MEETING
Returned Soldiers and Union
Men Demand Action at Win

Call Out Troops.
Winnipeg, May 31. A parading
crowd of 2,000 or more returned sol
diers and union men today swept
through the provincial house of par
liament and then marched to the
city hall, "here they broke up a
council meeting.
In both buildings speakers, using
violent language, charged that Pre
mier T. C. Norris and Mayor Charles
F. Gray were not dealing properly
with the strike situation, and
shouted that "something had better
be done soon."
This was the second parade to
parliament in two days. The march
ers notified Premier Norris they
would pay him a third call Monday.
Tonight city and federal officials
were considering the advisability of
asking for military forces to guard
public property in the face of a sit
uation more serious than it has been
since the general strike began
May is.
Many of the remarks from the
crowd at parliament and the city hall
indicated that their leading griev
ances were the determination of Pre
mier Norris not to take an active
part in settlement of the strike until
the sympathetic walk-Out is called
off, and the action of the city in de
manding that its union policemen
sign new pledges in which they
agree not to participate in general
strikes. ' --
" The premier was asked by a half
dozen men whether "this thing, was
going to be settled." Norris replied
that the sympathetic strike must be
called off before he would act. Hiss
es, cat calls and profane comments
resulted. The marchers declared
they were not satisfied, that tliey
would return to parliament Monday
and that they wanted action."
Mayor Hissed.
The city council was in session
considering the street car situation
and had decided to "request" the
street railway company to resume its
service. "What are you going to do
with the cops?" was one of the first
cries.
Mayor Gray finally was success
ful in urging the visitors to listen
to him outside. He declared that he
was a friend of honest labor and
pointed out that every government
agency had repudiated the sympa
thetic strike which, on May IS, fol
lowed the strike of the metal work
ers' council for higher wages and a
collective bargaining agreement. The
mayor was hissed and jeered and
cheered- His declaration that the
city would maintain laws and order
and must meet the issues developed
by the walkout of municipal em
ployes was followed by various com
ments. Elsie Janis Returns;

duly answered by the allies. Con

EPOCH MAKING

Plymouth, May 31. (By the As

Plymouth Sound this afternoon, cir
cled the place whence the Filgrim
fathers sailed in their cockle-shell
ship for the new world in 1620, and
alighted in the Cattewater, its epoch
making flight ended.
As it came into view through the
western,' haze, England gave it the
splendid welcome it deserved.
Leaving Ferrol, Spain at 6:27 this
morning, the NC-4 covered the dis

Despite adverse wind and weather
conditions, the NC-4 covered the
last leg without a hitch to mar the
exploit. Safe and sound, but thor
oughly fatigued by the physical or
deal of the trip, as well as the men
tal strain, Commander Albert C.
Read and his crew are sleeping
peacefully tonight.
Welcomed at Plymouth.
The rousing welcome of Plymouth
residents to the American airmen
and the cordial reception given to
them aboard the Rochester by Rear
Admiral Plunkett, the mayor of
Plymouth, British and American of
ficials and the crews of the other
NC planes, reached a climax with
the first actual landing of the vic
torious crew at the spot from which
the Pilgrim fathers set forth for
America.
There was wonderful interest in
today's flight, although it was
(dipsed by the previous flights of
this seaplane, for, in the opinion of
American naval officers and the
British public generally, the NC-4
reached the peak of her great adven
ture when she spanned the Atlantic
at Lisbon.
The NC-4 flew in rain and fog
through the Bay of Biscay, and
fog also was encountered off Brest,
compelling the plane to keep at a
low altitude.
Word Received At Noon.
Although news of the progress of
the craft was passed along by war
ships stationed on the waq, it was
not until noon that word was re
ceived from Commander Read him
self. His message merely reported
his position.
The NC-4 appeared suddenly out
of the. haze at 2:19 summer timj.
After circling over the harbor, the
seaplane dropped gracefully toward
the Cattewater, alighting near the
buoy prepared for it at 2:22. The
great crowd on the harbor front
cheered heartily, and craft tied
down their whistles in noisy wel
come. The seaplane when sighted was
flying high and leading an escort of
three flying boats. Its enormous
size left no doubt of its identity.
While the thousands of spectators
yelled themselves hoarse, the flying
boats dropped Very lights, and a
fleet of small boats rushed out to
greet the Americans.
Flys at Low Altitude.
Commander Read said that short
ly before reaching Brest his sea
plane ran into a thick fog. The
NC-4 circled over the shipping in
Breast harbor and then passed
directly over the lightship. The
journey across the channel was
made at a very low altitude. The
seaplane never flew at a greater
height than 200 feet, and only at 50
to 100 feet most of the way, because
of the fog.
Bad weather conditions prevailed
during the flight across the Bay of
Biscay. Never-the-less the NC-4 ke
its course perfectly and the trip
from Ferrol was made at an average
speed of about 76. miles an hour.
Before alighting in the sound,' the
NC-4 sicrled the Hoe' and passed
over' the spot from which the May
flower sailed. '
After a brief reception aboard the
Rochester, commander Read and
his crew were taken to the Aroos-

CITY OF THE WEST,
OMAHA, SUNDAY,
PROCLAIM
PEACE AT
MEETING
G. W. Wattles Elected Presi
dent of Nebraska Branch of
League; Former President
Taft Principal Speaker.
The Nebraska convention of the
League to Enforce Peace was
brought to a close last night, with
G. W. Wattles presiding and a fair
attendance present to hear William
Howard Taft, ex-president of the
United States; John H. Walker, re
tiring president of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor," and United
States Senator G. M. Hitchcock.
Mr. Wattles was elected president
of the Nebraska branch of the
league. The convention adopted
resolutions which contained an ex
pression that the senate should rati
fy the covenant of the League of
Nations.
Bishop Homer C Stuntz opened
the evening's program with prayer.
Notwithstanding that the former
president of the United States .id a
"frog in his throat," as he exp..ssed
it, he was in a happy vein and
aroused laughter frequently by his
witty punctuations. His address fol
lowed a vivo voca vote on the adop
tion of the resolutions and when he
heard some negative votes, he re
marked that he did not criticize in
dependent judgment on this ques
tion. Facing An Issue.
"One of . the charges against the
covenant," said Mr. Taft, "is that it
is a tad, a crankism. Some of the
abolitionists of the Civil war time
as ; bwfcg -cranks,
necessary 10 mane mis a reany tree
nation. We face today an issue
which in many respects is fai wider
than slavery in one country. We
face an issue wherein the people of
many nations are made slaves to
force. The question is, whether we
can lift that burden by means other
than the arbitrament of the sword.
Men have dreamed of this for many
years and they have been referred
to as cranks.
"During an administration that
has long since been forgotten, we
had two treaties prepared for pre
sentation to France and England. I
sent those treaties to that sacred
board, the United States senate, but
when they came back they were so
disfigured that even their own father
could not recognize them. I put
them on the shelf and I hoped that
either the senators would" change
their minds, or that the people
would change the senate, but in
stead, they changed me. That was
a complete defeat, but a man in
political life learns that there are
worse things than defeat.
Advantages of Defeat.
"Continual successes are likely to
be intoxicating. The advantages of
defeat are that you know exactly
where you are."
Mr. Taft related the history of the
organization of the. League to En
force Peace, at Philadelphia, stating
that the originators were classed as
cranks, as propagandists.
"It is impossible to get up a
league of nations out of a clear
sky in normal times of peace," he
continued.- "It would not be effec
tive under such circumstances. Cir
cumstances have arisen which now
make it possible to apply thoughts
long before expressed. This war
has made a league of nations 'posi
ble, it has given us the great oppor
tunity which we should not ignore
lest we have another horrible lesson
in another horrible war.
"I agree that if the president had
sought to fo'ree down the throats of
the senate and the people two things
not normally to be united, then I
would welcome this criticism. But
I stated that it was not possible for
the peace conference at Paris to
have prepared a treaty that could be
enforced, without the league of
nations covenant as an intergral
part.
. "The covenant provides for the
settlement of questions authorita
tively with force behind to enforce
the decisions. What means would
there be to enforce the peace terms
with Germany unless there be a
league of nations?
"How will you stabilize the new
map of Europe as I have outlined
it to you, without a league of the
14 nations that have prepared and
signed them.
"By force of circumstances.
worked out providentially, I believe,
we can not have peace unless we
have the force behind it to maintain
it, and you can not get that force
unless you have a league of the na
tions that have won this war. The
only way to get a league that will
work, is to start with the charter
members, adopt a constitution, and
then invite the outsiders in. The
possibilities .of a league of nations
were not revealed to us until the
events of the war brought to us this
gre'at opportunity.
Mr. Taft explained that a referen

TO STORY TOLD
TO OMAHA BEE
In Prison Confessed Auto
Thief Reiterates Statement,
Accusing Detective of Ac
cepting Bribe.
When Police Captain Andrew Pa
tulle arrived in . Lincoln yesterday to
question William McKenna and Lov
ell C. Jones, confessed automobile
thieves in the penitentiary, in re
gard to their statement published in
The Bee, accusing Detective Jim
Murphy of accepting a bribe, he
found Francis Morgan, McKenna's
attorney at the prison.
McKenna weeks ago told Attor
ney Morgan the same story The Bee
published. He also told it to his
mother, who talked of the incident
with Chief of Police Eberstein. The
police chief prevailed on the woman
to report the matter to Judge Red
ick, she asserted.
Police Commissioner Ringer still
maintains his silence. "I have noth
ing to say for the present," is the
only comment he has made on the
accusations brought against Detec
tive Murphy.
No Police Statement.
Chief Eberstein is out of the city,
and no one connected with the po
ilce department would make a state
ment as to the purpose of Captain
Patulle's visit to the penitentiary.
The fact that McKenna and his
mother both have discussed the al
leged bribery of Detective Mutphy
with Chief Eberstein is taken to in
dicate that Captain Patule's visit to
Lincoln is not for the purpose of
verifying McKenna's charges.
McKenna told Attorney Morgan
everything connected with the brib
ery . charge, Mr. Morgan asserted
before he left for Lincoln. He has
also told me a great deal more," the
attorney added. "I am not readv
to make a statement at this time."
Are Not Talking.
Whether or no Commissioner
Ringer has discussed the matter
with Chief Eberstein, neither Mr.
Ringer nor Mr. Eberstein would
say. Nor has Chief Eberstein at
tempted to make an explanation of
the McKenna charges against De

was said to have been present when
Frank Kennedy handed Murphy the

commissioner's order was that any

The older men are not inclined to
