Chicago, April 22. Lieut. Ormer L. Locklear, the aviator who leaps j from' one airplane to another wlflle j in full flight, arrived in Chicago to- j day in connection with the Liberty loan drive. "How do you do it?" he was asked. "Well, it is simple. When my pilot is running smoothly at not "less than 5.000 feet I climb down to the axle of the ground wheels under the lower plane and I sit there and wait for the second machine to fly under me. When it is directly under me and both machines are going virtually at the same speed, I drop, about two feet. One foot slips instantly under an iron sup port for an exhaust pipe. Then I grab it with my hands. That's all, if you do it perfectly." The daring aviator said that he would not attempt the feat here as the pilots now in Chicago are strange to him.

BELA Kl'S REI BUDAPEST PILLAGED Hungarian Soviet Overthrown and Chaos Prevails in Capital as Roumanian Troops Approach. Paris April 22. (By The Asso ciated Press.) Be!a Kun's soviet government has been overthrown at Budapest, according to an official wireless message received here to day. Rioting and pillaging is going on in the city. Resigns Under Pressure. Amsterdam, April 22. The Hun garian government, headed by Bela Kun, has resigned under pressure of Roumanian troops, according to a dispatch to th Central News from Vienna quoting reports re ceived in that city by aerial mail from Budapest. Wild chaos is said to prevail at the Hungarian capital. It is reported tha Czecho forces have joined the Roumanians and have defeated the Hungarian soviet troops. Roumanian Triumphant. Budapest, April 22. (By The As sociated Press.) The Hungarian foreign nlinister, Bela Kun, in his speech before the soldiers' and workmen's council Saturday, ad mitted that the Roumanian offensive was temporarily successful. The Roumanian troops had captured Szatinar-Nometi and were close to the Rates o." Grosswardein (Nagv varad), only a small portion of the Hungarian troops having stood their ground, while the others abandoned their positions and dis persed. The situation, said Bela . Kun, was also bad towards Bekesosaba, where the Hungarian troops also were demoralized and the Roumanians everywhere were attacking with superior forces. Garami Recalled. A change in the makeup of the Hungarian government which will give it a more conservative ten dency is expected. The name of Count Michael Karolyi, former president, is .not mentioned, but M. Garami, a moderate socialist who served in Karolyi's administra tion, has been requested to return from Switzerland. The government has decided to attempt to discipline the population. One of the first steps was to order the coffee houses closed. The local telephone 'service has been sus pended on the ground that it is a bourgeoise institution. A large amount of bad money is in circu lation and is selling for 40 per cent of its face value. Its origin is not known. Railway trains have stopped com ing into Budapest. Had Spectacular Career. Bela Kun, the Hungarian com munist leader, whose downfall is re ported, first attracted public notice in Vienna in the days of the declara tion of the German-Austrian re public here. Kun, who appears not older than 25 years and is a devoted admirer of Lenine and bolshevism, made a spectacular appearance in this capital. Dressed in a uniform with stripes on his sleeves, indicating that he was a college student, he drove daily (Continued on Pago Two, 'Column Fire.) Students Walk Out WhenWar"Vets"Are Required to Drill Fort Colins, Colo., April 22. A 24-hour strike of the entire student body of the Colorado Agriculture college here ended tonight when the faculty asked the student council to present their grievances at chapel tomorrow and gav' assurances .that none of the students would be disci plined for participating in today's walkout. The strike resulted from dissatis faction over drill regulations under which 30 returned soldiers were cpmpelled to attend regular drill provided in the school curriculum. The returned . soldiers complained that after having engaged in a real war they found college drill forma tions tedious r.nd uninteresting. Under an unwritten college law, students are not compelled to re main in class if v instructor is more than five minutes late. The drill instructor was late two days ago and taking advantage of the students' rule, the 30 returned sol diers left the drill ground and as a penalty were suspended for one day. The students' strike was called today in sympathy with the re turned soldiers. WtM To Avert Future War, Buy Culartd M weaad-eliu Mattel Mi 2. 1906 at Oman' P- 0. aaaar act at Mirth S. 1879. Man of Thirty For Beating Aged Mother; Dragged Off by Passerby Hubert Wemple, Barber, Found on Street Striking Par ent and Given Sound Drubbing, Then Brought to Station, Where He Cowers as Officers Place Charge Against Him. "Abusing his mother." "This is the charge placed last night on the police blot ter at central station against Hubert Wemple, 35, a barber of 3010 North Twenty-fourth street. He was dragged off as he was striking the aged woman near Seventeenth and Webster streets by a man who hap pened to pass in his car. The stranger gave " Wemple a sound beating, and brought him to the station, where he cowered before the gaze of officers and newspaper men and hid his face in his hands, feigning drunkenness in an effort to palliate his offense A little ilater, the mother, who is 67 years old, was found wandering, bruised and dazed, and brought to the station. With her face"niarked black and blue where her grown son had struck her, scarcely able to stand, Mrs. Wemple, a widow of two months, pleaded with the officers to release her son. Mother Tells Story. "MyMeet were so z re, I thought I couldn't walk any farther," Mrs. Wemple said trying to explain her son's treatment of her, "I asked him to put me on the street car and take me home I felt awfully weak, In stead he struck me with--his fist and knocked me down. Then he struck me again and again until some man pUilcd him away. "1 didn't do anything to make him mad. I can't understand why he did it. But I want you to let i K home '.th mc and take care f me. He has been a cood son and I just can't stay alone at night." Mrs. Wemple s plea moved men in the police station to tears. The aged woman explained that she and her son had been visiting friends, and that when they started home her feet wer- so sore she had difficulty walking. They allowed several cars to pass, she said, before she asked him to put her on a car and send her home, as she felt she could -walk no further. That re quest caused the-beating, she said. SELLERS CASE IS SET FOR HEARING IN COURT TODAY Spicy Testimony Anticipated When Elderly Man's Suit Against Young Bride Is Called. The case of George C. Chrisman against Mrs. Marguerite Gilchrist Sellers will. be called for hearing this morning in Judge Holmes' division of municipal court. Chrisman obtained service of a writ of attachment upon personal ef fects and jewels of Mrs. Sellers ill an effort to satisfy an alleged claim of $816.44 which the plaintiff alleges is due 'to him. Mrs. Sellers is resisting this case and it is anticipated, that some spicy testimony will be introduced at the hearing. The young woman claims that she was associated with Chris man in a business way and that all went well while he was as a "father" to her, but when he tried to make love, then she avers that her atti tude toward him was changed. "Peggy," as Mrs. Sellers is known, admits that Chrisman spent much money on her, but not in a way that would make her legally liable for re payment. Chrisman insists that he has a just claim and that "Peggy" knows not whereof she speaks when she refers to his attacks upon her heart and hand.' Peggy is 19 years old and Chris man is 65. "Jimmy" Sellers, Peg gy's young husband, declares he will stick by his wife "until the sands of the desert grow cold." A divorce petition filed in district court here by Peggy against Jimmy March 28 will never be called for hearing, according to the young wife, who explains that she and Jimmy have decided that they will live henceforth for each other. If Judge Holmes' small courtroom will not hold the crowd this morn ing, the city council chamber will be used. Peterson Heads Group of North Nebraska Bankers Norfolk, Neb., April 22.

"If you send him to jail all our ef forts are lost. Please let him go nome with me. I was never alone at night before.- I'm afraid to stay rlone. He's a good boy." George Wemple, another son, works at night in the mail terminal at Council Bluffs. He was at work when the attack on his mother was made. He came to Central station about midnight and "took his mother home. - - MAYER DETECTS NEW LOOPHOLE IN DRY AMENDMENT Holds it Impracticable to En force Prohibition by "Con current Power" of Con gress and States. Chicago, April 22. Practicability of enforcing the national prohibition amendment by "concurrent power" of congress and the state was ques tioned today at a meeting of the distillers' committee, in charge of the distilling industry's fight against prohibition. The point was raised in an opin ion submitted by Levy Mayer, coun sel for the committee, following re ports that referendum petitions had been filed, were in process of filing or were in circulation in Ohio,' Mis souri, California, Washington, Ore gon, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebras ka, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan and Maine. "In my opinion section one of the amendment is not self-executing and until legislation has been enacted to enforce the amendment, the latter will have no effect and will be prac tically a dead letter," said the opin ion, which added that this was con firmed by the next section, which expressly provided for enforcement by stating that "congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by ap propriate legislation." "It is of course impossible for congress and the legislatures of 48 states to act jointly that is, con currently. The congressional and legislative wills of congress and the 48 different legislatures, if not ex ercised in the same identical way, will lead to confusion that is almost incomprehensible. "Furthermore, if any of the 48 states acts in a way different from that in which congress may legis late, or if congress legislates first and the states subsequently, or if any states legislate first and con gress thereafter, and the provisions of such legislation are not identical, the conflict to which I have referred will instantly arise." Find Concealed Ring. A large emerald ring was fqund last night tucked away in the ton neu of the police emergency car. Pol'ce believe it is one of the rings stolen from the T. F. Stroud home during the daring daylight robbery, Sund-jy afternoon but Mr. Stroud .could not be found last night to identify the ring. VILNA AND RAILWAY CAPTURED BY POLES Bolshevik Defeat Admitted in Russian Wireless Message; Ukrainian Front Also Broken. London, April 22. The important city of Vilna has been recaptured from the bolsheviki, according to official admission in a Russian wire less dispatch. The Russian message reads: "The enemy attacked with con siderable forces in the Vilna region, pierced our lines and occupied the town." Railway Centers Captured. Paris, April 22. (Havas) Polish troops have captured the important railway centers of Baranovichi and Novogorodek, south of Vilna, as well as Vilna itself, advices from Warsaw say. All the railway line from Vilna south to Lida is in the hands of the Poles. On the Lemberg sector the Poles are reported to have broken through the Ukrainian front. Bolsheviki Beaten in North. London, April 22. A war office statement on the operations in north Russia says: "General Maynard (commanding the Mutmansk forces) reports that in a recent offensive on Lake Vig ozero the enemy lost 98 killed and 82 taken prisoner. A train with re treating bolsheviki was badly dam aged by shell fire. The capture in cluded two field guns, five machine guns and 7,000 shells." Bolshevik Position Endangered. London, April 22. (British Wire less Service.) The Siberian army of Admiral Kolchak's government, in making an advance of 190 miles in five weeks on the Ural front, has achieved a success which en dangers the entire bolshevik posi tion in eastern Russia. According to advices from Omsk, the Siber ians are now within 100 miles of the Volga, the most important river of Russia, and the new successes on the River Kama, in the center of the 400-mile front, make untenable tfie bolshevik position east of the Volga. The bolshevik troops opposed to the allies in north Russia and those fac ing General Denekin in south Russia are affected seriously by the ad vance. v The bolsheviki had hung obstin ately to Sarapul, southwest of Perm, and its capture, together with much war material and a number of bol shevik leaders is looked upon at Omsk as an important success. Both bank of the Kama river, which joins the Volga near Kazan, have been cleared of the bolsheviki for a dis tance of more than 200 miles. Moving Toward Petrograd. Archangel, April 22. (By the As sociated Tress.) By an advance of approximately 20 miles' southward over a road paralleling the Mur mansk railroad line, about 30 miles to the east, Russian troops operating with the allied force, have reached a point wTthin easy striking distance of Lake Onega, which is connected by a chain of lakes and canals with Petrograd. The advancing troops attacked Vojmosalma, 30 miles east of Uroso dero, April 17, and took the village. They then pursued the bolsheviki down the main road toward Povienets. The enemy made a stand at Petrovinki and Yam, but were attacked, 28 of the bolsheviki being captured and the enemy suffering a large number of casualties in killed and wounded. The allied casualties were light. Continuing their slow advance down the Murmansk railroad, the forces of the allies now are approx imately ten miles south of tjroso dero. The Archangel front is quiet at present. Archangel Officials Oppose Nansen's Plan for Feeding Russia Archangel, April 22. (By the As sociated Press.) Lt. Gen. Eugene Karlovitch Miller, head of the Arch sngel government, told the Asso ciated .Press today that he was ab solutely eppased to the plan of Dr Fridtjof Nansen for feeding Russia. Other officials on all hands express sinvlar views.. General Miller said.

The Victory Liberty Loan drive in Omaha forged ahead yesterday without a let-up, although it was a holiday. The official figure given out was $1,600,000 subscriptions al ready received with at least 10 per cent paid. The fact that the banks were closed yesterday held back tabulat ing "of the subscriptions and a big jump ahead toward the goal is ex pected tomorrow.' Tanks Stage Race. The feature of yesterday's drive was the race of two phippet tanks up Farnam street from Tenth to Seven teenth streets at noon before a great crowd of people. The tanks were camouflaged and in just the condition they were when they rushed into battle in France. The first was manned by Corp. L. W. Green and Pvt. C. H. Blase. The second was in charge of Pvt. S. D. Kennedy assisted by Privates H. L. Bratton and Carl Smith. They thundered over the paving at about 12 miles an hour. Arriving at the court house they crawled right up over the curb stone and ran up the grand stand where they went through all sorts of contor tions preceding the speaking. Mayor Makes Address. Mayor Smith made the principal address after an invocation had been offered by Rabbi Frederick Cohn and music by the Italian band. The mayor urged everybody to buy these bonds not pny as a patriotic duty "to finish the job" but because they are a first-class investment, pay a good rate of interest, are non-taxable and have the backing of the United States government. There was a program of enter tainment given by the artists on this weeks bill at the Empress theater, including Reiss Brothers and Mur ray, Miss Pauline Haggard and two principals in "Follies of the Night." Sjam Burns, head of the 500 men whoare scouring the city is highly enthusiastic over the response of the people so far. His men are getting fine restults. The women who are combing the residence section of the city also report fine results. Reports Are Slow. The majority of these have made no reports yet and when they do the results will bring the goal near to realization it is believed. The following firms yesterday re ported "100 per cent subscribed;" United States Trust company, Com monwealth Life Insurance company, A.

ACTION BEGUN TO OUST MAYOR OF SIOUX CITY Citizens' Meeting Appoints Committee to Demand Resignation; Recall Is Alternative. . Sioux City, la., April 22. Action demanding the immediate recall of Mayor Wallace M. Short, because of his alleged friendly attitude to ward the I. W. W. was taken and the necessary machinery to accomplish that purpose was set in motion at a meeting of 100 Sioux City residents at a hotel here tonight. Appointment of a committee by the chair to visit Mayor Short and demand his resignation immediately was authorized. . A committee of 10 will be named to recommend a candidate for mayor to oppose Short. Five of this committee will be appointed by A J. Mason, an j.ttorney, who was chairman of the meeting, and five by the trades and labor assembly of Sioux City. Petitions for signatures to invoke the recall will be put in circulation tomorrow. The present action follows the mavor's appearance last Monday be fore the national convention of the I. W. W., which has been tn session for the past two days. if It is said pressure was brought to bear on the mavor to prevent the assembly of the" "Wobblies". This the mayor refused to do. He went before the convention and extended a welcome to the delegates, but cau tioned them that any red flag dis plays or revolutionary methods would be quickly checked by the city authorities. Mayor Short tonight refused to comment on the action taken at the public meeting. Excitement Caused by Wind and Rain in Middle of Night The high wind and driving rain that swept down on Omaha at mid night last night caused excitement, especially in the north and west parts of the city. Calls to the police station and The Bee were frequent, asking if any damage had been done. The wire chief of the telephone company said that no reports of damage had been received' at' 1 o'clock from outlying towns. Residents in the north part of the city insisted that the siren whistle was blowing down town, and that the wind roared exactly as it did dur ing the Easter tornado of 1913. Two large windows in the Victory loan headquarters, Woodmen oi the World building, were blown out about midnight by the wind. A large plate glass Nvindow in the Abraham grocery store. Twenty fourth and Charles streets was also blown out. Notes 6 p mtlMViHl2? S pa IB a 1& 10 a m......tt.,..os 11 a. in....'. Ail It m Ml S nn JUGOSLAV POSITION UPHELD BY PRESIDENT Italian Delegates Bitter Ovefl Rejection of Their Claims But Seek Basis of Adjustment. :- Paris, April 22. (By the AMfrV dated Press) The Julian situ tion remains unchanged, accord ing to the authoritative announce ment after the meeting of the council of four today. The Italian premier, VittorM Orlando, while not attending th aession of the council, had a tenet of private conferencei and ar ranged a meeting with Premier Lloyd George, with a view to seeking a plan of adjustment. One compromise proposed ' to the Italians, making provision for the recognition of their claim to : Fiume in exchange for the aban donment of their claim to the Dalmatian coast, was rejected. ' There are indications of weaken ' ing on the part of the Italian dele gation and a disposition to withdraw f" their demands for the Dalmatian hinterland if permitted to have the coast, the coastal watershed and Fiume. President Wilson is inflexible in his position that Fiume shall not be annexed,, to Italy, thus bottling up Jugo-Slavia. Hopeful of Agreement Although Premier Orlando prob ably will not attend the meetings of the council of four, the inclination of the Italians to compromise is looked upon as encouraging the allies, who apparently are hopeful that an agreement may' be reached by mutual concessions. - The suggestion is widely circulat ed tonight in Paris that Great Brit ain and France cannot sign a peace treaty with Germany if Italy refuses, because under the London agree ment no member of the entente is to sign a separate peace. The sug gestion, however, apparently has not had any great effect on the ne gotiations as the delegates expressed the opinion that no single nation can afford to hinder a treaty con forming to the provision of the armistice broadly and that rights tin der secret treaties will be lightly re garded by the peoples who are clam oring for a settlement of the wor''' war. U. S. Not Involved. As the United States is not a sig natory of. the London agreement not to make a separate peace, even the most serious break in the con ference would not prevent her from making a peace with Germany, but the American delegates refuse serw ously to co sider such an eventual ity. , The ambitions and rivalry of vari ous leaders are figuring largely' in the present deadlock. Economic, conditions, are so bad and food and coal are so scarce in the European countries today that a majority of the peace delegates feel that no important country will 1 attempt to continue fighting under conditions of virtual isolation from the supply centers. Italians Indignant. A member of the Italian delega tion told The Associated Press to day that it considered it useless for t the Italian delegates to take part in further conferences unless the allies were willing to grant their requests. The indignation of the Italian del. ! egation is as strong against the Brit ish and the French as against the Americans, and after the failure of : Premier Orlando again today to ap- i pear at the meeting of the council of four the break between the Ital-. ians and the allies became well de- . fined.. ' Advised Wilson to Stay Away, It was learned today that it was at the suggestion of the Italian dele- " gation that President Wilson re mained away from the meeting Mon- ' day morning when Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando ' and Foreign Minister Sonnino dis cifssed the London pact. The meeting between the repre- ; sentatives of the three powers, it is ' understood, was extremely unsatis- -factory, as Italy insisted that the London treaty should not be . af fected by its subsequent agreement , to Prisident Wilson's 14 points and demanded the literal . fulfillment of the promises made her previously. The Italian delegates are not pre- ' paring to leave Paris, apparently be lieving that the allies will ap proach them with a compromise be fore peace is signed with Germany. ; However, the French, British and American delegates show no signs of weakening and continue to ad vise the Italians of the meetings as " if the Italian delegates had not
