MacReady, army air pilot, today broke the world's altitude record by climbing 41,000 feet. His time was two hours and three minutes. 60 Below Zero "I cannot tell how cold it was." MacReady said. "My thermometer broke with the mercury registering about CO below zero. It may have been much colder, for the instrument went to smash before I reached the height of my flight. "Although it was Intensely cold, I did not suffer any serious Incon venience. My equipment functioned perfectly." The figures will be sent to Wash ington tonight and the bureau of standards Is expected to submit an early report on the findings. The previous record was 36,745 feet, set by Lecointe, French flyer, on October 30, 1923.

MacReady said, as he climbed into the cockpit. "I'm going up and up, if the machine holds together and there are no mechanical disappoint ments. If everything goes well, I will probably not return for three hours." MacReady was dressed In a cos- tume which left no part of his body exposed.

When the giant ship glided to a safe landing, the pilot was greeted with wild cheers. Engine Trouble "My engine started to give me a little trouble, or I would still have been going upward," MacReary said as soon as he could free himself to speak. If the unofficial figure of 41,000 feet Is unchanged after official cali bration, MacReady will have attain ed his goal. The bureau of standards In Wash ington will make the decision. ADAMS POSES AS DEFENDER Chairman of Committee Eepnblican National On Dangherty's Side in Oil ScandaL Washington, Feb. 22. Marked dif ferences developed between republi can senators and the republican na tional organization today over the question of Attorney General Daugh- i erty's retirement from the cabinet, , with the attorney general himself continuing to defy those who would ' have him resign. Chairman Adams. of the republican national commit- j tee, informally expressed the view that the demands of administration leaders in the senate that President Coolidge rid himBelf of the attorney general without hearing were "ab surd" and he is known to have com munlcated that view to the presi ' dent. The republican national chairman, taking his stand after consultation with some of his advisers at party headquarters, ranged himself and the i.fcrty organization directly in op position to the prevailing republican sentiment in the senate, which, as conveyed to President Coolidge Wed nesday by Senators Lodge of Massa chusetts republican leader, and Pep- per, or Pennsylvania, is mat -Mr. Daugherty should retire. Delrmined to Investigate I Unchanged in their opinion by the announcement of the party organiza tion view, republican senators went ahed with their plans to support the move to bring about an investi gation of the administration of the attorney general. The resolution for the Investigation, introduced by Sen- ator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, was approved during the day by the senate audit committee and will be called up for discussion and a vote 1 next Monday. Agreement was reach ed to have the investigating com mittee elected by the senate. Sena tor Wheeler will support for the chairmanship Senator Brookhart of Iowa, a member of the LaFollette in surgent group, who has been oppos ed from the first by Senator Lodge and other leaders of the republican organization. Coincident with these develop ments in the controversy over Mr. Daugherty's retention of office, the cabinet officer appeared unexpected ly in the senate today and spent a quiet half hour in the chamber among those who are demanding his resignation. He arrived just as Sen ator Willis, republican, Ohio, his most outspoken champion in the sen al b the customary reading 0 of Washington's farewell address. Wheeler Gets First Glimpse Senator Wheeler came into the chamber in the midst of the reading and Mr. Daugherty was Immediately pointed out to him. He said later that it was the first time he had ever seen the cabinet officer and added: "I think the tact that Mr. Daugh erty came on the floor of the senate today makes it more .necessary than ever that I have the investigating committee that I have proposed. 1 hope he comts to the senate Mon day." Charles W. Morse, who was assist ed by Mr. Daugherty in obtaining a pardon in 1912, after his conviction of violation of the federal banking laws, called on Senator Wheeler to day and the senator said afterward Mr. Morse might appear before the Investigating committee. Mr. Morse has had a long standing controversy with Mr. Daugherty regarding pay ment to the latter for his legal ser vices in connection with the pardon. The unexpected appearance of the attorney general amazed his enemies. LOUIS HILL QUITS BURLINGTON POST New York, Feb. 22. Louis W.

LOUISVILLE MAN BUYS ACREAGE TRACT IN TEXAS Mr. and Mrs. August Stohlman, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Stohlman and their daughter. Mrs. Harry Mc Cafferty. have returned from a trip to the Rio Grande valley in Texas, where they went on a land seeking excursion with Omar Coon, the Man-lev- land agent, recently. They were gone ten days and had a wonderful trip and liked the country very much. They regretted that their time was so limited, as they say the coun try is beautiful and the climatic ad vantages fine. Frederick Stohlman was so taken with the country that he decided to invest a little money down there, so he purchased thirty acres just fcr speculation, so far as he knows at present. Land in that country sells for different prices, depending upon whether it is cleared and what im- provements are on it. It varies in price from $45 to about $300. They saw some fine orange and lemon groves and grape fruit also and brct home a considerable amount of fruit to show what the country down there can produce There were between eight and nine hundred people on this excursion and out of the Cass county people from around these parts, two men bought land. They feel well pleased with their investment. The trip was very enjoyable and worth a good deal more to them than it cost them as the charges were very reasonable. Louisville Courier.

MEETING TO FORM FARM ALLIANCE IS HELD AT COLUMBUS Initial Steps Taken to Organize Unit of National Marketing Body , to Regulate Prices. ! Columbus, Neb., Feb. 22. Whose pocket can the farmer put his hand into? The question was raised last night at a meeting of farmers and business men held at Columbus to take initial steps of the National Farm Produc- j ers' alliance. P. A. Mohler, Minneapolis, na tional organizer for the alliance, speaking at the meeting, said: "Manufacturers, wholesalers, re tailers, doctors, dentists and even wage workers fix prices for the com modities they have to sell. Farming will never pay until the farmers are nationally organized to set a price on their raw materials and market their crops like the storekeeper markets his goods, at a fixed price." Explaining the workrngs of the. organization, which Mr. .Mohler said already is functioning in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin, the speaker said all counties would be organized into township units which, in turn, would be responsible to stao and the latter to the national or ganization headquarters. All unit chairmen would receive daily reports cf when to sell and when to hold farm products. The organization does not contemplate absolute regulation of farm produc tion. The plan of the alliance is to have the farmer hold his products until sufficient demand has arisen so that he can sell at cost plus a reasonable profit to himself. Arrangements will be made so that certain units will of fer corn at one time. Wheat, hogs, cattle and cotton are to be handled the same way. At the present time a unit of the alliance organized at Humphrey shows 90 per cent membership of the farmers and business men there; Creston has S5 per cent: Platte Center organization is nearing 100 per cent and the work is onw under way in Monroe. A meeting similar to the one held here will be held in Genoa tonight. A meeting will be held in Richland some time next week. REVOLT IN MEXICO ABOUT STEPPED ON Federals Now Having No Formidable Enemy Forces to Fight Will Exterminate Guerillas. Mexico City. Feb. 21. The revo lution in Mexico has virtually been stamped out, according to statements made at the war department today. It was asserted that the federals now having no important enemy Torres to fight, will be engaged here after in the work of exterminating the guerillas who are maurauding in several states. With the occupation of Morella, Patzcuaro and Uruapan, it was add ed the state of Michoacan has been practically pafified. The rebels there are withdrawing into Guerro and Jalisco. The rebel general, Manuel Dieguez. is said to have com pletely vanished with all his forces and the federal general, Escobar, io chasing Enrique Estrada. General "Salvador Alvarado and Colonel Christian Anzaldo and their rebel forces have evacuated Ciudad Guzman, withdrawing to Colima. and, according to official sources, the occupation of Ciudad Guzman is ex pected shortly. The rebels are said to lack ammu nition. A formal federal advance against Tuxpam beean yesterday, according to special dispatches from Tampico. The federal forces are under four generals. At Puerto Mexico the rebels have seized two tank steamers belonging to Aguila Oil company. This makes four vessels belonging to this com pany that have been taken over by the revolutionists. Owing to the lack of British diplomatic represen tatives, it is difficult to place official representations before the Mexican Tovernment. A high official of the Aguila company, however, has visit ed the foreign office and demanded 'rotection against the rebels, whose 'lostility toward the company is said to have arisen from the company's -efusal to advance money to the :ebel cause. ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS IN OIL SCANDAL MISSING Washington, Feb. 21. The presi dent's special oil lease prosecutors, Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Rob erts, today received the staggering information that neither they nor the senate investigating committee possessed the originals of any of the documents vital to civil and criminal proceedings in the courts. The special counsel h a VP Tin Hnrn. ments at all. The committee has only photostatic copies. Photostats are known in legal terminology as ' c"uuuo' cviueuce ana are not ac ceptable in the courts as proof. Not even the originals of the leases upon which the whole oil scan dal is based are or ever have been in the hands of the investigating com mittee. As matters stand today, the spe cial counsel have nothing on which to go Into court for injunctions against removal of anv mnrp nil from the leased naval oil reserve! lands, or for cancellation of the eses on the grounds of fraud and corruption or for the punishment of bribery and conspiracy.

Wahoo, eo., i-eD. judge Pcrmen ienter of the county court has inted Eli Keiser as guardian of appoi the estate of his older brother, Levi, aged 79, who was recently adjudged incompetent to handle his own af- fairs.

A bond of $ GO. 000 was required of tne guaraian. ne quaimeu ami mr - niched the bond immediately after he had been named. He will, how ever, be without authority to take immediate charge of his brother's affairs because of a notice of appeal filed by Levi's attorneys. Eli Keiser appeared on the stand as a witness against hi3 brother, and there was no communication be tween them in the court room, where they sat for three days within fif teen feet of each other. Eli testified that Levi had stopped speaking to him because he had strongly advised against his marriage with Mrs. Buell the "lady lawyer" of Ashland, where they all live. He said he had not so much objected to the mar riage as had advised against it at his age and that he had taken um brage at his suggestion that Mrs. Buell was marrying him for his money. He said Levi had also resented his saying that a woman so much better educated and differently reared would not marry him for any other reason, and had replied that she would make a good companion and that if she said she would . marry him the wedding would occur.
