BALLOONI8T I)IK8 IN A1K i My*t?rjr Surrounds Death of Wan At High Attitude Sparta, Tenn., Nov. 5.--A severed. tube, apparently cut accidentally by a knife in bis own hands, stopping the flow of life sustaining oxygen, was j believed tonight to explain the death j above the clouds yesterday of Captain ! Hawthorne C, Gray, army aeronaut, after he ascended to an unofficial world's altitude record for free balloons. Gray's log, taken from the basket of his wrecked balloon after its discovery together with the aeronaut's body, aix miles from here today, related that yesterday ai 3:15 o'clock the balloon ascended to 40.000 feet, that was the final entry. What transpired afterwards can only be constructed from mute evidence found in the wrecked basket. With the goal of his flight from Scott Field, Illinois, attained, Gxuy apparently sought to go even higher. Examination of his body and the basket indicate that he took out his sheath knife to sever sand bags. The broken oxygen tube, presumably cut by u knife closes the story. Local officials and aviators who examined the balloon's barograph and instruments said they indicated that Gray finally reached an altitude of 43,000 feet, several thousand feet above the present official mark. The instruments will be forwarded to Washington for final check. It was Gray's third attempt, to break the altitude record. The two previous ones almost ended fatally. On the last occasion, May 4, he reached an altitude of 42,470 feet, but the mark was disallowed because he had to jump with a parachute to save his life. Gray's first uttempt ended in a field near Ashley, 111., where he was found by army pursuit planes that had followed him. An escort of planes attempted to follow Gray yesterday hut lost him in the fog over southern Illinois and were forced to give up the chase. The first news from the aeronaut, after the pursuit planes lost him, came this morning when a farmer drove here and excitedly related the story of a dead aviator in the wrecked balloon. He said he first discovered the bag drifting aimlessly late yesterday and attempted to seize one of the ropes and haul it down but was unsuccessful. He gave chase and later, across a range of the Cumberland mountains, he found it lodges!, in a tree. He made no report of his find because he did not suspect there was any one in the basket. Today a boy climbed the tree where the basket was lodged and discovered the body. It was brought here by the rescue party which formed after hearing the farmer's story. I hysicians said they found no bruises and that apparently death was caused by suffocationor heart trouble. Gray was wearing an oxygen mask whe.i found. The spot where the balloon fell is about 310 miles in an air line from Scott Field, officials said. Gray was not sighted during the flight, they believed, because of his high altitude and the wild mountainous nature of ihe country he was t raversing. Shame Is Efficient Instructor When Cellini was a small boy he ieceived an unique lesson in memory training. He was sitting before an open fire, in company with his father and brothers, when the old gentleman espied a salamander in the flames. Cellini the elder got to his feet and procured a whip. Then-he called the children to the fire, gave them instruction in the nature and habits of salamanders, and thrashed them soundly. "I am whipping you," he explained, "in order that you may never forget having seen this remarkable creature." Cellini was an excellent liar, and the story may not be true; but there was virtue in the old gentleman's method of instruction. Many years ago I stood in a hank and chatted with a teller who had more information than tact. We were talking about money. "That," I ventured, "is a scarce commodity!" I pronounced the second "o" long. * No," said he, "it is a scarce commodity. And he pronounced the word correctly. Some one snickered. I I have forgotten almost everything that happened that year, but 1 haven't forgotten how "to pronounce commodity." I never will. "Sou may try month after month tc ? teach a child correct table mannen and make little headway. Youi j words will make no impression. But , let the child overhear one adult sa> J to another. "Yes she is a sweet child I | but her table manners are ahomin | able." and in a fortnight her manner: l will be faultless. ( \ anity is the most useful of th? j pedagogue.

NO REGARD FOR OPINION (tiarlmton Solicitor and Atturiwy (irnrral in Hr#td Tilt Charleston, Nov. 4.?Notifying Attorney-Genera) John M. Daniel * that "My circuit will be run hereafter and as long as I am solicitor without regard for you or your opinions," James Allan of Charleston, solicitor of the ninth judicial circuit, in a telegram tonight to Mr. Daniel declared hi# independence of the attorney general's office. The telegram added the opinion: "1 doubt' if they, (the attorneygeneral's opinions), would be of much assistance anyhow." Solicitor Allan's message was the third of an exchange between the solicitor and attorney-general with reference to a series of boxing bouts proposed as part of Charleston's celebration of Armistice Day. In the first message the solicitor asked for the attorney general's opinion as to the legality of the bouts. To this message Mr. Daniel replied: "Your wire. Opinion to governor. Copy sent to Sheriff Poulnot governs this. Another opinion unnecessary.** The solicitor today replied to Mr. Daniel's answer as follows: "Your terse and discourteous reply to my polite inquiry directed to you in a matter of vital interest to my city has been received. My wire was sent to you not from any overwhelming regard for your legal opinions, but purely out of respect for the office of attorney general. And it never once occurred to me that you would dare disregard the mandatory provisions of section 799 volume 8 of the code requiring you to advise solicitors on matters relating to their offices. "I am not reqbired to and do not intend to run around town searching for opinions that you may or may not have rendered to people here or elsewhere, and where masters affect my circuit you are required to communicate with me. "In view of your failure to so regard your duty and your impolite reply you may rest assured that my circuit will be run hereafter and as long as I am the solicitor the lesson cut his ego to the quick and he never will forget it. Vanity is an unlovely quality, but it works wonders if you harness it.? Robert Quillen in Fountain Inn Tribune. I without further regard for you or your opinions. I doubt seriously if they would have been of much assistance anyhow. Solicitor Allan later today supplied Sheriff Joseph Poulnot of Charleston county with an opinion of his own holding that the proposed boxing bouts, in which no prize is to be offered and no admission charged, were legal. Attorney General Daniel in an opinion given to Governor Richards previously had held that the award of a prize or the charging of admission to view the bout would constitute a prize fight as forbidden by law. Opponents in the bouts, which apparently will go on without interference from Charleston officers, will be men from various ships of destroyer squadrons and the cruis er division now in Charfestop fcwJ bor.
