Iways has been of in all day test flight over the sea coast of the biplane in which they hope ito fiy to New York by way of the Azores. Some persons, however, thought that today’s hopoff migh, be the ac- {tual start for America, ®since the plane was fully fueled and carried |fo0d cnouzh for such a venture, May Not B Test S0 sccrctive have the flyers been during their lengthy preparations in rance that aviation experts con- tinued doubtful even after the plane had disappearcd as to whether the men were testing it or flying for Cow Yprk. W o he thoroughness of the tests al- Alling began | ready the planc was one of discussion of the need of a Ma- the rehsons advanced for presuming Lighest ase, the It il wany years Pease, Wi S 1 Bdw the i Cowlishs vrd ziven that the Poles might keep on going over the Atlantic if they found their 650 horsepower motor working right and the wind and weather favorable, The airmen had inquired fully as to meteorological observations last night and they felt sure flying con- ditions were good today when they started. They told mechanics, how- ever, that they planned to fly only until dark. Flics Straight North The planc flew straight northward after rising from the ground easily with only a few mechanics watcd- mg. The fliers were presumed to be headed for the region around Dun- Kirk. From their inquiries among other aviators it was decided they intended to have a good look at the French coast, swinging cast and then south, This would take them over Nor- mandy, Brittany and as far as Brest from which point they would head for Rochefort and then back to Paris. Thus they would spend from | sun-up until early darkness aloft. Good Test Route A flight of this character would give them a good idea of the nature of sea flying. It would enable them | to determine wind direction with | smoke bombs and test their naviga- ting ability and instruments by checking their calculations with | their location along the coast which would always be in sight. Their preparations have been quite secret but the reputation of the airmen and the backing of the| Polish government has caused their attempt to be regarded as among the most serious on the transatlan- tic flight program, There was skepticism in the news- papers, however, concerning the| project since aviatfon circles con- sidered the machine too slow. Long Planned The plans for the Polish transat- lantic flight have been under way for more than a year under the auspices of the Polish ministry of war. Dur- ing this time the flyers were ¢n Irance undergoing special training and selecting their machine—a bi- plane of the S, E. C. M.-Amiot type with a powerful Lorraine Dietrich motor. The plane is said to be ca- pable of a non-stop flight of 8,500 kilometers (5,281 miles). The 8. E. C. M.-Amiot planes are three seater night bombers. The fuselage is of duralumin tubes with |and Whiting split strut fittings, the bracing be- ing mainly carred out by diagenal | tubes in front of, and strong steel| rods behind the wings. The top| wing is larger in span than the low- erone. The maximum speed of this| type of plane is sct at 220 kilometers | (136 miles) an hour. Baltimore to Rome Baltimore, April 28 (P)—Plans for a divect non-stop flight from Balti- more to Rome, and a similar return flight, in a plane now under con-’ struction in New York have been completed, representatives of Count | Thaon di Revea, president of the ! isti league of North America, | They said the projected hop was scheduled for May 10, Appearing before Mayor Broening | last night, the Italian group asked that the city of Raltimore sponsor the trip and pay half the cxpenses of the flight, exclusive of the cost of the airplane. The pilot of the projected voyage will be Chevalier Cesare Savelli, for- mer World War ace in the Italian army. Co-pilots will include Roger Q. Williams and Commander Pietro | Bonelli, who will serve as navigator jand radio operator, respectively: | Williams accompanied Clarence Chamberlin on his recent flight en- | durance test over Richmond, Va. Load tests for the plane, it was said, will be made at Miller field, New York, next week.

Both gir ed In mid s , their hands tied, crash- tage just as the thunder- hymn, The Inter- nationale, was struck up by the or- chestra. Fellow artists who knew the girls intimately expressed beliet that the ballet dancers had formed a suicide pact growing out of an unusual ro- mance. They said that the girls had fallen in love with a scenery painter, | Kurilko, who lately has become re- nowned for his art. Devoted to each both desperately in love with the painter, it was thought | that they preferred a common death as the best way out of the situation. The ballet is replete with revolus tionary heroic exploits and to the spectators at a distance, who had not heard the agonized cry of the dancers drowned as jt was in the thunderous music. the leap seemed like a startling stage feat effected with dummies. To the corps de ballet, however, who at that moment came from the wings advancing to mid stage in a nce of revolutionary triumph, the tragedy was only too apparent in all |its grewsome aspects. Before their eyes lay the two girl friends, the one dead and the other just breathing. The curtain fell immediately hid- ing from the audience the panic and tears of the ballerinas. The police authorities immediately began an investigation into the deaths. The theatrical manager ad- anced the theory that a suicide pact had been agreed upon by the girls Erowing out of circumstances not yet ascertained, but fellow artists were convinced that the girls mutual ro- mance with the painter was the actual reason for their self-destruc- tion. LITTLE GIRL DROWNED WITHIN SIGHT OF HOME Agawam, Mass, Mother Rushes From House To Find Lifeless Body of Her Child Agavam, Mass., April 28 (P — Called from her home yesterday by the. screams of a 14-year-old llrl. an Agawam mother rushed out of the housc to aee her two-year-old boy lying lifeless on the ground aft- er being drowned. It was the sec- ond time in two years that this mother, Mrs. Michael O'Brien, has been attracted from her work to 1ush out upon such a scenc. Two years ago another son, 10, lost his life in the Agawam river which flows a short distance in front of the home. Yesterday the infant son, Gerald, toppled into a 16-foot ddtch in the rear of the home and was drowned in six feet of water. An older broth- er, who was minding the tot, was attracted to the scene by the barks of a dog that vas with the young- ster. He recovered the body and called his mother and police but the baby was beyond all human ald. ARRESTED IN TORRINGTON Torrington, April 28 (P—William J.
