THE BEE: OMAHA, "FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1921. Nonstop Aerial Dash Across U. S. To Be Attempted California ns in America-Built Plane Hope to Shatter Three World's Record; Carry 650 Gallons Gasoline. Things Looked Bad for Hastings Editor Suspected of Murder Until- Victim Awakes and Posse Finds That Blood Scribe's Hands Came From Slain Rabbit; Motorists Vivid Imagination Was to Blame. on Los Angeles, Cal., June 23. Flight of David R. Davis of Hollywood and Eric Springer of Ocean Park, in an attempted nonstop dash for New York in a locally built airplane will take place at daylifcht tomor row, the aviators announced here late today. The start will be made from March field, Riverside, and it is planned to land at Mineola field, N. Y. Plans to start here w.ere prevented by field conditions and the locally built airplane was lightened of its 650-gallon cargo of gasoline and started for the Riverside field. This flight, if successful, not only wll prove epoch-making as the first of its kind, but will bring to Amer ica and an American machine two of the three most coveted aerial rec ords marks now held by foriegn flyers. In completing the coast-to-coast flitrht. a distance by air line of ap proximately 2,500 mites, the flyers would break the nonstop distance record of 1,940 miles, made by Al cock and Brown in crossing the At lantic shortly after the war. Indi cations are that a successful trip also would establish a new record for continuous flying, the present mark beinsr 24 hours. 19 minutes, 7 secon ds. held in France. The third of the most coveted achievements of flyers, the record for straightaway speed, probably would not be affect ed in a coast-to-coast flight. Specially Built Plane. The plane in which the attempt will be made is an especially con structed machine in which every modern mechanical appliance tending to insure the success of the trip is installed. Every detail of it is of American design and manufacture. Designed by Donald W. Douglas, it has been christened the Lloudster. It is not particularly large, the wing spread being 56 feet, the length 35 feet and the height 13 feet. Many war planes were larger. The tatiks carry 650 gallons of gasoline' for the 400-horsepower Lib erty engine. An instrument of spe cial construction enables the pilot U tell whether the plane is flying level, even though he is in a fog which makes the earth invisible. Many Useful Instruments. 't Other instruments register the gasoline consumption per hour, the oil consumption, the direction and speed of the wind, the air speed and ground speed of the machine and all other data useful to an aviaior in at tempting such a record breaking The plane has been completed tor nearly two months. Its speed has been found to be close to 100 miles Sin hour as a maximum. United States Barred From Participating In War Reparations Paris, June 23.

Documents which may solve the mystery sur rounding the disappearance of sev eral of the United States shipping board vessels during recent months, are in the possession of the New York City police department it be came known today. These documents, seized about a year and a half ago, when a raid was made on the headquarters of the United Russian Workers of the United States and Canada, revealed a, gigantic scheme which the United Russian workers had on foot to ship their members on the vessels seize them at sea and steer them into Rus sian ports for the soviet government. The raid in which the documents were, seized was headed by Detective Sergeant James J. Gegan, chief of the bomb , squad. Sergeant Gegan said he did not have the documents at hand, but at the time the federal government was informed of the plot. Whether the government took any notice of the matter Sergeant Gegan does not know. When the raid was made several members ofthe United States Rus sian workers known as the "left wing socialists" were arrested. Some of those arrested were deported and others were allowed their freedom. Documents were found in a secret compartment in the Russian Work ers headquarters. The plan was to ship enough men on the vessels to be seized to over power the rest of the crew at tea and take charge of the ships. Divorce Court. Divorce Decrees. Mabel J.

And the man with the bloody hands was none other than Adam Breede, editor and publisher of the Hastings Daily Tribune. Up dashed four or five cars loaded with men armed to the teeth and under the command of a wild-west constable with a six-shooter anil "billy" club for authority.. "You're under arrest," he snarled to Editor Breede. "AH right, fine. There's my pa! over in the car. Take him, too," retorted the scribe. Murdered One Awakes. Yost awoke with a start and gave another start as he gazed down the barrel of the six-shooter and eyed the "billy." Before he could demand an explanation, his companion called to him: "It's all right. Ran, you're under arrest, that's all." The two prisoners were taken back to Oxford, where they were lodged in separate cells and up, dashed a pdsse from Holdrege, headed by Sheriff Anderson, the coroner and county attorney. The sheriff demanded the custody of the two men, which was granted, and in another few moments, thev were on their way to Holdrege. Until about halfway to Holdrege, the identity of the prisoners had not been asked. Then someone recog nized Editor Breede and reminded him of the last time they had met in the Hastings Elks club. Meanwhile, word had been sent to Hastings to friends of Breede that he had been arrested for mur der. Everything Explained. They piled out of their beds, roll ed ' out expensive automobiles and prepared to make the long ride to Holdrege where excitement over the reported man-hunt reigned supreme. The sheriff, posse and prisoners reached Holdrege just before mid night. But, by this time, Sheriff Ander son had learned that the only thing which had been killed was a rabbit, that the gore on Breede's hands was rabbit blood, that the motorist had imagined the rest, and that the only thing wrong was that the prisoners had been forced to abandon their, rabbit supper which the editor wts preparing when the not-to-be-trifled-with posse dashed up. lhe Hastings friends were noti fied by telephone of the error and turned back home. Breede and i Yost were given rooms at the hotel and Wednesday morning they fin ished their hunting and fishing trip, peacefully driving back to Hastings. Baptist Head Says Standard Of Youth Is Low Tells Convention There Has Been Deplorable Lowering Of Morale in Social' Life of Country. Des Moines. Ia., June 23. -(Special Telegram.) Deploring the low morale of the social, political and re ligious life of the country, and plead ing for a return to the religion of the forefathers. President Ernest L. Tustin of Philadelphia, in his ad dress before the opening session of the Northern Baptist convention at the coliseum, urged his hearers to forget their "petty philosophizing" and join in a supreme effort to ad vance the kingdom of God. -, The president dwelt at length on the low moral standards of the youth of America. I "In our social life there has been a most deplorable lowering of morale," he asserted. "The auxiliary board of the Epis copal church, in a scathing article on the moral letdown in the habits of our women, young and old, has given among the 14 points of its ter rible indictment, the following advice to its young women: Don't swear. Refrain from immodest dress; avoid improper dancing; give up drinking; quit gambling; stop joy-riding; ban immoral plays. Youth of Cities Restless. "The necessity of this advice for young women is thoroughly equalled by the moral degeneration and let down in the habits of our young men. The press is teeming with cases of wrong-doing and embezzlement upon the part of the youth of our land, and in business lines the whole as sumption seems to be get the money; get it honestly if possible, but get the money. "The great restless crowds of our young men and women who surge up and down the streets of our towns' and cities while our churches remain almost empty is another of the problems most difficult of so lution. Touching upon the situation in pol itics, President Tustin, who was a former state senator in Pennsylvania, said: "In our local politics the morale is lower, perhaps, than ever before. In nearly every city of our country the word of the boss is supreme. No matter how worthy the cause, indif ferent to all logical and sensible ar gument, the boss can defeat any measure for the uplift and advance ment of the people." Messages from President Harding, Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes and Secretary of Labor James J. Davis were read at the opening ses sion of the 14th annual convention of the Northern Baptists here' this morning. "'Please express to the convention," President Harding's message read, "the assurance of my continued and earnest interest in the work of the church and my great appreciation of the kindly sentiment and support that you have extended to me. I am sure we will all agree that in the troublous times through which we are passing there is a special reason for placing our fullest reliance on those fundamentals to which the churches are unceasingly devoted."

Bad Conditions in Hospitals Described By Ex-Service Man s- i Washington, June 23. Further charges that former service men are improperly cared for and ill-treated at government and contract hospitals were made today before the senate special investigating committee. The committee withheld the name of the witness, a tubercular patient. He testified he received no com pensation for six months after filing his claim, although prevented by hemorrhages from following his the atrical work. He described condi tions in hospitals at Grcenvii. , S. C, Liberty, N. Y., Thoenix and Tuc son, Ariz., Prescot, Ariz., and Los Angeles and Monrovia, Cal., charg ing facilities for the proper treatment of tubercular patients were inade quate, the physicians and nurses un sympathetic and in many instances inefficient, the food poor and condi tions unsanitary. He told of a contract physician in California, who on payment by patients of $30 a month in addition to the allowance made by the gov ernment gave proper private treat ment to patients, but who otherwise placed the men in a boarding house, where he paid $12 a week for each patient, collecting !rSm the govern ment $24.65 for each.
