FLYING PARs0N' AIR VICTOR
Kiel 20 Seconds Ahead of Major, but
Loses Cross Nation Race.

New York.-Lieutenant B. w. May
nard, the flying parson," won the first
coast-to-coast leg Of the army air race.
it was announced Saturday night by
officials of the American Flying club,
which assisted the army in the con-
duct of the race.
His actual flying time for the 2701
miles from Mineola, N. Y, to San
Francisco, had not been officially
checked, but "a hours So minutes and
55k seconds, was unofficially reported
as the flight time.
While Lieutenant Emil Kiel touched
the ground at Roosevelt field 20 Sec
onds before Major Carl Spatz in the
dash from west to east Major Spatz
was credited with second honors, hav-
ing left San Francisco three minutes
behind Lieutenant Kiel.
Lieutenant Maynard's total elapsed
time was given unofficially at 70
hours AZ minutes; Major Spatz' as 80
hours and 40 minutes, and Lieutenant
Kiel's as 80 hours and AZ minutes.
Only the unofficial elapsed time
could be given and the results of the
two other divisions of the race-actual
flying time and handicap time-must
await the receipt here of all official
reports, it was stated by club officials
Despite announcement from the
army air service at Washington that
the return trips of the planes would
be started on October 20, it was init
mated at the American Flying club
that the race might not be continued
and that should it be, the route might
be laid out in easy stages through the
south in an effort to avoid the severe
weather encountered in the west.
Asked by Colonel Miller if he could
make the return trip in the same
plane, Major Spatz said he could, but
that he would not want to try it. He
said that while the engine was in per
feet condition, he feared the plane it
self had been put to too great a strain
Asserting that all the flying fields
were good except that at Rawlins
Wyo, which was too small, with g
mountain jutting up at one end, Ma
jor Spatz declared that if single mo
tored planes were to be used CONNER
cially for transcontinental work, land
ing fields should be built at 200-mile
| intervals, but that if two or three
motored machines were employed the
safety" fields would not be used.

CORN CROP OVER ESTIMATE
Federal Department of Agriculture
Forecasts Bumper Yield.

Washington, D. C.-The country's
enormous corn crop has run unharm-
ed the gauntlet of dangers that faced
it during the doubtful days and nights
of September and lays into the lap of
mellow October 100000 bushels
more of ripened ears than it could
promise at the beginning of that
month";" the department Of agricul-
ture commented last week in issuing
the October crop report forecasting a
yield of 2,29O,511, 900 bushels. Prac-
tically all of the crop has, or will,
mature without frost damage, assuring
high feeding value. Husking and crib
bling has begun.
Blight, scab and black rust, to-
gether with minor ills, brought the
good early prospects for spring wheat
in the north central producing section
down until the reckoning now shows
almost 100000 bushels less than
forecast month ago, the total crop
being placed at 2O3,170,OOO bushels.
Barley showed an increase of more
than 100000 bushels, white potatoes
an increase of $4,000 bushels, buck
wheat, 100000; apples, 3,479,0OO bush
els and beans 1,327,OO0 bushels.
Reduced forecasts were given for
oats with yield lessened by 5,294,000
bushels; sweet potatoes with a de-
crease of 100000 bushels and tobacco
with $4,000 pounds.
| Crop production this year, based on
October 1 indications, was announced
by the department of agriculture as
follows:
Spring wheat, 2O3,17O,OOO; all wheat
918,471, 900; corn, 2,900,511, 900; oats
1919 1871, 900; barley, 19S, $685. 900; buck
wheat, 17,99O,OOO; white potatoes, $50,
07O,000; sweet potatoes, 99,413,000;
flax, 10,652,000; rice, 44,261,000; to-
bacco, 1,27S,O62,OOO pounds; peaches
51,327,0OO; apples (total CROP, 1856,
721,000 bushels; apples commercially
23,177,000 barrels; sugar beets, 1903,
900 tons; kafirs, 127,O53, 900 bushels

One of the greatest opportunities TO

agricultural development in the world
is in the Improvement of the ranges of
the II western states, believes E. l..
Potter, professor of animal husbandry
in the Oregon Agricultural college.
There are in these states about $50
million acres of which 20 million are
in crops, probably rs million useless
for agricultural purposes of any kind
and the rest grazing land. This land
supports one head of cattle to each Is
to 40 acres on the average.

California Senator Classes Lea
que as Sacrifice.
FOREIGN CONTROL HIT
Speaker Declares Opponents of Cove
nent Would Save America from
,Perils He Foresees.

Portland.-That American interests
and principles were jettisoned at the
Paris conference, and that the league
of nations covenant would bind the
United States to the sacrifice of blood
and treasure at the behest of Europe
and Asia, for the protection of terri
torial integrity in which this country
can have no concern, were charges
made Tuesday night by Hiram w.
Johnson, United States senator from
California, when he spoke to large
audience at the municipal auditorium.
While the assembly was in no
sense an overflow meeting, the great
hall was filled to capacity. BY the
prolonged cheering which greeted
Senator Johnson, and by the frequent
and vociferous applause which pune
tuated his assaults upon the league,
and upon the good faith of England
and Japan, it was evident that his
audience was gathered for the express
purpose of approving his attacks, and
that it represented to degree the
local forces of opposition to the cove
nant The crowd was quite as dis
tinctly against the covenant, as Presi-
dent Wilson's somewhat larger audi
ence was for it.
Declaring that American effort in
the great war will have "been all in
vain if affairs are turned over to a
secret conference sitting in Geneva"
to such purpose as to condemn our
posterity under foreign command to
police the world for Europe and
ASIA" the speaker aroused his audi
ence to high pitch of condemnatory
enthusiasm.
What he says is, friends" said
Senator Johnson, referring to Presi-
dent Wilson, chat your forces shall
be employed, not by you, not by con-
gress, not by the will of the Ameri-
can people, but by congress of for
eign nations sitting in Geneva. Do
you want it?"
"No!" exploded the audience, con-
tinuing the demonstration for some
minutes.
'My friends, it seems to me that
sentiment in Portland has been mis-
represented, somehow" commended
the speaker.
In opening, Senator johnson assert
ed that opponents of the league cove
nant are actuated by desire to pre-
vent that (which imperils the repub-
lic." He pictured America as stand
ing at a crossroad Of decision, one
choice the "tortuous path of European
and Asiatic diplomacy and the other
the straight and narrow path of 100
per cent Americanism." To the end
that the latter course be followed, he
pledged his answering service, dar.
ing the power of the press and other
influences to divert the attacks of the
league opponents and predicting that
in the end America would be spared
the perils he foresees.
The conflict of opinion regarding
the league of nations, said the
speaker, is based in psychological
situation of semi-hysteria created by
the war and is reflex of the strife
overseas. Believing that future peace
was the greatest gain that could come
and having been assured that the
league would perpetuate peace, he said
that the propaganda for the league
fell upon fertile soil.

court TO Define
WHA1'sLAUNDRY
Decision Of Case Under
Woman's S-Hour Law
Pivots on Question.
What is a laundry"


This question Is to be answered
by Judge Robert Harrison in the
final disposition OF a case that came
before him in Police Court yester-
day.
The proprietors of the laundry
were charged with violating the
woman's eight-hour law. Mrs. Rose
Hunter, in charge Of an office
branch OF the laundry at 1916
Fourteenth street northwest, was
cited in the information, by Labor
Inspectors Percy TalIey, NJ. Louise
Simpson and Caroline S. Davis. Mrs.
Hunter lives, with her child. in
apartments in rear of the branch
Office. She was charged with fail
ing to keep time cards. Counsel for
the defense contended the law does
not apply to separate offices not ad-
jacent to the laundry proper.
There was much argument as to
the definition of the word "laun-
dry" and II was shown that the
only offices mentioned in the anne nd
ed bill governing the hours of fe-
male workers were telegraph and
telephone offices. 1t was conceded
by both sides that the decision
hinges upon the definition of the
word laundry" Judge Hardison
will render a decision later.
Mrs. Hunter is paid a fat salary
receiving a bonus when the business
OF her branch once exceeds a fixed
volume.
