astrOus Results

Memphis, Tenn, April 12.-Losing
control of a Curtiss hi-plane, which he
was operating at height of seventy
five feet, J. c. Mars plunged downward
with terrific speed into the infield of
the aviation course here late yester-
day, alighting on top OF a seven pas
senger touring car in which were seat
ed three women and two children. The
canopy top of the touring car saved
the lives of it's occupants, only one of
whom was slightly injured. The BIZ
plane smashed into bits and Mars was
caught under the wreckage, but eS-
capped with no injuries worse than a
badly bruised and wrenched knee and
a Slight cut on his chin.

thrilling manner. Thousands of per-
sons followed the aviator in his flight
across the mile course. saw the ma
chine caught in a sudden gust OF wind,
spin around like top to an angle
right of the line of his original course
and then plunge downward. Screams
of terror from frightened women were
heard on all sides when it was seen
that the bi-plane would land squarely
on the automobile.
It's flight was too quick for the oc-
cupants of the car to jump and they
hudd1ed on the floor Of the tonneau.
The bi-plane struck squarely on the
engine-hood Of the automobile and
then crumpled over on the canopy top.

County Option
Statement Due
From Governor
Shsllenberger Will Be Called Upon to
Tell Where He Stands, on Re-
turn Home from Texas.
{ ZION a staft correspondentl

LINCOLN, March i5.-CspectaI)-When
Governor Shallenberger returns from
Texas tomorrow or next day, following the
adjournment OF the county option meeting
he probably will have some explanations
to make.
The day before he left the governor was
quoted in a Lincoln paper. and the inter
view was sent out by the press agencies
to the effect that he opposed county option.
because 1t meant prohibition, stood on the
5 o'clock law, but would agree to whatever
the party saw Tit to do
! The governor gave me to understand
that II the party endorsed county option. 80
said one prominent democrat here. he
would decline to be a candidate. Now, IL
that. Interview. which was published. is all
true, then it looks to me as though those
Of us who are opposed to county option
will simply q to get behind Mayor Dahl
man and nominate him"
In the executive office today the Shallen-
berger interview could not be confirmed
and neither could 1t be denied, though none
OF the office force Of the governor had
ever heard such an expression from him.
Many parties who are here attending the
Laymen's meeting. called at the office of
the governor this morning and in one dele
cation were eight ministers, all young men.
Conrad Huber, postmaster at Blooming
ton. was in Lincoln today and called at the
executive office to pay his respects to the
governor, an old-time friend. Being pressed
by other callers to say whether he was a
'~standpatter" or an "insurgent Mr..
Huber said:
II am not sure what Is meant by the
term '~standpatter.' Anything that merely
stands will rot. l presume that when one
is called a 's~tandpatter' It means that he
goes ahead with reasonable amount of
steam and does the things that should
be done when 1t is time to do them. l be-
lieve that is safer than going ahead with
the boilers res hot and full steam on, sub
ject at any minute to an explosion.
"As for me l am merely a republican, and
have no idea what the people are saying
about politics. as postmaster l am not sup
posed to dabble in politics"
