ROOSEVELT'S DIARY TELLS WAR TRIALS Little Pocket Volume Pre- sented by Widow to Me- morial Association. By the Ascociated Press. NEW YORK, September terse history of the Spanish-Ameri- can war as seen through the eyes of its most famous participant came to light yesterday when Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt presented the former President’s war diary to the Roose- velt Memorial Association. ‘The diary is a record of experiences 2nd impressioris, made up of laconic entries, some historical, some critical. Shafts of characteristic pointedness were aimed at the “stupidity of the ordnance -department,” while the colonel recorded the belief that in the War Department there was management at all.” The diary is a small pocket volume and contained mnotes in pencil and ink. No part of it has ever been pub- lished before. Some of the most characteristic en- tries follow: “May 6, 1898—Commissioned leutenant colonel, United States Vol- untary Cavalry.

MacReady, test pilot at McCook Fleld, yesterday shattered the world's laltitude record, attaining a height of 140,800 feet in the same La Pere biplanc {used by Rudolph C. Schroeder, who set a record of 3,130 feet on February 28, 1920. Lieut. MacReady was in the air one hour and forty-seven minutes, requi ing all but a few minutes of the total flying time to reach his mark. At 39,000 feet ice formed on his oxygen tank, but he pressed on until the abtimeter Teg- istered 41,000 feet. At this point his engine coughed and died.

To insure clear vision a special gelatin was used on the goggles to prevent collection of ice. The suit was electrically heated throughout. A centrifugal air compressor, oper- ated by a gas turbine. forms the supercharger which made the flight possible. The turbine derives its power from the hot exhaust gas of the Liberty motor, with which the ship is equipped. and air thus com- pressed is fed to the carburcter at the same pressure as air at sea level. The biplane was designed in Janu ary. 1918, by Capt. LaPere, a French aviator, while working under direc- tion of the United States government. ptan o e s Mrs. L. D.

Against One of Strongest Institutions. BALTIMORE, Md., September Sun says: evocation of the charter of The First National Bank of Hagers- town, considered one of the strong- est and most conservauve banks in Maryland outside of Baltimore, is sought in a suit filed in the United States distriot court at Baltimore by District Attorney Robert R. Carman for Controller of the Currency Cris- singer. This is only the second case in the history of the national bank- ing_system in which forfeiture pro- ceedings have been instituted by the controller for alleged violations of law. “Persistent violation' is alleged, but no charge of insolvency is made, nor is there the slightest intimation of dishonesty . on the part of the officers or employes of the bank. “‘“The charges are,’ said Mr. Car- man, ‘that the bank failed to main- tain the proper reserves with the federal reserve bank, as provided for by law; that it has declared divi- dends without having maintained a sufficient reserve; that it has made I excessive loans; that it has lent money on its own stocks, and that it Las used the bank's funds for the purchase of stocks and other securi- ties of private concerns, which is against the law.’ “The bank has a capital stock of $100,000, a surplus of $194,560, a line of deposits amounting at this time to approximately $2.000.000, and ap- proximately 10,000 depositors.” RESTAURANT Eveless Eden for Men Do you know that some mel never enjoyed the Bartholdi*—!
