Three Seaplanes There

Washington, March 24-Naval sea-
planes which are to attempt a flight

but the actual jumping off, place will
be much farther up the coast, possibly at
some point in Newfoundland. Whether
the machines will steer direct course
for Ireland or follow the longer route by
way of the Azores. apparently has not
yet been determined.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt said to-
day that the destroyed Barney had been
ordered to proceed to Newfoundland to
investigate the harbor facilities along
the coast, for the purpose of determining
the best base from which the planes
could put out overseas and harbors in
which landings could be made in the
event it became necessary for them to
descend during the voyage from Rock
away to the flight base.

rector of naval aviation, and Lieutenant
f. f. Stone of the coast guard, have

The aircraft will be refueled and given
a final tuning up before they actually de-

Several machines are being prepared
for the flight and two or more, very

Three planes of the NC type have
been completed and fourth is nearing
completion at the Curtis plant at Gar
den City, n. Y. Extensive tests of the
NC l have been made and 81 passengers
were carried on one of her flights.
Whether it will be possible for the
machines to carry sufficient fuel to drive
them across the ocean has not been
made known. They could re-fuel at the
Azores without difficulty and same Of
ficers believe it would be entirely DOS
sible, under favorable weather condi-
tioins, for them to replenish their gas
supply in mid d-Atlantic from a ship with
which rendezvous could be arranged
beforehand.
Detailed plans Of the flight are being
carefully safeguarded and there has been
no intimation as to whether the ma
chimes will keep together or follow diff
ferent routes. In view of the announce
ment that destroyers will be stationed
along the route to safeguard the crews
in the event of accidents, most officers
believe, however, the flying craft will
follow one course.

ANTI-NEPOTISM
. BILL SENT BACK
TO COMMITTEE
Conditions in Small Counties
OF Nebraska Make Sweep
ing Measure Too Drastic;
Propose Some Changes.
By a Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 2o.-It was a
democrat, Jacobson, of Dawson. a
member of the committee on privi-
leges and elections, who made the
motion to postpone indefinitely
House Roll No. II, Jerry Howard's
nepotism bill.
This fact was brought out today
in debate for the recommitment
OF the measure in the committee of
the whole after an Omaha morning
paper had made the declaration that
the bill had been chloroformed in
the lethal chamber by a committee
wholly republican in its makeup.
The bill finally was recommitted
on motion of Howard.
DIR. Jenison, chairman of the COM
inittee, explaining the action of the
body, said it recommended indefi-
mite postponement of the bill because
of protests from county officers i'll
the western part of the state who
said it was impossible to obtain
assistants during the past year and
they had to call in wives. daughters,
sisters, cousins, uncles and aunts to
help out during a press of work.
Made by Jacobson.
He also said there were certain
state institutions where wives of Of
icers acted as matrons, and where it
was necessary to employ relatives
of officials to keep up the work and
efficiency of the institutions.
He explained that the motion to
postpone indefinitely the bill under
consideration was made by Jacob
son, a democratic member of the
committee.
Mr.. Jacobson said not member
Of the committee was in favor Of
nepotism, but there were certain
conditions in the sparsely settled
counties of the west and in some Of
the state institutions which would
make the working of the proposed
'aw hardship.
Boost the Best Bill.
He said he took the position that
when county officers or others
would employ their whole families
and abuse the powers conferred on
them in appointing assistants the
voters could be depended upon to
act as a safety valve and rebuke this
abuse of power, as we'll as revoke it
by refusing to elect to office a can
didate so offending the public sense
Of fairness.
He said: "If I had a bill in the
house, and there were two other
bills on the same subject, and any
one OF the three were better and
fairer than my bill, | would not
kick if the committee were to kill
my bill and adopt the better of the
three bills submitted. 1t is the duty
of committee to kill the poorer
bills on the same subject and raise
the best" .
Foster of Douglas called the at
tention of the house to the fact that
he had, on the preceding day, intro
duced bill against nepotism, which
was a fairer and better bill than the
Howard bill.
A vote was taken on the motion
