NC-4 AT ENGLAND MAY TRY RETURN FLIGHT TO U. S. NC-4 Swept Into Harbor of Plymouth, Eng., Today. Talk of 'on-Stop Return Trip to America. WHOLE FIGHT IN 54 HOURS Read's Great Ship CoTered 3,900 Miles Over Water. Crews of C-1 and T-3 Were There To Greet Winners. Plymouth, May 31. It has been learned here unofficially that there Is a prospect that the American sea plane NC-4 may fly home over the direct Atlantic route from Ireland to Newfoundland. It is understood a conference will be held here shortly to discuss the project. The navy department is without of ficial news of Read's next move. Whether he will fly or travel other wise to France in answer to President Wilson's request that the NC-4 crew go to Paris after landing at Plymouth, is not known here. Various suggestions have been made for disposition of the NC-4. The one most favored now is to have the machine "taken down" and shipped back to the United States to preclude possibility of its loss or destruction, and have it placed in the Smithsonian Institution here for posterity to view. American naval officers say the NC-4 is in better condition than when she began her flight. Furthermore, the experience gained by all of the NC-4's navigators and pilots would prove of inestimable benefit, should the return flight be attempted. Plymouth, England, May 31. Com pleting its great flight over the At lantic, the American seaplane NC-4 swept Into the harbor of Plymouth at 2:26 p. m. today (9:26 New York time). The American naval fiyer came into view of Plymouth at 2:23 o'clock (lo cal time) and three minutes later had dropped down in the harbor. I .eft Spain Early Today, The huge' ship of the skies, under dii-ection of Lieut. Commander A. C. Head, her skipper on the whole his toric air voyage, left Ferrol, Spain, on rite -last lap r--tktip.lwrtlj-"aftef o'clock this morning. She spent the night at Ferrol after having been forced by engine trouble to descend first in a river 100 miles north of Lis bon, from which point she started for Plymouth early Friday. An eager watch for the triumphant STankee seaplane was maintained here and crowds rushed to vantage points when word came that she had been sighted. She was given a rousing welcome. The weather was not auspicious to day. It was cloudy with a drizzle in the morning. NC-1 and NC-S Crews There. The crews of the seaplanes NC-1 and NC-3 were waiting to greet their comrades of the NC-4. Smiling and smart, they arrived aboard the U. S. S. Rochester looking like men returning from a pleasure jaunt, instead of sail ors of the air who had experienced narrow escapes from death in trying to fly across the Atlantic. Lieut. Commander M. A. Mitcher of Oklahoma City, pilot of the NC-1, de clared the transatlantic flying problem was not one of motor power, but of navigation owing to uncertain weather conditions. He said he hoped an air ship would eventually be built big enough to alight en route if necessary and survive the buffeting of storms. "Every man is eager to try again," declared Lieut. D. H. McCullogh of Newport, Pa. Lieutenant Barin of Portland, Ore., said there was nothing sensational about the NC-l's experiences; that their adventures seemed no different from those met with on an ordinary flight. Much Excitement. There was considerable excitement in Plymouth, at the approach of the American plane. Crowds were out yesterday and were disappointed when word came the machine had been forced to descend on the Mondego river, Portugal. When Read wirelessed for Informa tion as to the best port within 300 miles in which to spend the night, he was advised to go to Vigo or Ferrol. He chose Ferrol on the northern coast of Spain. While the plane remained there the American destroyers Hard ing and Tarbell stood by to render as sistance. Flics Over Brest. Paris. May 31.

Samuel Planning $40,000 Building Near Tenth and Polk. Topeka's crying need for apartment houses may be alleviated to a certain extent shortly by the construction on Polk street just off Tenth avenue of a $40,000 building with one of the best equipped living rooms in the city. The apartment is being1 planned by A. Samuel, 522 West Seventh street. Samuel owns the Delodes apartment at the corner of Tenth and Polk streets. The new house will be built just south of the Delodes with a west frontage on Polk street. It will be three stories' in height and will be larger than the Delodes. The Delodes cost $25,000 a few years ago. The new apartment will coFt $40,000 or more. It is rumored that several other apartments are being planned for the city to be under construction this sum mer, ever was Topeka in greater need of houses and apartments. DAREDEVIL FLYER CLIMBS FROM ONE PLANE TO ANOTHER 2,500 FEET IN AIR 5T Lieutenant Locklear on top of lower climbed approaching with the Atlantic City. N. J., May 31 (Spe-' cial to State Journal). Lieut. Ormer Lockyear has thrilled theworld with his daring: feats of dropping: from one air plane 3,500 feet in the air to the top of another plane a few feet below. Just a few days ago he overshadowed this feat by standing on the top wing of a plane, then jumping: up to grasp a rope ladder suspended from an air plane above, and climbing into the plane above. All this happened 2,500 feet above the earth at Atlantic City. ONLY NINE COPS Rest of Winnipeg's Police Force Is Discharged. Refused ToB Premier Promises Action. Winnipeg, May 31.

Union Men in March. A procession of union men and re turned soldiers, some of the latter be ing in the union ranks, marched thru the business district of Winnipeg again, shortly before noon today, and proceeded to the provincitl parliament building.

A kissing match between a soldier of the 353d infantry and a beautiful Topeka lassie cost eight Topeka men just about J10 Memorial day. The eight men were the men who are putting up the cash for the mov ing pictures of the parade. "Big Bing Bars Bill" Biby was directing the pic ture. Biby spied a certain lassie who had all the attributes of a Mary Pickford. Biby also spied an ambitious looking soldiers. A, bit of Biby blarney, a smile of earnest willingness from the soldier, a blushing assent from the lass. "Shoot it, boy. shoot as long as it lasts." Biby spoke to the camera man. "Kiss her, boy, kiss her." These directions to the soldier. The soldier did twice. Then K was taken out of his hands. The girl backed off, took one look at him, and proceeded to evidence an alarming desire to continue the performance all day. "Stop the camera. Somebody take her off." Biby had had enough. He said afterwards he thought the girl and the soldier would have been perfectly willing to take up every bit of the two thousand feet of film with the repetitions of the "Kiss her, boy," performance. i gi i mi V plane with the other into which ht rope ladder dangling below. Most folk who read about Lock- j year s feat called him a nut.' Lockyear denies he does the thrill ers simply to defy death and gain pub licity for himself. He says he has one purpose in mind to boost aviation. His feats in transferring himself from one plane to another show, he says, that fuel and supplies can be trans ferred in midair without stopping a plane. This accomplishment will make non-stop transcontinental flying possible, he points out. REDS LOSE A FORT Bolshevlki Eradiating Oren burg in Face of Assaults. chak Soviet Line Cut. London, May 31. The evacuation of Orenburg, one of the last Bolshe viki strongholds in southeastern Rus sia, is suggested in a Russian official wireless message received today from Moscow. The mesesage says that to the west of Orenburg the Bolshevik! aban doned Tatikevo "under enemy pres sure." The Russian wireless adds that the Bolshevik! drew back their flank to the Orenburg-Samara railway line. A telegram from Omsk received In London Wednesday said that on May 21 the Siberian troops of the Kolchak government were storming Orenburg. Occupation of Orenburg by the Kol chak forces will be a serious blow to the Bolshevlki position in southeastern Russia. It was thru Orenburg that the Bolsheviki maintained communi cation with Turkestan and China, From Orenburg as a base the Kolchak government will be able to join fronts witn tne Ural Cossaks in the region of Uralsk and thence with General Den iken.

Pas sengers arriving here from the in terior of the state reprot that Villa followers are concentrating in the neighborhood of Tonichi, the railroad Junction of the Southern Pacific de Mexico, about 20 kilometers west of the Chihuahua state line. According to the passengers, all foreigners are leaving that section, fearing violence at the hands of nu merous bands masquerading under the Villa banner, and as a result min ing operations are being paralyzed.

Villa-Diaz Vnion Complete. Laredo, Tex., May 31. The union of Villa-Diaz revolutionary forces in northern Mexico was completed in a meeting this week at Parral, near Torreon, according to reports received by Mexican officials at Nuevo Laredo, which practically had been confirmed today. Great disappointment is said to ex ist among the Carranzistas as a result of the state department's action in re- fushing permission for Carranza forces to pass thru the United States in their concentration against the revolutionists. It seriously handicaps the government against the revolu tionists, Carranza leaders at Nuevo Laredo declared, pointing out that transportation of large Carranza forces to Juarez is possible only by crossing a part of Texas. Federals In Tight Place. It is admitted that the Carranza forces Jn Chihuahua; where the Villa movement is atrongestL are ..badly in nteu oi reiniorcements. The movement for the union of the r ellclstas. followers of Felix Diaz, and Villaistas started with the death of General Blanquet. second chief of the Felicistas. who was killed supposedly by federal troops near Vera Cruz some weens ago. Tne Felicistas real ized at that time, it is said, they lacked power to start a successful movement alone and immediately sent emissaries to Villa with the resulting Parral con ference, where Gen. Felipe Angeles was named provisional president and the bandit Villa his secretary of war. Refugees here, while afraid to make open statement, are known generally to admire Oeneral Angeles and to fa vor his movements. Little Anxiety on Border. Dallas, Tex.. Mav 31. The Villa Angeles proposed Mexican revolution is causing little concern along the border, according to reports here. The general belief expressed by state offi cials, American consuls in the bor der towns and department of justice agents who are following the case, is that Villa does not possess sufficient military strength to attempt an exten sive operation. "No excitement over Villa's report ed manifesto, declaring General An geles provisional president of Mexico, exists here, American Consul Block er, at Eagle Pass, declared.

They said he put the issue squarely up to the country when he said, in effect, that those who oppose the league are fighting for tho return of the old order of things and predicted another war if they succeeded in their fight against the league.

Topeka, per haps tired out the "day after the day before," at least has ample reason to Congratulate herself on becoming the reception hall at which all Kansas gathered for the welcome of the SSad infantry "All-Kansas" regiment Fri day. She has reason to feel proud that she was the Fhrine at which a Ftate paid homage and honor to the heroes who gave up their lives for the great commonwealth of which it is an integral part and the heroes who re- ui uru ii uiu utn sraa f i tuuj unci hoon. i r The veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, to whom Memorial Day has "belonged" for half a century.

The crowd that lined the streets to relcome the famous 35 3rd was large and enthusiastic and numbered many Out-of-town persons who had assem bled here for the occasion. Happiness and pride gleamed In every eye as the brown columns swung up Kansas ave nue. There was cheering and applause, but as a general rule the feeline was too sincere to be expressed outwardly. I Parade Was Divided. 1 Owing to the fact that the second find third trains did not reach Topeka Until late in the afternoon, the parade was divided into two parts. The first part moved from the Union Pacific de pot at 3:30 o'clock and consisted of compa nies 1, K, L and M, machine gun company, regimental staff and brigade headquarters. The parade was headed by the all-state reception com mittee, chamber of commerce military committee, city and state officials. Four bands furnished the music by Which the famous fighting men marched up Kansas avenue to Tenth street and thence to the state house grounds. Parades Were Impressive. Concerning the parades themselves too much cannot be said. The first on the one which moved at 2:30 O'clock was impressive. But the second one was the most Impress ve and martial sight Topeka ha ver seen. It was nothing but a moving sea of steel for a distance of nearly half a mile. Marching In platoon front twenty-five men breast -the columns moved up Kan sas avenue in a triumph new in Kan sas. With fixed bayonets throwing back the rays of the sun, the fourteen hun dred doughboys marched and tramped sturdily on. Trench helmets made the oncoming waves seem but the waves pf'the sea. It was a march of men whose onslaught in battle was as re lentless and as unstoppable as the progress of the Jucprernaut.

Following is Mr. Harding's story: "Karly last 'lues iay morning, the mining camp was attacked by a ban-i oi" Viha followers, and, after the ban dits had looted the commissary, I was taken prisoner and torced to accom pany tne bandits into Chihuahua to the Pueblo of Mors, where 1 was given every libe..y after being beaten and abused and denied food and water.

After a day's rest, Mr. Harding will leave for Hermosillo, the Sonora .state capital, in an efiort to prevail upon the authorities to give his mine the protection of an armed force and to make a full report of the incident to the American consul.

Villa began the collection of arms, munitions and money a year ago for the campaign, which, rn the opinion of officials here, now has grown to constitute the gravest menace to Car ranza's power since Villa was defeated by the government forces three years ago. Just why Carranza paid little heed to the warnings or was unable to di vert any military forces from othnr parts of the republic to the campaign in the north is a mystery to officials here. Six weeks ago, Carranza had 8,000 men in Torreon, it is officially report ed, with a large supply of arms and ammunition at Chihuahua. Officials here are unable to understand why he did not move those troops north be fore Villa's men had been assembled in a large force at any point. Paris. May 21.

Answers Last Han Notes Premier Clemenceau, as president of the peace conference today replied to the last two German notes. The official statements on the replies have not yet been issued. Presentation of the German counter proposals has created the possibility of again opening up the diplomatic struggles among the allies which have been fought out during the last sev eral months. liaises Old Arguments The German communication is re markable in that it raised some points that are startlingly like those which the lees extreme elements among the allies stood for during the early ses sions of the conference. The amount which Germany agrees to pay in rep aration $25,000,000,000), for instance, is practically the exact figure which th. Americans advocated inserting in the treaty. Belief Inal Germany probably would bo taken into the league of nations immediately but for the unyielding op position of France, was reiterated in Cert.iin quarters today. It was admit ted this opposition is so strong it can not be overcome but the feeling con tinues in ether circles that more would be gained by placing Germany in the position of adhering to all the league's regulations than by leaving her on the outside, subject only to the present machinery to enforce the peace terms.

Gas service was good in all sections of the city. In a city burning natural gas extensively for heating purposes, 0. sudden drop in temperature of the kind experienced in Kansas City April 9. would have demoralized gas service in all parts of the city removed any great distance from the pipeline gates. There probably would not have been enough gas for cooking in the homes of many customers.

It is the intention to send a team of each to the national rifle shoot to be held on the naval rifle range beginning August S at Caldwell, N. J. The high scorers at the state shoot will repre sent Kansas in the national shoot. EsDecial interest is being shown in the guardsmen's encampment this year as it is the first since 1915. In 1916 the Kansas guards were called into the border service and later for service in the war against Germany. It is probable that the encampment will be held at Camp Funston, but the consent of the government has not yet been obtained to that end. The rifle shoot will be held either on the range at Funston or Fort Leaven worth, probably the last week in July. Get Ranges Ready. Officers of the present Kansas Na tional Guard companies have been in structed by the adjutant general to get their rifle ranges in readiness for practice work. Enlargement of the K. N.

Favorable weather, however, hastened the completion of planting rnruout most of the belt and did much to facilitate a resump tion of liberal shipments. The ensuing radical change of outlook almost entirely banished any likelihood of a month -end squeeze in values and during one session made the price of May shrivel as much as 8 cents a bushel.

WE DO IT- ROY PAYNE'S. TAXI CAB d BAGGAGE PHONE PHONE for his arrest and closing of the bank had been planned several days in ad vance. Cashier Lefferdink left Falina tho day before the bank closed and has not been arrested. He Promised a Bonus. In desperation to secure new funds and continue his operations, Leffer dink is reported to have paid 25, 30 and even 60 per cent premiums for bank deposits for ninety days and six months periods. An item of $15,000 was secured by Lefferdink Sundav. it is asserted. The bank closed Tuesday morning. In prevailing on the depos itor to leave his money in the bank, Lefferdink is' said to have promised a $5,000 bonus. He is said to have given further assurance by stating that in event the bank was closed, the guar anty fund would take care of losses. Now the bank g-uaranty fund seems due to provide for a shortage ranging from $250,000 to $400,000. Attorney General Hopkins, who is now in Sa lina, has intimated that arrests other than that of the cashier may be or dered. He has also stated that the double liability law will be applied to all stockholders in the bank in an ef fort to clean up shortages. Best Policy, Sas's Wilson. Commissioner Wilson believes the bankers of Kansas will commend the action of the department in refusing to hastily arrest officials of the Salina bank and to close the institution. So long as it was probable that Leffer dink would make good the bank's bad paper, Wilson believes it was good banking policy to continue to keep the doors of the bank open. After the losses were cleaned up, the state might then make arrests, he stated. 'Every banker has suffered losses," said Wilson, "and to the ordinary lay man it would seem that the best pol icy was to rush in and arrest some one. But good banking is getting the money back. It looked as tho Lefferdink and Broeker would get the money. A Wichita trust company had placed an estimated value of $1,400,000 on their ranch properties. W. S. McClintock, attorney for Broeker, is confident the money will yet be provided to make good the paper in the bank." Cashier After Money. Wilson is also confident that Lef ferdink will be arrested in a few days. He also believes the bank cashier ia trying to raise the money to cover worthless paper. "If Lefferdink gets the money, the bank and the guaranty fund will be ahead," Wilson said. "But Lefferdink in jail couldn't get a dollar." Governor Allen has not as yet re ceived the resignation of Fred W. Knapp, staje auditor, who goes to the Reserve State bank, organized to take over the business of the defunct insti tution.

The Jugo Slavs.' however are said to be setting up obstacles, proving for the pre sent at least- more unyielding than the Italians. Meanwhile there has been no Indi cation of what action the allied conferees propose taking in regard to the counter proposals to the peace terms presented by Germany. It has been pointed out, how ever, that the greater part of the German objections hare been answered in advance of the formal presentation ef the counter proposals. Military developments In the Internation al situation include a reported Polish re verse in Volhynia, the Russian Bolshevik! claiming to have driven the Poles from Kovno. This is the only settlor, however, where the Bolshevik! are claiming any gains of note. Another development has been In Asia Minor, where the process of taking control of the coast from the Turks is continuing. In this process the Greeks have landed new forces at Aviali, northwest of Smyrna, at which latter port allied forces were disem barked 5'o weeks ago. TODAY'S MARKET "REPORTS Chicago. May 31.

Operations on the stork exchange this week were limited to four full sessions hut this did not material ly diminish the volume of trading, the daily turnover ranging from 1,400,000 to 2,000,000 shares. There was tin nndertone of caution, how. ever, resulting not so much from firmer money, but a general desire to take profits over the protracted holiday because of the critical conditions abroad. This tendency naturally manifested Itself in stocks which recently enjoyed especial speculative favor, notably motors and oils but was balat,ed by a fresh demand for shippings, low grade rails, steels and i equipments. I There was also a broader Inquiry for specialties comprising the food, chemical. I rubber and textile groups, accumnlation of those issuing being based on tangible evl- dence of trade improvement. j The unqualified success of the victory j loan as shown by the large over-snbscrip- tiou, also stimulated the bond market and contributed to the success of several new capital Issues, Including a $10,000,000 South American municipal offering. j Hates on London, P-arls and Rome were again extremely unsettled but this loni? standing condition was without adverse effect on British aud French war flotations while the Russian issues in this market strengthened substantially.
