At SANTA MONICA

CLOVERFIELD, Santa Monica,
Cal, Sept. 23.-(By the Associated
Press 1.-The three army world cruis-
ing airplanes returned to Cloverfleld
at 2:47 p. m. today, six months and
six days after they left, March IL, to
encircle the globe.
Santa Monica was groomed for
the return of the airmen who last
ST. Patrick's day set out on what
their skill and courage were to make
the first successful around-the-World
flight of history.
AS benefits cOnquerors, the return
ing airmen will alight on field OF
roses; for that is what Clover field
will be when the planes built in
Santa Monica for the world flight
come home to Santa Monica again.
All night trucks laden with flowers
trundied out to the field from COM
munities that had stripped their
gardens to provide a gay and color
full welcome to the filters. From San
Pedro came whole shipload of fra

ZANNI POSTPONES FLIGHT
ON GENERAL LUIS ADVICE
SHANGHAI, Sept. 23.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The flight of Major
Pedro Zanni, the Argentine round
the-world flier, to Shanghai from
Hong Kong, where he arrived yester-
day, has been postponed as result
Of a communication from General
Lu -Hsianm, military governor
of Chekiang province, it was dis
closed today by A. del Carril, the
Argentine consular representative
here.
The request from General Lu urged
postponement of the flight to
Shanghai because of the war.
Del Carril, in protest presented
to the bureau of foreign affairs,
represented that Major Zanni in
/ tended to alight on tn. Whangpoo
river at a point very remote from
the fighting, and insisted that per-
NIT had already been granted for
the Hong Kong-Shanghai flight by
the central government at Pekin.
Del Carril has telegraphed to Ma
jor Zanni to delay his departure
from Hong Kong, but said it was
probable Zanni would proceed de-
spite the protest by General Lu.

pear under a southern California sun
before the scheduled departure of
the three airmen for Santa Monica
at 1880 p. m.
The three filters, Lieutenants Low

Wade, viewed the jump today along
the California coast as a cruise lack
ing the element of risk which char
acterized their flights through un.
charted air lanes in other lands.

CAMP PERRY, o., Sept. "a
special session of the senate commit
tee investigating the department OF
Justice will be called Immediately,
Senator Smith w. Brookhart an
nounced here today.
Senator Brookhart had just receiv-
ed a telegram from Senator Burton
K. Wheeler, authorizing the hear
ing.
Harry NJ. Daugherty. former at
torney general, is to be called be-
fore the reconVened session, Senator
Brookhart said, in an attempt to
sift the truth from the many ru-
mors, charges and counter charges
resulting from Daugherty's open let
ter to John w. Davis and the alleged
reputation statement Of Castor B.
Means.
MORE LIGHT is SOUGHT
By DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Demo
cratic leaders moved today to get at
the facts behind the disputed re-
pudiation of CASTOR b. Means Of his
sensational testimony before the SEN
ate committee which investigated al
legged corruption in the department
of justice under former Attorney
General Daugherty. AS a result the
inquiry is likely to be reopened.
While Democratic leaders have
some faith in Means assertions that
his Reputation" was merely a trap
oh
to keep the matter before the pub
lie, since Daugherty has once more
brought the question of corruption
in government"-the paramount is
sue of John w. Davis. Democratic
presidential candidate--into promi-
nence.
Means undoubtedly would be call
ed to tell his story If the inquiry
were reopened. Democratic leaders,
however, want to have Daugherty
and Means attorney, Thomas B.
Fielder, put on the stand to explain
the circumstances surrounding the
Reputation" and certain documents
said to be in Means possession.
Senator Ashurst wired Senators
Brookhart and Wheeler, chairman
and prosecutor" of the senate
Daugherty committee, as follows:
"In view of the statement of Cas-
ton 3. Means that his reputation Of
his testimony was procured from
him by promises of assistance made
by some friends of Attorney General
Daugherty and in view of the further
fact that Means now urges that the
committee be assembled so that he
may lay before it the circumstances
and reasons leading to his signing
the reputation, l therefore suggest
that a meeting of the committee be
called at once and that all persons
involved in these alleged transactions
be subpoenaed to testify. Kindly ad-
wise me-"
Wheeler is on a tour that will take
him to the Pacific coast and it is
unlikely he will abandon his trip
even to reopen the investigation. SO
if 1t is reopened it probably will be
conducted by Ashurst and Brook

CABINET Of BERLIN
FAvORS Immediate
JOINING Of LEAGUE

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-CBy the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Germany in the near
future will make an effort to enter
the League of Nations on an equal
footing with the great powers, it
was officially announced today in a
communique issued at the close OF
a cabinet meeting.
President Ebert presided at the
meeting, after which the following
communique was issued:
THE question of Germany's entry
into the League of Nations was thor
oughIy discussed, and it was unani'
mously agreed that the efforts of the
German government should be dI-
rected toward Germanys entrance
into the league in the near future.
The governments standpoint in
this respect is prompted by consid-
Grafton of the fact that the ques-
tons dealt with by the League of
Nations especially the protection of
minorities, conditions in the Sarre
region, general disarmament, in con.
nection with carrying out military
of safety and peaceful cooperation
of nations, can be solved nationally
only with Germany's collaboration.
"Germany's collaboration could, of
course. be only that of a great power

ENGLAND CAPITULATES
TO LEAGUES DESIRES
GENEVA, Sept. 23.-(By the Asso
ciated Press. )-Great Britain has
come around, even if reluctantly, to
the position of approving regional
defensive alliances, like those made
by France in central Europe, as an
additional guarantee for the protec-
ton of national territorial integrity.
The proposed protocol on arbitra-
ton and security which was sub
mitted to the disarmament commit
tee of the League of Nations assem-
bly, yesterday automatically will
bring sanctions into play against
any acgressor state, but France,
with the memory of 1914 wildly be
fore her and with active support
from Belgium, fought tenaCiously for
the inclusion of regional alliances
and agreements in the general pro-
tocol.
The British delegates now have ad-
mitted that the absolute prohibition

A quaint and pathetic old will was
copied for abstract in the register of
deeds office here recently. 1t was
made out on Oct. 81, 1862, by Isaac
Walker of Hickory Grove township.
this county, who was leaving soon
| for the front as second lieutenant in
Co. K, 18th Wisconsin Inf. Mr., Walker
sets forth that he believes in the in
finite justice and mercy of Heaven
ly father but realizes that the for
tunes of war are precarious and that
he may die on field of battle or other
wise while in the service of his flag.
With this in mind he leaves his estate
to his beloved wife after setting forth
that all debts must be paid. To his
son, Chas. A., he asks that Bible be
given when the youth reaches the age
of 81. The daughters, Lucia A. and
Mary A. were also to receive a Bible
EACH A brother Manning was to re-
ceive a pair of red four-year-old
steers and a sorrel colt. The will was
filed for record with Judge w. M. Nc
Gonigal, county judge at that time
We are informed that Mr.. Walkers
| forebodings were justified and that he
| lost his life in his country's service
His will, evidencing his inmost feel
ings, was that of a brave and good
man.
The estate of w. H. Pier of Rich
| land Center, filed for record with the
/ Grant county register of deeds, shows
total holdings of $2S6,000 which
makes it one of the largest estates in
southwestern Wisconsin. From To-
cally standpoint the fortune is large
one. Huge land holdings represent
around $225,000 of the estate. Nearly
100000 is in cash or securities. Four
sons, w. F., E. X, A. V. and H. M.
Pier are beneficiaries. The Inheritance
taxes on the cash division of the es-
tate, $59,322.30, amount to $5,237.

DODGEVILLEP.O.
CLERK GETS 6
MONTHS HARD
Chas. J. Bilkey Also Fined
$4,000 for PeculatiOns.-
Pleads Guilty.

MADISON-Charles J. Bilkey, for
mer clerk of the DodgevilIe postoffice,
was sent to the house of correction at
Milwaukee for six months and fined
$4,000 by Judge Claude q. Luse in
United States district court late
Wednesday following plea of guilty
to embezzlement
If he fails to pay the fine he must
serve additional time but at the end
of 80 days he can obtain his freedom
by taking a poor mans oath. The
case has attracted wide attention in
view of the fact that Bilkey used gov
eminent funds to pay the man en-
gagged in conveying mail to and from
the depot who, the defendant contend
ed, was being underpaid. Bikey's ar
rest and Indictment followed thor
ough investigation made by William
Esch. postoffice inspector.
Stanley Ryan, assistant district at
torney, recommended prison term
OF four monts. James McGeever
Dodgeville attorney, pleaded with the
court to be lenient with the prisoner
According to the government B1lkey
embezzled approximately $4,000. Res
titution was made by the postmaster
It developed, according to the federal
officers, that the affairs of the postof-
flee were left mostly in the hands OF
Bilkey and that he paid the man haul
ing the mail $55 a month instead OF
the $40 as provided for in the contract
with the government. Embezzllng OF
the funds in this manner had been
carried on for long period and was
covered up by Bilkey by forging the
postoffice receipts, according to the
governments contention.

NOVEMBER
CROP REPORT
1924 Proves Good Hay and Grain Year
But Poor for Cash Crops.

But Poor Tor Cash crops.
Returns from cash crops in Wiscon-
sin-potatoes, tobacco, cabbage, and
sugar beets-are disappointing this
year, according to the State and Fed
eral Crop Reporting Service at Madi-
son. Canning peas is the single excep-
ton among the cash crops of impor-
lance 1t is explained that the main
program, however, of Wisconsin far
mers of raising hay and grain for live
stock, has been very satisfactory.
Heavy to bumper yields of hay were
general this year. Hay stacks in I'M
common numbers attest to this fact.
Much grain was lost at harvest time,
but yields nevertheless were above
average. To these two crops-hay and
small grains-7096 of the Wisconsin
crop acreage is devoted.
Small Tobacco Harvest
| The report carries review of spe-
cial crops and states that the WiScOn-
sin tobacco crop suffered greatly both
as to yield and quality from cold,
wet growing season. Dane and Rock
county yields were approximately
| 1000 pounds per acre with 900 pounds
! in Vernon county. The state yield is
! $50 pounds compared to a 5-year av-
erage of 1854. Short leaves and rust
damage made the crop of poor quail
| ity. The Wisconsin estimate is 81
million pounds, which is 249o below
! last years harvested crop of 48 mil
lion pounds.
Cabbage Crop 2O9o Below Last Year
In the Racine-Kenosha district
| floods and heavy rains drowned out
parts of cabbage fields and made the
crop late and backward. The yield in
that district is about Z tons and in
Outagamie county s tons. Heads are
small but very hard and of good keep
ing quality. The crop in Wisconsin is
estimated to be 100000 tons or 20%
below last years production of l27,-
900 tons. The New York crop is larg-
er than last year.
Wisconsin farmers planted much
larger acreage of sugar beets this
season and the crop was very promis-
ing in early August This favorable
outlook was lost during two months
of cool wet weather, and small yields
are now being harvested in eastern
Wisconsin where this crop is chiefly
grown. The Wisconsin crop is 15R
below last year on one-third larger
acreage.
Shortage of Glover Seed
New seedlings of clover in central
and western Wisconsin were killed by
drouth a year ago. Glover seed pros
poets were accordingly poor in those
sections In the rest of the state there
was an excellent second growth Of
clover and farmers hoped for gooC
crop of clover seed. Wet weather how
ever encouraged rank growth so thai
seed formation was disappointing
Fields average only IL bushels pei
acre from a small acreage that was
finally cut for seed. The Wisconsin
crop is placed at 1000 bushels, which
is only half of last years production
The total crop for the United States
is likewise extremely small-34@o be,
low last year and only half of the
5-year average crop.
Wisconsin normally ships clover
seed to other states. This year, how
ever, seed dealers are of the opinion
that clover seed will have to Df
shipped into this state.
