snowstorms. While a few planes
were put out of the race yesterday,
there were no fatalities rs on the
first day. when three flyers lost
their lives through accident.
Both the leaders in the contest
to-day were facing possible disquali-
fication. A rule of the race speci-
fies that there shall be no flying

tenant Maynard made Cheyenne at
6.25 p. M, mountain time, last even
ing, twenty-five minutes after the
sun had gone down, and Captain
Smith reached Omaha fifty-five min
utes later. No action that might
eliminate them was reported over
night. however.
Maynard, plotting machine No. 81,
left Chicago at 7.09 a. m. Central
time, and flew $50 miles to-day, rs
miles more than he covered yester-
day in sailing from New York to
Chicago. But his time, chiefly due
to adverse weather conditions, which
in one form or another extended al
most from coast to coast, was slow
er. He landed at Cheyenne at 6.25
p. m. Mountain time, having covered
a total distance of 1896 miles in two
days.
Captain Smith, after struggling
through three mountain snowstorms,
and over three mountain ranges,
reached Omaha at 7.20 o'clock last
night, having made 852 miles yes
terday without accident. His total
distance since the start at San Fran
cisco is 1,460.
The remarkable flights of May
nard and Smith for two days have
made the transcontinental race a
record event in this country. May

Eight Who Spend Night at
Cleveland Get Off Today
By Associated Press.

Cleveland, Oct. 10. - Weather
conditions early to-day were fav-
orable for flying, and the eight avi-
ators who remained here last night
planned to continue their trip at sun
rise to-day for Bryan, Ohio, the fifth
leg of the transcontinental air race
from Mineola, N. Y. to San Fran
cisco. At 6 a. m. the sky was clear,
warmer and light winds. A score of
machines from the east expected to
reach here to-day.
Lieut.. Col. T. S. Bowen, machine

again-oppressed by the sense OF
something mysterious just around
the corner.
We'll come to that soon," he re-
piled. But first. there's Pat to deal
with. What do you want me to

to have the furniture sent and stored
until she could find use for 1t.
| A Former Employe
| Miss Haines was at one time an
employe of the Dives, Pomeroy &
Stewart store, having served in the
hosiery department. She left the
store some months ago, it was said
at the store to-day, but employees
were loath to give the reasons for
which she severed her connection.
Methods employed by Miss Haines
in attempting to get the household
goods, are believed by police to have
been inspired by reading a sensa-
tional criminal story now running in
several New York Sunday newspap-
ers. Her knowledge of the credit sys-
tenn of the two stores is also thought
to have been brought into use to
some extent, in aiding her to map out
her method of procedure.
! Used Mrs. Payne's Name
On Wednesday, she called both
stores in the name of Mrs. Payne
and ordered big quantities of goods.
At the Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart
store, the value of the goods or
dered was between $1,000 and 1900
while at the Bowman store she had
ordered approximately $500 worth of
materials. In both instances, she
had asked that the goods be gotten
ready to be delivered to a truck
driver who would call for them.
At the Dives, Pomeroy e. Stewart
store, employees at once became sus-
picious on receipt of the order. 1t
was thought to be quite peculiar that
Mrs. Payne should order such q
quantity of household goods, espe-
cially without seeing the goods, and
that she had promised to send
around a truck for the goods. Or
dinarily, goods ordered in this man.
ner is delivered by the stores truck.
Employees Suspicious
Employees of the store who re-
ceived the order, held Miss Haines
off for more than a day, without
promising to deliver the goods. The
matter would have to be taken up
with the store credit men, they said
In the meantime, 1t had been learned
from Mrs. Payne that she had placed
no such order for goods.
Bowman & Company employees also
became suspicious at the unusual
order. Headwork on the part OF
salesgirls, Mrs. Florence Davis, Miss
May Rice and Miss Minerva Starry
together with that of the telephone
operator, Miss Anna Mccoy, aided
in preventing the attempted robbery
The first order was received on
Wednesday and yesterday there was
received cancellation of part of thi,
first order and the placing of a re-
quest for some substitute goods.
The first intimation that some
thing was wrong came to the Bow
man authorities at the lunch houi
yesterday noon. Several of tho
salesgirls were. discussing the morn
ing's sales, and the $500 one reused
the suspicious OF one or two. whe

Four Held at Bryan
