6 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 DontSend a Penny' ffioys’ Outfit Bargain!

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.

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.” lifelong’democrat 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.” Atlanta Markets ATLANTA, Ga., March 12.—Cotton by wagon, steady, 41.60 c.

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.

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.

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. SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920. FAIR PLAY IS DEMANDED FOR SOUTHEAST PORTS (Continued front Page 1) 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.

Classified Advertisements 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.
