AIR POSTMAN
FIGHTSSTORM
FOR HISLIFE
Lieut.. Kilgore Caught In
Violent Electrical Storm
On Way Here.
PROVE MACHINE BACK
Fierce Wind Stronger Than
Engine-C Gasoline Sup ,
ply Gave Out.

Lieut.. Gilgore. air postman, had
to battle with the elements for his
life on the trip he made yesterday
afternoon from Philadelphia to
Washington. according to his report
on arrival here.
The machine was enveloped in O
violent electrical storm, which lifted
its head SO that it pointed almost
directly upward. and even drove the
machine backward in spite of its
powerful engine.
Storm Worse Higher Up
The storm broke shortly after
Lieut.. Kilgore left Bustleton field,
West Philadelphia. Kilgore was fly
ing at an altitude Of $500 feet. Seek
ing to get above the storm he rose
to 5000 feet and then to 1000. but
the higher he ascended the more
terrific was the storm.
Keeping the nose Of his machine
in the teeth of the gale. the airman
successfully fought his way to .Ha-
vre de Grace, Nd. The vortex of
the storm struck him about mid
way. Incessant flashes of light
ming. accompanied by continuous
roars Of deafening thunder, encir-
cled the plane, which, according tc
the hier. was tossed about like a
leaf.
First the machine would be swerv-
ed around with a jerk, and then as
the pilot would force 1t back into
the proper direction, a stronger
gust would stand it up on its tail.
To the pilot the landscape appeared
to be rapidly moving ahead Of the
plane. which showed him he was
being driven backward by the
stronger force of the wind over the
power of his motor.
Gasoline Exhausted
His supply OF thirty-two gallons
of gasoline became exhausted as he
came in sight Of Havre de Grace.
By skillful maneuvering. he man
aged to bring the machine to a safe
landing. The trip to Washington
was resumed after the worst Of the
storm was over.
The average speed for the trip
was held down to thirty-one miles
an hour.

WESTERN UNION ASKS
KEYMEN TO ORGANIZE
Sends Word to $4,000 Employees,
to Avoid Strike.

New York. June lathe West
ern Union Telegraph Company to-
night adopted a plan for the forma-
tion of a union among its own op-
orators. A conference will be call
ed in Chicago June 10 to perfect
arrangements. The action was
taken. it was said. to avert the
threatened strike.
Notification to the $4,000 en-
ployes in thu United States and
Canada will be sent tonight, it was
said.
Should the employees vote be IA
vorable, a constitution for the pro-
posed new organization will be
drawn in Chicago July 10. Plans
for the new organization provide
That no person having authority
to engage or dismiss men shall be
eligible to membership.
That members shall select their
own chairmen., and ballot secretly
for an elector. who shall have one
vote for each member.
That in no circumstances shall the
members. strike.
is this an attempt to fight the
union?' President Charlton was
asked.
I'VE are not fighting the union"
was the reply. THE whole ques-
tion at issue was whether the West
ern Union had the right to dis
charge men whom I considered had
violated their working agreement.
THE Company must not feel in

effort to give to our people what

HOUSE THROWS
POSTAL TUBE
PURCHASE OUT
Bitter Debate Ends In Vote,
1872 Against,
1873 For.

After bitter 4-hour debate. the
House yesterday -jected by the vote
of 1S2 to 1873 - proposal to authorize
the expenditure Of $4;432. .622 to buy the
pneumatic mail tubes now in use IN
six cities of the country. The Post
office Appropriation bill in which this
provision was inserted by the Senate
will go again to conference where
the conferees of the Senate are stoutIy
insisting upon government purchase.
In the debate preceding the vote,
charges of improper lobbying were
hurled by both sides. Proponents of
the tubes accused Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson of exerting unfair and
undue influence upon Congress sand
upon the various commissions which
have reported against continuance of
the tube service. The other side
charged that a powerful lobby had
been maintained by the tube interests
to bring about the unloading" of
their property upon the government.
Illinois Vote Negative

respective cities. The Illinois dele
cation, however, led by Martin
Madden. of Chicago, cast a major
ity against the tube service, the
vote being for the tubes, z; against
the tubes, 12; not voting, s.
Madden surprised the House by
assuming the leadership of the fight
against the tubes. He maintained
that the Congressional Committee
which Investigated the tubes serv-
ice and reported in favor of buy
ing the tubes could not have had
the assistance of experts in arriy-
ing at this conclusion. He propos-
ed as compromise that the acqui-
sition of the tubes be held in abey-
ance until the valuation committee
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission could determine the price
which the government should pay
for them.

the Committee on Postoffice and

was saturated with fraud" and

(Staf Correspondent /. N. So
With the American Army at the
Marne, June IL (Delayed).-Ger-
man prisoners taken in the recent
fighting in this sector admit that
the German losses due to the
American artillery FIRE have been
frightful. Among the captives is
a former schoolmaster who speaks
four languages. He said he COM
manded a company, though he
was only the top sergeant. This,
in the opinion of American Off
GERS. shows scarcity of German
officers in this sector. Amake-
shift organization OF some of the
troops on the front also is dis
closed.
The schoolmaster said his COM
pany was part OF the units that
had to make the forced march to
the Marine where, he said, they
were told they would be con-
fronted only by negroes-English
and French colonials-but no
Americans.
After the first clash with Ameri-
cans, German officers went among
the German machine gun nests
cXhorting the men to die rather
than be captuIed.
Anxious to Surrender
The men were anxious to surrender,
however, seemingly confident that the
Americans would treat them humanity.
