 Record 4O,8OO Feet
Lieut.. John A. MacReady Was Making Test of Super Charger at McCook Field, Ohio.

Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 2S-Lieutenant John A. MacReady. test pilot at McCook Field, today shattered the worlds alti- tUCe record, attaining a height of 40,S00 feet in the same La Pere biplane used by Rudolph c. Schroeder, who set rec ord of 38,1SO feet on February 2S, 1920.
 Lieutenant MacReady was in the air one hour and 47 minutes, requiring all but a few minutes of the total flying time to reach his mark. At 90.o00 feet ice formed on his oxygen tank but he pressed on until the altimeter registered 41,0O0 feet. At this point his engine coughed and died. He then glided safely to the ground.
 MacReady's new record is -2,620 feet higher than that of Schroeder, and in this flight the pilot suffered none of the hardships met by the former chief test pilot Schroeders eyeballs froze and ex- cessive dilation of the heart kept him in hospital nearly two weeks after the flight.
 The flight made today primarily was for the purpose of testing improvements ! made on the super-charger invented by s. A. Moss, who witnessed the flight and also new propeller of very higf | pitch. perfected by engineers at the To- 1 cal field
 On landing. MacReady declared h. suffered nothing but numbness. He climb ed out of the plane unassisted and poset for several photographs immediately.
 Lieutenant George B. Patterson, chic of the technical data section of the fell took charge of MacReady's instrument as soon as accumulated ice was cleare' off the ship and following calbration. an nounced the official altitude as 4o,So feet.
 Accumulation of ice on the plane a | 5s,0o0 feet caused one oxygen tank | cease functioning but auxiliary tank provided for just such an emergency wer brought into use and safety of the pi lot assured.
 Ma a3Ready was clothed in the heavies furs with Special helmet and goggles.

She was clutching at her clothing and with the assistance of her women com panions she was completely disroned. l thought some of the torn garments might bear on the point at issue, but from the prosecutions own witnesses it appears they must have been torn in being re- moved"
 Assistant District Attorney Isadore Golden interrupted with the assertion that the evidence showed one of the garments must have been torn off. The court said he could not see any l significance in certain other testimony | introduced by the prosecution. | 'Evidence has been given regarding alleged ribald conduct of the defendant regarding the use of ice. but it had no connection with any possible injuries re- ceived by the deceased although it was regrettable incident
 photographs of bruises on Miss | Rappe's body were introduced but Dr. Arthur Beardslee, who attended her, saw only one on the arm. Undoubtedly, if there had been others on the body he would have noticed them. l "Semnacher's testimony was entirely valueless and two days of court time was taken up fruitlessly hearing him.
 "The cnly one whose evidence might have connected the defendant with the commission of a crime was that of the nervous chamber maid who heard from the corridor the cry of a woman's No no, oh my God and a mans reply, Oh shut up.
 Although there were indications that
 the district attorney at trial would try to show a more complete case, there
 was the merest skeleton of evidence here to connect the defendant with the crime of murder, the most serious offenst
 known in criminal law.
 ,"The question for me to decide, is wheth CT the facts aduced, which the distric attorney admits is bareIy enough tC
 warrant holding, is enough to justify a murder charge, and I do not believe
 so.
 There is enough in the defendant'i
 actions in the affair, however, to war
 rant a manslaughter charge, and I vii
 hold him on this. I feel that no rape ,or attempted rape, was committed b.
 the defendant"

good licking in their war with the
Turkish Nationals, under Kennel Pasha.
The division Of Turkish territory by
the Allied high commission, had to be
accepted by the Constantinople govern
mcnt; but Kennel Pasha kicked out or
the traces and undertook the establish
ment of a new Turkish government in
Antolia. The Greeks had been given
considerable Turkish territory in the
award; but their insistence on the re-
instatement Of Constantine and the
overthrow of Venezelos set the wishes
of the Allied high commission at det1-
ance. The Constantinople government
did not feel warranted in defying the
Allies; but nevertheless its moral SYM
pathy has been with Kennel Pasha and
his Nationals The Crooks went in to
take what fad been awarded and then
some, declaring that they could handle
the Turks without difficulty. A big
campaign was launched against the
Turks and the Greek lines were pushed
far into Antolia, the Turkish National
lists falling away before. them. AS the
Greeks got farther away from their
base the Turks got closer to theirs.
Then suddenly last week Kennel Pasha
struck the Greeks 4 terrific blow, kHl=
ed. wounded and captured large num-
bers of them and sent the balance he'll
ter SHELTER back toward their own bor-
ders. The Allied high commission Is
presumably backing the Greeks, but 1t
is really not giving any help. About
the cnlv country that is in sympathy
with the Greeks is America; but Amer
lean sympathy is not especially mill
tant. The Greeks are practically bank
rupt, and although there is plenty or
reason TO believe that they would lick
tho Turks with q reasonable amount or
financial backing that financial back
