VINITA, Okla, Sept. 8.-Lieutenant
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt had narrow
escapes in two airplane accidents to-
day. The first occurred at Joplin, Mo,
where he started on a flight to vinita,
and the other happened here. In each
instance the airplane was wrecked.
At Joplin Colonel Roosevelt had en-
tered the front seat of the plane,
Curtiss Oriole, in which Bert Chandler,
candidate for Congress from the LIST
Oklahoma District. also was sitting.
Paul Meng, the pilot, gave the pro-
peller blade twist. The throttle was
too high and the big machine tore
wildly down the field. Colonel Roose-
landed free of the rudders
The plane struck high ground and
upended, -burying its nose in the
ground. Chandler was severely shaken
up and bruised, but not severely in
jured. The pilot had made flying
leap for the ear fuselage and was
hanging on with his hands, attempt
ing to pull himself into the machine,
when it turned turt.,.
Colonel Roosevelt was calm and
smilinc over the incident. A few
minutes later he and Chandler en-
tered big Bristol plane from Tulsa
and flew for Vinita, where Raymond
Robins preceded him this morning.
At Vinita, the plane carrying Roose-
welt crashed into fence and tree
at the fair grounds. None Of the
four passengers in the plane was in
jured.

staSm. The pilot, unable to see the
earth or dodge out of a cloud bank, was
compelled to fly amlessly about until
the storm subsided. Twice the engine

Doctors Can't Prescribe
Whisky for Themselves

WASHINGTON, Sept. g.
Physicians are forbidden to pre-
scribe whisky for themselves,
even though they are sick, under
a new ruling Of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. Instructions to
this effect were sent to prohibi-
tion directors to-day.
Druggists are told to refuse to
fill such prescriptions. So if a
doctor feels the need of a bracer
he will have to rely on a brother
practitioner to prescribe for him,
or use part of the six quarts a
year he may have in his office to
administer to patients.

May Free MacSwiney


Copyright, 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Sept. 8.-Rumors again
came from Downing Street this evening
that Premier Lloyd George intended to
release Terence MacSwiney, Lord May
or of Cork, who is on hunger strike in
Brixton prison. There was no official
indication. however, of change in the
governments policy. This was the
/ Mayors twenty-seventh day Of fasting.
Even if the prisoner should be re-
leased at the eleventh hour and re-
moved to a hospital it is considered
doubtful whether he would recover. His
condition became worse this afternoon,
and 1T was said by a member of his
family that he was very near death.
He is in constant pain, with spells Of
glddiness, and, though unable to talk,
is conscious.
Sir Hamar Greenwood and Sir Nevil
Macready prepared a memorandum on
| ireland which the Premier considered
this afternoon.
Guarantees Demanded by Premier
LONDON, Sept. (By The Associated
Press).-An inspired statement issued
to-day indicates that Premier Lloyd
George is willing to accept guarantees
from Sim Fein headquarters that DO
lice murders will cease, and that he
does not require a personal guaranty
from Lord Mayor MacSwiney.
If such guaranty is forthcoming,
It is SCI forth in the statement, Mac
@winey and the hunger strikers in
, Cork Jail would be released and held
as virtual hostages, and if the muir
/ ders were resumed they would again be
sent to Jail, thus in effect reverting to
what was called the "cat and mouse
policy adopted in the case of the suf-
fragette hunger strikers.
1t is an interesting question whether
the Sinn Feiners are prepared to give
such an assurance as to satisfy this re-
Guircment. Up to the present they
lease.
Mrs. MacSwiney, on leaving Brix-
ton prison this evening after visit
ing her husband, said that twice this
afternoon the attending physician had
warned her not to speak to her hus-
band, as he was diving on his vital
ity." She added that the Mayor suf-
fered from giddiness this afternoon.
Friends of the Lord Mayor, his wife
! said, were much encouraged at the
presence in England of Premier Lloyd
ISOTEe, VINO returned yesterday from
Lucerne, and hoped that something
might ensue favoring the Irish pris-
oner.
MacSwney was a little brighter this
morning, but much weaker and more
exhausted. He passed fairly good
night.
A bulletin issued by the Irish Self
Determination League at noon regard
ing the Mayors condition said:
Prisoner Forbidden to Talk
"The Lord Mayor suddenly got much
weaker. The doctors arc very anxious
and have forbidden his relatives to
/ converse with him."

appeal from John Howard Whitehouse
