Pal Killed
But Flier
Takes Mail
Tex Marshall, Chum of J. T.
Christensen, Killed in Cleve
land, Heavy-Hearted as
Hops Off Here Today.
"lev" and "Chris" were pals.
Their wives are pals.
But. yesterday, when "Tex"
lopped off Ak-3ar-Ben field in his
tirplane, bearing the regular United
States mail to Chicago, his heart was
heavy.
For when he gets home to May
wood, suburb of Chicago, his pal
"Chris"' won't be there to meet him.
"Tex" is Tex Marshall, air mail
1 ilot on the Omaha-Chicago division.
"Chris" is J. T. Christensen, air
mail pilot on the Chicago-Cleveland
division.
Christensen wan cremated Friday
afternoon when his plane plunged
-00 feet to a railroad track in Cleve
land and burst into flame?.
Cheery Farewell.
Mi. an 4 Mrs. Christensen and Mr.
,;nd Mrs. Marshall made their homes
together at 901 South Second avenue,
May wood.
Friday morning;, with a cheery
nrcwelf. Chris and Tex hopped off
Checkerboard field at the same time,
c ue for Omaha, the other for Cleve
land. "1 don't know just how the wife
v. ill take Chris' death," said Tex; yes
terday just before he left Omaha.
"Mrs. Christensen is out here visit
ing Tier mother in Winnebago, and
iny wife is there at home alone.
"But she's something of an aviator
herself.
"She's had over 100 hours in the air
with me, and then she's just like
other wives doesn't believe it could
happen to her husband."
Many Close Calls.
Marshall has been flying seven
years, lie was an exhibition flyer for
several years, and during the war, he
served as test pilot for the Thomas
Morse airplane factory.
During that time, he had many
close calls, he said, even to bring
down his plane in flames.
And so he has an idea of the horror
r; lipintr cremated.
" Although Mrs. Marshall flew with
' her husband on otic transcontinental
;; flight from Florida to Ohio, the pilot
I" was still in doubt as to how she
would receive the news of the sudden
death of their friend, Christensen.
;; Talked of Weather.
' "We talked about the weather just
j 'i before we hopped off Checkerboard
k&ejd." Marshall said, coming back
'.iv-to tTfcristenscn. -
Marsfiif'-KUrid seemed unable to
? stay away from th horrible death ot
rhis pal. ...
i "Visibility was oao. wucn we icn,
and we promised each other to drive
carefully, because of the weather.
"Chris always was conservative,
though.
"He must have given up hope ot
making a safe landing at Cleveland
i - when his motor began acting up. aim
hit out for the field when the crasn
came.
Lost in Fog.
"He probably was lost in the tog
and smoke which always hovers oyer
a big city when the weather is like
it was yesterday."
Christensen was a iormer pilot
on the Omaha-Chicago division and
it held soced records for this division
S S and the New York-Chicago division.
He was born and reared in Blair.
1 1 Neb., and his widow is a native ot
1 1 Nebraska, formerly Miss Lena Davis
of Blair.
His bodv probably will be brought
to Blair for burial, according to
It Superintendent William 1. Yotaw of
3 J' the Onjaha air mail field.

Veto of Movie
Censorship Bill
-. i
Cot er nor McKehie Makes
Public Letters Expressing
Sentiment of Stale On
His Action.
Lincoln,
Governor
April 30. (Special.)
McKclvie today made
letters he received on
public 16
movie censorship, only two of which
criticised his stand in vetoing the
movie censorship bill. The others
were letters of congratulation and
commendation from prominent citi
zen and public men and women.
The governor said that he had re
ceived four other letters of a per
sonal nature, all favorable to his
veto, and a grist of telegrams. He
made public nothing, he said, thai
came from prejudicial sources.
"Yon will doubtless get the devil
from some of the 'holier than thou'
people," wrote L. D. Richards of
Fremont, a veteran republican leader
and once a candidate for governor
himself, "but you have done the right
thing, regardless of its immediate
effect on emotional people. The
time is here to call a halt and about
face on these proposals to make
people good by law, thereby reliev
ing parents from the care and re
sponsibility of their children along
right lines."
Minister Is Amazod.
But Rev. Carl G. Bader, pastor of
the First Methodist church of Clay
Center, saw it differently. He wrote:
"Your amazing veto of the censor
ship bill, with the more astounding
reasons (?) alleged for that action
calls forth protests from every par
ent and decent citizen."
Rev. Rader insisted that parents
need the help of the state in "swat
ting the filthy film." He said Clay
Center was indignant and charges
heard on the street Were bribery and
desertion of the public "in deference
to a very limited public interest."
"The moral sentiment of outraged
voters constitutes both judge and
jury. I would say the burden of
proof is upon you, governor."
The other criticism was from Et
fie F.. Dietrich of York, president
of the Fourth district, state federa
tion of woman's clubs.
Sends Newspaper Clippings.
With her letter she enclosed three
clippings from newspapers, one tell
ing of boys making an alleged at
tempted assault on two girls, another
of boys escaping jail and another
of a fugitive in Omaha trying to kill
himself when officers went to arrest
him. She did not explain the con
nection of the items with the movies,
but her letter said:
"Public opinion cannot regulate the
motion picture put upon the market
by a heartless film syndicate, in the
business to extract every ounce of
flesh."
She frankly tells the governor that
not only will she refuse to support
him hereafter, but she will do every
thing she can against him.
Thomas J. Ronald wrote:
"The stand taken for liberty of
speech and action and putting the
issue up to the parents is after my
own heart and 1 want to express to
you my sincere thanks. I know from
experience that too many parents ex
pect the church and the school to do
what is their own privilege and duty."
Opposes Artificial Brooding.
C. D. Marr of Fremont: "Artifi
cal machine brooding of the young
boys and girls is depriving them of
the proper home influences and is
almost criminal in intent and execu
tion." "Its high ' time that a halt was
called in the efforts on the part of
certain persons m their attempts to
regulate everything and everybody
by law," wrote L. S. Hastings, mem
ber of the law firm of Hastings &
Coufal of David City.
II. M. Bushncll, secretary of the
United States Trust company of
Omaha, calls the veto message, "the
most able state paper that has eman
ated from vour office."
Omaha Woman's Praise.
- "A decision that will mean the un
building of an art that has not yet
had time to correct its abuses," says
Anna L. Hinterlong, S015 Davenport
street Omaha in support of the veto.
C. Q. DeFrance of Lincoln writes
that the veto message is a "classic."
"Congratulations for your splendid
stand and message" writes L. C.
Farquhar of Guide Rock. Other let
ters commending the governor came
from A. L. Beck Hildreth:: J. Rex
Henrv, Fremont; Karl Yv. C. Ilillcr,

Strange View Is
Seen From "Y"
Hospital, 30 Blocks Away in
Opposite Direction Visible
From Secretary's Window.
"li you look out of the north win
dow of Secretary Flower's office on
the third floor of the Y. M. C. A.
building, you can see St. Joseph
hospital," a friend told Samuel Rees
of the Rees Printing company today.
"Since the hospital is in the op
posite direction and only 30 blocks
away, I should say it was a good
brand of home brew the secretary
must dispense there," retorted Rees.
But the "Y" secretary is strictly
temperance. And by following the
above direction, one can see the big
hospital crowning a South Tenth
street eminence reflected in the second-story
window of the court house,
at Seventeenth and Harney streets.
It is the southeast window of the
county commissioners' room, direct
ly opposite Flower's window.
The reflection is clearly visible, de
spite the seeming intervening obsta
cles of city blocks, the new Burgess
Xash building, the huge smoke stack
in its rear and the Castle hotel build
ing. The window which receives the re
flection is diagonally across from
the hospital, seven blocks west and
about 25 blocks north.
Miss Ethel Brown, secretary to
Mr. Flower, first noticed the reflec
tion which is clearly visible every
day. Naval Bases in West
Pacific Inadequate
(Continued from Pace One.)
have recommended no items that
are not necessary to the efficiency
and economical maintenance and
operation of the fleet and that the
providing of these necessary facili
ties can be done in time of peace
at much less cost than they can be
improvised and rushed under either
war conditions or conditions preced
ing a threatened war.
"At the beginning of the world
war we had on the Atlantic coast
the following navy yards and bases:
Portsmouth, N. H.; Boston, Mass.;
Xewport, R. I.; Xew London. Conn.;
Xew York. X. Y.; Philadelphia, Pa.:
Norfolk, Va..; naval operating base
Hampton Roads, Va.: Charleston,
S. C,; Key West, Fla.; Xew Orleans,
La.; Guantanamo, Cuba, and Pen
sacola, Fla., a total of 13 at that
time, sit more than the total rcc-
ommeded herein. .
Established at Great Cost.
"These bases and yards have been
long established at great cost and
the Navy department found it ab
solutely necessary to expend a total
of about $88,208,703 on their expan
sion under war conditions at war
prices in an altempt to equip them
for the maintenance of the fleet found
necessary tinder war conditions even
when the war was 3,000 miles across
the Atlantic.
It was further necessary for the
Xavy department to finance a large
number of private shipyards, dock
yards, boiler shops, forge shops,
turbine shops, etc., at a total cost of
about $64,022,500. The sum recom
mended for expenditure on the west
coast and the number of bases rec
ommended as necessary arc rela
tively small.
"The recommendation and re
quests coming in from the Pacific
fleet as to the development of bases,
expansion of yards, etc., which fleets
realize so necessary even after the
short time that has elapsed since the
fleet went to the Pacific, are in agree
ment with and along the lines pro
posed by the Helm commission and
special board."
The Helm board found that the
bases in the Pacific were only one
third the capacity required for ade
quate care of the navy even, in time
of peace.'

Second Hand Auto
Show To Be Held
Exhibit Intended to Bring
Owners and Prospective
Buvers Into Contact.
Robert C. Mitchell and Charles A.
Franke arc planning the-first second
hand automobile show ever to be
held in Omaha. The exhibition will
be staged at the Auditorium, June
6 to 11.
The desire on t lie part of many
Omahans. including second-hand
dealers, for automobiles has led to
the staging of the show. In cities
on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
where these shows have been held
they are said to have proven highly
successful.
"It is the desire of this show to
bring the owner of a car and the
prospective buyer in contact," said
Mr. Mitchell. "There are any num
ber of persons who would purchase
automobiles if they could find the
car they wanted. During the show
the prospective purchasers will have
the opportunity of seeing scores of
cars which will be sold at reasonable
prices."
The exhibitors will be charged $10
each for the space. If they sell their
cars the contracts will he automati
cal closed and room made for
another machine. The $10, however,
gives the exhibitor the right to keep
his machine at the show during the
entire week. .
A number of persons have already
made application for space.
