The work has been going on al

with Hr-race A. Mann, former Ten

has been proceeding' and will con
tinue to proceed without the blare

Already signs of the work are
appearing on the surface. Reports
have reached Washington of tbe
setup of a new Republican organ

in other states, although the reg

It Is the opinion of the leaders
that success In tbe south must be

o'clock tonight the Marshal Pll

plane, had not been- sighted
here. It had been calculated that
If It should pass over the Azores
on its trip from Paris to New

Failure to sight the plane, how
ever, caused no apprehension here
because it was understood that
unless fuel Was running low the
fliers intended keeping a course to
the north of the archipelago.
A forced landing in the Azores
would be safe only on. the island
of Terceira although it would be
possible in some of the agricultur
