U.S. to Condemn Davis Property As Part of 20. Extension Site;
 Call for Building Bids Held Up
Department of Justice Preparing to Proceed to Take Over Real Estate by Recourse to Courts-Plans and Specifications for New Building
 Reported Complete.

Thus, once the land is finally ac- quircd through the condemnation proceedings, the treasury depart ment will be ready to proceed im- mediately to the task of advertising for bids, awarding the contract for construction and actual commence ment Of construction.
 The district attorney at Hartford has had the deeds to the land since July 3l, it is understood but has been unable to conclude the neces- sary procedure.
 The treasury has been helpless in the face of inability 10 get certifi- cation of the titles to the land from the justice department. This pro- cedure is always slow because of the heavy public building program going on all over the country and the ne- cessi.y of procuring absolutely cor rect deeds and titles for the land
 It is stated at the treasury that there is sufficient money on hand to proceed with letting of the New Britain contract at the earliest pos slble date, without waiting for a specific appropriation from congress. This last will probably be necessary before completion of the work but Will not entail any further delay once the treasury is able to proceed

Weariness Is Wearing
 Two AviatOrs Down

Cleveland, July tP-Weariness and the buffeting of choppy winds had made their test today of the en- durance pilots, Byron K. Newcomb and Roy l.. Mitchell, as they neared the end of their third day in the air Tn an attempt to break the worlds record of 172 12 hours for refueled flights.
 Their last communication to the ground crew as darkness settled last night was: We need rest more than any one thing right now" Previ- ously four attempts 10 refuel their plane had failed partly because of hazardous flying and partly, the fly CTS admitted, because the strain ot fighting adverse weather conditions had begun to wear them down.
 Newcomb and Mitchell took to the air at 6:3S:51 p. m., Friday. They must remain aloft until Saturday to break the record established recent ly at Fort Worth.

POLICE SAY GROSSO
 MURDER PRINCIPAL
Whalen Believes Suspect Took Racketeer for
 Fatal Ride"

New York, July 1 LPl - Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen to- day declared that, Tn the opinion of police investigators, Dave Crosse, now held as a material witness, was the man who took Frank Marlow. of the night clubs, on his fatal ride last Monday.
 Wanted in Mail Robbery
 Crosse, fugitive from justice for complicity in the Elizabeth, N. J., mail robbery according to the po- lice, with a price of s2,OOO on his head. was arrested last night in Long Island City. He has not been formally charged with homicide.
 Nicholas McDermott and James Graham were arrested with Crosse and are also held as material wit nesses.
 We have evidence" Whalen said. that Marlow had befriended Crosse and had helped him to hide from the police. Marlow, in financial straits himself, was unable to con- tinue his assistance to Crosse how ever. and it is our theory that Mar lows enemies promised to help Crosse and keep him hidden if he would get Marlow out of the way"

SUSPECTED OF INTENT
 TO ROB THEATER SAFES
Youth DaShes Out Of Palace Officc as Woman Caretaker Enters
 Desk Found Rif1ed.

What is believed to have been an attempt to commit burglary was dis covered in the Palace theater office in the lobby on Main street shortly after o'clock this morning by Mrs. Minnie Wells, caretaker. She opened the front door and a young man with dark hair and wearing a white shirt, dark trousers and tennis shoes ran out of the office, dashing through the doors into the inside of the theater and escaping. it is be- lieved, through door leading to the fire escape on the south side of the building. The door was found open.
 Snpernumerary Officer Gutowski was at Main and East Main street when boy sent by Mrs. Wells, mo- tified him and he hurried to the the ater. where he found that papers had been taken out of the desk drawers in the office and scattered about on the floor. Officer John NJ. Liebler arrived a few minutes later and the building was searched from cellar to gallery, Manager Peter Perakos having also arrived in re- sponse to call from the police. but no trace of the intruder was found.
 There are two safes In the office but they were not touched. The theory of the police is that the young man, who appeared to be not more than 16 or 17 years of age. had not been in the office long enough 10 start on the safe. So far as is known there was nothing of value in the desk.

National Education Association Told Proper Training Will Cut Number of Criminals-Other Addresses Made By Authorities.

Atlanta, July 1 (P-The charge that there were organized mova- ments afoot in most state legisla- lures to curtail public education. to- day was before the national educa- ton association convention, the rep resentative assembly of which gath cred for it's first formal meeting.
 IIampkin Makes Charge
 The thrust was made by Dr. tel w. Lampkin, president of the asso- citation in the course of an address to summer students of the University of Georgia at Athens. Ga.
 Declaring that only one of the state legislatures which have met iii the last 12 months had shown whole -hearted support of public edu- cation. Dr. Lampkin said the atti- tude of lawmakers generally indi- cated a backward swing which ultl- mately would lead to "deplorab!c conditions" He urged all teachers to fight the plans of the enemies of educational progress.
 Dr. Augustus o. Thomas, Maire state commissioner of education and president of the world federations of education associations. addressing a Second Baptist church audience, declared that women have written the most brilliant page in history since college doors were opened 'c them hardly a generation ago. Since then, he said. women have advanced from non-property owning citizens to holders in their own names of A. per cent of the national wealth. Goal Still Far Away
 But, he said, education's goal was far away from realization. He point ed out that but one and half pei cent of the public and private in- come was spent for education, while crime costs accounted for nearly nine per cent. The more spent or education, he said, meant that mucf less expended to detect, appreheDd and punish criminals.
