Sent out Last Night From the Gov
ernment's Wireless Station at
Rock Island, III.

That the amateur wireless opera
tors and private stations all over this
country are well prepared to help
out the government in case of emer-
gency was demonstrated last night,
when a radio message was flashed
from a station near Rock Island, H..
arsenal and caught in all parts of the
country by the amateur stations.
Leaving the starting place the mes
sage travelled east and was caught in
this city by Cashier Dudley Harley,

Mr.. JEFFERsoN's CANDIDACY.

Mr.. Taylor Jefferson is the first
Democrat to make public announce
ment of his candidacy. He seeks the
nomination for assessor ON the Demo
cratic ticket, subject, however, to the
party's action at the June primary.
Mr.. Jefferson is we'll known to Berke-
ley county people, and needs no in
PRODUCTION. For the past three years
he has assisted the assessor with his
clerical work during the busy season,
and proved an efficient clerk. I'm
doubtedly he will have a strong fol-
lowing.

AIR A FOE TO j. 5.
BORDER AVIATORS
Officer Back From Mexico
Tells of Difficulties the
Planes Must Face
PROPELLERS WRECKED,
BY DRY CLIMATE

NEW YORK. June 27. - Henry
Woodhouse, for the Aero Club OF
America. gave out statement yester-
day in which an officer Of the United
States Army. who has returned from
Mexico. was quoted as follows:
Most OF our difficulties were en-
tirely unexpected. In the rush, our
first aim was to get machines where
they were so badly needed. Naturally
it was assumed that those aeroplanes
which had made records here and
those which had given satisfactory ac-
count OF themselves abroad would do
the same thng in Mexico.
1T was not until we had actual ex-
perience on the spot that we discover
ed new problems due TO different con-
ditions II is a remarkable fact that
practically all of the difficulties of
other places are mobilized, so TO
speak, into one united force against
us in that part OF Mexico where our
men are.
1T is this that has made the situ-
alton a new problem in aviation. You
see. in Mexico we are up against very
high temperature-the elevation of
Denver. the dry air of Minneapolis
the rising and falling air currents
due to the deserts and soft, light sands
covered with low brush. These con-
ditions are the very worst possible.
"On account OF the high tempera-
ture in this part OF Mexico the water

Harold L. lckes, Progressive National

Raymond Robins sat in the commit

Mr. Colby moved that Victor Murdock

William Finn, Of Pennsylvania,
who was one OF the strong Hughes

ed from the meeting. Later in the
DAY Mr. Colby apologized to Mr.. Rob
ins. and the two men parted friends.
Colonel RoOsevelt's letter was read
TO the committee at the beginning of
the days session. II contained a
strong Endorsement of Mr.. Hughes
and a blistering attack upon the
Wilson administration.
After Mr.. Garfield presented his
resolution. Mr.. Colby moved that ac-

motion was defeated by a vote of Is
