Failure of any ship, despite the proximity of several, to find the slightest trace of the planeplus the thorugh preliminary plan ning for the expedition and the painstaking "try out" of the mechanical equipment, combined to bolster the theory that the dis tress signal may have been caused by a minor and temporary mis hap. Some of those close to the members of the crew James De wit t Hill and Lloyd Bertaud, pilots, and Phil Payne, passenger refused to admit that a serious situation existed until, at least after the hour the plane was scheduled to pass over Bordeaux, France, on the road to the Eter nal City. : Meantime, several hours behind Old Glory, the Stinson-Detroiter monoplane 'Sir John Carling, also was supposed; to be driving east. Of the progress of this, the latest of the trans-Atlantic argonauts, not the slightest information had been received since early Wednes day when, a few minutes-after the take-off from Harbor Grace, she was reported passing a point barely 30 miles away. , j.

Cause of the fire is unknown. Men connected with the institu-: tton, tqgether with about 50 boysH who are being kept there awaiting removal to quarters at, the newly constructed plant near Woodburn, were working in the fields at the time the building burst into flames and by the tim the first man reached the spot the entire upper part of the . barn was a roaring mass ot fire. By quick work two horses were removed to safety. These were all the hors es that were in the barn at the time, the others having been tak en out to work. 'Practically all the farm equipment was saved due to the fact that it was in use. The state of Oregon carries Its own Insurance on state owned property under a law enacted by the legislature in 1925. The barn itself was valued at $3,000, and the hay and grain at $140. The material that was consum ed in the flames included 55 tons of hay, 10 tons of straw, 800 bush els of oats and 200 bushels of wheat. The barn, which was almost new,- was situated Just north of the main' building. Quick work by a fire fighting crew from Cot tage Farm, operated Just east of the training school grounds in connection with the state hospital, prevented the flames from spread ing to other buildings. The barn is said to have caught fire once before, this year. VESSEL SENDS MESSAGE) Ship Nearest to Scene of Believ ed Disaster Searches Sea NEW YORK, SEPT. 7.
