arrived an<i learned what had happened
I-e consulted with J. Frederick Tarns
and Charles K. Beekman, club stcrc

flag displayed again. To guard against

sent fifty reserves from the Las:

( heard, screaming out against the flag

by common impulse, the crowd moved
toward the club, where the fifty re?
serves were drawn up outside.
Crowd in Fighting Mood
It was plain that the crowd was in
lighting mood. Men in the rear ran to
a new building which is under con?
struction on Fifty-first Street and am?
munition began to arrive, in the form

After the riot the street was littered
with flags of the "Irish Republic" and
pictures of the late Mayor MacSwiney,
which had b? en sold to the crowd bj

these mementos desperately, even as
they fought the police to get through

At Scene of Irish Riot
Soon after traffic was resumed
on Fifth Avenue, following the
riot over the British flag at the
Union Club at Fifty-first Street,
an automobile carrying a soldierly
looking man stopped at tho scene
of havoc.
The man saluted the flags
which swung from the Fifth Ave?

American flag flanked by the
French tricoror aud the British
cross. He had saluted them un?
der widely differing circumstances
across seas, for he was General
Georges Robert Nivelle, some?

France.

dences of destruction at the club
aroused in the breast of the Gen?

made no comment, and, after one
brief survey, the automobile
sped on.

Kemple, of St. John's Church, Kings
bridge, was deacon; the Rev. Patrick
Temple, of Holy Family Church, New
Rochelle, sub-deacon, and the Rev.
Henry Hammer, of the cathedral clergy,
master of ceremonies. The Right Rev
Monsignor Michael J. Lavello, rector of
the cathedral, preached the sermon.
Eamonn de Vaiera, i "president of the
Irish republic''; Harry Boland, his sec?
retary; J. L. Fawsitt, consul of the

The Cork Men's Association assem?
bled at its headquarters, Sixty-seventh

to the cathedral. Their line was so
long it. held up traflic while filing into
the cathedral.
Monsignor Lavelle, in his sermon,
said, in part :
"Von are gathered her.* to celebrate;
the month's mind of a man whose
high record proclaims him just, whose
deeds make h;iu a hero among his
fellows ami whose name will live in
the memory of the world
"We call a man a hero who distin?
guishes himself for high and daring
enterprise, who dios for a great cause.
But what, have we in human history
that compare'- with this man's death
and the courage behind it? Here wc
have a man who doomed himself. Many
can face danger who could never en?
dure tho torture and agony that he
endured.
"Some people remark that Mac
Swiney's aci was foolish and ask what
is to be gained bj it. In reply to that
I cite the parable of the grain, of seed
that was planted deep in the ground
and that became a mighty forest.
"We pray that the hope of the I? ih
peop'i- may soon be realized and that
the aspirations of Xerence MacSwiney
and the t'ru:t< of his sacrifice way soon
come, and come with interest, Lei us
do aii we can for tho cause he ?iir;i for
and pray to keep for the Irish race the
respect the world has ("or it.
"Let us pray for the Star Spangled
Banner, the emblem of our own coun?
try, that might, well be called the

PANAMA CITY. Panama, Nov. 25 (By
The Associated Press) A pledge of
enduring brotherhood and cooperation
between Panama and the United States
was pronounced here to-night by Presi?
dent Porras of the Panaman Republic
and Warren G. Harding, President elect
of the Unite?! ? t?te.'
U. S. Criled "Polar Star'
Speaking -it a banquet given by him
in honor of Mr. Harding, Se?or Porras
declared it was the wish of the pan
\mei ican nal ions that the 1 ni ? I
States should continue as "the polai
star of our American continent, light?
ing the way for other peoples that they
may follow in the paths of libi rty i nd
; independence."
In reply Mr. Harding voiced warm
| reciprocation of these expressions of
I friendship and declared that it. was
lorn.' of Ills fondest hopes tu spe the
Americas, North, Central and South,
united in the purpose of living peace?
fully and in coopera ion
As ?n all the other exchanges of
courtesies during his vacation trip
here, Mr. Harding made it clear thai
I he spoke onlj as a private citizen.
His carefully chosen words and his
earnest demeanor, however, were taken
by his auditors as plainly indica!
his deep realization of the responsi?
bilities that will be inevitable in
guiding Pan-American relations in the
co ling four years.
The American officials of the ("anal
Zone and most of those in high autl or
ity in the Panaman republic weri ',; '
cut. at the banquet, which was in the
nature of a love feast to cement the
comity between the nation upi ?
ti:i' great Isthmian waterway4 and the
nation whose territory it pierces.
Harding Hoids Reception
After the banquet Mr. Harding held
ft public reception in the Union Club,
where the dinner was held, anil shoo.-;
hands with hundreds of Panamans.
Though he mad" no reference in his
speech at th?1 banquet to specific diplo?
matic policies, the President-elect had
before him as he spoke detailed infor?
mation gathered during his visit here
on many subjects affecting th?> canal
! management and relations with Pan
- ama.
Among the data was a memorial ad
dre sed to him by 250 cith of Colon
protesting against the present -Ymeri

(Continued tram paas on?)
tercd by the Unitod States Navy, proved
to be a real "mystery ship." It was de?
signed by Grovor C. Loening and built
within a block of Broadway on Fifty
second Street. It is a monoplane
with a wing upread of only 29
feet. It was in the wing that
the mystery lay, it being equipped on
the ship at a negative dihedral angle.
This means that both ends of the wing
have a downward slope from the center.
No machine has ever been flown before
with wings set in this manner.
For two laps Lieutenant Bradley, of
tho Marine Corps, drove this graceful
monoplane around the course at terrific
speed, vying closely with Captain Har?
old E. Hartney, the famous ace, who
was piloting a Thomas Morse scout.
Then on tho third lap, the water con?
nection broke, rendering his radiation
system, useless. Despite this handicap
Lieutenant Bradley continued on at
slightly reduced speed, completing the
third lap and getting well started on
the last lap at over 160 miles an hour, j
Plucky Flier Forced to Land
As he sped around the last leg of his
flight, the engine cooled rapidly, and he
came down lower to escape the frigid
atmosphere of altitude. Fighting des?
perately to the finish, ho nursed his en?
gine carefully--but in vain. When
within a mile of the finish lina ho was
compelled to descend to a forced land?
ing in a narrow patch of clearing. His
machine caught u small tree and turned
over, but was not badly darn. ged. He
received a few slight cuts.
In the meantime Captain Hartney
was giving a splendid demonstration
in the Thomas Morse with a 300-horse
power Wright motor. Flying con?
sistently and powerfully he covered
each lap in steady time and came to
a landing for second place at on aver?
age speed of lt)8.5 miles an hour in
a machine designed for 150 miles. The
piano is a stock machine taken from
the army hangars.
Captain St. Clair Street, commander ?
of the recent Alaska arid return flight, j
was fourth in an Orenco scout, also \
equipped with a 300-horsepower Wright '
engine. His average was 151 miles an
hour. His turning around the pylons
won the admiration of the crowd. Fly?
ing directly to the turning point at
full speed, he threw his machine into
a vertical bank, with the edge of the
wings pointing straight to the ground,
and went around at 150 miles an hour,
straightening out with surprising |
rapidity.
The entire crowd watched with
halted breath when Captain Corliss
landed his Verville Packard. The fast
battleplane came tearing across the
field ??t. high speed, but tier pilot held
the nose up until practically all >'?"?
speed was killed and then set his ma?
chine down to a perfect landing. I he

Secretary Daniels 0} m
In the improvised stan . however,
'Secretary Daniels was not so enthusi?
astic. The unfortunate minor accident
to the navy entry had left him some
| what glum, a mood that appeared to be
i emphasized when General Pershing
leaned over and smilingly whispered
1 some bantering remark on the perf? rm
; anee of the army as compared to the
navy.
The thirty-six starters were sent
away in ^rwn flights, Captain Hartney
being the first to get away promptly at
li o'clock, the scheduled time, It was
' at this moment, however, that it looked
as though a serious accidenl would mai
the race, Lieutenant Kelly, in an army
On nco scout, and Li ? ite nant .T. B\
Wolfer, in a stock naval Loenig mono
plane, collided with each other while
taxing on the ground. Both machines
were crippled and Lieutenant Wolfer
? was cut about the face.
At the very last moment the flying
m m lance of Mitchel field ??? is en
tered in the race. This is a remodeled
DH 4 biplane w ith a Libertj
the emblematic red cross painted
on either side of the white fuselage.
All the contestants who finished cov
? ed the cou rse four times. Thin
irse never has been accurately si r
veyed, and was approximated at thirty
five miles to the lap or a total of 140
miles for the four lapB. However, yes?
terday, after the race was completed,
it was determined to reduce the total
figure to 132 miles until an accurate
survey has been made. It is quite
probablo that the wonderful perfor?
mance of the Verville Packard, and the
other contestants may be enhanced by
the survey.
Among the machines that came to
grief during the race were the DH-4's,
piloted by Major Davenport Johnson
and Lieutenant P. 0. Rogers. Major
Johnson came down near Farmingdale
a.io was slightly hurt. Lieutenant Rog- I
era was forced to lafld in Sperry Field j
because of a broken connecting rod.
Contest for Class Prizes
In addition to the Pulitzer Trophy, j
the contestants raced for . >ur class
prizes. The first was the invitation
prize, of the contest committee of the
Aero Club which was for $1,500 to the j
winner; $750 to second, and $500 to j
third place, with other money prizes to I
mt-chanicB. The other three classes i
catT'ed first prizes of $350 each and !
second prizes of $150. In the case of:
army and navy pilots winning in these
events, no money prizes will be given.
Instead they will be presented with
suitable trophies, with permission of
the war and navy departments.

McGowan, who admitted be is n drug

THE MODEL
In the Kot Springs region
of New Zealand there are
cracks in the earth from
which steam pours forth
continually.
Here Mother Earth does the
cooking, the natives merely
putting their food into boxes
and setting them over the

Thus does Nature herself
furnish the model for the

League Loses Control of the

and Power Are Dwindling
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
FARGO, N. D., Nov. 25.?The clos?
ing of thirteen privately owned state
btmks in North Dakota during the last
eight days is looked upon as -
disaster for the Nonpartisan League in
this and other states -.here it seeks
political power.
The closing of the banks is an in?
direct result of the control of this
state by the Nonpartisan League dur?
ing the last four years. Much enp ital
ordinarily invested in farm mortagages
and on deposit in banks in the state
for use in financing farming operations
has been withdrawn, and that with?
drawal, coupled with the generally
tight money situation, has operatec
to cause the suspension of business or
the part of the banks so far affected
Unquestionably other banks also will
close.
Paralleling ths closing of the grou|
of private state banks is the prospec
tive reduction in the power of tit?
Bank of North Dakota, the institutiol
created by the Nonpartisan League
controlled state Legislature. lit thi
recent electi in ti e people approve*
an initiated law which takes from thi
si te -owned bank m mopo ist ic
of public funds, and gives to treasurer
of political subdivision? of the stst
th<- authority to deposit their funds ii
private banks if they so desire. Thi
1--1--V* will result in almost all deposit
of the Bank of North Dakota bein
taken from the institution und it
generally accepted in North Dakot
tl X the state-establiehed bank ha
lost the greater part of the power X- .->
it has wielded in the two years X ha
operated.
Farm Products Depreciate
The closing of the group of private!
owned banks is accepted as being :.
direct result of the depreciated valu
-, 7 farm products, the refusal of t!?
farmer-! to sell their ejrain nt the pre!
ent prices and the fact that much mone
ordinarily available for financing tl
st ite's business no longer is in tl
State.
So far as the Nonpartisan League
concerned it, is the opinion of all clo.?
observers that It never will he possib
for the organization to take the offei
sive politically again in this or ai
othei -;- te. The breaking down of tl
banks that have close?! is l"-'v*
