Buffalo. Oct 17.-Major Carl Spatz,
leader Of the flyers doubling back
from Mineola, arrived from Rochester
at 916.
New York, Oct. 17.-Lieut. Belvia
w. Maynard, leader in the Army S
n-tC-ocean round trip airplane
race. was brought down with broken
crank shaft in cornfield, forty miles
west of Omaha yesterday at noon. A
new engine from another contestants
disabled plane was hurried to him and
mechanics were working last night to
get him started again early today.
81 am still in the race" Lieut. May
nard said late in the afternoon at
Wahoo, Neb., where he landed, and
will make up for lost time as soon
as | can take the air.
Capt Roy Francis, whose Martin
bomber was wrecked at Yutan, Neb.
within ten miles of Wakee, offered
the Liberty motor from his machine
to Maynard. Trucks were rushed
from Omaha, and the motor was TAX
en- to Wahce Lieut. Maynard began
removing his damaged motor as soon
as he heard of Francis offer.
Fliers at Mineola said yesterday
that Maynard was one of the greatest
pilots in the world and also one of the
best airplane mechanics. His know
ledge of mechanics will stand him in
good stead in repairing the damage
done. 1t was said that at his stops at
all the control stations in his flights
both West and East Maynard person
ally looked over his motor and made
such repairs as were needed. This
gave him great advantage, it was
pointed out, because at some of the
stations there was a dearth of skilled
mechanics
Maynards mishap will cost him all
the time it takes to make repairs.
This will react to the advantage of
his opponents. but it was said at
Mineola that if Maynard could com.
plete repairs by tonight he still might
win. fFl NWIiWE
Captain Lowell H. Smith. who was
pressing Maynard for the lead when
his plane burned in Buffalo, Wednes-
lay night, received permission last
night from Washington to accept
,lane offered to him by the Curtiss
Company, and to continue in the race.
Captain Smith was leading in the
yestbound return fight, when he met
his mis.lap.
Maynard, ontil his accident, was
making good time. He hal hoped to
reach Cleveland last night, and
Mineola this afternoon. He started
at 715 o'clock in the morning from
the control station at Sidney, Neb

JAPAN THE FAVORED ONE

Washington, Oct. 16,-By vote Of
So to 35, the SIX Lodge Amendments
to the Peace Treaty providing for re-
storing the economic privileges on
the Shantung Peninsula to China rath-
er than to give them to japan, as the
treaty provides, were defeated today
in the Senate. The amendments We're
voted upon enbloc.
Immediately after the vote was an
nounced, Senator Lodge told the SEN
ate that, sat the proper time" he
would move to strike the entire Shan
tung section from the treaty This
move will come, it is expected, after
the remaining amendments are voted
upon.
Along with the defeat of the Shan
tung amendments, it developed that
the Johnson amendment TO equalize
the voting power of the United States
and Great Britain in the League OF
Nations Assembly, is now likely to
meet the same fate. In the debate
on the Lodge amendments, Senator
Hale, Republican of Maine, announced
himself as opposed to all teXtual
amendments, while Senator Kellogg,
Republican of Minnesota, another
'reservationist," allowed it to be
known to the leaders that he, too, was
of the same mind.
Besides Senators Hale and kellogg,
four ubllcans--Senators McCum-
ber, Colt, McNary, and Nelson-are
now definitely announced in opposi-
tion to the Johnson amendment. With
these six Senators aligned with the
Administration Democrats, the vote
would be AZ in favor of the amend
ment and 49 against it.
Senators Dillingham; and Page of
Vermont voted for the amendments.
