On Trial Today
For Killing Man
Alleged Omaha Bandit to Face
Court Charged With MUIR
der Of Michigan Sheriff
Pals Convicted.

Jackson, Mich, Oct. 20.-(Spe-
cial.)-David Gilinsky, third to face
the court of the gang of bandits who
held up and robbed the Grass Lake
bank July 20, and murdered Under
Sheriff Harry Worden in the battle
with the officers, which followed at
Mack Island, will be tried in the cir
cult court before Judge James A.
Parkinson on the charge of murder
in the first degree. The trial will be-
gin Thursday morning. Trial on the
robbery charge will follow immed-

Walter Wilson, second of Gilins-
ky's pals to be tried, was convicted
by a jury on the murder charge
Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning entered plea Of guilty to
the robbery charge after a jury had
been empaneled to try him, and his
attorneys had left him, at his own
request, to defend himself. He was
sentenced by Judge Benjamin Will
liams to life term on each
of the two charges, being the second
of the gang to receive this sentence.
The first woman juror ever serving
in Jackson county sat in the second
case against this defendant.
Immediately after the sentencing
of Wilson, Gilinsky was brought in
to court, and the clerk informed
Judge Parkinson that there we're but
u names left in the jury box. After
conference between Prosecute:
Hatch, Special Prosecutor Cobb, and
Attorney J. ]. Noon, for the defend.
ant, it was agreed that the work Of
the jury be deferred until

port was denied by Attorney Noon.

defendant.

bullet into the body of the slain
under-sheriff. The line of defense
to be taken in the case has not yet
been indicated.

Army Airplanes

To-Mineola Trip
Ayiators Given Warm Re.

Mile Journey to Nome
And Return.

Mineola, N. Y, Oct. 20-Escorted
from New York to Mineola by an
aerial fleet, four American army air.
planes today completed a 9,0O0-mile
round trip to Alasaka, which they
started July Is.
So enthusiastic was Capt. ST. Clair
Street, squadron commander, over
the success of the aerial survey made
by his ships" that he announced to-
night his intention of recommending
to the War department that the route
blazed by the army filters from New
York to Nome be made permanent
With his seven companions on the
long flight, he will leave tomorrow
for Washington, where an official
reception has been arranged in their
honor. Later, they will submit de-
tailed reports.
The aviators told many interesting
stories of their trip.
At some landing places along the
way, game was plentiful and fresh
meat was always available. The
fliers sighted great herds of REIN
deer and caribou and often saw bear,
mountain sheep, and other game. A
school of white whale and many
seals were sighted in the Bering sea.
From the air also they saw Indians
take flight on approach of the
planes.
Captain Street said that the expe-
dion failed to get as many pictures
because of poor visibility. 1t was
necessary to fly high in bad weather,
he said, to avoid hitting mountain
peaks. A good portion of the jour
ney was made at an altitude of 5000
feet. Hundreds of miles of the terri
tory covered had not been mapped
out and the only information avail
able was trappers. Pictures which
were obtained will be turned over to
the geographic survey in Washing
ton.
The commander of the expedition
and the other pilots said the per-
formance of their machines was
nothing short of marvellous" A
minimum of mechanical trouble was
experienced, although landings were
made in wild territory where the
slightest mistake would have caused
a wreck.
The machines took 16 days on the
trip west and Is for the return, al
though the actual flying time was
much less.

Harding Will Call Conference Upon :
New Peace Plan if Elected President
International Court Of Nations Worked Out by Root
And Number Of Foreign Jurists Expected ay.sz,
To Be Central Feature. e spa So u

United States might become in
volved in European Quarrels and
claim the right of interference in the
European and Asiatic nations might
affairs of American continents.
What would be left is an associa-
tion of nations, the principal function
of which would be to create and
maintain the International court OF
justice and to promote investigation
and arbitration of international dis
putes.
Root Spokesman.
Former Senator Root. often called
the master mind of the republican
party and certainly one of the fore
most American statesmen, is the
spokesman of the group which be-
lieves that Senator Harding, if elect
ed, will move to preserve the league
of nations, after excision of those
parts of the covenant which major
ity of the senate deemed destructive
of nationalism. His great speech
last night, probably the clearest ex-
position of the faults of the covenant
from the nationalist point of view yet
made. has revived speculation on the
possibility that Mr.. Root may be
Harding's secretary of state.
Mr.. Root impressively corrobo-
rated Senator Harding's assertion
that France and England are ready
and eager to revise the covenant to
meet republican objections. Senator
Hitchcock endeavors to establish
that if Senator Harding had received
an agent of the French government
he would have violated the Logan
act forbidding an American citizen
to deal with foreign plenipotentiary
in reference to controversy involv-
ing the United States. Nobody, how
ever, has accused Senator Hitchcock
of such violation when he received
British Ambassador Grey last year
and learned from him that Great
Britain had no objection to most of
the Lodge reservations. -

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Oct. 20.--It is now the
we'll settled understanding among
republican leaders tina. Senator
Harding, if elected president. will
initiate without delay. conference
of the powers to devise a new world
peace plan of which the international
court, worked out by Elihu Root
and number of foreign jprists, will
be the central feature.
Whether this court for the pacific
settlement of justiciable information
al disputes shall function as an
adjunct to a league of nations. is
a matter upon which there is less
definite understanding in republican
ranks. Some leaders are of the
opinion that by next spring the
whole theory of a league of nations
will be a dead letter in Europe as
we'll as America.
By far the greater number OF the
men who are advising Senator
Harding believe, however, that there
will be radical revision of the
league of nations covenant and
plenipotentaries of the United States
and other great powers, and that
America will join the association of
nations, thus placed on a new basis
and ratify the Versailles treaty, as
revised.
Eliminate Article 10.
The prospective revision of the
covenant would eliminate entirely
article 10 and all other features
embodying the principle of an al
lance of the powers to perpetuate
the status of territorial settlements
made at the aPris peace conference.
In addition, it would eliminate all
provisions tending to create superior
government imparing the sovereignty
