(Special.) The writer is not aware
of any political discussions anywhere,

the various primary campaigns now
In progress throughout the country.
bo thorough and so timely as those
which ex-Senator Beveridge is now
contributing to the Indiana campaign.
Senator Beveridge is saying the things
which other men have lacked either
the time or the training to think out
or which they hesitate to say.
During the early part of his cam
paign Beveridge devoted his speeches
to subjects aside from politics, but
since his campaign became active he
is delivering a series of carefully pre
pared and well expressed addresses
covering the field between politics
and business.
One of the.speeches he has been de
livering at his twice-a-day meetings
throughout the state Is entitled "Back
to Prosperity" and others cover that
field of economics which touches
business at one side and politics at
the other.
Near future Visualized.
He. visualizes the next few years
as those in which the government
must lay down the course for the fu
ture and tells clearly what he will
advocate If he is elected.
His programme Is sure-footedly
conservative. He says we should re
duce drastically the "bureaucracies of
omce-noiaers, which, he declares,
nave Deen Duiit up as the "combined
orK or radicals and cowardly pol
lticlans."
He eay3 that railroad rates should
ne reduced, and that the interstate
lummerco commission and the rail
u iaoor. rjoara should be merged.
He goes into an extended discussion
of the present system of taxation,
which, he says, both in its weight and

The phrase that "Senator New is i

appears frequently in the speeches
and the newspaper accounts. A
phrase of similar frequency is "the

Opposition on Job.
On the other hand, a mood of dis
approval of the work of congress is
ecually evident. Even as regards
Harding and the republican party
Kcnerauy, mere is a larger feeling of
" iiiat politicians describe as
"anti." not only in Indiana, but
throughout the rest of the country,
than we have been thinking in Wash
ington. But the "anti" feeling un
doubtedly is not as strong as it was
last fall, when the prices of farm
products were at their lowest. But
while these prices have gone up, many
of the farmers say, with some bitter
ness, that the rise in prices did not
occur until after the crops had left
tho farmer and were in the hands of
the middlemen, who got the benefit
of the rise.
To complicate matters, Indiana lo
cally has a new tax law, which
greatly increases tho amount to be
paid. Unfortunately, from the point
of view of everybody who Is "in" and
to the advantage of everybody who is
"out," these local Indiana taxes come
due May 1. And on the following dav
The voters, affected by the mood nf

A3 between New and Beveridge,
the judgment of ablo politicians is
that New will get the bulk of what is
known as the strictly organization
vote. But that if the weather is good,
and if a large vote is out. things will
run against New in proportion to the
Itize of the vote.
As regards the democratic primary,
it is generally conceded that ex-Gov-crnor
Ralston will win the senatorial
nomination and that he will give a

There were hz boys and girls, many
boys in knee trousers. Were they
killed? As the 300 scrambled from
the crushed deck, the one question on
all lipe was "Are the band boys all
killed?" The question was asked In
whispers.
But the half minute's warning
saved the boys. At the first crash
they began to scurry toward the stern.
Some did not make it in time and
were caught, but the chairs on which
they had been seated held the load for
a second and that second was long
enough to permit them to crawl to
safety before the tons of timber and
human weight crushed the chairs.
Women Grow Hysterical.
The crash of the falling deck re
sounded from bow to stern. Many
thought the steamer was sinking.
Others . thought the boilers had ex
ploded. Women fainted and became
hysterical. Children screamed and
men, mostly, appeared awe struck.
One girl attempted to jump over
i board. Officers caught her.
The little band boys and girls ran
about with many crying, seeking
their companions, thinking some per
haps had been buried under the de
bris. Some thinking other parts of
the deck also had given away, be
gan seeking their parents and friends.
Officers of the boat shouted or
ders for people to remain in their
places and keep quiet. Military of
ficers and Cincinnati police, of whom
there were many on board, also cau
tioned against becoming panic
stricken.
Soldiers Band Stands Fast.
The eleventh division band was on
the deck immediately above, but
which did not extend all the way over
the ill-fated deck. They heard the
crash and saw the deck drop. True
to their military training not a
bandsman stirred. They were play
ing a soft air and, sensing" the situa
tion, the director immediately struck'
up a lively tune in which each mem
ber put his entire energy. The mu
sic drowned out the cries of the chil
dren and of hysterical women. It
no doubt had great effect in prevent
ing panic throughout" the forward
decks.
Officers immediately constructed
deadlines on the second deck after
getting all toward the jstern and
began to searcti the debris for any
that might have been caught. In less
than ten minutes they were able to
assure the passengers that no one
was caught under the fallen deck or
had been killed. Physicians and Red
Cross nurses attended the injured.
General S. B. Stansberry of Cincin
nati, a veteran of the 37th Ohio na
tional guard division overseas, organ
ized a citizens' committee to promote
orderly handling of the crowd during
the remainder of the voyage.
The Island Quern was the fourth
in line of the flotilla. President
Harding did not learn of the accident
until the Cayuga moored at the Point
Pleasant landing.
General Chairman Nichols of the
celebration committee announced
from the speakers stand that the
Island Queen would carry no passen
gers back to Cincinnati, but a few,
however, ventured to make the return
voyage on her.
The Island Queen is a pleasure
craft, plying principally between Cin
cinnati and Coney island, a pleasure
resort ten miles up the river, and is
an old river craft.

LONDON, April 27. (Special cable.)
Major W. T. Elake of the British
royal air force and Captain Norman
McMillan, who flew with him to Mo
rocco last year, are the two men who
will attempt to circle the world by
airplane, it became known today.
The organizations which were be-
mna &ir koss vicKers Aero, juiq.;
the Napier Engine company, the Shell
Gasoline company and the Wakefield
Oil company have offered to support
Major Blake's attempts. Vicker will
be unable to supply an airplane in
time for the trip to start in the lat
ter part of May, as Major -Blake de
sires, but he hopes to obtain a ma
chine from the British air ministry.
Failing- in that there is a machine
that has been offered that -vill be
available for immediate use. It is
capable of landing on both land and
water.
Route Is Mapped.
"The route I propose to follow,"
Major Blake said in an interview to
day, "will be through France, Italy
and Greece, then to Egypt and Meso
potamia, then to India and down the
coast to Burmah and Cambodia,
through eastern China to Japan.
Thence by way of the Aleutian isl
ands, I will fly to Alaska and then
through Canada and the United States
to New York. From New York I will
go to Newfoundland and cross the
Atlantic by way of Greenland, Iceland
and Scotland. The total distance
traveled will be 30,000 miles.
"My route differs from that of Sir
Ross in respect to Burmah and the
Atlantic. It is so arranged that the
longest sea passage will be only a
little more than 800 miles and me
teorological conditions are likely to
be more favorable for the flight.
Flight to Start in May.
"I propose to start about the end of
May and expect to take two months
in completing the flight. "We will
carry a gasoline supply sufficient to
carry us 1500 miles, which is nearly
double our longest sea flight. The
machine will be fitted with wireless.
"One of the Napier engines will be
fitted in the machine at the start of
the flight; another will be sent ahead
for us to Japan, and a third will be
sent to Canada. W e will carry a
motion picture camera to take pic
tures for a syndicate which is help
ing to finance the flight. We intend
to make the flight pay its way. We
will reduce our personal baggage to
a bare minimum, but in addition to
the ordinary food supplies we will
carry emergency rations sufficient
for three days.'
While Major Blake's project is in
the most advanced stage the cor
respondent was informed that Vick
ers have assured Sir Keith Smith of
their willingness to place a machine
at his disposal if he so desires to
make the flight.
Three Types of Planes Suitable.
The Manchester Guardian's aero
correspondent will announce tomor
row; "Sir Keith is now very desirous to
carry out his brother's project. I
understand Captain S. Coekerell will
act as pilot and Sir Keith as navi
gator, but to start now from Eng
land is impossible, as it would land
the expedition into the monsoons. ,
While there is some talk of a
start in the autumn, the feeling is
certain, from what I can learn ,to- ',
night, that they will have to post-
pone the whole thing" until' next1
