T11K BKK; OM MIA, SATURDAY, MAY I), 1J)14. 9 WOMEN CENSURE OPPONENTS! political Equality league Holds Meeting at City Hall. MAHER'S POSITION IS SCORED Cnnillilnlr for Governor In Ncliranka Vlio Oppnirn SutfrnRC Ilnkril Ovfr Conln, nn In Democratic Sheet TitkliiK Snnic Slnnil. Colonel John CI. Mahcr, democratic can-1 flHlatc for Kovernor, was laughed to scorn oy meniDers o( tnc I'ouuoni uquamy lcaKue at tlio city hall last night, and the. j Omaha World-Herald was roundly lam basted by the president ot the lcaguo and members becauso o "absolutely unfair" ! cartoons and editorials dealing- with equal ! suffrage. Mrs. Mary B. Newton, president of the league, called attention to Colonel Manor's platform. In which he said he favored "letting the peoplo" rule and was against prohibition and woman suffrage. "What action shall wo take In regard to this matter?" asked Mrs. Newton. "He favors letting tho people rule, but r.ot letting the women vote," stated Mrs. T. B. Brady, and a scornful laugh went around. Finally Mrs. Newton said that, after ll It wnulil nmhnhU. fui hnltAf tn fin nothing at all to Colonel Mahcr. There Colonel Maher was left to his own undoing and tho World-Herald waa put on the rack. "I want to state here that I am proudT of Mrs. Kllzabeth Covcll," said Mrs. New ton. "Sho called tho World-Herald to account for Its unfair cartoon and edi torial dealing with equal suffrage. Wo ought to endorse her action." Mrs. C. I.anclskoy Smith said she had never read anything more "absolutely un fair" to woman suffrage than what, un der the guise of an Impartial statement, appeared editorially In tho World-Herald. Mrs. J. V. Whlto backed up Mrs. Smith's position and for awhile the de nunciation waxed warm, but tho matter ended with Mrs. Newton's repeated praise of Mrs. Covcll. Miss Blanche Van Kuran ot Chicago told of tho lato Chicago campaign and especially ot tho fight made In the Third ward against "Bathhouse John" and of Hlnky Dink's methods. 8ho said "Bathhouse John" Is a '-'smart Ignorant man" and might havo turned his talents to .brilliant advantage with proper opportunity. She said tho women of Chicago only wanted to clean up dance halls and force a few grafters out of busi ness. "As for women putting an end to cor rupt politics," said Miss "Van Kuran, "I don't believe they will. I bellcvo they will be just as corrupt; as the men. After they get tho ballot they -will not nil, nor any large percentage ot them, vote. "They will not become politicians. They will havo very littlo to do with politics," Miss Van Kuran did not go Into de tailed argument, but concluded her speech after a brief description of tho Chicago election. Miss Anna I Peterson, secretary ot tho league, made a brief address.

MAN WILL OufFLY THE BIRD MUiiln Train l.rtu Luoar n I'rophecjr of What Ik fomtuK In the Ftittir" III theae vvomli rtul dnv wlitai the con quest of the air Is going on before our very oyw, when armies and navies are arming for battles In the sky, when dirig ibles are traversing continents and aero planes are braWng the width of oeeans. It Is hard to how anyone can deny that we are on tho threshold ot a great new era In human affairs. "Are wo near the end of our aerial progress?" 1 asked Nikola Tes:a, great scientist nnd orlKlnal discoverer of wtrc los, who has always lived In advance ot his time. "The end'."' he said. "We are scarcety nt the beginning. We have only see- the first glimpse of aeronautical posslll..tle. Tim real development of air flight will not come until aeroplanes ana dirigibles are driven by motprs turned by wireless energy sent front u dlstanco." "You mean that aeroplanes and dirigi ble will carry no engines?" "Exactly. They will carry no engines and no fuel Think of tho saving In weight? They will get their power through tho ether from great central power transmitting stations. Hueh a sta tion could bo built today It would take about eighteen months to build It for one fourth tlic cost ot n single battleship, say $3,000,000. "Tho cost of operating this wlroless power transmission station will be about the same per horse-power as that of an ordinary electric water power plant, where power Is transmitted over wires, as from Nlng-ara. One audi station In America will be sufficient n opernte a wholo fleet of aeroplanes over an un limited radius." "An unlimited radius? How do you mean?" "I mean that this fleet of wlrcIcBsly driven aeroplanes will be able to fly over tho earth's entlro surface. Homo can be flying In Europe, somo In Asia, some In Africa, atl driven from a single wlrclesH station in America. That homo station will provide a reservoir of, say, 30,000 horse-power, available anywhere, upon which the whole fleet or aeroplanes can Uraw according to their needs " "How lartte a flirt could be operated from one station?" "A fleet of I. WW aeroplane, ensllv . If thrv all fly at onre there will be lb rty horse-power for path aeroplane. If only half of them flj at once there will be sixty horse-power for each If none of them are flylnx there will 1 practically no expenditure of power.

"How long will these wlrelessly driven aeroplanes be able to continue their flights in the air?" "Indefinitely. They need come down only for supplies. They can stay up for days or weeks, Just as electric tamps but n Tor days or weeks. Tlio homo sta tion will send forth Its power ieae lessly." "What force will operate the" gener ators of these wlroless power stations?" 1 asked. "ICtther the power ot waterfalls or the wasted heal of Iron nnd steel furnaces and coke ovens. The amount of such nvullabln energy, now wasted, Is enor mous." "Will these power transmission stations b built with groat towers, like our pres ent wireless plants?" "No; there will be no towers. An en tirely different method of power trans mission will bo used, a method that I have worked out through years of study and experiment nnd recently perfected. Theeo power transmission stations ot the future will revolutionize human affairs, for this wireless powei will operate not only distant aeroplanes and dirigibles, but also distant trolleys, railroad trains, stoamboots and all manner of machines, for all kinds of useful work. Countries favored with power-producing facilities will e.xport power through the ether to other less favored countries. ' This will tend to bring together the wholo human rafo." McClure's Magazine.
