PAT O'BRIEN'S PLUNGE
PRODUCES BROKEN NOSE
Only Injury Received in His Fall of
1900 Feet While Flying
at Texas Field.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. June 10
Smiling Lieut. Pat O'Brien of Mo-
mence, ILL.,, and later of the Royal
Flying Corps. who survived battle
with four German planes. was taken
prisoner. leaped from rapidly NOV
ing train, wandered more than two
months through enemy territory and
finally reached Holland in safety, is
suffering from the second fall of his
adventurous career, caused, according
to observers, by taking liberties with
a student training type Of airplane at
Kelly Field. Apparently O'Brien's
only injury after a 2.0o0-foot fall is a
broken nose.
OBrien. on a lecture tour, has been
accustomed to flying at different avia-
tion camps in the United States. Yes
terday morning he went to Kelly Field,
met Edward Stinson, an Instructor, and
was Stinson's passenger for a fight.
Descending, he was given a plane of
the same type used for training stu
dents. 1t is much heavier than the
single-seater machines used as scout
planes in the British army. and mis-
calculation of the planes weight and
speed is blamed by O'Brien for his
fall while attempting aerial gymnas-
tics.
Two thousand feet from the ground

able to right 1t, and 1t landed. nose
downward, in soft earth. He climbed
out of the ma chine, badly shaken and

he would have been instantly killed.

With Batlygar Police.

LONDON, June 15.-The arrest of
two men at Batlygar. County CAL

prolonged conflict between a crowd
OF sympathizers and the police. The
police used their clubs and the SYM
pathizers any missile that came to

pathizers barricaded the roads by
telling trees and stringing barbed
wire. Some telegraph wires were
cut
Later the men under arrest were
arraigned in a local court on charges
OF illegal drilling and committed to
the Sligo Jail. The rioting recurred
during the removal to the Jail and
the police were unable to quell 1t. A
bayonet charge was ordered and after

BUCHANAN STATUE FIGHT
TO BE RENEWED IN SENATE

He said that he did not oppose the
erection of a statue to Buchanan in
the capital because Buchanan was d
northerner or southerner.
II would have had greater respect
for him had he been either" said Sen
ator Lodge. This question here to-
day has nothing to do with the south.
President Buchanan was one of our
weakest Presidents: that no one will
deny. To set up a statue of Buchanan
in the capital. where there is no statue
of the elder Adams. who signed the
Declaration of Independence. or of
Thomas Jefferson or Alexander Ham
ilton or James Madison or James
, Monroe or of the younger Adams. to

in this city I mean no statue in a

Senator John Walter Smith of Mary

against the acceptance of the statue

quest of 100000 is available for the
erection of the statue to President
Buchanan He said that under the
will of Mrs. Johnson the gift to the
government of this statue must be ac-
cepted by July l of this year or the
money will revert to the estate.
Reflected on Form Of Government.
Senator Smith appealed to the Senate
to pass the resolution, saying that the
Fine Arts Commission had selected a
site in the southern end of Meridian
Hill Park upon which to place the
statue. He declared that for Congress
to refuse to accept a statue of a
former President of the United States
was a reflection upon the country's g
form of government.
Senator Smith admitted that Presi-
dent Buchanan had believed in slavery
and states rights. He said. however,
that Mr.. Buchanan only reflected the
views of a majority of the people in
this country in the sos.

Smith, when our boys are in France
