Lfeutentnt Maynard's machine, and the engine was ready to be trans- ferred to the "canon's" olane when authorization for the change was received by Lieutenant Wels, from Washington. In the meantime, the mechanics had loosened the motor in Maynard's machine and the trans fer was made during the night Mechanics: Wort Fast The work of the mechanics, sent from Ak-sar-Ben field to Wahoo to make the change, is said to be the fastest that has been accomplished at any of the flying fields of the country for similar repairs. Although it became evident dur iny the early part of Thursday night that the transfer of motors could be accomplished by early morning, . mechanic would retire for the night preparatory to resuming the flight. They remained at the side of the plane until the last bolt had been craft for the trial flight Less than 10 minutes time was consumed in this flight and the plane returned to the ground. It was filled with gasoline and oil and the flight for Omaha started. ' The exact time of leaving the cornfield at Wahoo, for the trip to umaha was not secured, but it is believed that it was not earlier than m .1 . a a. m., tnus malting the time from that place to Omaha, a dis tance of 40 miles, but 25 minutes. Flight Is Remarkable. At 'Ak-Sar-Beri field, Lieutenant w , waynara rcgaraeu nis. accmeni oi yesterday philosophically and re marked that like a ball game, a race is not over until the last plane lias landed. His exceptional rec ord flight from San Francisco to Sidney, Neb., through the severest kin4 of weather and flying condi tions, is regarded as remarkable by the War department and -for that reason the rules of the contest were stretched, in the transfer of motors, tp permit the premier, transconti nental flyer to continue in the race. In view of his forced landing Thursday and his being out of the race temporarily, two other east bound pilots, Lieutenants Donald son and Pearson, started their trips early yesterday in an attempt to overtake and wrest the honor of leading the entrants in the cross country derby flight J . Major Spar Withdraws. Advices from Buffalo yesterday atated that Mai. Carl Spatz, who is returning to San Francisco 1 from Mineola, had withdrawn from the race and had turned his plane over to Capt Lowel H. Smith, who will make the return trip in ft. lapiam Smith was the second of the trans continental flyers to arrive in Oma ha after the start of the derby. He was bourid for Mineola. Due to un favorable weather and a minor ac afdent he was forced out of, the lead 6f the eastbound flyers and arrived at 21 ineola in third place. . Major ; $pitz was the first of the easfbovmd aviators to land at Hazelhurst field.' On the return trip Captain Smith got as far as Buffalo, where - the wings of his plane were -destroyed by ft fire from a lantern which had been placed on the plane to prevent its being run into. The refusal of the War department to permit him to make a change put himout of the race, but a later ruling, issued festerday, following the accident to Lieutenant Maynard and the per mission, for him to change the mo tor of his plane permitted the re . tntry of Captain Smith. On the arrival of Major Spatz in Buffalo yesterday, he found Cap tain Smith, ready to continue ," his Slight, but without a pla.ne. : Major Spatz then volunteered to withdraw from the race and, permit Captain Smith to' use his plane. The pro osal was communicated to Wash ington and was accepted, Captain Smith leaving a short time after for Cleveland, O. , Lt E. C Kiel, second racer to ta.nd at Mineola, hopped- off yester day on his return trip to San Fran cisco and should reach Omaha today.- The flyers from the west, return ing to Mineola, so far on the return trip have been meeting with much more favorable flying conditions than the westbound flyers and con sequently have made a better show ing to date than the west-bound pi lots in the second leg of the 5,400 mile flight' Maynard" Tells Bryan Story of His Trip ' . Qikago, Oct. l7.The story of how they. ' repaired their damaged ftirplane in ft Nebraska cornfield was cbtained" from the 'flying parson.' JNeuL B. H. Maynard, and his ob server, when they passed through Chicago today. Except for the breaking of a crankshaft in Ne braska, they believed they were making better time going east! than they did westward. Lieutenant Maynard was rather cryptic, merely saying he flew better than he talked, . . All the night, while .the pilot slept, W- E. Kline, Maynard's observer, with a fanner mechanician and at taches of the - Nebraska good roads aervicewho happened to be near .Wahoo, Neb., when Maynard plumped into a cornfield, toiled to install yie big Liberty motor front the wreck of Capt. Roy Francis' bombing plane into No. 31. These two did the skilled work alone, ' Trusted to Luck "We trusted to luck and went to work," Kline explained. They rigged up a chain over the limb of a big tree and with it lifted oat the broken motor-and hoisted in the new engine. . Dawn was breaking when the last nut fastening the pfopellor . was tightened and the engine ready. O. K., warm her up. said Lieu tenant Maynard. Kline climbed mto the cockpit and manipulated switch and throttle until satisfied that the big power plant was ready for his chief. Then be scrambled into, the rear cockpit and dozed beside Trixie, the Ger man police dog, while Maynard took up his share ef the race, right ing the bumps in the air and worry ing about the route. One reason why they are break ing records is that Maynard does a lot of things not taught or counte nanced in the flying schools. Coming into Grant park, he had too much altitude, officials say, and according to the Hoyle of flvinar. should have gone around the held again. "Side-Skids Down. Instead Maynard did a danirerous- looking skid one way, then the other way, and set his Diane down. This doesn't take so' long. Vv hen time came for Mavnard to leave, he didn't run down to the other end of the field and "take off" into the wind. He simply gave er the gun" and took off from that part of the field where he happened to be, squarely across the wind. It was more dangerous, but quicker. tit held the ship close to the ground for 100 yards, zoomed it a couple of hundred feet that is, shot his plane almost straight up turned the nose southeast and was on his way to 'Bryan, Ohio. Crowd Volleys Questions. Dozens of Questions were fired at the tired pilot by the crowd. iJont you get awfully tired?" asked one. "No, I don't eet as tired as some of them. One aviator , whom I met on the way to the coast looked like a corpse. This country is all right to fly over, but those mountains" he stopped as. if description were impossible. ' Which side of the, country would you recommend to cross-country flyers?" - , V ell, I d recommend the west if they want to see pretty country," he said. Lieutenant Maynard said that he rarely went up more than 2,000 feet or, at most, 3,0Qfj feet above the terrain over which he is flying, and that he didn t run his motor to the unit of its possibilities. ' , Good to Movie Men. When motion picture men crowd ed about him as he clambered out of the seat, the "flying parson" smilingly tried to oblige them all as they leveled their cameras at him. "Lieutenant, would you mind picking up your doe again? Now hold that a minute, they pleaded, and the hero, of the air race good- naturedly turned this way and that. l nxie enjoyed it, too, and let one photographer get a snapshot of her as she aimed a caress at Maynard's nose with her lone, active tongue. Before Lieutenant Maynard accept ed lunch from Red Cross workers, he carefully lifted the dog out of the plane. He let Kline worry about the engine, but he took care of the dog himself. Trixie sleeps most of the time in the air and saves her energy fo the stirring receptions she meets on the ground. Smith Tells How Spatz ( Gave Up His Machine Chicago, Oct. 17. Capt. L. H. Smith, who for the first half of the transcontinental air race was closely pushing the leader, Lieut B. W. Maynard for the lead, on his, arrival at 5:22 today, on the return trip west, told how misfortune had over taken him in various guises since he last saw Chicago. He did not talk freely, but answered the questions of newspaper men. " "I believe my hard luck is over," he said. "Was Spatz tired of the flight?" someone asked. ... ''No,1 said Smith. "I wanted to fly badi and he was simply good enough to give me his ship and his chance." ' First Half Finished by 17 on the Coast San 'Francisco, Oct. 17. With four arrivals here, 17 of the con testants who started from Mineola, N. Y., in the army airplane service race twice across the continent had tonight cdvered the first half 6f the course. Another was also added to the five who had doubled back from here on the second leg of their 5,402 mile High. Preparing a Reception for Maynard on Arrival Mineola. N. Y., Oct. 17. Army officials at Roosevelt field are plan ning to kive a rousing reception to Lieut. B. W.

It wa the most warmly contested oratorical effort of the legislative assemblies. Every member of the Douglas county ds egation supported the res olution with the exception of Porter, who was absent Crosier Makes Rabid Talk. Representative Croiier contributed the most radical speech of the morn ing. The official records shows that 26 cases of rape have occurred in Omaha during the past four months," he said, and the unof ficial reports show 45 of them. If necessary I'll get the physicians' certificates to show this. Woman hood has not been protected and therefore the people of Omaha re sorted to mob violence. Today a girl in O.-naha is lying in a hospital with hei breasts cut oft by a negro brute,- and is dying of cancer. A 10-yearivd girl was terribly maimed as a result of a negro's attack. A woman, who 'became a victim of an assailaat in her own home while her husband was away, is now a raving maniac. Threatens Court House. "Wc ar going to do everything in our power to protect womanhood in Nebraska. If those young boys at Omaha are sentenced to the peniten tiary, we'll tear the rest of the court house down." Othfi members applauded as Cro zier sat down. Representative Snow and other speakers tpposing the resolution de dared that failure to enforce the present law against rape was re sponsible for the mob attack instead cf puuing additional measures on the statute books. Wants Death Penalty. Representative Fults said that leg islation to punish mob violence was of more importance than the meas ure proposed in the Reynolds reso lution, sir. Windham said in ex treme cases he would be willing to impose the death penalty for rape, but he did not believe a special ses sion was necessary. Representatives Dyball of Oma ha replied." The honor of our women , is worth more than the $10,000 to $12,000 which a special session would cost, said Representative Dyball. "I have heard from many of the best women in Omaha and their husbands, who came to me and asked me to take the matter up with the governor, which I did." I he opposition to an additional session triumphed on the roll call. Hold Amendment Valid. Satisfying themselves that Attor ney General Clarence A. Davis erred in his legal opinion holding against the Jenison house amend ment to the Omaha police bill, H. R. No. 1, on the ground that the governor in his call for the special session did notvauthorize this par ticular section of the statutes to be amended, members of the senate ju diciary committee proceeded Fri day morning to declare the amend ment valid. After amending the amendment, the committee, adjourned until S p. m. to amend it some more. Power of Removal. The amendment in question in ef fect took the police department of Omaha out from under civil service and placed power of removal of tny officers and men in the hands of the police commissioner. The commit te lifted the power over into the hands of the city council. , The committee rejected the "sav ing clause" suggested by the attor ney general to preserve the rest of t!.e act if the particular amendment was passed over his opinion, by stipulating that if any section of the act was found invalid, it would not invalidate the whole act with the. same acumen as it dealt with the oody of the opinion,. Declare Commission a "Fizzle." "This act raises the pay of the Omaha police department; lets the whole act fall, including the salaries, if the department or individuals eare to attack it," said Senator Peterson. Cooper of Douglas was the only opponent to the reversion of the at torney general's opinion, and Chap pell of Buffalo raised a lone voice against placing the removal power in the hands of the city council in stead of the police commissioner. Peterson and Hoagland criticised the commission form of government "It's a fizzle in Omaha and it's a fizzle in Lincoln, because there is no co-operative administration," said Senator Peterson, who is city attor ney of Lincoln. It Is expected the senate will act Two More Changes In Peace Pact Fail (CoatlaMal From Fat Ow.) and by Senator Kellogg, republican, Minnesota, who argued that the pur pose could be served sufficiently by reservations. In the course of the day various other features of the treaty and the peace negotiations were discussed, Senator Brandegee, republican, Connecticut and Wads worth, republican, New York, at tacking the dispatch of troops for Silisia, and Senator Hitchcock and Senator Nelson, republican, Minne sota, defending the action. The move to further Ireland's cause in the league was made by Senator Walsh, democrat Montana, who introduced a resolution express ing it as the sense of the senate that once the league is organized the United States should bring before it under Article XI, the right of the Irish people to self-government It was this article, which permits any member state to call attention to any condition threatening the peace of the world, which President Wilson repeatedly quoted on his western trio as holdinz out hope for subject peoples and embodying his views on the Irish question. Clerks Read Treaty. Although no formal action was taken bv the foreign relations com mittee on the offer of Colonel House to tell, it what he knew of the Ver sailles nesotiations as soon as his health permits, it was said, there was a possibility that he might be asked to appear even though the commit tee bad completed its wortc on tne treaty. In their readinsr of the treaty text a formiliy required by senate rules, the senate clerks about completed durinsr the Jay the first half of their task. Most of the time they were dronjng away with an audience of less than half dozen senators, and when they resumed in a filled cham ber after the vote on the Fall htnendments, their voices were drowned out so effectually that Senator Robinson, democrat Ar kansas, asked that they "be called to order so as not to interfere with conversation on the floor." v The reading will be resumed to morrow and the leaders nope 10 complete it during the day. cept the amendments adopted by the house. Discuss Profiteering. The state senate Friday morning gave Senator C. Petrus Peterson of Lancaster county unanimous con sent to ameml Senator Taylor's res olution demanding that the governor call another special session immedi ately to act on profiteering. Sena tor Peterson promised to support the resolution in the form in which he would amend it Speaking in favor of his resolution, Senator Taylor proposed a tentative legislative commission empowered to probe prices and profits, and to remain in session if necessary until the next session of the legislature. He asked that the evidence be pub lic. "Four months ago, the governor told us that the code bill would be sufficient to handle this question, but here we are, without anything having been accomplished, and a great unrest growing all the time' he said. -i " Taylor admitted that the unrest was a world condition, aggravated, he said, by congress refusing to ratify world peace. "Nebraska is only a small part of it, but it could not go amiss by trying to do something. Senator Hoagland called attention that his trade commission bill in the last legislature had been killed a measure with the same scope a? Taylor's proposed commission. "This bill was killed by 14 demo crats in the house, after it Jiad passed the senate." he said. Packer Bill Killed. "I also introduced a bill for the state license of packers, based on the Kenyon bill in congress, but this, too, was killed." The senator from Lincoln count) did not mention the fact that op ponents of his bill claimed to see a joker in the fact that it did not pro vide publicity to "trade secrets" and cost prices. Senator Peterson, in asking unani mous consent for an amendment to be submitted Saturday morning, de clared that the language of the Tay lor resolution, saying that free speech and free press had' been abolished, was too strong. "Maybe, that is extravagant; I know my failing, and I know how I feel; I am too glad to let the sena tor amend the resolution, for I am mainly interested tn getting accom plished the purpose of the resolu tion," Taylor replied.

A "Paved Road" Through the Jungles of Hard School Studies Given Children In the Educational Series Found in The Bee During next week The Bee will begin running its great series of Educational Articles for Boys and Girls, the install ments to continue every day through the length of the school term. The boy and girl who wishes to get ahead in studies with the least effort, cannot overestimate the value of these articles. It is an exploded idea that the one who has to do the hardest work in looking up his studies is the one who retains the longest what has been learned. The time spent in searching through half a dozen books or more to find a reference is time wasted that could be spent in learning something else, if the reference had been right at hand. Found at Glance. This is what these educational articles provide. They are to the student in the subjects of his studies what the diction ary is to him in his pursuit of the right word to express his thought. It gives him at a glance, or a moment's search ex actly what he must look up. The value of a ready reference of this kind is double-fold to parents. In the first place they have assurance that no lack of a proper reference book will deprive their child of the advantages that may be enjoyed by another, and a second, and lesser but none the less agreeable, fea ture is that it in a measure puts an end to the numberless questions asked by ihildren, concerning studies which the parents of their day, did not find in the curriculum, and with which they are not familiar. Subjects for Week The articles will be run under a gen eral subject for each week, each day's installment referring to some form or branch of the study for that day. Each Monday the article will treat of "How to study skillfully' and "nature study." Tuesdays will deal with things for boys to make, and things for girls to make. s 'Wednesday will tell of some adventure that made some American great, and o woodcraft. Thursdays will take up sports for boys, and things for the all-around American girl. Fridays will teach of ways to earn money outside of school, and of everyday science and home mechanics, and Satur days will discuss what future lies before boys, and what girls can become. Leading Educators The twelve articles have been care fully prepared by leading educators in the country in the subjects handled, and will be published only in The Bee. They are interesting reading of the highest and most instructive class, and afford the boy and girl of today another wonderful op portunity such as was never enjoyed by their parents. It is those who embrace opportunities who forge ahead of their fellows. Don't let the boy or girl next door get ahead of you for lack of this "nicely paved road" amid the jungles of school studies.

In the book, the manuscript of which is completed, the count tells the German people for the first time the full story of how America came into the conflict He tells of his own futile long-distance fight against the U-boat war. ef his relations with President Wilson, Secretary Lansing and Colonel House, and of bis ef forts for peace.
