THREE DAY AIR
RACES START;
100 ENTRIES
Best Fighting Machines of
Army Take Part in Big
Event
COURSE OVER LAKE
Huge Planes Can Travel
Only 100 Miles an
Hour
(By the Associated Press)

|
Mount Clemons, Mich, Oct. 12.--
Two races, one for large multi-mo.
tored bomb or mail carrying air.
planes and the other for light craft,
today ushered in the. three-day air
racing meet at Selfridge field. The
meet closes Saturday with the Ma
tional Air classic, the Pulitzer tro-
ply race. =:
More than 100 planes, representing
the best fighting machines of the ar
my and navy, aerial mail carriers and
experimental craft, were here to COM
pete in the various events. O..
Included in the entries was one
plane built as far back as 1918 and
which still holds a record, as we'll
as the latest speed creations of the
larger laboratories.
Their performance is to be watch
ed closely throughout the meet by
heads Of the army and navy aviation
arm and prominent aircraft engi-
neers, who agree that only such com
petition approaches the exacting con-
ditions Of war and discloses the
merits or defects of the various
types. ..
Army entrants were in the major
ty in the opening days races. Four
Martin bombers and one Martin
transport, each powered by two 400
horsepower Liberty motors, were the
starters in the multi-motor plane
races for the air mail trophy, offer
ed by the Detroit News.
All these ships are after the same
general design, except that the
transport is fitted out to carry IL
passengers instead of load of ex.
plosives.
The race was considered more Of a
sporting event than of a test of per-
formance, and speed, for the huge
planes can travel but little more than
100 miles an hour.
The bombers were, to fly ten times
around 24-mile triangular course,
most of which is over Lake St. Clair.
The three pylons must be turned at
an altitude of less than 400 feet and
at the last leg of each lap, balloon
anchored at an altitude of 1000 feet,
must be hurdled.
The lighter plane race, for the De-
troit aviation country club trophy,
was under the same rules that gov
erned the bombers. Two single motor
army machines and four commercial
planes piloted by civilians, were en-
tered in this event. 1t brought into
competition a wide range of motor
power, the Curtiss entry being driven
by a 160-horsepower Curtiss c. mo-
tor, while the army planes carried
Liberty 12's of 4O0-horsepower. Two
of the machines moutned 200-horse-
power Hispano Suiza motors.

Chicago, Oct. Ia. Ogden Ar
mour, packer, and George E. Marcy,
president Of the Armour Grain Com
pany, principal witnesses yesterday
before the Federal Trade Commits
sion in its inquiry of trading in
grain futures were in conference
with attorneys today to determine
to what extent they will reveal de-
tails Of their grain transactions when
they appear before the commission
again tomorrow.
Declining yesterday to disclose the
intimate details of their speculatiors,
Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy agreed
to tell the commission tomorrow whc-
ther they would furnish all the dates
and figures Of their trades requested
by the Federal inquiry board.
Mr.. Armour characte rized himself
as a casual trader' in the grain
market. He denied that Armour and
company, the packing house, was in
terested in any grain deals in which
he participated, asserting that the
packing firm does not trade in grain
futures.
Both Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy
defended the board of trade as a ne
cessary medium through which the
farmers find sure and constant
market for his grain
"The farmer has place to sell his
grain every day in the year." Mr..
Armour said. "He may not at times
get the price he is entitled to, but l
think it has stabilized conditions.
Generally speaking he is better off,
l would say, than without specu-
lative future market, because no man
in the grain business would buy

WILL NOT RESIGN
Premier Determined to Retain

NOT RESIGN
(By. the Associated Press)

B. wy WAC <1SSVSAotcu Ec60J y.
London, Oct. 12.-Odds of nearly
two to one against an election be.
fore the end of the year are being
accepted in the London insurance
market Notwithstanding the positive
assertions in the press and in poll
tical circles that an appeal to the
country before Christmas is newt
able. The discrepancy thus manifest
ed is significant of the complete uh-
certainty surrounding the political
situation.
The morning newspapers again
give over their chief columns to dis
cussions, predictions and supposed
revelations. Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges friends continue to insist
that he will not resign, while others
assert with equal confidence that he
has determined to ask the country
for vote of confidence at the polls
and that his speech at Manchester
Saturday would be the first gun
fired in the great electoral campaign.
There is general concurrence on
one point, namely, that the crisis has
been brought about by the restivc-
ness of the rank and file of the con-
servatives, who are tired alike Of the
coalition government and Lloyd
Georges leadership and are eager 4 ,
get back to party lines.
Amidst the many uncertainties one
thing is certain-that the next few
days will supply the public with more
excitement concerning domestic poll
tics than it has enjoyed since the
outbreak of the world war. .fE.
One of the interesting features
when an election is declared will be
the number of women seeking the
limelight of parliamentary life. The
two represent women members, Lady
Astor and Mrs. Margaret Wintring-
ham are understood to desire ra-
election, and nearly . score Of oths
ers are already announced candidates,
the great majority being for liberal
and labor constituencies.

Commerce Commission, according to
]. F. Reed, president of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation, who
returned today from Des Moines
where he attended hearing in the
matter.
"This is one Of the most, if not
the most important question now
pending in the Unted State;,' Mr..
Reed declared in speaking Of the Des
Moines hearing.
It is the outgrowth, he explained
of the general hay and grain rate
case, which was decided in favor of
the shippers by the Federal Com
mission last December, and reduced
hay and grain rates approximately
S38,0O0,OO0 annually and restored the
differential which existed before the
war between wheat and coarse grains.
"Because of their lower value and
use," Mr.. Reed explained, "coarse
grains are entitled to lower freight
rate than wheat. The use and value
of commodities have always been fac
tors in rate making. The proposed
increase al; asked for in the applica-
tion of the railroads, simply means
confscation in many instances and |
do not believe it will be allowed"

C. H. Caseber of Des Moines, man
ager of a large grain company, tes-
titled that the high rates now in ef-
feet have restricted operations and
narrowed the company's business
field. '.-t
He declared that grain il; bought
on the basis of its costs delivered to
Des Moines and stated that if the
freight rates were cheaper the pro-
duced would benefit thereby.
A. F. Cleveland, assistant freight
traffic manager of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, who conduct
ed most of the ru's-examination for
the railroads, claimed that from 95
to SO per cent Of the grain business
was interstate, because although it
came to Des Moines and other buy
ing centers on an intrastate rate it
moved out on milling-in-transit, or
