CLAIMS "MONEY BACK"

Buffalo, N. Y, April 2l (UP)-A claim for the return of the price of a ticket to play golf at Grover Cleveland park here, is on, file with the claims committee of the city council. It is one of the smallest claims ever filed against the city. &C., cording to officials.
 About a year and half ago, Ro- man F. SchWindeman bought four golf tickets for himself and his friends. The latter failed to show up, so there was no game.
 Recently Schwindeman wrote to James P. Moore, then park com- missioner. asking for the return of his money. He was directed to file a claim.
 He did.

|GRAHAM FAVORED IN FRIDAY BOUT
Home Town Fans Think Rat.
 talinO Will Be Defeated

Hartford, April o1.-There is the unusual situation in Hartford right now of a champions home town strongly of the opinion that said champion is about to take the short end of an important ring battle.
 Bat Battalino is this champion in question and heavy majority of Hartford fans believe that Bushy Graham, the Utica Ghost, will beat Bat when they come together up in the big state armory Friday night of this week.
 Graham is the favorite in the bet ting, though those who are taking Battalino find it hard, as is always the case to get any real odds.
 The Utica battler's form in his de- feat of Al Rackow at Foot Guard hall last winter, made a great inn pression on Hartford fandom. He'll beat Battalino," was the general comment of the fans as they filed out of the hall that night and up went the cry for Graham bout.
 Promoter Ed Hurley, who has a sensitive ear for public sentiment as all promoters should, went right to work on this match, but he had a real struggle to get Grahams name to a contract. Not that Bushy didn't want the bout. He was all for it, but he, too. knew of the clamor for it in Hartford and his demands were beyond the figure that Hurley felt he could pay.
 Graham laughed at the offer of s3,500, with a privilege of 22 1-2 per cent of the net gate; he wanted $500 with a 30 per cent privilege,
 There were telephone calls, ex- change of telegrams and letters and finally Graham signed for a flat guarantee of s5,00o. It will be the first time that a battler has come into Connecticut ring against Bat talino on a guarantee: they have always been in there on a percent age basis.
 Graham has been one of the busiest boxers in the game and has reaped the harvest. His two knock downs of Chocolate at the Coli. scum In New York year ago gave him wide publicity even though he | lost the bout on a foul and ever since then he has been boxing two and three times month and has drawn out great galleries. He sci m a new indoor rcceiptS record in Cincinnati few weeks ago when he decisively defeated the Cincy favor | ite. Freddy Miller.
 Bushy boxes bantams or feather weights. He can move above or below 12e pounds with rare facility and is strong and fast at whatever weight the occasion requires.
 The Utica boy arrived in Hartford Sunday and today is having his first workout at the St. Nicholas gym where Battalino, too, is doing his indoor training.
 Both are out on the road each morning. Bat runs out Bloomfield way while Bushy elects the road that stretches in the direction of Springfield.
 The weekend saw a tremendous sale. It appears that Promoter Hurley's prediction of a s30,000 gate will not be disproven.

Tomorrow night, basketball bat tie will be staged at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium in this city to decide
 which of two teams will enter the final game in the tournament that will decide the championship among church teams for the state. The two principals In the drama will be the First Lutheran quintet of this city and the Central Baptist combi- nation of Hartford.
 As the winner of the home and home series arranged between the two will be decided on a total point basis, the New Britain team goes in- to the second game a heavy favor ite.
 New Britain scored a 23 to II victory over the Hartford aggrega- tion last Thursday night in Hartford. This gives the Hardware City combi- nation a siX-point edge and it will be necessary for the Hartford team to wipe this out in order to go into the final battle which will be staged some time next week. Hartford clearly outplayed the To- cal team in the first half of last Thursdays contest but New Britain staged a winning rally in the final two quarters. The Capital City com bination will be at it's strongest for tomorrow nights game while New Britain will send in its champion ship lineup.
 There will be a preliminary game between the Lutheran Juniors and some local junior team. This game will start at 7:45 o'clock with the main contest getting under way at |S:300 o'clock

FIND SUNkEN SHIP

Divers Locate Treasure Yes
sci After Long Search
Off French Cape.
BY DAVID SCOTT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ABOARD SALVAGE SHIP AR
TIGLIo, OFF CAPE FINIsTERRE,
France, September Lying on gray
sand 400 feet beneath the surface of
the Atlantic the wreck of the PENN
Sular & Oriental liner Egypt, with
$4,000, 900 of gold and silver in her hull,
was identified today by Italian divers.
A waving jungle Of seaweed blurred
the outlines of the sunken treasure
ship and a cloak of brown vegetation
covered the hull: the external fittings
were gone and tangle of splintered
wood and broken cables covered the
decks. After days of undersea search,
however, there could be no doubt that
the wreck on the ocean floor was the
liner which sank in a collision in 1922,
carrying tons of gold and IS tons Of
silver with 1t.
Hunted for Six Months.
After six months of hsart-breaking
search one of the richest wrecks of
modern times has been found, and the
first stage has been completed of the
most dificult piece of marine salvage
ever attempted. The sunken vessel is
standing keel upright among scattered
rocks at latitude 48 degrees minutes
NJ, 5 degrees 80 minutes W., about IS
miles southwest of the Island of Ushant
and 80 miles of Point du Raj. The
wreck is lying ! mile from the point

who searched for 1t in 1916.
1t is almost impossible to see on the
bottom, perhaps because the strong
tides of the last few days had troubled
the waters. At first the divers could
not tell whether they were seeing the
fore or after part of the ship. In the
end 1t was seven hydraulic cranes, a
type which the Egypt carried, but
which are no longer used on ships,
which gave up the oceans secret. The
divers saw the cranes several times and
also watertankS, insulators and sky
lights which correspond to those on the
Egypt's plans.
It was a week ago that the wreck was
first located, but not until today were
the divers certain it was the Egypt.
The first descent was made by Alberto
Bargellini youngest of the Artiglio's
divers, after a night of thick fog. with
the foghorns moaning necessarily on
gray green ocean.
Diver Descends in Haste.
When the salvage ship arrived at
the buoys the tide was slack and there
was no time to lose. In less than half
an hour the ship was moored and
Signor Bargellini plunged 400 feet to
the ocean floor in his steel shell.
On deck his mates crowded around
the telephone and watched anxiously as

most of the time. We intend to ny
high and plan to have reached q con-
siderable height when We start across
the ocean. Probably we will not be
sighted at all until we are in touch with
the American coast. However, we hope
we will be in constant communication
by wireless.
We hope to reach New York within
As hours from the time we take on, but
our flying time, of course, will depend
on wind resistance. We may get there
even sooner, for our plane has qualities
of speed which are remarkable.
We have been planning this flight for
three years, and though our attempt
last year was not successful, we have
proven that our Breguet plane Is worthy
of our utmost confidence. We intend
to succeed, but also, I'd like to say, we
will not be afraid to turn back II, as
last year. We find We cannot do 1t. We
will just try again.
1t Is over three years since Col. Lind.

We intend this time to return his visit.
Just before the departure this morn

test and only one alteration was made
to the plane. Two small reservoirs.
which were attached to the lower plane
of the machine, were removed, as we
decided that with the favorable wealth.

amount of fuel and it would be better
to save weight. During the night every
detail OF our plane was gone over care-

Tossing a 800 bill to q driver and
cautioning him to keep his mouth
shut, two men, said TO be employees of
the Southern Diaries; Inc, escaped last
night after they are declared to have
taken approximately $4,000 from the

, Police were searching today for the
two men.
Detectives were told by William j.
Whalen, driver for the company, that
the two men came to the companyS
ONCE last night shortly after 10 o'clock
and told the night Waterman they
wanted to get some of their personal
belongings. Both men, he said, ap-
peared to have been drinking.
They were admitted by the watch
man, he told police, and went directly
to the ONCE in which the safe Is kept.
Some is minutes later they came out
and started away.
According to Whalen, one OF the men
tossed him 100-dollar bill as the
other cautioned him: IF you open your
mouth, I'll get you"
They drove off in an automobile.
Headquarters Detectives L. M. VIII
son and Thomas Nally went to their
homes this morning, but were told that
the men had not been there last night.
Officials of the company refused to
discuss the robbery with newspaper
men, but told police that the money
stolen represented collections for Sat-
urday and Sunday. One OF the men
sought, they said, knew the combina-
ton to the safe.
Whalen went out with detectives to
patrol the city in search Of the two
suspects.

Cameron, a member of the Faith

other Americans were taken aboard the

Wireless advices said the situation re-
manned uncertain, with machine gun
and cannon fire going on outside the
walls and q, Communist army deployed

The arrival of additional government
troops was reported. making the total
defense force in the Human capital
about $1,000. Due to the increase in
defense forces. Red attack was con-
sidered unlikely for the present, al
though the loyalty Of many government
soldiers was regarded as questionable.
Military authorities thought. however,
the Reds might feint an attack to con-
ceal other operations. Other Red
groups. meanwhile, were rowing over
portions Of Human and Kiangsi Prov

The following dlspatcn from Capt.
fore his departure from Paris.
BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, September I've are start
ing out this morning, Bellonte and !,
to try to fly the Atlantic from East to
West. 1t is our second attempt, and in
that we have been lucky, for we are
almost the only ones of those who have
started from this side who have been
permitted to have second chance.
Last year. in July, we were forced
back when we were north OF the Azores
by head winds which reduced our flying
speed so much that we could not hope
to cover the whole course with our fuel
supply. We made that flight long
enough to cover the whole distance II
we had had fair weather. This time
we are promised that we will have fair
weather almost the whole way, per-
haps ali of it, and we have, too, more
powerful Hispano engine and larger
fuel supply.
For us the most nervous moment Will
be when we take-off from lie Bourget
We have tested our plane and have the
most complete confidence in its capac-
tiles. It Is q wonderful machine. We
have worked on 1t for months and are
perfectly confident that 1t will lift its
great weight in the air.
Once we are of, We are going to
make our course according to the route
laid out for us by the Weather Bureau.
That probably win be across the west
ern end of the English Channel. We
will ny northwest until we are about
third OF the way up the western coast
Of Ireland, when We win head across

M, Codes, q flying companion OF
commercial flying days, went up and
surveyed part of the route to Cherbourg.
He returned and forecast an improve
ment soon. After conference with
weather oficials Coste changed his
further improvement in the weather,
took of.
Due Mt Shutdown Tomorrow.
There lay ahead of him trip in
excess of 3,7OO miles, which he should
traverse at an average speed Of 100
miles an hour. This would put him In
New York about shutdown TUESDAY:
Should he succeed in his flight he Will
he the first East-West transatlantic
flyer to land In New York without q
prior stop.
He charted his route as over South
western England and Ireland and
thence over the great circle. He ex-
pected to have a wind behind him dur
ing the first part of his journey. Last
year when attempting the same feat
he finally had to turn back when he
encountered what he called a wall OF
wind"
Coste got the big red plane into the
air after a comparatively short run OF
500 meters. The plane weighed seven
.,
said, to carry him 5000 miles in favor
able weather. He said he expected to
reach New York in IS hours although
well able to stay up over SO hours, as
he did last year when establishing the
world long distance record by hying
from France to TsitSihar, Manchurta.
The plane reached the end Of the
field at an altitude Of 100 feet. Coste
put its nose northward first and soon
disappeared His last gesture was to
wave at his wife. She continued waving
for several minutes after he was out
of sight.
The plane, with "2" on its side. is
a Breguet which Coste has flown for
years. 1t is sesqui-plane, with
single Hispano Suiza motor.
Wife Is Pale at Parting.
Capt. Coste, just before getting into
his plane to take of, posed for photo,
graphs. shook hands with several friends
and fondly kissed his wife goodbye.
She appeared under deep emotion and
her face was very pale as she patted
her husbands shoulder and wished him
luck On her white hat was a big red
question mark.
Coste got into his plane, and rising
in its cockpit said in French to the few
hundred people assembled around him:
THANK you for coming. We hope all
will go we'll and we hope to have better
weather at the finish than at the start"
Codes escorted Coste in another
plane. Returning to LIE Bourget at
1885 am, he said the aviator waved
goodbye 10 miles north of lie Bourget
and signaled that all was well. Codos
said that the first few miles OF the
