LuelIa Anderson's Pupils
Give a Violin Recital.

Miss Luella Anderson presented
her pupils Kathryn Bavinger, Mar
garet Donahue and David Gray in
violin recital at the Blackstone ho-
tel Sunday afternoon. These three
young people were assisted by Miss
Ruth Farlow, pianist, and pupil of
Miss Sophie Nostitz-Naimska. The
little violinists are aged 8, 9, and 10
years, respectively, and they seemed
unusually small as they stood before
the audience playing their violins.
The program was opened by Miss
Ruth Farlow, who played Ecu Fol-
let" by Schutt, and who played later
four numbers from the Scenes of
Childhood" by Schumann. Kathryn
Bavinger played a Concerto in G."
by Seitz, which seemed quite a pro-
digious undertaking for so tiny a
miss. Margaret Donahue played
the Swan" by Saint Saens, and the
Golden Wedding" by Gareil Ma
rie. David Gray contributed brill
liant waltz from Faust" In addi-
ton to the solos, each little lady
played duet with David Gray, and
a trio by Dancla and the Largo"
by Handel, in which Miss Anderson
assisted her pupils, completed the
entertainment. The audience was
enthusiastic and several encores
were given.

START The possibility of accident to
Hawker's plane is considered great.
Unless he drops down gently. under
the most favorable conditions, with
a very short "run," he will smash
his propeller and wreck the little
craft at the conclusion of the flight
If the Sopwith is forced into the
sea, the flyers have little hope of
rescue. Both men are wearing
"watertight' suits, which are de-
signed to keep them floating for
many hours, but as their course is
outside the lanes of shipping the
chances of their being picked up are
virtually nil.
Limit of ESQ Miles.
HaWker's wireless set will allow
him to receive wireless messages
from ships a long distance off, and
the radio calls he will be able to in
tercept will aid his navigator great
ly in keeping on his course. But
the sending apparatus cannot trans
NIT over $50 miles, it is said, and
once beyond the transatlantic ship
ping lanes, it is doubtful whether
an S. 0. S. would be picked up by
steamer.
What was probably the last mes
sage to the Sopwith from shore was
a wireless tonight telling of a fresh
atmospheric depression developing
over ireland. It was photographed
from St. Johns, on receipt of me

Both aviators said before the
start that while they anticipated
some physical and mental strain
through the long hours in their
cramped positions, unbroken by any
prospect of being able to spell"
each other by changing seats, they
expected to find some relief. Con-
centrated rations are being carried
on the Sopwith for food. The fuel
supply was $40 gallons of gasoline.
Felt Carriage Go.
Raynham, after he had recovered
from the temporary collapse he
suffered when his craft broke down,
made this statement:
II was just beginning to get
lift. I felt the undercarriage weak
en-, and pulled back on the control
stick in an attempt to assist the
machine clear of the ground. But
the propeller struck and we spilled.
Another Is yards and we would have
been away"
Hawker had provided against such
mishap by installing an all-steel
undercarriage on the Sopwith and a
device for dropping it when well off
the ground. -s

Vienna, May 1s.-(By the Asso-
ciated PressD-Bolshevism is wan
ing, the Germans will sign the peace
treaty and delegates from the Hun
garian communist government
should be permitted to go to Paris.
Alexis Bolgar, the representative
here of the Hungarian communist
government, declared in a statement
to the Associated Press.
All we ask" he said, as for the
allies to find some solution for our
unfortunate country. When Cen
eral SHUTS was in Budapestlas rep
resentative of the peace conference)
we told him we were ready to get
out, but we would not be response
bic for disorders and bloodshed,
unless the allies occupied the city.
IF such a thing as self-govern-
ment is permitted, then the red re-,
public represents Hungary. I do
not see why the allies cannot treat
with the soviet unoficially at least.
The allies should not take seriously
the view that the new government
10 a self-constituted affair and is
made up of men unrepresentative of
Hungary.
Soviet Keeping Order.
Speaking in my official capacity,
| ask only that delegates OF the So
Wet in Budapest be requested to
come to Paris, It can be said for
the soviet that it is doing the best
it can and also is keeping order. It
is not true that there have been any
political executions by us"
Bolgar, like many others connect
ed with the Budapest soviet, is
friendly to America. He said he
felt that it was in the United States
that the most sane solutions of the
problems of poverty would be
worked out. He expressed the opin-
ion that President Wilson was not
being treated fairly by the allies nor
with proper consideration.
He said he understood that it had
been suggested in American quar-
tiers that all Hungarian parties, in
GLIDING the soviet, send representa-
tives for a meeting in Switzerland
to form new government for Hun
gary.

drone, and began preparations for

Challenge to Raynham.
Hawker followed his announced
intention when he dropped the I'M
dercarriage of his plane. Some per-
sons thought the act was intended
as a challenge to his rival, Rayn-
ham, and quoted almost the last
word of Hawker before he started
How about old 'Tinsides? Tell
Raynham I'll greet him at Brook
lands, England.
At the start the sun was only a
little over two hours beyond the
meridien. The flyers had its aid in
navigating for four or five hours as
they sped eastward. After that they
plunged into darkness over the
ocean, with the prospect of starlight
and moonlight to break the
monotony of sky and sea at night
and to serve as navigation guides.
Barring untoward events the
plane should meet the sun again
just short of mid-Atlantic and race
against its westward swing to reach
the Irish coast before darkness falls
again. Mackenzie Grieve declared
before the start that the Sopwith
would head straight for Ireland.
May Change Course.
Indications tonight were that
westerly winds would favor the fly
ers for the first 1000 miles of their
course. The remainder of the way
will be "ticklish" sailing and it is
thought possible Grieve will have to
bend" his course somewhat south
to avoid wind and weather dangers
in the last half of the flight.

motion of oil companies. The young
woman also testified that she warned
Chrisman on December Is that
Harris was framing on him.
Started at Billings.
The story started at Billings, on
November E, when Green introduced
Chrisman to Peggy as prospect;
and, according to the evidence,
Green represented that Peggy was a
daughter of Patrick Gilchrist of
Casper, Wyo., and that Gilchrist
controlled several thousand acres of
oil lands in Kentucky.
/ Peggy, on the witness stand, ad-
mitted that Harris inspired several
kilograms sent from Casper, Wyo.,
to Chrisman, and which referred to
the mythical Patrick Gilchrist."
Chrisman testified that when he
reached Barberville, Knox county,
Kentucky, he suspected that there
was a scheme. He said he was in
troduced to "Mr. Bywater," and
a "Mr. Carroll" at ,Barberville, and
he added that he stopped a payment
of $1,000 check he had deposited
before leaving Billings. The check
had been issued in anticipation of
Chrisman's investment i'll some of
the lands said to have been held by
Patrick Gilchrist. Peggy admitted
that "Patrick Gilchrist," was a fic-
ticious person.
The young woman further
claimed that when she returned to
Omaha to warn Chrisman of the al
legged scheme, Chrisman told her
that he owned 100000 shares in the
Success Refining company of Bill
lings, and that she and Chrisman
then went into business together to
freeze Harris out"
Knows Harris for Years.
Chrisman stated on the witness
stand that he had known Harris
and Green for several years and
that he believed Harris was his
friend until recent developments up
set that belief.
Notwithstanding Chrisman's sus-
picions over the situate lin Ken
lucky in November, he was led a
merry chase by 19-year-old Peggy
over a period of months. The af-
fair got into the courts when Chris
man attached Peggy's clothes and
other personal effects to satisfy an
alleged claim of $8l6.44.

night, but only for brief stay. On
his way from Versailles to Berlin

his party went through the city to

Palma, De Resta and their like and

not afraid to take chance in the
auto racing game and when the
United States got into the war Rick
enbacker wanted to get in also.
Picked Air as His Field.
He picked the air game as his
field, but the military powers over
ruled him and so he went to France
as an auto driver. He did not stay
in the ground-driving pastime very
long, however, as his persistence
won him the long sought opportu-
nifty of sitting at the wheel of an
air-going machine.
From the very beginning of his
air service Rickenbacker made good
and in time became one of the most
famous. if not the leading of the
American flyers on the western
front.
He flew. and fought as he had
driven on the auto race track. APP
parently reckless, yet he always
managed to come through alive and
generally victorious.
Many a Boche went to earth in a
fight with Eddie Rickenbacker be-
cause the latter had learned to take
a chance on the motor racing tracks
of the United States.
Handled Plane Like Racer.
To him running an airp1ane $50
miles an hour several thousand feet
in the air in France was not much
different from running racing car
half as fast around race track back
in the old United States.
Not very long ago Eddie returned
home with decorations and honors
in plenty and still Pill wrapped up in
the air game.
He said he did not believe he
would ever 60 back to the auto rae
ing game because it was too tame
after his air races with the fighting,
flying Boche, 5000 miles away.
And so it is not improbable that
Eddie Rickenbacker will be seen,
perhaps by his Omaha friends, rum
ming a mail plane carrying letters
to and fro above the earth.
1t would be the only peace job
that would not seem too prosaic to
the American ace.
Will Visit Old Track.
When Captain Rickenbacker ar
rives in Omaha this morning at 7:15
o'clock he will be met by Dick Stew
art and others. During the day he
will be taken out to this old track
where he made his start as an auto
mobile racer. Nebraska City claims
that Rickenbacker entered his first
automobile race in that city on July
4, 1908.
Captain Rickenbacker will wear
the Croix de Guerre, distinguished
Service Cross and a badge of the
Legion of Honor when he greets
his Omaha friends today. While in

for bringing down 26 Hun planes
