Four entire days have passed since there was any definite news at naval head quarters here ol Commander John Rodgers and his crew of four men on the seaplane PN-9-1, and each passing hour brought nearer the certainty that the men are . lost. The navy has not given up hope of finding tho gallant crew, which came so near to accomplishment of the non-stop hop to Hawaii, but ad mits that the hope is sii.-dor. Twenty destroyers and planes were fushed to the Kausal channel in the Hawllan islands to follow the "drift circle" In the hope of finding trace of the lost plane. Flares seen at several points were beliaved by Capt. Stanford Moses, flight project commander, to be phorporus, although there was a possibility that they might be sig nals from Commander Rodgers. He was equipped with red and green and white flares, also smoke bombs. SENTIMENTALISTS RESPONSIBLE FOR DISORDER IN PEN Gene Hawley, Former Ass't Warden At Salem Blames No Present Officials At Salem, But Politic And Sob'Sisters At Fault Kiddies Peeved But Mothers Glad That School Is Starting Child Is No Longer A Toy Of State, Says' Hill After a briar visit in Klamath Falls, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Hill left Sulurday for Portland. Mr. Hill, who is president of the Hill Military acamedy. led the tight against the Oregon school law, which would have practically put all the private schools out of business.

The committee mnn will go.lo Portland Tuesday. A better police bureau for Klam ath Falls Is.diM-Xvlthln the near fu ture If the plans of Harry Loucks, chief of polie, can be realized. Chief Loucks, realizing that Klam ath Falls has outgrown the small town stage, hopes to offer the city a police department where calls may be handled more expeditiously, where records will be readily ob tainable, where accident reports may at all times be filed by motorists in a word, a bureau more 4n keep ing with the requirements of a city of 8,000 residents. "I realize," Chief Loucks said, "that tho things I'm after cannot be accomplished over night. It will take time. Since I have been In of fice we have made an effort to re organize to a degree, but tho de partment nt the present time Is not at all the department that I wish it to be." During his vacation Loucks plans to visit other cities and study the methods employed by them In hand ling their police work. He hopes to go into California to confer with ex perts In tho conduct of police busi ness. In some other cities. It has been pointed out, the police department submits, at regular Intervals a re port of all Its activities over a reg ular period, and this would be pos sible in Klamath Falls were some kind of an organised record bureau established. Already the chief has begun to segregate his various re ports, and to plan for further or ganization. "I believe that all of my men arc good offlcors, and I know they're on the Job," Loucks said. "There's no complaint about the way affairs are handled on tho street, but I do want to soe the office Itself modernized." Who was responsible for the re cent prison break at Salem? Ask Gene Hawley, now in Klam ath Falls. I Now that two tearless guards and a convict have been burled, now that a coroner's jury has reported, now that newspapers have pointed out the fact that the prison Is poorly equipped, now that the warden has been censured who was really re sponsible for one -of the most sen sational escapes In the history of Oregon? Gene Hawley has a ready answer. It is unique. Hawley. at the time he quit the penitentiary, was assistant to James Lewis, who administration Is ack nowledged by those in a position to know, to have been one. of the most successful in the history of the 'prison. Lewis, a victim of Gover nor Pierce's axe, went, and with him ! went Gene Hawley, at all times said by Lewis to be one of the most val- 1 uable men behind the walls. Haw ley, before Lewis became warden, had served under many prison heads and had gathered his information of convicts from many years' contact with them. Weak Sisters Cause "Who was . responsible for the break?" Hawley was asked last night. '. And Hawley, ignoring the person nel of officials now at the prison, answered: "Sentimentalists." ' "What do you mean?" "Con lovers. Sob-sisters." "On the Inside of the prison, or the outside?" "Outside." Hawley explained. He said that the men, the women, who forever protest at prison discipline disci pline which, Hawley says, is abso lutely necessary for order are. In directly, responsible for the recent Salem outrage. Persons who know Hawley will tell you Hawley Is a I'square shooter." Convicts will toll yon Hawley Is a "square shooter" and that he is just. But Hawley Insists that rigid prison discipline Is neces sary and that, with public opinion forever with the man who has sin ned against society, that It is vir tually Impossible for the right sort of discipline to be maintained. Political Limelight If one convict knocks another con vict down, thereby causing disorder, and he in turn Is knocked down by a guard, some woman on the out side learns of it and immediately writes to a newspaper and the gov ernor. A "sob" sister on tho news paper writes 6f the cruel guard, politiclana see their chance to make capital of the Incident, and perhaps there is an Investigation. The convict,, who - might havo started a prison riot, wins a moral victory, and the morale of tho prison drops another notch. "I saw Tom Murray when ho was arraigned in Salem," Hawley said. "He Is the typical convict, although he has been painted by the news papers as a sort of nice-looking young kid. The 'con' is all over him. He Is shifty-oyed, nervous, (Continued on Pae Two) Chicagoans Go To Neb. To Escape Heat; While Nebraskans Go To Colo. LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 6. While Chicagoans were taking week-end trips to Nebraska to take advantage of low excursion railroad rates, and incidentally to escape the heat, Neb raskans were steaming to tho Den ver mountains for the sBmo reaaons.
