when 1t became known that he himself
had been compelled to take treatment
in a sanitarium at Neosha, Wis, for

FUNSTON INSULTED BY
LIVERY, LEAVES HOTEL
Similarity Between a Bell Boys
Dress and Army Uniform
Enrages General

KANSAS-CITY, Mo-, Sept. 29.-How
Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston became
enraged because a bellboy in a hotel
here wore a uniform which was almost
a replica of that q captain in the
regular army wears, and moved from
the hostelry Monday, developed today.
General Funston and Percy Barsh-
field q former lieutenant in the Twen-
tieth Kansas, of Philippines war fame,
were together when they noticed the
bellboy. They both demanded of the
head clerk the reason for the youth be-
ing permitted to wear a uniform OF
such pattern.
"It is an insult to every man who
wears shoulder straps" said General
Funston. "It takes years of waiting
and hard service to earn it, and We'll
not see 1t degraded by use as the liv-
cry of a servant"
While the clerk was explaining that
no insult to the army had been in
tended General Funston demanded his
bill be made out. A few minutes later
he left the hotel.
At his home in Fort Leavenworth
General Funston said that while he
probably acted hastily he believed he
was right.

FIRST BANKERS TRAIN
WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW
Railroad Officials Report CroesuS
Special as Running on
Schedule Time

Late advices received by local rail-
road officials indicate that the special
trains bearing delegates to the annual
convention of the American Bankers
association, coming from all sections of
the United States, are running on
time and will arrive here as scheduled.
The Salt Lake route has received
word that the Chicago special, carry
ing 150 delegates from the Windy city
and vicinity, left on time and will ar
rive here tomorrow at 4:30 p, m. The
st. Louis special is carrying 101 dele
gates and is due October at 1880 a.
m. The special from Kansas City has
only 73 people on 1t, but there will be
a greater number from that city, ac-
cording to local railroaa people 1t
was impossible for all who intended
to come from that city to start on the
day the special departed and those
will arrive later on regular trains.
The same is true of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Owing to the fact that
a sufficient number could not come
on the same date. delegates from the
twin cities will travel overland on
regular trains, meeting in Los An
geles, where they will probably make
up a special here for the return trip.

BROOKINS GAINS RECORD
IN DASH WITH A|RsHIP

H. H. Kohlsaat, via the first air line
from Chicago to Springfield"
Brookins announced he would make
exhibition flights tomorrow. Saturday
afternoon he will race Barney Oldheld' 8
200 horse power automobile for mile.
The aviator tonight is the guest of
Mr.. Crebs, who requested a squad OF
police to keep the crowds far enough
from the house so Brookins could sleep.
Mr.. Wright tonight added to MS
terse remark. He said:
"The machine will go for any dis
tance. He flew better the farther he
went, because he had used up more
gasoline and was lighter"
Only water, oil and gasoline STOOD
between Brookins and a continuous
fight between Chicago and Spring
field. He said when his arms tired, ne
set the steering appartus with MS
knees and rested and in this way
was prepared to travel almost any dis
tance.
In the race with the special flyer on
the Illinois Central, which had the
right of way over everything Brook
ms machine fell behind only when 1t
had to rise high. When the airship
glided down again 1t forged ahead ana
stayed there.
At the first stop Broolxins waited for
fourteen minutes for the train to
come up.
The roaring cheer that greeted his
arrival at Springfield seemed to those
in the racing train to be only swell
ing of the almost continuous noisy ova-
ton that had greeted the daring 22-
year-old air man all the way from
Chicago.
AS soon as he had his machine stored
he went down to the city to keep a
-
lean record for continuous flight held
by Glenn H. Curtiss at 141 miles, was
set at 1877, miles-Brookins, Wright BIZ
