CITY ESCAPES 4TH l WITHOUT FATALITY
List of Maimd and Injured Less
 Than Last Year
POWDER BURNS NUMEROUS
Roy May Lose Eye-Roman Can dle Star Goes up Polioeman's SIceve-Eight Deaths in State Bomb Kills Lad at Cheshire.

New Britain drew a blank in the national Fourth of July death lot tery although a long list of injured is evidence that the city celebrated Independence day.
 Accidents were fewer and less so- rious yesterday than last year, ac- cording to check-up of casualties today. Only two patients remain at New Britain General hospital today although several others were treat ed there. The blank cartridge pis- tol, which caused most oft he ac- cldents last year. again appears as the greatest trouble maker.
 Boy May Lose Eye
 Alfred Tonene, 13. of 45 Cranston street may lose his right eye as the result of a blank cartridge pistol backfiring. Alfred's parents had taken him from their home to a farm Tuesday evening to keep him out of danger. He had an old blank cartridge pistol but no cartridges. During the evening a neigh bors boy gave him cartridge and he attempted to fire 1t from his pistol. The discharge caught him in the right eye and so badly injured the eye that it was necessary for Dr. l.. R. Weir to perform an emergency operation at the hospital. It will be several days before it is known whether the eye can be saved.
 Two Hands Lacerated
 An explosion sent Jacob Nachasty, 29. of G. Woodland street to the hospital with both hands badly lacerated and the possibility of losing several fingers on his left hand. Nachasty was priming a can non when it exploded prematurely. He was treated by Dr. David P. Waskowitz. Others treated by the physician were: Edward Phillips. z. of Maple Hill, injured in the chest when boy tossed a fire cracker in his direction: Edward Curtis, 129 Putnam street, gun powder wound in hand, and Tony Nendretti, 9. Lawyer street, gun powder burns in neck.
 Girl Shot With Blank
 Pearl Goldberg, aged years, Of S6 Hartford avenue, was shot in the right breast by blank cartridge pistol in the hands Of Joseph Vala- lonta. aged 10. of 94 Hartford Ave. Supernumerary Officer Stephen Cof- fey reported that the children were playing in the rear of the girls home when the accident happened. Dr. Greenstein was called to attend her and found the injury was not serious.

 SUICIDE REPORT
Aviation Circles Doubt Death
 Was an Accident
RICHEST MAN IN EUROPE
Offered to Lend Belgium S50,OOO,- 900 for Two Years at No Inter- est-Opened Wrong Door tn His AirplAne.

Brussels. July 5 Pt-Rumors that Captain Alfred Lowenstein. killed in a fall from his airplane last night. was a possible suicide were denied today at the tinancier's office in Brussels.
 It was stated that the captain was not alone at the head of his nu- numerous affairs whose direction responsibility was shared by several prominent tinanciers, including the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corpor- aton of New York. From the tinan- cial viewpoint, it was said, Captain Lowensteins affair will proceed.
 Thought an Accident
 The belief in Brussels was that Captain Lowenstein was the victim of an accident in that he appar- ently mistook the door by which passengers leave the plane for the entrance to the Uashroom and in the darkness plunged from the machine.
 From the main cabin of the plane, door opens toward pass
 
 That on the right leads to the law atory and that on the left is the exit from the plane. The distance between the two doors is scarcely two feet. When Capt. Lowenstein's valet went to seek the tinancier, he discovered that LoWenstein had opened the wrong door and had fallen from the plane.
 Fell Into Sea
 Pilot Drew, who was in charge of the Lowenstein plane, said that no one was sure as to the exact spot where the fnancier fell from the plane.
 Capt Lowenstein left Croyden in his Fokker airplanc at SOS last night" Drew said. When the ma chine was passing over the North sea between Dunkirk and the Bel gian coast, I was handed a note by Lowenstein's secretary, NJ. Hodg- son, informing me that Capt. Low enste;1 had fallen overheard. inn mediately landed near St. Inglevert and proceeded to Fort Mardyck where, after informing the customs officials, telephoned Dunkirk to have a search made for the body. This was of little use as when the accident must have taken place, the machine was flying at a height of about 4,0oO feet

ITALIANS ARE OFF BRAZILIAN COAST Rome Paper Says They Ars Going to Rio
 THINK RECORD BROKEN
Take For Granted Chamberlain Mark of 3,0O8 Miles Has Gone bv
 the Board-ltaly is Wild With

Rome. July 5 CP'-The newspaper Glornal D'ltalia. without citing its source, says that the Italian trans atlantic plane of Captain Ferrarin and Major Del Prete reached tho Brazilian coast today and was going on to Rio Janeiro.
 Five Hours From Rio
 The newspaper says that at c:S0 ?. nl., Rome time, the fliers were between Pernambuco and Bahia and were five hours away from Rio Janeiro. with about 1000 litres of gasoline still remaining.
 The newspaper La Tribuna, car ries an Italian radio report from Rio Janelro saying that the aviators were near the Brazilian coast"
 The reaction to the despatches that the Savoia 64 had reached Brazil was expressed in banner headlines reading: Another Worlds Record conquered by Italians" and "Ferrarin and Del Prete Assure An- other First Place to Italy"
 Inform Mussolini
 The newspapers were held late to catch the long awaited bulletin and they take for granted that the Chamberlin-Levine record of 3.s0S miles has gone by the board. Tho Italian estimates of the distance from Rome to Brazil are %.sss miles.
 Premier Mussolini was informed of the newspaper reports while con- ferring with representatives of the workmens cooperative and told them: While we here are talking of our good activity in the fleld of labor, Ferrarin and Del Prete are gaining another triumph for Italy, flying over Brazil after superbly ac- complaining the flight over the At- lantic."
 The group cheered the premier's remarks. So intense is public inter- est in the flight that newspapers were snatched out of vendors' hands ls soon as they were received and the news stands were besieged.

Crowds gathered in the streets, watching the bulletin boards and scanning meagre reports received from north Braxl points which have picked up mes- sages from various steamers.
