BALLOONS REPORTED IN NEW YORK STATE
Three Sighted in Central Section of State This
 Morning

Cleveland, Sept. 2 PSTwo vet erans of international balloon racing apparently were setting the pace as the Gordon Bennett Trophy racers veered somewhat from their expect ed courses and found themselves drifting across New York state today.
 A huge silken, bag identified as that of Captain Ernest de Muyter of Belgium, the dean of the 18th in ternational classic was reported over Earlville, in the central part of New York, at 6;30 (. m., (E S T). A distance of approximately 325 miles from the starting point

 A third lslloon believed to be Goodyear VIII. piloted by Ward van Orman, passed over Cortland, about 20 miles west of Earlville at S:10 a. m. The two remaining entries were unreported but presumably follow ing the same general direction.
 Observers of atmospheric condi- tions believed that the balloonists, instead of proceeding directly east ward across New York as the latest reports indicated, had good op-

COUNTERFEIT CHECK DETECTED BY BANK Flood of Bogus Paper. in / City Is Feared by
 Officials

What bank officials fear is suc- eessful attempt, the extent of which cannot be ascertained until tomor- row, to flood the city with bogus checks was discovered with the offering of one check for deposit in the New Britain National bank this morning.
 The check, on printed form bearing the words Metropolitan In- surance Co.," was made out to Charles Leonard and signed Charles F. Fallon. It was made out for $57 and was cashed at an Arch street chain store Saturday night.
 The check was deposited by the store manager Saturday night in the regular account at the Commercial Trust Go. The printed form stated that the account was in the New Britain National 'bank.
 Today William H. Judd, cashier of the New Britain National bank notified the Commercial Trust Co.,, and the Arch street merchant that the Metropolitan Insurance Co.,, has no account in that institution.
 The merchant did not know who the man was who cashed the check, simply that he made small pur-

COVER WIDE AREA
 HUNTING F0R BOY
Father Visits AirportS in Three
 States During Search /
FRIENDS QUlzZ FARMERS
No Word Received From Emil Andy. 15, Who Disappeared From Home in Clayton Last Thursday Grief Overwhelms Mother.

Intensive search over the week end and holiday during which hun dreds of miles were covered failed to uncover a trace of Emil Andy, Is, son of MT. and Mrs. Gerry Andy of Clayton. who left home last Thursday morning.
 The father visited airports in New York, New Jersey, Long Island and Rhode Island in an automobile, be- lieving that the boy, who had ex- pressed strong interest in aviation, might have gone to an airfeld for the purpose of obtaining work.
 Friends Search Country
 Seven friends in automobiles made a systematic search in Con- necticut. their routes being through different territories. They question ed farmers and others and broad cast a description of the boy but without avail.
 During the hunt the father re. ceived a clue which gave him mo- mentary hope that his quest might not be in vain. Strangely enough, it came from a point not far dis tant from the home. An attendant at a gasoline station in Belvidera told him that he had seen Emil near the corner of East Main and Stan ley streets. He examined the pho tograph of the boy which the fath- CT showed him and was positive that the lad he had seen was Emil. But when he said that he had seen him Friday or Saturday, the father was satisfied that he was in error.
 Mother Seriously Affected
 In the meantime, the Andy home is stunned by the blow which has befallen it. Mrs. Andy has been all most prostrated and spends her time quietly weeping. MT. Andy. a carpenter and member of the union, has abandoned every other interest in the search for his boy He said today that if Emil returns home. he will not be punished or otherwise ill-treated for the sorrow he has brought upon the household.
 Emil wor a brown shirt. brown trousers and brown and white sport shoes when he disappeared. He is about five feet, two inches, tall and weighs about 115 pounds.

EFFORT BEGUN TO SAVE
 GOLD IN SUNKEN SHIP
Divers With Dynamite and Magnets Prepare to Attempt to Secure
 SS,OOO,0OO In Ingots.

Brest. France, Sept. P-A calm sea favored the first salvage opera tions today of the ill-fated Peninsu- lar and Oriental liner Egypt, in the hold of which. 400 feet beneath the waves were gold ingots worth sS,- 100000.
 Early this morning the Italian tug Raffio stood alongside the salvage vessel Artiglio bringing dynamite and powerful electric magnets to break through the steamships steel decks so that divers may penetrate to the purser's strong room where the treasure is believed locked.
 The operation of retrieving the sunken treasure is expected to be a long and delicate one. Swift tidal currents and confuseds eddies make the work of divers dangerous. Right now the best weather of many months prevails and those in charge of the salvage operations hope the work can be finished before the September storms set in.

Hartford, Sept. Pl-Repeal of the 18th amendment was advocated today by President Charles J. Moore in his report made to the 18th an- nual convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor.
 Prohibition" he said, "has failed in every Christian civilized commun- ty in which it has been tried. It cer- tainly has failed in the United States. Each year we find one million peo- pie, or more, convicted of drunken ness. Temperance among the young has disappeared, the government loses annually in revenue hundreds of millions of dollars. Graft and cor ruption are rampant among enforce ment officers. Crime seems to four ish and disrespect for all law ap- pears to be growing"

FILLER BREAKS RECORD
 FOR HOP OVER OCEAN
Coste Makes First Non- Stop West Crossing
 of Atlantic

New York, Sept. 2.-(Pl-When his "?" flew over Cape Canso in Nova Scotia today, Capt. Dieudonne Coste achieved something new in aviation annals-a nonstop flight from continental Europe to conti- mental North America.
 There have been two other sue, cessful westward flights straight across the North Atlantic, but both started in Ireland and landed on is- lands off the American coast. The first was the German expedi- tion in the Bremen. It took off in Ireland and made forced landing on Greeny Island. The other was the Southern Cross, which also started it's ocean hop in Ireland and stopped for fuel in Newfoundland.
 The German. Won Gronau and his mates, who arrived last week in q flying boat also crossed the North Atlantic, but they kept far to the north and made stops in Iceland, Greenland, Labrador and elsewhere along their route.
 Even if Coste and Maurice Bel lonte. his companio should be forced down short of their goal here they still would be credited with the best westward flight ever made across the North Atlantic. for they started in

Employes Not Affected By Depression to Con-
 tnbute From Income for Three Months, Uader Mayors Latest >fIen to Raise Money.
Conference of Department : Heads Called for Thurs day-Several Reported Approving Scheme - School Teachers Would
 ,s
 Be Included in Program.

Every employe in the city gov ernment, including department heads, school teachers, clerks, po- icemen and firemen, will contribute two per cent of their wages during September, October and November to Christmas fund which will be used to aid the unemployed during the winter, if a plan Mayor George A. Quigley is sponsoring is accept ed at a meeting of department heads Thursday morning at 11:30 o'clock
 It is expected that more than 1000 persons will be affected by the plan. This is believed to be the most decisive step taken by Mayor Quigley since he began the work of relieving the unemployed shortly after his inauguration last April. Several months ago city depart ments returned part of their annual appropriations to the general gov- ernment and the Noney received is now in the hands of welfare de- partment officials.
 Asks Finance Board Action
 Mayor Quigley has negotiated with Chairman William H. Judd of the board of finance and taxation and asked him to call a meeting of the board within a few days. It is the mayors intention to ask the boar dto appropriate $100,00o for street repairs through the sale of bonds, This money will be used to replace a similar amount appro- priated by the city government last spring The public works money will be transferred to the welfare de- partment. MT. Quigley explained it is impossible to use the street bond money for charity work but it would be possible to use the board of public works finances.
 Says Dept. Heads Approve
 Before Mayor Quigley decided on the Christmas fund plan he talked with several department heads un- officially and they assured him of their cooperation, he said today. Among those who expressed a will ingness to contribute more than two per cent is Judge Stanley J. Traceski. MT. Quigley explained that only those who have set salar- fes and whose income has not been affected by the business depression would be included. When he was asked what the estimated fund would be, he said he could not be- gin to figure it.
 Under the plan the money will be under the supervision of Miss Cora Beale", Miss Ruth Bristoll and oth- CTS who are on official welfare duty in the city No definite arrangement has been made as yet, the idea being in a tentative state at present, May or Quigley explained.
 Although the plan is referred to as a Christmas fund contribution the money will be used throughout the winter. MT. Quigley expects that in December when the city will begin to discontinue it's street work the money will be distributed.

Chicago, Sept. tR-The senate campaign funds investigating oom- mittee summond before it today the officers and operatives of a Chicago detective agency employed to "sha- dow" its chairman, Senator Gerald P. Nye of. North Dakota.
 This" Senator Nye announced 'is the answer to Ruth Hanna Nc Cormick's question: What is Senator Nye going to do about it'?" The Illinois congresswoman had issued a statement acknowledging that she retained private detectives to inquire into the methods and af- filiations' of the committee chair man.
 Subpoenaes 10 Witnesses
 Senator Nye issued subpoenaes for nine men and a woman, nine of them representing the Dannenbergs ~ De- tective Agency here and the other witness being cashier of the liar ris Trust and Savings bank, sup posedly the agency through which payment was made to the detective bureau.
 Chairman Nye and Senator Por- ter H. Dale of Vermont went into session at the federal building at 10 a. m., announced that an inquiry in- to the 'shadowing" of Senator Nye was their business and awaited the appearance of the witnesses called.
 Subpoenaes were issued for W. c. Dannenberg, manager; John E. Dan nenberg, Earl Dannenberg; Harold Walker, c. Clark Albers, Joe Bum ford, Rose Mauer. Edward Altz and Gordon Hendrics. of the Dannen- berg agency; and the cashier of the Harris Trust & Savings bank, Harry A. Brinkman.
 Only two witnesses were reached by subpoena servers during the morning and after their testimony was taken the committee adjourned its session until mid afternoon.
 During the course of the hearing Senator Dale said the rumors of un- der cover spying had gone so far that the detectives themselves sus- pected they were being watched.
 Tn my opinion" the Vermont senator said, ''all kinds of monkey business in Chicago has been charg- ed against this committee and a great many rumors put out about activities it is alleged to have been engaged in. Mrs. Mccormick says her office has been ransacked and her papers paved over. I think this idea has gone sofar that these detec- tlves believe they are being spied upon. The committee has instructed its employees not to engage in such activities.''
