Gov. Cox Believes He Can Get
Senate to Ratify League.
Plans Reservation Compromise
If Elected President.

En- Route With Governor Cox.
Huntington, w. Va, Oct. 26,-Gov.
James NJ. Cox's belief is that in the
event of his election he can obtain
ratification of the peace treaty thru
a compromise with the senate based
on a series of reservations about "half
way" between those of Senator Hitch
cock and those of Senator Lodge, it
was learned today
This is the Interpretation which the
governors advisers who are with him
on his stump tour place on his state
ment here that the sort of agreement
which 1 shall be enable to obtain will
be determined by the senatorial elec-
tions."
The governor has made it plain he
considers the ratification of the treaty
of vital concern to the United States
and to accomplish that end he will be
willing to go considerable further
than President Wilson did in effecting
compromise. Wilson approved the
Hitchcock reservations but rejected
those of Lodge. Cox said If too much
has to be given in compromise. it can
be corrected or modified by the peo-
pie at later elections.
Democratic leaders believe Cox's
statement that he will accept the
views of the new senate to a consider
able extent, will be big factor in

Jimmie Ward, Dean ofAir
Returns After Ten Years
He Flew First Plane In Topeka In Company With Bud
Mars-Has Made 5000 Flights Since That Time
No Planes Wrecked In Thirteen Years of Flying

Jimmie Ward, dean of the air devils,
was in Topeka a few hours today-a
return visit after an absence of more
than ten years in which he has made
5000 flights. 1t was Jimmie Ward
who, with Bud Mars, flew the first
plane in Topeka eleven years ago.
Ward is still in the game and he ranks
with the few bird men who have mas
tered the art and no serious accidents
chalked against their records.
1t was a modern standard two-pas-
senger car in which Jimmie Ward
returned to Topeka-a real contrast to
the old 'pusher" type of plane with
which he first thrilled Topekans and
Kansans. But Jimmie Ward knows
them all. He started with the first
old style plane 8 years ago-the ma
chine wherein the motion of the
flyers body controlled direction. And
after using the Shooting Star" the
June Bug" and the Silver Dock
first planes in the service-Ward is
now an encyclopedia of information
regarding all the makes and models of
new cir craft.
Never Wrecked Plane.
Never wrecked a plane" Ward said
today as he recalled thirteen years of
flying thrills. ''It isn't necessary.
Most of the accidents happen to the
service men and the fellows who have
not had sufficient training. never
leave the ground until my engine has
run thirty minutes and has a thoro
warming up and when I know every

thing is all right. That's the thing that
counts
Many Kansans recall Jimmie Ward
and his sensational flight with Bud
Mars. They assembled to a height of
probably 500 feet in their famous
Shooting Star" But it was a great
thrill in those days. The next year the
men returned to Topeka and perform
ed their stunts all over again.
Taught Beachy the Tail Spin.
Ward taught Lincoln Beachy to do
the tail spin. He was with Beachy
when he was killed at San Francisco.
In the thirteen years he has been in
the game, Jimmie Ward has taught
hundreds of men to fly. He spent
three years and four months in the
aerial signal corps and was an instruc-
tor on almost every army field in the
country.
Just now Ward is conducting a fly
ing school at Arkansas City. He is
accompanied on his present trip by
Roy Hume, head of the Arkansas City
Aerial club. The two men landed in
the dark Monday. They were looking
for the Topeka landing field, but in
che dark missed it more than a mile.
No flyer in the service today has
seen more active air work than has
Ward. y

She LET'S 'EM FIGHT
Chicago School Teacher Says Boys
Quarreis Best Settled With Their
F1sts-She Referees Bouts.

Chicago, Oct 26.-Boys' troubles are
settled best by letting them fight it
out, according to the practical philos-
ophy of Miss Alice NJ. Hogge, principal
of Webster Public Grammar school
here today.
Il approve of boys fighting when
they become deadlocked in an argu-
ment.' said Miss Hogge. 1T is sue
cessfui way of settling disputes
Miss Hogge registered her approval
yesterday. Two boys started quarrel
ing and she told them to fight it out.
Miss Hogge refereed. ForAan hour the
youthful belligerents smashed at each
other. Today they were friends.
Letting the boys fight their trou-
bles out is the best way in a school
such as the Webster" said Miss Hogge.
The Webster school is attended by
children of twenty-five nationalities.
Il never permit any serious injuries.
A black eve or SO is usually the limit"
superintendent of Schools Morrison
endorsed Miss Hogge's theory.

EXPRESS RATE up HARDING SITS PAT
Kansas Court Approves Inter.
state Advance Here.
Raise of 20 to 26 Per Cent Soon
as Published Schedules.

The court of industrial relations to-
day approved increases in express
rates between Kansas points to cor
respond with advances in interstate
rates recently allowed by the inter-
state commerce commission. The rate
increase amounts to 20 per cent on
milk and cream shipments with rs
per cent advance on an other COM
modities.
New rates are effective on twenty
four hours notice. 1t is probable the
new classifications will be ordered
into effect as soon as schedules can
be published. The new rates are ef-
fective until May 21, 1921 during
which time the American Railway Ex-
press company Is ordered to prepare
and file numerous reports as. to reve-
nues, earnings and expenses.
The increased interstate express
rates were allowed in August by the
interstate commerce commission. A
supplemental increase was granted in
September. Both increases are en-
bodied in the order made by the indus
trial court today to apply to intrastate
express shipments.

Head of Kansas Federation of Lab
Calls Governor Allen.

Governor Aliens statement to a To-
peka audience to the effect that the
draft of his industrial court law was
approved by w. E. Freeman, head of
the Kansas Federation of Labor was
denied by Freeman after the Topeka
meeting. The governor told his To-
peka crowd that Freeman came to his
office with Glen Willett and Squire
Nee, approved the proposed law. but
returned the day before the session
convened and said they would would
be forced to fight the bill under in
structions from national officers.
The statement of the governors is
absolutely false" Freeman said. "At
no time did say to the governor your
industrial court law is fair Neither
did Glen Willett nor Squire Nee make
such a statement - Never at that
time nor since the special session have
I been in the governors office when
there was present only Willett and
Squire Nee. 1 have never at any
time told the governor or anyone else
that I was forced by anyone to oppose
the enactment of the Industrial court
law
/ Freeman stated that at the time he
visited the governors office with Will
lett and Squire Nee. the three were
accompanied by all other members of
the labor lobby.

Only Safe Course Is to Stay

Marion, O., Oct. 26-The only safe
course for America is to remain out
side of the League of Nations until a
plan for an association of nations can
be united upon in which our precise
obligations will be known beyond un-
Certainty or equivocation. Senator
Warren G. Harding declared today,
comuienting on the statement of Leon
Bourgeois. president of the league
council.
i Bourgeois stated Article X was not
a vital part of the covenant This
Senator Harding interpreted to mean
that if Article x is eliminated, its eff
fset. will be still preserved in other
sections Of the covenant.
NJ Bourgeois is supposed here to
have taken his cue from Senator Hard
ing's declaration at Rochester, n. Y
that he will never as president, send
to the senate a covenant with Article
x in it. =
aIn all his attacks on the league,
Harding his centered his fire on Arti-
Gle X and considers this one clause ut
terly impossible of acceptance. With
that provision eliminated, the whole
question might appear IN a new light
and what Senator Harding would do in
that case is problematicaT
r. There will be a return to the pro-
tective tariff policy of equalizing the
cost of production at home and abroad
promptly after March next, Senator
Harding promised today in a teIegra m

set for the strike to begin but no mar
ket effects were noticeable until to-
day.
-~Rhe exceptional strength which de-
veloped in the market today was en-
couraged to a considerable extent also
by the fact that export buying on a
large scale was noted. 1t was estf-
mated that exporters had purchased
today 1,250,000 bushels of American
wheat and that Great Britain and
France were buying in India where
late famine has been reported.
