Capp Kansas Senator Says Extra Session of Congress Unnecessary if Solons Would Get Down to Hard Grind By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—“Cut out the wind-jamming and hot air.and get down to business and we will not need an extra session of congress.” This was the advice given by Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, head of the farm bloc, as he came from a confer- ence at the White House with President Coolidge. ‘The Kansas senator has just been re-elected by a majority that will Tun over 300,000 majority, which is 30,000° more than the president re- tor, as he pointed a finger toward the president's office, ‘indicates how the people feel about a man who says little but does things. What the average man in the west wants 4s economy and business-like ad- ministration. Congress needs to be crowded into getting its program «. It can be done at the short session if w6 all get together. We have had enough of speech-making and talk Asked how he ‘thought the west felt about tax reduction, he added: “Oh, we are for that and we be- eve it can be done. I.would be in favor of the passage of a joint reso- lution at this coming session of congress which would authorize the treasury to refund 25 per cent to the taxpayers if it should) be found at the end of the present fiscal year in June that a sufficient surplus had been accumulated to permit such a cut. I believe we could adopt such a contingent legislation and then there would be no need of an extra session or to wait until December for the tax cut.” Mr. Capper’s thought is that by authorizing the freasury to use its discretion after congress has ad- journed in March, the treasucy can examine into the returns made on March 15 next and be able by mid- summer possibly to fulfill the wishes of congress with respect to a horizontal cut. Chairman Madden, of the house appropriation commit- tee, has been advancing a somewhat similar idea, his proposal being that at the end of each fiscal year the treasury shall\be authorized auto- matically to refund to the taxpayers @ certain percentage of income tax (Continued on Page Ten.) Premier Eases astern Crisis By Resignation reat Britain Relieved by Action Taken by Leading Government Official; Demands Are Being Met LONDON, Nov. 24.—(By The Associated Press!)— hat the Egyptian crisis has been greatly eased by the resignation of Premier Zagloul Pasha, is the view under- stood to have prevailed at an hour apd a half’s session of the cabinet called this noon, to consider the Egyptian reply o the British demands.

RENO DIVORCES PERMANENT THROUGH COURT DECREE THAT AFFECTS NUMEROUS CASES By L. C. OWEN. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) RENO, Nev., Nov. 24,—Fifty thou- sand mismated persons who, inethe past 15 years, have sought refuge in Reno, resided here for the prescribed six months, filed sworn divorce Petitions stating they contemplated staying here for the rest of thelr natural lives and then—as sdon as their decrees had been granted— hastily shook the desert dust of the Sage Brush State from their feet, no longer need live in fear and trembling that they are suddenly going to find themselves as much merried as ever—some with added bigamous wives or husbands on their hands. Reno, diverces are | permanent things. Moreover, it will be no harder in the future to obtain a} Reno divorce than it was 15 years ago when Mts. William Ellig Corey and the’ late Nat Goodwin started the Nevada divorce vogue.

It was through the message “we are praying for you," contained in hundreds of telegrams reaching the White House while Mrs. Harding Was il] there, he said, “that the con- viction came to her one day that she was not going to die and from that ‘time she fought steadily oh with @ great faith in divine provi- dence until her- recovery became assured.” “It was in this faith she lived, in this faith she did, her work, on this faith she relied and found sure sup- port when her beloved was taken away from her and it was in the possession of this faith that she went home to God.” The Rev. Dr, Swank related a con- versation with Mrs. Harding soon after her arrival in Marion with the body of her husband, in which she waid: ; “My faith in Christ 1s the only thing that-has enabled me to bear up under this great sorrow. I feel that His grace, is sufficient for me. Were it not for that I would despair.” i “The last reqRest Mrs. Harding made of me,” the Rev.

From ‘Silent’ Smith to “Smiling Jack" Harding, America’s Magellans of the air had well nigh run the gamut of human experiences be- fore they set forth on the round the yorild flight. Their varied careers nd colorful experiences had made them resourceful and had filled them with all the necessary grit and pluck to tackle the most difficu’t and haz- ardous undertaking ever attempted by. American aviators. No doubt it was partly Lecause of this resource- fulnets, courage and stamina that they were selected. © Of the six circumnavigators, five are of as pure American stock as can be found on this continent. All five are direct descendants of the early colonists from Britain. One is a descendant of the Pilgrim fathers who crossed on the Mayflower. An- other is a descendant of Daniel Boone. Two come from fine old routhern families. The fifth ts a de- scendant of the sea captains of the Connecticut coast who commanded the tea clippers and whaling schoon- ers in’ the days when. America's merchant fleet was conspicuous on every sea. Only one of the six is a natural ized Amercan, and he appropriately enough, {s a descendant of the VI- kings the most picturesque navi gators and sea rovers in al) his tory. Three of the six birdmen who manned the first fleet of serial world cruisers ran away from home when they were youngsters and did everything from sailing around the world before the mast and playing hazardous parts dn motion picture productions to serving under Pancho Villa, the rebel-bandit of Mexico, After the world cruiser Seattle had crarhed and fallen a twisted mass of wreckage amid the mountains of an uninhabited region on the Alaskan peninsu’a, climinating Major Wred-} erick L, Martin and Sergt. Alva Harvey from the flight, Lieut. Lo- well Smith became the leader of the expedition, because he happened to be the senior officer. But all six of the remaining flying Neutenants adhere to an aerial code of free ma- sonry that puts them on an, equal footing in the light of history. So in infroducing them it is only right that we should do as they have done and-not stand on ceremony but merely review their previous careers in a sort of haphazard fash- fon. Descendant of Daniel Boone. Lieut. Lowe!l Smith, commander of the men who completed this 26,- 000 miles of aerlal flight around the globe, {s the one who is descended from Daniel Boone. Although his father and mother are Californians by adoption their reiatives on both sides of the fam- ily. were among the pioneers who fought the Indians, built log cabins, and cut little clearings out of the virgin’ forest in what is today the state of Kentucky. His great-grandfather was a stal- wart backwoodsman of the Roosevel- tian type, who .wore a coon skin cap, carried a long barreled flint- lock, wore a horn of powder at his belt, and was the father of seven- teen children. Coming from such stock it’s not surprising that ‘Si- lent” Smith had the stuff to enable him to pilot the squadron of aero» planes on the first round the world flight. Lowell H, Smith was born on Oc- tober 8, 1892, at Santa Barbara, Cal. He is the son of a Seventh Day Ag- ventist Evangelical minister who can build hydro-power plants and operat a lathe as well as he can preach the gospel. Lowell derives his mechanical aptitude from his father and his tactiturn, silent disposition plus an exceptional amount of pluck grit, and dogged determination from his mether. It is on his mother’s ride that he Is descended from Dan- fel Boone. He is the second of a family of four children and as a child Lowell lived first in Santa Barbara, then (Photos by Pacific snd Atlantic.) ROUND-THE-WORLD FLIERS REACH SAN DIEGO. Was a Direct De- scendant of Dan- tel Boone; Had Fine Training in North Yakima and Spokane, Wash., and later on in San Fern ando, Cal., where the Rev. Jaspar G Smith ‘alternated between™the pul pit and the more lucrative profes. sion of mechanical and’ electrical engineering. Typical Minister’s Son. Like a typical minister’s son; Lowell, became fed-up with what he regarded as unfair parental severity. If there ever was a minister’s son who didn't run away from ‘home or at least long to do so he is the ex- ception to the species that proves the rule. “Silent” Smith enticed one of the members of his local gang to go with him when he shook the dust of San Fernando from his shoes and hooked a ride on a through freight to taste of the flish-pots of San Francisco, But his pal didn’t have the sand to go through with the hing’and dropped out of the scene a few days later. Young Smith's first job was in a ‘lorist’s shop. Then -he juggled dishes n a lower Market street beanery for a while and afterwards pushed north nto Washington where he got a job 1s callboy for the Northern Pacific callroad at a little town In the Cas- szades. When the divirional superin- endent sent orders for a train to nove out it was “Silent Smittty’s” job to go out around the town and ind the engineer and fireman. After six months of knocking vbout from one job to another he re- curned home in response to the pleas xf his mother. Although he declares that he gained much valuable ex- perience from this adventure run- aing away from home as na od plan for other boys, first, because of the danger of taking the wrong road and falling In with evil com pantons, and second, because of the pain it causes a boy's mother.

After five months there he left without notice and spent a year cr more in middle western states. He returned to Casper last summer and was employed until three weeks ago-at the Hotel Hen- ning. Schoel appeared at Red Cross headquarters a week ago, Novem- ber 18, told his story, and said he was anxious to be sent back to the Sheridan hospital He was referred by Miss Ellis to Chester L. Greedy of the Veterans Bureau. Mr. Greedy has sent to the Iowa bureau request- ing that Schoel’s file be transferred to this, office so that he can be again certified for hospitalization in Wyoming. At the time of his visit to charity headquarters, Schoel said his wife and children had left him a year ago in Minnesota and that he had no knowledge of their whereabouts. His brother, Gilbert Schoel, employed at the Henning, said this morning he had seen nothing of his brother for more than a week, and did not know whether he was in needy cir- cumstances or whether his family had rejoined him. Schoel himself has not visited either bureau or charity headquarters since his first call a week ago, Officials of the Chest drive were anxious that the pubiic be assured that no legitimate request for ald is ever rejected by Red Cross or by any other chartiy organization associated in the présent campaign.
