Tenth Division
Will Start on ZOO
Mile Hike Today

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 1.-THE Tenth
provisional army division, composed
Of the Ohio, Kentucky and Massachu-
setts National Guard units and de-
tach,nent of regulars, encamped in
this district, departed today on what
is said by army officers to be the
biggest troop movement for the dis
tance ever undertaken in the United
States in time Of peace. A line of
men stretching fifteen miles long on
road will cover 200 miles before re-
turning to El PaSo.
This division. commanded by Brig
adler General Charles G. Morton, is
composed of four brigades of infan-
try, with full complement Of artil-
lery and cavalry and such auxiliary
troops as engineers, signal corps
companies and ambulance trains.
Besides the test given Sthe men,
which is accepted as a welcome
c..a..ge from camp life, the march is
expected to yield valuable data as to
transport, for the division is entirely
self-contained, even to .he water used
| TIE men and a..".lais. \
Although the country through
which the division will march is so
dry that automobile water wagons
must be used, the hike, nevertheless,
lies through some of the most wild
and picturesque bits of the southwest.

vation i'll New Mexico, which is sell

BOTH THE GREGGS
HURT IN SMASHUP
Fearless Loopers Of the Loop
Slightly Injured in After
noon and Evening.
CAR RUNS OFF PLATFORM

Two large crowds of thril-seekers
which assembled just outside the Ak
Sar-Ben jubilee grounds yesterday
afternoon to sec the Fearless Greggs
make their combination, double loop
the-loop, leap-the-gap" feature, were
provided with additional thrills when
both Mr.. and Mrs. Gregg suffered ac-
cidents and were hurt.
At the afternoon performance the
car containing Mrs. Alice Gregg
turned turtle and rolled over several
times when it struck the pavement
at the conclusion of the act. Mrs,
Gregg was-iniurcd about the head and
body. She declared after she regained
consciousness that foot bali head
gear which she wore was all that
saved her.
In the evening Mr.. Gregg essayed
the feat alone. His part of the stunt
is to loop-the-loop. Mrs. Gregg did
not attempt the leap-thc-gap because
of her afternoon injuries and the veal,
lights, which made it difficult to see.
Mr.. Gregg completed the loop sue
cessfully, but ran off the receiving
platform and plunge into the curb,
his car turning over as his wife's had
done in the afternoon. Mr.. Gregg was
not hurt badly, however.
The accidents, it is believed, were
caused by the rough pavement of
Capitol avenue, where the stunt takes
place. Both of the cars were badly
smashed by the accidents.

TRAIN HITS STREET
CAR, EIGHT KILLED
Fifty Three Other Persons In.
jured in Grade Crossing Ac.
cident at Detroit.
FIVE INQUIRIES ARE BEGUN

Detroit, Mich, Oct. Mot one of
the eight persons killed in the crash
of Grand Trunk freight train and
a trolley car on the East Side last
night had been identified early to-
day. The bodies were so mutilated
that identification was impossible. OF
the fifty-three persons injured sew
eral are so seriously hurt that their
recovery is doubtful.
The switch engine, with three
freight cars ahead, was southbound
and the trolley was going west on
Forest avenas toward the center of
the city. The end freight car caught
the trolley almost in the center and
swung it off the tracks until it stood
almost parallel with the moving
freight cars. In the panic that fol-
lowed the impact passengers leaped
from dorways and windows. Most of
those who met death we're killed by
jumping from the windows and fall
ing under the wheels of the freight
cars.
Five separate Investigations are ex-
pected to be under way today in an
effort to place responsibility for the
accident. They will be made by the
state railway commission, the coro-
ner's office, the prosecuting attorney,
the Grand Trunk railroad and the
Detroit United railway.
Conflicting stories were told by the
few persons who witnessed the crash.
One was to the effect that there were
no lights on the freight car that
struck the trolley and another that
the crossing gates were not lowered.

HUNZBERGER TELLS
OF HUGHES RECORD
New Yorker Makes Address to
Large Crowd Of Republicans
at Beatrice.
TELLS OF LABoR's TRIBUTE

Beatrice, Neb., Oct. 2.-(Special
Telegram DIR. w. A. Hunsberger
OF New York addressed a large crowd
this evening at republican hcadquar.
ters, being introduced by DR.. B. F,
Gather Of the Methodist church. He
based his remarks on James Russell
LowelPs words, written more than
half a century ago, during the civil
war, and declared them to be as fit
ting now as they were then: New
times demand new men, strong and
virile men," r..
He congratulated the republican
party and the. citizens OF the country
on the fact that man with as clean
a record as Hughes had been nomi-
mated as the standard bearer OF the
republican party. He enlarged upon
the splendid record that had been
made by Justice Hughes atthe bar, as
governor of New York, as a member
of the highest court in the world.
His record as governor, according to
the official labor organization OF the
state federation of New oYrk, sur.
passed any governor who had ever
occupied the executive chair in Al
bany or that of any other state in
the union.
The speaker said that according to
the Legislative Labor News, Mr..
Hughes had enacted fifty-six labor
laws, the best labor measures in New
York or any other state.
Mr.. Hunsberger enlarged upon the
platform of the republican party and
especially upon the plank which
stands for a worlds court of justice
for the settlement of international dis
putes after the war, which would be
to the world what the supreme court
is to the states of the union. He re-
ferred to the timid, vacillating policy
of Woodrow Wilson, its sectionalism,
its extravaganza, its want Of real nett
trality, its fictious property, Of which
the democratic party boasts.
He proved this by long line of
facts and figures and in closing made
an earnest appeal for the republicans
as we'll as the democrats to see to
it that Wilson keeps his pledge in his
platform that was for one term.

MONEY FROM JAMS
IS HELD TO BE LOAN
Judge Day in Douglas District
Court Finds that St. Paul
Man Is Not Depositor.
STATE BANKS PRECEDENT

Barriers preventing spectators and
depositors imbued with mercenary
motives from tampering with the
funds OF state banks of Nebraska
have been placed in their paths by a
decision handed down in district court
at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon by
Judge George A. Day. The claims
OF Frank Iams, we'll known stock
man of St. Paul, Neb., for $4,000
were disallowed and the money de-
posted regarded simply as a loan
rather than a deposit. The case has
been prosecuted for nearly two
weeks by Deputy Attorney General
Dexter T. Barrett. This is the third
claim against the defunct Farmers
State bank of Decatur, won by Mr..
Barrett, in the face of claims pre-
sented under the Nebraska state bank
guarantee law.
Iams the Loser.
According to the decision handed
down by Judge Day, Frank Iams is
the loser, because OF the fact that he
was receiving 6 per cent on his de-
posits, when the state law provides
for the payment of per cent by
state banks. The checks for certifi-
Gates of deposit for the | per cent
difference between 5 and 6 per cent
were sent to Mr.. Iams under an as
sumed name, according to the testi-
mony introduced by Mr.. Barrett. The
name of Simeon Hollowell, aged
Winnebago Indian, has been injected
into the case.
According to the evidence pre-
sented by the state several of the
checks for the extra interest were
signed by the Indian. His children
declare that at the time the checks
were signed their father was con-
fined to his room and was unable to
write his own name.
"The decision of Judge Day in this
bank case sets a precedent among !
state banks of Nebraska. 1t means
that hereafter no man will be allowed |
to trifle with the state bank deposi-
tors guarantee fund.-" said Deputy |
Attorney General Barrett. Further
actions are pending in the matter, be-
cause of evidence uncovered during

Aeroplane Squad Of
Nebraska Guard Is
To Be Discontinued

Lincoln, Oct. 2.--(Special. )7-There
is little hope that the aeroplane squad
of the Nebraska National Guard will
be continued. With the death Of Cap
tain Ralph Mcmillan, chief aviator,
while making an exhibition flight in
Kansas some time ago, there is little
left to encourge General Hall to con-
tinu the aviation squad.
When the government called upon
the National Guard to muster a squad
of forty men, it took but little
while to get the corps in good shape.
but that was just about as far as the
thing went. Many young men inter-
ested in aviation quit their jobs when
the chance was offered to get in as
flyers, but the War department never
went farther and these young men
have drifted back to civil life in many
cases.
General Hall is now offering the
remains of the Mcmillan plane for
sale in order to help out the aged
mother OF the Captain Mcmillan, who
was her sole support. The engine is
in good condition and originally cost
$3.50, but can be purchased now very
reasonably.

Three Morse Ships
In Arctic Ocean

Christiania, Norway, Oct. 2.-(Via
London. "A German submarine has
made its way into the Arctic ocean
and has torpedoed three Morse
steamships there.
The vessels torpedoed were the
Sinsen, Ravn and Rolf Jarl. The

Since August the Germans have
sunk Norwegian boats valued at 49,

The Sinsen's gross tonnage was
1925, and that Of the Rolf Jarl 1865.
There are listed three Norwegian
steamships Ravn, all OF them under
