MINEOLA, N." Y, July 6. Great
Britain's super-dirigible R-34, the first
Iighter-than-air machine to cross the
Atlantic ocean, anchored here at I
Roosevelt field at 9:54 A. M, today
(1:54 P. M. G. M. T.) after an aerial
voyage of 108 hours and 12 minutes
which covered 3130 knots or approxi
mately 3600 land miles.
Passing through dense banks of
cloud, with the sun and sea visible
only at rare intervals, the R-34 was
forced to cruise 2050 sea miles to reach
Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, from East
Fortune, Scotland, and 10SO sea mils
from there to Mineola.
Crew Weary but Happy.
When the super-dirigibie arrived
here she had left only enough petrol
to keep her moving 90 minutes longer.
Her crew, almost sleepless for four
and a half days, were weary almost to
' the point of exhaustion, but bappy at
the successful completion of their
trip. The return voyage will be started
Tuesday at 8 A. M.

SEATTLE. Wash.. July 6. (Special.)
After battling with heavy seas in a
terrific westerly gale on the Atlantic,
Captain John Johnson, Seattle master
mariner, and the officers and crew of
the steamship Henry T. Scott, of the
Alaska Steamship company, saved the
lives of Beven men, the entire comple
ment of the sailing ship Mabel Davis,
which was storm-battered, water
logged and . ready to take her last
plunge, according to advices received in
Seattle today from Hull, England.
The thrilling rescue was performed
May 10, while the Henry T. Scott was
bound from New York for Hull and
Christiania in the service of the Federal
Shipping company, to which she was
recently chartered for the trans-Atlan
tic trade by the Alaska Steamship com
pany. C. C. Campbell, chief engineer of the
Henry T. Scott and a former officer
of the freighter Latouch, has written
a graphic account to friends in Seattle.
The officers and crew of the sailing
ship had been battling the heavy seas
for 11 days, and the ship was on the
point of foundering when the Scott
came into sight. During this period
the crew had been continuously at the
pumps. They had about abandoned hope.
The gale was still blowing and the seas
were running very high.
The sailing vessel was helpless. The
captain of the steamship kept his ship
on the lee of the sinking craft and
within 100 fathoms lifelines with life
buoys were thrown from the steamship
and eventually hooked aboard the
sailer. The shipwrecked men fastened
the lines to the life-jackets they were
wearing, and were drawn, half
drowned, through 100 fathoms of water
to the steamship.
Ernest Spencer, the mate, said the Ma
bel Davis left Santa Paula, Spain, on
April 15, with a cargo of salt for New
foundland. They called at Gibraltar
and left on April 17, and were 23 days
out and near the banks of Newfound
land when they encountered the storm.

Idaho Senator Charges President
Traded With Clemenceau for
Support of His Plans.
WASHINGTON. , July 6. The new
treaty with France, by which that na
tion is promised American aid in case
of an unprovoked attack by Germany,
was described as "the premature obit
uary of the league of nations as a
league of peace" in a statement issued
tonight by Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho.
The senator also charged the promise
was made by President Wilson to pur
chase French support for the league
plan. j
"Thj British-French-United States al- j
liance," said the statement, "is based j
upon the theory of war, it is made in
expectation of war: it is, like all such
alliances, a war alliance. Could there
be a more open confession by the
authors of the league that the league
means neither peace nor disarmament?"
Wilson's Speech Quoted.
"A short time before thcj president left
for Europe he said:
" 'Special alliances have been prolific
in the modern world of the plans and
passions that produce war,' yet not
withstanding this statement, we are
now asked to draw a line through
Washington's farewell address, put
behind us the policy of our government
during its entire life and enter into
special alliance, an alliance which
wilt include Great Britain and France
f.ff'prtsslbly ItkaftdrBelgtum.
"Upon the same occasion he declared
'There c'ni be no alliances within the
general' league of nations.' In the face
of this statement there is to be formed
within this league a special alliance
and this alliance is to be formed upon
the initiative of the authors of the
league of nations.

"Upon another occasion after the
president had most earnestly denounced
such alliances as being the authors of
the wars and the intolerable conditions

to Throw Up Hands.
McMINNVILLE, Or.. July 6. (Spe
ciaLWNight Policeman J. E. Clark,
with his left hand shot off and three
bullets passing through his hat, saved
his life by fleetness of foot at 3:15
o'clock this morning.
While making his regular rounds of
the city Officer Clark saw a light-colored
automobile standing near the city
hall. Upon approaching the vehicle he
was hailed by one of the occupants who
asked the direction to Tillamook. Be
fore he could reply the officer was told
to throw up his hands. An instant
later the man opened fire with the re
sult that the officer's hand was shat
tered. Mr. Clark then turned to run. The
man near the automobile continued to
shoot and a subsequent investigation
revealed a number of bullet marks on
the walls of the city hall towards
which the officer ran. Mr. Clark was
taken to a hospital where his hand was
amputated. Sheriff Henderson was no
tified and is making a search of this
vicinity in hope of apprehending the
man responsible for the shooting. The
city has offered a reward of J500 for
the arrest of the man.
The wounded officer says one of the
four men in the auto was dressed in a
brown suit and wore a brown hat. An
other man wore a gray suit. Descrip
tions of the other two men are lacking.
Residents in the vicinity of the Yamhill
river bridge heard the shooting and are
sure that the car crossed the bridge
shortly afterward.
Officers of the Portland detective
bureau, notified early yesterday morn
ing of the mysterious shooting at Mc
Minnville. by a message from Sheriff
Henderson of Yamhill county, have
searched their . records without avail
for information that might lead to
reading the riddle.
It was first thought that some crime
or robbery committed in Oregon or
northern California for which the per
petrators are sought, might have
caused the action of the unknown men
at McMinnvilie, who shot Marshall
Clark without parley or a word of
warning. But none of the rec.rds of
recent crime affords a clue to the iden
tity of the men in the gray car. Police
are inclined to believe that the "job,"
whatever it may have been, for which
the mysterious ni.olpr.ists . feared de
tection, must have been -planned
committed in McMinnvilie or that
neighborhood.
Acting on the meager description af
forded them members of the Portland
detective bureau are instituting a city-
wide search for the gray car and its
occupants.
