successfully by air mail planes in taking

The flyers, who scared alOft at 8:54

pm. last night after their plane had
descended too low to drop a note, and
its wheels had skinned the dimly

lasted 10 hours 81 minutes, and 10 sue
Cessful contacts were made with the re-
fueling device, during which 30 gallons

aboard.
Accidentally Touch Ground.
Rhinsr was at the controls when the
plane accidentally touched the earth.
Although observers did not see the land
ing wheels spin, Tuxhorn. the chief
pilot. realized his craft had been dis
qualified and brought it down. His
sportsmanShip in ruling himself out of
a chance at the cherished record was
praised by Hayden Campbell of st. Jo-
seph. official observer, and the builders
of the trim little Barling monoplane
which he used.
About II gallons of gasoline remain

supply in the tanks at the take-of and

The altitude of 20,270 feet attained
by Miss Louise McPhetridge at Oak

nized yesterday by the National Aero
nautic Association as the highest at
tanned by a woman In America under
official supervision.
The Aeronautic Association said they
had no information on the record of
Lady Heath in England, and that her
highest altitude under official recog-
nized supervision in this country was
16.43o feet.

ing that there is no such classification
in records of the Federation Aero

For this reason, they added. the fly

flights by other women. The record
altitude, which she would have had to
exceed in order to be recognized as

firmative answer brought a peremp-
tory challenge from the prosecution
One foundry worker, D. T. Rivers
said: Il believe that the strikers
were minding their own business and
not bothering anybody, and the po-
lice had no right to interfere with
them" He gave an affirmative an
swer when asked if he thought the
strikers had a right to defend them
selves when the police, led by Alder
holt, came without a warrant to in
terfere. He said that bog had
handed him a copy of the Daily
Worker and he had read it carefully
and that he was sympathetic with
the defendants. He was challenged
and eliminated by the state.
State Likes Observer.
Reading the Daily Worker or the
Labor Defender seems to disqualify
a person for jury service, puo read
ing the Charlotte Observer, the re-
dictionary organ of the Duke Power
interests and the mill owners, does
not prejudice the prospective jurors,
according to the state.
Another invariable question of the
prosecution was: "Are you a mem
Der of any labor organization, and
do you read labor papers ?" Those
who said Eyes" were challenged by
the state, but when they said they
read only the local capitalist papers,
they were passed almost without
further questioning.
The state challenged ten peremp-
torily and three for cause. The de-
tense exercised eleven peremptory
challenges and nine for cause. One
was excused by the court because he
was a county employee. .

Several merchants admitted pre-

perhaps none of the defendants were

One hundred and twenty-six of the

The others are from nearly towns.

seems certain that it will be neces-

The trial will not start until next
Monday, probably.
The prosecution requested the de-
Tense to agree to consolidate all
three charges of assault, conspiracy,
and murder and have the defendants
tried on all three at one time. Fear
ing difficulty in getting conviction
for murder, the prosecution hopes to
get conviction for assault and con-
