They were picked up all alive and well, sides Major Franco there were Major Gonzales Gallarza, Captain Ruiz De Alda and the mechanic Sergeant Pedro Maadariaga, The four men left Alcazares Air- drome, Cartaagena, Spain, at 4.50 p.m, Friday of last week. They passed over Cadiz and last were heard from about midnight Fri. day with a radio message saying they had just passed . Cape Saint Vincent, Portugal, and were head- ing out to sea. The aviators' plane was sal- vaged also, although in slightly damaged condition, It was hoisted on board the carrier. A radio mes- sage from the Eagle gave their position when they were found at latitude 36.28 north longitude 24.14 west. This position is about a hundred miles south east of San- ta Maria on the tip of the Azores Archipelago. The Spanish Ministry of State made the announcement first, stating it had received a message from the Spanish consul at Gibral- tar that the Eagle had picked up the missing aviators and was bringing them to Gibraltar, The consul"s messagae merely sald: "Franco and companions picked up alive by Fagle near Azores coming Gibraltar." Later messages from London said the British Admiralty had an- || nounced the Eagle had found the missing men, all alive and well. The reports occasioned the greatest jubllation here where the govern- ment and even the men's best friends had all but given up hope for them, The aviators had been missing no more than 24 hours before it was generally acknowledged they had failed to reach first stop in their projected flight to New York. This was the result of an announcement early Satur- day by General Primo De Rivera, Spanish dictator, that they had reached San Miguel Island, Azores, safely, and were continuing to Horta. The Spanish premier afterward announced his advices were erron- eous and search for the missing men began. Friday of this week the Spanish 22 Injured as Bus Turns Over Two Drivers Being Held for Investigation by Sheriff Youngstown, ©O., June 29.-- Twenty-two persons were injured, 7 seriously, when a Nevin Line bus bound from Pittsburgh to Detroit struck a culvert and turned over in a 7 foot ditch several miles south of here early today, Two drivers were being held for investigation at a hospital by Sher- iff Adam Stone, of Mahoning County.

CROWN ATTORNEY SAYS NEW CHARGE TO BE LAID AGAINST OSHAWA MAN Y Churge Arise ¢ Out of the Drowning of Mrs. Frank Kobernick While She Was Boating With Buono on June 19 NATURE OF CHARGE IS NOT DIVULGED Action of Crown Is Ine fluenced by the Evidence and Verdict Given at the Inquest Held Last Night (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 29.--A serious charge will be laid against Frank Buono, Oshawa Italian, as a results of the finding of a coroner's jury which investigated into the death of Mrs. Frank Kobernick, who was drowned in the local harbor a week ago last Wednesday night while boating in a punt with Buono.

The Eagle had been loaned for the hunt 'by the British Admiralty at the request of the Spanish Gov- ernment, » The Spanish Government com- municated the news to relatives of the four men. News of the safe discovery of the four men spread quickly here and the streets of the capital were filled immediately with excited crowds, jubilant over the tidings. There were scenes of utmost re- joilcng and release from tension on every side. The message from the Eagle to the admiralty and to authorities at Gibraltar did not state whén the men were picked up but it was assumed to have been today, just one week after they were forced down into the sea on their flight from Cartagena to the Azores. Their position when they were found was not far from .that at which the British steamship Grel- dom reported it had heard a plane's motors early Saturday morning of last week.

George S. Henry Makes Appeal to Motorists For Safe Driving on Holiday presented to the library of Centre Street Public School by Arthur Sly- Col- The set contains Toronto, June 29.--"During we next few days, highway traffic in Ontario will possibly be heavier than ever before", stated Hon, Geo. S. Henry, Minister of Highways, today. "The Canadian National holiday and the United States National holiday coming in the same week, is 'bound '| to result in thousands of additional motor cars using our roads. As Chairman of the Highway Safety Committee, I want to point out that this greatly increased trafic aug- ments the dangers of motor travel. "The Highway Safety Committee is using every means at its command, newspapers, billboards, radio, etc., to bring home forcibly to the minds of all motor drivers that extreme care must be exercised, especially during the crowded conditions which we an- ticipate during the next few days. Our motto, 'Care, Courtesy and: Com- mon Sense', covers every highway sin, and if motorists keep those three terms in mind, accidents will be prevented. Officers In Uniform "Drivers on the highways will find trafic patrols now in khaki uni- forms. These are all.picked men. The public will find them 'obliging and instead of trying to irritate mo- torists, they try to help them. At the same time, these trafic' patrols will not hesitate to enforce the rules of the road and the highway laws of our provincg, One of their main du- ties is to promote safe and sang driving. Causes of Accidents "In our advertising this .week, we are stressing the fact that it is ut- terly reckless driving to pass another car when nearing the brow of a hill, on a curve, or anywhere else where the road ahead is obscured. Hvery driver, before passing another car, should see that the road ahead is clear, should sound his horn te give warning, and should make cer- tain that there is a place for' him in the traffic line ahead. We find that disobedience to this ordinary rule of the road causes too many ac- cidents, and I wish personally to urge upon every driver during the next few days, to obey, it to the let- ter."
