The Indians chased away tourists

wasted no time in fruitless appeals

Arriving here early in the day from
Nebraska, where he opened his cam
paign west of the Mississippi River,
the Democratic presidential candi-
date was escorted to hotel, where
Gov. Sweet and other leaders of the
Colorado Democracy called on him.
Some of the candidates in the
hotly contested State primary to be
held today sought to have Mr.. Davis
remain here overnight for a series
of additional conferences, but he and
his advisers decided to adhere to the
original program for two days of
quiet in the mountain resort already
selected for the purpose.
State leaders gave Mr.. Davis en-
couraSinG reports on the outlook
here, both as to the Democratic
State and national tickets. On his
part the presidential nominee ex-
pressed satisfaction over the results
of his Western trip and particularly
over the reaction from his Omaha
address. in which he outlined his
farm relief program.
Mr.. Davis does not plan now to
make any set addresses in this State
other than that here Thursday night
in which he will discuss reclamation

rangements have been made, however
for two rear platform speeches dur

officers who later were concerned in
the world flight.
When Lieut.. Wade was designated
to fly one OF the planes on this mo-
mentous flight he picked Ogden for
his mechanician, an enviable position,
which many commissioned officers
would have been glad to fill. When
Ogden left the United States at the
beginning of the fight he was still
staff sergeant. but the machinery of
the War Department was already in
motion to reward him for his excel
lent service and the fine record which
he held. When the fight reached
Shanghai, China, on June 5. 1924, a
cable was awaiting Staff Sergeant
Ogden, announcing that he had been
commissioned a second lieutenant in
the United States Army and would

Mr.. Davis already has given much
study to these subjects and on his
trip here from Denver yesterday

development of the natural resources
found in these mountains.
The 80 miles from Denver was
made by automobile and detour was
taken in order that the candidate
might greet crowds at Longmont and

make speech. but he found such a

mitchell FIELD, n. Y, September
9.-With the plaudits of New York still
ringing in their ears, Lieut.. Lowell H.
Smith and three of his companions in
the Army's round the world flight
gave a series Of intimate sidelights on
their heroic achievement before the
flyers started on the last lap of their
journey.
Out Of the mass of details, given
with a patent modesty, there came to
light for the first time that one Of the
flyers, Lieut.. Ogden, has continued
with the expedition despite a painful
injury. Lieut.. Smith, the fight COM
mander, told the story.
Lieut.. Ogden, he recounted, was in
Lieut.. Leigh Wade's plane when 1t
made it's forced descent into the sea,
after. leaving Kirkwall, in the Orkney
Islands. He was taken on board
the u. S. destroyer Barry, and,
while standing on the bridge Of the
ship, touched a charged iron railing
which was used to ground the antennae
of the crafts radio. The contact
caused an electric spark, and Ogden
was severely burned on the leg.
Lieut.. Ogden is still suffering from
the injury, and on arrival here yester-
day was ordered to the post hospital,
where his leg was massaged. Although
the wound Is still painful, post doctors
said he would be able to continue the
flight this morning.

NORFOLK, Va, September e.-How
IN alien with apparent ease had found
an American battleship a quick method
of coming to the United States without
bothering with passport or immigration
restrictions is question the Navy De-
partment yesterday took steps to
answer. The alien is Baron Arend van
WeSterholt, who was brought here as a
stowaway on the battleship Texas
about two weeks ago when she re-
turned from Gibraltar after the annual
cruise of the Naval Academy mid
shipmen.
The young nobleman, a Holls nder,
who has been held in jail here by
direction of the immigration authori-
ties for deportation, will not sail as
scheduled. A message from the Texas.
he be held as witness in a court
martial TO fix responsibility for his
presence aboard that ship.
How He Lived Mystery.
Some naval officers here from the
first have contended that the baron's
story that he boarded the Texas
without help, hid himself in the hold
of the ship and lived two weeks on
chocolate, would bear investigation.
but there was no expla anatioa here as
to the eleventh hour request for delay
in deporting the young advknturer.
There were reports, however that
the immigration authorities at Wash
ington had called the case to the at
tention of the Navy Department, and
that Secretary Wilbur had ordered the
| investigation. Rumors here were that
some OF the young midshipmen as
| lark had smuggled the baron aboard
ship. The stowaway himself refused to
say how he obtained water during his
period of hiding, but did say he was
nicely treated after he had been found.

flight is over Ogden says he will ind
himself out of the Army, as he prob
ably will be placed back in the re-
served list. What he will do will be
decided later.
Few officers in the air service have
received more disappointments than
Lieut.. Smith. He was selected for the
Alaskan flight and was ready to come
East when the orders were revoked
and his place was given to some one
else. Then he was picked to fly in
the Gordon Bennett races in Paris d
few years ago and had made final
preparations for going when another
officer was chosen in his stead. He
also had been informed that he was
to go on the Porto Rfcan flight and
for a third time he was left out. 1t
seemed that the West wasn't getting
much of a chance. When he was in
formed that he was to make the light
around the world he had learned by
this time to not be overjubilant. In
stead of giving up hope of progress in
the flying branch of the Army after
having been left behind on such
choice assignments he pitched in to
an idea of refueling in flight. One
day Gen. Patrick visited Rockwell
Field and Lieut. Smith requested per-
mission to put the idea into practice.
The general agreed and the net result
was that he and his pal, Lieut.. Rich
ter, stayed in the air in 4 De Havi-
land observation plain for more than
81 hours. Further, he flew from the
border of Canada to Mexico in 10
hours without a stop by taking on
fuel from another plane.
From Alaska to Brough, England,
Arnold was known as Sergt. Turner.
mechanic of the Chicago. Sergt-
Turner was selected by Lieut.. Smith
when plans had been made to carry
four sergeants with the four officers
at the beginning of the flight. Ac-
cordingly, ''Sergt. Turner" appeared
on the side of the plane under Lieut..
Smiths name when Arnold succeeded
him at Seattle. At 'Brough the flyers
were idle many days waiting for the
Navy escort, so Arnold got his tirst
opportunity to reveal his correct
identity to foreigners by painting his
own name beneath that of Smiths.
