ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.. May 2l.—(C.P. Cab1e)—Afrcr skirting the coast line of Nova Bcotia and passing over the French islands. St. Pierre and Ml- quelon and Newfoundland, the giant zeppelin Hindenburg was heading out over the Atlantic tonight, with prospects of setting a new flight re- cord.

The air liner was pushed along most of the day by a strong west wind and was proceeding by the

Most easterly point. to sight th craft was Elliston near Cabot's landfall, Cape Bonavista which re- ported the Hindenburg at three AST, then she disappeared sea- wards.

Villfleers along the coast of New- foundland had an excellent view of the Zep which shone brilliantly in the sunshine. Over St. Pierre, the cruiser was flying low and retarded her speed for a time.

The Hindenburg, instead of pas- sing over villages and towns of No- vs Bcotia as on her first flight, kept well cfl the coast line today, ship- ping past hcadlands. It passed within to miles of Halifax City and was sighted by the Halifax llghtship at 8:20 A. S. T. To citizens anxious

to view her, the Hindenburg looked like a thin cloud on the horizon.

Britain To Push Search F; Missing Red Cross Worker

LONDON. May 21-The British Government “Ls taking and win take the most energetic steps" to clear up the whereabouts of a British Red Cross worker missing in Ethiopia, the House of com- mons was lold today.

Viscount Cranrborne. under- secretary for foreign affairs, gave this smurance in the case of L, J, Bonner.

Bonner, a nursing orderly, was started by train for French Som- alilanri after undergoing treatment for rabies in Addis Ababa where he had been bitten by I. mad dog.

Lord Cranborne said Bonner was left behind at Dirvdawa May 15 when he left the train to search for a bag containing money which "he had either lost or been deprived of."

Subsequently the British consul at Harar. near Diredawd. was in- formed of Italian claims that evi- dence had been found that Bon- ner had been employed by the Ethiopian army—an allegation the Consul denied.

Ursent representations were made to Italian authorities two days ago by the Consul when the arrest of Bonner was reported.

The government, it was disclos- ed. is deliberating the question of the legation guard in Addis Ababa. raised informally by the Italians. Rome is seeking withdrawal of the detachment. of Sikhs sent to Eth- iopia before the war started.

DJIBOUTI. French Bomaliland, May 2l—(c. P.)—’I‘he Haves News A---.cy reported tonight that L. J. Bonner, British Red Cross worker whose disappearance precipitated official activity in London will ar- rive here tomorrow.

hO(7KPOR'1‘, N. 5.. May 21- Volunieer firefighters from nearby towns saved Lockeport from de- struction tonight after six build- ings had been raped and three others badly damaged, with a low of more than $25,000.

Eleven other buildings caulht file as a strong northwest wind carried sparks and burning paper a quarter of a mile but the flames were extinguished before any dam- age was done.

Heaviest loser was George Hard- ing, who owned the barn where the fire started late this afternoon, I-lls barn, five cows, residence and fur. album were destroyed.

other ‘buildings razed were the Baptist parsonage, occupied by Rev. H. W. Hill, the parsonage gar.

age. and the residence and garage of Hiram Lloyd.

Church Damaged

The Baptist Church was saved after part of the roof had been burned but water caused serious damage inside. Residence of Cap- tain Ralph McKenzie and John Stuart were damaged.

The fire broke out in the rear of the large Harding barn about six o'clock and within 16 minutes the building was in mass of flame. The farmer saved three trucks but was blocked by a wall of fire when he attempted to reach the cows.

While he and neighbors were still trying to get through to the ani- mals the Harding residence caught fire——then the parsonage, Captain McKenzic's and a dozen houses down the street.

BOSTON. May 21-!-llgh above Boston harbor, a veteran pilot waged a successful battle in a wildly-whirling plane today to save the life of an attractive young woman who attempted, he said, to plunge to death.

Half-standing in the open cock- pit and still battling the struggling passenger, pilot Charles W. Suther- land came down to a perfect “dead-stick" landing 15 minutes later at East Boston airport.

He guided the ship into the field with his left hand. His right held tightly the curly. chestnut locks of his passenger.

Tonight the young woman. ab- out 22, wag under guard in Boston psychopathic hospital. There, still weeping, she steadfastly refused to reveal her identity. Earlier, at police headquarters. police cap- tain William D. Donovan. said. her only answer to all questions was: “Just give me a gun."

ROME. May 21-—ltaly con- alder: all her trade treaties with suietionlat nations can- eelled and her foreign trade “must change its direction." an authoritative Iouroe declar- ed today.

This view was taken by Vir- glnio Gayda, informed writer of the Giornale I)’lta|ia and a friend of Premier Mussolini.

"Fifty-two sanctionlat states introduced in a system of com- mercial accords a new unilat- eral practice of arrogating to themselves the arbitrary priv- ilege ol opening and closing the faucets of trade with If- aly.” he wrote.

“Commercial treaties with sanctionist countries have been in fact annulled by the in- motive of sanctionists. They must tbereforeheconside ed a nullity and the subject of radical revision."

PARIS, May 21—The French Government termed the expulsion of a French priest from Ethiopia by Italia.. forces “inacceptnble" tonight and a protest to Rome seemed likely. The Government. likewise refus- ed to withdraw troops from Dir- edawu, Ethiopia. despite an Ital- ian request, or to pen-nit railroad shiprnents of Italian supplies. Joseph Paul-Boncour, acting Foreign Minister, called the ex- pulsion from Ethiopia of Monsig- nor Andm Jaroeseau, 78-year-old head of Roman Catholic missions there and “Apostle of Lepers“. “inacce-ptable." An authoritative source said a. protest is being withheld until the order is officially confirmed. Officials also awaited the Pope's reaction, saying international law requires the Vatican's consent for the replacement of missionaries. Mgr. Jarossea.u_ who has been in Ethiopia for 50 years doing much work among lepers. was ordered from the country on grounds of having made “hostile demon- strations against Italy." “The sole question to rilscugz," said Paul-Boncour, “is whether the expulsion was justified. We think it was not."

In another part of the trus ees report he told the meeting that, "coming. as it does. at our time of greatest need for what it offers it may, we think. be classed as one of the grea est, if not the greatest, even‘. in our his- bory."

His Worship Mayor Turner mov- ed that the hearty vote of thanks of the corporation be tendered the trustees of the curidall Home for their generous offer in offering the Hospital the use of the Home. The motion was seconded by Mrs. J. A. Clark, president of the Ladies Aid of the I-Iospi‘al. on behalf of that organimtion. Mr. 1*‘. W. Tid- marsh spoke in support of the mo- tiovn.

Tile report of the trustees as presented by the chainnan, Mr. W. K.

A surplus of $84.93 on the year's business was one of the cheering item‘; contained in the financial statement. The report of the board of trustees appears in full below.

Dr. J. A. Clark, chairman of the property cnmmi tee. in a short re- port told the meeting that very few repairs even of a minor nature
