Undismayed by Accident lliliagu Tribune-Omaha B laal Wire. Chicago, May 27. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, premier American ace and former leader of the famous 94th aero squadron, arrived in Chicago at 5:28 o'clock tonight, after being, in the air eight hours today. He was piloted to Chicago by William C. Hopson, air mail pilot. The ace may be enabled to com plete his trip to Washington by the air tomorrow if plans made tonight arc carried out. .Upon iiis arrival here, Captain Rickcnbackcr talked over long distance telephone to Gen eral Mitchell, chief tit the air service iii Washington, and was informed that he was to get a ship from either Fort Sheridan or Chanute field, Kantoul, III, to complete the trip. At Fort Sheridan it was learned that Maj. W. K. McHord's De Havi laud was at Ciinnute field. The ace telephoned Major Stratemcycr, commanding officer at Chanutc. Must Have Order. "Will you let me take a ship, please, sir?" asked the ace. "Sorry, sir; all our ships will be in use in the flying circus," replied the commandant. "Jf you talk to the chief of air service and he gives rac 4he order I will send one up to you early in the morning. Major Stratemcycr said tonight that he would probably receive or ders from Washington to send Rick enbacker a plane early tomorrow. Rickenbacker left Cheyenne, Wyo., early today. He was riding in the mail pit of a De Haviland ship flown by C. V. lockup, the air mail pilot. They landed in Omaha, where Rick cnbackcr changed planes, climbing into the ship that Hopson flew to Chicago. "A good, fast ride with a careful pilot," was the vway the ace de scribed the trip from Omaha. "Hop son, who, I understand, is the ace of the mail pilots, flies fast and safe." "Captain Rickenbacker slept most of the way to Chicago," said Hop son. "Any man who goes to sleep in the cockpit of a ship that I am flying has nerve, my boy." Reached Omaha About Noon. Eddie Rickenbacker, ace of aces, rode into Omaha w ith the mail yes terday morning. luCtead of passing the nght here T"ie intended orignally when he started from Redwood City, Cal., on what he hoped would be a one-stop flight across the country, lie tarried here but little more than an hour, only long enough to rest a bit and eat a rather hasty luncheon. .

The two pilots with whom Rick enbacker rode yesterday are the two stars of the air mail service. Hop son, who flies .. icgularly between Omaha and Chicago, was the win ner of The Bee's $1,000 air mail con test. Pickup, who . flics bctwecen Omaha and Cheyenne, won second place after leading the field for, five months of the six-month contest. Rickenbacker still had faint hopes of reaching Washington, his goal, before daylight today. He wired to General Mitchell, di rector of the army plane from Oma ha this noon asking permission to take an army plane from Chicago to Washington following his arrival in the Wrindy city late yesterday aft ernoon. ' Will Make Night Flight. Successful in this request, Rick cnbackcr will leave Chicago as soon as possible after his arrival and make a night flight to Washington. "Bully," was Rickcnbacker's ex- mail pit of Pickup's ship on arriving at the local field at 11:53. "The mail ships are O. K." Rickenbacker was "added mail" to both Pickup and Hopson for they were making their regular flights and in addition to their distinguished pas senger they carried their regular car goes of Uncle Sam's post. In a pouch in-the same mail pit oc cupied by Rickenbacker in Pickup's ship was a package of pictures dis patched. to The Bee from Cheyenne.

May 27. (Spe j cial.) America's non-stop airplane flight record went by the boards I Thursday when Kddic Rickenbacker, 1 after a series of maneuvers which carried him approximately 1,557 miles, completed the trip from Red wood City, Cal., to Cheyenne in 780 minutes, only to have the glory of his achievement overshadowed by a small hump in the landing field here, a hump that took the romance out of the game, and Eddie's splendid ship out of the race. It was no fault of his that he crashed. Investigation by air mail officials and Rickenbacker himself at daylight this morning proved be yond a doubt that his landing was perfect. But a small washed spot on the turf of the field proved his un doing. Marks on the ground indi cate the path the washed spot on the down, struck the washed spot on the Held, causing the wheels oil the landing gear to "wash out." One end of the axle struck the ground, flowed a furrow three inches deep, then the plane nosed out, tearing a large hole in the turf, and come to i est like a bird with broken pinions, Eddie underneath, but he was un hurt.

' Sitting at the breakfast table to Personalities Still Theme of To wnley Debate I Langer Attacks Nonpartisan League Head and Com panies and is Answered In Similar Vein. York, Neb., May 27. (Special Telegram.) Giving full play to per sonalities and induging in remarks pertinent to each others past per sonal history, A. C. Townley and William Langer spoke to nearly 450 people here on the Nonpartisan league in North Dakota. Langer, who opened the debate, aid that the ouestion was based upon the leadership of the Nonpar tisan league, lie accused Townley as follows: Association with I. .W. W. and socialists and the bringing of them into North Dakota as his . col leagues from other states. Joining an alliance with the I. W. W. to act in co-operation and thus obtain a balance of power in North Dakota. ' Spreading the doctrines of the 1. W. W. in that state. Wilful misappropriation of funds. Graft and underhand methods. ' "Townlev and his gang controlled the press m North Dakota," said Langer. "They sought to control the schools ancj other state institu tions. Thev broke the banks they had connection with. Taxes were raised 300 per cent and it was Town ley who was behind it all with his dirty gang of I. W. W.s. and social ists from Kansas arid other states. Townley called Langer a liar and a fool and said that he had evaded the issue of the debate, which was supposed to deal with the value of the Nonpartisan league program and spent all his time on jibes against the league leaders and himself. "The reason I brought socialists into North Dakota." said Townley, "was because of the fact that we needed socialists there. The Non partisan league program as it stands is a successful system and Langer has failed to point out any defects in it. He wasted nine-tenth of his time here as in every other place we have spoken indulging in person alities against me and the men with me.

AH of Bergdoll's Property Seized By United States Notorious Slacker Must Now Go to Work as Alien Prop erty Custodian Takes , Charge of Effects. Philadelphia, Pa May 27. All of the property in this city of Grover C. Bcrgdoll, convicted draft evader and army deserter, now in Germany, valued at about $850,000 was seized today by Colonel Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian of the United States. It consists of real estate and money on deposit in four local banking institutions. The property was held by Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll, Grover's moth er, under a power of attorney. The seizure, Colonel Miller an nounced, was by direction of the president and under the. authority of the trading with the enemy act. It is the first seizure since June, 1919. Takes Parental Home. Accompanied by Major Vincent A. Carroll, his personal attorney, Colo nel Miller seized the "Bergdoll cas tle" on the outskirts of this city, where Mrs. Bergdoll lives. This prop erty was left to Grover by his father. Mrs. Bergdoll owns a residence in the city in a section locally known' as Brewerytown. "Well, when do I have to move," said Mrs. Bergdoll, when served with the seizure- notice.' President Schmidheiser of the Bergdoll Brewing company was served with a similar order, ticing up Grover's holdings in tiat company. It is expected the seizure will cut off all funds Grover may be receiv ing from the United States and throw him upon his own, resources in Ger many. Act Long Contemplated. Washington, May 27. Grover C. Bergdoll, by reason of his escape to Germany, is now held by the American government to be "an enemy" within the meaning of. the trading with the enemy act. This is explained in a statement by Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, which was made public today at his office here. "This move has been in contempla tion for several weeks and has been the subject of conferences between the present attorney general and alien property custodian," the state- i ment said. "The State department I has" amended the general war trade board license of October 2, 1920. ' which permitted Bcrgdoll to enjoy j the benefit, of his property in this j country. ! "Bergdoll in1 addition to his other! crimes against this country by rea son of his evasion of the draft laws and subsequent escape, is today an 'enemy' under the trading with' the enemy act. The intention of the alien property custodian is to admin- j ister the property seized today as that of any other enemy's until con- i gress directs what disposition is to" be made of the enemy property in J the hands of the custodian." i i . t Congress May Investigate j Soldier Relief Money Bag , W ashington, May 27.

Washington, May 24. Final action I on disarmament questions and against beginning a new Pacific coast naval base was taken today in the senate, but other amendments to the $495,000,000 naval appropriation bill were not disposed of when adjourn ment was' taken until next Tuesday, over Memorial day. Disarma ment proposals caused a brisk clash over amendments of Senators Pom-crL-iie, Ohio, and Walsh, Montana, democrats. With the Horali amendment "authorizing and requesting" the president to call a three-power con ference to discuss disarmament al ready in the bill, Senator Poniercne offered a supplementary amendment. It would have authorized the presi dent to suspend American naval con struction for six months "in order to arrange" the conference and if a disarmament agreement should be reached, to suspend construction in part or in whole. The proposal was beaten twice, once on a point of order susta'ned by ' Vice President Coolidge and again . by a record vote, 29 to 37, for sus pension of the rules to make it in order. Even a livelier tilt developed on -Senator Walsh's amendment which which would have requested the president to send American reprc- . sentatives to sit with the disarma ment commission of the league of nations "in a consulting capacity." Denounced by Lodge. This amendment was beaten, 42 to 22, after it was denounced by Sena tor Lodge of Massachusetts, repub lican leader, as "a side door" entrance of America into the league. The proposal for a new naval base at Alameda, Cal,, was lost finally when Senator Ball, republican, Dela ware, a prominent champion of it. announced after a further canvass of , senators, that no further attempt would be made to rescind the sen ate's vote striking the item from the bill. His announcement came after Sen ator King, democrat, Utah, had , served notice that opponents would' delay passage of the naval budget' indefinitely should the Alameda j 'amendment again be presented. Sen ator Johnson, republican, spoke brief! ly in support of the project, but con ceded its defeat, stating that the house would not accept it even if passed by the senate. Clash Over Midshipmen. The senate also clashed over the recent dismissal of 110 midshipmen from the naval academy at Annapo lis. After criticism and defense of the Annapolis authorities the sen ate adopted an amendment provid ing for reappointment of -the mid shipmen who "flunked," to a lower, class. , Another amendment . adopted called for a report by the Navy de partment as to whether any navy yards or stations, should be aban doned. The liveliest tilt was over the Waljih amendment for appointment of Arnerican representative to the league of nations disarmament com mission. Its author contended that it followed the administration's policy of appointing representatives to sit ' with the supreme Council and the allied reparations commission. Senators Lodge and Watson, . Georgia, declared that the p'roposal was an entering wedge for Ameri can participation in the league. "Ths ( peoplo of the United States," said Senator Lodge, ".have decided against that league. 'The president has declared he would not enter it" No Back Gate Entrance. Expressing the hope "that the presi-' dent would call the disarmament con ference proposed by. the Bora'o ; amendment and that sucb a corfer. ence would "soon be called," Sen ator Lodge added: "But I do not propose, for one, to join in any way this league of nations, and I do not propose to ' enter any side dooi' or back gate." Senator Walsh argued that tha . kague commission was considering general disarmament, . while under, the Borah plan, only naval disarma ment would be under consideration. That the sending of what he termed "American observers" to the supreme council and reparations commission had "anything to do with ' the league," was denied by Senator ' Brandegce of Connecticut, a repub lican "irreconcilable." "The supreme council," said Sen ator Brandegee, "is a body utterly, ' unknown to the league. The repara- : tions commission has nothing whatv ever to do with the league of na- tions; it is a body of the Versailles treaty." , British Mine Owners Are Ready to Give Strike Terms London, May 27.
