Naval- officials here were some

the night to Lisbon. One message
from the . Columbia at Horta said
' tie NC-4 would not attempt.to pro

'. weather was clearing, shortly' after
noon and Commander Read may
! have decided to push, on, " A delay
of five or six hours in transmission
of cable messages from the Azores
left the situation ttvere in doubt
It was believed that Commander
- Read would start for Lisbon at his
eattiest opportunity. Horta to Lis

the journey, making it possible that
the airship, would te forced to make
a landing after dark, should it at

' Averaged 90 Miles Hour.

, (By Associated Press.) The NC-4
" averaeed 90 miles ner hour to Horta
Bay, and, according to Lieutenant
' Commander Read, made the flight
, in 13 hours and 18 minutes.
', The 'three seaplanes for a consid-
. ' erable time after their start from
Tfepassey flew virtually together,
but finally the NC-4 drew ahead.
, Commander Read looked to be in
r splendid -condition on his arrival
here. When about 200 miles from
Corvo island, he said, hd met bad
weather and fog. This continued to
the end. His plane Jlew at an alti-1
jtuae ot o.iahj ieer. it was compeucu
to come down close to the water,
owing to the fog.
There was no mishap during the
passage and the NC-4 was found to
' be in perfect condition.
The members of the crew had no
. sleep, but -nourished themselves 'fair
ly well on sandwiches. The men
; were all fit and anxious to continue
to Europe.
V. Commander Read said the NC-1
f'had made a landing at sea close to
--.Horta, but the NCt3 had not been

- During the early part of the flight
the seaplanes were favored with full

to the factory of- a certain auto
mobile and received a favorable re
ply, with the proviso that he

Attorney E. G.McGilton
Say He Did Not 'Roast',
Ringer In His Address
E. G. McGilton, attorney for the
Omaha' Automobile club, asserts
that he did not state at the Hotel
Fontenelle on Thursday night that
police protection afforded Oniaha
automobile owners by the police de
partment is not proficient..
"This statement does me an injus
tice," said Mr. McGilton, "as well as
Mr. Ringer and the police force of
the city, for the reason that I did
not use the language quoted, either
in form or substance, nor did I refer
to the subject in any way in my
brief talk. I not only did not say
that the police protection afforded
automobile owners in Omaha is in
efficient, but, on the contrary, if I
had touched on the subject at all, I
would have given Mr. Ringer and
the police force credit for being ex
ceedingly efficient. -
"As attorney for the public safety
committee of the Automobile club
and allied associations of this city,
I am in close touch with the ef
ficiency of Mr. Ringer's administra
tion and with the efficiency of the
police insofar as it pertains to the
question of automobile stealing, and
I am sure that they have been doing
well.", . . - v
