The Bremen had been kept
throughout the night under guard in
a sealed hangar SO no one could
tamper with it.
The machine was filled with a
special German petrol, brought
from Tempelhofer Field by two Ger.
man engineers.
When fully loaded and ready for
flight the plane will weigh five tons.
Keen interest has been aroused In
the flight and a humber OF visitors
went to the AIrdrome during the day
to get 4 glimpse of the plane. Every
inch of available space upon the
machine Is being used for petrol 1t

apparatus for emergency In event

B|LBO CITES RUMOR
IN WIRE TO HOOVER
Mississippi Governor Explains
Dancing Report and Ques-
tionS Candidate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. October 25.-In a
telegram to Herbert Hoover yesterday,
Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo said his infor-
nation regarding reports that the Re-
publican presidential candidate had
danced with colored woman was
based on rumor and he had so stated
in his speech. He then asked Mr.
Hoover to say whether he thought it
was indecent" to dance with negro
woman. The telegram follows:
In reply to telegram of the 10Th
inst. given to the press by your per-
sonal representative. Mr.. George Aker-
son, and which telegram 1 presume
meets with your approval. desire to
say that the statement that you had
danced with Mary Booze in Washing
ton was made by me on common rumor
and so stated in my speech in Men,
phis, Tenn.
Gives Basis of Speech.
The rur1ors had been current in
Mississippi for some time that Mary
Booze stated after returning from a
meeting of the Republican national
committee in Washington that she had
danced with Mr.. Hoover. This state
ment was repeated in public speech
in the City of Jackson by another
party, and 1t was upon this informa-
tion that I made the statement in
question in my speech in Memphis.
Nothing was said about your dancing
with Mary at Mount Bayou.
L notice that you. through your
secretary. brand the statement that YOU
danced with Mary as the most indecent
and unworthy statement in this whole
bitter campaign. and you state further
that for any person to vote against YOU
upon representation of this kind would
forever be most infamous blot upon
the record of the State of Mississippi
Now / do not desire to be unfair to
YOU in the slightest degree. but / want
to fisk you If you think it would be Of
fenSive to you or indecent, infamous or
dlsgraceful for you to come in contact
with or dance with a woman of the
colored race.
II. according to your ideas of social
equality. you do not think it indecent
or infamous to have it said of YOU that
you danced with Mary Booze. mem
Der OF the colored race, then why do YOU
get exercised and all heated up when
it is said of you that you danced with
Mary Booze? If you do not consider 1t
indecent to meet socially or dance with
colored person. why am / being de-
nounced for repeating the story that
you had done so?
Requests Answers.
please answer these questions that
people can know from your own lips
whether or not have done you an
injustice. You owe it to the people to
answer these questions before the elec-
tion, and I trust that your answer will
not be as evasive and ambiguous as your
position on SO manv other public ques-
tons in this campaign
Answer these questions frankly.
Put your cards on the table Republican
Office seekers have 'buncoed' the colored
voters long enough with sheer promises
for political purposes. You say that the
Democrats favor tariff for revenue only.
Judging by past performances. the Re-
publican party is for the colored race
for offices only.
The American people will wait
anxiously for your full and frank reply"
