GREAT AIR FUTURE

Location of Lpngren Plant

Local Builder Hopes To

Airplane production and

pleasure service will make more rapid progress
than has the automobile. That was
the statement today of A. K. Longren.
head of the new half million dollar
Lonltren Aircraft corporation. Lon
gren. whose air record in Kansas and
in government service has attracted
attention, will go in for production
of licht one and two-passenger planes.
lie -leolares these machines will soon
be on the market at prices competitive
with those quoted by automobile
manufacturers.
It Is probable that Longren will de
cide in a short time as to the location
of a plant which he declares will
within a year reach a maximum pro
duction of twenty-five planes a day.
At this time Longren is considering.
Tnpfka and Kansas City. He believes
the opportunity for development of the
air service lies in the middle west and
not in the east.
Vital Importance to Topeka in
aerial service concerns the location of
the Longren industry. It may deter
mine the location of an air stationat
Topeka for transcontinental mail de
livery. 'In addition to securing a posi
tive and recognized station on the -air
ma p. Topeka would be given oppor
tunities for development as an aerial
center.
Would Establish Held.
Longren's plan at this time is for
the location of a flying and demon
stration field in connection with the
plant proper.. Under the plan which
longren has presented to the -state
charter board, J300.000 of the capital
of the new aircraft corporation would
be used in establishing and equipping
a plant for the building of parts and
assembling -of planes.
"The airplane will make more rapid
progress In gaining public approval
than has the automobile," said Lon
gren. "I believe the one and two
seater will prove the popular plane for
general business and pleasure pur
poses. It will be light and not too
llght--and will be moderate priced."
Longren's plan is the production In
Kansas of a plane which will attain
and hold an air speed of 100 miles an
hour and will make a landing speed
of thirty miles. The machines will
be one and two-seaters, and will weigh
less than 500 pounds.
"The plane will be equipped so that
landings may be had on public high- j
Ya niiimui tiniiKer iu operators ana
passengers," said Longren. "I be
lieve every part of the machine has
been made as nearly perfect as pres
ent day aircraft construction permits."
And Longren made this statement
with knowledge of scores of makes of
domestic and foreign planes which
were tested while he was an officer at
McCook flying fields. Dayton, Ohio.
Kmploy Number of Bird Men.
Under the Longren plan a number
of bird men would be employed in
connection with the production In
dustry. The flyers would be employed
as demonstrators and instructors. It
is probable that an 'aerial instruction
school similar in many ways to motor
car schools, would be established in
connection with the industry. Lon
gren declared that a plant such as he
proposed to establish would, within a
year, employ not less than 300 men.
He
said a capacity production for
such a plant would mean an output of
twenty to twenty-five machines a day.
"The average person is not aware of
the developments which are being
made In aircraft." declared Longren.
"The plane of today is even safer than
the automobile. Accidents seldom oc
cur except where spectacular and haz
ardous stunts are tried. If a man ap
plied himself to his plane with the
same caution used by a careful motor
ist, air- accidents would be most rare."
It Is Longren's plan to submit two
models of his plane to the government
at an early date, filx of his machines
are already in use In the United States
One man bought a machine - and
shipped it to Texas three years ago
Recently Longren received a letter
asking prices for a second plane. An
other plane was sent to Colorado and
until .-. year ago was the only machine
to make successful flights In that
state.
Ilia Plunes Successful.
The late Lieut. Phil Billard used a
Longren made machine In a flight to
Kansas City several years ago.. The
trip was made in 32 minutes as against
a recent record by mnchlnes in the
government's flying circus of forty
minutes from Topeka to the mouth of
the Kaw.
A thousand dollar machine will be
possible, Longren believes, as soon 'as
production reaches an established
standard.
"And If there is any doubt as to the
neniana ior business and pleasure
planes," said the Topekan, "It might
not be amiss to mention that everv
producing company In the United
States has sold" their output up to the
middle of this summer." '

Yankee Goes Down
After a Collision.
Three Other Craft Damaged in
Accidents Off Xew York.
BEACH CRIPPLED TRANSPORT
Graf Waldersee Rammed Sev
eral of Crew Injured.
All Hands Are Transferred -to
Rescue Ships.
New York, June 12. One sh'p was
sunk and three others damaged in
collisions in a. thick fog off New York
harbor during the night, according to
wireless messages received here today.
The steamer Yankee, a United States
shipping board vessel of 2.148 tons,
went down after crashing into the
off
Italian steamer Argentina,
Island. The Argentina was damaged
She saved all hands from the Yankee
and will transfer them to the Cardinal
lightship.
The Kedondo after the accident ar
rived here uncrer her own power at 6
o'clock with bows slightly stove in.
The crew of the Graf Waldersee and
the few passengers were safe on the
Patricia, according to wireless reports
to the naval communication office
here. t
The Redondo, which is under con
trol of the United States shipping
board and used as a cargo transport,
-was bound for New York from Cette,
France. Bhe has nine army officers
aboard. Details of the collision were
slot available here early today.
New York, June 12. The transport
Graf Waldersee, formerly one of the
crack passenger liners of the Hamburg-American
line, which was ram
med last night by the steamship Re
dondo, was beached shortly after 11
o'clock this forenoon on the sands of
Long Beach, L. I.
The 13.000 ton transport Graf Wal
dersee, was beached at Long Beach,
N. Y.. today after having been
rammed in collision with the cargo
ship, Redondo, in a dense fog off
Sandy Hook.
The Waldersee, a former Hamburg
American liner, was towed to safety
by the transport Patricia. She was
filling rapidly ; when the shore was
reached. Her crew of- 400 with 19
army and navy officers, were removed
by the Patricia. After the ship was
beached, some of the crew were trans
ferred to navy tugs, which were still
standing by. It was hoped the Wal
dersee might be floated after the-hole
in her side has been patched.
When struck by the Redondo, the
Waldersee was outward bound, so car
ried no troops. The Redondo contin
ued its voyage to New York.
The .crew of the steamship Yankee,
sunk in . collision with the Italian
steamer Argentina, off Fire Island
last night, will probably be brought
here. Fog was also blamed for this
accident.
Several members of the crew of the
Graf Waldersee were injured. The Re
dondo s captain declared the collision
was unavoidable. The latter vessel,
entering port -this morning, reported
all the Glaf Walclersee's company, in
cluding ten officers and 400 men of the
crew and nine army officer passengers
safe aboard the transport fatrlcla,
which was towing the damaged vessel,
her hold partly flooded, toward this
harborkeeping close to the Long
Island shore.

HIGH PRICE-ERA?
Senators Charge Bankers' Plan
Would Mean That.
Say World Finance Program
Would Be Huge Trust.
Washington, June 12. An era of
high prices, such as the United States
has never seen would result from
FlrT-aloPtlon of the P'an of the world
financing outlined to the senate for
eign relations committee by Wall
street bankers, senators opposing the
league or nations predicted today.
They declared the frank ctatements
of Morgan, anderlip and Davison in
the "treaty leak' investigation showed
that Wall street plans the formation
of the greatest trust in history to be
underwritten by tne United States
government and. to control not only
the country's money but the industry
as never oetore. ...
Would Mean High Prices.
The inevitable result of putting into
vvaii streets grip tne whole country:
financial and industrial resources,
these senators said, would be the ele
vating senators of practically every-
tning tne people of this country use
High prices, it was declared, "would
ne justified on the ground that Eu
rope's needs for raw materials, ma
chinery and other American products
causes snoriages in tnis country.
League as Guarantee? .
League opponents believe the finan
ciers' statements to the committee are
in effect notice to the senate that Wall
street wants the league of nations as
medium thru which its world
financing plan may be carried out
with a guarantee against loss.
Senators asserted that the Team
can be used to create profits for the
money barons by declaring necessity
exists in some countries for American
financial aid.
They are preparing to use the leak
investigation testimony freely in
speeches to be delivered in the senate
in opposition to the league.-
The league's friends today said the
leak inquiry showed clearly that Sen
ator uoran s cnarge that New York in
terests having "a peculiar interest" in
the peace treaty had obtained it were
groundless and that the .bringing ot
the text to this country by H. P. Da
vison, partner or J. P. Morgan, and
head of the international Red Cross,
was entirely proper.
it is undetermined whether the in
vestigation will go any further.
Knox Denies Charges. ' '
The foreign relations committee fri-
day at a special meeting took up- the
jvnox resolution ror a "reservation
on the league of nations. ' '
Knox planned to point out to the
committee that administration charges
that his measure is a plan to separate
the treaty and covenant are untrue.
Knox maintains that separation of the
two involves amendment of the treaty
which would require it to be submit
ted again to the peace conference. His
plan, he said, will not entail this, and
will, therefore, not delay the operation
of the peace settlement.

Soldiers Wbo Experienced Court Mar -
ttal Will Tell Their story.
Chicago, June 12. Privates who
have experienced military court mar
tial were to tell their side of the story
here today before the special commit
tee of the American Bar association,
investigating . justice as administered
In the army.
That the case is "talked about
among the officers and decision prac
tically made before the evidence is
heard," was the declaration yesterday
of Richard H. Colby, Chicago lawyer,
formerly with the Thirty-fifth ar
tillery. Colby said the counsel for the de
fense was selected the night before,
more as a formality than as- a duty.
He declared in many instances the de
fendant's attorney was afraid properly
to represent him. Col. Henry J. Reilly,
of the 149th field artHlery, "Reilly's
Bucks," said he favored some proposed
changes in the laws. He opposed an
all-civilian tribunal, and suggested a
tribunal of the commanding officer, a
judge advocate and a civilian.
Reilly opposed Ihe plan of trial by
privates, Faying it would be like ask
ing school children to pass judgment
on a misdeed of another pupil.

Good Service in
Below Zero Weather
' " . WKATHKIt REPORT
WEATHER FORECAST for Kansas: .
Partly cloudjr Thursday and Frl
,: flay; prouahly local thunder Khowcrs.
Not much change In temperature.
There Is no better proof of the statement, made in the bulletins
recently, that Kansas City had better pus service in the winter
Just passed w'th smaller quantities of gas than were delivered in
previous winters, than thd record of service January 3, 191. The
thermometer that day registered the rowest temperature of the
winter of 1918-19 when It reached 13 degrees below sero.
Kansas C'.ty demanded and received at the city gates that day,
24.7S8.000 cubic feet of gas. The day before, one nearly as cold,
, the city received 20,65 1.000 cubic feet of gas. January 4, a day
cons'derably warmer than January 3, the delivery of gas was
20.749.000 cubic feet. The increase In pas demand from January
2 to Janury 3, when the lowest temperature waa 13 degrees below
rero. was 20 per cent and 4t was possible to care for this increased
demand w:thnuf undue strain on the gas pipeline system. In for
mer winters, in sudden tow temperatures, the demand for gas in
creased, from one -day to another, as high as 100 per cent, which
demand demoralized gas service and caused suffering on the part
of the public. -
