TELLS OF FIGHT
WITH TRADE WINDS
ARMY PILOT WAS FORCED BACK
WARD AT RATE OF 100
MILES AN, HOUR.

New York, March 13.-Trade
winds sweeping from west to east at
100 to 200 miles an hour, were dis
covered at 10000 feet by Major Ru-
dolph w. Schroeder, army test pilot
at Dayton, Ohio, before he fell ap-
proximately five miles and landed
without crashing after establishing
an altitude record of $4,000 feet in
recent flight. He reported the dis
covery on his arrival here to attend
the national aircraft show.
AT the peak of my climb, where
hung with slightly upward progress
for Is minutes, I found the wind
blowing toward the east at the rate
of 220 miles an hour" he said. II
had started 80 miles west of Dayton,
my machine had a speed Of 100 miles
per hour. and as I steered westward
was literally travelling backward
120 miles an hour, or two miles a
minute.
II have not been able to figure out
exactly what the roof of the world
really is. think it possible to go
much higher than $4,000 feet, which
scientists believe is the ultimate cell
ing of the world. But believe it to
be question of fuel supply"
Mai. Schroeder said that after his
months furlough was granted him to
recover from effects of freezing and
carbon monoxide poisoning, suffered
when his oxygen supply failed him,
he would make another aerial eX-
ploration. He added he intended rig
ging up a pilots "cake" into which
oxygen could be pumped.

SELECT uD0R'S
TEN DELEGATES
LIST OF NOMINATIONS FOR WAGE
BOARD SUBMITTED TO
WILSON TO-DAY.

Washington, March 13.-Labor' IS
nominations to the railroad labor
board the wage board of appeals on
which the public will have represen-
tation were submitted to the presi-
dent. There were 10 names from
which the president will select three
to be sent to the senate for confir-
mations along with three from the
railroad executive and three repre-
senting the public. The railroad ex-
ecutives have not yet completed their
list nor has the president selected the
public group.
The shop crafts, one of the three
groups into which the 16 labor
unions were divided, named only two
men. None of the names was made
public but It was learned that the
shop crafts chose A. o. Wharton,
president of the railway employees
department OF the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and B. M. Jewell, who
during the time Mr.. Wharton served
as a member of the railroad admin
istration's wage adjustment board,
acted as president of affiliated
unions.
The union groups, with the ,excep-
tion of the shop craft, were reported
to have been far from unanimous in
the selection of their representatives
Each individual union fought vigor-
ously to have it's own choice included
in the nominations and the contro-
versy threatened to become serious
until it was agreed that the names
would be submitted to the white
house without any Indications from
the unions as to their first and al.
ternate selections.

UNCLE SAM WILL PUSH

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FINDS NO
WEAKNESS IN SHERMAN ACT
BY COURT DECISION.

Thedepartment of justice will pro.
ceed against all corporations alleged
to be trusts regardless of the recent
decision by the supreme court in the
steel corporation case.
In announcing the Department.
policy today Attorney General Pal
mer said,
"The steel case does not indicate
what the high court will do in other
similar trials"
Mature study" of the steel cor
poration decision, the attorney gen.
eral said, disclosed no weakness in
the Sherman act under which the
suits were brought Officials ex-
planned that the A to decision-the
vote in the steel trust case-could
not be construed as meaning that that
was the view of the high court on
the Sherman law. The decision
stated that the steel corporation was
nat committing unlawful acts now
but officials pointed out that the de-
partment was left free to institute
new proceedings il violations were
discovered.
Nine antitrust suits are before the
supreme court
Among suits in the lower courts is
the action against labor leaders and
manufacturers in Chicago who are
accused of collusion to restrain the
installment of electrical fixtures in
Chicago unless manufactured in that
particular city. The important phase
of this case is it's connection with the
relationship between capital and fa-
Dor.

To all probability the campaign
will be bipartisan as it is known that
both republican and democratic con.
gr9ssional campaigns will participate

SAYS DEBATES
ARE EFFECTIVE
ALVIN WAGGONER COMMENTS
ON Observation-Disclosures
MEETINGS.

Philip, March 13.-Alvin Wag-
goner, presidential elector in 1915
and official messenger who carried
the returns from this state to Wash
ington, in commenting on political
matters, said: n
II am inclined TO think that it is
the tendency of some of us who do
not like the whole of the Richards
primary law to disparge the McMas-
ter-Richards debates. Anyway, /
think the debates have not received
the consideration that they deserve
over the state.
"Here in Philip the debate was at
tended by the. largest crowd ever
gathered in the county for a political
meeting. There was the closest at
tention on the part of the audience,
and there has been much political
discussion since the event, ranging
far afield from the issues discussed
by the speakers.
II note that the debates are not
serious enough to suit some folks
Well, the debate is an old political
institution, and it has never been
especially serious. 1t is not the part
of the debater to make his point with
funeral face and solemn tones. When
Mr.. McMaster holds up his and his
opponents platform side by side,
and, after scathing ridicule, in the
end denominates the Richards plat
form "a zero platform everybody
laughs, but just the same he has in
an apt phrase summed up the whole
weakness Of his opponents cam
paign. Instances of the same sort
could be multiplied.
Indeed, this campaign emphasizes
the effectiveness of the debate as a
forum for political discussion. 1t
drives home the fact that there is no
place for a weak issue out on the
hustlings in the rough and tumble of
political. debate.
"A candidate with weak issue
would do well to keep it at home,
Richards would have done well to
have kept this in mind.
Possibly his moral and individ-
ual merit system of handling the Ii
quor problem with judicious adver-
tising and with a barrage of circular
letters could have been bolstered up
to look like an issue.
"But when he brings it out in the
glare of public debate, his opponent
begins to knock the sawdust out of
it. In fact the dummy issue had
been dragged through IL debates
when it reached Philip, and it begins
to show hard usage.
when Lieutenant-Governor Nc
Master hits it now the sawdust flies
in 40 directions"

out the country. it was learned to-
day.
Keen political observers here
whose sympathies are with the

overturning prohibition, but they
hope to make it less drastic by elect

prohibition issue will be fought out
at the polls next November.
The supreme courts decision on
the 18th amendment, and the volstead
law expected soon. may determine
how extensively the campaign will
be. Should the court hold that con-
gress has the right to define what is
intoxicating. as 1t has done in the
volstead law. the campaign of wet
forces is expected to be started i'm
mediately. II their efforts are sue

given Anderson by Judge J. d. Ell
lott at Deadwood in October, 1918.
Robert p. Stewart, now assistant at
torney general Of the United States,
who was then United States district
attorney. handled the case for the
government at the trial at Deadwood.
Evidence introduced at the trial
showed that Anderson continued his
disloyalty to the government after he
had been arrested and was, being
taken to jail. It developed during
the trial that Anderson was alleged
to have stated that his sympathy was
with Germany In the war and would
fight any representative of the gov
ernment who might attempt to see
that he registered. Anderson is also
alleged to have said that he would
use his influence In preventing his
five brothers from being called in the
draft.
