Aviator, Who Fell Prey to

73 German Planes to
His Credit.
London, July 5. The late Maj.
K. W. Mannock was the leading
"ace" of the British aviation corps,
but it was not until months after
the armistice tiiat the fact was
known and h never will be officially
ci edited by the air ministry with
being England's premier flyer. It
was the 'policy of the ministry dur
ing the war not to proclaim individ
ual exploits and it has not been
changed since the fighting ceased.
The record of Mannock's 18
ninths' service is most unusual- He
started out by outwitting examin
ing physicirns in concealing the fact
that he was blind in one eye. At 29
years of age he was older than most
of the pilots in training, but he
tcetned to lack nothing required of
a successful air fighter and soon
qualified and went to France.
Immediately he adopted tactics
pccular to himself and it finally was
a deviation from those tactics that
brought him down. He always flew
very high and enticed his adversary
into a high fipht but, in bringing
down his 73 German, he chased
his falling foe too near ground and
a bullet from an anti-aircraft gun
ended his career.
Officers of the royal air force
have acclaimed him the greatest air
tactician in the service. He has had
rone of the eccentricities prevalent
among successful French aviators
bnt, he was scientific, persistent 'ind
dogged. One of the brother offi
cers recently said that he had seen
Mannock stalk a Hun for an hour
or more, attempting to gradually
draw him higher and then, when the
sl'ghtest opportunity for advantage
j resented itself, he was on the foe
like a cat.
., Although Mannock was presented
with the Distinguished Service
Order and the Military Cross it was
not until the tlioufands of records
of pilots were checked in the Air
Ministry here that it was known
that he had more Germans to his
credit than any other British avia
tor. This fact was allowed to
become known at the minstry but
not officially.
Hero Falls Victim of
1 v Confederate Bill Swindle
Boston, Mass. The famous after-the-Civil-War
swindle of passing
worthless Confederate . notes has
just been worked iif this city on a
hero returning from the world war.
Two $100 Confederate notes were
pasted together, making a very impressive-looking
bill. The bill was
tendered to the soldier to be
change'd. He accommodatingly gave
$100 in United States notes in ex
cha nge. Upon finding that he had
been swindled the nian went to
army headquarters, and plain
clothes detectives were put on the
trail of the swindlers.
Sells Farm, Repents, So
Buys It Back; Out $2,500
New Cambria, Kan. Hal Don
meyer, owner of one of the best
farms in this section of Kansas, de
cided the other day he would sell
his farm. Many people had asked
him to set a pice, but as he had
received it from his father, who
settled here in the early days, he
always declined. However, he .sold
the farm to Cleveland Miller. An
hour after the deed had been re
corded Hal repented of his act and
sought out Cleveland to buy back
the farm.
He did, but it cost him just $2,500
-more than he sold it for.
Emancipation
Bill for Women
Before Commons
London, July 5. The woman's
emancipation bill is still before the
House of Commons, notwithstand
ing an effort by the government to
day to have it set aside to make way
for a new measure on the subject.
Major Waldorf Astor's motion to
reject it was defeated by a vote of
100 to 85. The bill, backed by the
labor party, has been before the
Commons for several months.
The emancipation bill now before
the House of Commons was de
signed to give women. political and
legal equality with men. It includ
ed a provision permitting women to
sit in the House of Lords.
A London dispatch received Fri
day was so garbled in transmission
as to make it appear that the bill
itself had been defeated.
Chicago Planning Largest
Railway Depot in World
Chicago, July 5. Chicago will

City Commissioners to Take
Up Question of Awarding

Injunctions Against 15.
(Continued From race One.)
of fifteen places, which include:
Calumet restaurant, Conant, Paxton,
Blackstone, Rome, Henshaw and
Loyal hotels, and the Courtney res
taurant. The legislative act in question pro
vides that individuals or corpora
tions engaged in a business of which
garbage is a by-product, shall not
be prohibited from disposing of
their garbage as they wish.
Mayor Smith and City Commis
sioners Ure, Ringer, Zimman and
Falconer Saturday agreed infor
mally to award a five-year contract
to Henry Pollack, -who already has
a Rarbage contract with the city on
a different basis. Mr. Pollack toldH
the city official that he will agree
in writing to establish a sanitary
hog-feeding yard in a location to be
approved, and he will cook all gar
bage before feeding It tp hogs, and
also will provide a chimney for car
rying away any odor there may be.
He proposes to build concrete feed
ing floors and to keep them flushed
by the use of a water and sewer
system. His, proposed location is
north o"f Florence lake, near the
river. Mr. Pollack is to present his
details to the city council Monday
morning'. If he obtains the contract,
the city is to pay him $45,000 a year
for the collection of all garbage,
which he is to dipose Of in a sani
tary manner.
Residents Complain.
The garbage question was brought
to the front again recently when
complaints were received from resi
dents of Kountze park district, who
objected to the stench which was
carried on the breezes from hog
feeding yards on the east bottom
lands, north of Winspear triangle.
These hog-yard men were strewing
garbage on the ground and in one
instance it was observed that con
siderable garbage was allowed to
rot on moist ground.
The city paid $35,000 during 1918
for hauling garbage, and for the
first six months of this year the cost
was nearly $20,000.
Many complaints have been made
by householders this summer
against irregular collections of gar
bage. Inthis connection the Pol
lack contract, if it is executed by the
city, will contain a provision that
the contractor shall maintain two
extra collection wagons for use in
responding to complaints of resi
dents whose garbage has been neg
lected. The city is to maintain an
inspector, to exercise supervision
over the enforcement of the pro
visions of the contract.
The only other bidder for the city
garbage business was J. W. Welch,
who asked $62,000 per year on a
five-year contract.
