SEARCH RIVER BOTTOM FOR LOST LOCOMOTIVE Chamberlain, S. D., Oct. 6—Work men in employ of Chicago, Milwaukee »»—i ( & St. Paul railway company have thus far failed to locate the big G7 locomotive which went to the bottom of the Missouri river on June 21 last when the pontoon bridge on which the railroad extends across the river here tipped over. The big locomotive and eight cars of gravel went to the bottom of the river and the engineer had a narrow escape from death. When the gap formerly occupied by the pontoon bridge was piled an effort was made to locate the suken engine, but thus far without success. Equip men now has been prepared w'ith which it is believed the locomotive can be located. This is the time of the year when work can be done with every advantage, owing to the fact that the water in the river is lower than at any other time of the year. However, the water in the main channel where the locomotive is sup posed to be is 36 feet deep. The work of trying to locate the locomotive is ■ carried on by means of tubes, which are forced in the sand at the bottom of the river under hydraulic pressure, or what is ordinarily called "jotting.” James Hayes, of Chicago, construc tion engineer of the railway company is in charge of the work of striving to locate the sunken locomotive.

BY JOHN GOLDSTROM, , Universal Service Corespondent. Washington, Oct. 10.—The limit of man’s air speed has been reached. Pilots cannot travel faster and ma neuver their planes with safety. At a little over 200 miles an hour their physical endurance cannot stand fur ther strain and the planes cannot be dependably controlled at much higher speed. This is the belief of Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the bureau of aero nautics of the navy department, pre dicated on reports of pilots who have been training for the Detroit races next Saturday. His opinion is based on consideration of the present gen eral type of airplane. It is conceded that some new form of air craft may yet be evolved which may be safely handled at higher speeds, but it Is thought doubtful. "Within the past few weeks avia tion circles have been amazed by re ports of performances of high speed machines," said Admiral Moffett. “Speeds of more than 200 miles an hour have been repeatedly recorded. But another factor of prime consid eration as a balance to speed is maneuver-ability. When the point is reached where a plane can no longer be controlled the limit of usefulness, particularly in military types has been achieved.” In a plane doing three miles a min- ~ ute and with a breeze of its tall this writer has flown from Hollywood to the downtown section of Los Angeles in less than five minutes. It takes about 45 minutes by electric railway. There are cases o record of pilots who have made nearly perfect land ings while practically unconsicous from air sickness. This has occurred after flights over the bumpy passes of the Rocky Mountains. FARMER HALTS ROAD GANG WITH SHOTGUN Whalen Dares World to Tres pass on His Land—Builds Self Barricade.

Judge Payne, who recently returned form a tour of Europe, recounted in stances of the gratitude of the nations Involved in the world war for the min istrations of the Red Cross. Every where there was the impression that the American Redi Cross “could do anything it started out to dio,” he said. This confidence would be vindicated in handling the present disaster,.
