 Hearing on Robbery Charge
Special @ The Herald

Southington. Jan. 5.--The cases of Eugene La Flamme of New, Britain. charged with robbery and carrying concealed weapons and William Zon- ghetti of East Hartford. charged with being an accomplice. were heard be- fore Judge T. F. Welch in the town court yesterday. Both men were bound over to the March term of the superior court the former being held under bonds Of 5000 and the latter under bonds of s2,000.
 The men were arrested in Water bury about a week ago and when confronted by the officers La Flamme confessed to being implicated in the robbery at the Milldale waiting sta- ton on Christmas eve. Zonghetti ad- mitted driving La Flamme to the vicinity of the robbery on that night and to having heard shots fired.
 A bit Of spice was added to the trail when La Flamme, while being led from the court room to the cor ridor of the town hall by Constable Murphy, attempted to twist the handcuffs from the constab ble's hand and escape. Murphy, however. lived up to his reputation of being a hard man to get away from and reaching out with his foot sent La Flamme spinning to the floor.

TUT'S TOMB NOT YET
 COMPLETELY SEEN
More Work to Be Done Garter
 Feeling Great Strain
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Luxor, Egypt, Jan. 5.-For the present at least, and probably for some time to come. it will be impos- sible to get a comprehensive view of the gigantic granite sarcophagus of Pharaoh Tutenkhamun, surrounded as it is by the nest of shrines.
 There is abundant evidence, how ever, to show that it fully bears out the surmise of the archaeologists that the sarcophagus of Tutenkhamun, the magnificent, would in every wise be worthy of the great era of art in which that pharaoh reigned. The coffin Of Harmahib, his successor, which now lies in the depths of Harmahib's ruined tomb not 400 yards from the resting place of Tut enkhamun, is also of pinkish stone and is of a purity of design and deli cacy of workmanship that represent the great sculpture of Egypt at its best notably the protective goddesses at the four corners. covering with outspread wings. as it were, the body of the dead king.
 utSnhndtlun pTeCe0e0 darndnlD by some 20 years and it is therefore fair to assume that when his coffin is stripped of its surrounding shrines it will stand out in the glare of How ard Carter's arc lamps as one of the most perfect and most beautiful ob- jects of its kind in the history of Egyptology.
 It is considered probable that the excsvators will arrange for a view of the sarcophagus in its shrines for the official world within the next week or so.
 AS Mir. Carter is sanguine Of being able to radiogrsph the contents of tho coffin through the stone. there is some speculation as to whether, now that tho sarcophagus has been found, he may not alter his previously an- nouneed decision not to employ Roentgcn rays on the tomb this sea- son.

PROVES
 ID BE SUCCESSFUL
Links Up Radio With Movies,
 Making Them Talk

Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.-The phono- film. mbination of radio and motion pictures, the invention of Lee De Forest. has been demonstrated successfully, according to those who have heard and seen the talking pie lures, It is his object to produce motion pictures in which the charac- ters speak. Dr. De Forest gives this explanation of the process:
 Tn the studio motion picture is taken in the usual manner but in ac- cordance with the camera lens, which registers action, microphone regis ters every sound made by the actor. A wire from the microphone passes through an audion amplifier to a gas filled tube called the photiom, To- cated in the camera. The light from this tube fuctuates in exact accord ance with the amplified telephonic currents which originated from the actors lips.
 "A very fine slit is located near the negative film through which these fluctuating light rays are registered on the sensitive emulsion of the negative as fine lines which are actual photographic sound waves and, being on the same film as the picture, in- sure perfect synchronism at all times.
 "A positive print is then. made in the usual manner. In reproducing. a small attachment is placed on the standard motion picture machine. This attachment contains small in- candescent lamp which is placed in front of the photographed sound waves on the films, This light pass ing through the sound record. falls upon a photo-electric cell, its bril- liancy being governed by the density of the photographed sound waves. The photo electric cells electrical re- sistance at any instant is determined by the amount of light falling upon it.
 "The telephonic current from the cell is then passed through the au- dion amplifer, where it is built up hundreds of thousands of times. Thus, the actors words are converted into tclephonic currents, amplifed, photographically registered on the film and eventually transformed back again into telephonic currents which arc made audible by the loud speaker.
 The motion picture must be pro- jected upon a screen to be viewed, it Is likewise necessary to project the sound in order that it may appear to come from the actors lips. This is lone simply by running d lamp cord from the machine to the screen where n loud speaker is attached"

Louisville, Ky. Jan. 5.--A survey today Of high water and flood con- ditions at various river points in Ken lucky disclose property damage at tended by inconvenience of dwellers in near-river lowlands. So far cases of actual or impending hardship or danger apparently were lacking.
 The Ohio river passed flood stage, 2S feet here last night and con tinued to rise slowly early today. A crest at 30 feet was forecast for to- morrow or Monday A number of families in Shipping Port river front district, quit their homes, but others preferred to await actual flood con- ditions before retreating.
 Move to Higher Ground
 Reports from Owensboro were that the Ohio was climbing its banks steadily there. Dade Park, racing plant 40 miles below Owcnsboro, was said to have been flooded. Farmers Owensboro, were moving 10 higher ground, having had ample warning to move livestock.
 At Paducah, the Ohio was not eN- pected 10 reach flood stage Of 43 feet The Cumberland and Tennessee rivers were running full tide, reports from Paducah said, but serious flood dan gers were not anticipated.
 Ferry Service stopped
 Ferry service was suspended at Boonsboro on the Kentucky river, due to high water. Frankfort reported last night the crest reached there on the Kentucky river with a stage of 36.4 feet, the highest in ten years. Families forced from their homes were quartered in a Baptist mission and supplied with hot coffee and food.
 Two miles Of the Jackson highway between New Haven and Atherton- vile was under water from the Roll ing Fork river and tourists bound to Florida by motor were reported tenn porsrily halted and mail service par ually disrupted.
