Changes planes in Mid-Air.

The daring maneuver of jumping
from one airplane to another while
in full flight was recently accomplish
ed by a lieutenant of aviation, and
is pictured in Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. Climbing down to the under
carriage of the machine In which he
had left the ground as passenger,
he reached the horizontal bar of the
landing chassis. Hanging to this, and
executing acrobatic evolutions, he
awaited the approach of second ship
flying at lower level. AS 1t came be-
meath him, he released his hold and
dropped onto its top plane, landing at
q point near the middle of the right
wing. While he had estimated the
relative speeds Of the two machines
correctly and judged his distance with
out error, it still remained for him to
obtain a firm hold, or possibly suffer
the Inconvenience Of falling 5000
feet.

Port Chester May Go Dry
In More Ways Than One
Bill in Connecticut Legislature
Will Discontinue Supply of
Water From Greenwich

GREENWICH, Conn, March 49,
From present indications it looks as
though the town of Port Chester, N.
Y, with its population of about 10000,
would not only have it's liquor taken
away, but even it's water supply. A
bill has been introduced in both houses
of the Connecticut Legislature which,
if passed, will prevent the Greenwich,
Conn.,, water company from distrib-
uting water to Port Chester, through
the Port Chester Water Company, as it
has in past years. This would mean
that the towns of Port Chester and Rye
would have to tap Rye Lake or Byram
Pond, at cost Of thousands Of dollars 1t
is claimed by some Port Chester citizens
that the bill was introduced through
the influence of a number of Green
wich's millionaires, who wished to in
crease their own water supplies.
Others declare that they will go be-
fore the New York State Legislature
and claim that Stamford, Conn, just
east of Greenwich, should get it's water
supply from Greenwich, since its water
supply comes from Trinity Lakes, in
New York State.

Staten Island Tube Urged
As Good Business for CITY

Members of the Staten Island Sub
way Committee have issued booklet
in their campaign for tube linking
their borough with Manhattan, which
calls upon the city to indorse and put
through the project simply as a mat
ter of good business.
The booklet, which proceeds to point
out how subway to and through
Richmond Borough would increase the
value of property, and thus yield hun
dreds of thousands to tho greater city
as compensation.
A map is shown depicting each OF
the three proposed routes that
through Brooklyn and under tho Mar
rows, the one direct from the Battery
and around Ellis Island to st. George
and the one which first would strike
the New Jersey bulkhcad line and ther
continue as an elevated system to Con.
stable Hook, where it would tunne
under the Kill Won Kull
There seems to be some sentiment
in favor of tho last named route, be
cause it would link Staten Island witt
all the principle railroads.
A letter of Endorsement for the pro
posed subway has been received by tn,
committee from Maurice Il. Connolly
president Of Queens Borough.

assistant treasurer of the institution
and escaped with S13,330, according
to figures issued by bank officials.

been mentioned in the case before. AT

Bankers Wife Killed
By Blackmailer's Bomb
California Authorities Say Same
Men Who Threatened Gov
ernor Committed Outrage

OAKLAND, Cal, March 19.-The
killing of Mrs. George Greenwood,
wife of banker of this city, by an
explosion at the Greenwood home here
last night remained almost as much
mystery early to-day as when Mr..
Greenwood, aroused by the explosion,
looked from an upstairs window to see
his wife's body in the garden below
The police believed they had two clews,
consisting of six small pieces of gal
vanized iron wire removed from the
body by surgeons, together with a bit
of lead, fragments of brick, and scraps
of clothing, and the fact that in Jan
uary, 1918, a letter received by Mr..
Greenwood demanded delivery of $5,-
900 at certain spot under penalty Of
having his home destroyed by an ex-
plosion.
The letter was signed &C. c.. of c."
which initials also were appended to a
threatening letter received by Govern
or William D. Stephens before the Ex-
ecutive Mansion at sacramento was
dynamited a year ago. This led the
police to believe that the same per-
sons were responsible for both ex-
ploSiOns.
