LARGE AMPH|B|AN
PLANE KEEL LAID
Craft Approved by Lindbergh
to Carry Passengers
to Havana.

Laying of the keel of the first of two
huge amphibian planes, each of which
will carry AZ persons, was started dur
ing the past week at Bridgeport, Conn,
according to reports received here. The
planes, which are to be the world s
largest amphibians and the country s
constructed for the American Air
ways oversee line from Havana to Pan
anna and were approved by Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh, technical adviser to the
air line.
The planes are being constructed at
the Sikorsky plant and will be some
what similar in appearance to the pres
ent Sikorsky twin-engined amphibian.
The new giants, however, each will be
powered with four Pratt and Whitney
Hornets of SIS horsepower each, giving
an anticipated cruising speed Of between
go and 100 miles per hour.
The keel just laid is for a boat hull
So feet 6 inches long and 10 feet
inches in maximum beam. The plane
will have a wing spread of ia feet, the
wing chord being Is feet. The height
OF the plane on wheels will be % feet
IL inches and the length, including tail
surfaces, 70 feet IL inches. Fully loaded,
the plane will weigh IA tons, with use
full load of 1880 pounds. With this
load the top speed is expected to be
129 miles per hour.
The two now being built are to be
used for the transportation of passen-
gers and mail across the Caribbean Sea
in two nonstop flights Of approximate
ly 500 miles each, over the trail recently
blazed by Col Lindbergh. Each plane
will carry "a passengers and 1000
pounds of mail and baggage, or a. pas
sengers and a crew Of S for four hours
cruising.
The $40, as the model will be known,
is a monoplane with the four engines
in line below the leading edge of the
wing and fuel tanks in the wing with
gravity feed. The two planes are to be
completed for delivery late in the year.

SENATORS AGING
VOTING PROBLEM
Others May Follow Lead of
Jones and Walsh on Pro-
hibition Question.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Shall a Senator lead or follow his
constituency? Within the last "a hours
Senator Jones Of Washington, Repub-
lican, and Senator Walsh of Montana,
Democrat have announced that If the
people of their respective States vote by
referendum for repeal or medication of
the eighteenth amendment they will
obey the mandate.
This is the most significant progress
the prohibition issue has made as vet
in the congressional campaign, which is
already under way, and provides con-
Venient strategy for all Republican or
Democratic candidates who them
selves may be dry, but who face wet
constituencies.
Thus, for example, Representative
Ruth Hanna Mccormick, Republican
nominee for the United States Senate
from Illinois, is personally dry and be-
lieves in prohibition, but probably she
will be inclined to accept the referen-
dun method, arguing that prohibition
is not a party question. The fact that
Senator Jones, an outstanding dry, au-
thor of the "five-and-ten" law, recorded
himself publicly as being willing to
abide by a referendum will give the
other Republican dryS much encourage
ment, though the leaders of the dry
cause outside Of Congress are somewhat
uneasy over such tactics, believing it
affords too much aid and comfort to
the wet enemy.
Face Complications.
Elections, however, are only q few
months off and some of these same
dry Senators face all kinds of COM
plications from three-cornered primary
contests to battles with independent
vets or Democratic vets IN the final
contest.
Whatever one may believe on the
merits of prohibition, it has worked its
way this year to an issue of prime
political importance. The vets are
following the group idea and pushing
into various State campaigns with all
the actual and potential threatening
they can do.
Senator Walsh of Montana Is up for
reelection. He will have a Republican
wet in opposition. Senator Jones saw
O Republican State convention take the
wet point of view. He thought 1t was
not representative of the sentiment Of
his State. So he suggested that ref
erendum could tell. He has remarked
since that he is neither urging ref
erendum nor changing his own point OF
view about prohibition. Yet, it amounts
to a challenge to his State to try q
referendum to determine the popular
will, assuming of course. that the ma
nority who vote in elections really re-
Aect popular sentiment.
Torn by Conflicting Desires.
For long time United States Sena-
tors have been torn between conflicting
desires-namely, a feeling that they
should vote their own convictions or
that they should follow the wishes OF
the people of their States. The tendency
lately has been to subordinate personal
conviction and leadership to the will
Of the State as expressed in conventions
or primaries. This is one reason why
80 many congressman, personally wet,
have voted dry. This has attracted q
good deal of attention but only this
week have conspicuous examples been
given Of those who VIII remain per.
sonally dry but who may be compelled
to vote wet.

DEAD WILLIAM FISCHER
 NOT PUTNAM VIM. FISHER

According to an Associated Press dispatch from Providence last Friday, two men fell into the Providence river. One of them, William Fischer, 52, "of Putnam, Conn.," died at the Rhode Island Hospital from immer- sion and exposure. It was said that the man was an employee of the N. Y. N. II. X H. Railroad.
 There is no William Fischer in Put nam. There is a William Fisher, an employee of the N. Y. N. II. & H. Railroad Company. His home IS at 59 Battey street. When a Patriot reporter called there Mrs. Fisher said that her husband was alive and well. He was away at work. She knew nothing about the Providence report but was sure that it was none of her husbands family for they spell their name without the 'c."
 None of the Putnam undertakers had been called to Providence. The police had received no word of a Putnam mans death. It would appear that an error was made and thai Putnam is not the home of the dead man.

Oldest Jewelry Store
 Now in New Quarters
F. X. Lucicr Moves Stock and Fix lures Around the Corner" ".-Larg- CT Store.-More Appropriate
 Surroundings.

The Wednesday after the Fourth of July, 1886. Frank X. Lucier, a Put nam boy, entered the employ of Wright Bros, jewellers, on Union street. He learned the jewellers and watchmaker's trade and continued with the concern until 1895 when the Wright Bros, sold out and the store became the Lueier store. Until the first of June Mir. Lueieg remained in the same store, rounding out forty four years in the same location where he started as young man.
 The Lueier store, which succeeded Wright brothers, continued for the next thirty-tive years in Union street. Close application to business, reliable merchandise and fair dealing made the solid foundation on which the business grew and expanded New lines were added from time to time. ! The business outgrew the store and more room was needed.
 Some weeks ago the Putnam Mu- sic shop on Main street retired from business. Here was the opportunity Mir. Lucier had been waiting for. It afforded larger store and location on Main street. Arrangements were made and Mir. Lueier became the ten ant at the more advantageous loca- ton in the same building as his old store and just around the corner on the citys main thoroughfare.
 On June lst the store that had housed Wright Bros, and subsequent. ly the Lucler store, was abandoned by the concern. The stock and fix lures were removed to the new loca- ton. Not a day was lost. Business was transacted as usual although under somewhat difficult circum' ! stances.
 The stock and fixtures being re. moved to the new store the work of 1 remodeling, redecorating and repaint. ing to suit the needs of the proprietor Frank X. Lucier, went on. The work is now finished. The store is back to normal. The varied lines of watches ] clocks, jewelry, silverware, musical instruments, including pianos, Den nison's products and novelties, are neatly and conveniently displayed. There is one familiar aspect of the new store. Mir. Lucier's work bench is in the window. He is an expert watch and clock repairer. For near " half a century he has been seen at his bench through the large show win- dow in the Union street store. Now he is seen in the same position in the Main street store. While the loca- ton is new one the atmosphere of the store is retained. The only change is a larger, better, more mod ern store in more appropriate sur roundings.
