forced down but managed TO make good
landings.
Lieut.. Worthington, the solitary oc-
cupant Of the little SE-5 scout plane
which reached Mineols yesterday. had
probably the hardest battle of all who
arrived At Salt Lake City his gloves
were lost or stolen, and he drove alone
$4,000 feet high over the Rockies with
bare hands His motor went wrong on
the eastward trip but he contrived to
limp In yesterday. Lieut.. Worthington
was the roommate of Lieut. E. V. Wales
who met death when he drove his plane
into a mountain side during a heavy
snowstorm. He gave all credit to Lieut.
Maynard yesterday afternoon at the
American Flying Club, as he said the
eastbound fiiers had the advantage Of
favoring winds which the flying parson
had to buck, but he was very eager to
get another motor into his little bus"
TO try conclusions again on the home
ward trip.
Word reached New York yesterday
that Lieut. Maynard announced plan
to try for transcontinental record in
November with machine built par
ticularly for speed. He hopes to fly
from the Atlantic to the Pacific in two
days.
Lieutenant ]. b. Wright and Sergeant
V. Coleman, west-bound aviators In the
trans-continental race, lost their way at
Z 40 o'clock last night and narrowly es-
capped death when they landed at farm
house near Sterling. Colo. striking tele-
phone wires and grazing a fence. Their
plane was damaged but they escaped In
jury. They will resume the flight to-
morrow,

NATIONALISTS WIN
OLD TURK CAPITAL
Adrianople Also Reported to
Houe Joined Broussa.

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-The adhesion of two
more large Turkish cities. Broussa, the
ancient capital of the Turkish Sultans,
and Adrianople to the Nationalist move
ment Is reported here in dispatches from
Constantinople. This marks the latest
stage In the eastward advance of the
Turkish rebels and brings the counter
revolution into European turkey.
Broussa is only fifty-seven miles from
Constantinople.
This event may bring about the i'm
mediate signing of a truce between the
Sultan's Government and Mustaph
Kemars insurgents. Opinion is Peace
Conference circles here is that with
Kemal's troops quartered in Broussa
and Adrianople, not far from Constan-
tinople. there is really nothing else for
the Sultan to do but to reach an accord
with the Young Turks for the forma-
ton of a coalition government.
Critics of the Peace Conference blame
the Allies policy in the Levant for
the return of the Young Turks and the
Germanophile group to power.
The movement for the establishment
of a Nationalist Turkish Government,
started by Mustapha Renal Pasha at
Erzerurn. IN northeastern ASIA minor,
continues to spread with enormous
strides. Mustapha Renal. after ne had
extended his influence southwark
through Asia Minor and captured Ko-
nieh. felt himself strong enough to issue
an ultimatum to the Turkish Cabinet to
resign. which brought about the fall of
the existing Ministry. Although the au-
thorities in Constantinople succeeded in
forming a new Cabinet, this Government
seems unable to check the spread OF the
movement. which has now swept along
the railroad from Konieh as far as
Broussa, one of the most important
towns in Asia Minor, with a populat ton
o<HSout 10000. The town is easily
ACCESSIBLE from Constantinople and DOM
mates the communications Of the Turk
| ish capital with the greater part OF Asia
Minor.
II the appeal of Mustapha Renal to
send delegates to Nationalist Congress
which is to set up a new Government
| for Turkey free from the supervision
and control of the Powers, has also been
| heard at Adrianople and that great
| fortress town has decided to disown the
| Constantinople administration. the lat
ter apparently still controls only a very
limited part of the old Turkish Empire
Immediately around .Constantinople and
the Bosphorus.

another that Thomas r. Marshall, in be-
half OF his property interest In the ONCE
OF President, should have himself sworn
In as acting President, which would open
the way to a judicial determination OF
the matter.
Obviously neither OF these proceedings
Is considered at all within the possible

resolution provide for some proper IN
quiry to determine the facts as to the

be found necessary should recommend

power to the Vice-President.
While the Foreign Relations Commit
tee incident forced much more frank
and impersonal discussion OF the crisis
the Government confronts, II has not
bought specific course OF procedure any
closer. 1t is realized that no public
action Is likely to be taken until sit
uation arises in which absolutely no pos
sible partisan inspiration could be Inn
puted. For one thing. II action becomes
necessary It is agreed that 1t shall be
initiated by a Democrat or some agency
of the Administrators party rather
than by anyboty of the opposition.
Senators Hitchcock (Neb), acting
Democratic leader, and Senator Swan
son (Va.), his first lieutenant held a
long conference to-day. the purposes OF
which were not disclosed, but which was
supposed to relate to the developments
in the treaty and legislative situation
due to the Presidents illness.
Treaty Opponents to Confer.
Senator johnson (Cal) will return to
Washington tomorrow night from his
Western speaking trip and as soon as

lutte rejection OF the treaty with or with

and after taking account OF stock de-

Meanwhile at the White House to-day
| the suggested specific statement as to
| the Presidents malady was withheld IL
ever 1t had been considered at all by tho
| little group having the Presidents physi-
| cal welfare In charge. 1t was said that

scented at the White House. Just why

But the corps of specialists charged
