After some man9uvring the Patrol
warped in close to the Leviathan and
Patrolman Edward Beban, on the bridge
OF the small boat. began wigwagging
two messages to Gen. Pershing, who,
by the way. was nowhere to be seen.
Message wigwagged to PerahinE.
The first wigwagged message was
from Rodman Wanamaker, chairman of
the Mayors committee, and 1t read:
Gods own country welcomes you
home, dear General, with hearts filled
with the greatest affection"
For his chief, John #. Sinnott, the
Mayors secretary. sent the foilowing:
The citizens of New York thank God
for your safe return, and as the Mayor
or the city wish to extend to you the
congratulations of a grateful people"
a hoarse roar of welcome was going
up from the Staten Island and the Bay
Ridge shores. Whistles, bells and voices
contributed to the bowling medley ard
enthusiastic Missourians on board the
Zephyr were wildly waving placards ON
which were printed dozen inscriptions,
such as: :
'Pershing's home State. Joplin well
comes you" ,-.
"sedalia and Kansas City welcome
you"
Jefferson City and Richmond vel.
come you"
The Battery seemed to be a solid mass
OF humanity yelling and struggling for
places of vantage. ..
Just as the Leviathan poked her hieh
nose UP the North River Gen. Pershina
appeared upon the navigator's bridge
Some one aboard the Patrol lifted a
megaphone and called for three cheers
The crowds on the boats gave the re-
CURED three cheers and then decided to
keep 1t up. The shore crowds caught the
faint sound and they set up an echo.
Gen. Pershing took off his cap, unslung
pair of field glasses and took a pam
oramic survey of the harbor and shore.

GENERAL GETS A NOISY
GREETING IN THE BA Y
Thousands on Boats Give Whole Hearted Welcome to
Pershing-Secretary Baker and Gen. March Head
Parties of Military and Civilian Notables.

The destroyer Blakely, which went to
meet Gen. Pershing yesterday morning,
carried Secretary Of War Baker and
Mrs. Baker. Gen. Peyton Q. March.
Chief of Staff of the Army; the Congress
committee and other distinguished per-
sonages, military and civilian. Most of
the party were on the deck of the fore
castle when the Leviathan first appeared
"a mountainous outline through the
morning fog. --.- r---
The huge transport was making fair
time, but appeared to be standing still.
In fact, there was discussion after the
first EXPLANATIONS of discovery whether
the object actually was the Leviathan.
But the blowing OF horns, high tenor
and deep bass, the general hubbub that
no mist or fog could drown. made 1t evil
dent that the Commander-in-Chi Of the
American Expeditionary Forces was at
hand. And the unanimous impression
was the conQueror comes"
The Blakely. which left her moor!gns
at 6:43 o'clock. was late comparatively
to reach the scene. and sighted the
Leviathan only after she had arrived
of Governors Island. Cutting through
the water the sleek vessel leaped past
an excursion boat with a party from
the War Camp Community Service. soon
afterward 1t passed the Collector of the
Port. bearing q committee of Ell1s,
headed by Murray Hubert. Dock Com
missioner.
And as the Leviathan slowed up at
Governor Island the destroyer swept
past her Then the Blakely swung
around behind the Patrol and Correction
and turned back toward Hobokea In
the wake of the giant. Two or mo- @
destroyers of similar build were on the
water at the same time.

For Ave days during the voyage of the
Leviathan the ocean went absolutely
Bolshevik and bounced the great liner
about as II she were an ordinary tramp
steamer instead of the largest vessel in
the world.
Possibly the Atlantic was angry be-
cause the great ship was making her last
voyage as a transport after having car
ried 1s4.263 officers and men of the A
z. F. In safety Possibly II was because
the ocean desired to show Gen. Pershing
the works.; but for whatever reason,
on the word of every one Of the 3.204
men Of the Third Army composite Regi-
ment, the Atlantic certainly treated the

A man with moving picture machine
was sighted atop an airplane In tho
course OF the trip and at one time, when
they flying machine dipped SO low over
the deck OF the Blakely that a collision
looked imminent, those on deck ga sped.
But 1t was discovered the operation only
was getting ''closo up" of the Sec
rotary Of War and his party.
The destroyer dooked at Pier l.. Ho-

the Leviathan's pier in automobiles.

Escape Thwarted

The confession of convict at the
Missouri penitentiary Monday has
frustrated the plans of five of the
inmates serving life sentences in
that institution and the authorities
are now looking for the wife of J. j.

strumental in smuggling into the
prison two automatic pistols and a
box of shells. The attempt at es-
cape was to have been made Tues

plot followed tip" from a convict.
John Webster, serving IS wears for
burglary and larceny, from Kansas,
City. Webster was detected Saturday.,
in violation of the prison rules. in
buying a pair of shoes at the prison
factory without authority.
When questioned concerning the
deal, he told the guards he wanted
to tell real story" to the warden.
1t was then that he unfolded the
plot about the convicts having the
guns.
Startling talked freely to Warden
Gilvin of how he and johnson had
planned to cut their way through
an air shaft running into their cell.
Once out OF their cell, they had
planned to overpower the guard in
the dollhouse and then release their
accomplices from their cells with a
set of duplicate keys. Starting said
they had planned to make their way
to the light plant and cut the wires
running into the prison yard and a.
long the walls. With the prison
thrown into darkness they would
have had little trouble in scaling the
walls.
Shead. one of the men in the plot,
escaped in 1917 and was returned a
year later from California, where he
had been arrested for bank robbery.

Another Train Tragedy

rescue of MILFORD Taneford. arrested

with the murder of Emil LIGHT, the
Quincy pawnbroker. an account of
which was given in the Democrat

brought to Quincy by Sheriff Sim
mons and Detective Robert Buns
ter on Burlington train No. Sc
Saturday night one man was killed
outright and three others seriously
injured
The train was nearing Clarence.
in Shelby county, when two men
confronted Detective Bumster who
sat beside the prisoner, one Of them
pressing a pistol TO his head and
demanding that he release his
prisoner. The detective made a
move for his gun and was promptly
shot in the head. This attracted
the attention of the sheriff who was
sitting across the isle and he i'm
mediately shot the assailant of the
detective. At this time another
member of the rescue party shot
the sheriff twice. During the con-
fusion the prisoner ran to the rear
platform of the coach, kicked the
glass from the door and escaped.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
was handcuffed no trace of him
has as yet been found.
Frank Vack, an actor, was kill
ed outright. 1t seems he was in
the smoker at the time of the shoot
ing and was getting up to 60 to the
chair car where his wife was. Un-
doubtedly his actions were miscon-
strued by the despeadoes, one of
whom promptly shot him.

improvements

The difference between bright,
cheerful looking town, and a dis
couraged. seedy appearing one, is
largely house paint. A town may
be built of expensive houses and
business structures. But if the
paint becomes worn and dirty. the
town has an air of decayed and has
been elegance. Where buildings
are kept painted, the town looks
like place where confidence and
enterprise exist.
Of course many people feel that
the cost of labor and materials for
painting is so high that they can't
afford it. But many good authori-
ties say that prices of all kinds haYe
moved permanently to a higher
level including of course painting
materials and labor. The man who
postpones needed painting job on
the hope of getting a lower price, is
likely to wait some time. And
while he is waiting, he is encourag-
ing his neiehbors and the communi.
ty to give a constant impression Of
shabbiness and dilapidation. Also
bui ldings deteriorate fast when
worn paint fails to give protection
from weather
A good many people, in these
d avs of Daylight Saving, will find
time to paint their own buildings
T hey may handle the brush awk.
wardly, but they will find the i'm.
pr ovement of their property an
mple compensation for their effort.
1t is poor economy to use cheap
pal nts. These soon show wear, and
the owner is tempted to allow his
b uildings to become chemically
habby. Any painter will say that
u nadulterated leads and oils are
cheapest in the long run.
People who contemplate painting
should give thought to questions of
color and taste. Too vivid colors
give building a loud and bold ap-
p earance that is not homelike for a
d dwelling nor dignified for a bust
ness building But when well select.
ed colors have been applied, the
building looks enough better to a
purchaser to secure an additional
price twice the cost of the painting.
