San- - Francisco, Oct. 13. Lieut May- nard for tho first of tho Eastern filers to reach hero announced ht that ho and his observer as welt as tholr alrplano were ready to start the return flight to Mlneola at 1:12 P. II.

The only attention he givo it. ha said. vac to drain the oil and look over the oiling and cooling syBtem. Except for a tire blown when landing, the machine will start back exactly ao It left Mlneola, no part having beon replaced since tho start of tho race. I \I think I can beat my westbound time,\ said Lieut. Maynard. SIX FLIERS REACH PACIFIC; THREE HERE Some Pilots Sustain Minor In- juries.

Mnvnard. the flying parson, briskly mak ing preparations for a start on tho home- ward trail At about the same time three pilots from the Golden Gate landed after their 2.700 mile spurt at nnosevclt Field. Mlneola. Despite the brilliant performance of Lieut. Maynard, whose elapsed and fly- ing time 'records are shortest, honors In the transcontinental race are at present with the plucky little band from the Golden Gate. Only fifteen airplanes ttarted from Frisco, but five of these have already got through to Mlneola. Of the other ten two are still on their way. The remaining eight crashed tomewhere along- - tho route, principally among snowstorms and rough country about the Rocky Mountains. Of the twenty-si- x men who left San Francltco In the fifteen planes nine are In New fork, three are on the way, eleven are scattered about the western end of the route, only slightly bruised from crashes, and three are dead.

So far only seven of the forty-seve- n Jllnoola planes have won through to the Golden Gate, while twenty-tw- o have crashed, including two totally wrecked yeetcrday without badly Injuring tho Pilots or observers. The Mlneola fliers are scattered at almost .every one pf me twenty control stations aiong ma way. The men who Joined Lieut-- Maynard t San Francisco yesterday were Capt. H C.

S. Webster. 6 :29. Capt. Smith's arrival at San Francisco was perhaps even more dramatic than Lieut. Maynard's. As he levelled out n'ter the downward dive, one wheel of his swiftly flying ship struck tho land' big Held hard and collapsed. The, plane tumped a short distance across the field end then tilted up on Its no6e. Both Capt. Smith and his observer. Capt Truman V. Allen, escaped Irom the ship without Injury. It probably can bo re paired. Arrivals nt Mlneola. The arrivals at Mlneola were Capt, Lowell H. Smith. 10:50:12 A. M.; Sec end Lieut H. E. Queens, 1:16 P. M.. and Second Lieut. Robert S. Worthlngton, 2 17 :03 P. M. Major Carl Spatz and Lieut. E. C. Kiel arrived 'on Saturday. Capt. Smith led the eastward bound fliers until Cleveland was reached. There he landed in the wrong field and his plane turned over, breaking a strut und the propeller. Had It not been for this accident, which delayed hlra four hours, he said his flying' time would have been between, twenty-fou- r and twenty.flve hour's, or \less than the twenty-fou- r hours and fifty-seve- n mln-li'- ts taken by Maynard. The good time of the Sin Francisco fliers Is due In part to following winds and better weather than that encountered by the westbound contestants. All the Frisco fliers, how-tie- r, flew some hours In rain and enow. Two of the ships that finished the first half of the long grind yesterday were tiny single-seate- d SE-5- s. British cne-ma- n scout model. Capt. Donaldson piloted one of theso Into San Francisco, while Lieut. Worthlngton landed the her at Mlneola. The little ships are t. t so fleet as tho De Havllands flown V the other arriving contestants, for 1 tr motors are less than half as pow- erful as the big Liberty 100 horsepower engines In the DH planes. AVeatbonnd PInues Fall. Both the total crashes yesterday were of westbound planes. Out In Nebraska, a few miles from the town of Oconto, a DH-- 4. piloted by Lieut. 31 D. Norrla. with II. J. Meyer, a me- chanic also on board, crashed Into a I r 0 as the pilot was bringing It to faith in a heavy fog. The men were 1'ruised and shaken. I The other wreck occurred when a II-- 1 driven by Lieut. T. Haynes, with L.eu Cleveland McDermot and Private Tieodore Lake, as flying - n Mlneola to Blnghamton on a a t, \overshot\ the Blnghamton con- trol n landing and fell Into a tangle of telegraph wires. Tho plane was to- tally demolished, but all three men escaped with slight cuts. No change has yet come from Wash- ington (n the orders that provide that contestants ahall start the return trip In rot more than nlnety-s- or less than f\rt eisht hours after arrival at the f'asi points. Both Major Spatz and lmt Kiel rolnted out on arrival that 1 itr machine were In no shapo to \ f 'he return Journey ana expressed unwillingness to attemnt it.

Worthtnuton, the solitary oc- cupant of tho little SE-- 6 scout plane which reached Mlneola yesterday, had probably the hardest battle of all who arrived. At Salt Lake City hjs gloves wore lost or stolen, and he drove alone 13,000 feet high over the Rockies with bare hands. Ills motor went wrong on the eastward trip but ho contrived to limp in yesterday. Lieut. Worthlngton was tho roommate of Lieut. 13. V. Wales, who met death when ho drove his plane Into a mountain sldo during a heavy snowstorm. He gave all credit to Lieut. Maynard yesterday afternoon at the American Flying Club, as he said the eastbound fliers had the advantage of favoring winds which tho flying parson bad to buck, but he was very eager to get another motor Into his little \bus\ to try conclusions again on the home- ward trip. vora reached New York yesterday that Lieut. Maynard announced a plan to try for a transcontinental record In November with a machlno built par- ticularly for speed. He hopes to fly from tho Atlantic to tho Pacific In two days. Lieutenant J. B. Wright and Sergeant V. Coleman, west-bou- aviators In the race, lost their way at 7 :40 o clock last night and narrowly es caped death when they landed at a farm house near Sterling, Colo., striking tele- phone wires and grazing a fence. Their plane was damaged but they escaped In- - Jury. They will resume, the flight NATIONALISTS WIN OLD TURK CAPITAL Adrianople Also Reported to Have Joined Broussa. En a Staff Oorrupondtnt of Tax Sc.. CopvriaM: all right! rtterxti. Paws. Oct 12. The adhesion of two more large Turkish cities. Broussa. the ancient capital of the Turkish Sultans, and Adrianople to the National 1st move- ment Is reported here In despatches from Constantinople. This marks the latest stage in the eastward advance of the Turkish rebels and brings the counter revolution Into European Turkey. Broussa is only fifty-seve- n miles .from Constantinople. This event may bring about the Im mediate signing of a truce between the Sultan's Government and Mustapha Kemal's Insurgents. Opinion Is Peace Conference circles here Is that with Kemal's troops quartered In Broussa and Adrianople. not far from Constan tinople, there- - Is really nothing else for the Sultan to do but to reach an accord with tho Young Turks for the forma- tion of a coalition government Critics of the Peace Conference .blame tho Allies' policy In the Levant for tho return of tho Young Turks and the Germanophile group to power. The movement for the establishment of a Nationalist Turkish Government, started by Mustapha Kcmal Pasha at Lrzerum, In northeastern Asia Minor. continues to spread with enormous strides. Mustapha Kcmal, after he had extended bis Influence southward through Asia Minor and captured Ko-nle- h, felt himself strong enongh to Issue an ultimatum to the Turkish Cabinet to resign, which brought about the tall of the existing Ministry. Although the au thorities In Constantinople succeeded In forming a new Cabinet, thla Government seems unable to 'check the spread of the rrovement Which has now swept along the railroad from Konleh as far as Broussa, one of tho most Important towns In Asia Minor, with a population o.Vout 110.000. Tho town Is easily ac.7selb!e from Constantinople and dom inates the communications of the Turk- ish capital witli tho greater part of Asia Minor. If the appeal of Mustapha Kemal to send delegates to a Nationalist Congress, which Is to set up a now Government for Turkey free from the supervision and control of the Powers, has also been heard at Adrianople and that great fortress town has decided to disown the Constantinople administration, the lat ter apparently still controls only a very limited part of the old Turkish Empire Immediately around .Constantinople and the Bosphorus. MEXICAN SENATORS DENOUNCE OIL BILL See Country Suffer if Foreign Capital Is Lost. Washington, Oct 13. Taking the po- sition that foreign Investments, essential lo Mexico's prosperity, are threatened by the Carranza petroleum bill, an Influential group of Mexican Senators have decided' on strong opposition to the measure, tho State Department was d y In connection with reopen- ing debate on the bill. Senator Carlos Zetlna, lesder of the opposition faction lp the recent debate, announced that oil companies had made \fabulous profits\ in Mexico, as was asserted in a repot t by Senator Salinas, temporarily In charge of the Department of Petroleum. In the case of the Agulla Company, a British concern, which was cited by the Government report as having paid 177 per cent dividends. Senator Zetlna pointed out that these dividends cov- ered a per od of nineteen years, averag- ing less than 10 per cent a year. Tho Diaz Administration, the Senator said, by giving economic facilities to foreign capital had developed the coun- try and was responsible for the 14,000,-00- 0 pesos now annually paid to the na- tion by the petroleum Industry. 147 CITIES OF 227 SHOW LOSS IN 1918 New York Among 80 to Re- port Excess Revenues. Washington, Oct 13. Governmental expenditures for the 227 American cities of more than 30,000 population for the fiscal year of 1918 exceeded revenues by 548,600,930, or 1.12 per capita. A made by Sam L Rogers, director cf the census, shows that only eighty of the 227 cities had excess of revenues over their expenditures, the exess total- ling 122,323,060, or 51.60 pr capita, while for the remaining 117 cities expenditures exceeded revenues by 570,923,990, or 53. tS per capita. Among the cities in which revenues exceeded all expenditures are New York, St Louis, Pittsburg, Los Angeles, Wafhlngton, Portland and Denver, The aggregate population of these 227 cities was estimated at 31,300,000, or nearly 33 per cent of the total population of the country. Except for revenues derived from the general property tax, the liquor traffic Is shown by the report to havo been the largest single Item of taxes totalling 535,576,383, though smaller by 11,898,-00- 0 than the sum reported for the fiscal yeai 1917. The entire Indebtedness o( the 227 cities amounted to 12,361,151,218, or 177.53 per capita. 30 SICILIANS DEAD IN RIOT. Troop and Armed Peasants Clash and Muny Wonnded, Paris, Oct 13. Newspaper despatches from Rome state that about thirty per- sons have been killed In encounters be- tween armed peasants and troops In Sicily. There were many wounded. The unrest among the peasants Is In- creasing and bands of -- armed peasants r roaming throozhout Uu rural dis- tricts. ., STATE MACHINERY AT A STANDSTILL Continued from First Pooe. partment by 'the American Minister to China, Dr. Retnsch. Dr. Relnsch since has resigned. It la known that ho was placed In a most em- barrassing position In China ever nines the Peace Confcrcnco determined to give Shantung to Japan because he had given rrrtatn personal assurances that tho United States would use all Its Influence to protect China from that settlement He first cabled his resignation within a few days after decision of the Paris con- ference became pubtlc and despite ef forts of tho President's personal agents at Paris to induce him to remain at his post finally insisted that he be relieved. His report on tho railroad situation Is understood to bear out the churges con- stantly made that Japan is getting con- trol of the whole Chinese transportation system and us'lng It to strengthen Its grip on the country. To know the exact facts In this situation while the Shan tung provisions of the treaty are under discussion Is obviously ot tne utmost im- portance to the Senate. Finally, there Is oendlnc a resolution by Senator Lodge (Mass.) authorizing the President to call an international conference to consider the ultimate dis position of the ocean cabie lines formerly owned by Germany and taken from her under the peace treaty. When tho question was raised In the Foreign Relations Committee discussion became general. It was marked by no heat or partisanship, but by a frank recognition of the gravity of the matter in hand. Senator Now (Ind.) recalled tho facts attending tho long Illness cf President Garfield and the short ono of President McKlnley. Public Then Was Informed. He pointed out that neither of these constituted a precedent In the present case because In both instances tne coun try was given fullest Information as to tho condition of the patients. There was no mystery, no possibility of rumor dealing with the facts and exaggerating or misstating them. It was possible to suspend tho pressure o; business on the executive department without interfering with the Government's processes, which Is not possible at this lime, especially In vlow of the admission that the Presi dent may not for a long period be able to resume his duties. Senator Lodge also pointed out the wide differences between those former cases and the present one and the em- barrassments now presented. Later In tho day Senator Polndextcr by way of pointing out the necessity that the exec- utive department of the Government shall be capable of functioning, said, speaking of his resolution: \The Information asked In this resolu- tion Is of the utmost Importance In con- nection with the consideration of the peace treaty. I have outside Informa- tion that the documents requested in this resolution will throw a very In- teresting light on tho purso-w- of Japan toward China. If the friends of the Ad- ministration say they are not able to at-te- to business concerning tho treaty at this time they are not able to give proper consideration to tho treaty It- self.\ Moses Makes Explanation. Senator Moses (N. II.) found himself the centre of a teapot tempest to-d- because of the publication of a personal letter he had written to an Inquiring constituent who wanted to know the truth about the President's condition. Publication of tho letter caused inquiries s to whether the Senate had Inside In- formation Indicating a very grave con- dition of the President's health. \Of course,\ snld Senator Moses, \the letter was not written with any thought ot the possibility that It would be printed. It gave the .best Information I had been able to get. Just as t suppose about every other Senator has written In private letters to persons asking simi- lar questions. Now I find that people are divided Into two groups, one main taining that I have, committed a pe culiarly ntrocio&i act and the other that I have 'done a real public service. I can only say that I had no Idea of do ing cither.\ As to the .measures available for deal ing with a long Incapacity of the PresI dent, there Is much divergence ol view. A school of technical construction!'! hold that It Is necesian- - that somebodv with a direct Interest In the matter shall initiate action. One suggested the method would be for a member of his family to Initiate a proreedlng In court; THE SUN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1919. , another that Thomas R.

Obviously neither of these proceedings Is considered at all within tho possibil- ities. tW school of broador construc- tionists urga that Congress should by resolution provide for some proper In- quiry to determine the facts as to tho probable period of tho President's in- capacity to perform his duties and If It be found necessary should recommend procedure for transferring tho executive power to tho While tho Foreign Relations i.i.i....

Meanwhile at the While House y the suggested specific statement as to the President's malady was withheld If ever It had been considered at all by the little groun having the President's physt cal welfare In charge. It was said that the revival of discussion as to the char- acter of the President's Illness was re- sented at the White House. Just why representatives of the people evidencing an Interest In the dark secrtt as to what halls the President and expressing that through a variety ot channels should be provocative of resentment, was not explained. But tho corps of specialists charged with restoring the President to health gave out a bulletin at 12:15 P. M., In which they asserted that with the ex- ception of a single day, tho President's respiration, temperature, pulse and Diooa pressure had been normal and that there was no kidney affection. The bulletin contained not ,a single word as to the type of the President's Illness nor any forecast of Intention to make this pub- lic. It told what was not the matter with tho President but not what was ' wrong. MAYORS PROPOSE A BOYCOTT. IIoit West Seeks to Loner Cost of Living. Sacramento, Cal.. Oct. 13. John Q.

Arizona, Oregon and Nevada to meet In Sacramento October 30 to \consider means to Institute a boycott against cer- tain commodities In an effort to reduce tho high cost of living.\ Tho Invitations were sent, Mr. Brown said, after consultation with James Rolph. Mayor of San Francisco, and John L. Baker, Mayor of Portland, Ore. Mayor Brpwn has been conducting public hearings to determine If possible, the reason for high prices ot foodstuffs and other commodities and has con- cluded, he said, that tho best method for reducing certain prices was by means or a boycott by tne consuming public.
