ATTEMPTED HOLDUP IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Benjamin Lavin Confronted by Re- volver in His Store Wednesday Af- ternoon. “Money or your life! Don't haller or Tl shoot!” said a holdup man as he pulled a revolver on Benjamin Lavin in the latter's store on- Spring street in broad daylight Wednesday after- noon. Suddenly confronted by a re- volver, Mr. Lavin, who is an elderly man, started to smash a window in the store, as he could not reach the door. The holdup man becoming frightened, ran from the store with his revolver in his hand and disappeared. The attempted holdup occurred about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but it was near 7 o'slock before Mr. Lavin made any report of the matter to_the police. Between 6.30 and 7 o'clock Wednesday evening Captain D. J. Twomey was on the way to the city from the West Side and as he passed by Mr. Lavin's store on Spring street the proprietor hailed him and toid him the story. Mr. Lavin said that during the fore- noon’ a young colored stranger came into his store and asked to be directed to some place where he could get a Job. Mr. Lavin told him to go to Thameaville and the young colored man left. Between 1 and 2 o'clock he reappeared in the store and told Mr. Lavin that he had found a job and was going to get $10 a week. He said he had called to thank Mr. Lavin for aid- ing him in his search for work. Then he suddenly pulied a gun, threw the muzzle against Mr. Lavin's breast and biurted out: “Money or vour life! If vou holler. I'll shoot!” ~Mr. Lavin, see- ing that he was unable to reach the store door, started to break out a pane of glass in one of the store windows and the man fled from the store with the revolver in his hand. Folowing up a description of the map given him by Mr. Lavin, Captain Twomey set to work on the case. The attention of the police was directed to two young colored strangers on the West Side with the result that one of them, Albert Randall Wells, was placed under arrest and taken to the police station. Mr, Lavin was called to head- quarters and informed the police Wells looked jike the holdup man but h: wouldn't say it was. Wells denied ail connection with the attempted holdup. The police found a loaded revoiver in his bed and several cartridges hidden the pillow slip on the bed. These are now at the police station. Wells claimed he did not own any revolver. He is held at the police sta- on on an allege- charge of attempted rohbery. FUNERALS. Stephen Billings Meech.

Don’t drop any- thing,” cautioned a_ demented young man when he was being searched at the station house in New London by Patrolman Patrick Murphy and David Nagle, late Tuesday afternoon. The man was attired in shabby clothes and wore two heavy woolen shirts in ad- dition to a sweater, such as is knit- ted by the Red Cross for soldiers. He also wore army shoes and leggins. The pockets of his' coat and trousers were stuffed with trash, and tucked in be- tween his shirts the searchers found magazines, empty cigarette _boxes, cotion waste, papers, old smoking pipes, some of which had broken stems. Several postal cards with cancelled stamps, which showed tiat they had been mailed, and which bore the names of Groton people, were also found among the quantity of stuff. The man is thought to be Fred King of Bay City, Mich., recently a private in the 302nd company, field hospital service of the Seventy-Sixth division. National, army, Camp Devens, Aver, Mass. An honorable discharge contain- ing the foregoing data was found among the quantity of papers and oth- er_articles found upon his person. From a personal leter foumd in his possession from a young lady acquain- tance, which he had received under the date of Oct. 9, it would appear in face of certain statements contained there- in that he had written his correspond- ent intellizent* on some subject previ- ous ‘to' that time. Kinz was examinea by two physi- cians "at the police station Wednesday morning. . Edward C. Chipman interviewed him early in the morning, while Dr. Ross BE. Black had a talk with King before noon. The young man was taken to the state hospital at Norwich Tuesday afternoon for treatment. During the night King made an at- tempt to dig his way out of the cell in whick he was locked. The strensth ef the man is shown in the fact that he pulled apart the heavy bench in his cell and sueceeded in loosening the iron brace from the masonry work. Armed with this crude instrument he worked like a beaver to dig a hole through the wall. Tis attempt at escape was dis- covered before he had dug into the wall very far, however. After .being renjowed tc another cell and told that he was doing wrong, he finally: quieted down and glept the remainder of the me. Attention was first drawn to the man wher he calered the blacksmith shop of Eugene Courtney, in Bank street, and throwing down an old horseshoe, reached down into a pile of brand new shocs and helped himself to two. After this he walked around awhile and suggesting that he would require some || nails, did not wait for an answer from ‘Mr. Courtney, but again helped him- self. Speaking incoherently upon -sev- eral subjects and at the same time ex- hlbltln‘ .some of the trash he had in his pockets Mr. Courtmey decided that the man was not responsible for his actions, .so thought that he would be better off if taken into custody Wwfere getting Into trouble so-the police were notified.

N, | HIS EXPERIENCE AT FLYING SCHOOL Leighton Noswortly Describes the Student’s First Flight. In a letter to his mother, Leighton Noswortly, a Hampton boy, who is studying at Pensacola, Fla., to become a naval aviator, gives a very weird description of just how Uncle Sam is training the young men to fly. The first part of their instruction is given at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where there is a ground school in the science of flying. The practice in the air follows this course and after forty hours “solo” flying the aviator is qualified to receive a commission as ensign. The letter fol- lows: Dear Mother: I am progressing slowly but surely on my way towards being an aviator. I have been getting a hop a day for the past week and have had over four hours in the air. I-am promoted to the back seat for my next hop which is_preparatory to solo fiying. 1 suppose you read the story, A Young Man’'s Game, .in the Saturday Post of Nov. 3, I think it was. In case the story gave you any erroneous ideas as to the training of aviatars, I will give you a complete resume of the governmental (naval) course of instruction and qualification as given here, and the methods used. In the first place, this is a young man’s game, the Saturday Evening Post to the contrary notwithstanding. Aeroplanes are driven by feel, and not by analytical knowledge. Of course. it helps tremendously and_ is essential that one have a knowledge of what to do and why, but the feel is the thing. . _To start in with the student gets his pay hop. He flies, probably for the first time in his Jife. The instrue- tor takes him.up and flies around the bay, making an altitude of 3500 feet or’ thereabouts, turns, twists, spirals, glides to the water and makes land- ings, does mnearly everything, in fact, but loops, tajlspins and nose dives. Tt is usually a bumpy day and the stu- dent finds out what bumbs feel like. Then, when he is put under in- struction, the student goes up for his first instruction hop. He sets in the front seat (the rear seat is the driv- ing seat of the plane, containing in its’ dash all the instruments. There are no instruments in front. The group of controls used in the Curtis N9, the training plane _are known as the “Dep” control. This consists of a rudder bar, worked by the feet in very much the same fash- ion as the steering bar of a flexible fiyer, except that when you push on the right side of the bar (“giving her right rudder”) it moves the ruddér to the right, hence turns the aeroplane to the right. Now the Curtiss N9 is a tractor piane with a right handed propellor. That is, the propellor is set in front of the machine, and turns to the rizht or clockwise, as viewed from the pil- ot’s seat. The propellor creates a high wing and drags the machine after i hence the name “tractor.” The twist of the propellor through: the air (call- ed “torque”) tends to turn the ma- chine to the left, hence it is necessary to always hold the rudder over to the right in order to steer a _straight course. The course is held by sight- ing ahead on some distant landmark on the horizon. To tell whether the wings are level glance out to the side. The horizon should cut the wings struts at the same height on either side. This height is about two-thirds of the way up at ordinary altitudes up to about 3,000 or 4,000 feet. After getting all this _instruction from the irstructor the aforesaid in- dividual, Mr. Enos in my case. directs the unfortunate student to Keep all his hands and feet on the controls and follow their action. The rest of the controls are the oiler on control which which is a wheel, like an zuto Steer- ing wheel. When this is turned to the right, the aeroplane tilts to the right and the same on the left. The upward and downward metion of the machine, is produced by raising lowering the elevation or “flippers. The flippers are raised by pulling the set on a hinged frame- vou, and lowered by wheel forward. instruction hep occupies avout a_half hour, circling the bay twice. On the second hop, the stu- dent is ziven control of the machine, fiying straight ahead and making right or left turns as signalled by the in- structor. He keeps his hands on the controls and follows your movements, correcting them when vou let one wing get low or when you bank too much or too little on a turn at bumpy places he takes control of the ma- chine himself. On the third hop you begin to make landings. He signais “over the hemp” and down vou go, watching the water leap up at you, and flattening out about six feet above water, then sink- ing siowly to the water as you have fiying speed. If you flatten too high the machine will stall and flop into the water sideways, and if you flatten too mnear the water, vou ‘dom’t lose flving speed and “porpoise,” bump on- to the water and bounce off again, or you dig her nose into the bay and have to climb up into the tail and walt for the speed boat to come and take you back. So landing is a bit of a ticklish proposition. The instructor does most of the work in the first few landings but lets you have the con- trols more and more as he sees that you get the feel of the thing. After the third or fourth flight you have control of the machine practically the whole time with the instructor cor- recting a little here and there. When the instructor #hinks you have got the ‘“feel” of flying suM- ciently, he puts you in the back seat, while he is In front ready to correct any errors. After from two or three to eight back seat hops you are-turn- ed over for solo work. Before the solo, Rhowever, you take some other instruc- tor up for a “joy ride.” The other in- structor practically always passes you as fit for solo, the joy 'ride being merely to see just what you can do with the machine alone, for the in- structor goes up' purely as a passen- ger and a safeguard against accident Then comes the solo flight, the first time the man takes a machine up alone.
