highest altitude gained was 5000 feet.
Perhaps the most important dis
coyery made by the pilot balloon,
according to Major Edgar Tobin,
secretary of the San Antonio Aero
nautical Association, was the fact
that winds and upper currents VIII
carry the racing balloons in exactly
the direction most desired for the
race--toward Maine, Canada or the
mouth of the st. Lawrence river.
Chance to Break RecOrd.
According to the log of the flight,
the direction held to north and
northeastern course through the trip.
The balloonists say that If the course
is attained from the start. there is
much better chance of making a
DISTANCE flight across the continent
than there will be il the balloons
start in any other direction, as cur
rents are known to shift northeast
ward from San Antonio, and it is
thought that with good send-off
and clear course, it will be almost
an assured thing that the national
balloon racers will establish new
records for America and for the
world.
The balloon on its trial flight made
a rip cord landing ON the farm of
Joseph Amacher. at Cibolo. The
balloon and the equipment were
packed and shipped to Brooks Field

Noe held on April % in San Antonio,
assumed the proportions OF fact when

Hight from Brooks Field Sunday,
()March 30. in order to determine the
direction of upper air currents and
|lto establish more definitely the pos
Esible chances of racing pilots in the
National Race to break distance
ftecords through favorable atmospheric
t3conditions. The balloon party re-
turned to San Antonio Monday, with
its pilots firmly convinced that air
conditions found insure the breaking
tpf all records in the national race.

Tuesday morning the following
bulletin was sent out from Brooks
Field: ATTACHED herewith is the
log Of the flight which was made in
the balloon which will pilot the Ma
tional Balloon Race. 1t will be noted
that the air conditions found were
such as to practically insure the
breaking of the records during this
race. Travelling from Brooks Field
to New Braunfels in one hour and

ago. She said he had admitted" his
identity TO her, telling her that the
real reason for his flight from Vienna
was that he had hlackened the eye
Of Emperor Franz Josef for applying
vile name TO his mother. Having
broken his sword and thrown the
pieces at the feet of his emperor, he
told his hearers, he stalked from the
palace, refused his soldiers proffer
to place him on the Austrian throne
and left the country forever.
He explained, Mrs. Fairchild said,
that he was responsible for the ship
wreck story. This was to end for
ever any attempt to have him re-
turned to Vienna, she said he told

said he was the Archduke Johann Sal

Austrian court in 1889 and was sup
posed to have died in steamship
wreck q year later, died in a Bronx
hospital Monday.
New York City's official records
show him to have been the former

fact that he had been reported to
have died on many occasions. each
time in different part of the
world, during the past 81 years.
Dr. John Grimley who attended the
distinguished looking old gentleman.
said he was convinced his patient had
been the former nobleman because OF
his apparent intimate knowledge Of
European courts. So the death certi-
