Alliance With
Britain Futile

U. S. Ambassador Says Plan
As Suggested By Lord
Derby, impossible
Scores Communism.

Liverpool, Nov. 3.-George Har-
vey, United States ambassador to
Great Britain, told an audience at the
Liverpool Chamber Of Commerce to-
night that it was futile to hope that
America, as Lord Derby recently had
been suggesting, may some day be
merged in definite alliance with
Great Britain and France.
This statement was made as a
DEPRESSION from an address on eco
nomics and the International indus
trial situation, in which the ambas-
sador attacked communism and So
cialism and defended individualism.
He recalled Lord Derby's statement
in an address in Birmingham, in
which the latter voiced the convic-
ton that the success of the WASH
ington conference would mean peace
and that its failure would mean war
in the immediate future. He also
recalled Lord Derby's suggestion to
former President Poincare of France
that an Anglo French alliance would
be desirable in the interests of peace,
intimating the strong hope" that
America might eventually Join the
combination.
Dispels Illusions.
"Now it seems to have fallen to
my unhappy lot, since L have been
in England" continued the ambassa-
dor, ito dispel illusions respecting
the attitude OF the United States. |

First Thought Of

Captain Hartney Cracks
Near Honey Greek, Ia, on
First Lap Of Race In
jury Undetermined.

Telephone my wife and tell her
I've only sprained my ankle"
Those were Captain H. E. Hart
ney's first words as two rescuers
reached him following his crash two
miles north of Honey Creek, Ia, yes
terday afternoon.
A faulty gas pump was responsible
for the crash of Captain Hartney's
Thomas Morse monoplane, which he
was flying in the Pulitzer trophy
race.
Captain Hartney had just started
his first lap when the gas pump
failed him. He attempted to adjust
his feed line to an auxiliary tank. but
while doing so he lost so much
speed his ship fell into tailspin.
Got Out Of Tailspin.
Although at an altitude of only
500 feet he managed to extricate his
ship from the spin. 1t was to no
avail, however, as the plane almost
Immediately became unmanageable
and crashed to the earth.
Captain Hartney Is unable to ex
plain his fall after bringing the ma
chine out of the tailspin. What hap
pened he does not know. He only
knows the airplane's landing wheels
came into contact with the, earth
first and the machine hurtled through
the plowed field, in which he fell at
a lOO-mile an hour clip, before il
nosed over.
The ship turned turtle with such
violence that the flyer was thrown
50 feet from his craft.
Plane Is Destroyed.
The ship caught fire and burned
for more than an hour. 1t was COM
pletely destroyed.
Jim Gilmore, on whose farm near
Honey Greek the aviator fell, and
Ed Campbell were working in the
field only few yards from where
Hartney plunged to earth: They ran
to his assistance and carried him in
to Gilmore's house, where he rested
on cot until an ambulance from the
flying field could arrive to transport
him to Fenger hospital.
DR.. N. P. Atwood, stationed at
Honey Creek, rushed to the scene
and reported that, Captain Hartney
had suffered dislocated hip. dHe
also feared the captain may have suf-
fered internal injuries.

Jumper Pleads
ToBeSaved as He
Battles Current
Thousands See Parachute Man
Leap From Plane But Few
See Struggles to Es.
cape Death.

Scores Of spectators saw Harry A.
Eibe, the parachute jumper, go to a
violent death in the treacherous
waters of the Missouri river north
and east of the flying field yesterday.
Some criticism of the management,
which failed to maintain emergency
launches in the river, was heard after
the accident, but those who stood on
the bank as the jumper struggled
against the current declared human
aid was out of the question.
Eibe suffered the terrible expe-
rience of watching death come upon
him. As his parachute sailed over
the flying field, borne by the wind
from the south and west, he knew
that in few seconds he would fall
in the river.
Spectators heard his cries.
Help me, ! can't swim,' he
shouted.
Unable to Aid Him.
Those who heard rushed to the
river bank. They arrived there only
to stand in silence as the jumper was
enveloped- by the water.
sEbie fell in the very middle of
the current, where it was impossible
to reach him. Although unable to
swim, the swift current OF the river
seemed to keep him aAoat for time
and he was carried 100 yards down
stream before he finally went under
the third time.
As he was carried down the river
he continued his cries for help.
"For Gods sake, help mel" he
shouted desperately. Il can't swim. .
Current Very Strong.
But even an expert swimmer
would have been fortunate to have
survived, the current against which
Eibe was struggling. 1t was impos-
sible for man who could not swim
and who in addition was burdened
with six-pound pack on his back
One spectator attempted to 60 to
Eibe's rescue with an old rowboa,
he found on the bank. He had to
bail it out first and then found the
craft was without oars. He tried to
push off by using stick to guide
the boat, but his efforts were utterly
useless.
Arthur Thomas, chairman of the
publicity committee for the Air con-
gress, was one Of the spectators near
the scene of the tragedy. He started
to race downstream to carry word
Of the accident to spectators quarter

TWoPrisOners
Break Jail in
Dodge County
Mother of Young Baby Sus.
pected of Aiding Husband
Escape-Others Re.
fuse to Leave.

Fremont, Neb., Nov. s.--(Special
Telegram Filing their way
through a heavy steel lock and then
crawling backwards on their stom-
achs through a ventilating shaft, Ar
vim Lundberg, IS, experienced jail
breaker, and Clair Millard, burglar,
wriggled themselves to freedom at
an early hour this morning. The es.
cape was discovered when the jail
deputy entered the compartment with
breakfast for the prisoners about
7:30.
1t was the most daring getaway
ever attempted in this county. When
the fleeing prisoners entered the
shaft they took a chance Of taking
sheer drop of five floors to the
basement below. Instead they
crawied cautiously through the sheet
tin pipe until they reached the floor
below and ended up in an ante
chamber of the district court jury
room.
Other Prisoners-Stay.
Despite. the fact that they were
unobserved and Lundberg invited
the rest Of the prisoners to follow,
no one else took advantage Of the
avenue to escape. Lundberg was the
first prisoner of Sheriff Condit when
he first went into office in 1909.
Lundberg remained for only one
day. He escaped from his captors
while being transferred to the city
Jail. He was trailed into Iowa and
captured again, only to break away
once more when he jumped from
a speeding passenger train.
Among the prisoners who refused
chance to accompany the Jail
breakers is Craig Chesterfield, al
legged duke" who is serving SEN
tence OF | to 20 years on forgery
charge. Chesterfield was caught
three different times before he was
convicted in the act of attempting to
break out Of Jail. But he has re-
formed, he says, and is awaiting the
mercy Of law.
Woman Is Suspected.
!. His partner, James Baird, ex-
poets his release on November 16
and didn't care to take any chances.
The officers believe that the es-
cape was aided by Mrs. Clair Mil
lard, who visited her husband at the
jail yesterday. Mrs. Millard gave
birth to child in an Omaha hos
pital few weeks ago while her hus-
band was held here on charge Of
burglary. ~ s
