After Accident
Germans Blamed for Cork
Found in Motor of Wrecked
ralup Lame rrom Army
f Storage. -
: Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 29. (Spe
fill lelrgram.) Official of the ai;
uiail service here assert they have
uncovered a r-tot, hatched during the,
war, to disable Liberty motor de
stined for the war tone. The disrov
ery wa made yesterday when 1'ilct
H. A. Chandler of the mail service
wa obliged to make a forced land
ing. , . ,
. Chandler wa flying a tdano ;vli a
brand new motor which fcao just
been turned over to the mail service
by the army. It wa out of the
motor nock intended for overseas
and had never heen uncrated after
leaving the factory until tcccivej
here.
; Smelled faint Burning.
! The pilot left for Salt Lake vit'.i
a load of mail After beimj in th;
air 15 minutei he (mailed paint burn
ing and realiaed that his engine wai
overheating. All hi instrument in
dicated that everything was all in
order so he tood up and examined
the motor.
The fourth and fifth cylinder
were smoking and he started search
ing for a plare to land. A he was
landing at Federal. 22 miles from
here, a connecting rod broke and
Smashed through the crank case.
Chandler says he narrowly escaped
cracking his ship in the forced land
yig. Mechanics from here were ?eut to
repair the plane and brintf the
wrecked motor back. When the mo
ttrr Vas taken apart for repairs a
Jlece of cork was found in the water
system. It was tapered and fitted
m the water jackets between the
fourth and fifth cylinders, causing
them to heat. The cork was so
placed that it is certain, the mechan
ic say, that it, was inserted at toe
factory. , . .
From the position of the cork u
fi-as possible for the engine to be
come overheated without registering
on the plane' instruments The cork
shut off circulation from the fourth
and fifth cylinders while the forward
cylinders, where the thermometer is
attached, would not be affected by
the extreme heat, and all instruments
would register perfectly.
- The pilots and mechanics stationed
at the local field say that the evi
dence they have discovered is suffi
cient to vindicate the Dc Haviland
type plane. This type gained the
name "flaming coffins" overseas. The
airmen here say. that if corks were
inserted in the motors of planes used
on the war front it is probable that
it caused the ships to come down in
flames.
- Orders have been issued here for
flie examination of all other motors
in" the shipment to learn if corks-
were hidden in the water systems. It
u necessary to take the motors com
pletely down for this examination. .
;. Break Speed Record.
; Traveling at an average speed of
150 miles an hour, Chandler broke
the speed - record ' between . Rock
inns and Cheyenne after bis acci-
nt. The total distance is 2s3 miles
atid he made the distance in one hour
ajid 40 minutes with 400 pound of
mail. -
H. Colison, air mail pilot, narrowly
escaped death at Kawlings shortly
before noon, when his motor stalled
while taking off. He had reached
the edge of the field, outbound, and
when hi motor stalled the ship
nosed to the ground and was com
pletely wrecked. '.

Extension of
Tariff Bill Is
Urged by Green
lWa Congressman Cell Diuy
On Return to Capitol ly
Akiug Continuation of
Agriculture Measure.
Washington. Sept. 29. (Special
Tclegram.)-Congrsmati Green oj
' Council Bluff district signalled
tmn to Washington from a
hurried visit to me .inur iowa uis-
trict by Introducing bill extending
the time of the emergency tariff on
farm product to remain in force un
til other Ue provided by law.
In explaining hi reason for this
measure, Judge Green laid: "When
the farmer' emergency tariff till
was introduced I inserted a provi
sion that it should remain in force
for a period of six month after the
date when it became a law. At that
time I considered, and the way and
mean committee agreed, that this
would be ample time to allow for the
rassage of a complete tariff bill,
which would include the tame item
at were covered by the emergency
bilL By virtue of tin' provision, the
emergency tariff bill expire Novem
ber 27 and it is obvious that it should
be extended, if there is any founda
tion for the report now. current that
the time of the senate will be occu
pied during the remainder of the
present session by .the German
treaty, the revenue bill and other
matters, so that final action cannot
be expected ot) the permanent tar
iff bill until the winter tession.
"I wa at first inclined to take the
position that the house should not
accept the senate's action in refus
ing to act upon the tariff and revenue
bills in the order in which they were
passed by the house. I have come
to the conclusion that if the districts
especially interested in manufactur
ing are willing to accept this pro
gram, we of the middlewest can ac
cept its results with some degree
of equanimity, if the emergency tar
iff bill is extended, as I have little
doubt it will be.
"While I am firmly of the opin
ion that the passage of the com
plete tariff bill would do much to
restore business to its normal con
ditions, it is obvious that the ag
ricultural states of the Mississippi
valley do not have as large interests
