.HOXSEY MAY ATTEMPT
TO BEAT RECORD AGAIN
Manbird Fears His Mark of H.
474 Feet May Not Be Ac-
cepted as Official

Arch Hoxsey in all probability will
go after a new worlds altitude record
today.
There is a slight question in the
minds of members of the aviation COM
mittee as to the official acceptance by
the Aero club of America and by SINH
lar clubs in Europe of Hoxsey's rec
ord of 1,474 feet made Monday.
This is due to the fact that the COM
mittee did not provide the aviator with
a barograph containing chart such as
the Aero club of America has decreed
shall be carried in all flights for alti-
tude.
On his Mondays fight Hoxsey car
ried a barograph which showed the dis
tance travelled by a series of squares
representing 800 meters each. Reading
of this instrument is difficult, but the
calculation can nevertheless be made
positive.
The Aero club Paragraph shows the
various heights reached in figures on
the chart, and is therefore easier to be
read.
Roy Knabenshue, manager for the
Wrights, and HoXsey himself do not
want to have the record questioned, So
to cinch the new record Hoxsey will
soar into the icy clouds a thousand feet
or more in excess of two miles to set
new mark.
The local committee yesterday re-
ceived the official sanction of the Los
Angeles meet from the Aero club OF
America.

'I am ready to meet the Russian Lion,' as
they call him. and show him that 1 am
still worlds champion. l would prefer that
the match be pulled of in the next three
or four weeks. After meeting him I will
stay on the mat long as any Of them

talk short time ago and he did not say
he had changed his mind"
And Will you break the engagement II
he returns TO the mat?"
Just moments hesitation.
mo, 1 would not want to say that, but
I cannot say definitely until talk things
over with him. He promised me--but then
I guess I'd better see Frank"

Progress is being made at rate of 10 feet

SUPREME COURT Rejects
PLEA OF BANK FOR LIFE

decision affecting the state bank acts of
1903 and 1909 has been rendered by the su-
preme court in the of the State of Cali
fornia, plaintiff, and the Bank of san Luis
Obspo, defendant which has been in court
for a number of years.
Under the bank act of 1903 action was be-
gun the state 20 declare the Bank Of san
Luis Obispo insolvent and force the institu-
ton into liquidation and restrain 1t from doing
any banking business. Judgment favoring the
state was rendered and retrial was refused.
The bank officials appealed to the higher
court and brought out the fact that during
the time of the trial of the case the bank
act Of 1903 had been repealed and the act of
1909 which would have dissolved the action,
had become a law.
The supreme court has denied the motion
to vacate and annu judgment, and the denial
of the lower court OF a motion for a retrial
has been affirmed.
