YOUNG GUGGENHEIM
GRANTED EXEMPTION
District Board Decides Ed
mOnd Is More Useful at Home
Than in Army.

Not until some unkind words had been
uttered and Louis Marshall had called
ex-senator George b. Agnew ''unparlia- =
mentary" did the District Appeals Board
yesterday afternoon grant the exemption,
claim of Edmond a. Guggenheim, youth
ful member of the great firm of Guggen-
helm Bros owner of vast mining inter-
ests and executive chairman of the Chile
Copper Company.
NJ Guggenheim had registered for
oonscription from the Yale Club. where
lie has resided fofthe past few months
and claimed exemption on the ground of
Industrial indispensability. Claims of
this Kind are not passed upon by the
local boards. so tho matter went direct
10 the appeals body. For two weeks the
matter remained in the hands of a COM
nittee of which Col. William \. Dykman
is chairman, and yesterday 1t was favor
ably reported upon.
That TINS young financier should be
immune from service did not satisfy
Mr.. Agnew and he requested review
OF all the papers IN the case. saying
that he wanted to be satisfied that the
enterprises with which Mr.. Guggenheim
is connected could not continue without
him.

FLIES FOR HOURS

Craft Sets World Record
Lopez Coming Here.
Special Despatch to The suS


NORFOLK. Va, Sept. 13.-Capt. Riznati
OF the italian army, one of the flying
corps sent to America to help qualify
men as aviators. to-day took up four
teen passengers In a powerful CaproAi
machine, breaking n worlds record He
circled the Virginia Peninsula, flew far
into the country over Hampton Roads
and went almost as far as Cape Henry
over the water before he came back to
earth
He ascended at 12 80 o'clock this
AFTERNOON and despite northeast blow
drove his machine at terrific speed for
an endurance run of four hours over
land and water. He rose to height
OF over 5000 feet. dropped down to half
that height and scared up again to a
few feet below 1000.
He still was in the air when darkness
covered the earth apd he was hidden
from view OF hundreds Of officers and
civilians who waited for his return.
There was some anxiety for his safety
and there was talk of starting a search
for him. Long before he landed the
noise made by the big machine was
heard and the walters breathed a sigh
OF relief. He landed almost on the same
spot where he left the earth.
Major Lopez, chief Of the flying corps
sent over here from Italy, was up In a
car similar to the one in which Capt.
Riznati made his remarkable flight He
carried twelve passengers and flew far
ont over the water and miles inland.
Northeast storm warnings were flying
when Lopez and RiZnati were in the
air. Seagoing boats held to harbor,
but the powerful Italian aircraft ap-
parently were proof against the wind
and sailed as gracefully as birds.
The distance covered by Capt. Riznati
to-day was greater. army officers said
than from Norfolk to New York. Major
Lopez said to-day he will fly to New
York with twelve passengers in one OF
the Caproni machines next week. when
the commanding officer of the camp re-
turns. Officials intimated that he might
not land at all. as they wanted to make
