Search For Mrs. Putnam In

Central Pacific.

Charles C. Putnam, Jr., Of New

York, will shortly leave San Fran cisco leading an expedition which he has organised to search for the Ameri can aviators, Amelia Earhart Putnam and Captain Fred Noonan, who were lost near Howland Island last year. His three-masted schooner will concentrate the search in the Gilbert and Ellice, Union, and Phoenix Groups.

Mr. Putnam is not related to George Palmer Putnam, the aviatrix’s widower, who is convinced that his wife is dead.
