reached an unofficial altitude of 3d.
900 feet from Wright field yesterday.
and brought down with them an ac-
count OF condition above the clouds
which metcorologists long have sus-
pected but never have been able to
prove.
The fliers, Lieut.. johnson and
Captain A. w. Stevens. pilot and
photographer, were forced down by
deplenished fuel at Norton field, Co.
lumbus. Ohio.
The instruments attached to the
plane. used in many test and altitude
flights. indicated that they reached
an altitude outreachlng the record
of 3S.420.5 feet held by Lieut.. c. c.
Campion, of the United States navy.
No record was claimed beca use rules

General Bramwell Booth were made
at today's resumption of the ses-
sions of the high council Of the Sal
vation Army which again took up
the question Of deposing the aged

interests at the recent adjudication:
J. A. Pollard. the army's chancellor
OF the exchequer rs years ago. and
Maurice Whitlow. now a newspaper
man.
Both Pollard and Whitlow. as for
mer officials OF the army had been
called as witnesses in the new ad-
judication proceedings.
The presence of two lawyers rep
resenting the high council at today's
session was the ground for objec-
ton by the generals representa-
tives who contended that the mem-
bers Of the high council were not
defendants. but judges, and there
fore needed no attorneys present.
