"At 10:30 a. m, on May rs while
the Italia was flying normally at a
height Of 500 meters, suddenly the
weight increased (apparently by
snow and ice forming on the bag }
The airship began a rapid plunge
which it was impossible to halt and
in two minutes it crashed upon the
polar ice pack.
"The cabin and part Of the upper
bracing were torn away while the
bag was carried by the wind in an
easterly direction.
Among the debris on the ice all
the occupants of the cabin were
found miraculously to be alive. Scat
tered on the ice around them was al
most all the material which formed
the cabin.
"Qnly a minute after the plunge.
Mobile and hfs companions cried pas
sionately: Viva Italia

PARTY NOT ON
DEFENSE, SAYS
SOLON MOSES
Will Not Shirk Duty
To Agriculture, De-
clares Chairman In
Acceptance Speech

KANSAS CITY, June 1S.-(P)-De-
claring the republican party would
not shirk its responsibility toward
agriculture, Senator Moses of New
hampshire, as permanent chairman
Of the national convention, told the
assembly today that the party would
enter the campaign "in no posture Of
defense"
"We come up on the field aggres-
sively militant" he said. "We intend
TO cary this fight to the enemy. And
We challenge them to bring forth
their strongest champion.
The honor which you have con-
ferred upon me is very great" the
chairman began, "and l thank you for
IL. The duties which your gener-
Gus actions lays upon me may prove
TO be difficult; but / hope to be able
to perform them satisfactorily.
I'VE come now to the central and
most important tasks for which we
are assembled. First. we are to
formulate a declaration of principles
which will embody the essentials Of
republicanism and with which we
shall submit our cause 70 the people.
In Sympathy With Farmers
Inevitably. in a party thoroughly
national in its vision and contact as
ours is. there will from time TO time
arise differences of opinion. This is
by no means occasion when repub-
licans have found them selves at odds
regarding a question of cardinal con-
sequence as affecting party policy.
Heretofore, we have succeeded always
in settling our difficulties within our
own ranks through that wise spirit
of accommodation which must char
acterize a great and far flung or
ganization like ours. upon which de-
pends so much for the advance and
prosperity Of our country. So it will
be now.
"No one can doubt the essential
sympathy with which the republican
party has always looked upon the
great and diverse interests which
make up the fabric of our national
existence. This sympathetic view
point has not changed. Agriculture
and industry and the social order
continue to be the prime objects of
our solicitude. and in dealing with
them the republican party will not
shirk its responsibility.
I'VE shall. however. now as always,
chart our course within the limits
Of the constitution and within the
operation of sound economic law.
Predicts Victory
"Half a century ago the republican
party stood firm against initiation
through an intimidated issue Of
paper money-and the people stood
with US then.
"a generation ago the republican
party stood firm against o debase-
ment Of our currency through the free

SAYSCOTTON
AIDEDBY Rain
Good Crop to Assure
Financial Condi-
ton of Valley
Especial to The Heraldl


MERCEDES, June 13.-Cotton in
and around this part of the Valley,
and probably cotton throughout the
entire Valley section, was not dam
aged, but has actually ben benefit
ed by the recent rains, according to
w. N. Coe Jr., produce dealer Of this
city.
Mr.. Coe said that several features
OF the cotton crop this year prom
ise to bring about better results
than isual. ore bein~ the slow ap-
pearance Of the weevil.
Zone would think tnat there would
be a heavy outbreak of weevil in
festation, but this has not been
found to be the case" he said. "The
weevils are appearing on the scene
very slowly"
He also said that this year the
farmers of the Valley own consid-
erably more than so per cent Of the
cotton, which is an entire reversal
from last year, when they owned
less than 20 per cent.
There has been very little bor-
rowing of money on cotton in the
Valley thi- year, because the truck
crop was more successful than usual.
and a fairly good crop, which seems
almost certain now, will mean that
farmers will be in a pretty stable
condition at the end Of the cotton
season."
Mr.. Coe expressed the belief that
the Valleys produce this year
brought nearer Sl0,000,O00 than $5.-
100000, which as been estimated in
some sections. He said that the
total return from the 10000 and
more cars would probably be around
$7,500,O00 or $s,000,000.
"The truck season was not as bad
as some people would make il seem.
On the whole the prices were pretty
good, and the yield was unusually
large"

in the hut recently, this theory gen.
orally was secuted.
"A school girl member of a picnic
party found the body yesterday.
The man had been shot to death,
apparently more than two weeks ago.
A rusty pistol lay on the floor.
Identification was made through a
lodge card. a Masonic ring and a
hunting license belonging to Kess-
niger. However, authorities decided
il would be necessary to summon
relatives Of the missing cashier be-
fore positive identity of the body
could be announced.

FORMER OMAHANS
CELEBRATE THEIR SILVER
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Sheridan. Wyo., May Especial
to The Monitor by C. ]. PowelD-Mr-
and Mrs. Anderson Chenault cele-
brated their twenty-fifth wedding an
niversary Sunday evening, April %,
at their beautiful home in Sheridan
Gardens. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Chen
ault are former Omahans, and were
married in 1908. Mrs. Chenault, who
was Miss Eva Watson, was raised and
educated in that city. Mr.. Chenault
is native of Kentucky, fact which
is borne out, as his friends say, by
his good judgment of Kentucky prod
ucts. Immediately after their mar
riage the happy couple established
their home in Sheridan, being among
the first of our group to settle in this
section of the state. An interview
with Mrs. Chenault by the writer re-
vealed the fact that she was maid
of honor at the wedding of the Rev.
John Albert Williams, editor of The
Monitor, and Mrs. Williams, which
she recalls as a very brilliant occa-
sion. Mr.. and Mrs. Chenault have
one son, John Watson, who this year
finishes his sophomore medic year at
the medical school of the University
of Minnesota. The couple were the
recipients of many beautiful silver
gifts. Among the friends who spent
a pleasant evening at their home were
Mr.. and Mrs. Al. Shute, Mr.. and Mrs.
T. H. Newsome, Mr.. and Mrs. Al.
Bell, Miss Virginia Bell, and Mr.. and
Mrs. c. J. Powell.

VISITS LINCOLN

The members of the Order of the
Eastern Star were honored by the
presence of the worthy grand lectnr-
er, Mrs. Hazel Terry Lewis of Omaha,
Neb., Thursday night at joint meet
ing of Princess Hatipha and Anna
ranth chapters.
In the inspirational lecture given
the order, the loyal stand for right,
the earnest effort and search to illus
trate the grandeur of truth and love,
was indelibly stamped upon the
minds of those present.
Much study and deep interest in
the ritualistic work was clearly dem
onstrated by the absence of notes or
books. The worthy grand lecturer
proves valuable acquisition in this
capacity to the order, not only be-
cause of unerring judgment in intri-
cate problems, but in the fact that
there is abiding faith in the principles
offered others.
