AR MY BALLOON
With LIFELESS
CAPTAIN FOUND
Instruments Indicate That
BallOOnist Broke AIti-
tude Record

SPARTA, Tenn, Nov. 5, P-A
severed tube, apparently cut acci-
dentally by a knife in his own hands
which stopped the flow of life suS-
tanning oxygen, was believed tonight
to explain the death above the clouds
yesterday of Captain Hawthorne c.
Gray army aeronaut, after he as
cended to an unofficial worlds alti-
tude record for free balloons.
Gray'S log, taken from the basket
of his wrecked balloon after it's re-
covery, together with the aeronaut's
body six miles from here today, re-
lated at 3:15 o'clock Friday the ball
loon assembled to 10000 feet That was
the final entry. What happened al
terwards can only be construed from
mute evidence found in the wrecked
basket.
With the goal of his flight from
Scott Field, at Belleville, ILL.,, attain
ed, Gray apparently sought to go ever
higher Examination of his body and
the basket indicate that he took out
his sheath knife possibly to cut away
Superflous equipment in order to rise
higher. The severed oxygen tube, pre-
Sumably cut by knife, closes the
story.
Officials and aviatorS who exam
ined the balloons Paragraph and in
struments said they indicated that
Gray finally reached an altitude OF
$4,000 feet, several thousand feet
above the present official mark. The
instruments will be forwarded tc
washington for Celebration.

break the altitude record. The two
previous one almost ended fatally
On the last occasion, May 4 he
reached an altitude of 42,47O feet, but
the mark was disallowed because he
had to jump with parachute to
save his life. The first attempt ended
in a field near Ashley, ILL.,, where he
was found by army pursuit planes
that had followed him. An escort OF
planes attempted to follow Gray yes
terday but lost him in the fog over
southern Illinois and were forced tC
give up the chase.
The first news from the balloonist
after the pursuit planes lost him came
this morning when a farmer drove
here and excitedly told the story OF
a dead aviator in the wrecked bal
loon. He said he first discovered the
bag drifting late yesterday and at
tempted to seize one of the ropes and
haul it down but was unsuccessful
He gave chase and later across q
range of the Cumberland mountains
he found it lodged in a tree. He made
no report of his find because he did
not suspect there was anyone in the
basket.
Today boy climbed the tree where
the basket lodged and discovered the
body. It was brought here by a res
cue party. Physicians said the found
no bruises and that apparently death
was caused by suffocation or heart
trouble Gray was wearing an oxygen
mask when found
The spot where the balloon fell is
about 80 miles in airline from Scott
Field, officials said. Gray was not
sighted during the flight, they be-
lieved, because of his high altitude
and the wild nature of the country
he was traversing.

Bank of Italy Takes
Rank Second Only To
New York Institutions

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19 P.-The
bank of Italy, with headquarters in
this city, today achieved the pre-
eminent position of being the largest
banking institution in the country OUT
side of New York City.
Endorsement by the federal reserve
board in Washington today of an appG-
capital accumulation of any bank of the
terests with the Liberty Bank of
America makes this announcement
possible, said President James A.
Bacigalupi, of the Bank of Italy.
AS a result of the merger, stockhold-
ers of Liberty bank will receive $4,000
shares of the stock of the Bank of
Italy, thereby increasing the capital
of the Bank Of Italy and the affiliated
stockholders auxiliary corporation by
approximately $3O,O00,O00 and making
the combined capital investment up
wards of $1O5, 900. This will give
the Bank of Italy the second largest
capital accumulation of any bang of the
United States The bank has branches
throughout the state of California

according to local tradition now. will
be subjected to the requirements of
the state inheritance tax law.
None of the three brothers, Sam
uel, Robert or Albert, left a will, Mr..
Garbutt said, and the estate would be
subject to division among the heirs.
There is some possibility that there
are neices and nephews, children of
older brothers living in Canada or
California. SO far as he knows, Chas.
Blackmore, IS is the only heir After
living with his brothers for IA years
he left for England last December
after Albert, the last of the trio had
died in November. Superstitious
Charles Blackmore refused to remain
on the place and returned to yelling

thousand dollars" has been uncovered
in the little one room shanty. Further
search will be made.
Discovery of the money hidden in
old shoes, tin cans, and in crevices Of
the shanty has confirmed an old tradi-
tion of the community which conferred
around the three quaint characters
among the earliest settlers in the coun-
ty. Living isolated lives seldom COM

the brothers were known as hermits
who earned a living through trapping,
farming and doing chores Tor nelsh-
boring farmers. An ironical feature
of the discovery is the fact that the
wealth which the trio hid upon their
