Regular transatlantic teiephoaIng is How an accomplished fact. Every day business and private interests in New York and London are calling back and forth 5 fth little more diff culty than as though only the Hudson river separated them instead of 3.300 miles of ocean
 The first official communication opening the regular service was on January between Walter s. Clifford. president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. and Sir c: Evelyn P Murray, Permanent Secre- tary of the General Post Office of Great Britain, the department which controls and operates the telephone system of that country. After their conversation was concluded the radio channel was made available for com mereial service.

 WIFE QUITS HOME
Bride of Six Weeks Walks Out, Divorce Court Hears

Three New Britain divorce cases were heard in the superior court in Hartford yesterday. Frank Kowal- czyk of Gold street was granted a divorce from Mrs. Anna Kowalczyk grounds of assertion. It was his third attempt to secure the separa- ton on the same complaint and Judge Edwin c. Dickenson granted him the decree.

Thornton. age 6$ years, wife of a former steward of the New Britain club by Archie Thornton. age 55. her brother.in-law in Hoxie. R. I. three years ago. Mrs. Kowalczyk was a maid in the house.

 Judge Waldo P. Marvin reserved decision in the case of Alba Rizzi Raineault of 242 Oak street. who sued for divorce from Earl Raineault of 1s3 Main street on the grounds of intolerable cruelty. Raineault was divorced on the same grounds by his first wife on June 25. 1923.

RED GROSS FUND
 NEARING ITS GOAL
Interest Grows Instead Of Wan.
 ing, Officials Report

A suggestion that the local Red Cross chapter raise an extra thou
 sand dollars or more by holding a
 public entertainment on the green
 at Center Square and take up col lection among the crowd has been
 made to Chairman Curtiss L. Shel-
 don and Treasurer Leon A. Sprague.
 It is understood the plan is under consideration. The original sugges-
 tion was that the entertainment be held this evening.
 According to the plan. which was suggested by prominent advertis- !. ing man, we'll known local singers, professional actors from the Strand theater, and a snappy jazz band would attract enough people to raise 'sl 900. Another suggestion is that there be Red Cross tag day. The feeling of sympathy for vic tims of the Mississippi river flood district is permeating to the pock- etbooks of local people until it now is becoming the subject Of conver-
 sation and even plans in the family circle. In addition to the two boys mentioned yesterday who sacrificed | their savings to contribute to the cause comes a report today of an- other boy who gave up . cherished trophy he had a chance to add 10
 lifetime collection to send his dol lar to the Red Cross.
 The concert at the South church Thursday night, which netted s211 has brought suggestions of other plans such as teas, golf tournaments, baseball games, strawberry festivals. entertainments, etc, many of which are said to be under consideration. While there is no question about New Britain being able to raise the full s10.O0O of its quota. there is no intention of stopping there. The numoer of victims of the greatest flood in the history of America con- tinues to increase and National Red Cross has asked that communities
 keep on raising funds indefinitely. $8,O42 Already Collected The local drive Is nearing its goal with S629.65 added today to bring
 the total to $9.O42.17, Treasurer l..
 Sprague reports.
 A concert in the South church last
 night brought $2l1.35. Other con- tributions included: Central Junior

ASSEMBLY ENDS
 SHORTEST SESSION
Governor Comments Legislature
 on Its Work

Hartford. May ' R-"Conserva- ton and clear thought marked the accomplishments of the members of the 1927 general assembly they were told by Governor John Trum- bull in his closing address at the joint convention Of adjournment late yesterday. The legislature creating a record for early adjournment ad- journod without date at $50 p. m. daylight saving time.
 The most important accomplish n1ent of the body, in the opinion of Senator Samuel C. Shaw Of Redding, who directed the activities of the upper branch. was the new board of control and finance.
 Representative William NJ. Citron of Middletown, house minority lead CT. was of the opinion that no real legislation was passed. 'The legisla- ture spent more time on private acts than it did on matters of funda- mental principles" he said.
 The public will be the judge as to the success of the 1927 assembly, House Majority Leader Ernest l.. Averll Of BranCord said.
 The last day of the session was much like the last day of previous sessions Lots Of fun in the house, the senators 'transactins what busi- res there was before them and pa tiently waiting for the lower branch to conclude its frivolities: the last minute rush to get through one or more important measure; then a few minutes of solemnity for the closing formalities; the 'oyez, oyeZ. oyez' of the sheriff and the procla- nation of adjournment by the secre- tary of state.
 Yesterday had an additional fea- ture. It brought the first defeat for Mr. Averill. who through the four months had held insurgents in check and led the house against the mi- nority attacks. Twice the house boltcd and acted contrary to the wishes of the organizati ton leader. One of the defeats later was turned into victory, however, the house re- ceding from it's first action in post poning indefinitely a Waterbury police bill and adopting the measure as the leader had urged.
 The only new revenue producing measure given the state was passed yesterday. It was the movie tax bill, greatly amended over the form in which the house approved the meas ure the first part of the week. The bill as amended and passed yester- day imposed a tax on places Of amusement based on seating ca- pacity.
 The bill originally called for a four per cent tax on the gross re- ceipts. It is estimated that the state will receive about S250, oc0 the next two years through the act. whereas the four per cent bill would have netted about $500,000.

KIDNAPPERS FREE
 B0OTLEGG|NG DUO
Scharin and Taylor Given
 Freedom After One Week

New York. May R-Enorts of Chicago gangsters to extend their kidnapping operations to New York were believed by police today to have been nipped in the bud owing to the frustration of their scheme to hold for ransom Abraham Scharlin and James Taylor, by the killing of one conspirator and the arrest of two alleged co-conspira- tors.
 The two men told police they were awakened early yesterday in the Brooklyn house, where they had been held fora week, and told to dress for what they believed was to have been their last automobile ride.
 Blindfolded. as they had been since their capture. the men were led from the house. Keep your heads down both of you. if you know what is good for you," one of their guards told them.
 The car drove several blocks. The bandages were torn off. Their watches and a stickpin of Scharlin's were returned to them and each was given three one dollar bills as taxi fare.
 The two men. thoroughly fright ened and almost unable to see from their week of darkness, step ped from the car and walked away. They finally reached a place where there was q telephone and reported their release to friend. They did not inform the police and the au- thorities learned of their release only indirectly.
 Scharlin and Taylor said they were not beaten by their captors, but that they were confined to a small room on the upper floor of the house. their eyes were taped, their ankles shackled. and they were handcuffed together.
 Both Scharlin and Taylor were reluctant to relate details of their imprisonment. Police said both had admitted being involved in al- cohol operations which left them exposed to kidnapping.
 POIlCe lOCdlcu lIc IlouoC III oA .J seventh street, Brooklyn. The gang had moved out all furnishings with the exception of an iccbox. and the barrel of a sawed off shotgun of the type used in beer and bootleg wars in Chicago.
 The kidnapped>m said they had observed tear gas bombs, pistols and shotguns in the car that took them to Brooklyn. The gangsters whose early ransom demands of $4oO,oo0 finally dwindlcd to s2o,ooo. obtained but sa6 in money which they took from Scharlin's pocket.
 The only time the blinds were re- moved from their eyes was when Taylor was allowed to see to sign five checks, each for s3,ooo, which were found on the dead gangster, Joseph Marcus, whom both identi- fled as having been the leader Of the Kidnapping gang.

(Contipued From First Page)

These and other angles of the case are being considered by the po- lice, but it was said today that lit tie progress is being made towards the apprehension of the gunman. The fact that the officer and others who saw the fellow are certain that they had never seen him before adds to the difficulty of running him down.
 Officer Doty meanwhile Is resting comfortably at New Britain General hospital, following the operation yesterday for removal of the bullet. It was said this morning that he had a good night and it Is expected he will recover.
