Police Commissioner J. Dean Ringer
for flying but gave him some defi-
mite opinion on proposed legisla-
ton regulating the aerial lanes over
Omaha.
Slightly strained wrists are the only
injuries the police head will admit
after making forced landing two
miles southeast Of the air mail field.
He ernphatically denies that he was
scared.
Commissioner Ringer "hopped
off" at sos with c. A. James as
pilot. His thrills began Immediately.
Engine trouble developed at the
start and the ship SKINNED the tops

is sure the running gear OF the plane
touched both houses and trees,
although spectators say he cleared
them. by several inches.

The pilot continued working with
his motor until about two miles from
the feldy when the engine stopped
and the plane fell "kerplunk"s in
lake of mud in the backyard of a
residence. The pilot estimated the
distance of the fall between 50 and
IS feet. The machine was slightly
damaged.
Doctors, inechanicians, friends and
others at the flying field when they
saw the plane fall rushed in auto
mobiles to the scene OF the accident,
expecting to find a badly damaged

reverse was true,

a plane pi1otad by Capt. w. r. Hol-

buildings, but thoroughly enjoyed
his flight.
He announced that in the near fu-

which he will make regulations for
aviators passing over Omaha. "Jaz-I

prohibited, Mr.. Ringer said he was
convinced after his own 75-foot fall.
The commissioner said he was not
prepared after one flight to am

Of the opinion that minimum
flying height of about 1000 feet was
right.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington. Feb. 9.-Representa.
tive Johnson's bill passed by the
house, providing the suspension o.
immigration for one year, was
formally rejected today by the sen
ate committee on immigration by
a vote Of 4 to 5. Senator's Johnson
OF Washington, Harris OF Georgia
Harrison OF Mississippi and King OF
Utah voted for the bill and Colt
of Rhode Island fcfairinan). Dill
ingham OF Vermont, Sterling OF
South Dakota. Keyes of New Hamp-
shire, and Phelan of California,
against it.
The majority took the position
that the existence of an emergency
requiring the complete suspension of
immigration had not been demon
strated and that congress should
proceed to the enactment OF we'll
considered restrictive legislation.
The committee will take up tomor-
row the Dillingham; bill for per-
centage limitation of immigration,
with view to reporting it favorably
TO the senate as substitute for the
Johnson bill, although there is no
expectation OF passing it before
March 4.
On Percentage Basis.
The Dillingham; bill provides that
the number of aliens of any nation
atty entering the United States as
immigrants in any one year, shall be
limited to S per cent of the total
number of persons of such nation
ality already in the country, as deter
mined by the latest census. The
legislation would not apply to immi-
grants from the American conti-
nents and adjacent islands. nor to
the Asiatic barred zone" from
which immigrants already are ey-
cluded. nor to Japan, immigration
from which, is regulated by agree
nlent.
Senator Johnson and other radi-
cal restrictionists will endeavor to
have the percentage cut to 2, 8 or
4 per cent.
Senator Dillingham; calculates that
his percentage plan Of restriction
would operate to permit a greater
immigration from northwestern
Europe than hitherto, while cutting
to one-third the rate Of immigration
from the remainder Of Europe. He
submitted to the committee the fol-

MUST PAY TRIBUTE TO ART
Not In Admiration, But In Current
Coin, ls the Edict of the French
Authorities.

After all these years Of luxurious
idleness the Venus de Milo must be-
come q wage Garner. The authorities
of France have so decreed. And not
only Venus, but Mona Lisa and all the
other celebrities gathered in the
Louvre. and in the Luxembourg and
other galleries as WELL For the fat
has gone forth recently that hereafter
those who have been accustomed to
visit the museums of Paris day after
day, finding their treasures free as
air, must pay an admission fee. Ii
you want to 60 to admire Venus In her
crimson velvet seclusion you must pay
for the privilege. To be sure, she Is
worth any price, you must admit. AND
when you go into the Salon Care OF
the Louvre and stop to mediate about
what the enigmatical Mona Lisa Is
meditating, you must pay for that, too.
Not a separate admission for each de-
partment. No they are all banded to-
gether in one big union, as 1t were,
all those priceless treasures OF each
museum, and hereafter they will earn
their keep.

PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL
New Method, Said to Have Originated
in Russia, May Result in ReIiev-
Ing Shortage.

A new method of drying turf to re-
lieve the serious fuel shortage in Fin
land has been put in operation in vari-
GUS Scandinavian countries. The new
method was invented by engineers
working under orders from the Rus
sian soviet government, TO find q more
labor-saving method of preparing turf
as fuel for the great central power sta
ton near Moscow, the process being
made known in Finland through an es-
Gaping engineer. The Fundamental
principle of the process is quite sim
pie. The raw turf in the swamp, by q
powerful jet of water under pressure
of 20 atmospheres, is freed from all
old roots and changed to thin mud.
This is pumped out on a drying field
and spread in layers. When sufficient
Iy dry it is cut into bricks of uniform
size by means of a tractor. The turf
pump is constructed like an ordinary
water turbine, is reversible with aid of
electric motor, is equipped with a cut
ting apparatus which completes the
work of the water jet, and can be
raised or lowered as the surface of the
mud varies. The entire equipment is
mounted on q car which can be pushed
forward or backward on rails along the
line Of work.-Scientific American.

FEAR EPIDEMIC OF TYPHUs
British Authority Tells of Danger TO
the World Because Of Bad condl-
lions In Russia.

DR.. L. Haden Guest Of London, who
has been investigating conditions in
Russia, reports to the Lancet Uon-
dom that the whole Of that country
has been swept by typhus and relaps-
sng fever and that all indications point
Enthusiastically to formidable ep1dem-
ic In the coming winter. Cholera also
has made its appearance and small
pox is widely prevalent.
The Lancet warns the world at
large that unless Immediate and eff
fective steps be taken these frightful
diseases will spread through the Dor
der states to other countries, and be-
fore long will appear all over the
world. THE council Of the League Of
Nations has thoroughly studied the
situation, with the aid of some of the
best-known psychologists in the
world; they have reasonable and
economical program, and have appoint
ed commissioners, but the actual
work cannot proceed until they have
obtained money guarantees from the
different nations, which so far have
not materialized, except In the case
Of few countries, including Great
Britain and Canada. The future Of
the matter may well prove, in the par
lance Of the day. an acid test of the
reality Of the league as family of
nations, ready to act for the common
good and TO Drotect members of the
family who are threatened by disaster"

fered at auction in London the Shake
speare hotel at Standardization, q
beautiful specimen Of Fourteenth cen

been the main resort Of Americans
and other tourists to SUatford-on-

The history of Stratford-on-Avon
may be traced back for q period Of
1000 years, and as the birthplace OF
the great poet it has become q classic
center visited annually by some 10000
people. The Guard house, where
Shakespeare was born; Shottery, where
he cOurted Anne Hathaway; Charlotte
Park, once the seat of Sir Thomas
Lucy, whose displeasure Shakespeare
incurred by stealing his deer; the
Shakespeare Memorial theater, on the
banks of the Avon. and Shakespeare's
monument, are all places worthy OF
visiting in the old market town OF
Stratford- on-AVon.
The Shakespeare hotel, situated in
the center of the town and close to
the Shakespeare Memorial Theater,
was erected in the Fourteenth century,
and has been in the hands of the late
Mr.. JuStns' family aimee 1870. A few
