AIR HERO TO CLIMB AGAIN HE DECLARES

Major Schroeder, Test Pilot, Climbs Six Miles in Air Over Dayton Field Breaks Rec

ord. WAS aboveTichmond

(By Associated Press) DAYTON, O., Feb. 28 Major Schroeder, chief test pilot at McCook field, who- yesterday fell more than fire miles In two minutes, after shattering the world's altitude record, miraculously escaping death, lies today In the Army post hospital near here, recovering from partial blindness, and determined to make another ascent into the heavens at the first opportunity. Major Schroeder climbed yesterday to a height of 36,020 feet, then plunged downward more than five miles when he lost control of his machine after his oxygen supply was exhausted. While still 2,000 feet above the ground v the aviator, regaining his presence of fa mind, righted the plane and sailed yTl down to make a graceful landing on V McCook field. Blinded When Landing When attendants rushed to the flyer's machine after he had landed they found him sitting erect in the .plane, blinded and unconscious. His eyeballs had been frozen, the temperature at the height to which he had ascended, by 67 degrees below zero, fahrenheit. At the hospital last night Major Schroeder told of the climb to heights never before attained, of his battle against cold, wind and lack of air, and of his determination to mount 40,000 feet above the ground, his objective when he took the air yesterday. Tells Own Story "I was thinking only of my desires to climb 40.000 feet when suddenly my oxygen stopped flowing," he said. "I thought something was wrong, so I raised my goggles, which were coated with ice within and without, just to see whether I had fully opened

the tank containing the emergency eupply. It had exhausted itself. "All at once it seemed as though there was a terrible explosion within my head and I don't know what happened. My eyes. hurt terribly and I could not get them open.- It just seemed like I was peeping through a crack. There was a terrible rush of air and I seemed to realize that I was falling. 1 "I guess I pulled up hard on the stick because I knew I must straighten out for a glide. That thought always has been paramount in my mind; it has been the safety-first idea tnat I guess became a part of me. lane Rides Easily Again " TuAi the ship seemed to again v ride easy. Once more I opened my tf eyes and apparently the ground was ?T! nowhere about. Again I closed them tightly, and once more opened them as much as I could. I then realized that I was over Wilbur Wright field, and close to the hangars. 1 couldn't land there; I was afraid of my eyes going entirely back on me. " I tilted the machine for a climb, intending to make sure of good altitude and then jump lor it with my parachute. But at that instant McCook field came in sight, and I guess I became an automaton, and came down all right. I don't remember landing. As Far West as Richmond. "When I took off I headed west and in the ascent think I got as far away e.s Richmond, Ind., about forty miles. The wind in the upper strata was terrific, a sort of trade wind blowing east. Still I kept the ship's nose to the west and continued to climb, but by the time I had attained my greatest height the wind had pushed me back to a point possibly thirty miles east of Dayton." Major Schroeder took the air yesterday forenoon. He climbed above the clouds, but the exhaust gas from his plane, freezing in the frigid temperature caused a cloudlike formation resembling the tail of a comet to hang in the sky. Believe it a Comet As the plane was not visible from the earth thousands of Dayton citizens who stood gazing at the formation during the noon hour believed it to be the tail of a comet. f Some of the witnesses inclined to the belief that a "trango body was "' coming to earth with a message from Mars. These beliefs were dispelled, however, by Prof. Win. Bock, astronomer at St. Mary's college, who observed the airplane through a telescope. Thousands of persons massed in the streets saw the airplane appear, a mere black speck against the blue f ky. They saw it become larger and larger, leaving a long white tail in its v. ake as it fell. When the machine was about 2,000 feet above the ground the watchers saw the outlines of the r-lane as it hurled downward in a tail spin. Then they saw the machine suddenly righted. It was at this time that Major Schroedei palled the control stick. 67 Below Zero The instruments on Major Schroeder's machine tell the story of his fight against the elements as he climbed upward, foot by foot. His thermometer recorded a temperature of 67 degrees below zero. The barograph reading indicated an altitude of 37,000 feet, and when calibrated by Captain Harrison W. Flickinger, showed an official altitude of 36,020 feet, a new world's record and a variation of less than 1.000 feet. The mark set by Major Schroeder r.gain gives him the record which Roland Rohlfs won from him July 20, 1919 with an official altitude of 30,300 feet, and later increased In a second &. flight to 31,000 feet. It also breaks "Zs the record of Adjutant Casale, a French pilot, who was credited with Itn unofficial record of 33,137 feet. Modern inventions, largely resultContinued on Page Ten

FINAL CHAPTER OF "BOOZE WAR" BEGUN

IRON RIVER. Mioh., Feb. 28 The final phase of "the bloodless liquor rebellion" in Iron county was begun today in the office of Martin S. McDonough, state's attorney, where J. E. Converse, assistant attorney general of Michigan, opened the state inquiry

into the recent clash of authority be

tween forces of county and federal agents. Mr. Converse telegraphed the attorney general at Lansing last night for permission to he'd the investigation in public "to give Iron county the same publicity received by Major A. V. Dalrymple", author of the phrases "whiskey rebellion, and "open revolt", applied when McDonough and county and city officials took from a federal prohibition agent several barrels of confiscated wine. Upon Attorney General Grosbeck answer depended Iron River's chance of a final thrill to cap a week of starting events. This little hill-locked mining village which never had seen so much excitement in so short a time, was eager for a public hearing, because there were many here who had not been able to figure out what all the excitement was about. John, Peter and Steven Scalicucci, padrones of the local Italian colony, and makers of the wine which started all the trouble, McDonough and the deputy sheriffs of Iron countv and the

police of Iron River were among thej

witnesses summoned by Mr. Converse. Iron River was put on its good behavior during the hearing, for only one policeman was left on duty. The patrolman constituted the town's active force while the chief, the captain and the lieutenant attended the investigation. A federal investigation of the "revolt" was conducted yesterday by George F. Cummerow, special agent of the department of justice, who examined a number of witnesses behind closed doors.

WILSON HAS ALLIED NOTE ON ADRIATIC President Will Send Reply Early Next Week No Change is Contemplated in His Stand. BRITISH PRESS DIVIDED

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 The British and French premiers reply to President Wilson on the Adriatic question was read today by the president and he is expected to send his rrply early next we.k. Officials were not disposed to discuss the latest note from London, but it was said that the withdrawal of the agreement of Dec. 19, pending an attempt by Italy end Jugo-Slavia to reach a satisfactory agreement among themselves, as proposed by the premiers, could have little effect on the ultimate outcome of the negotiations. The principle enunciated in that agreement will remain the same and the American government will continue to adhere to its original position that a settlement to which Jugoslavia objected, was not to be forced on that country. The president's course in the Adrij.tic matter was criticised today in the senate in the first debate on the subject. Senator Kellog. Republican, of Minnesota, one of the mild reservation Republicans, who has been working for ratification of the treaty, took the lead in the attack, and he was joined by the treaty's irreconcilable fees.

LONDON, Feb. 2S Correspondence between the allied premiers and President Wilson relative to the Adriatic settlement is given much prominence in this morning's Loitdon newspapers but several refrain from commenting on the situation. "So ends the attempt of premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau to coerce the Jugo-Slavs," says the Times, which throughout has supported President Wilson. "Neither of them has reason to be proud of his i-ffort to bully this small people, which Mr. Wilson has virtually forced them to drop. Mr. Lloyd George and Premier Millerand have rushed into the true path into which the American president has driven them. We imagine he will continue to shepherd them along it. perhaps with a somewhat grim smile." Praise Sincerity Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand are credited by the Express with "frank sincerity" in conceding Mr. Wilson's point, and the newspaper thinks "the best hope and the best guarantee of peace lies in Italy and Jugo-Slavia reaching a settlement by mutual agreement. The Chronicle sharply scores President Wilson and declares his original note was "scarcely less than violence". "It is not easy," remarks the newspaper, "for a European reader to peruse that first note without feelings akin to amazement. It is assumed Mr. Wilson will accept the offer of Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand. It is certainly withiii Mr. Wilson's power to make ensuing negotiations bear fruit if he wishes it, but his first note inspires serious doubt whether he really does wish it."
