The author of a communication to the Herald pointedly asks officials to explain things about the new Lin- wood street bridge. Officials fre- quently explain things but not too _trequently. , Three instances of convicts at- tempting to flee from their keepers in two days is quite a record. Even a collie dog figured in a “prison break” from a dog pound. More | evidence all around that the lovely outdoors is calling these beautiful spring days: THE PLANTSVILLE BANK ROBBERY The palr of nitwits who stuck up the Plantsville national bank were out to make some easy money. their minds dwelled on other pos- sibilities they probably thanght an aggregation of country constables could not follow them. Perhaps they did not expect to repent at leisure. All they could /see was the money that was in 1t. They got the money —some money—but cannot keep it. To make the catch complete a third man, charged with instigating the robbery, also has been bagged. As this was written one of the trio held was reported as having admitted his complicit; the other two say they are innocent. The latter will be given a fair opportunity contentions. . One of those little tricks of fate which helps to keep the scales of justice evenly balanced worked to their undoing. One of the Plainville constables with whom the town found fault recently got his big op- portunity when the man-hunt start- ed, and it was he who landed one of the suspects. Holding up a bank in a section of the country where towns are close together i3 made more pre- carlous through that fact. This sec- tion lacks the density of a metro- politan city, which so frequently serves to permit crooks to “lose themsclves” in the crowds; and it lacks the sparsity of the wide open spaces, where there i3 wide room for hiding. As soon as the Plantsville robbery was committed posses from a dozen towns, large and small, were scouring the vicinity, and when an abandoned automobile was found everything was over but the shout- ing. Now that an apparent victory perches on the side of the law it can be said without the slightest op- portunity for disagreement that the authorities handled the situation in 4 remarkably efficient manner. The net that was spread throughout the | country side was airtight. Had the two foolish men paused to consider all the vpossiibilities before they adopted their nefarious mathod of | obtaining money “quickly and eas- | 1ly"” they surely would have themselves in check. TRACK WALKING One of the vagaries of the Haven railroad is to institute a cam- paign to on p people from walking The cam place once a year, us spring, its tracks. gn takes ally in the Detectives, officers and railroad func- tionaries generally descend upon the city at such a time and make a “haul.”” To do this is easy as it is a habit of long standing to railroad's right of way use as a high- way In due time the railroad general- tssimos will be in another city, there carning their off the roadbeds keep by chasing men landing a dozen or 0 in police court, and getting a A B.

This has been going on for years with no appreciable results. In & week or 80, after the rallroad's “polezi¢” are out of town, who will say that the same old track-walking will not again predominate? Of course and absolutely, pcople {ought not to walk on railroad tracks. E_l( is’ unsafe, wrong, is trespassing, and all the rest of it. But they keep it up all the same; at least have been doing so for years. The rail- road is alarmed; always has been. It doesn't wish to kill anybody if it can help it, which is a good policy. It is the unthinking, in-a-hurry pub- lic which is to blame for all this hul- lubaloo. Some time ago a factory | was reported as posting notices that not an employe would be allowed to walk on the tracks. Small good it did, so far as the human eye can discern. The judge says he is going to double the fine from now on. Well and good, perhaps; but what every track-walker knows igthat the rail- road spotters will be out of town shortly and there will be nobody on hand to do the arresting. At least, that has been the experience in the past. This year it may be dif- ferent; but the year is long. Some railroads don't care a hoot whether anyone trespasses on their precious tracks. But the New Haven is more particular. The New Haven is a bear for making itself unpopu- lar with track-walkers. If the railroad were equally as zealous about not permitting trains to block the numerous crossings in the city that would really amount to something. Trainmen who cause isuch blockades, however, are very rarely arrested and fined. MENT WINS 1N INDIANAPOLIS Friends of good city government | everywhere will hail the result of |the municipal election in Indian- |apolis with satisfaction. At a time when political corruption in near-by Louisville has twice shocked the middle west, citizens of the Indiana capital gave unmistakable signs of being disgusted with politics as it has been played in thelr own city and overwhelmingly voted for the institution of the commission-city manager form in their city. The three newspapers in Indian- apolis have been influential factors in bringing about this desirable change. They have unstintingly shown up the excessively rotten po- litical condition irrespective of party, and recently Mayor Duval and a fair number of his underling officials were charged with political corruption—to use a very mild term | covering & multitude \ of alleged | wrong-doing. New charges were be- ing filed this to the credit of the citizens of that large western city that they got tired of the type of government which mismanaged their city. In addition to Indianapolis being the second largest city to adopt the improved system of civic govern- ment, it will be the second city in :(he state to possess a commission nd city manager, Michigan City be- ing the other. This is notable in a state where it has been made diffi- cult for a city to change from po- ernment. The politictans, indeed, have fixed things so that Indian- apolis carnot begin enjoying the fruits of her voting this week until 1930, but it is to be hoped that this palpably unconstitutional trick will be upset in the courts, where it is to be decided shortly. Cleveland is the larger city having the commission form. It has worked perfectly in that city, as it has in most other cities where it has been tried. Cincinnatl, like Indianapolis, went through a political furnace be- fore adopting the improved system. Connecticut i3 one of the states where everything possible has been but even in this case three cities, New London, Stratford and West Hartford, went in for it. The effect }in other cities in the state has been wholesome, politicians being par- | ticularly anxious not to bring about | for the newer form of government. This advantage is looked. They Louisville, without a doubt; able that in Kentucky Cynthiana, frequently oy need a city manager in it is not- only one has adopted the new form of government. Kentucky is one of those states which town, likes its polities | the hard-boiled, case in other sta 1id of honest | uninfluenced by the s which are city government, vagaries of po- | litical managers, AIRPLANES AND WEATHER Long-distance airplaning does not | depend so much upon the weather | as one is lgd to believe from the ac counts of the ocean flicrs, especially | the Byrd expedition, which has heen repeatedly postponed on account of | weather prospects, People have been | asking, it airplaning is such a thor- Iy wecomplished fact, why 1s it to pay so much attention to the weather. Railroads are not dependent upon the weath during extrems thus land 1, exeept blizzards in winter; transportation remains much more reliable than aig trans- portation, one hears during discus- week, in fact, and it is | litical government to efficient gov-| put in the way of cities adopting it, | conditions leading up to a crusade | stin | | as is !dlona. Also, that If an airplane is de- j1ayed long enough by the weather while ready to take off for & trans- continental trip a railroad train can arrive at the destination before the plane gets started. This sounds logical; but there are a few other “points of prominence” in such a discussion. The airmail carriers do not seem to be bothered a great deal about weather condi- tions; they are operating all the | time, in rain, fog, at night, by day. There must be a difference, then between flying across the ocean and the regular airmall flights over land. You have it, there is a difference. The oceanic flights are experi- ments at this time. And it is not like flying over land—there are no nice ! most good is the one Who inspires NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FactsandFancies It ig worth while to fly across if it makes France come across.

Alighting in the| ocean has certain hazards not part of trans-country flying. The oceanic birds must first avoid the taking of chances with the! weather. Later, when the course overseas has been done often enough, and valuable experience has becn gained, there probably will not be a need to depend so much upon tfie weather. This time may come within a few years, no more than five. Our alrmail fliers are making as- tounding records. The airmail “gets there” with astonishing regularity and nearly always on time, regard- i less of the weather. It is not diffi- cult to remember the day when newspaper accounts of airmail car- | riers belng “forced down” were quite common; one rarely meets with such an account nowadays. When the oceanic flying experience reaches a similar level of experience no future Byrd or Lindbergh or Chamberlin will be alarmed over the weather bureau reports before start- ing a jaunt to Europe. Most of us will live to see the day when regulal oceanic flights are as common as airmail fiights are today. “BACKING” AIRPLANES When Rodman Wanamaker about ten years ago began to take an in- terest in airplanes many skeptical persons shook their ' heads and ruminated that he merely needed some speclal way to pass his time and spend his money. He is credited with spending all of $500,000 in fol- lowing his hobby but he is achieving | more than his friendly critics ever | thought possible. The airplane de- | velopment needs “backers,” or “angels,” as they are called in the theatrical business, and the scion of the best in the business. Not a cent of the money has been wasted. In the development of a new idea somebody has to pay the piper, and it is proper in the acheme of things that a man who will not miss the | outlay should be devoting his ener- It was our oWwn felow townsman and flier, Dixon, who on his return here let it be known he would have {been willing to fly across the occan if the backing had been satisfactory.

The average daily produc- tion is now—or was last week—2,- 509,650 barrels, and prices in some parts of the country have sagged again. . Notable is the fact that the prin- cipal increase was in Oklahoma, where-producers attempted to curb production.
