SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11, (UP) -Grappling hooks dragged the bottom of San Francisco bay today for the bodies of seven passengers still missing from the crash of a United Airlines luxury liner while authorities intensified efforts to determine the cause of the plunge which carried 11 persons to death. Investigators concentrated on two angles for explanation of the fifth west coast airline tragedy within
two months.
First, was the wreck itself. It will he examined minutely to determine whether a mechanical failure caused the plane to dive in the bay. Second, is the log kept by the chief radio operator at the airport. Experienced fliers believed that Pilot A. R. (Tommy) Thompson, vet- I cran of 10.000 flying hours, either overshot the landing field at the end of his flight from Los Angeles Tuesday night and in attempting to lose altitude too rapidly caused one of the motors to be ripped from the plane, or misjudged his altitude and struck the water.

REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT Information was sent to several parties in Greencastle Wednesday night that the proposed rc-assessm n'. ol real estate in Indiana, as embodied in a bill in the state Legislature, had Im- n indefinitely postponed However this forenoon a telephone message from Indianapolis conveyed the information that the bill would come before th ■ Legislature for considerat-
tion.
To some persons who have followed legislative matters this season, this enange of plan is taken to mean the administration is back of the reconsideration and, that being the case, the passage of the bill is probable. FLOOD ( REST HITS ARKANSAS

CHAS. REEVES PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT
DEATH ( 1 \1MS WEST WALNUT STREET RESIDENT AT HOSPITAL WAS FORMER (TTY MARSHAL Deceased Hud Been Employed By Traction Company For Jinny Years Charles Fremont Reeves, a former city marshal and one of Greencastle’s best known citizens, died at 10:30 o’clock Wednesday night at the Putnam county hospital of diabetes. He was taken to the hospital last Sunday evening after falling twice in his home during the day from weakness. He declined rapidly after that attack with death reaulting. The funeral services will be held Friday afternon at 2 o'clock from the McCurry funeral hume at 222 east Washington street, witli burial at Brick Chapel. Rev. Claude M. McClure, pastor of the Gobin Memorial church, will have charge. Pallbearers will be Walter Crawford. W. P. Lockridge, E. R. Bartley, Ernest Browning, F. C. Schoenman, and Arthur Shonkwiler. Friends may call at the funeral home any time after 6:30 o’clock this evening. Mr. Reeves was born Nov. li, 1856 his parents having been Stacey L. and Nancy Haillett Reeves, whose homo was a short distance east of Brick Chapel. He was one of eight children, and was the last survivor of a family of four brothers and four sisters. Mr. Reeves' marriage to Miss Lillie Day took place Jan. 15, 1908. At that time he was city marshal of Greencastle, serving under Mayor James McD. Hays for two years. Half a year after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves purchased their present residence property on west Walnut street. By an earlier marriage, Mr. Reeves had one son, Walter, now of Brick Chapel, and through that relationship he ' leaves four grandchildren and three great-grandchild-
ren.
After retiring as city marshal, Mr. Reeves was placed in charge of the Girton sub-station west of the city, by the former T. H. I. & E. traction company, later the Indiana Railroad, and he remained in that same position without a break for more than 26 years, until he was furloughed a year ago, the substation having been discontinued. From that time his health declined. Mr. Reeves was a faithful member of the Methodist church, first at Prick Chapel, then of the former College Avenue church, and after the consolidation, of the Gobin Memorial church. He was a teacher in the Sunday school of the old College Avenue church under the superintendency of Dr. Salem B. Town. Prior to being city marshal. Mr Reeves was connected with a farm implement company an a state salesman. Mr. Reeves was a staunch believer in the Republican party and at all times was an earnest exiniundcr of that, party’s teachings, a trait inherited from his forefathers. Mr. Reeves often said that his father came to Putnam county from Kentucky in 1830, and had a shoe shop in Greencastle on the south side of the public square where CannOn’s store is now located, and that it was his custom to go across the street to the public square and cut wood for his shop stove, the court house being located elsewhere in that early day.
