Mercantile ships and naval sea plane* earl/ today had searched 1 nearly all Hawaiian waters with-, out finding the slightest trac* of the Miss llinan and Mm tloWin ' Eagle, Dale race entrants tkree, days overdue In Honolulu and without doubt either wrecked or, helpless. Submarines had investigated j the windward side of all the 1m- I lands except Kauai while sen planes have rounded Cahua ami j most of Maul and Mnlokal. Sub marines also searched the water* between the inlands of Maui, Ha waii and Kahoolawe. ? j Meanwhile other naval vessels' are searching from San Franelfcco and the destroyers Sunnadln and Pelican are covering fixed courses at sea north of Maul. The Associated Press represen tative aboard the Sunnadln re ported'high seas off Makapau^ Point, Inland of Oatlu. at midnight' of Wednesday which caused naval authorities to express doubt as to the ability of an airplane to sur vive on the surface of the water. The rumor crop Friday was much smaller than on Thursday, principally because of the reac tion locally against publication In; the Honolulu advertiser of the erroneous report that the Miss Do ran. piloted by John A. Pedlar, and navigated by Lieutenant Vilas K. Knopf, with Miss Mildred Do ran of Flint, Michigan, as passen* ger, had been found and those aboard rescued.

Those present at the meeting stood for a half minute In silent prayer for the safety of the occupants of the Miss Doran and the Golden Eagle. Martin Jensen, pilot of the sec ond plane, Aloha, expressed the opinion that Pedlar In the Miss Doran probably came to the water between 600 and 800 miles from San Francisco, basing his belief on his remembrsnce of Pedlsr's pre vious mechanical trouble with the ninth .cylinder of his motor.

Weeds Exasperate City Police Force Says Chief Ilank growth of weeds on va rious lots of the city are the cause of considerable exasperation to the pollen department, according to a statement made to this paper by Chief of Police L. R. Holmes. A city ordinance is In force which requires that all property owners keep their premises free from an abnormal growth of weeds and the accumulation of rubbish of any nature. The custom has been followed heretofore as a san itary and hygelnlc measure and also to make the city more attrac tive to cltlsens and visitors. It has been Ignored by some this year, states the chief. The officer maintains that pride alone should be sufficient to cause prudent property owners to obey this ordinance, and when the diminishing of the fire huzard Is taken Into consideration, he falls to understand why any farsighted citizen should neglect such an im portant operation, "I have used gentle persua sion," he said, "until my patience ban become exhausted, and I In tend now to employ more drastic measures In compelling obedlenco to this ordlnanc."
