Aviator Scars Eleven Thousand Seven
Hundred Feet, with Parmelee One
Thousand Feet Below Him.

CHICAGO. Aug. 19.-OsCar a. Brndley
scared higher in the air today than any
aeroplane ever has been and set a new
worlds record Of 1l,5S5 feet. Philip q.
Psrmelee followed him, passing the former
American record and reached 10SS7 feet
before he was forced to descend
Both Paragraphs were corrected by Cap
tain Clarence Culver OF the fifth United
States cavalry and certified by the execu-
tive committee OF the International meet.
International rules Of aviation, according
to G. F. c. Wood, secretary Of the Aero
Club OF America provide that an aviator
must fly at least 100 metres (o2S feet) higher
than any previous record before he shall
have been declared to have established a
new record.
The worlds record was TO- 10 feet made
by NJ, Loridan at Mourmelon, France, July
s., 1911. Captain Felix recently flew to q
height of ll,l52 feet at Etamps, France,
but his flight haB not yet been accepted

James Ward and Earle ovingtou, flying
at comparatively low levels, both had mar
row escapes from death. The propeller Of
Wards machine broke into hundred
pieces as he flew before the grand stand
and pieces Of wood tore the canvas, but
the aviator held tight and brought his
machine wobbling to the ground, Owing
ton with his engine stopped, not quite able
to reach shore, found a landing place In
five feet OF water. from which he escaped
with no other injury than ducking.

Said to Have Chopped
Off Finger So as to
Be Let Out of Army

Charged with deliberately and wilfully
chopping off the index finger of his right
hand with an ak to lncapacitate himself for
duty, Private Walter J. Morse. Company
II, signal corps, will be brought to trial
before the general court-martial at Fort
Crook Tuesday morning 1t is alleged he
employed this extreme means to secure his
discharge from the army. The case is one
OF the most remarkable in military history,
army men say.
Morse, who Is stationed at Fort Omaha,
cut off the finger on July IA. 1t can be
proved, II Is said, that he threatened to
cut off his whole hand II necessary to
get cut OF the army.
The puzxling part OF the situation is the
fact that the case comes under no rules
and regulations set down for the court
martial board. The only law governing 1t
Is the ftfty-second article OF war, which
states that any soldier who wilfuny in
capacitates himself for duty can be SEN
fenced as the court-mtrtial board shall
direct. II 1t can be proved that he delib-
erately cut off the finger, Morse will be
liable to severe punishment.
Major F.. A. Dale Of the medical corps,
is head OF the board and Lieutenants K
Cowan and Hartigan are members First
Lieutenant Harris is acting as attorney for
several men being tried.
Morse'j cas5 will give opportunity to
establish q precedent The charge will be
q hard one to prove and tho question OF
punishment will be still harder. One Of
ficer of the board declares that even II
guilty he sh ould be given only six months
Imprisonment, and then should be made
to learn to shoot with his second finger.
