Of this city, securely bound and gagged
and covered with I coat Of tar and
feathers, was dumped from an automo-

popularity was increased when some of
them found that he always was pre-
pared to help his friends in their les
sons. 1t was this fact which led San
tees mother, who came to Cambridge
to get her small son started comfort
ably on his college career, to remain
and keep house for him during his first
year: She was afraid he would work
too hard in the freshman dormitories
among the elder students.
Yet Mrs. Santee insists upon one
thing-her boy is not an infant
prodigy, and doesn't want to be.
Fred is nothing but an ordinary
boy Of thirteen" she said "The only
reason he is here in college at his age
is that he has always liked to study, as
another boy might like to rea Wild
West stories. He has been an outdoor
boy, and has always played baseball a
great deal. But whenever he got ar
opportunity he would study-as q
pGstime.
"All this fuss which has been made
over him since he came to college is g

More than 700 persons, among them
more than 100 patrolmen, stood for
hours last night in front Of the home
of Floyd Horton, hero police lieutenant
who gave his life Wednesday night in
d battle with gunmen on upper Broad
way. awaiting an opportunity to view
the body.
The little home in which the funeral
services were held, at 1859 Fifty first
Street, Brooklyn, would accommodate
only a small part of the crowd which
gathered to pay their last respects to
the man who died in the performance
of his duty. A second service, under
the auspices Of Lexington Masonic
Lodge, of which Lieutenant Horton wa
member, was held at 10 o'clock in
Sandolphin Hall, Forty-sixth Street
and Fort Hamilton Parkway. 1t was
largely attended.
The body of Lieutenant Horton will
be escorted by a guard of his former
comrades in the police force to the
Long Island station at o'clock this
morning. Interment will be at Downs

a letter from Commissioner Enright,

and its sympathy for his widow. 1t
said in part:
"His name has been added to the long

The worlds largest rigid airship will
attempt nonstop flight from England

announcement made by the Msnufact-

Navy ZR-2, purchased from the British
Air Ministry and formerly known as
R-Ss.
The airship IS one-third larger than
the famous R-34. which flew across the
Atlantic twice last year, and has more
powerful engines. Whether the new
airship Will continue OF in unbroken
fight to the Pacific Coast after cross

to q great extent upcn the possibilities
OF eQuipping suitable mooring ap-
paratus in California before that time
The new craft will be the first rigid
d;rigible in the United States. A giant
hangar and a sister ship are nearing
completion at Lakewood, n. J. The sis
ter ship is being constructed by the
Navy Department from designs drawn
by the Bureau Of Construction and Re

as the ZR-l.

Man Held for Burglary
Procures Bond Quickly

An instance of the quick working of
the bonding S stem, which judges have
complained is doing much to complicate
New Iork's crime problem, was afforded
last night in the case of Joseph Ces-
sario, of 416 West Forty-seventh Street,
accused of burglary.
Cessarlo, who is seventeen years old,
was arrested on complaint of Louis
Ayman, Of 4l6 West Forty ninth Street
whose window was forced a few days
ago and $1,000 in Liberty bonds and
cash stolen. Detectives from the West
Forty-seventh Street police station ar
rested Cessario, but the prisoner had
spent only few hours in jail when a
bonding company representative put up
a $1,000 bond, which was signed by
Magistrate Bernard Douras in the
Night Court.

IN when they are turned loose almost
immediately one of the patrolmen
said in disgust, as Cessario stepped
forth to freedom.
Police records show that such in
stances are common. In fact, judges
have remarked on the ease with which
persons who are charged with serious
crimes obtain at least temporary
freedom, through the activities Of
bonding companies. District Attorney
Swami has demanded that bail for per
sons charged with burglary and assault
be not less than $4,000, and that all
such persons now out on bail be given
speedy trial

TO halt. There was the sound of shot
and Camo fell, mortally wounded. His

Captain Stewart, after having his
own wound treated, went back on duty.
He said that he had intended firing at
the mans feet in case he attempted to

was accidentally discharged.
Camo was thirty-fve years old and

PARIS, Nov. 25.--Wiad and water
hold the solution of the fuel shortage
in France, f. Colardeau told his asso-

its last meeting. He presented what
he considered proof in The results Of
an installation on his kitchen faucet Of
water turbine which drives a dynamo
that charges storage batteries.
City pressure on the water, .he ex-
planned, is sufficient to furnish a
household with electric light.
In the country NJ. Colardeau would
install windmills. to pump water to
elevated tanks and utilize the fall of
the water through a pipe to turn the

New interest has been taken here in
this idea of household installations be-
cause the higher costs Of fuel and
