William H. Judd whose silhouette appeared in Saturdays edition of the paper-the New Britain Herald had no guessers, thanks to Prov idence. These week treks to the shore or mountains certainly take up ones time. so much 50, in fact, that the editor can almost count on the dollar for himself to raise whoopee- The gasoline for the motorcycle is hereby purchased with sweeping banquet of thanks 10 the New Britain general public for not guessing. If the editor had been awfully sure of the dollar he would apple along with an ice cream cone which she ate while yours truly took dip in rented bathing suit. It is strangely singular that nobody guessed MT. Judd. You would think some democrats should know him. they talk about him enough to at least recognize him when they see him on the street. Wouldn't it have been funny if some prominent poli- tician won the dollar and gave it to the democratic town committee at the next election?

VOICE OF CITY AT STRAND

'The Voice of the City" Willard Macks all-talking picture which opened at the Strand theater last night, is an excellent example of the high entertainment talking pictures can afford. It is a Cosmopolitan pro- duction for Merto- Gold wyn- Mayer. aRd is just about one of the best stories of gangland the screen has yet offered.
 The story deals with a jail break and the man hunt following. The Voice of the City" permits all the crisp dialogue Of the stage plays Of Willard Mack. its author and di- rector. plus much wider range of scene. It is to be doubted if on the stage the action could move as fast as it does in this talking picture.
 The vaudeville bill will offer five acts with Jose and Edythe and Ben Irving and his Columbia Recording orchestra. Ben Irving is a former New Britain boy and we'll known in this city az leader of the orchestra. Other acts include Lawtow "The Man from Jugglonia." Three Little Cops in Stop and Go:" senna and Dean in ''Charlies Night Out" and Charles Regal and Co. in The Worlds Greatest"
 On Thursday for the last half of the week the Strand will present the Paramount all talkie Gentle men of the Press stirring news paper drama with Walter Huston, celebrated stage star in the leading | role

 The statement of the border pa trol that the chase took place in broad daylight was another disputed point, the district attorneys office said. hard to explain. The prosecut- or's men asserted that hospital at tendants told them the border pa- trolmen left Gcrdon's body at their institution about 6 o'clock Saturday morning. This. they said. would in- dicate that the chase took place in the early morning hours.
 Tulloch said Patrolmen Coveney and Cheatham tried to block Cor don's car with their two machines after they had sighted him coming down one of the booze trails" not far from the border. The officers reported that Gordon's automobile took a wheel of fthe first car. ca- reened into a ditch and was just strengthening out when the second car loomed before him. They said Gordon stopped. jumped out and ran back toward the border. which. the officers asserted, he was trying to recross.
 The custom collectors statement quoted Cheatham and Coneney as saying that Gordon could distin- guish their uniforms and that they ordered him to stop with the cus- toma.ry command of United States customs. halt"
 Gordon was within few feet of the Canadian border when he was brought down. Cheatham said that when he approached Gordon, the youth said: You got me"

 The officers. according to Tul- loch's report, took Gordon in one of their cars 10 Dr. O'Neill at Mooers, headquarters in this section for the border patrol, and was advised by him to rush the youth to a hospital at Plattsburg. He died en route.
 Cheatham, according to his report to the collector asked Gordon just before he died if he had anything to say.
 Tell my mother I am sorry for all this" the youth is quoted as say ing. II am not bootlegging for my self. but for a New York man." After taking Gordon's body to the hospital the officers departed with out leaving their names. attendants said, and Collector Tulloch's state- ment showed that they communicat- ed with his office by telephone im- mediately afterwards and then drove from Plattsburg to Ogdensburs, 135 miles. to report personally. i The collector said both Coveney and Cheatham had good records, had never been involved in a shoot ing before and that neither has been suspended.

He~has used the advertising columns of the Herald to make known his stock in trade for good ly number of years, and he is one of those gentlemen who are so dearly loved by the business office because of the ideas he entertains about pro- gressive advertising in all its fam boyancy and its tendency to flirt with stability.

PASSED BY SENATE
Over Twenty-Five Million Voted
For Educational Institutes
Throughout State.

The state senate today passed the
education appropriation bills carry
ing appropriations of $22,551,2 7O for
state educational institutions for the
next two years.
The appropriations are $2,157,019
more than the amount set aside two
years ago. They also exceeded recon-
mendations of the commission of ad-
ministration and finance by $2,271,-
80.
Appropriations for the University
are 100000 more than was appro-
priated two years ago. Another item
in the increase was $4,000 addition
al for improvements at the state
teachers colleges.
Additional funds also are provid-
ed for state aid as the item appro-
priated for this purpose two years
ago was too small to pay all the aid
required by present laws.
The appropriation for the univeris-
ty was $3,550,00 a year with a special
appropriation of $4,000 a year for
the Grand Rapids school of agricul-
ture and $4,000 a year for pay
ment of the care of INDECENT patients
at the University hospital.

One STATE ADOPTS
SIX CENT GAS TAX
Indiana, Montana, Boost Rate
From 3 to Average Levy
Now 3.4 Cents.

Several legislatures have passed
bills increasing the gas tax during
the past month. South Carolina in
creased it's tax from to cents, the
first state to 60 above the nickel a
gallon rate. Montana and Indiana
boosted their rate from 8 to 4 cents.
Kansas and North Dakota went from
2 to cents gallon. This makes the
gas tax "roll of states" as follows:
Six cents-One state: South Caro-
lima.
Five cents-Six states: Arkansas,
Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, New
Mexico, Virginia.
Four cents-Fourteen states: Ala
bama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, 1ndi-
ana, louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Montana, Neveda, New Hampshire,
North Carolina, South Dakota, West
Virginia.
Three and e-half-One state:
Utah.
Three cents-Fifteen states: Cali
fornia, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont,
Wyoming.
Two cents-Nine states: Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts,, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Washington, Wisconsin. Also
the District of Columbia.
This leaves only two states with no
gas tax, New York and Illinois, but
the latter may have three cent tax
before this article gets into print.
The bill has passed the senate, run
the gauntlet of house committees and
is on the calendar awaiting third
reading in the house. Illinois adopted
a two cent tax in 1927, but due to
cetrain provisions in the law it was
held unconstitutional.
Recent increases bring the average
rate of 3.4 cent pser gallon. Bills for
increases are pending in several states
and if a few of them pass, the aver
age rate may go above four cents.
