Positions Are Evac-
uated.

Madrid, Aug. 5.-Spanish forces
have suffered a severe defeat in
northeastern Morocco, where they
have been resisting heavy attacks by
rebellious tribesmen, it is declared by

Zeluan, which have been looked upon
as keys of the Spanish position before
Moliila, have been evacuated by the
Spanish troops, while another news
paper says the tribesmen are holding
5000 Spanish prisoners for ransom.
The Moroccan situation has de-
veloped a political phase here, and
King Alfonso is said to have sum-
moned his advisors.

leader of the Moroccan tribesmen,
credited with having brought about
the Spanish defeat near Melilla, is
but IS years old, says the Heraldo.
He was educated in France and

Revenue Bureau
Completes New
Beer Regulation
No Limit Placed on Number
OF Prescriptions When
Used for Medicinal
Purposes.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Regulations
which will permit the prescription as
medicine of a case of beer at time
without limit to the number of pre-
scriptions are understood to have
been completed by the internal rev.
enue bureau and now await the de-
cision of Secretary Mellon as to their
issuance. AS the secretary is away
for the weekend, it was indicated
that no action could be expected be-
fore Monday and that this might be
affected by congressional enactment
OF pending anti-beer legislation.
The Willis Campbell anti-beer bill,
which is designated to correct the
enforcement act as interpreted by
former Attorney General Palmer in
the matter of medical beer, was de-
bated in the senate today, but ad-
journment was taken until Monday
without an agreement for final vote
being reached. Opponents threat
ened to continue a protracted debate
OF the measure.
Senator Broussard. democrat,
Louisiana, criticized the failure of
the internal revenue bureau to pro-
mulgate the regulations for the pre-
scription of medical beer, but Sen
ator Nelson, republican, Minnesota,
contended that, by the withholding
of the regulations. brewers had been
protected against needless loss.

Skull Fractured When Ship
Piloted by Husband Falls
In Hopoff From Ak.
Sar.Ben Field.
Wreck Due To Small Lot

Members of the Omaha Aero club
assert that an airplane accident at
Ak-Sar- field which resulted in
the probable fatal injury of Mrs.
Martha Bushman, 1929 South Thirty
second street, yesterday morning was
due entirely to the smallness OF the
field.
Mr.. Bushman was plotting an air
plane which had been given him by
his father, w. M. Bushman. Mrs.
Bushman is the first woman to be
critically injured in any airplane ac-
cident here. Bushman and his
nechanician, Clarance Eastman, es-
capped serious injury.
Engine Stalls.
Eddie Deeds, pilot and member OF
the Aero club, witnessed the acci-
dent. Francis Lawrence Bushmsn,
who was plotting the plane when it
crashed, is member of the Aero
club, and an expert pilot, Mr.. Deeds
declared.
"Bushman had been tinkering
with his motor for more than a
week." said Deeds. He thought it
was all right when he took off, but
apparently he hadn't let it get
warmed up enough before starting.
He took. off against the wind and
was about 100 feet up when his en-
gine stopped. There were but two
things for him to do: Either keep
on going straight ahead and VOL
plane down or try to turn back and
land on the field. If he went straight
ahead he was taking the chance of
striking houses or trees, possibly of
killing someone in one of the houses
He tried to turn and get back to the
field, but his flying speed was lost
and the ship nose-dived."
Will Obtain Big Field.
Earl Porter, president of the Aero
club, and R. c. Tooke, also a men,
Der of the club, agreed with Deeds
that the smallness of the field was
the cause of the accident. 1t would
have been a simple matter for Bush
man to glide down had the field ex-
tended reasonable distance in front
of him, they say.
Money derived from tho Aero
congress which will be held here
this fall will be used in obtaining
big field for the city," Porter said.

Buses Unable
ToCarry Crowds
In Des Moines
Resumption of Car Service
Sought; Trainmen Leave
City in Search of
Employment.

Des Moines, Aug. 5.-(Specia
Telegram. 1.-The second day after
cessation of street car service found
Des Moines still struggling with the
problem of transporting its l05,W(
car riders to and from their work
Motor bus service which is being
modified as rapidly as possible is
vet unable to cope with the situa'
ton. There are now about SO busses
in operation on the principal routes
of traffic. They are carrying ap-
proximately $4,000 daily, which is
scarcely 50 per cent of the require
ment.
Additional busses are being rushed
into service as rapidly as possible in
spite of the refusals OF the city coun-
Gil to meet demands of the bus as
sociation that it be given a definite
license contract that will provide
long cough operation to insure the
capital invested.
Merchants Hard Hit.
Retail merchants who are heavily
hit by the Gripping of the transpor-
tation are doing everything in their
power to secure resumption of street
car service.
They have engaged the city coun-
Gil in numerous conferences and are
seeking to determine if sufficient
concessions can't be made to the
car company to obtain resumption OF
service.
The process of dissolving the car
company organization has gone for
ward, however, under the courts
order for suspension. All employees
for the company will be paid off next
Tuesday. The office force will be
let out by the end of the week.
Trainmen Seek Work.
Scores of trainmen plan to leave
the city in search of employment, it
was stated at headquarters of the
union. Recommendation by the
wholesale were issued to these men
by the transportation superintendent.
There is a possibility that the city
council may definitely settle the fu-
ture affairs for the street car COM
pany by notifying the receiver that
the present franchise has been for
feited by the suspension of service
and that the tracks will be torn up
from the city's streets.
This procedure was discussed in
council meeting, but gained little
headway today. In the event that
such a policy was adopted negotia-
tons for a bus franchise would have
to be put through Immediately.

Outbreak
At Prison
Tools and Wire Stolen From
Machine Shops by Omaha
Convicts Who Led
Plotters.
Hole Drilled in Cell Wall

Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 5.-(Special)
Warden w. T. Fenton of the state
penitentiary nipped an attempt to
free 7S convicts from one cell tier,
planned by Martin Delore, 80, and
Albert Truedell, 81, both Omaha
convicts.
The two men now are in solitary
confinement on bread and water.
Truedell and Deore had been
spending their nights for the last
four weeks i'll cutting a hole large
enough to crawl through in the rear
of their cell. For the last week, it
is believed, they had been going out
of their cell at night into the rear
corridor, crawling to the TO-, of the
cell roof and cutting hries through
the ventilator An i .estigation to-
day showed that noles had been
drilled.
Tools Stolen.
Search of the cell which the two
men occupied revealed about 900 feet
of insulated wire, together with nu-
merous drills and other tools stolen
from the prison machine shop. De-
lore worked in the machine shop and
carried drills and other tools to his
cell, while Truedell was the head
prison electrician and easily procured
the wire.
Hidden in an old pair of trousers,
officers found key made out of
table fork which would unlock all
the cells in the tier in which the two
men were confined There are SO
cells in the tier, with two prisoners

Wholesale Escape.
Prison officials hold the theory
that when the men had completed
their work on the ventilator and had
made fast the insulated wire and
| thrown it over the top of the cell
house to the ground they planned to
unlock the doors of all their fellow
prisoners in the tier and permit
them to crawl through the hole in
their cell and Chamber to freedom by
means of the wire.
Two more weeks would have seen
the job completed, according to
Warden Fenton.
Truedell was sent up from Doug
las county April 2o, 1919, with Rob-
ert Walsh and Ed Downey, all of
whom received sentences of from
one to 10 years for breaking and en-
tering. -.

Truedell had two previous prison

Premiers Omit
All Reference to
Irish Problems
Imperial Conference Closes
Sessions at London-Report
Remarkable for What
1t Does Not Tell.
BY JOHN STEELE.

Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 1921
London, Aug. 5. - The imperial
conference adjourned today, the last
meeting being held this morning.
The conference held its first meet,
ing on June 20 and in all there were
"a sessions, at which all phases of
the imperial problems were discussed.
The secretary of the cabinet will
make public tomorrow a resume OF
the work accomplished by the prime
ministers. The document is chiefly
remarkable for what it does not dis
close.
For instance, no mention is made
of ireland, although that part of the
empire was long the subject of
anxious discussion and General
Smuts, as a representative of the
empire rather than Great Britain,
did much to bring about the present
move for peace.
Little mention is made of the
Pacific problems, although these
bulked large in the work Of the con-
ference.
Discuss Foreign Policy.
The document states that the con-
ference devoted most of its discus
sion to foreign policy and to imper-
ial defense, and that these could not
be revealed, as they were of a con-
fidential nature, being similar to
those of the war cabinets in 1917 and
1918.
Referring to discussions of tie
empires foreign policy, it is stated
that after the formal opening, the
statements( took the form of conver.
sations, no formality being observe.
and unanimous discussions were re-
ported on the main outline of British
policy.
Unity of action by the empire is
recommended and it is suggested
that representatives from the various
governments meet more frequently
for discussion of the problems. Be-
tween meetings the home govern
ment is to act as sort of executive
committee, but the home prime min
lister must keep in constant personal
touch with the dominion premiers
and the representatives. of India.
Attend Cabinet Meetings.
An interesting innovation recorded
was the fact that the dominion pre-
miers were invited to attend several
meetings of the British cabinet at
which there were discussions of sub
jects affecting the empire as whole.
The most important of these dis
cussions was that on upper Silesia,
on which the conference was
unanimous as to the policy to be
pursued.
1t is also stated that the problems
of the far east and the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance were fully discussed
and that President Harding's invita-
ton to a disarmament conference
was warmly welcomed. The re-
ports set forth briefly the hostility
of the United States toward a pre-
liminary conference at London or
elsewhere.
The matter of imperial communi-
cations by air and wireless was re-
ferred to the parliaments and it was
decided to retain the present air
ship arrangements, pending a deci-
sion, at a cost not to exceed l,SOO
pounds monthly. The imperial
wireless chain is to be completed,
each dominion providing station
on its own territory,
