pensacola, Fla., March 25. Scores
of naval air and surface craft today
took up anew th search for the free
balloon, from the naval air station
here which was reported adrift at
sea yesterday with five men aboard.
The last heard from balloon yes
terday was that lt then was off 8U
Andrews Bay, drifting toward the
open sea and only about 100 feet
above the water. Two messages
brought In by carrier pigeons told
the plight of the balloonist. The
last said all ballast had been thrown
overboard, but at that time tho big
gas bag was slowly sinking. , ;
" A dirigible and a number of sea
plane wera immediately dispatched
to he location given, but found no
trace of the balloon either in the
air or on the water. Later surface
craft were sent out and a wireless
message wan sent to all ships in the
vicinity to be on the lookout for the
airmen.
The balloon left tho air station at
5 o'clock Tuesday evening for an
all-night flight, expecting to drift
inland, but apparently a shift in the
wind took them toward the coast.
The craft is In command of Chief
Quartermaster E. K. Wllkerson, one
of the most experienced fliers at the
station, ann: in aoiuuon carried
Machinist Mate R. V. Bland and
Elkershaw Joel and W. Tressery,
Naval officers said it was possible
the fliers naa lanuu uii wie cuaai in
some of the out-of-way places and
it may be a day or two before they
could reach a point from which they
could communicate with the air sta
tion. The naval station here announced
at S a. m., that no word of the miss
ing balloon had been received. Of
ficials indicated that some kind of
n-port would be made later In the
day from Panama City where the
seaplanes and a dirigible with radio
equipment were sent to establish a
minor base of operations. .,,
. Mr. , Lewis C. Stewart, aged 72
years, committed suicide this morn
ing at his home four miles south of
the city on the Kernersvillo road, by
shooting himself In the abdomen
with an old army pistol. Mr. Stewart
had been in 111 health for several
years and for about three weeks had
been confined to his bed. He and
Mrs. Stewart lived alone, and this
morning, while Mr. Stewart was left
alone, when Mrs. Stewart was en
gaged in seeing to some work on the
farm, he secured the pistol and fired
the fatal shot about o clock. The
shot was not heard, but when Mrs.
Stewart returned to the house she
found her aged husband In a dying
condition, the end coming about
noon.
Tho deceased Is a natlvo of For
syth and spent practically his entire
life In the county. Ho was formerly
a farmer and dairyman and was
recognized as a successful and pros
perous farmer.
He Is survived by Mrs. Stewart and
two daughters, Mrs. Charles C. Sap p.
of Sedge Garden community, and
Mrs. J. C. Chappel, of Pine Bluff,
Arkansas.
The funeral will be conducted to

Comiwratlve Quiet Today
Berlin, March 25. Governmental
authorities today continued their
efforts to avert further communist

towns there came yesterday a pe

new outbreaks might come at any
time.
Forces of security police were

control of that city, is Imminent.
Loyal forces were holding a part of
the town, but were being besieged
by the communists at last reports.
