NEW AIR SPEED RECORD
MADE BY ARMY FLYER
216.1 Miles An Hour, Fastest
Time Known Is Attained In
Race for Pulitzer Trophy.
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich.. Oct. 14.
Unconscious at times, due to the
terrific speed at which he rushed
through the heavens, and during his
conscious moments haunted by fears
for the condition of his wife, who
momentarily expects to become a
mother, Lieutenant R- L. Maughan,
army aviator, flying an annyplane
won the Pulitzer trophy aerial race
here today. He traveled the 160-mile
course at an average speed of 206
mils an hour. ,
The race, run in three flights and
replete with sensational achieve
ments on the part of the entrants
that promise to become aerial tra
dition, resulted In the smashing of
world records, both official and un
official, "for 50, 100 and 200-kilometer
courses.
Lieutenant L. J. Maitland, piloting
a sister ship to that of Maughan. was
second in the Pulitzer competition,
but his honors in that respect were
overshadowed, by the terriffic speed
he attained on one lap of 50 kilomet
ers. He covered the distance at the
rate of 216.1 miles an hour faster
than anyone ever flew In a race.
For the 100-kilometer course dur
ing the race he averaged 207.3 miles
an hour, another world record. Maug
han's plane is the one that made a
world' record of 220 miles over a
one-kilometer course at Garden City,

Portland Digger
Sinks In Harber
PORTLAND, Oct. 14. Three men
were drowned, one was painfully In
jured and the crew of the Port of
Portland dredge Portland, staring at
tragedy in swirlng river waters, was
thrown into near-panic at 12:S5
o'clock this morning when the dredge
was rammed and sanic on the Swan
island side of the Wilamette river
channel, half a mile below the Port
land Flouring mills.,
.None of the bodies has been recov
ered. The dredge, valued at $100,000 and
owned by the Port of Portland, which
carried n0 insurance, is said by James
Pothemus, general superintendent, to
be a total loss.

Eye witnesses declare the midnight
tragedy resulted from a blow struck
on the donkey scow at the stern of the
dredge by the steamer Santa Clara,
p.nin stevelison. an intercoastal
outbound cargo carrier. Oscar Wil

loose a sawdust barge tied to the
starboard side of the dredge and per
haps thus aiding her sinking, cap
tain James J. Blake and the chief en
gineer were ashore at the time of the
accident.
The dredge tilted and half-submerged
four or five minutes after it
had been cut adrift from the barge.
Sensing the danger, the mate cried for

number of the crew jumped on tne
barge before it got too far away, sev
eral jumped overboard and swam to

dredge and rescued 10 or 12 more.
Tom Campbell, the lost fireman, is
said to have come to the deck and
then returned to his room to get his
shoes, only to be engulfed in the mael
strom which pulled the dredge under.
Aid Is Given.
Th captain of the Santa Clara per
haps realized what had taken place,
tor he is said to have immediately
blown five whistles and dropped an

coastal steamer and the fact that the
barge had not drifted too far out of

once at her as she turned, the bullet
going through the left side an inch
to the left" of the heart. He turned
the gun on himself shooting once dir

nfAMPWP!fiTRR. Oct. 14. Prime
Minister Lloyd George's speech to
the Liberals of the Manchester Re
form club this afternoon, expected
to be a historic utterance, was a dis
appointment -because the premier
gave no intimation regarding his
plans or his program. In that re
spect his oration was similar to that
of Austen Chamberlain at Birming
ham yesterday.
Lloyd George referred to the Near
Eastern crisis, declaring the people
must not - believe their government
had endeavored to . rush Great Bri
tain into war.
We have not been war mongers,
. ..Ama1rDran Tna said.
I continuing his defense of the gov-
ernment's policy, Lloyd George said
.. loo-ntiottons had been conducted
ta a manner unprecedented in this
country. - The government, he de
clared, had been assailed with mis
representations such as no govern
ment had ever been subjected to. The
country would resent this, he declar
ed adding that there were "queer
people let loose" in the press in these
days.
One of the prominent evils that
the country is suffering from now is
tough roast beef.
