House Shortage and
= Mothers-In-LaW Cause
\ Wrecked, ROnances

Chicago, Sept. Mrs. Julia
Mcclure, arbitrator in the court
of domestic relations and for IS
years a student of Chicago's So
cial conditions, is authority for
the statement that mothers-in-laws
and high rents are responsible for
more wrecked romances than ever
before in the history of the city.
The shortage of flats, she declares,
has driven scores of newlywcds
to live with either the mans or the
brides mother.
"Discord breaks the harmony
of theN Nnew happiness almost i'm
mediately," said Mrs. Mcclure.
These couples are coming to
court daily in increasing numbers.
These newlyweds own nothing,
neither has anything to tie to,
and little differences are soon
magnified into consequential in
such an environment. The
mothers-in-daw refuse to allow
them to adjust their differences
once they come to court. They
place every obstacle in their way"

In connection with the inalgura-
tion of transcontinental aerial mail
service today between New York
City and San Francisco is the an
nouncement of The Bees Transcon-
tinental Aerial Mail prize of $1,000.
in which the New York Evening
Post, Chicago Tribune. the Salt

cisco paper are cooperating.
There will be three prizes Of $500,
$500 and 5000 each, which, will be
awarded to the pilots making best
total mileage at not less than 80
miles per hour on their respective
divisions between New York and
San Francisco, for the first six
months OF this coast-to-coast serv-
ice.
This contest has aroused the. in
terest Of Otto Praeger, second as
sistant postmaster general who is
in charge of the aerial mail divi-
sion. The Manufacturers Aircraft
association and the Aero club of
America are also keenly interested
in this Forthcoming competitive
aerial event. 1t will arouse an in
terest which will be more than ma
tion-wide, because other nations are
watching CLOSELY the advance being
made in the United States in the
transportation of mail through the
air. ~
Prizes to Stimulate Effort.
The Bee is pleased to be able to
stimulate public interest i'll airplane
mail service and believes that these
prize offers will promote some not
able achievements by the pilots who
will begin today to span the con-
tinent in the air mail service.
The Postoffice department and
the national organizations partlcipat-
ing in this contest are arranging to
give international publicity and this
means that Omaha, beng on the
route, will have its STARE Of the
publicity. B..
The United States airplane mail
service has been in operation since
May IS, 1918. At the start, a single
route between New York and WASH
ington was established with Curtlss
military planes. The expected dit
ficulties of wintey service were soon
overcome. During the first year OF
the service only 55 trips out of a
possible total of 1903 were aban-
doned and the mail sent by train.
OF a total of 1880 possible mile
age, 128,255 miles were flown, a per-
formance of o2.75 per cent. -.
American Planes Success.
The experiments OF the first year
encouraged the government officials
to have faith in American-built air
craft. THE American-built Liberty
and Wright-Hispano motors won
worldwide regulations by their per.
formance. There was a surplus OF
$1o,103 to the credit OF the air mail

Children Strike
At Staten Island
Russian Riddles Cared For by
Red Cross, Escape From
Reservation.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 7.-One hundred
of the 900 Russian children who are
being taken by the American Red
Cross from Siberia to their homes
in and near Petrograd, went Oil strike
today at Fort Wadsworth, Staten
Island, and, leaping over the walls Of
the reservation, escaped to the four
corners of the island. They were
all captured in the end, some of
them four miles from the reserva-
ton.
The children 'had been unruly for
the last three or four days, and re-
ports had it that agents Of the boil
sheviki had reached their ears with
pleas not to return peaceably to
France, from which country they
were expected to be sent to their
homes in western Russia.
No concerted rebellion had been
experienced until this morning,
when, at signal from one of the
older children, 100 of them declared
they were going to strike. They
scaled the fences around the reserva-
ton and started. to run in all direc-
tons.
Armed guards of the reservation
and Red Cross nurses, put out in
pursuit and most of them were
caught before they got very far.
But at least Is of them got away.
Word was sent to Stapleton police
station and reserves were sent out
posthaste. The Is were caught at
Saint George and Stapleton, where
they were attempting to board ferry
boats for Manhattan.
On the return to the fort in the
patrol wagons, the children became
almost unmanageable. They spat in
the faces of the policemen and
nurses and declared they never
would go to France. They would
not explain their actions, and were
silent on the rumor that agents OF
the reds were responsible for their
rebellion.
The Russian children arrived in
this city week ago last Friday,
after trip through the Panama
canal from San Francisco, where
they had arrived on a Japanese
steamship.

which the democratic prcsidctial

fund of $l5,00000C. The testimony
was not finished, but its prescnta-
ton caused a stormy session.
Senatorial traditions as to cour-
tesy were strained to the breaking
point on several occasions as Tepub-

Senator Spencer's disclaimer of
such a charge brought his demo-
cratic colleague, Senator Reed, to his
feet with protest against bully
raging" He said the entire Incl
dent was "disgraceful" and an
nounced that he proposed to see that
the witness was treated like a gen.

The exchange was the climax to
several similar occurrences, and not
even Chairman Kenyon's plant that
he could not keep peace in Mis-
souri," served to settle the atmos-
pherc.
Il do4't want peace. am pre-
barring for war;" pronounced Sena-

Considerable Of Mr.. Moore's late
! testimony consisted of information
CLEANED from kilograms received
from democratic state chairmen in

yon he had sent for some of this
information and that other parts oi
it had been volunteered.

ator Kenyon.
