A Daring Robbery The Grant Company job was one f the most daring reported in this n a long time, the police say. store is in the business section, {a short distance south of the r:ul-‘ where thousands of |pedestrians and motorists pass throughout the day and night, yet 'nobody saw or heard the entrance being made with the exception of ,an employe who was in the store and +heard noises on the second floor, which were thought to have been made by other employes preparing for the week’s business. Had an in- vestigation been made at that time, the burglars would probably have ‘been caught red-handed, the police say. Detective Sergeant George C. El- linger, who was detailed on the case, | found that entrance was gained by climbing the fire escape in the rear jof the building, and breaking the ! glass in the transom of a door which leads out to the roof, the building being constructed in such a way that the first floor extends consider- |ably further back than do the up- iper floors. The theory is that an {automobile was driven in to the rear yard either through Main {or church street, and the coats and | dresses taken away. It was a simple |road crossing, | manner to remove them from thei | wax figures on which they were dis- | played and the entire job could have | been completed within a few min- utes. Other Break is Probed Sergeant P. J. O'Mara is investi- gating the Feingold burglary. He found that the glass in the rear cel- lar window was broken to gain en- trance and then the glass in the in- ner door at the top of the cellar stairs was smashed after wire screen had been removed from both win- dows. He learned that trousers, a fish hooks, pens and pencils, flash- lights, cheap padlocks, lumber | jackets, an Elks tooth and chain and some shirts were missing. It is estimated that the loss is about 325. At 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning the police were notified that Morel- lo's battery and radio store at 176 Arch street was broken into. Offi- |cer Hanford Dart was detailed and e arrested three boys who* turned over to the probation partment because of their youth.

He, with three others, Ella Young and Elsie Woolley, both jof 140 Pratt street, and Charles Be- |vis, 100 West Main street, all of Meriden, escaped uninjured. The accident was surrounded by {many peculiar circumstances which {have baffled police. Especially per- I plexing to the investigators is the { fact that the survivors travelled into ithe city of Meriden without stop- | ping to summon medical aid for the two injured men. When first discovered, Langevin stated that he had been hit by a |touring car bearing Massachusetts {markers at the junction of East Berlin _avenue and Worthington Ridge, Berlin, but later admitted his covered a woman's hat and parts of an auto top at the real scene of the crash.

LEVINE SUDDENLY FLIES TO LONDON Takes “French Leave” of France Without Drouhin LATTER PLANS 10 SUE! French Pilot to Bring Action in U.! S. Court For Breach of Contract —Makes Poor Landing at Croy- ‘don Field. Paris, Aug. 29 (P—Charles A. Levine took French leave of France today without telling anyone of his intentions. He flew his transatian- tic monoplane Columbia away from Le Bourget field and went straight| to London, giving Maurice Drouhin | the most unpleasant of all surprises that have come the Frenchman's way since he agreed to pilot Levine trom Paris to New York. When it was learned that Levine had slipped away in the Columbia, two French pilots set out to “catch him,” but failed. Drouhin then an- nounced that he would sue Levine in | the United States for breach of con- gaid he had taken the to have the contract at the American con- tract. He precaution registered sulate. Never Posted Money Levine, it is said, never posted the 300,000 francs which the contract | called for as an insurance fund for Drouhin's family, and with the Columbia out of the country there is nothing which can be attached in lieu of the money. Drouhin has for his trouble, it is added, only 20,000 francs of his two months' pay of 100, francs. Mrs. Levine is leaving for the United States tomorrow on the Ile de France. When informed that her husband was safe in London she said she did not know whether he was coming back to France, but ad- ded that he had no intention of go- ing home by boat. She declined to say whether he expected to get a British pilot for his transatlantic hop. Takes Sudden Start Letine arrived at Le Bourget field before noon, went to the place in the hangar where his assocjate, Maurice prevent anyone from flying the Columbia, and ordered the mechani- cians to install it. Income taxes peid in Connecticut have gone steadily upward in the| last three years, despite a reduction | in the income tax rate during the period. In the fiscal year 1925 Connecticut corporations and indi- viduals paid $26,565,630.68 come and profits taxes they paid $29,001,346.93 1927 they paid $33,7 Total Collected $36,110,447 | Total internal revenue collections | in Connecticut last year amounted | to $36,110.47.88, an increase of per cent over the previous year's| collections. The decline in collec- | tions other than income taxes is ac- counted for by reductions in the rates of miscellaneous sales taxes, | such as the taxes on automobiles and theater admissions. Connecticut paid in the fiscal year | 1927 $146,336.16 in automobile and motoreycle taxes, which are collect- ed at the point of manufacture. | The principal increase in, the rev- | | enue from miscellaneous taxes for | | the fiscal year 1027 came from to-| bacco and it manufactures.

T am not going to chase Levine over to London,” Drouhin said this afternoon, ‘“because if I saw him 1 would feel like killing him and then the English would put me in jail, but T am going to try to see if I can't seize the Columbia in Lon- don.” e Lands With a Bump London, Aug. 29 (P)—Charles A. Levine landed at the Croydon Air- drome in his airplane Columbia at 4:05 o'clock this afternoon. There was difficulty in making the landing and the Columbia circled over the airdrome four times before coming down. The Columbia landed with a Kreat“ bump and jump and Levine appear- ed rather nervous. He had nothing to say when members of the fiying field force who had watched his performance, congratulated him on his narrow escape from an accident. Levine's flight from Paris was an absolutely solo performance, as he was unaccompanied even by & mechanician. Queried to his plans and whether Captain W. G.

Captain Tully and Lieutenant Medcalf took off in the Stinson-De- | troiter monoplane at 5:50 o'clock i this morning and were back at their starting point at 11 o'clock. Although the weather was fine at | the hop-off the aviators ran into a | heavy rain storm while flying over |Lake Ontario, when they reached | Oakville, just west of Toronto, they | decided that storm conditions were | so severe that it would be unwise to | continue. | Take-Off Nearly Perfect After a run of about three-quar- ters of a mile down the field, the fliers made a perfect getaway into the gray dawn. They took off to the west and, after circling the city to gain height, turned the nose of the | plane toward the rising run. The attempted 3,742-mile flight is | for the $25,000 Carling prize. As the great plane rose with its heavy load a cheer was given by the 12,000 spectators at the field. The start could not have been | more nearly perfect. At 5:30 Captain | Tully kissed his wife and climbed |into the cockpit. Five minutes later E. J. Mulligan, | expert of the Wright Airplane Cor- | poration, started twirling the pro- | peller and calling for contact. For a | few minutes the spark failed to firc. | But at 5:43 the great motor roared | into action and the propeller became a blur of whirling metal. Tully allowed the motor to roar {for a few minutes to give the mo- tor an opportunity to warm up. But at 5:50 the plane began to move, | slowly at first, then faster and fas- |ter and faster as the propellers whirling increased, and its pull be- gan to get the mass of over 2 1-2 | tons into motion. Rapidly the machine gathered speed and about three-quarters of a mile down the runway the wheels lifted from the ground and the plane was successfully on its way. Crowd Cheers As the wheels lifted from the | earth, the crowd breathed easier. | Steadily the great winged ship— graceful as a bird—rose foot by foot. It swung slightly to the south | of the fying field as it prepared to | make toward East, and the shores of England .Steadily it climbed, and | when it began the long, sweeping | turn, it was about 1,000 feet in the air. Banking perfectly, the plane swept around in a wide arc, still climbing. Slowly it straightened out and headed eastward toward the sun. The first rays of which glinted from the metal sides of the ship. It worked upward still farther and soon was nothing but a tiny spec in the eastern sky .Another moment |and it was gone. Preparations for the flight had been in progress throughout the night and all was in readiness when Tully and Medcalt arrived on the field. Not long before the take-off a decision was made to carry only 372 imperial gallons of gasoline in- stead of the 500 for which the plane has tank capacity. This was done to lighten the load, and increase the margin of safety in hopping off. Their route have taken them over | or near Oakville, Trenton, Belleville, | Deseronto, Kingston and Gananoque | leaving Ontario Tully and Medcalt plan to cross the St. Lawrence about 12 miles west of Brockville, passing near Canton and Malone in | New York state and reentering Can- |ada at Rouse's Point. In Quebec, the | plane was expected to pass over | Phillipsburg, Sherbrooke and Len- noxville.

The government telegraph opera- tor at Tucupita City, in the center of the delta territory, wired the op- |erators at Cludad Bolivar, Saturday that a mail-carrier who left Bar- rancas for Tucupita that day had in- formed him he saw an airplane at three o'clock flying over a small river in the delta, called Macareo Cano. It was proceeding in a south- erly direction toward the Boca Grande, main outlet of the Orinoco. The Orinoco delta is on the course mapped out by Paul Redfern, young aviator who left Brunswick, Ga., Thursday afternoon in a lone at- tempt to establish a world's non-stop record by flying 4,600 miles to Rio Janeiro, Brazil. His route lay over the path of the Gulf stream, east of the Bahamas, across the exireme tip of Porto Rico and thence over the eastern part of the Caribbean sea to the Venezuelan coast.

In police court this morning, Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods entered a nolle in both cases. Dr. Kinsella was present with his coun- sel, P. F. McDonough, and Crooms was present with Judge W. F.

Mr. Leland has no marks as a result of the fisticuffs. Numesous versions culated about the city and nothing that has happened exceeded the incident in public in- terest. According to the police, Dr. Kinsella and his children were on the elevator in the store when he became displeased at the manner in which the elevator was being op- erated. At the second floor he is said to have inquired the name of the colored operator and Mr. Le- land is said to have remonstrated with him for the manner in which he made reference to the employe. Dr. Kinsella is said to have demand- ed that Mr. Leland retract a remark and when the latter refused to do so, he was punched. When Officer Walinczus asked Mr. Leland if he wished Dr. Kinsella ar- rested ,the former is said to have expressed surprise at Dr. Kinsella's identity.
