AUSTRALIA FEARS FOR LOST PLANE Southern Cross, Forced Down in Bush on Flight to England, Sought by Air and Water.' By the Associated Press. SYDNEY,. N. 8. W, April 2— Search was being made today by air and water in the Australian bush for the missing plane Southern Cross and four men. Absence of word from Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith, Charles T. Ulm and their two companions, who radioed Sunday they Wwere coming down in a rainstorm 100 miles east of Wynd- ham, Western Australia, led to anxiety. An Australian airways plane, char- tered by a newspaper, arrived at Wynd- ham at noon today on a reconnoitering trip. A launch proceeded up the Drys- dale River with petrol and stores. ‘While there was considerable differ- ence of opinion as to where to look for the aviators, who were en route from Sydney to England, there was a feeling they were forced down near either Drysdale Mission Station or at the Port George Mission, on the Prince Regent River. The latter place is 130 miles east of Derby, Western Australia. In either event the country is in- ‘habited largely only by natives, many of whom are unfriendly and reputedly cannibalistic, although at Drysdale the influence of the missions is said to have made them more amicable tow:urd white men. It is believed the radio of the plane was put out of commission when it landed. Such is the nature of the ter- rain and the bush that it was regarded as unlikely a plane would be able to get up again atter a forced landing. The London Daily Express in a dis- patch from Sydney said today “it is feared they are lost in a wild, inacces- sible jungle country without food.” A dispatch to the London Evening News yesterday said it was believed the aviators were safe, but this was not borne out by other advices from Aus- tralia. FIRE-FIGHTING METHODS OUTLINED BY SPEAKER Capt. Chapman Explains to Manor Park Association How to Guard Against Conflagrations. Pointers on what to do in case of fire were given the Manor Park Citizens’ Association last evening at its meeting in the Whittier School, Fifth and Sher- idan streets, by Capt. H. A. Chapman, president of the Fire Fighters’ Assocla- tion. Capt. Chapman urged that fire-alarm systems in epartment houses be con- nected with the city system, so that the Pire Department might receive prompt notice of all fires. He described tue work of the Fire Department rescue squad and told the assoclation to call on the squad for first aid in case of accident. Improvement of streets and high- ways in the Manor Park section was discussed in connection with a list of streets presented by the association’s committee on streets and highways. ¢ John D. Smoot, president of the as- sociation, presided. Policeman Loses His Pay Check. ‘When Policeman L. R. Keech of he fourteenth precinct hurried to & police box on a street corner in his precinct last night it was evident something of importance had happened. And it had, too, for Keech reported to his fellow officers at the station house that while pltrulli.n%hls beat some time during the evening he had lost his pay check for $85.31. It had not been found today. R Jay-walking is unlawful in San Fran- cisco. < Wellesley Girls Seek Slayer of Richard Second History Students Arrive at Suspicion of Henry Fourth. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. WELLESLEY, Mass, April 2— Unique approaches to various academic subjects prove Wellesley College to be a leader in the field of progressive edu- cation. The current interest for de- tective stories, for example, was di- rected into new channels when a semi- nar class in medieval history used its ingenuity together with its methods in research in an attempt to solve the puzzle of the mysterious death of Richard II of England. / Each student became a detective under the direction of Prof. Edna V. Moflett, chairman of the department of history, and with all the zeal at her command searched for clues in co- temporary accounts as given in private letters, official records and chronicles. Conflicting pieces of evidence were sub- jected to minute scrutiny. The fact that a which Henry IV declared was that of the dead Richard was pub- licly shown in the towns of England was discounted by the fact that modern scholarship on the basis of physical measurements now questions whether the body at present in the tomb is really that of Richard II. All the theories of his death were ex- amined by the class: sulcide by hung.r strike, murder by enforced starvation at his keepers’ hands, murder by a bat- tle-ax wielded by Sir Plers Exton and the romantic theory that Richard escaped to Scotland, where for many years he lived incognito and died a natural death. Evidence was discovered in favor of all four hypotheses. French testimony tended to favor the murder theory. Scotch witnesses supported the idea of escape, and English testimony discreetly refused to say anything which might seem to incriminate King Henry IV. Fourteenth and early fifteenth century chronicles were summoned as witnesses, severely cross-examined by the jurors who baited them and each other with non-partisan zeal. After reviewing all available evidence the class resolved itself into a jury, but like the best modern historians, found themselves unable to reach a Verdict. One-third of them favored escape, one- third insisted on suicide or murder and one-third felt any theory insufficiently proved. All, however, felt a sinister suspicion of the “Guileless Henry,” but eould not obtain a conviction on the evidence. Despite the fact that the “jury” could reach no verdict and has been officially disbanded, the members of the class still continue to debate the matter. It costs Stevens Institute of Tech- nology $900 a year to educate each student. The pupil pays less than half | this sum. | SEEK THIRD-WOMAN IN MCRARY DEATH TuIéa Officers Question Two Others—Get Minor Testimony. By the Associated Press. TULSA, Okla., April 2.—After ques- tloning two wbmen, one of them a prom. inent Tulsa divorcee, county authorities today sought a third woman in their efforts to solve the mystery surround- ing the death of William S.
