ments, Expected Latter
Part of Week, Will Be All
Important in Senate This

Final Action on Berger
Custer Measure
TRepubllean A. p. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON. oct. 12.-Imminence
or another test of strength in the senate
controversy over the German peace
treaty overtops in interest and import
ance all matters likely to come before
congress this week. Leaders regard a
vote on Shantung amendments to the
peace pact late this week as assured
and hope all other amendments can be
disposed Of within ten days.
Debate on Shantung amendments will
be continued tomorrow by Senator
Lodge. chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee and author of the
amendments. Reading of the treaty
text will be continued and by Wednes-
day. It is hoped to proceed to vote on
the Shantuig question.
To Expedite Work
To expedite treaty consideration, re-
publican and democratic leaders are
negotiating for an agreement for an
earlier convening hour. and also for un-
interrupted consideration of the docu-
ment. II is aimed TO inaugurate this
new speeding up program Wednes-
day
The house will consider comparative
ly minor measures this week includ-
ing disposition of the bill for vocational
education of persons injured in indus
trial pursuits and to establish federal
budget system. Final action on the
custer proceedings against Represen-
tative Victor Berger, Wisconsin, social -

Gratis still are declared by party leaders
to be solidly against the republican
reservation program, while continued
progress toward complete agreement of
the republicans on the reservations is
reported.
Action is planned this week on the
resolution of Senator King. democrat of
Utah proposing a senate declaration in
favor of awarding Western Thrace TO

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Officia1s of
the American Flying club, which is as
sIsting the army air service in the con-
duct of the transcontinental air derby
tonight said that there was possibility of
a protested decision should they give
Major Carl Spatz place in elapsed time
on the first leg of the contest. Lieut..
B. w. Maynard is the undisputed win
ner of the first half of the race.
Friends of Lieut.. Emil Kiel, who
landed at Roosevelt field, eastern ter
minus, yesterday 20 seconds ahead of
Major Spatz, who had first alighted at
Hazelhurst field by mistake, were ex
pected to make protest on the ground
that he granted Major Spatz a. five
minute handicap at Binghampton, the
last control, although this was not au
thorized by the commanding officer at
Binghamton.
Lieutenant Compromises
When the signal was given at Bing-
hamton for the start of the last Jump"
to Mineola, Major Spatz, who was not
ready, is said to have requested Lieu
tenant Kiel to wait ten minutes for him.
According to the lieutenant, com
promise of five minutes was effected,
although it was up to the commanding
officer at the Binghamton control to
determine the time for starting"
This unauthorized" handicap, ac-
coding to flying club officials, would
be sufficient to offset the combined
start of three minutes and five seconds
Lieutenant Kiel had at San Francisco
and the majors 20 seconds advantage
over the lieutenant in landing at Ha
zelhurst field and give Lieutenant Kiel
the race by two minutes and Is seconds
Official figures on the race are not yet
available.
Under the rules Sunday flying is
omitted, so both east and west bound
aviators ersted today.
The return flight will be undertaken
| according to the same rules and regula-
tions which governed the first half, the
war department telegraphed the Amer
| lean Flying club today.
Contestants who have completed the
| first half of the round trip will remain
at the terminus control not less than as
hours nor more than 90 hours. In case
contestants cannot depart at the end OF
| 96 hours in time to make the first stor
before sunset, he may be held until
morning.
Officers Are Responsible
The air service officers are to be held
responsible for adequate supplies al
| each control. Split seconds will not be
used in reporting arrivals and depart
ures. No new contestants will be per-
mitted
The last two flyers to make the start
from Mineola expect to take off in the
morning. They are Lieutenant Alex
ander NJ. Roberts and Lieutenant
George c. Mcdonald driving numbers
"a and 35 respectively, both dH
planes.
Capt. Lowell Smith, who is at Roch
ester, is expected to reach Mineola to
morrow morning.

INTERESTED IN PARKER BILL.
Consumers League Asks for List Of
New House Committeeman.

The National Consumers League.
through it's secretary, Miss Florence
Kelly of New York. has asked Repre-
sentative William S. Greene of Massa
chusetts, chairman of the republican
conference of the House, to submit to
the league the list of names of mem
bers whose appointment to the House
interstate commerce committee is be-
lieved to be under consideration.

the Sims bill. providing for the regu-
lation of the packing industry. In the
opinion of the league, according to the
letter of request made to Representa-

submitted to both congressional COM
mittees indicates that the power of
the packers is organized. and that in
times past this power has been ap-
piled in efforts to influence 1egisia-
ton
For this reason, it is stated, the
league wishes to see the lists of pos
sible new members of the House in

Electrically Controlled Gun.

In the radio section practical
demonstrations of the wireless tele-
graph and telephone were made with
connections with both instruments
with several points overseas as we'll
as with points along the Atlantic aud
Pacific coasts. One of the interest
ing exhibits was the electrically con
trolled rapid-fire gun adopted by the
Army and Navy air service a practical /
and improved instrument over the me-
chanical or hydraulically operated
rapid fire gun. The firing of the
gun dischsrginC fifteen shots
second, is controlled by electric cur
rent, fired either by a switch by hand
or by n switch in the mouth of tho air
man when his hands are engaged This
gun was fired at top speed at a four
foot disk painted white. across which
there was a five-inch board to repre-
sent the propeller OF the flying ma
chine, the background of the disk re-
volving at highest speed, representing
space The firing of the gun is syn
chronized with the movement of the
propeller passing in front of the nuz-
zIe of the gun, moved a any angle thus
permitting the ShoteS TO pass through
the blades of the propeller. In twenty
five or more tests with this instru-
ment every bullet fired by the cleo
tricaIly controlled gun was placed in
one space of less than the size of a sill
yer dollar The work of this gun ex
cited general wonder.
An apparatus or instrument. cleo
tricaIly operated, that attracted much
attention, and which DR.. Rosa said
was Invaluable. was for determining
accurately and almost instantly the
position of the guns of an enemy
that were located at long distances
