George Harvey is dead. He

Harding sent him as ambassa

himself and' Harry Tucker, his
passenger and backer, cost
$100, or $50 a passenger. The
trip was made well inside of
one day, instead of taking four
nights as by train.
That should make railroad
owners think, as many DO
think.
British railroads are bother

Receiving Garbled Radio

Believe Are From the
Missing Rockford Plane!

CHICAGO. Auk. 23. (fl'J Kulnt
radio senilis received In Chicago
lust night by two amateur operat-
ors today save renewed hope that I
Bert Ilassell mid Parker Cramer, j
missing llockford-to-Stockholm
fllorn, still are alike.
The signals were received by Dr.
Charles K. Hcelelh and Irving
Strauss on a wavelength other than
that on which the filers' plane.
Greater liockford, was equipped
to broadcast. This fact was partly
explained, however, by a theory
that the wavelength with the an
tennae trailing from the plane In
flight might be changed when the
wires were strung on the ground.
Tito signals, sent repeatedly, con
sisted of it series of five "Its" fol
lowed by five "Ds." After 10 sets
fo them had been completed two
"As" came In rapid succession.
The letter "It" designated the
last position which the plane broad
east before messages from It were
severed last Sunday morning. Ac
cording to a prearranged code, "R."
Indicated the plane was near Cape
Chldley In Its flight from Coch
rane, Out., to .Mount Evans, Green
land. The "13" appeared meaningless
unless Cramer, who is inexperl-j
enceu m iuc luuiu ,nnn iijing iu
message the plane was down, the
"A" had no meaning for the re
ceivers, ..The signals,- .operators
said, came clearly.
The story of the radio operators
Increased hope of friends and rela
tives of the filers at Rockford. 111.,
which they left on their proposed
trip to Stockholm a week ago, that
the aviators are on the ground In
some inaccessible part of Green
land or Quebec. Ships which have
patrolled their course. In the North
Atlantic reported no trace of the
filers or tile plane, but said that
if the men fell into the sea there
was no clwtnce of their surviving
long.
LONDON, ling.. Aug. 23 (VP
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen says that the
sheriff of South Greenland has in
formed' Copenhagen that an air
plane was seen flying over Fiske
naessct Sunday and thence turned
to the east.
A telegram received by
Greenland administration fro m
tho sheriff there said today:
"Machine reported absolutely
without doubt from Flkenasset.
The whole place, as well as Lich
tunfels, observed the machine
Sunday morning at 10:30 flying
high from north -northwest and
descending over Fiskenaessct."
Ueptu'l Believed True
The message received by the
Greenland administration was
follows: Machine reported abso
lutely without doubt from Kisken
aesset. The tvhole place, as well
os Llchtenfels. observed the ma
chine Sunday morning at 1 0:30
coming high from the north-northwest
and descending over Kisken
aesset, "The crew were clearly seen
looking over the area through
binoculars. Afterwards the ma
chino turned eastwards
j,
Green landers' statement is abso
lutely trustworthy and they de
scribed the sound of the engine
and gave the national marks on
the machine."
While tho sheriff of south
Greenland did not give the 'na
tional marks" seen on the plane
this was understood here to moan
the Amcritin markings as the in
habitants of the town had been
instructed to bo on the lookout for
the American fliers.
There was no indication in the
message as to the probuble landing
place of tho plane, but every effort
will he made to discover this.
