GORDON SUES FOR $500

A third action has resulted from the collision of automobiles driven by Biagio Petrunti and Harry Cor don at the intersection of Hart and Griswold streets on April 20 last. Today, suit for $500 damages was brought by Harry Gordon against Petrunti, through Monroe s. Cor don. The writ is returnable in the city court the first Monday of June and Constable John s. Recor served the papers.
 Gordon claims that he was pro- ceeding along Hart street at a speed of Is miles an hour on the day men, toned and that Petrunti, with no regard for traffic conditions or for the speed of his car, drove up Gris- wold street and crashed into the plaintiffs car, overturning it. The plaintiff states that he had the right of way at the time and that the de- fendant failed to keep a proper look out or to sound warning as he approached the intersection.
 The plaintiff claims that he re- ceived body bruises and bruises and cuts on the arm. He is employed as a salesman for Gordon Brothers, he states. and. as a result of the ac- cident, he has been unable to give proper attention to his work.

With truck furnishing the motive power. the monoplane was lowed to the west end of Roosevelt Field where the America Trans Oceanic Company. owner of the America" soon to start on flight to Paris, has long runway to use as a speedway as heavily laden planes taxi along to get the tre- mendous speed necessary to get them into the air.
 The .youngster, who has declared that he believes in his plane which shows that he has confidence in himself, again justified his reputa- tion for doing the unexpected. He stopped the plane when he reached the spot where the runway begins and began putting in the rest of his gasoline.
 Docs The Unexpected.
 In turning the nose of his plane toward the northeast he was almost on his course from the beginning but he sacrificed safety precaution. If he had started the other way and failed to get off the ground or was forced to land after getting into the air Curtiss Field nearby would have been a safety zone.
 Has No Radio.
 Epl wit weeks supply of army emergency rations, "Slm" has no radio and probably will be not heard from until he lands in Paris. He will go the great circle course following the compass all the way. He hoped as he left that he would "get break" off Newfoundland where he was anxious to be able to see land markings and get his bearings for his dash across the ocean to Ire land.
 Had Little To Say.
 Always young man Of few words. he had even less 10 say than usual before he left this morning. When the plane was being fuelled and then carefully wiped he sat in an automobile nearby with B. r. Mahoney of the Ryan Air Lines, builder of the plane. He seemed i'm patient to hop off. He half smiled when the weather began to clear and when the sun finally came out just before he crawled into the one seated cockpit to tune up his motor his smile was a broad grin.
 Rivals Give Greetings.
 Clarence D. Chamberlin, who has hoped for several weeks to get off on hop to Paris, wished Lindbergh good luck as did Commander Rich ard E. Byrd. who will follow the trail blazed by the youth in a few lays. Commander Byrd's careful

He was given a cheer when he ap- peared at his hangar. another when he crawled into the plane and two big final cheers as he started taxi ing down field and then climbed into the air. He did not hear tEe last one.
 The onlookers were more excited than Lindbergh. He was cool enough or he would not have been able to leave the ground. He ate little hut that was not because he was ner- vous. he explained. He jrst was not hungry.
 And in spite of the fact that he has not had full quota Of sleep since he has been here waiting for chance to fly away he was highly alert when he left. Paris, he said, is a good place in which to sleep.

WILL ROGERS HOST
 ATLAUGHTER PARTY
Tells Audience in Hartford
 About His Experiences
(By Herald Reviewer)

l
 Mayor Will Rogers of Beverley
 Hills. Calf, and his tame lariats
 dropped off at Parsons theater.
 Hartford. last night for chat with
 residents of what he called the
 Maple Sugar Belt" of the United States. Will did most of the chat
 ting. The people on the other side
 of the footlights couldn't get a
 word in eedgewise they were laughing too much-and besides Twill monopolzed all the time be- tween S:S0 and II o'clock. But that
 was as it should be. The people
 had paid fancy prices to hear Will and there was no reason why they should interrupt his conversation and give him something for noth- ing. The motto of the night was
 The laborer Is worthy of his
 hire" and it was followed out me ticulously. But then, Will gets a fair days wage so he was agree able to do all the talking.
 Will told the folks that he was the only mayor in the world who was funny-purposely. If there were any other mayors present they probably crawled under their seats. Will described his experiences in
 Europe and didn't spare the horses as he drove roughshod over the natives. But he also paid his con- pliments to American tourists who pace up and down the land mak- ing nuisances of themselves anl preparing lectures for the Nor day Morning Literary club back home.
 Once or twice Will tried to get serious but the audience wouldn't let him because they had come to laugh and they intended to get their moneys worth He verged toward the serious when speaking about President Coolidge and his chances of reelection. ''Blastin' that feller out of the White House is goin' to be some job." he de- clared. His description of his visit 'o tHC PiGSiieilI NdS lttHllllS "ltH wit, concluding with the observa- tion, based on the means which were served: If anyone says that Calvin isn't a true economist just send him to me-
 Will also paid his respects to the American people for the penchant for interfering with other peoples; affairs and said it would have been a good joke on the United States if Italy and Jugo-Sayia had gone to war because all the U. s. marines were busy in Nicaragua and China and we wouldn't have been able to interfere. Will thought it was the height of humor for America to send marines 10 Nicaragua to regu- late an election when we have 50 much difficulty with our own cleo tions.
 Will concluded his evenings en- tertainment with his rope spinning tricks accompanied with banter and nonsense. From the time he started to talk until he said. For heavens sake. will you people go home, and let me go to bed," two and half hours elapsed. with a laugh for every minute. Will con- cluded his program in a tornado of applause.
