Church Street Explosions Cause
 Excitement in City's Center
STRAND SHOW CALLED OFF
Ten Thousand Pounds of Dough At Parker X Buckley Bakery Ruined -Splices in Heavy Underground Vault Burn Out.

Parts of New Britain had the ap- pearance of a mining camp for about seven hours late yesterday aft ernoon and last night following the failure of a power line furnishing light and current to establishments along Church and Main street. No lights were available during that time, excepting street lights, and those places which did business aft CT dark and were unfortunate enough not to be hooked up with gas were forced to use tallow can dies or oil lamps. The railroad sta ton, the Hotel Stanley and other places of business along Church street were illuminated" with can- dies and lamps. The cause of the trouble may not easily be deter
 mined though it did not take long to establish the fact that splices in the heavy cables in a transformer vault on Church street had burned out and the district was without electricity until temporary splices could be made, at which employees 1 or the COnncCllCut Light ana POW CT Co. worked throughout the night
 Manhole Cover Blown

ITALY ID COMPETE
 F0R SCHNEIDER CUP
Good Sportsmanship' Pre- vents Withdrawal De-
 spite Pilots Death

Rome, Aug. 2S P>-Italy, after the Schneider cup races in England Sept. because ot the death of onc Of her best competing pilots, will definitely take part in the blue ~ib- bon air race on the date schedule Hd Under of Aviation Balbo announced today.
 General Balbo, in the face of re- ports Italy would not compete this year because of Englands refusal to accept postponement, declared the Italian fliers would enter the races "as gesture of good sportsmanship and give the lie to the statements Italy would withdraw.
 However, the possibility of yic- tory for our squadron has been al most annulled by the death of Cap tain Motta, who in addition to beirg our best pilot was wrecked ID our fastest airplane."
 Captain Motta was killed last week when his airplane plunged into A<t'hN N'di teh uui d ltSl lIlpQl.
 We shall arrive in London with two hydroplanes, one absolutely new and never before in the water. and two motors untried in actual flights for speed" z
 GeneraS Balbo confirmed the de- parture of the Italian team yester- day for England. Shipping of the airplanes will be completed today and tomorrow.
 The Italian airplanes are two Macchi-67's with Isotti Fraschini motors developing 1,5OO and 1,SOo horsepower, and the Macchi-52 with which De Bernardo made his world speed record.
 There is also an absolutely new type of hydro-airplane known as the Piaggio T. This is something of a mystery plane. It floats on the water resting on it's wings, using no floats. It also has water propel- Ter, worked from the motor. which helns to lift it off the surface. Two Tegs' with fins attached run down into the water and help it to get away rapidly.
 The fastest airplanes, and those on which the Italian f1iers really count, are the Maachi-67's. Tn esq are expected to reach a speed Of 375 miles an hour.

 Unlike procedure in other courts the prospective juror remains standing while being questioned l The first two veniremen were chal- lenged for cause by the state and defense.
 An indication that the defense would inject the self defense theory into the case came during the ques- tionihg of L. S. Caldwell, a farmer who was the first juror approved py both sides.

 An indignation meeting which is expected to fill the Hebrew school hall on Elm street tomorrow night has been called to formally protest the alleged lack of protection af- forded the Jewish population of Palestine which has been attacked by Arabs.
 With the list of dead in excess of 100, and with several New Britain ties in the zone where the religious warfare is at it's height, local Jewrv is aroused to high pitch of excite ment and indignation.
 Leaders Criticize England
 Speakers well versed in the situ- ation- now, existing in Jerusalem and surrounding cities will be brought here tomorrow night to address the meeting. Zionist leaders today ex- pressed their sentiments in the fol- lowing statement:
 Many times in the past several years have various parties in Zionism protested to England against the way England was enforcing the Palestine n n q a a 1i m of h icI1 was to establish Jewish homeland in Palestine.
 'The Zionist executive recently warned the Baldwin government that serious consequences would follow the blind course being followed by England in the wailing wall con- troversy.
 'The permission accorded the Arabs to cut gate into the area adjoining the wailing wall was a gross violation of the status quo in regard to the religious shrines.
 Tt was very recently called to the attention of the English government the preponderance of Arab police in Jerusalem was a menace to the safe- ty of the city. AS was foretold. the Arab police turned traitors to their trust and permitted the wild and fanatical Moslems to rush and plund- CT at their will. Only the heroic de- fense set up by the few English and Jewish police and the Jewish in habitants young and old prevented far greater loss of life. Several times in the last few months has Vladimir Jobotinsky protested the removal of the gendarmerie from Palestine, leaving the country at the mercy of a growing religious fanaticism.

Kansas City, Aug. 2S LP-Head- ing straight for Chicago after pass ing over Kansas City this morning, the Graf Zeppelin pursued a north eastward course across Missouri and was approaching the Mississippi river shortly before noon.
 After circling the city for 1 min utes while virtually the entire popu- lation turned out to gaze with awe at the giant air visitor, the dirigible headed northeast and disappeared into the low hanging clouds. r Apparently Captain Hugo Eek ener, commander of the Graf Zep- pelin, had set course direct for Chicago, which would carry the ship northeast through Missouri. cross part of Iowa and into Illinois.
 Original plans had called for a flight directly across Missouri by way of Jefferson City and St. Louis.
 Efforts 10 get in touch with the Graf Zeppelin by radio here to ob- tain definite information on the route to be flown were unsuccess- full.
 Reports after the Graf Zeppelin departed from Kansas City confirm ed the belief that Captain Eckener was steering in a bee line for Chi cago in an effort to make up time lost in the passage from Los Angeles to Kansas City.
