Anti-Foreign
Lingiiage Bill
Is Up in Senate
Adjourn After Hot Delate
"Without Taking Action
Vote Will Be Taken '
Today.
Lincoln, Neb., Fel. 2J. (Special.)
Opposition to anti-foreign lan
guage legislation' was pictured in
the Nebraska Mate senate Wednes
day inornmg ?s inspired by the
press, politicians and leaders of for
eign eleijjeuts, who saw their foot
hold of leadership threatened.
That was the view ot speakers
on. behalf of amendments to the Ner
val bill, S. F. 160, re-enacting, the
Siman law and prohibiting discrimi
nation against the English language,
when that bill came up in commit
tee of the whole as a speciat order
of business at 1:30 a. m.. Wednes
day, Say Liberties Infringed.
Those scckiug to defeat the
amendments contended they infring
ed on personal liberties guaranteed
by thf constitution, and there was
no call for them, providing the Si
man law was left intact.
The original Norval bill repealed
the Siinian law, enacted into statute
the new " constitutional amendment
on foreign language, and prescribed
the number of hours a day which
common schpol branches, should be
taught in English in all schools.
Oppose Weakening Law.
Taking the view that the Siman
law should .not be weakened and
seeing in the Norval bill an open
ing for the teaching of foreign lan
guages in the schools under the
guise of religious instruction, after
the law of hours had been complied
with, the majority of the committee
agreed on an amendment to the bill,
re-enacting the Siman law and add
ing the anti-discrimination clause,
and a proviso that in effect permitted
freedom of teaching religion in any
language otr Sunday or the Sabbath
The question came up in the sen
at on a motion by Senator Sturm,
chairman of the educational Com
jnittee. to adopt the so-called Reed
amendments to ihe bill, and a substi
tute motion by H. C. Harriss of Jef
ferson, for the adoption of a minor
ity report oft the committee for in-,
definite postponement of the Nor
val bill. This report was signed by
Harriss. Cronin and McGowan.
The senate adjourned at noon, be
fore any action was taken on cither
motion, to reconvene at 9:30 a. m.
Thursday, when further considera
tion of the bill will be taken up.

(Continued from I'age One.)
the field three times, and gliding
along the ground into the electric
lighted U, came Knight.
His plane carried the same lour
pouches of mail that were borne in
the plane in which Capt. W. F.
Lewis, was killed Tuesday at Elko,
Nev., when it went into a tail spin.
' "Nobody to ;o on to Chicago,"
he asked, t
"Let me take it on.
"I hate to see this transcontinental
trip bust up.
"Wire the wife I'll be with her
for breakfast. I'm going on through
to Chicago."
. Gulping a hot cup of coffee and
munching sandwiches prepared for
him by "Mother" Andrew Bahm,
who lives across from the field,
Knight climbed back into the cock
pit of his machine.
Hops Off for Chicago.
And at 1:55, only 50 minutes aftcr
his arrival, he hopped off for Chi
cagoover a route unknown to
him. Knight's regular route is be
tween Omaha and Cheyenne.
He had been cheered by the
radio operator with the word that
the weather between Omaha and
Chicago wa ideal. . ' "
The westbbiind planes from New
York wete held up, in -Chicago by
snow storms. -
At Des Moines, Knight ran into
a fog.
Just this side of Iowa City he
struck a snow flurry, and, battling
the storm, landed in the air mail
field there at 4:45 a. m. v
His battle with the snovf deterred
him but little, but he was per:
suaded to wait for daylight before
resuming his night into Chicago.
Breakfast With Wife.
He left Iowa City at 6:15 and
reached the windy city at 8:40.
Knight was weary, but otherwise
undaunted by his effort, and his first
words as he stepped from his plane
were:
"Some eats will look good to me
and a little sleep will do no harm."
And off he rode to enjoy that
promised breakfast with his wife,
who happened to be in Chicago.
Twenty minutes later, J. O. Web
ster, reserve flyer on-the Omaha
division, took up the flight for the
east.
The mail, which left San Fran
cisco at 6 a. m. Tuesday, was sched
uled to be delivered in New York
af 6 last night.
Smith Resumes Flight.
Pilot W. J. Smith, westbound
flyer, resumed . his westward flieht
at 6:45. But an overheated motor
forced him to return to Chicago. He
made a second start at 10:55 a. m.
He reached Chicago Tuesday at
3:20 p. m., but was held up by
snow.
Pilot J. P. Ciistensen took the

the regular run.
Smith Returns West.
Harry G. Smith, who led Knight
into Omaha from North Platte Tues
day night, left 'for Cheyenne at 1
yesterday afternoon after a good
night's rest.
Hundreds of Omahans were out
in force Tuesday night to greet the
night flyers
But the crowd had dwindled down
to a scant 50 by the time the
mechanicians at the field announced
Knight's approach with the words.
"That's Knight jazzing his motor."
The magnesium flares on the wing
Itips of the planes failed to work.
But the clear moonlight aided the
flyers in landing.
Beeline for Omaha.
The huge U, outlining the Omaha
field in a blaze of red light, could
he seen from Wahoo, Smith and
Knight declared, ani both of them
deserted the Union Pacific tracks
as guides, and made a beeline for
Omaha.
When Knight stepped forward
with the words he was going on to
Chicago, Supt. William I. Votaw,
sought to restrain him.
"They stopped the westbound
boys at Chicago. I don't want you
to take the risk."
But Votaw soon caught the in
domitable spirit of the west, and
with word by radio the weather was
ideal, he gave his consent.
"For the good of the service,"
said he, as he shook Knight's handy
"Yeh." grinned Knight, "for the
good of the srvice."
And so Knight took the chance
to follow the air trail to Chicago n
the black of night, mysterious and
unknown to him. ,
Goes Over Maps. '' ;
Maos of the route wrc thrust in-
Ulo his hand by eager m,cchanics.
H ith superintendent Votaw and
Chief Mechanic Smith, he went over
the details of the route hurriedly.
."Follow tfie Rock Island after
Council Bluffs," he was' told, "ana
watch for the boafires. We'll 'ohoiic
ahead."
"We'll keep the lights on this field
burning for an hour," Votaw tola
him.
And with a light-hearted wave of
the hand he was off, amid cheefs of
the little handful of spectators left.
Smith, who led Knight into Oma
ha from North Platte, was a first,
lieutenant during the war, and w"j
flying instructor at F"ort Worth.
Knight was the pilot who broke h,l
nose when his plane was precipitated
into a snow bank while flying over
the Sherman hill in Wyoming several,
weeks ago.
Frank Yager flew to North Plattt
from Cheyenne early Tuesday night,
but broke a shock absorber in land
ing. Knight, who was at North Platu,
took the air and came to Omaha.
Knight is kaown as the "high
