TWENTY PAGES PRICE TWO CENTS 4 EMPLOYES KILLED POWDER MILLS EXPLOSION GIVE UP HOPE FOR 2 FLYERS Accept Fact Atlantic Has Taken It's Toll Again London, Mar. 1C--(INS)-- "Lost at sea" was the accepted fate of Capt. Walter Hinchliffe and the Hon. Elsie Mackay this afternoon at 4 p.

m. Approximately 80 hours had elapsed since the two daring flyers set out from Cranwell Airdrome in their American- built monoplane Endeavour in their tragic attempt to span the Atlantic to America. Early in the day Mrs. Hinchliffe, wife of the pilot, said she was "hoping for the best," but as the day passed without any definite news even Mrs. Hinchliffe's optimism waned.

HELP HOMELESS IN FLOODS New York, March the fear that Captain Walter R. Hineh- cliffe and the Hon. Elsie MacKay are lost became a grim certainty today. Three days have passed since the British "ace" and the dauntless daughter of Lord Inchcape gallantly look- off from Cranwell airdrome, England, in an heroic attempt to be the first to cross the Atlantic by air from Europe. As the days passed, confidence gave way to anxiety, anxiety to renewed hope, hope to fear and finally fear to sorrowful acceptance of the fact that the Atlantic has again taken its toll.

There remains only the barest possibility that the gclden-wlnged monoplane "Endeavour" was forced to make an ocean landing and that the fliers were picked up by .1 craft unequipped with wireless. Had the fliers made forced landing anywhere in America, or if they had been picked up by a ship having radio apparatus, news of them would have been received by this time. Although it was generally admitted yesterday that the fliers' Stlnson-Detrolter monoplane did not carry sufficient gaboline to enable it to keep uloft longer than 45 hours at the most, waning hope persisted until rui-ors that the plane had been sighted In New Brunswick and Maine were Investigated and found baseless. Hope soared for an hour or so yesterday upon an erroneous report that Hinchliffe and Miss Mackay were stranded on Stratton's Island, off the coast of Maine. Previously a report was circulated that a plane resembling the "Endeavour" was seen flying low over a sparsely settled portion of New Brunswick.

This report also proved false. Meanwhile all transatlantic ships kept a sharp but vain vigil for sign of the plane 'and its occupants. A wide search was made off the coast of Ireland on the theory lhat the filers were forced down before they had traversed mauy miles from land. NBA Los Angeles Bureau by Telephoto.

"I'm so afraid," she moaned while the nuns, who are guarding her in the Fullum Street jail, sought to comfort her. Her titian hair, once carefully bobbed, fell in unkempt masses over her slim shoulders.

He even remarked to guard that it "won't be long now." And meanwhile the authorities their freedom by acting as selected proceeded will, their plans for tho double execution.

News of these grim preparations have come back to Doris in her cell and a feeling of tragic foreboding has come over her. She cheered up somewhat however, when she learned that E.

She dried her tears upon receipt of the and partook of the heartiest meal she has eaten In weeks, although she did not eat much at that. Attorney Crebari has been identified with the appeals to Canadian authorities for the remission of the death penalty as far as the girl is concerned.

The girl's plight hns aroused intense Interest and there is widespread discusion as to whether she should bo granted clemency or allowed to die.

Homes In Towns Nearby Damaged In Morning Blast Several Workmen Are Injured When Powder Lets Go In Plant Near Valley Falls and Timbers Fall Upon Them.

Mitchell and Hayner were working in a glazing mill which had been shut down. The theory was advanced that snarks from the contact of their hammers with nails may have set off the powder.

Shelley and White were in an adjoining glazing mill. A truck load of the finished black powder standing alongside of one of the mills, went up in the explosion. Edward L. Prickett, superintendent of the plant and several other workmen were injured by falling timbers. This was the third explosion at the mills in the last three one was killed in the other blasts.
