AFTER NEW MARK
Honeywell Expects Distance
Honor in Flight From
Geneva.
TO LAND IN RUSSIA
Pilot of Uncle Sam Aims to Short
en- Time by Low
Altitude,
10 LAND IN RUSSIA
BY the Associated Press.

ISy the Associated i'reSS.
ST. LOUIS, July 15.--H. f. Hoi-.y-
well, pilot of the Uncle Sam, ons of
the three American entrants in the
interna tional balloon race for the
Gordon Bennet cup, starting frrm
Geneva, Switzerland, August e, hopes
to win first honors by flying as low
as possible and staying in the air
longer than other entrants, thereby
making more distance. az
Expecting to-land in Russia, Capt
Honeywell said his plan OF flight
probably would be different from
that OF most off his opponents in the
race, which is the fourth interna-
tional event he has entered =,
."Other entrants probably will fly,
over the Alps" he continued, land
the altitude NECESSARY TO accomplish
this will greatly shorten their time
in the air and their tfistahce: A ball
loon which flies over the Alps cannot
stay in the air more than twenty
four hours.
Two Ways of Exit.

IF l find II necessary to cross any
mountains, ! may have to rise to
$4,000 feet or more, but this L hope
to avoid. If my plans go as 1 ex-
peCt | will land in Russia"
During his career as a balloonist
Honeywell declared he has made
nearly 500 flights. having participat-
ed in more than score of races in
which he always has ranked high in
honorS. He holds many distance and
endurance trophies and probably has
the experience of flying in more parts
of the world than any other bai-
looniSt.
adventurous Flight.
Probably his most adventurous
fight was in the international race
from Stuttgart, Germany. in 1912. He
few-1.350 miles and landed in Russia,
loo miles west of Moscow. His bal
loon was torn to pieces and used for
clothing by the peasants and he was
held by the Russian authorities for
almost a week, suspected of being a
spy. The American consul effected
his release. Then. again in 1920, he
covered mere than 1000 miles. win
ming the American race from Bir-
mingham. He landed in Canada
II Honeywell should be successful
in winning the race from Geneva he
will obtain posse ession of the Gordon
Bennett cup. Il silvert trophy. which
he retains until the next interna-
tional race. The country whose en-
trant wins has the privilege of fixing
the place and date of the race for
the following year.
Honeywell is forty-nine years old
and served in both the Spanish Amer
lean and the world war. He was an
official of balloon manufacturing
concern until the United States gov
ernment took over the mamma cture
of balloons and the company went
out of business. His wife and daugh-
ter accompanied him to Geneva to
see the start of the race.

DRAFTER or HUNDRED
VALID WILLS BLUNDERS
WHEN WRITING HIS OWN

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-The
dream of Benno Loewy. a lawyer
who died in 1919 to estblish .
Benno Loewy library at Cornell,
Johns Hopkins or Leland Stan
ford. was shattered today when
the appellate division of the su-
preme court held that. although
the sdscsased had drawn hundreds
of valid Wills for others during
his cafser at the bar. his own
was invalid.
The higher court held the docu-
ment invalid because Loewy did
not meet stipulation 3, of the de-
cedent estate law. that no person
having a wife living shall ber
queath more than 'one-half of his
estate, after payment of debts to
a charitable Institution. In this
case, a university was defined as
a charitable institution. -,
The court set forth that
Loewy's entire estate was valued
at 100000; that the library was
worth $65,000. but that It had not
yet been accepted by Cornell ap-
parently because the university
was waiting to see If the $f35,e00
endowment fund scheduled to ac-
company the books, would be
forthcoming.
Recently the executor of the
estate sought court order for
sale of the bonds, claiming that
i, they had deprecated so rapidly in
value that they now were worth
only $3,0s1.
