Flying Parson Loses PFay
In ( loads; Engine Fails
Only 55 Feet Above Field
BY MEDORA FIELD
Lost in the clouds with the flying
parson! ! !
-There simply aren’t enough ex
clamation points on the typewriter,
or words in Mr. Webster’s unabridged
to do justice such an adventure. Fly
ing, fifteen thousand feet up in the
air* at the rate of one hundred and
ten miles per hour, with the most fa
mous aviator in the world, Lieuten
ant B. W. Maynard, winner of the
international race, from New York to
Toronto, and of the transcontinental
flight, and flying in the selfsame De
Haviland 4, four hundred horse pow
er, in which he won the latter race,
surely that was enough .... with
out our getting lost while up above
the clouds, and finally after sailing
over countless small towns, all dis
concertingly alike from such an an
gle, seeking almost vainly a place
to land, and finally landing in an oat
patch six miles from Cedartown.
And after all that, which trans
pired between the time of the “take
off” Wednesday from Candler Field
at exactly 12:25 by my wrist watch,
< which is always fast, and 4 o’clock of
C the same afternoon, and we finally
hove into sight of Candler Field
again, I had the pleasure of looking
death squarely in the face, only it
happened that I didn’t recognize the
lady. Lieutenant Maynard thought
that was the best joke of all. We
were skimming along about fifty feet
above the tree tops, making ready for
the descent, when presto, the gas
gave out, and the engine stopped.
y The watchers at Candler Field held
their breath. Disaster seemed cer
tain. They tell me that no other
pilot could have managed the cool
manipulations by which the dare
devil parson barely missed the . nal
fringe of tress and brought us taxi
ing up the runway of the field. It
was over in a twinkling. I don’t
know how he did it. He tried to tell
me afterward, but even then I
couldn’t get H straight. What

can you expect when I didn’t
even know. the engine had stopped?
So many things had happened that
I expected anything.
Trip Lasted Three Honrs
‘•We'll be back in about half an
hour,” Lieutenant Maynard told Col
onel B. M. Bailey, just before the
take-off. The lieutenant came to At
lanta, you see, to stimulate interest
in recruiting men for the army. The
army now offers some wonderful op
portunities to men in the way of
vocational education, promotion,
travel, etc. I was going out and
fly with the flying parson, and write
a feature story for the Sunday maga
zine section in the interest of re
cruiting. The photographer went
along and posed us nicely together.
Thus we planned, but so much hap
pened not in the program, that it
turns out to be a news story in
stead. You can’t abduct a celebrity
like the flying parson for three mor
tal hours longer than promised, and
have Colonel Bailey and the whole
recruiting office, to say nothing of the
city hews room of your own paper,
making frantic inquiries in all direc
tions, confident that the worst has
happened . . . and keep it a secret
for a week.
It happened, I think, because I
tried to appear just a little blase.
‘‘You’ll have to really put on some
frills,” I told him, "to make it in
teresting for me, because I looped the
loop with Bob Shank only a -week or
so ago. You’ll take me over the
city and up above the clouds, won’t
you?”
Two minutes after we left the
ground I almost regretted my rash
ness. Volplaning, I think they call
it, anyway, we turned completely
sideways, first on one side and then
on the other, several times, and all
the time I felt exactly as though
I was hanging on to the universe
by one eyelash.
We sailed in the direction of At
lanta, upward always. I looked at the
recording gauge: 4,000 feet and still
climbing. Fascinated, I watched it
crawl to six, seven, eight and nine
thousand, and all the time the earth
below was getting hazier and hazier,
until finally, 10,000 feet, when I
locked down, there was nothing be
low, nothing above us, nothing any
where but silver blue mist! An aerial
body we were indeed, cut off from
earth, cut off from everything. And
still we climbed upward!
Fifteen thousand feet! Mars next
stop! Just wait until the "Going Up
club” hears about this, I thought.
110 Miles an Hour
I looked at the speedometer. One
hundred and ten miles an hour! We
were simply cutting through the air.
The wind whistled viciously. And in
spite of my goggles and the heavy
leather helmet strapped about my
head, my ear drums were like to
burst. It was a physical pain so acute
that I wanted to cry out. I wondered
if I could speak. I opened my lips,
but no words came, even if I could
have heard myself above the rush
and roar. And then, somehow, in
that moment of panic, a sickening
thought took root in my mind. Some
thing was wrong with the electric
wires, and I was being electrocuted!
There was an opening in the bottom
of the machine that let the air in
uncomfortably, and gave me cold
feet; otherwise I had been quite com
fortable, wrapped up In my own and
one of the parson’s leather coats. My
feet seemed getting warmer, and my
face was tingling as from an on
slaught of ten million electric
needles. And all the time the agony
in my head waxed fiercer. Yes, I was
being electrocuted, and when Lieu
tenant Maynard landed —if he ever
did—they would find me strapped in
the electric chair. All would be over.
Then when I suppose I should have
been sayißg my prayers, or chanting
Tosti’s good-by, those perfectly ab
surd lines from “Longboy” popped
into my head:
“Goodbye maw, goodbye paw,
Goodbye mule with your old hee
haw —”
That settled it.
We had been up above the clouds
about forty minutes.’Slowly we be
gan to descend. What town it was 1
do not know. At first I thought it
was East Point, put we must have
sailed over a dozen that offered no
more individual signs by which one
might distinguish it. I realized that
we were lost. Below was a river.
We began to follow it, at a speed of
about ninety miles per hour. It
may have been the Chattahoochee,
and it may have been the Coosa. Any
way, they told us, when we landed
that we had come from the direc
tion of Alabama and were only
eleven miles from the state line, so
it must have been the Coosa. /,
Landed In Oat Fateh
Closer and closer to the earth we
came, almost touching the tree tops,
it seemed, and finally made a beau
tiful landing in the aforesaid oat
patch.
Lieutenant Maynard bobbed up in
the seat and cast me a backward
glance. We laughed simultaneously.
“I’m still here,” I said, “Where are
we?” *
“That’s what. I’d like to know.”

be answerd, and then we laughed
again. “A good field is hard to
find around in this part of the coun
try.”
“Why, you’ve had one in the ma
chine all the time,” said I, It was
a perfectly rotten pun.
There was not a human being on
the horizon. We seemed as com
pletely isolated as we had been when
15,000 feet up in the air. Far off
to the right was a barn. Far off
to the left was a log cabin corn
crib, guarded by a big tree, shorn
of all Its Lieutenant May
nard set off in the direction of the
corn crib.
I unstrapped the belt that held
me into the seat, and perched up on
the side of the plane. My wrist
watch was still doing service and
told me that it Was 3 o’clock. It
was a perfectly ridiculous situation.
We might be five miles out of At
lanta, and, well, we might be 500.
It was piquant not to know.
Ten minutes later the lieutenant
and several men hove into view.
Before they reached the plane, how
ever, several of the natives came
up from an opposite direction.
“What place is this?” I asked,
oh, very casually.
“Polk county, six miles from Ce
dartown.”
f If t l ! '
Crowds and Questions
In five minutes more there were
at least 100 spectators, women and
babies, men, boys, dogs, cats, the
women all wearing faded sunbon
nets, Whence and how they came
so quickly I don’t know. They asked
questions, of course. ■■ ' 1 made me
feel terribly important by mistaking
me for a real aviator. I got lots
of good lead questions for future
interviews. For instance:
“How much does an airship like
this here cost?’’
I had to confess my ignorance.
“Th’s plane cost the government
$18,000,” said Lieutenant Maynard
politely. “I don’t know what one
would cost now. It has the Liberty
motor that you have heard so much
about."
“Where do you sit when it rains?”
One woman wanted to know of me.
And about that time several Air
drops of rain peppered down, and
I looked at the lieutenant question
ably- „„ t
“Suppose it should rain? he said.
We laughed. “That would be a
story,” said I.
The nearest telephone or garage,
they told us, was three miles dis
tant. Some one brought a bucket
and funnel and the parson tested out
his oil supply. There was enough,
he said. How well he calculated
that gas supply, how we came in
on less than one minute’s margin,
I’ve already told j£ou.
At twenty-five Waui.es to 4 we
took off again, and at 4 o’clock we
made our thrilling descent at Chand
ler field, covering the sixty-five miles
in twenty-five minutes.
We rode back to town in one of
the staff cars, the lieutenant and I
on the front seat, the photographer
and the sergeant in the tonneau.
Colonel Bailey had returned to town
at 2 o’clock and turned in the alarm.
Automobile Seemed Tame
"Doesn’t this motor seem tame?”
asked the lieutenant.
“Anything would seem tame after
that,” I answered. "You know,” I
went on, "you don’t seem at all like
a famous person I’ve read about or
just some one I’ve met this morning,
but like some one I’ve known all my
life. I suppose it couldn’t be any
other way after going through so
much together.”
“No,” he agreed, “and you are ten
years older in experience than you
were this morning.”
Lieutenant Maynard went into the
air service in 1917, and served eight
een months in France as test pilot
at Romorantin, near Tours. He
thinks flying the sport of kings, and
says that aeroplanes will be in gen
eral use, and we won’t think much
more about them than we do auto
mobiles, in the next five years.
“Once,” he said, “you could hardly
persuade a man to go up with you.
Now they nearly all are anxious to
try It.”
I asked him to tell tne the most
absurd and most common question
that people ask aviators.
"People usually want to know,” he
said,, “what would happen if I were
flying over a mountain, lake or for
est, and the motor were to quit run
ning. Many people have the idea
that if the motor stops the plane will
be immediately hurled to the ground.
The answer that one of th aviators
gave to a lady on the western trip
was this: “Well, madame, that is
the sad part of it. I do not like to
have anything to say about these
matters, because they make me feel
bad. Just think of the many of my
friends who while flying over the
Rocky mountains have had their
motor to stop on them. The poor un
fortunate fellows’are still up there,
perishing.”

ADVOCATES HOOVER
AS PARTY NOMINEE
(Continued from Page 1)
easily called together. It is well es
tablished practice and good practice
for the executive committee to dele
gate to a sub-committee certain rou
tine duties in connection with the
holding of primaries.
“Thus the authority of the sub-'
committee goes back to the com
mittee. The authority of the com
mittee goes back to the convention.
The authority of the convention goes
back to the mass of the members
composing the party. In the mass
rests the sovereign authority. No
authority exists in the convention,
the committee or the sub-committee
except .the authority deleglated to
them by the members of the party.
Qualifications for Voting
“The subcommittee has a perfect
right to close the door of the pri
mary to all except members of the
party, so far as voting is concerned.
Otherwise the primary would ba
open to everybody and we would lose
our Democratic identity. But right
at that point I take a divergent view
from some of my brethren. They
contend that the subcommittee’s au
thority goes to the point of allow
ing us to vote upon this man and
refusing to allow us to vote upon
that man. And in that position,
which is taken by the subcommit
tee in this particular primary, it
is established, or attempted to be
established, a precedent which de
stroys the sovereignty of the voter.
In other words, it becomes a case
where the creature dictates to the
creator.
“The exercise of the individual’s
preference in the primary is a sov
ereign right. That is to say, all
who are admitted to vote in the pri
mary must necessarily be allowed to
vote as they see fit. Otherwise the
primary bcomes a farce. The sub
• committee within itself has no au
thority delegated to it by the mem
bers of the x party, whose will is
sovereign within the party.
“Members of the party have the
right to call to their leadership any
man. Their choice of leadership is
a sovereign choice. They are the
supreme judges of the question
whom they shall call to their own
leadership. If they wish to call a
man who has not previously been
identified with their party, that is
their right, and no subcommittee
no committee, no convention, is au
thorized to prevent the exercise of
that right.
“Often our parties have (Sailed to
leadership men not previously iden-
tified with them. Before the Civil
war the Whigs called General Zach
ary Taylor, who had not been iden
tified with any party. After the
war the Republicans called Grant, who
had been a lifelong Democrat. Aft
er the war the Democrats called
Greeley, who had been a Republican.
Bule Governing Petition
“Os course it is necessary to have
some rule for the placing of names
upon the ballot by petition. It would
be out of the question to allow any
single voter to place upon the bal
lot the name of any man he wished
his brother Democrats to vote upon.
So we have a rule, in this particular
case, that 100 Democrats must peti
tion for a name to be placed upon
the ballot. This number is not arbi
trary. It might have been 500 or
1,000. It is a reasonable and proper
rule and nobody objects to it, for
the necessity for it is manifest.
“Not 100, but several hundred
Democrats have applied for the name
of Herbert Hoover to be placed upon
the ballot of our presidential pri
mary. ’They are confronted with the
proposition that his name shall not
go on—because, forsooth, he is not
a Democrat, or declines to swallow
some empty phrase. In other words,
-they are told that neither they nor
any other members of the party
shall be allowed in their own primary
to exercise their sovereign right to
choose their own leader. Os course
such a ruling by the subcommittee
is indefensible. It cannot be sustain
ed. It is a manifest attempt by the
creature to exercise authority vested
solely in the creator.
“But while the subcommittee has
no such authority, it undoubtedly
has the power. Its position enables
it to exercise a power beyond its
authority. Thus it is guilty of an
abuse of authority. And we are
obliged to bow to that abuse, if it
be persisted in, because we are mem
bers of the party organization, and
believe in staying inside of the
party in spite of mistakes and
wrongs, and correcting those mis
takes inside and not outside.
“Must Bow—Frotestingly”
"I can protest against this abuse
of authority, but I cannot attempt
to over-reach the rules laid down by
the sub-committee. That is to say,
being a regular Democrat, I cannot
write on my ballot the name of any
man not printed on it by the sub
committee. I am obliged, therefore,
if the sub-comittee persists in its
abuse of authority, to make a second
choice among those whom I am al
lowed to vote upon.
“The sub-committee’s mistake pro
ceeds from the false premise that the
.voters shall always *be limited, in
making their nominations in their
primary, to a choice among those
who seek their nomination. I go
beyond this presidential primary and
assert the proposition that in every
primary there should be provided a
method whereby a reasonable number
of voters may place upon the ballot
any name they choose. In other
words, the primary ought to leave
open away for the office to seek the
man, instead of confining the pri
mary to a choice between candidates
who are seeking the office. Some
men naturally do not want public of
fice, and often they make the very
finest type of public servants. But
we make it necessary, by our primary
system, for men to seek office.
“Mr. Hoover is not seeking the
Democratic nomination for president.
Neither is he seeking the Republican
nomination. He makes his position
perfectly clear. He contends that the
American people are capable of
choosing their own leadership, in
either party, without having candi
dates manufactured for them. He
stands ready to serve if really called,
but he will not do anything or say
anything to invite or solicit such a
call. He very frankly states that
he does not want public office, but
prefers to be a private citizen. It
is conceivable to my mind that a
man can be honest and sincere in
that attitude, but apparently it is
inconceivable to the minds of some
men. The sub-committee insists
upon making an issue with Mr. Hoov
er, but the issue is between the sub
committee and the members of the
Democratic party in Georgia, from
whom the subcommittee derives its
authority.
“Mr. Hoover’s Strength.”
“The great and growing sentiment
for Mr. Hoover is one of the most
remarkable things that ever happened
in American politics. There is every
evidence, with the lights now before
me, that thousands of good Demo
crats all over the country want him
as their standard-bearer in the next
presidential campaign; and also evi
dence that thousands of independent
voters will support him in preference
to any other candidate mentioned in
either party.
“It is most unusual for such a
widespread and pronounced senti
ment to express itself in favor of a
man who has done nothing to pro
mote it, who is not seeking support,
who does not want public office, who
declines to do or say anything that
will make him a candidate, who re
serves the right to vote as he be
lieves will be best for the interests
of his country.
“Surely it would not be contended
that the New York World has manu
factured the Hoover sentiment. When
the World came out for him, I was
curious to know whether it was the
first move in an organized propa
ganda, or the expression of one edi
toial opinion, or the expression of a
widespread sentiment that had been
dormant up to that time. There is
every indication that the World gave
expression to a nation-wide senti
ment, for Mr. Hoover himself has
done nothing to assist the World or
any other supporter, editorial or per
sonal, but, on the contrary, has de
clined to seek the nomination, and
yet the sentiment has gone on grow
ing all over the country.
“Which means ,to my mind, that
Mr. Hoover is our most availaole
standard-bearer. Surely if we want
to win the next election we should
place in nomination our most avail
able man.
“Os course, if the primary is forced,
down to a choice between Balmer
and Reed, I shall vote for Palmer.”

COTTON
NEW YORK, March 12.—1 relatively
strong market for cotton at Liverpool this
morning was attributed to the decline in
sterling exchange and early fluctuate >ns
here were irregular. Tlie opening was
steady at an advance of 15 points to a de
cline of 3 points, with active positions sell
ing about 9 to 20 points lower during I lie
first few’ minutes. May eased off to 36.44.
while new crop positions were relatively
easy with October selling at 31.35 under
realizing, Wall street and southern selling.
Prospects for clearing weather in the eovth
may have contributed 'o the decline, but
immediate weather conditions were unfa
vorable and the market steadied up before
the end of the first hour on renewed covcr
ering, with May selling at 36.64 and October
at 31.52.
There was probably some buying on the
report of a prominent southern authority in
dicating domestic consumption for February
of 521,000 bales, against 443,000 last year,
but business was much less active than yes
terday, witii sentiment unsettled by talk of
an easier technical position and easier ex
change rates. Except for realizing, no pres
sure of consequence developed, but prices
sagged off after the early rally, with May
ruling around 36.55 c shortly after midday,
or within 2 points of last night's closing
quotations, while October sold at 31.41 c, or
14 points net lower.
The report that only two votes were
needed for ratification of the treaty brought
a sharp rally at the end of the fourth
hour. The ring which had been against the
market in the morning reversed its posi
tion and prices were quickly bid up 25 to
43 points from Thursday’s close. May made
a new high on the move at 36.90.
Exports for the day were 43,471 bales.
21.613 going to Great Britain; 11,441 to
the continent and 10,417 to Japan and
China.
The market showed increased activity and
■ strength during the middle of the after
noon on renewed general buying which seem
ed to be stimulated by reports of more fa
vorable prospects for the peace treaty.
Both March and May made new high rec
ords with March selling at 40.00, or even
with the high -price touched last Decem
ber. Later months showed net advances
of 38 to 48 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Marell 12.—First trades
in the cotton market today were higher on
the wet weather in the belt and around the
call the market gained 7 to 17 points. Al
most immediately the market ran into sell
ing of importance, based on the slump of
about 7 cents in the rate of sterling ex
change, and there was a fall to levels of
5 to 11 points under the close of yesterday.
This was followed bya recovery and an
advance on May to a level of 12 points
over yesterday’s close on the forecast of
much colder weather for the yestern belt.
The advance in May continued until it
amounted to 20 points,, but finally offerings
became heavy enougli ’to cause a reaction
and late in the morning prices were at net
advances of but 1 to 13 points. Selling was
due mainly to the reaction downward, in
the foreign exchange market.
Rumors that the peace treaty had been
ratified and the large mill takngs for the
week, 262,000 bales, aganst 162,000 ths
week last year, put the market strongly
Jigher. At 1 o’clock the tradng months ware
35 to 48 ponts over the fnal quotatons of
yesterday. ,

in sterling exchange is become very strong

and the very large mill takings for the
week, 262,000 bales, against 162,900 this
week last year and 170,000 this week two

JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La., March 12.—Liver
pool today came about 30 points higher than
due on yesterday’s variation in our markets,
but there is no more regular relation of
action between the markets, and as we have
been advancing recently where Liverpool de
clined. it was thought that reverse action
was likely now that Liverpool advanced.
Spot prices are 55 up, sales 5,000 bales. The
map presented much better conditions than
were expected on yesterday’s forecasts.
Generally cloudy for the belt, practically no
rain for the western half of the belt and
the greater part of the Atlantics, but gen
eral precipitation in parts of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Ten
nessee, heavy in localities. Indications
are for clearing, colder, preceded by rains,
northeast quarter of belt. The outlook is
for improvement in conditions for crop
work- The market opened unchanged to 15
up on more buying on the higher Liverpool
on rains in the belt, but dropped 20 to 30
points soon after the first' call on the
break in the sterling rate and the outlook
for clearing, colder weather. The market
recovered the early loss, but support was
less active and reactionary disposition more
pronounced, probably in consequence of the
government forecast for clearing, colder
weather for the belt. Liverpool lost the
early advance as the sterling rate rallied to
370%. Comporison of mill takings this
afternoon are expected bullish. Spot people
report some scattered export demand for
lower grades, the first sign of beneficial :
effort of advance on the exchange rate.

most vigorous speeches of the day.
He told of the immense handicap
under which the transportation busi
ness of the United States was con
ducted in the great war, ascribing
the fact largely to a “pernicious
system of concentrating at a few
North Atlantic ports our export and
import trade. All the great trunk
lines of our railroad system led from
those ports and ramified the country.
All the lesser lines, east, west and
south, were made tributary to tljose.
Therefore, when the necessity arose
for immediate mobilization and
transportation of this almost un
thinkable volumd of traffic, the logi
cal result was congestion, confusion,
demoralization and incalculable loss
of time and money.
“The reactionary force of this de
plorable condition was disastrously
felt in every department of our in
dustrial life. Ships could not find
berths in these ports, loaded cars
could not be unloaded, empty cars
that had been unloaded actually
could not be taken out because of
the blocking of the tracks and ter
minals by loaded cars that had later
arrived, causing a dearth of rolling
stock both for domestic purposes
and for transporting to the ports
export stuff. In a word, the condi
tion of these ports was such that
you could not get loaded cars in
nor empty cars out.

crlbed fuel troubles of 1917-18 large
ly to demoralized transportation con
ditions, which in turn he attributed
in a large measure to neglect of
southeastern ports and congestion in
the northeast. He declared south
Atlantic ports capable of as full
development as north Atlantic, nor
are the former blocked by ice in
winter.
“Take a line running from Chi
cago to Norfolk, Va., west of the
lines east of the Rocky mountains
in the vast territory comprising a
vast percentage of its manufactur
ing industries,” said Senator Smith.
“The entire territory comprising
two-thirds of the continent, is nat
urally tributary to the South At
lantic and gulf ports and yet, ac
cording to statistics, practically
entire products for export of fielfc,
forest, factory and mine are carried
right by the door of the South At
lantic and gulf ports across the con
tinent to these North Atlantic ports.
This necessarily entails a tremen
dous tax on the producer of the raw
material and the finished product,
consumes an unnecessary amount of
power, rolling stock and causes de
lay.”
During the entire history of the
government’s activities in developing
American ports for naval and com
mercial use, there has been expend
ed north of Cape Hatteras for docks
and other shipping facilities more
than $600,000,000, this in distance
of considerably less than 1,000 miles
of seacaast, while south of Hatteras
to the Mexican border, a distance of
more than 2,000 miles, only ,about
$60,000,000 has been . expended for
such purposes. North of Hatteras,
he pointed out, are seventeen docks;
south of Hatteras only two docks.
