When the Los Angeles was about 30 feet from the ground, mooring lines were tossed overboard and the ship ragged to within a few feet of the earth. It was then dragged for 50 yards to the mast and lashed fast. The commander and other officers spent the night aboard. Lieut Comdr. Rosendahl said that the 40-hour fiight was made with great ease and rough weather encountered only once, although the craft passed through every kind of weather, includ- ing snow, sleet, rains and wind Shows Feasibility. tip igation which are of ing the ¢ hould & The youte mapy while a ¢ ke fiers, | he two u Novy carry Doeysir tanse it o e wwicl 8 wearch b o Quctive of 1e 1) 3 o e curih W e por Capwe Chvries “ »oelie Elation el pigues the A Tvntipued vn dege &, Culuii €4 trip” he sald, “demonstrates lity of long flights for the and we experienced no troub) a non-stop flight from New York t Panama The Los Angeles used about two- s of its fuel supply on the jour- ming 20,000 pounds. \g altitude was generally " 1,500 feet with It was nece: between 1,000 and 2ximum of 2000 fe | the dirigible up over the ! times | | 10 now cloud; TRIP TAKES 10 HOURS. nds Message of Congratu- | lation to Rosendahl, Warner cles was stuck at Fran Cunal Y, ing for the return trip United States ically into the tropics ¢ big peace-time ship of ¥ completed & filght from her N J, hangar o the Cansl ton field in exactly 40 hours e, snd marked the first tme ir venture bad been succes carried out 1o Lhat territory Phue veip, 2265 miles 0 all, wlso rep- | resented the longest non-ptop Journe rigible since she was flown | drichehiaten, Germany, 1o the | tut 6015 B BODY OF BROOKS SOUGHT IN'VAIN Desolate Coast Combed for Ford Pilot, Who Met t Death in Sea. By the Associated SEBASTIAN, Fla, February 28— Searching parties today thrust thelr paths through the matted palmetto and saw grass which thrives on a desolate stretch of coast, in q of the body of Harry Brooks, who plunged with his little one-seater monoplane into the ocean late Saturday. At the point where his battered craft as washed ashore yesterday, and for several miles in either direction, prog- ress of searchers was seriously ham- pered by the rugged country, over which it was almost impossible, for automobiles to come and go. Seat cushions and thermos bottle, washed on the beach during the night, were definitely identified, according to offi- cers, as belonging to Brooks. During all of yesterday, no other clues were found after the waves had finally given up the little ship. Planes Join Search. Motor eycle policemen patrolled the narrow beach. Motor boats traversed the water n the shore. Afrplanes, during dayhight hours, have traced a course up and down the coast to seek some vestige of their fellow airman who met disaster Saturday while pilot- ing his fiivver monoplane from Titus- ville toward Miami, after a record- breaking flight for such small aircraft from Detroit. A theory of newspaper men regard- ing the accident that hurtled Brooks mnto the sea off Melbourne had been agreed to by experienced pilots, among them J. R. Lilly of Chicago and A. B. Chalk, who yesterday examined the plane after its recovery. ‘This explanation of what happened centered around a small wooden plug which was found in the air hole on the tap of one of the three gasoline tanks This is believed to have created a vacuum, shut off the fuel flow and finally caused the tank to cave in from force of suction when the vacuum be- came complete.

Smith was the applause which grected the name of Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who has been men- tioned as a rallying post of the drys in the Democratic party, who wish to fore- stall the nomination of the New York governor. The charge was made Miller of New York, rep: National Clvic League, that Gov. Smith would have been eliminated as a candi- date for the presidential nomination if the Walsh resolution for a power trust investigation had been adopted by the Senate in its original form.

Mr. Miller insisted that the most im- portant task of the drys was to bring about the nomination of candidates who belleve fn prohibition and are ready at all times to enforce the dry laws.
