President Assailed. V; V. President Harding was assailed in the senate by Senator Stanley, demo crat, .Kentucky, for what he de scribed as the "order" given to the senate to recommit the bonus bill. Senator Stanley declared there was only one thing that could have made the president "turn his back" on the 4,000,000 former service men. That thing, he said, was "the. silent insidious power of mammon;'; the ring of the dollar." . , None of- the crown heads ;pt , Europe would have dared 'to do -what the ortsident did.i Senator . Stanley said, adding that the event "would go down as a "blot on his tory." . .

U Senator Watson, republican, Indi ana, replying, said the movement to recommit bonus bill was not initi ated by the president, that the presi dent acted only after he had been urged to do so by senators who pointed out the federal financial sit uation to him. He said nearly one third of the democratic senators .cither voted or were paired to re commit the bill and that in the face 'ot this, they were now charging the . republicans ivith being "tools of Wall street." , The first proposal taken up was "that by Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, to continue the . excess profits tax as a means of financing the "five way" adjusted compensa tion plan. After the bonus issue is disposed of, leaders expect rapd progress on the tax revision bill with possible passage Monday night. Debate to day was enlivened by an attack on ; Secretary Mellon by Senator La Fol lette, republican, Wisconsin, and a defense of him by Senator Watson, republican, Indiana. La Follette Raps Mellon. "We have heard," said' Senator La Follette, "that wealth defies the government, that it will not pay its taxes, but the fiscal head of this gov ernment has laid it down as a propo- pay and that we might as well ac cept that proposition; that we have got to establish a system of taxa tion that will make the people pay that wealth will not bear. That is the declaration and it comes impu dently and brazenly from the head of the fiscal department of this gov ernment He ought to be retired for making this sort of declaration." Senator Watson took sharp, issue "with Senator La Follette's interpre "tation of Mr. Mellon's testimony be fore the senate finance committee .when the tax bill was being draft ed. "The secretary," he declared, "did not say ana tne secretary oia not mean and I don't think any possi ble construction placed upon his uIUUiUUUJ " V.l .1 II, -to say that be was in favor of the "evasion cf taxation by the rich. . "It is not concehreable that the secretary would come before a high committee of -congress and advo cate evasion of taxation."

Portugal has granted permission for the deportation of ex-Emperor Charles of Asurria, the former empress ana their children to Funchsl, Madeira island, where they will reside. Their home probably will be m the wing of an enormous building at l unchal, which was intended as a sanitarium when it was constructed by a group of German financiers. The building never was finished be. cause of a disagreement between the Portuguese government and the Germans, and has been unoccupied. Aero Congress Is Closed With Aviators' Ball .Military Uniforms of Guests Make Pretty Picture With Background of Allied Flags.. The first International Aero con gress closed Saturday with the First Annual Aviators' ball held at the municipal auditorium, under the aus pices of the Aero club of Omaha. The huge auditorium, brilliantly lighted and decorated with flags of the allied nations, presented a vivid picture of the days before and dur ing the war, when the uniform was the passport anywhere. 'lhe grand march, starting about 10, was led by Captain Eddie Rick- enbacker, American ace, with Miss Gertrude Stout as his partner. The noted aviator, assisted by Miss Stout, passed the programs of the evening s entertainment to the visiting aviators and their friends. Nearly all of the airmen were in uniform. Jack Peacock, P. M. Downs and Stephen D. Day were the committee on arrangements for the ball. - Association Formed. The National Air association is the name temporarily adopted yes terday by the air congress delegates for the new organization, of air men. After a long discussion the defini tion of the word "flyer" was finally agreed upon- by a standing vote to include both, pilot and mechanician. According to the constitution of the. association the board of direc tors shall consist of 18 men, nine business men and nine flyers. lhe constitution, as adopted by the association, has for its purpose the promotion of the air industry of the United States. A resolution that the air industry of the country be placed under government control also was passed. Sidney D. Waldron, Detroit, Mich., was elected president of the associa tion; Col. R. S. Hartz, Washington, Eddie Rickenbacker and Albert Bond, Lambert, N. Y., were named as vice . presidents. A board of di rectors consisting of two men from each army corps area were elected. Cashier oj 3how is 4 Held for Robbery (Continued From Page One.) she was ''doing this; Saturday night that Carroll was struck on the head and pitched forward on the floor, this being her first intimation of the robbery. Immediately following 1 rimble s confession, Captain of Police .Walter Anderson ,' and State Sheriff Gus Hyers went to Carroll's home and took him into custody. He was re moved to a hospital, still suffering from the effects of the blow he re ceived at the hands of the robber. Carroll emphatically denied every statement made by Trimble. His wife accompanied him to the hospital. Carroll is about 40 and Trimble is 34 and unmarried. He says his mother lives in Kansas. He formerly was chief engineer at the Lincoln hotel. He has" been employed by the state about a year. , Man Sees Robber Flee. The first clue to the robbery came Saturday night when Sam EJam, standing across the street from the theater, saw a man wearing a mustache run out of the theater. dive into an5 alley and speed away in a car. , Five minutes later a solitary driver crashed his car into a street curb which ends at the university cam pus. A minute later sorority girls put their heads out the window of a dormitory to see a man with a mustache jump out of a badly demolished car and run across the campus. ' The police were notified. That Trimble was owner of the car was learned from the license number. They found the money in the car and on the campus. Inside they found a short piece of gaspipe wrapped in a paper. The paper, un rolled, proved to be wrapping paper of a Beatrice clothing , store which had been torn into two parts. The printing read: "Wei Gents 6681. Trimble Said Car Gone. Thirty minutes later Trimble clean-shaven, walked Into police headquarters. "I was at a dance tonight," he said, "and some one stole my car." ; Captain Walter Anderson of the Lincoln police department and State. Sheriff Gus Hyers questioned him. A foreign substance on his up per lip was found. Officers declared it was glue. When he was searched fresh glue was found on a notebook. Girls Identified Trimble. Elam identified Trimble. The so rority girls were aroused from their slumber and with a chaperon were taken to police headquarters. They partially identified him. Then an officer arrived at police headquarters with a false mustache found on the university campus. Of ficers went to Trimble's rooming house. The landlady said he had asked to borrow glue early in the evening. Wrapping paper was found in his room. When it was put by the side of the wrapping paper found on the iron pipe officers read: "Weibe's Gent's Furnishing, Be atrice, Neb." Trimble, confronted with the wrapping paper found on the pipe and that found m his room, said: That's the mistala that sticks Larsen Trophy Is Won hyE. F.White In S. V. A. Ansaldo Plane Making Least Speed for 210 Miles, Technically, Made Best Showing In Efficiency. , (Continued From Paso On.) ships completed the distance in that event. Based on the speed results alone it was won by Bob Cochrar, of Arapahoe, Iscb.. at the stick of Lincoln Standard biplane, lie made the ISO miles in one hour. 53 minutes and 46 stfeonds, his average speed be ing 81 miles an hour. . Although compilation of results under the erticiency formula may alter the standing in the light plane event, the speed results, It was be lieved, would, parallel more closely the efficiency score than with the heavier planes as there is a smaller discrepancy in weight. In speed score. N. TJL Trmler. piloting a Longrcn biplane, was sec ond, with one hour, 53 minutes and 17 seconds, an average of 77.yi miles an hour. Buck Weaver in a Laird Swallow finished third in two hours, two minutes and 38 seconds, an aver age of 75.14 miles an hour. Average speeds shown by others in the race were: Clyde Horchemin a Laird Swallow. 70.62 miles an hour: F. A. Donaldson in an OX-S Oriole. 69.6 miles an hour, and Errold Bahl in a Lark monoplane, 57.97 miles an hour. Bahl was forced to make three land ings during the race on account of fuel feed trouble and was not ex pected to finish the event. Forced Down Twice. Twice in the fifth lap the mono plane pilot was forced to go to earth, but he took off and j-tarted again. finally he climbed out on the nose of his plane and attempted to make a carburetor adjustment while the ship was in motion, but failed and was forced to land again. No exceptional piloting marked the running off of the Larsen Trophy event. In fact, it was the most mediocre of any staged during the meet. Had it not been for the fact that the special prizes were awarded light planes, it is. probable there would have been no other contend ers in the race than the three- JL-6 planes. ' . Early yesterday morning pilots of the light planes complained that the conditions of the event were built expressly for the planes made by the donor of the trophy and started to withdraw. Only by dint of the offer of extra prizes were they pur suaded to stay in the race. Then all, except White in his S. V. A., drove only the five laps necessary to win the special prizes. The $2,625 was divided $1,500, first; $750, sec ond, and $325, third. - Finished After Dark, Lack of organization at the flying field and hastily improvised meth ods of checking up the loads of the planes, caused a delay of more than two hours in the start of the race, the first plane being sent away at 2:47 p. m. ' As a result, darkness overtook the last few contestants to finish and flares were lighted at the pylons to guide the flyers to the field. No accidents were reported because of the darkness. . Ar report , that ; Andy Neilsen of Council Bluffs, who was not an entry in thje race, had crashed near the flying field, later proved to be without foundation. The Sport Farnam plane, piloted by D. H. Robertson and ownedby W. Wallace Kelt of New r York, which landed ot the west, leg of the course after making three laps in the race, was undamaged except for minor breaks in the landing gear. Kellett said last night it would be flown back to the umana neia today and later would be: flown to Kansas City. Neither Robertson nor his passenger Was injured. Wins Jumping Contest. W. H. Marian of Nelson, Neb., won first prize in the parachute jump, landing within lis yards of a circle placed in the landing . hem. Clvde Duncan of North Platte won second olace. landing within 37 vards of the circle. The other jumpers landed in this ordpr. Edward Kohlstead, Cherpkee, la., 59 yards from the circle; W. H. Bat- tenheld, Nelson, . Jeb., i yards; Parker D. Crainer. Bradford, Pa., 143 yards: Raymond Russell, 153 vards: Paul Duncan, 170 yards: Ar ihur Bluto. Council Bluffs, .176 vards: Tohn Kirk. Omaha, 252 yards J. Hodgens Smith of Beaver City, Neb., won the stunt flying contest with, a total of 72 points out of a possible 100. Second prize was won by Ertett Williams, Arkansas City, with 69 points. Third was won by Eddie Deeds of the Omaha Aero club, 33yi points. Parachute Jumper Hurt The first accident of the day oc curred when Parker D. Cramer, parachute jumper, Bradford, Pa., fell against a Sinclair oil truck standr ing 143 yards from the white circle at the south end of the field. Cramer was severely injured, ac cording to doctors who rushed to his aid. He. was given first aid by the Red Cross and hospital attend ants. He had just leaped from an airplane at an altitude of 1,500 feet and was landing when he fell against the side of the truck, b.eing knocked unconscious. Four other parachute junipers had negotiated their stunts before him A few minutes after Cramer was injured. Art Bluto of Council Bluffs, narrowly escaped serious hurts when he fell against the side of a barn south of the field as his parachute caught on the roof of the building. He was unhurt, however. 10,000 Saw Race. A crowd estimated at close to 10.- 000 persons witnessed the windup aerial show program and stayed until darkness came. Even then 'a few lingered as the belated pilots came down by the light of the bonfire flares. At dawn today most of the visitiiifi pilots planned, to .be on their way trom Omaha. ' Most of them ex pressed the opinion that Omaha field. if properly drained, will make one of the best flying fields in, the country. Many were - dissatisfied with the handling of the events, but believed the experience gained would enable Omaha to stage some of the best aviation programs in the -United States in the future. JL-6 Pilot's "Good Race. Forchodc 111, Says Reporter Monotony of Circling Occupants Until-Well Then "The Thing" Hap . pened and Everyone Dismounted. . ' By JOSEPH T. ARMSTRONG!. After leading all competition in the. Larsen trophy race for several laps, we were forced to land in a meadow some five miles west of Lovelund. la. "We" includes ' John M. Larsen. builder of JL-6 monoplanes and donor of the Larsen trophy; Miss Grace O'Brien, John F. Markel. Ed ward Rice, 10, and a reporter for The Bee. The race resembled a horse race t the start. Everyone who was to ride a shm weiuhcd in like jockeys. The reporter was assigned to "ride" Mr. Larsen s own pet ship, which was painted yellow. Give Obituary Facts, He weighed in at 142 pounds: Mr. Larsen tipped the scale at well over 250 pounds: Mr. Markel s weight was 222 pounds; Edward weighed 791-2 pounds, and Miss O'Brien tipped the scale at well, at between 100 and 150 pounds, to be inexact After being thoroughly photo graphed and giving out facts con cerning our lives which could only be used in obituaries, we climbed into the cabin of our ship. The cabin was very reassuring. To begin with it was well uphol stered. In case of a crash uphol stering is said to be very desirable. Flowers Were Lacking. There were small lockers in the cabin, too, in which food and thrist quenching beverages were stored. bilver holders tor flowers in the cabin were empty. lhe very thought of flowers at this moment, especially lilies, was extremely un pleasant. B. II. rcarson, our piot, was quite cool and collected as certain busi ness-like and somewhat Krim prep arations for departure were made. It was to be a long race; a race for blood, and nothing was being over looked. Pearson s calmness was soothing. Unfortunately, however, he was asked to pose for a photograph with the reporter. Good-bye. old man, he said sol emnly, as he and the reporter 'clasp ed hands before the camera man. ' Joking "Gets" on Nerves. No doubt he was joking', but he really shouldn't have said "good bye" in that tone of voice. Even the well-upholstered cabin failed to soothe the reporters nerves after that "good-bye." Then Mr. Larsen entered the cabin. The motor roared. The entire ship vibrated. It moved southward across the field. I I'm just beginning to realize we're about to go up," said ' Miss O'Brien. : There may or may not have been a tremor in her voice. ''Quite so. You aren't alone there," replied the reported. There may or may not have been a tremor in his voice. "Flagship" Starts Trip. , A bump or so more, than a smooth, gliding motion.' The yellow mono plane, flagship, and most power ful of the Larsen fleet, had taken trie air. There followed a ratlJer steep bank, which gave the . reporter a view "straight downward to the field, through one of the cabin windows- view that he had no desire for and the ship flattened out on its course. ; 1 "Hot dogs" and liquid refresh ments were produced before the first lap of the race had been flown. Two "dog" sandwiches were passed for ward to Pilot Pearson and Mechanic Ernest Buehl. :. , Business of looking out the win dow and telling each other they were born aviators occupied the lime of the passengers for a bit. The thing became almost as tame as riding in a Pullman car, and much like itr minus the dust before the , second lap had been completed. I i . Edward Gets' Restless. ;? Little Edward, who we must re member is only 10, actually became restless from . the monotony. He began showing an . inclination to leave our cozy cabin to venture forth and try walking on a wing. The whole thing seemed to lack a "kick." Then we passed the first rival ship. This rival ship was a bi plane, numbered 31. We all would have sprung to our feet and yelled with sheer joy, only the roof of the cabin wasn't high enough. The ship we passed seemed to be stand ing still, floating in midair. This occurred at '3:50, according to our watches and the ship's clock in the cabin' wall. A minute later we passed a Laird Swallow. Our altitude was about 800 feet. The motor roared on, without a break. It was working perfectly. At 3:55 we passed a bi plane numbered 72. A minute later we saw far below us a white speck, which we recognized as the tiny Lark monoplane. It apparently had . been forced into a landing. Making Fast Time. There is something hypnotizing about the mechanical perfection in the drone of a powerful motor. Our motor, we were told, was making 1,500 revolutions to the minute. The ship was reeling off the laps at the rate of about 18J4 minutes to each. . We were feeling a bit drowsy as we passed over North Omaha field for the start of the sixth lap. Miss O'Brien actually seemed to be tak ing a short nap, and even little Ed ward wsa quiet. We had passed the pylon at Love land and were droning our way to ward the next pylon when "the thing" happened. Our motor missed, then stopped. We seemed to hang suspended, then with a helpless, loggy motion swooped downward. After listening to the roar of the motor for more than two hours the silence was ap palling . , Mechanic Buehl worked feverish ly. The mighty motor responded but weakly. There was the elint of wa ter below. e stirred uneasily as the shir glided rapidly downward Miss OBnens face paled: her hps were compressed. Through the tiny door in the front of the cabin. Pilot Pearson could be seen, tense, vet ef ficient. Rough ground loomed ip below. The speed seemed terrific aa the ship rapidly descended. Race Over for Ship. There waa another sickening Bye," at Start of 30-Mile Course Actually Palled swoop. A hay stark flew past on the right And the yellow JL-i monoplane landed without a jolt a meadow. It raced towards a fence veered to the right and cime to a halt. 1 lie tune was 4:49. We dismounted in silence. With a good lead in our favor we had been forced out of a race which we had every reason to expect to win, We watched several ships, rival ships, almost enemy ships, flying by on the horizon, striving to win the rare we had lost. Pilot Pearson broke the silence, "Has anyone a cigaret?" he asked. Then there was action. Mechan ic Buehl worked feverishly at the motor. He discovered that the trou ble was of a minor nature. A wash er on the well spring of the motor had broken. It would cost not more than 10 cents to make the repair, Mr. Larsen said. Farmers, boys and women began arriving on the scene of the forced landing. They peeped into the lux urious cabin with admiring glances, .tools were demanded and a man hastened away to bring them. Mr, Larsen had hopes that his good ship might be repaired in time to finish the race. Telephone wires were taken down to enable our ship to take off with less danger from the small field. There were but two laps and a little more to go. The sig. nal fires still burned at the pylon near Loveland. But the dusk thickened and the motor refused to start. Larsen Is Sportsman. It was here Mr. Larsen showed his true sportsmanship. "We're through," he announced "It was a good race. I hope the peo ple enjoyed it. But to think of the thousands of miles we ve traveled in this ship without a bit of trouble, tnen in tne race " The rest of tu were as near tears as was Mr. Larsen. We tramped through the dark to a farmhouse. There was a' dog with an unfriendly paric, out we went in. Lars arrived. We waited in' Loveland in a tiny grocery store for several hours for cars to arrive from Omaha. The story is ended, but for one thing. Miss O Bnen wants the world to know she really wasn't frightened, even when the motor stopped. "I rather wished I hadn't eaten that sandwich when we were going down so fast," she admitted. "Rut wasnn't it a glorious trip. We'll have to go again sometime. Loss to Cattle Feeders Immense Court Dockets Crowded With Mortgage Foreclosures ' Oyer $600,000. . ' Grand Island, Neb., Nov. - -6. (Special.) As indicative of the sit uation iii some of the north " and northwestern counties in which there is considerable - stock feeding con nected with the farming, it-- is re ported that out of 115 cases filed for the September term of court in Loup, Garfield and Wheeler counties, 75 are mortgage foreclosures; the total decrees already entered running over $600,000. ; ; . The population of these counties combined is less than 10,000. The census of. 1910 gave Loup county Alls; Uarheld, 3,417, and Wheeler, 2,292, a total of 7,827. The 1920 cen sus may have reduced this total rather than increased it, for many of the rural regions in .Nebraska lost in population in 1920, as compared with 1910.

Chlrafo Tribune-Omaha llr liwd W!r. Washington, Nov. 6. Senstor Tom Watson of Georgia added another lively chapter to the controversy over the alleged hanging of Ameri can soldiers in France. Replying to the blunt denials put forward by Secretary of War Weeks and General Pershing, Senator Wat son made his charges stronger than ever, declaring ' that "apparently there were more gibbets than hos pitals in 1- ranee. He took Secretary Weeks sharply to task for the language he used in denying the Watson charges. Mr. Weeks said that no decent man would have made such statements," referring to Watson s assertion that "officers made courtesans of nurses in France. He warned General Pershing that the senate still retained power to call a general of the army before it and reprimand him for the use of such language as he employed in charac terizing the Georgia senator's state ments. . Submits Letters. He also submitted to' the senate a large number of letters and tele grams sent him by ex-service men offering to prove his charges of exe cutions. One of the letters, written by a former soldier living at Hunt ington, W. Va contained several photographs of a gibbet erected in France. Senator Watson began his speech by reading Secretary Weeks denial He told the senate he was willing to submit the facts to an impartial tribunal to decide whether he was any less "decent than Secretary Weeks. lie read a letter from a woman who said she was a former army nurse in France. She said his charges that officers "made cour tesans of the nurses were correct in many instances. If nurses rejected officers' attention, she said, they were subjected to annoyances and indig nities. The Georgia senator told the sen ate he would endeavor to have many of the ex-service men who arc writ ing him appear before the special in vestigating committee of the senate. Will Protect Witnesses. "And if any member of. the mili tary clique tries to crowd into the Court room and browbeat the wit nesses, they'll find me on hand to protect them," he added. "They're not m France how Ihev cant hide things behind a' censorship. Answering General Pershing he said: "When a general denounces a sen ator as a liar, he hud better lemem- ber that it is still within vne power of the senate to bring him here and reprimand him. That time may come. We will do it it he talks that way to many more senators." He read a letter from an ex-service man charging that Col. Edwin St. John, Greble compelled prisoners, to dress as women, wastj their. teeth with soap, -and take cold showers every afternoon during the winter.

It was all that was left of a pretty little village be- fore the war. Arras Is Devastated. "Before the war, Arras was a city of 55,000. After the war only one house was left that didn't have to be rebuilt and of the population only 500 natives were left. They were all living in dugouts and cel lars. "It has been estimated that 20, 000,000 lives were lost, and the tales I have heard from Belgian refugees are terrible. I feel like praying with all my heart to God that He will scatter those that delight in war. ' "There are war "mothers in Eng land who spread the chairs around the table a little farther apart now so the vacant places wont look so bare. "I hate war as I hate hell, and I'll fight to. the death all those who preach war." The entire audience greeted this statement with loud ap plause. "One day a man asked me, 'Will you ever forgive Germany?' I said. Yes. when uermany repents 1 11 lor give her,' but so far Germany hasn't shown any sorrow over what she has done except that of a thiet caught red-handed. The Bible teaches us to forgive, but it also teaches that forgivness comes after repentance. Countries Must Be Bound. "The war was not of our seeking. It was the result of outrages. When the word came to England of the atrocities practiced in Belgium out hoys went to war. They said to Germany, 'No matter what you have in store for tis you'll never make us break our word to little Belgium.' . "I hope Mr... Harding's speech In which he said, This must never hap pen again,' will prove a great pro phecy and that there will never be another war. There never will be as long as the two great English-speak ing nations stand shoulder-to shoul der. "I would take the wedding finger of England and that of America and with Gods great ring of love, wed the two nations. I would then say, 'Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.' "Any man who does or says any thing to divide the two nations is an enemy to the race. We need you in America and you need us in Eng land. Old England has done a lot for you. The best you have came from the old country. God means for us to be together. Must Be Spiritual Revival "For world peace it is necessary that there be revival of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
