WILL SUBMIT BONUS MEASURE
Omaha Legion Members to Urge State
Legislatures Action on Pigeon
hoIed Bill.

Omaha members of the American Le-
gion plan to submit the bill providing
a bonus to World war veterans to the
people by invoking the initiative at the
next general election.
Sponsors Of the measure, which will
be patterned after the Iowa state bO-
nus, say the bill will provide for the
payment of 80 cents per day to every
service man or woman who at the time
of enlistment, was a resident of Ne
braska. There will be a maximum
clause of $3.50. No distinction will be
made between domestic and foreign
service.
The state bonus measure has been
before the Nebraska legislature three
times. In 1919 the legislators dropped
the bonus and passed an emergency re-
lief bill for service men and their fam
lilies. In 1923 the bill passed the lower
house by an overwhelming majority,
only to be held in committee in the
senate without being reported out for
a vote,

MESSAGE SENT BY BALLOON
Letters for Legion Posts, by National
Commander owsIey, Dropped
From Big Bags.

Messages from the air were literally
showered on posts of the American
Legion from National Commander AL
dropped from the basket of one of the
entrants in the national elimination
balloon race. The messages were re-
ceived in a number of Eastern states
over which the balloon passed on it's
400-mile journey over the country.
Anticipating the general direction
the balloons would travel from the ma
tional headquarters city, number of
personal messages from Commander
Owsley were made ready, and the
pilots planned to throw these from the
basket, attached to tiny parachutes, as
they passed over the towns and cities,
later to be delivered to the commander
Of the Legion post in that locality.
The balloon which carried this mes"
sage was entered as "The American
Legionnaire," and was piloted by Capt.
O. e. Mccullough, vice chairman Of
the Legion's national committee on
aeronaHtics Captain Mccullough was
attached to various balloon schools
during the war and made many flights.
He Is now division passenger agent for
the Pennsylvania railway, and in this
capacity handled transportation ar
rangements on the occasion of the
visits Of the king and queen of Bel
GUM, Marshal Foch, the prince of
Wales and other European notables.
Assisting Captain Mccullough was
Lieut.. Carlton F. Bond Of the army
air service now stationed at Aber-
deem proving ground, Maryland,
as a Legionnaire. Lieutenant Bond
has participated in a number Of
balloon races, being in the basket with
Major Westover, who won the 1922
elimination race, which started at Mil
waukee. On this trip the bag landed
In the Province of Quebec, Canada,
$50 miles from it's starting place This
victory entitled them to competition in
the international race for the James
Gordon Bennett cup, which started
from Geneva, Switzerland, but they
were forced down shortly after cross
ing the Alps.
The. balloon used by Captain McCul
Tough and Lieutenant Bond, and from
which the messages from the Leg1on's
head were dropped, was of $4,000 cubic
feet capacity 1t was of the army type
and had been supplied by the COM
manding officer of the Three Hundred
and Eighty-secOnd airship company, G.
H. @. reserves, Third corps army area.
The balloon safely landed at Frank
fort, Pa, a few miles west of Pitts
burgh, in this race, after being in the
air for nearly "A hours. The aeronauts
were forced to land when they encoun-

The Detroit cooperative bakery is

in the government of the business.
Six large bread ovens in the modern,

of bread weekly, besides other baked
goods, amounting TO an average week

includes even refrigerating plant.

RAIL LABOR UNIONS
OFFER REWARD FOR
HARRISON LYNCHERS

Cleveland.--A 81, 900 reward will be
paid by the sixteen standard railway
labor organizations. according to a
statement issued here today by Grand
Chief Warren 5. Stone of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, Chair
man Of the Union Executives Assoc
citation, for information leading TO
the arrest and conviction of the
parties connected with the lynching
OF +. c. Gregor, striking shopman
on the Missouri and North Arkansas
Railroad, at Harrison, Arkansas, last
January. This reward is in addition
to the $1,000 recently appropriated
by the Arkansas State Legislature for
the same purpose.
The decision to offer a further
bounty for the apprehension of the
ringleaders in the Harrison murder
mob is the result of a conference just
held in this city between the eXecu-
tives Of the railway labor organiza-
tons and a committee representing
the striking employees on the Missouri
and North Arkansas Railroad. This
committee asserts that the local au-
thorities are taking no steps what
N'tf w punish VIC itNu itaFeiStOtN
for this crime, that the reign of vio-
lence in Harrison still continues so
that men are assaulted and logged
and driven from their homes for en-
pressing sympathy for organized
labor, and that, in fact, free govern
ment has ceased to exist in several
counties of Northern Arkansas. The
committee brought affidavits showing
that even the administration of JUS
tice in that section has capitulated to
mob rule to the extent that V. ID. Orr
and l.. A. Wise, two former employees
of the Nj. & N. A. Railroad, have
actually been thrown into the state
penitentiary with the consent of a
federal Judge, despite proofs of their
innocence, when the mob commanded
that they confess or be hanged OF
burned alive" for alleged destruction
of railroad property.

BEGIN SECOND WEEK OF CRIMINAL COURT
Many Prohibition Cases Docketed
 For Trial At TrOy

TROY, Ala, Nov. 12.-(Special Leased Wire. )--The second week of the criminal docket of the Pike coun- tv circuit court began Monday morn- ing with Judge A. E. Gamble of Greenville on the bench. This is the third week of the fall term of court, the first being occupied with the civil docket. Many prohibition cases are to be tried during the week and one murder case. The first case to be tried Monday was that of Morgan Ellis and NJ. S. Bullard in connection with an automobile collision. Last February the two young men, riding in car are alleged to have hit the automobile of Mrs. Willie Watson on an embankment near Banks. Mrs. Watson's car was turned over and thrown down the embankment and she was badly hurt. Her little nephew. George Andrews, was with her and he suffered broken leg and minor injuries.
