Maitland made a beautiful land

flight across the Pacific, amid cheers
of admiring friends. They were es
corted thru two lines of army air

JUDGE HIT CLERK
OF SARPY COUNTY
Papillion. Neb., July 20. The
classic 'turning of the other cheek,"
proved egeetive in ending an alter
cation between Judge J. M. Wheat
and Joseph Sprawn, Sarpy county
clerk, here today.
Sprawn, asked by Miss Esther
Cordes, clerk of the county court, for
some files, mistook her identity, and
when he finally reached the judge'?
office suggested she give her name
rather than the long title to avoid
another misunderstanding. The
judge commented, "There's no use to
tell him anything, he can't under
stand, anyway."
Replying, "Well, I'm not as big a
booby as you are," Sprawn was struck
on the nose. The blow was not re
turned. Judge Wheat is an older
man. The latter asked, "Do you
want me to hit you again?" but did
not deliver when Sprawn said "Yes."
The two have been on bad terms
for some time.
CHARGED OFF ?1C0,000
Omaha, July 20 A balance of
$100,000 was finally charged off to
profit and loss by the Guaranty Trust
company of Nw York on its $300,
000 loan to M. E. Smith Co., J. D.
Orr, credit manager, testified today
at the mail fraud prosecution of
Ward M. Burgess, former president
of the Smith company, a dry goods
concern, and of Burgess-Nash com
pany, a department store, now both
defunct.
Mr. Orr was called to identify a
'series of financial statements of the
M. E. Smith Co., submitted by Mr.
i Burgess and others, on the basis cf
I which loans were made. The finan
cial statements were based on an
audit by Frank Ahforth, Chicago ac
countant, who with Burgess and
Morey V. Porter, former auditor of
the Burgess-Nash Co., are charged
with using the mails to defraud in
connection with the sale of stock and
the securing of loans.
WELCOME TO BE LACKING
Berlin, July 20. Baron Ago von
Maltzan, German ambassador to the
United States, told American news
papermen today he greatly regretted
that German aviators evidently were
planning to fly to America in August.
At the same time, he said that the
German embassy in Washington
would give such aviators all possible
cooperation.
"They will, of course, get a hearty
welcome in America," Said the am
bassador, "but the president will be
on vacation out west, the diplomatic
corps will be in Maine, and Massa
chusetts and other summer resorts,
and most of the officials will be on
holiday. So far as the embassy's as
sistingthem, this goes without say
ing, but at least we must know who
is flying. At present there is much
secrecy on the part of the airplane
companies."
