Lieut.. Apollo Soucek Might
Otherwise Have Made New
Altitude Record.
REACHES TEMPERATURE
OF 81 BELOW ZERO
Navy Flyer in Air 40 Minutes.
Flight Is Executed for
Trial Purposes.

His goggles frozen over with film o.
ice which blinded him, Lieut.. Apollo
Soucek, engineering section of the Navy
Bureau of Aeronautics, was forced to
earth at the Anacostia Naval Air Sta
ton yesterday afternoon after flying to
an altitude Of $4,000 feet in the Wright
Apache Navy plane in which Lieut.. C.
G.. Champion established a worlds al
tirlde record of 38,418 feet on July rs,
1877. Lieut.. Soucek encountered tenn
peratures of 81 degrees below zero at
thu top of his climb, as indicated by an
aurt matte recording thermometer.
Had 1t not been for the formation of
ice which he could not clear from his
goggles, Lieut.. Soucek's flight might
have resulted in the establishment Of
new altitude record, as his motor was
functioning perfectly, and he was still
climbing in the rare, cold air when he
caught the last glimpse of his instru-
ment panel.
Lieut.. Soucek took off with As gallons
of gasoline in his tanks, and was in the
air only about 40 minutes, the little
plane reaching the top of its climb with
in % minutes after he left the field
purposes, it was announced. The pilot
was not as heavily clothed as is Gus
tomary for altitude flights, wearing
nothing under his fur-lined flying suit,
as he expected to be in the extreme
cold Of the upper air only few min
utes. He reported upon landing that
he was comfortable throughout the
flight.
The plane used by Lieut.. Soucek was
especially equipped for the flight Of
Lieut.. Champion, which resulted in es-
Enlistment of the present world alti-
tude record Owing to this special equip
ment, which includes supercharging
equipment to compress the thin air and
deliver it to the carburetor at normal
densities, and special oil-cooling appara-
tus. the plane is not used for regular
flying purposes, and yesterdays trial
flight was one of the first which has
been made in the plane for some time.

his own stuff" AS a reporter for the
New York Times, Shuman Travelled
with Lindbergh on his flight through
Mexico, Central America and the West
Indies.
Most of the time on the Central
American fight, Shuman continued,
Lindbergh was unable to write his own
daily newspaper story because of the
press Of other engagements. But on
one flight from Porto Rico to Santo
Domingo, he added, the aviator wrote
his impressions on the planes naviga-
ton chart.
"This story was the best of the trip.
Shuman asserted, and I did not
change . single word Of it."

from administering the store licen-
sing act passed by the last legislature
was filed in federal court today by
Lafayette A. Jackson, proprietor OF
the Standard Grocery Company, op-
Grating 225 stores in indianapolis.
The act. requiring q license of all
stores in the state on a graduating
scale depending on the number OF
stores under single ownership or
management, is attacked on the
grounds that it is discriminatory
and violates the bill of rights in
the United States Constitution and
the Indiana constitution.
without making them parties
the suit declared it was filed in be-
half of all stores in the state.
The act would require licenses of
all stores on the following scale: So
for a single store; $40 for each ad-
ditional store to and including five;
SIS each for from six to ten; $40
each for from eleven to twenty, and
$25 for each over twenty.
The tax board would be restrained
from spending any of the $4,000
appropriated by the act for expenses
preparatory to it's administration.
Legislators estimated the measure
would provide S30O0,000 or S4O00,-
900 annually for the states general
fund.
Samuel Ashby, H. H. Hornbrook
and William H. Thompson are the
plaintiffs attorneys.

Second Night Club
Queen Is Freed by
NezU York Jurors
Helen Morgan SobS Her
Way to ACquittaI in
Nuisance Trial.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 19.-Helen
Morgan was acquitted Thursday
night of maintaining a nuisance at
her night club amid some of the
most gaudy oratory that ever
reverberated through the time
stained corridors of the federal
building
Helen Of the black eyes, who used
to sell gloves before she learned to

Man" from the top of a piano,
smiled through her tears at the
jurors just before they went out at
ABS p. m. yesterday. They returned
at 8:55 p. m.
Il don't want to think any more
about it," said Miss Morgan, after
the aCquittal.
She did not take the stand in her
own defense; she did not reply to
charges by prohibition agents that
she drank brandy and sat on the
bar at the Furnace Club, f1inging
dollar bills to dancers.
Sits Weeping In Court
She denied nothing, but just sat
in court weeping softly while attor-
neys wilted their collars in wrestling
with such phrases as Stink down
the pathway to corruption" and
shout it from the housetops."
The acquittal marked the second
failure of the government to convict
a night club hostess under the
nuisance law. Recently Texas
Guinan was freed after she had
taken the stand, ratified her dia-
monds and traded wisecracks with
lawyers until the prosecutor was
forced to admit: "She is the tough
est. customer I ever had on cross
examination
Miss Morgan placed all her faith
in j. Arthur Adler, her attorney.
Weeps for Attorney

dropped some tears on her attor-
ney's shoulder. He then introduced
her to each of the jurors, all the
while keeping his shoulder available
for instant use.
Meanwhile, Miss Guinan had lost
