The prdbable loss of a seaplane with a crew of three men, who started on a return trip from Boston to the naval station here, yesterday, was Indicated by the finding; of part of the propeller and one seat of the plane on the beach at Provlneetown tonla-ht. The men were Lieut. J. S. Buchanan, Ensigrn John G.

Howard and electrician Bernard Tomes. A radio message from Buchanan late yesterday said enslne trouble had ferced the plane to come down to the water between Plymouth and Provlneetown, and a message by carrier pigeon last night said the plane was drlf tina toward Prov-incetown. Seaplanes and submarine chasers sent in search of the missing, men the members of the American delegation late this afternoon. In the forenoon he met with Premiers Lloyd-George and Clemenceau to discuss financial clauses of the peace treaty. A statement issued in Paris saying that the report was inaccurate that the British and French premiers had approved President Wilson's satement on the Adriatic problem, added that the premiers had sent a joint statement of their view to Premier Orfando.

It was said the question of making the Franco-British statement public was for Signor Orlando t6 decide: Issuance of a statement bringing out that the British and French! Premiers' with the president on Fiume and other, phases of the Italian problem is being discussed in high quarters of the peace conference.

A naval sea. plane of the F-5 type propelled by two liberty motors of 400 horsepower each and carrying a crew of four men, remained in the air at Hampton Roads naval base for 20 hours and 10 minutes westerday, establishing what naval officials said tonight was a world's record for seaplanes.

The machine covered a distance of about 1,250 miles, averaging a little more than 60 miles an hour, despite the fact that a gala of from 20 to 30 miles was blowing. Twenty hours is the time officers here have estimated will be necessary for the three naval seaplanes to make the trans-Atlantic flight from New Foundland to Ireland if a direct routs finally If decided upon and they said' that is the machine making the record at Norfolk is much smaller than those to go overseas, yesterday's performance augurs well for the success for the attempt to cross the ocean. The distance from New Foundland to Ireland is slightly more than 1,900 miles, but the planes to be taken overseas under Commander John H. Towers are capable of faster speed thdh those of the F-5 type. Their cruising speed probably will be about 70 miles an hour, although it, Is admitted that thls will be g-oyerned largely, by.

the direction and velocity of the wind. Officers manning the machine which established the new record yesterday were Lieutenant Commander H. B. Grow, of -the regular navy, and Ensigns H. S.

Souther, D. Thomas and R. Irvine, of the naval reserve force. So far as could be learned tonight none of these men has been selected for the trans-Atlantic flight. Captain Noble Irvin, director of naval aviation, said tonight" that the record made by Commander Grow's plane had only once been exceeded by a heavier -than-air machine, a German airplane having remained in the; air for a longer period just, before the great war began.

The previous record for American naval seaplanes was about 10 hours, It was said. Captain Irvin declared that frequent efforts are made by naval aviators to better the navy, endurance record and that the flight of this machine had no particular reference to the trans -At lantic flight. Officials still maintained tonight thai the route of the trans-Atlantic flight had not 'been definitely decided upon, but in some quarters the belief, wat expressed that the seaplane fleet would fly direct to Ireland both because the distance Is shorter and because the prevailing winds are' In that direction during the month of May. COMPANY TO OPERATE COTTON WAREHOUSES Preliminary Organisation Effected In) New York W. Drake," of Raleigh, Treasurer New York, April 26.

Preliminary organization was here today of a cotton warehousing company to operate warehouses throughout the south and north as the culmination of a scheme Inaugurated by the cotton buying and storage committee of the national association of cotton manufacturers. The company starts with-a capital of and it is proposed to issue $15,000,000 of first mortgage 50-year gold- bonds bearing six per cent interest.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS OP POUR STATES HONORED Atlanta, April 26. The southern states which observe April 26 as Confederate memorial, day turned aside today from the series of welcomes which have been given returning veterans of the world war to pay tributes to ths heroes of another day. Parades, patriotic exercises and other features IB honor of the Confederate veterans wer -held in Alabama Florida, Georgia and Mississippi. In raany of them voter, ans of the Frerttrh- fields 1 and' of" tm war with Spain took a prominent part Says Postmaster. General Is Out of Jlarmony With the Rest of the World New York, April 26.

Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, assailed the administration of Postmaster Burleson in a stafement issued here today, declaring that he must "walk the plank sooner or later." Mr. Gompers charged Postmaster General Burleson with carrying out Van archaic, autocratic policy in the conduct of the postal telegraph and telephone services of the United States," and said, "He needs only a wider field and a better opportunity to fit him for' succession to some of the World's best known but unlamented ex'-dictators." "The troubles of Postmaster General Burleson, which in a recent statement he attributes to a' plot or a conspiracy on the part of the American publishers, are not due solely to any dispute there may have been between the postmaster general and the publishers to whom he refers," says Mr. Gompers' statement. "The most recent example of Mr. Burleson's autocratic nature does not come as a surprise to those in the labor movement who have come in contact with his administration.

"Labor was long ago forced to the conclusion that Mr. Burleson was completely out of sympathy with the trend of American thought and was totally unable to comprehend what America meant when it declared war upon autocracy everywhere. Mr. Burleson needs only a wider field and a better opportunity to fit him for succession to some of the world's best known but unlamented ex-dictators. The only difficulty in Mr.

Burleson's way is that the world has reached the decision that it wants no more dictators. The Unitsd, States, poKtaXfice-depar tment- is rone of tho ve.ry few places in tne worlej jjot yet In accord, with thati decision. The workers In various branches of the postmaiter gerteral's department have -come -to -understand thoroughly that- democracy and the postofflce department have, nothing, in common except- that they exist under the same government. "Mr. Burleson's troubles can not successfully be- laid by him at' the doors of those whom he may assume are his enemies for political purposes only, because their source is nothing deeper.

Mr. Burleson's troubles arise from the fact that he has attempted with singular- zeal to carry out an archaic, autocratic policy in the conduct of the postal, telegraph and telephone' services, of the United States. Any postmaster general who will follow the same policy will inevitably face the same public "condemnation and eventually walk, the same plank that Mr. Burleson must walk sooner or later."

GIBBS Chances Good for Jones County Man's Appointment as State Fish Commissioner By JULE B. WARREN Raleigh, April 26. Every indication now points to the selection of J. K. Dixon, of Trenton, Jones county, for fish commissioner.

The governor has been bombarded with( endorsements of various men for the past two weeks and he has turned all of these over to the fish commission without making a recommendation, it is reported on good authority. The governor has only the power to recommend but as a rule the fish commission follows his Mr. Dixon has been secretary of the fish commission since it was' organized arid as such has become very well acquainted with every duty of the commission. Since the death of the late incumbent, Mr. Dixon has been acting fish commissioner arid has looked after the work in such a manner that those interested believe he will well fill the position.

M. S. Lee, it is said, would lave secured a good vote of the commission but "the fact, that he is a stockholder in one of the fish companies of the state caused his chances to depreciate and those who might have supported Mr. Lee indicate that they will vote for Mr. Dixon.

The St. Louis district stands first in the percentage column with 30 per cenf of its quota already subscribed and covered with initial installment payments. The Chicago district ranks second, and Boston third. In volume of sales. New York has $180,000,000, the largest sum, while Chicago has $155,338,000.

Newspapers were urged again to publish in" promient position the market quotations' for bonds of.past fssues, as telegraphed to them daily to prevent small bond owners from "being mulcted of their savings. Other reports to the treasury are to the effect that bend buyers in large cities advertise tlat they have been "licensed" by government to buy liberty bonds. Officials today explained that no brokers have been 'licensed, by the government to buy bonds, and that no formal restrictions are imposedv by the treasury. In several cities, men have established what they call "liberty bond exchangee," offering to take liberty bonds in trade for cheap jewel-, ry or, other merchandise sold in the establishment, and to pay a cash balance above the price, of the merchandise.

The Italian premier received an enthusiastic ovation and the phrase, "Italy, Fiume, Dalmatia," was displayed prominently. Foreign Minister Sonnino and former Premier Salandra of the Italian delegation have, left Paris for Rome to Join the premier. Minor members of the Italian delegation remain in Paris.

There has been little change in the situation in Paris and all there is focussed on Rome and what developments may occur there in the next few days. The British and American delegations are hopeful of a satisfactory adjustment, but are fearful that the enthusiasm of the Italian people may compel the Italain delegation to make demands which cannot be met.

In the face of the world, which is judging us, we must have firmness and a calm, serene conscience. "There are'two questions. The first is whether the government and the Italian delegates have faithfully interpreted the thoughts- and will of the Italian people." The response was thunderous shouts of "Yes." "I never doubted it," continued the premier, "for I know the soul of my people, but confirmation was required. The first question is answered; Rome is consecrating our work." "The second question is to estimate the gravity of the situation. But I do not ask for an immediate reply.
