The officer had stopped onto the running board of the booze-carrier's car in an attempt to arrest them for making a U turn at a forbidden intersection of the Emporia streets when a shot was fired by one of the men, forcing the officer, although not wounded, to give up the pursuit. A later message, "You're unlawful," statement that there were three men in the car when they made a stop there to purchase gasoline.
Stage Driver Discovers Disaster
Howard, the stage driver who discovered the disaster, found three hats, two revolvers and a round of ammunition in the car, when he stopped to pick up the men.

Cornell Believes Separate Budget for Air Is Better
Views for Improvements of Aviation Same As Those of John
(United Press)
Rodgers
Washington, Oct. 5—A reorganization of the existing naval air service to provide for a separate centre of the air plants by applying officers was recommended to the board by Bryon Council, pilot of the DNJ.
Council said his views on possible improvements were in line with those of Commander John Rodgers, leader of successful Hawaiian flight excursion.
"A separate budget," said Connell would permit the air to obtain the funds it needs. Development had gone on very well but separate budgets would enable the bureau of the air to follow the actual cost of aviation. This would afford better advancement. Avionation must have men trained in instrument and fire from who have had air experience." Connell also favors establishment of separate promotion lists for aviators.
Col. William Mitchell was caused to the war department, and was informed officially of the charms upon which his court martial will be based.
Commander Kenneth Whiting, of the airplane division of the navy department testifying before the air inquiry board said, "Navy pilots who want a separate air service have not studied the problem sufficiently."
"Seventy per cent of the men want a separate corps, but they do that because they don't know what it entitemplates," Commander Whiting said. "All they want is control," he added. "Have any of the navy pilots ever told you that they feared to express views before an imminent attack?" Brigadier General from Connecticut asked Commander Whit ing.
"No," he replied. "Many are reductant to go before a committee of Congress in opposition to policies avowed by higher officials of the despotocracy." But in opposition towards Mitchell's unified air service?" Whiting said.
"Under a separate air service," he said, "A division of the navy will be under control of an outside force. Loyalty would be first to the outside source, then to the navy. The navy needs the full service."
Whiting approves making the naval air service a distinct unit within the department. His plan would provide a large assignment of aviators to this service.
