 The body of James Curfman, known throughout the Territory as "kagway Jim." was found one night recently after search which lasted for several hours. Heart disease was probably the cause of the pioneers death. His body was found lying in the snow near a tree which he had just chopped down. Death occurred between 10 o'clock in the morning and 11:30 at night. The body was frozen when found. Curfman owned a homestead at the 14-mile post out of Fairbanks. He had been cutting wood for some time and was out as usual on the day of his death. Roger Nelson, who has camp nearby, heard him working on an island, To- cated in slough which runs near the road, between 9 and 10 a. nn- Nelson

continued working, but several hours later realized it had been a consider able time since he had heard Curf- man. He started out to make search. but could not find the spot where the pioneer had been cutting wood. Later Claude Stewart and Tom Lowell, who were hauling wood from the vicinity. joined the search. Thinking that Curfman might have gone to the I8- mile roadhouse, they drove there, but found no trace of him. The men re- turned to 14-mile, and after more intensive search found the body.
 James Curfman was about 69 or 10 years of age. He came north to Skagway in the early gold rush days and later stampeded to the Klondike. From Dawson he went to the Interior of Alaska, where he had resided since. He mined in many sections, including Hot Springs and the Fairbanks dis trict.

CROSSING UNPROTECTED;
 TWO PEOPLE KILLED
Stamford Boy and Girl Die When Train Hits Automobile at
 NOrWalk.

Norwalk, Oct. R-Driving his car over the New Canaan street crossing last night, was responsible for the killing of Lawrence A. Ro- berts, 21, and Emily Hatch. 19. both of Stamford. The crossing. which is protected by a gateman six days a week, is unprotected on Sunday. One machine had already stopped at the crossing to allow the express to get by when, it is alleged, Roberts drove to the side of the stopped car and proceeded across the tracks.
 Eye witnesses to the accident say that he drove at approximately 30 miles an hour over the crossing and when he was in the middle of it evil dently saw the approaching train and tried to swerve his car to the side of the tracks. The train after crashing into the car, carried the wreckage a distance of over 150 feet down the tracks When trainmen lifted inc bodies of the couple out of the car it was apparent that they were dead, but they were rushed to the Norwalk hospital. where life was found to be extinct.

POLICEMAN INJURED

 -Is Badly Hurt.
 New Haven, Oct. 1 R}-Sergeant Harry Barrows of the Hamden po- lice department was seriously in- jured last night when he drove his motorcycle into the path of a freight train at the Goodrich street crossing in Hamden. A temporary injunction obtained by the town of Hamden to restrain the New Ha- ven road from changing the cross ing from one handled by gate man to automatic signal. is sup posed to have been the reason for the accident. A short time ago the gateman at this point had been re- lieved and the automatic signal in- stalled After the injunction had been granted the signal had not been operated. It is thought that Barrows failed to hear the oncom- ing train as there was no operated signal going and had attempted to cross the tracks. He is suffering from fractured skull at the Grace hospital The motorcycle was car ried on the front of the train some distance down the tracks before Barrows was hurled to the side of the tracks

BERLIN HAS BIG VOTE
 FOR TOWN OFFICERS
About 1,200 Ballots Cast Many Split Their
 Choice

All records went down today in Berlin when approximately 1,2o0 voted at the annual town election. Never in the history of the town was the vote so large and never in his- tory were there as many split votes. The polls closed at o'clock but be- cause of the number of split ballots, few votes were counted by press time.
 Of SIP who voted in the first dis trict. Berlin, 90 split their ballot. Most of the splits were for John P. Lewis who is running independently following his defeat for the demo- cratic nomination for constable at the democratic caucus. He will lose many votes. however. because of the fact that voters have signed his name "J. P. Lewis" and "J. Lewis" I" Only John P. Lewis' votes will count legally.
 Leon G. Hall. republican candi- date for first selectman is practical ly assured of election over Raymond Dyer, the democratic nominee. it is said.

BRIDGEPORT ROBBERS
 VISIT EIGHT PLACES
Get Approximately $4,50O in Safe Breaks During
 the Week-End

Bridgeport, Oct. R-Safe rob- bers visited eight places in Bridge port Sunday night and early this morning, broke open safes and cash registers and made their getaway with approximately $4,50O.
 Warner Brothers Cameo theater on State street suffered the great est loss, a bag containing $4.316.G1, mostly in silver coins being taken from the safe at this place. The money represented Saturday and Sunday receipts.
 Police had been watching for the men since last Wednesday at one place visited. the Pembroke laundry at ss6 Madison aysnue. The safe robbers happenSd 10 break into this place. however at II o'clock last night when the police were shifting. one officer returning to the police station before the relief had ar- rived. The yeggmen were unable to force the door of this safe open.
 Besides the Cameo theater and the Pembroke laundry, other places visited were: Carl Lund's meat market, 71 Wood avenue: West End Bottling Works, State street; Morgan Linen Service Company, Inc. Ash street: Atlantic Gas station, Wall and Water streets; Frank Healy's mar ket, Main street. and Reynolds gar- age. Dewey street.
 At least two men took part in the safe breaks 1t is believed. One of them is described as about six feet tall, light hair and complexion; the other short and stockily built with dark curly hair.
 They are about 30 or 35 years of age. Both men were wearing soft hats when they visited the places.
 The two men were spotted" as safe robbers when they visited the Pembroke laundry last Wednesday, introduced themselves to William H. Minty president of the concern as hotel men who were planning to open a new hotel on West Liberty street. and talked with Mir. Minty Tor about an hour. securing quota tions from him on the laundry work which their hotel would have done each week. The laundry company manager and his secretary noticed that the men were observing the safe in the office as we'll as the doors and windows and reached the con- clusion that they were not hotel men at all but were yeggmen. Police were informed of the visit without delay and a warning was sent out to laundry proprietors throughout the city to be on the watch for the men.

BROCK AND SCHLEE UP F|F7Y.TWO HOURS
Stand Good Chance of Breaking Endurance
 Record for Flight

San Diego, Cal. Oct. R-After two days and nights in the air, Ed ward Brock and William Schlee, were forging ahead toward 8 new endurance flight record in the Bel lanca monoplane today.
 The aviators, who last year flew from Detroit to Tokyo, had been aloft 52 hours at 1o:49 o'clock this morning and were still going strong with the prospect that they would be able to remain up until 1:l5 a. m., tomorrow to beat by one hour the present record of 65 hours. 25 min utes, held in Germany.
 The nlonoplane was being flown on course between Coronado and the Mexican border at 1880 a. m.
 Before the start early Saturday the airmen calculated that their gasoline supply of $50 gallons would keep them going 80 hours.
 Brock and Schlee took off at 6:49 a. m.. Saturday in the effort to bet ter the record of 65 hours, 25 min- utes. established by the German air men Johann Ristice and Wilhelm Zimmerman last June. To gain off, cial recognition the airmen must re- main aloft an hour longer than the record.
 Last night the fliers were chased inland by a sea fog which forced them down to 800 feet. where they kept under the fog. Good flying weather was forecast for today.
 At the takeoff the plane carried 5G0 gallons of gasoline. 2l gallons of lubricating oil and q plentiful food supply. It was said to have been the heaviest load ever lifted by a single motored plane, the gross weight being 6,15O pounds.
 The takeoff. featured by the me- cessity of keeping on an even keel with such a load, was described as masterful piece of airmanship.
 The plane taxied down specially constructed runway for seven- eighths of mile. rose very slowly and flew straight out to sea, barely clearing the waves. To have banked and turned at that low altitude would have meant a dive into the ocean.
