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.

GOVERNMENT OF
U. S. 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
