LAWSON AIRLINER
TOCIVE NEW YORK
GOVERNOR RIDE
Sails for Buffalo Today From
Cleveland En- Route to
New York.
By EDGAR w. CROFT.
(Bee Representative Aboard Lawson Trans
continental Airliner.)

Cleveland, O., Sept. 2-(Special
Telegram.)-The giant Lawson air
ship is resting peacefully in the
hangar of the Glenn L. Martin aero
plane factory at Cleveland. The
manager of the plant and the em
ployes are loud in their praises of
the big Lawson airliner. Lawrence
D. Bell, manager of the plant, stated
yesterday that he could frd no flaw
in its construction. Scores of per-
sons have written their names on
the wings of the ship and the gen.
eral interest in the big albatross is
great
We sail for Buffalo at 10 a. m.
Wednesday and it is expected that
we will pick up the governor of New
York and carry him as passenger
to New York City.
Engineer Buranelli went over the
motors thoroughly and the ship will
be thoroughly groomed before leav-
ing for Buffalo. We will follow the
shore of Lake Erie and expect to
fly high. Our altinfeter registered
1000 feet on our way to Cleveland,
which speaks we'll of the climbing
powers of the giant plane We ex-
pect a large crowd on the field to
see US take off. We will have II
passengers aboard. Two MARITIME
planes will leave the hangar as soon
as our plane pulls out.
1t was a most remarkable trip we
just completed. The sky above US
was bright and clear and only a few
clouds appeared on the eastern hori-
zon. 1t was an ideal day and thou
sands of Toldeoans had taken ad-
vantage of the holiday and rushed
out to the landing field to see us off
for Cleveland.
We made a perfect start at 4:37
p. m. and Immediately climbed to
a height of about 5000 feet. At Cos
we sighted Cleveland and soon
afterwards spotted the marked land
ing place.
1t was wonderful sight, as the
setting sun shone on the Ohio me-
tropols and on Lake Erie. The
lake and the river looked like pure
silver and the glass roofs of Cleve-
lands sky scrapers shone like dia-
monds.
News dispatches from Toledo had
heralded our flight and as the
wheels of the plane touched the
ground at the landing field, we were
greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of
many thousands.

"POLITE BURGLAR"
is UNDER ARREST,
POLICE ALLEGE
Refuse to Divulge Name of
Woman Who, Officers Say,
Has Identified Suspect.

The police think they have cap
tured the gentleman burglar" Will
liam H. Douglas, 2022 St. Mary's
avenue, is accused by Detectives
Paul Sutton, Felix Dolan, Pete Hag-
erman and Officers Sinclair and
Warner of being the man who gain
ed prominence recently by plunder-
ing homes while conversing casually
with members of. the family.
The gentleman burglar" has en-
tered several Omaha homes during
the last few weeks. In each case
his work was marked by his gen.
tlemanly manner. In each case, too,
he cut the telephone wires leading
from the home. His conversations
with members of the household dur
ing his visit were always quieting
to his victims. He calmly assured
them that they had nothing to fear
from him and often showed pass
ing interest in trifles about the
house. He always went masked,
but each of his victims noticed he
"kad a long nose"
Three of the arresting officers,
Dolan, Hagerman and Sinclair, claim
that Douglass has been positively
identified by a woman victim as
the gentleman burglar, but none OF
the three will tell the name of the
woman. Paul Sutton says he knows
nothing of the case and has no in
formation to file with his super
ior officers regarding the arrest.
Captain Anton Vanous, in charge at
central station when Douglas was
arrested, said he did not know Doug
las was supposed to be the gen
tleman burglar until IS minutes at
ter Douglas had been committed to
a cell.
A Cap, said by the arresting Off
GERS to have been used by Douglas
on his "jobs," was held as evidence.
Douglas denies that he is the "gen-
tleman burglar"

Frelinghuysen Under
Harsh Criticism for
Attack on Palmer

Washington, Sept. 2. - Sharp
criticism in the senate Tuesday by
Senator Frelinghuysen, republican,
New Jersey, of Attorney General
Palmer drew defense of Mr.. Pal
mer from Senators Underwood.
Alabama, and Williams, Mississippi,
democrats.
The New Jersey senator assailed
Mr.. Palmer's administration of the
alien property custodian's office and
flatly charged him with having pro-
German sympathies before the en-
trance of this country into the war,
declared he had received German
agents in his own house" Mr.. FIRE.
linghuysen also asserted that Mr..
Palmer was the intermediary" with
President Wilson for German inter-
ests seeking to condone the Lusi-
tania incident.
There is no question of Mr.. Pal
mer's loyalty, Senator Underwood
declared, adding that charges against
him emanated from German inter-
ests opposing disposition of German
property seized.
Senator Williams asserted charges
against Mr.. Palmer were outrage
Gus" and ridiculous" He also as
serted the charges originated with
German interests seeking to dis
credit him.
Senator Williams retorts were so
caustic that Senator Frelinghuysen
interrupted to invoke the senate
rules against the senator impugning
another's motives, but Senator Will
liams replied that he thought the
New Jersey senator had become in
volved in the attack upon Mr.. Pal
mer quite unwittingly" after it had
been begun by German interests.
