First German
Plane Flown
Here Crashes
New Commercial Machine
Driven by Enemy Pilot
Smashed in Fall as Allied
Mechanics Refuse Help

The first German commercial airplane
to be flown in this country was disas-
trously wrecked in an accident at Roose-
velt Field, Long Island. on Wednesday.
The accident, carefully concealed, be-
came known as a result of the bit
ter animosity displayed toward the
German pilot by the French and British
mechanics now working at Roosevelt
Field. The accident itself probably will
end the contemplated invasion of Amer
lean aerial commerce by German air.
planes, according to the opinion ex-
pressed by aviation experts.
The machine, a Junker monoplane, is
said to be one of the most remarkably
constructed airplanes in the world
and built entirely Of metal 1t had
wings one foot thick, internally
braced. There were no external struts
or wires about the machine.
Imported by Americans
The body Of the machine was built
into luxurious cabin capable of ac-
commodating five passengers. The
cabin was lined in whipcord and beau
tifully furnished, even to the inclusion
of cigar lighters and vanity cases.
The machine was brought to this
country by way of Scandinavian ports
by John M. Larsen and Charles Kirk
ham, American aeronautical experts. 1t

letters Germany" 1t was the sight OF
Germany" that first aroused the Allied
mechanics at the field, and the arrival
of the German pilot only tended to in
crease their resentment. The machine
arrived here little more than a week
ago.
As soon as the cases were delivered
at the field the work of assembling
commenced. When the machine was
completely assembled its metal ex-
terror was painted vivid green, with
the exception of the nose, which was
painted black. The letters "F. L." were
painted in script form on the body of

into the cockpit, just ahead of the
cabin, and got the engine going with
the self-starter. After short engine
test, he TAXED out to the middle of
the field, amid the taunts Of the me-
chanics about him,

He took off perfectly and quickly
ascended to 1000 feet, circling the field
at ITO miles an hour The machine,
although designed to carry five pas
sengers and pilot, is only equipped
with 1876 Bayern Motor Werke en-
glne. This, according to aeronautic
experts, is remarkable achievement
for so low-powered an engine.
Mum then brought the machine to
perfect landing, but got stuck in the
mud. After some difficulty he sue
ceeded in extricating the machine,

MiIIerand Denies Allied Crisis:
Answers Attacks of Critics

PARIS, March 26.-Premier Millerand
replied in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day to attacks on the governments for
eign policy. made yesterday by Jean
Louis Barthou, former Premier, now
chairman of the Chamber Foreign Re-
lations Committee, and to-day by Mar
eel Cachin, Socialist member.
The Premier denied that crisis had
come in Frances relationships with her
allies in the settlement of peace.
"A crisis of alliances does not exist
he said. "There is only the natural
give and take of conversations"
With regard to the Russian Soviet
government, the Premier declared: !:
"The Allies can recognize the Russian
government only when the government
as we'll as in words" The French gov
ernment was prepared to act like the
United States, entering upon CONNER
cial and industrial relations with Rus
sia without having relations with the
Soviet government, the Premier said.
M. Millerand said the Allies would be
able to recognize the Soviet govern
ment only when the latter was recog-
nized in fact as the national govern
meat in Russia.
Concerning Turkey. the Premier as
serted that the Allies wishelfto create
Turkey which can live, such Turkey
as will not be incompatible with the
liberty of the Straits. guaranteed by
the international organization nor with
the safeguarding Of Frances economic
and financial interests in Turkey.
France, strong through its traditional
New-York tribune., 1920-03-27

prestige, was made still stronger by
the victory and would be able to ex-
ercise it's just influence, he said.
M. Millerand read a report on at
tacks against English, French and Bel
gian officers in Berlin and Bremen,
saying that Marshal Foch had pre-
sented a scheme for moral and ma
terial reparations and punishments,
with fresh guarantees.
DR.. Kapp, and later the regular
government of Germany had asked
permission to introduce troops into the
neutral Ruhr zone, the Premier de-
clared, adding: "If the Allies per-
mitted such derogation of the treaty,
what assurance could they have that
the troops would quit the zone when
order was restored? p
M. Millerand concluded with the fol-
lowing words addressed to Germany:
"You say you want to work. do not
repel the idea of economic collabora-
ton. l already see certain methods,
but there is one condition dominating
everything you give proof of
your good faith by executing the treaty
you have signed. France is magnani-
nous. but does not intend to be a
dupe."
NJ. Cachin spoke in favor of re-
sumption of economic relations with
Russia and declared it was indis-
pensable that Europe should recognize
the Soviet government.
Concerning Germany, M. Cachin
asked that the Allies let the German
situation follow its normal course, re-
quiring of Germany the maximum
reparations, but putting her in q posi-
ton to pay them.

Winitsky Found
Guilty by Jury
AS Anarchist
Secretary of Communist
Party, Indicted With 10
9th ers, Is Convicted
Under Csiminal Statute

Harry M. Winitsky, executive secre-
tary of the New York branch of the
Communist party, was found guilty Of
criminal anarchy yesterday by a jury
in Justice Weeks's part of the Supreme
Court
The charge against Winitsky was
that he was member of the Com
munlst party. His conviction, which
makes possible maximum sentence
OF ten years Imprisonment, was re-
garded as important by Alexander T.
Rorke, Assistant District Attorney
who directed the prosecution. He
pointed out that it established the
principle that persons affiliated with
parties or groups that advocate force
and violence in overthrowing the gov
ernment may be prosecuted.
The verdict in the Winitsky case. Mr..
Rorke declared, opens the way to the
prosecution of every Communist in
New York State, since the conviction
gives the Communists status in the
force and violence groups
Mr.. Rorke estimated that there were
at least 10000 Communists in the
greater city and said that, in his opin-
ION, all were violating the criminal
anarchy statutes.
Nineteen Others Indicted
There were sixty Communist head
quarters in New York City last fall
when the police raided the party of
tces and seized documents containing
lists of names of those who had signed
the Communist manifesto. Nineteen
other persons indicted with Winitsky
for subscribing to Communistic prin.
clples will be placed on trial as speed
lily as possible, Mr.. Rorke said. Whole
sale indictments of Communists NAV
follow the Winitsky sentence, set for
next Monday.
In charging the jury Justice Weeks
commented on the statements of Will
lam j. Fallon, counsel for the defense.
who had declared that radicals felt
they could not get justice in the courts
OF this country.
We are living under the most Just
and falrest system of Jurisprudence in
the whole world" declared the justice.
Under our law a defendant is pre-
sumed innocent until proved guilty, and
in case of a reasonable doubt he is to
be acquitted.
Grave Crime, Says Justice
Inc CRIME OF which this defendant
is accused is one of the gravest known
to our law because Of it's possible con-
sequence to the state. In this country
there is but one lawful means by which
the government of the United States
can be overthrown-the means pro-
vided by the Constitution. There is no
lawful means of overthrowing this gov
ernment except by the ballot"
Difference in opinion as to the con-
duct of the Winitsky prosecution led
to the resignation yesterday of William
c. Bowers Cd, Assstat District Attor
ney, associated with Mr.. Rorke during
the trial. Friction between the two
lawyers had been noted since the early
days of the trial. 1t cropped up
Wednesday when Mr.. Bowers offered
his resignation to District Attorney
Swami, who prevailed on him to re-
consider his action.
Yesterday Mr.. Bowers insisted on re-
signing. He will quit his post April /.
He has been on Mr.. Swann's staff three

Schooner, Sinking, Sends
Wireless Call for Help
The Dorothy Palmer Reported
in Distress OFF Nantucket;
Cutler. Sent Ont

The auxiliary schooner Dorothy Pal
mer, bound from Norfolk with coal
for Boston, sent radio for help yes
terday saying that she was sinking near
the entrance of Nantucket Sound.
The radio, signed by Captain jamie
son, master of the schooner, was picked
up by the Naval Communication Serv-
ice in this city. The master said the
vessel was leaking at the rate of Ia
inches an hour and that he had trouble
with the boiler tubes, which were sup
plying power to the pumps.
The vessel had Z feet of water in her
hold when the call for help was sent
out. AS soon as the message was re-
ceived the coast guard cutter Acushnet
was dispatched from Boston to find and
stand by the Palmer, which gave her
position as being off Great Round
Shoals.
The Dorothy Palmer is a vessel of
2,872 tons gross and is 294 feet long
with beam of 46 feet She carries a
crew of fourteen men.

Queen of Belgians Unable
To Get Room i'm Hotels

FONTAINEBLEAU, France, March 2s.
When Queen Elizabeth of Belgium
came here last evening to arrange for
the opening of her villa she was unable
to obtain rooms in any of the~city's
hotels, and for short time was home
less.
The Queen rented cottage in the
city and expects to spend few weeks
here. When she reached Fontainebleau
last night she decided it would be more
practicable to go to hotel for the
night instead of to her villa on the out.
skirts of the city. The Queen applied
for rooms, but at every hotel was told
that there "were no rooms for madame. -
She finally was forced to drive to her
villa, where she slept on camp cot
there being no bed in readiness.
The Fcntainebleau hotel managers to-
day are desolate with the thought that
they denied hospitality to queen.
The Queen treated the incident good
naturedly and remarked to one Of her
ladies' in-waiting: TT reminds me of
the autumn of 1914 when we really
were homeless"

Smith lays the sudden making

news certainly did not come from the

advanced there that dAnnunzio was
under the impression that the fate of
Fiume would be settled at the meet

the answer.

IGNORES SLUSH FUND
ASIAN ELECTION ISSUE
Prohibition Nominee for President
Regards League, Labor and Liquor
Traffic Main Questions.

HAMLINE. Mimi, September 10 (by
the Associated Press).-The country
at large will not care 80 cents to find
out the exact figures or even the
approximate figures of any campaign
fund, said Aaron S. Watkins. prohi-
bition candidate for President, in
speech at the Minnesota state fair to-
day.
"It is said by some that all the ma
tional elections since the civil war
have followed the line of largest con-
tributions," Mr.. Watkins continued.
1.-The fact that the side with the larg-
est campaign fund has usually won

way or another
Going Concerns Always Attract.
'It may be true that the party which
is on the way to victory may easily
secure the largest campaign funds
because going concern always at
the man who calls attention SO large
ly to his opponents campaign funds
may be betraying the fact that the
swing is against himself.
1.-THE real questions of this year are
the league of nations, the labor prob
lem and the extinction of the liquor
traffic. On all these questions we be-
lieve that the rural population can
be reached with reason and will vote
in accordance Herewith"
Discusses Rural Problems.
Mr.. Watkins devoted the major por-
ton Of his speech to a discussion of
rural problems, the most important of
which, he said, was self-preservation
and the steady decrease of rural pop
ulation.
He said that the solution of the
question was to develop genuine
LOYALTY to the farm. He concluded:
"As long as boys and girls on the
farm are taught that the great OPP
portunities. Intellectual, social and
financial, are in the cities, we shall
cry out in vain against the exodus
from the farm. Whenever we begin to
plan the farm as permanent place
to live and the best place to enjoy
tior at least to state it's problems to
the country and to assist in their So
luton"
