PROPOSED TAXES
 FAVORED BY MANY Property Owners Seem Satisfied With 20 Mills EXPECT QUIET MEETING
Thomas Mattco to Re Tried For TrHoncy in Local Court Today Trumbull B0wlcrs Meet Again Pythian Sisters Meeting,

In all probability, the meeting at the Town hall tonight will go down into history as one of the quietest ever held. Judging from opinions of var ious officials, indications point to the acceptance of the 20 mill tax as suit able for paying the estimated expenses of Plainville. It is understood that one particular official will oppose the resolution as he believes that 20 mills will not be sufficient to cover the ex- penses. He also states that the select man of any town is authorized by the statute laws to lay tax sufficient to pay the expenses; and the one sug- gested by MT. Johnson will turn out to be too small, he thinks. Whether or not he will present his facts remains to be seen. but the average taxpayer is satisfied with the proposed rate feeling that it should not be higher, it is reported.
 The need of finance and taxation for the compiling of the budget. This board, proposed and voted on, wi de- feated last fall. Today, were it in operation, officials believe there could be some savings on the budget One item which would save the town money, as estimated by Selectman Johnson, would be the holding of cleo tions for town officials but once every two years instead of yearly. Elec- tion expenses total $500 and over. This could be saved were the elections every other year.
 The sidewalk construction matter will also be discussed and voted upon at the meeting tonight The town will offer to pay a certain percentage towards laying walks where necessary Bowling Notes

MANY VACCINATIONS
Health Department Head Finds Parents of School Children Agree able to Protective Measure.

Dr. Fred P. Lee, superintendent of the board of health, reports fairly good response to the suggestion that school children be vaccinated against smallpox. The health department head anticipates better response in the next few weeks.
 The advisability of vaccination was exp'alned to the school committee several weeks ago by Dr. Lee. AS a result letters were sent to parents of school children through the children themselves.
 In cases where the parents do not feel they can stand the expense of having the work done by a private physician, the department will per form the vaccination.

 He Was Informed

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Sept. 22.-Will- jam k. Acker not only was present when Iver Enge was attacked and fat ally injured near here last June 10, but he himself aided the blows that caused Enge's death, according to tes- timony given today at Acker's trial by R.

 YUMA HOP-OFF
Leg of Trip Delayed Until Today to
 Permit of Repairs
IN HEAVY FOG
Will Stop at Yuma For Re fuelling and Then Pro-
 ceed to Arcadia

MORALES, AriZ., Sept. 22.-"Today' flight from El Paso to Nogales was the hardest part of our trip thus far,'' said Commander H. A. Strauss, of the C-2 "The difficulty we experienced was be- cause the ship was not designed to operate at such high attitudes while carrying such a large crew and such a heavy load of fuel.
 However" the commander of the big army blimp continued the fact that we were able to make the flight successfully at all goes a long way to- ward proving the practicability of dir igible balloons for commercial pur- poses"
 In discussing the flight from Fl Paso, where the C-2 took the air at 6:45 this morning, Commander Strauss said the dirigible flew for some time in a heavy fog, after which the flying 'got very decent" until about 9:30 o'clock when the sun came out and the air got very 'bumpy" or rough. This tossed the airship about considerably and made piloting very difficult job, Commander Strauss explained.
 The C-2 arrived here at shortly af- ter one o'clock this afternoon. Com mander Strauss had planned to re- plenish the ships fuel tanks and take the air again on the next leg to Yuma at 3:45, but in getting away from the ground the C-2 tore off a pneumatic bumper or pontoon devise designed to take up shocks on landing. To re- pair the damage would require about and he decided to postpone his hop off until tomorrow morning at day break.
 The heat of this afternoon, Com mander Strauss explained made con ditions bad for the hop off.
 According to present plans the C-2 will fly the 220 miles to Yuma, ar irving there about o'clock tomorrow afternoon. After short stop during which the ship will be refuelled the commander plans to take the air for the last leg of the transcontinental flight from Langley field. Va, to Ross field, Arcadia, Calf.

Crash and Cries of Fright ened Youngsters Heard
 Two Blocks Away

PITTSBURG, Sept 22. = (By The Associated Possibility school chil- dren, most of them less than F years , old, were massed in the lobby of the Strand, a new motion picture theatre in the East Liberty district late today awaiting admission to free show. As they impatiently waited, the concrete floor cracked from end to end and hurled them into the basement, The title of the film they came to see was "The Trap
 The body of eight-year-old Madaline Kunkle, dressed in holiday garb, was removed from the debris. The injured, 3s children and the theatre proprietor, were placed on cots in a nearby hos pital at approximately the minute the performance should have started.
 Sol Selznick, theatre owner, who fell with his guests, and four of the chill dren were in q serious condition to- night. A dozen girls were unconscious when they were dug from the broken mass of cement Some were bleeding profusely Others, vaguely realizing what had happened. whimpered and cried for their parents.
 Physicians at the Pittsburg hospital gave first aid to the injured before the institution was reached by a score of hysterical mothers. Victims who escaped grave injuries were permitted to go home.
 City officials began their investiga- ton as soon as the injured were re- moved.
 The free show was arranged several days ago exclusively for neighborhood school children. The program was to start about 4:3O o'clock, and the crowd on hand consisted of the early delega- tion seeking choice seats. The young sters had romped about the theatre until close to starting time. Then the restless group clustered around the ticket window.
 The crash and cries of the fright ened youngsters were heard two blocks away. Policeman and civilians who made the first rescues said some of .the children were buried three deep"
 Three jagged chunks of concrete were lifted from the unconscious form of a girl of about eight years. Under meath was bleeding, crying boy.
 Bremen lowered ladders through clouds of dust. The district chief was first to go down. At the bottom he noticed a frame under which several children were pinned. He called for rope and the frame. containing pos ter. was dragged to the surface.
