Ont, January 5.—The serial drama of the three American naval balloonists mushing down from Hudson Bay territory, after a marvel- ous escape from deata, is being pieced together here today from the tales of Indian trappers snowshoeing into the outposts of civilization. From the story of these Indians and a letter from the Anglicar minister at Moose Factory has been obtained a skeleton account of how America’s intrepid airmen stared into the face of death from a few hours after their start from Rockaway, N. Y., on De- cember 13 until they staggered .into Hudson Bay trading post later. They . were five days of terror. Swept along at the will of the winds; at times almost skimming the surface of the earth, but forced to rise again by dense forest; cold and so hungry that even carrier pigeons were forced into the scanty mess: the aeronauts t0 8 it rejected the amendment pro- posed by Senator Norris of Nebraska limiting the amount to be expended 10 $10,000. The eight senators voting for the Norris resolution were Sen- ators Borah of Idaho, Fletcher of “Florida, Gronna of North Dakota, Kenyon of ITowa, LaFollette of Wis- consin, McKellar of Tennessee, Norris of Nebraska and Phelan of Cali- fornia. 2 Senator Jones of Washington then offered as 2n amendment to the Knox resolution what was in effect the Nelson bill, introduced yesterday by the senior senator from Minnesota, rection of | stands along the route of the inaugu- | ral parade, except the White | House grounds and in Lafayette Square, opposite the White House. Separate Celebrations. Senator Knox pointed out that the| demonstration in the city was a sep- arate affair from that at the Capitol, and should be so construed. He urged that the resolution presented by the HARDING PALE AND finally dropped to earth after striking a clump of trees and tearing their clothes from their bodies, and then tramped through a wolf-inhabited wilderness for four days before reach- ing safety. : Indian Peared Bad Spirit. A gale encountered near Wells, N. Y., was the first item to be entered on the aeronauts’ log. Over the Adi- rondacks they swept, across the in- ternational line and toward - the northland. Three times they tried to descend, but were forced to toss bal- last overboard. | Then, hungry, exhausted, cold, they | heard the baying of a moose dog caught in a trap. Down came the joint committee be passed without amendment, as @ealing with the cere- monies at the Capitol alone. He sald that the matter of erecting stan etc., —along Pennsylvania avenud | would have to céme before Congress | later, in any event. H Senator Jones disagreed with Sen- | ator Knox, declaring that the Dis-| trict Commissioners now have author. ity to say whether the stands shall be | s#rected or not. Senator Nelsom, who introduced the | original resolution to prevent the eru-‘ tion of stands along the Toute, and who 8 a member of the joint com- | mittee, urged that the matter be al-; lfl‘;«:h::& to the District :mmjnn« an -Knox. resol pasaed without the amendment Drop We i oward ¢ “In my opinion,” said Sevator Len- root, “the inauguration_should end the Capitol when the Président-el takes the oath of office. 1 noticed in the newspaper the other day a sug- gestion that a dance might be given on the Capitol plaza while the in- augural ball was given in one of the buildings here. The suggestion ap- parently was that the inaugural ball would be attended by the aristocracy | while the peasantry might dance on | the Capito] plaza.” - i Senator Knox said that he knew | of no plan such as that referred to! by Senator Lenroot. He moved that! the amendment offered by Senator | Jones be referred to the District com- | mittee. “In view of what has been said.” in- | terrupted Senator New cf Indiana, “I | think that the Senate should under- | stand just what is Eoing to be asked | of Congress. 1 know of no plan on the | part of any one to ask for any build- | ings in which to give an inaugural ball. The only appropriation that will be asked by the District is for a sum sufficient to give proper police pro- | tection to the crowds who are coming to Washington to take part in the in- augural ceremony. The people are coming here from the states for the celebration without regard to what Congress may do. Of that I am sure, and protection should be given them | and provision made for information | bootks and convenient stations.” Before the debate began Senator | McCumber introduced a resolution, which was sent to the District com- | mittee, proposing that the hotel | charges shall not exceed during the | naugural period the charges made in | December. 1920, and January, 1921 His resolution also provided that hotels should not “demand pay for more tian ome full day unless the guest desired the accommodations for a longer period. Pickpockets and Thieves. Senator McCumber of North Dakota | asked if the police protection requested | was to keep the crowd from being 10bbed by pickpockets and thieves. “But_is any protection to be um-l vided for. the people who come here against robbery in the shape of hotel | arges,” asked Senator McCumber. | A pickpocket may rob a visitor of | and. if he is caught, will be sent | Jail. But a hotel proprietor may rob | a visitor of $100 a day and Insist upon | doing it seven times over. Is there to he any protection against him?” Proper Police Proteetion. Senator Norris of Nebraska said that | there ought to be proper police pro- | tection for the people, and that he | hoped the District committee would | report a bill providing for it. He said that it did not seem quite right to provide meats for 10,000 people to be | accommodated by the Senate stands and to say that all others must stand up along the line of parade. The amendment offered by Senator Jones, directing that the stand be not built, was defeated. Senator Jones then offered an| amendment to the Knox resolution di- | ecting the Commissioners to regulate | <harges of restaurants and hotels here | during the period from February 23 to March 10, inclusive He finaily withdrew it and had it re- ferred to the District committee, say- ing he hoped a similar measure would be reported by that committee. The Knox resolution then was pass- ' d as it was presented to the Senate.

On through the woods they pressed until they met an aged Indian who only with dificulty could be per- suaded that it was not an insane jest for white men, strangely clad and speaking of “gas-ships,” to be wan- dering through Canadfan forest lands. But ghe trio convinced him they were not bad spirits and finally they threw themselves down on the floor of the redskin's hut to rest until his squaw could make her way to Moose Fac- tory for help. This is the skeleton outline of the aerial adventure—but the details must wait until the three airmen fight their way back to civilization, led by Indian guides.

Clothing Nearly Tora Of. According to the stories of the In- dians, the howling of a moose dog caught in a trap at ‘Shipsands, the original treding post of the Hudson Bay Company, was responsible for the safety of the airmen last Sunday.

ADMIRAL'S WARDS ADMITTEDTOU. S, Welcomes Trip to Columbus to Receive 32d Degree in Masonic Order. By ROBERT T. SMALL.

If it were not for| the conferences of the “best minds” I believe Senator Harding would an- swer every single letter he receives. He likes to give a personal touch to his correspondence and is reluc- tant that Secretary Christian and his assistants are compelled to relieve him of so much of the work. Yiven in the matter of requests for autographs Senator Harding is ob-| durate and insists upon writing the signatures himself. This statement may sound ‘a bit off, but it is not an unusual custom in our public life for great men to let some confidential clerk do this work by clever imita-} tion.

Shows Lack .l- Exereise., Senator Harding i the past has been accustomed to a great deal of outdoor exercise and recreation. and the close confinement of office work the past month plainly shows its ef- fects upon him. His exercise con- sists of scarcely more than walking the few steps which separate his own house from the Christlan home, where the executive offices are established. Once in the executive oflices he does not know a moment’s rest. It must not be imagined that all of the sena- tor's conferences are being conducted in person. The long-distance tele- phone is forever finging st head quarters, and- the President-elect spends a great deal of time at this end of the wire. There are evidences in _Senator | | Harding of brain fatigue as well as bodily weariness. No man in such a short space of time has ever re- Hehlu fairly groggy with it. Much of this advice, of course, has been asked, but a very great 1 has been volun- teered.

Jmmigration Inspector L. R. Parker, in charge at this port, re- ferred O'Callaghan’s ease to the au- thorities. at ‘Washington early today. O'Callaghan planly shows signs of the -strain under which he has been passing .for the past several years. He is only-twenty-nine years of age, but already his hair i graying at the temples and his eyes appear drawn and weary. Immediately upon arrival of the West Cannon immigration authori- ties discovered the two men on board and, disregarding the claims of their jdentity, had them placed in jail pend- ing -investigation. MacSwiney car- | rled a passport, vised by an American !'consul, and could have made the trip fiepenly, but chose rather to stow away | with Lord Mayor O'Callaghan. Upon showing his passport MacSwiney was /| restored to freedom. Refused to Discuss Visit. The lord mayor, released from jail as soon as the authorities arrived. took up his residence for the time at @ leading_hotel, refusing to discuss iany details of his visit. According | to MacSwiney., however, O'Callaghan is in this country at the invitation of the committee of 100 at Washington ! investigating the Irish situation. Al- though O'Callaghan was not kept in jail, he is under guard furnished by immigration officials at his hotel. ~The British would not allow the lord mayor to visit America, and he stowed away on the steamer,” Mac- Swiney stated. “I could have come { back as a passenger, but preferred to prefer to remain at his side while he is being detained.” “Cork was in flames when we left there” he said. “Women and chil- dren were being shot and robbed along with men. The British are try- ing to make the world believe the Protestants and Catholics of Ireland are responsible for the trouble. There is not a word of truth in it. In nearly the whole of ireland the people live together . harmoniously. and th would be no_trouble were it not the English.” Shot by Britisk Troeps. Here the lord mayor interrupted | | MacSwiney with the reminder that the British troops had not long ago “shot a woman who was in a delicate con- | dition.” This was the only stautement made by the lord mayor except when |he suggested that the captain and officers of the West Cannon could tell a tale of the horrors they saw in ere | for | i i C;avenl times while MacSwiney was relating his experiences Lord Mayor O'Cailaghan_counseled him to speak cautiously but _the former was much aroused by the circumstances {'of nis late brother’s death and condi- | fighs now existing in Ireland that he seemed willing enough to speak free- y‘l‘erflnce MacSwiney did' not sieep in his bed for nearly 8ix years up to the time of his death, according to his brother, who continued “the pres- nt lord mayor has been in the same onths.
