BASSO ID SING IN HOME TOWN
New Britain Boy Will Give
 Concert Here

Andrew J. Basso. New Britain boy, who Is to give his first concert in public at the Capitol theater in this city, Sunday afternoon, October 26, has had a varied career in the musical world and, possessed as he is of finely developed tenor voice, Is fast climbing the ladden of musi- cal fame. His appearance in this city Is at the same time 8 compli- ment to the city wherein he started his career and also test of the greatest sort because 1t is well known that home audience is the most critical Of any when one dis plays talent of any kind, He will be assisted here by Miss Marie Bauby of Waterbury, soprano, and Guido Caselotti, pianist and teacher of New York city and Bridgeport.
 MT. Basso made his home in New Britain for 20 years and during that time was in great demand in musi- cal entertainments and in amateur theatricas. His voice at an early age was recognized as having an unusul quality and his appearances everywhere were greeted by capacity audiences.
 A few years ago, he started study ing vocal culture and sight reading under the tutelage of Mrs. Clara. Oakes Usher of Plainville and re- mained under her care for about three years. During that time, he rendered his first public recital in the Center church house in Hart ford and many of his friends from this city heard him there. It was remarked then how great the im- provement was in his voice and presentation. His second appearance was at the Palace theater in this city in a special singing act. He then appeared, supported by Miss Bauby. at an Italian show at the same thea ter, the affair lasting throughout an entire Sunday afternoon.
 Some time ago, Mir. Basso left for Bridgeport and New York and began studying under Rosatti who is acclaimed as one of the Italian mas ters of the voice and who has de- veloped many of the present day stars of the concert world.
 At the present time, he is study ing with MT. Caselotti a teacher of note and a pianist of the high order as well as the composer of num- ber of masterpieces for the voice and the pianoforte.
 Miss Bauby who will appear with MT. Basso. is soprano of the first magnitude. She is soloist in the church of the Immaculate Concep- ton in Waterbury and Is engaged between times in concert work in Waterbury and New York.
 MT. Basso plans to engage in con- cert work throughout the eastern states for about a year and then will go to Italy to continue his study there under celebrated masters who developed Enrico Caruso, John Me 1 Cormack and others known to music lovers throughout the world. His teachers predict glowing career for him and his critics liken his voice to that of the departed Caruso. Tickets for the concert will be exchanged at c. L. Pierce Co.'S store all next week.

lighter-than-a craft" said Maurice R. Pierce. acting commanding officer of the navy air station as he watched the monstrous yoyager nursed toward the alrdrome. He had sa- luted and congratulated the 2S Ger mans and four Americans as they greeted him from their cabin. The zR-s had become part of the equip nient of the naval air station Of which he temporarily was in com mand, i "It was remarkable demonstra- tion," he continued with reference to the voyage. "As 1t is completed, 1t appears that 1t was not spectacu- lar from the usual standpoint Yet it was spectacular when we con- sider the record size of the craft, the span of her flight, the extremely difficult and hazardous situations that were so successfully met by her navigators.' ,. '"rhe responsibility for her safe keeping will be ours now. We'll feel better when we have the ZR-3 waived of her hydrogen and safely berthed in the 'drome ready to be filled with helium when 1t becomes available.
 1 "She is a beauty and will be good mate for her stable mate, the Shenandoah. We all should be |. proud to come into possession Of her"
 The lady folk of the American officers, truged alongside the gided cabin, their joyful cries mingling with hundreds of others who laugh ingly, albeit reluctantly. obeyed the commands of patrols to keep back.
 They were the wives of Captain 1 Steele, Commander Klein and Major Kennedy and the majors eight year old daughter, and Lieutenant Con- mander Krauss' two sisters. Wants Her Dolly Papa, where's my dolly ?"shriIed the little Miss Kennedy.
 The major standing in the cabin window, smiled, reached behind him and held up to view the walking doll that he had brought all the way
 from Friedrichshafen for his daugh- ter.
 The only conversation carried on between the Americans and their kin was in pantomime on the part of the men aboard the ship. As long as they remained aboard they | obeyed the command of Dr. Eckener that silence be maintained in order that his instructions to the ground , crew might not be misunderstood. What do you suppose we'vs brought you" cried. the wife of one of the American officers. Broad grins overspread four faces. One hand gestured in the attitude of a glass to lips. Three others went through the motions of lighting cigarettes.

 Monday In Illinois Court

WHEATON, Ill.,, Dec. 6.-John kam- merer, the Bavarian who killed family of five with an axe in a dispute over the sum of $15, is expected to learn his fate from a jury Monday. With the the judge completed, the jury is expected to take but a few minutes in deciding arguments of counsel and the charge of its verdict.
 The state sought to upset the defense cast of insanity by placing two witnesses on the stand to testify to the prisoners normalcy. Dr. Raymond Doweu, a state alienist, testified that he had ex- amined Kammerer on November Is and found him sane. The superintendent of the Illinois hospital for the insane at Elgin, gave similar testimony.
 Dr. H. S. Hubert, Chicago alienist, testified he believed Kammerer insane and said his testimony was based on a series of examinations of the prisoner. Kammerer, according to Hubert, con fessed to him that he killed Mir: and Mrs. Otto Elder and their three children because they refused to pay back S15 borrowed from Kammerer about ten years ago.

Most Photos Clear In hi tial Transatlantic
 Transmission

Here are a few of the distinguished persons the Radio Corporation of America selected in making its sensa- tional experiment recently for sending photographs across the Atlantic by radio, and the inventors of the ap- paratus. More than a dozen pictures were successfully transmitted at the initial public test given the new device.
 The transmission time required from twenty to twenty-five minutes for each photograph The pictures generally were recognizable, and some were good, as can be seen in that of the Prince of Wales, above. The idea of photoradio- grams originated in remark made by Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of directors of the Radio corporation and of the General Electric company, at banquet in 1923. He said that he was tired of the dot and dash method' and wished to see the time when "an operator will press a key and zip! the first page of the London Times will be printed in New York" Less than two years of experimentation were required to realize his dream.
 The system is rather complicated in detail. The picture is photographed by an ordinary camera and the negative placed about a cylinder. The cylinder revolves about an incandescent light, so that the light and dark portions of the negative can be translated by an "eye'' into electrical wave or impulses. The latter are transmitted by radio the same as the dots and dashes.
 Time is the most expensive element in transmitting photoradiograms, of ficials say, the cost of sending an ordi- nary picture being around $40.

had believed that the warehouse, one of several in Chicago, was burglar proof and 80 had moved all confiscated liquor stores in the Chicago area from other storage places to this one stronghold.
 ''It is apparent that this is an inside job," said Chief Deputy Howard. "Per- haps these doors were broken to throw our investigators off the track" The liquor had been removed in a fleet of several trucks; he contended.
 Scouts Theory
 Madden, however, asserted he be- lieved that "the burglars took away a small amount of this whisky at time. It seems almost impossible for a gang 10 have entered the place under the eyes of an armed guard of soldiery and to have carted the loot away in trucks"
 Those under arrest comprise several members of the soldier guard and ciyi- lian warehouse employees.
 The burglary was discovered early in the week and reported to Marshal Levy. Upon advice of District Attorney Edwin A. Olsen, he kept the affair a secret until early today when the arrests were made. Levy said he believed the place was footed either Saturday or Sunday.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6-Eight men were under arrest tonight in connection with the footing of an army warehouse of liquor stocks, valued at $50, 900 to S1OO,- 900. Six others were being sought, one a notorious whisky runner recently ac- cused of murder in beer war, Chief Deputy Marshal Sam Howard said.
 Meanwhile A. P. Madden, head of the prohibition department intelligence serv- ice, said he had reports that the burg larly had been staged to cover up illicit withdrawals of ilqquor over a period of a year and half. He pointed out that United States Marshal Robert R. Levy had been custodian of the liquor since he took office in 1922. Madden declared he would inquire into Levy's administration of the stores on the strength of the evidence given him.
 Door Is Broken
 Entrance to the warehouse was gain ed, apparently, by breaking in a steel door. Fifteen similar doors, leading to inner compartments, were found to have been pried open. Government officials
