[[top right clipping]] Waco Planes Hold up Among Leaders in Air Race Across Country Meyers Only Few Minutes Behind The Leader At St. Paul- Other Troy Ships In Class A Division (By United Press) St. PAUL, Sept 20- Leslie C. Miller of DesMoines, Ia., piloting an Eagle Rock biplane No. 41 was the first to arrive here today in Class B of the New York-Spokane air derby. He arrived at the municipal airport at 9:55 a. m., central standard time. Miller took off for Fargo, N. D., at 10:04 a. m. At 10:05 the Waco No. 10, piloted by C.W. Meyers, Detroit, reached the field as the second arrival in the Chicago- St. Paul lap of the Derby. CLEVELAND, Sept. 20 (United Press)- Nine of the 14 planes entered the Class A of the New York- Spokane Air derby, had arrived here on their journey to the coast at 10:55 a. m., E. S. T., today and were on their way to Chicago. The one plane which was still unaccounted for was a Waco whirlwind piloted by Robert Fogg, Concord, N.H. The first plane in the "A" division arrived here at 9:23 and hopped off for Chicago at 9:29 1/2. The plane was piloted by E.E Ballough, of Chicago . C. W. Holman of St. Paul, in a Laird [[?]], arrived at the airport at [[?]] E. E. T., and left at 9:38 E.S.T. [[?]] Hamilton Lee, Chicago, in a [[?]] monoplane, arrived at 9:57 1/2 and departed at 10:06 1/2. H. B. Namer, Spokane, in a Buhl airster came in at 9:59 and hopped off at 10:06 1/2. James S. Ray, Philadelphia, in a Pitcairn Mail wing, arrived at 10:01 and left at 10:07 1/2. Lieutenant Royal, of Flint, Mich., in a Bulh airster, ran out of gas on the outskirts of Cleveland and made a forced landing in a meadow. The plane was undamaged. John P. Wood, Wausau Wis., piloting a Waco whirlwind, arrived at 10:13 and left for Chicago at 10:21. W. K. Campbell, Moline, Ill., in a Yackey monoplane, arrived at 10:16 and departed at 10:25. Tex Rankin, Portland, Ore., in a Waco No. 10, arrived at 10:20 and left at 10:27. The Rvan brougham, piloted by E. W. Cleveland, was the ninth plane to arrive in Cleveland and was immediately followed by the Travelair, piloted by J. L. O'Donnell, of Whittier, Calif. The Travelair took off five minutes after its landing while the Ryan stopped for eight minutes. After re-fueling Lieut. Royal. of Flint, Mich., departed for Chicago in his Buhlairster. [[Bottom left]] Entrants in the peting for five pri with the first five places 000, $3,000, $1,000, $500 and Only one of the 26 entrants failed to get away. He was H. E. Campbell of New York, whose plane was held to the ground at a nearby airfield by necessary motor parts failing to arrive. Only One Turns Back Of the 25 planes up to 8 a. m. only one had turned back. He was P. W. Cantwell, piloting a Travel airplane. After leaving Roosevelt field he turned, circled and landed at Curtiss Field. He said that he had been informed that low hanging fog gave a "ceiling" at 800 feet beyond which the ground was not visible and he feared to attempt crossing the mountains under such conditions. He said he might attempt to rejoin the race later. Cantwell is from Oklahoma City. Clouds obscured the sun before the last entrant took off and a shadowy rainbow appeared over nearby Curtiss field. More favorable weather conditions were promised for midday. Various reports from Pennsylvania and Ohio put the visibility from fair to unlimited. The start was not marked by any of the enthusiasm which characterized recent aviation events, such as the start of the Lindbergh, Byrd and Cahmberlin flights and the non-stop flight made over this vicinity by Chamberlin and Acosta in the spring. After a quiet night, rain began falling about 3:20 a. m. and about the same time the first pilots began arriving. The mechanics, sleepy and tired from a hard day's work yesterday and little rest, began tinkering with the engines and by 5 a. m. the planes were being lined up near the starting point. But the rain continued to fall and when the time set for the start arrived, it was necessary to postpone it. The pilots were eager to get away. Finally, just before 7 a. m., the weather had cleared sufficiently to make a start possible and the race got under way. The planes were expected to maintain a cruising speed of about 90 miles per hour. The race was without a favorite. The pilots and their machines were largely new to the public and few had much idea to expect. But those who saw 25 machines soar away were impressed by the trim appearance of the craft and the skillful handling which permitted 25 machines to take off in about 30 minutes without accident or without as much as a false start.

A PORTRAIT of A.A. Adee, who served the state department, as second assistant secretary for 33 years until 1924, has just been hung in the department's diplomatic room Gazing at the well-remembered features, an attache told this story: "One day Alvey had occasion to call a man on the telephone. "This is A. A. Adee speaking.' he said. "'Beg parson, I didn't catch that name.' replied the chap at the other end of the line. "'A. A. Adee.' 'Please spell it." " 'A.' 'Yes.' 'A.' 'Yes.' 'A.' 'Aw, go to heck, ya smart Eleck! Ya can't kid me!'" Several years before his death, President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was a witness before a senate committee which was considering certain pending labor legislation, according to Bilt Roberts of the federation's Washington staff, and the question of a fixed minimum wage came up. "Now, look here, Mr. Gompers," said the chairman, "this thing paying the same money to a tip-top workman and an indifferent work-man never has appealed to my sense of justice. How do you defend it?" "Don't all you senators get the same pay?" asked Gompers. "Yes, we do." said the chairman, "but what of it?" "Well, do you mean to tell me," demanded the old labor leader, "that you're all worth the same?" front of the grand stand. The con-test caused much amusement and made a big hit with the spectators.
