MUCH BONFIRE
FUEL Is FOUND
Thousands of Volumes in Chi.
cago Library Which Were
Gifts From Britishers

Chicago, Oct. 24-(AP)-The may.
oral mop swished about the public
library and offices Of the board ol
education today, seeking pro-British
dirt.
The president of the American LII
brary association, Carl b. R0den
who also is head librarian OF the
Chicago library, has offered his as
sistance in Mayor Thompson's effort
to rid the library of books belittling
Americas past performances.
II the mayor is interested only In
destroying history textbooks he may
regard as pro-British, the library is
little concerned, Mr.. Roden said,
because few textbooks ire kept on
the library shelves. II, however,
the mayor objects to anything pro.
British or anti-American, there is
much fuel for the big bonfire which
Mayor Thompson has promised on
the lake shore.
Queen Victoria's Gifts
There are thousands OF volumes, II
was pointed out, which were gifts
Of Queen Victoria and numerous
British writers to help rebuild the H.
brary following the Chicago fire.
There are tho books containing Kud-
yard Kipling's "Peevish ~riticism'
OF the United States, Mrs. Trollope's
"Sneers at American Men and Man
ners" and Charles Dickens "Ameri-
can Notebook" which is far from
flattering.
U. ]. (Sport) Hermann, library
trustee and the mayors chosen
agent in cleaning out the library,
called q meeting Of trustees today
to see what is to be done. Hermann
has estimated that there are 'sev-
eral thousand" volumes in the IL
brary which come unde Mayor
Thompson's definition Of bonfire ma
terial.

NEBRASKAN
IS BITTER IN
HIS ATTACK
Issues Statement at Lincoln,
Vigorously Challenging
Idahoan's Purposes
CALLS HIM INDIFFERENT
Farm States in Better Position
to Obtain Desired Laws
Now, McMullen Says

Washington, Oct. 24-(AP)-Witt
the purposes of one of it's members
vigorously challenged by Governor
McMullen Of Nebraska, the senate's
new combine of western independent
Republicans was called together to-
day in an attempt to remove its diff
ferences on farm legislation.
The Nebraskan's attack. embodied
in statement issued at Lincoln, was
directed at Senator Borah of Idaho
leader in the western bloc, who, said
McMullen, is jeopardizing the sue.
cess of the Republican party in the
coming political campaign, and the
agriculture program as we'll, by q
"widely propagandist movement" to
gain control of western delegates tc
the national convention.
Would Throw Chance Away
The farm states, he declared, are
now in better position to obtain
the legislation they desire than they
have been III years and ito accept
seriously the program which Senator
Borah seems to be heading would
mean throwing this chance away"
Citing what he termed Borah's
"record Uf Indifference" to agricul.
tural needs, 4Ir. McMullen predicted
that should the Idahoan be success
full, it would be at the expense OF
support whifh normally would be
thrown to fdrmer Governor Lowden
or some other western candidate
loyal to .the cause Of agriculture

tion. and afpossible opportunity for

ly disposed. They, he said, have
demonstrated that they want to see
defective farm legislation enacted
In addition to Borah, the group in.
cludes Norris of Nebraska, its choice
for the presidency, Nye and Frazier
of North Dakota and Brookhart 81
Iowa. Their differences on farm
legislation have arisen from the
equalization fee Of the vetoed Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, which proposed
that farm commodities be taxed to
form fund for the purpose of mar.
keting surplus crops.
Borah is determinedly opposed ia
the fee provision and Norris, Nye

Old Orchard, Maine, Oct. 24.-fFJ
= Notwithstanding three failures
after starting transatlantic flight,
Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson was
determined today to make another
attempt to get to Copenhagen in
the monoplane Dawn.
The time for the next atten.p. de-
pends on favorable weather and the
condition of the motor which prac-
tically failed during Sundays flight
after the machine had covered more
than $50 miles Of it's outward trip.
Mrs. Grayson, who is in command
Of the expedition and has as aides
Bricc Goldsborough, navigator. and
Wilmer Stultz, pilot. was undaunted
by the successive reverses and de-
lays which have been their fate for
nearly two months.
The failure Of the left side motor
remained mystery today to
Stultz, pending the time when me-
chanics will have an opportunity to
take it down.
Feared Engine Blow.up
The machine had nearly reached
Sable Island off the tin of Nova
Scotia, when suddenly the motor
made a terrific noise ~and great
quantities of smoke poured out" as
Stultz described the difficulty.
The flyers feared it might blow
up. Goldsborough jumped to the
gasoline release lever and for the
third time the plane was saved by
the speedy release Of part Of its
load Of fuel.
Twice before when the big ship
seemed headed for the waves in
take-offs here, it was righted by the
quick acting release mechanism.
Return to Starting Point
Freed of 260 gallons of gasoline,
the plane rose rapidly and fears
that had led to the sending Of q
hasty S O S message and the max
ing of tentative plans to land in the
water alongside nearby steamship
were found to be premature.
The Dawn was headed back on
zone and a half engines" and the
return trip made without further
incident.
The Dawn hoped off at 6:13
and came back 10 hours later. The
aviators calculated they had GOV.
cred 984 miles.

DAWSON FIRE
DOES DAMAGE
OF 100000
Blaze Starts in Basement Of
Werner General Store Early
Sunday Morning
CAUSE UNDETERMINED

Dawson, N. D.. Oct. 24.-(Special
to the Tribune) - Fire, starting
early Sunday morning, destroyed
half the business district of this
city and did damage estimated at
100000.
Only a small portion Of the loss
was covered by insurance.

ing, and spread to nearby struc-
lures. The restaurant of William
Potter, the r. G. Pryse drug store,
A. G. Cros; real estate office and
the office Of DR.. T. S. Prysc were
burned.
A west wind, coupled with the
fact that the bank building, at the
end Of the burning block, was made
of stone. helped prevent the burn
ing of the entire town. Residents
Of this city formed q bucket bri-
gade' to put out the fire and were
helped by the Steele fire depart
ment. The hotel caught fire five
times, but was saved. The majority
Of the furnishings in the office Of
DR.. Pryse, the restaurant and the
Cross office were saved, hut the
stocks in the Werner store and the
Prysc drug store, were almost total
" destroyed.
The fire was discovered at 1890
a. m. Werner had left the store at
III p. IN. and not untilla passer-by
noticed flames in the basement Of
1.-THE store was the blaze discovered.
By that time, it was too late to pre-
vent the burning Of the block, al
though the fire departments worked
nearly all night to prevent it's TAX
ing the remainder Of the town.
No announcement has been made
by owners of the buildings burned
whether they will rebuild. The
buildings were q total loss.
