I LIEUTENANT NIELSEN TRIMTO FLY Recovers From Injuries Sus tained When Plane Went Down in Nose Spin on Ak-Sar-Ben Field. With his face somewhat marred, but his eye undimmed and his smile unextinguished, Lt. A. J. Nielsen was in Council 'Bluffs yesterday re ceiving congratulations of his friends upon the airplane flight from Waterloo and his escape from more serious injury at the unfor tunate landing on Ak-Sar-Ben field in Omaha. Little more than the marks of his injuries remain dis cernible. He asserted that he was just as fit to do any kind of an air plane stunt as ever. Lieutenant Nielsen said that the accident was not due to any fault of the machine or defect in the ma chinery. Cows on the landing field were the chief contributing causes, but the real cause was that he had reached the point of complete phys ical exhaustion and became uncon scious at the moment of landing. "I knew I was all in, and I felt myself going when I reached the landing field," said the lieutenant. "If the ground had been clear, I could have made a safe landing, but I had to continue circling to find a spot where I could land without hit ting a cow, and I lapsed into un consciousness. I have no recollec tion of the last few hundred feet or of striking the ground. It was a hard drive from Waterloo and na ture simply gave way under the strain. I am confident Mr. Print would not have been hurt if he had. not unbuckled his belt, evidently for the purpose of trying to come to my assistance when he saw I had fainted." Lieutenant Nielsen says the plane will be repaired and the accident win not in any degree interfere with the chautauqua program, beginning June 10 and lasting until September, call ing for more than 70 flights from one chautauqua assembly to another and an hour s lecture at each.

ATTACKED BY MRS. 6L00R Political Prisoners Treated Worse Here Than in Russia, New York Socialist Leader Charges. The American government, as a democratic institution, was bitterly denounced last night before social ists and socialist sympathizers at the Metropolitan hall, by Mss. Ella Reeve Bloor, international organizer for the socialist party and once a candidate for lieutenant governor of New York. Treatment of political prisoners in this country was denounced as "far more brutal than under the Czar's regime in Russia. President Wilson's act in sending American troops to aid the anti bolshevik forces in Russia was char acterized as "nothing more than de liberate and illegal murder of Amer ican boys in the wilds of Siberia." "This war was made by profiteers for profits," said Mrs. Bloor, adding "when thieves fall out we always learn the truth and we are learning it now. The con gressional squabbles over the con duct of the war show just why it was fought" s Protests Political Sentences. In speaking of sentences imposed upon political prisoners by the au thority granted the government under the espionage law, Mrs. Bloor said: "I protest as an American against act's as bad as those com mitted under any Prussian system in any country in the world. "If we get together in one great union, both political and industrial, we will soon make the capitalists come out to the international tune, ' the speaker svd when talking of jail sentences "imposed by the gov ernment upon m'en whose only o: fense was to proitss belief in inter national ideals." As the woman continued speak ing, growing more vehement with each recital of what she called wrongs committed against her "brothers," as she characterized im prisoned radicals, she stamped her foot and at the sight of two men attempting" to leave the room, cried: "Stay. If you are secret service men, stay and listen to' the wrongs perpetrated against your class. We must stand snouiaer to snouiaer to fight the master class." She branded the report of the na tionalization of women in Russia by the Soviets as a "dastardly lie." Mrs. Bloor promised to come again to this city in the near future if members of the local party would arrangs for an outdoor mass meet ing. "Then," she said, "we will see whether or not the right of free speech and peaceable assembly is a reality in the city." The speaker told of the forma tion of the International Garment Workers' union, in which she took a prominent part. Negro Pleads Guilty Henry Dennis, negro, pleaded guilty to attempted criminal assault in police court yesterday morning and was bound over to district court on $2,000 bonds.
