who feared that such drastic action
might provoke still greater violence.

Curtius aroused concern today.
The government received an
anonymous letter threatening that
neither Bruening nor Curtius, who
have been in Rome comforting with
Italian government leaders, would
return to Berlin alive.

HOLTYILLE MAN
DIES SUDDENLY
IN AUTO CRASH

One dead and two so seriously in
1ured that the death list may be in
creased to two, is the result of an
automobile crash a mile west of

unable to do so, the car crashing in
to the rear end OF the truck with
terrific force.
Coroner A. r. Underwood stated
today that the entire top of the car
was sheared off by the body of the

partly conscious but Fleming was
unconscious.

YANKEE FLYER
FEARED LOST IN
NORTHERN AREA

OSLO, Norway, Aug. 10. (U.P)-
Inquiries along the south coast of
Norway today failed to elicit any
trace whatever of Parker D. Cram
er, American flyer, long overdue at
Copenhagen on the last lap of a
transatlantic flight.
Anxiety grew throughout Scan
dinavia as hours passed and no
word of the flyer was heard.
Cramer, with his radio operator,
Oliver Pacquette, a Canadian sur
veying an air mail route linking
America and Europe, reported by
radio at 1915 p. m. yesterday (6:15
a. m. ES1) that they were fighting
a bad storm.
There was a possibility that they
had come down off some sparsely
settled section of Norway, and that
their radio sending equipment had
been damaged, making it impOSsl-
BILE for them to communicate.
Cramer, who began the flight
from Detroit without fanfare or
publicity of any sort on July II,
landed in Greenland last week be-
fore news of his plans was broad
cast to the world. He made the in
itial and most hazardous stages Of
the flight without incident.
He was forced to land at sea,
| however, after leaving Iceland last
Friday, but after making minor re-
pairs continued to Sydero.
OSLO, Norway, Aug. TO- tUP)-
Captain Riser Larsen, famous Nor
wegian aviator and explorer and
chief of the air force at Bergen, was
ready today to begin a search for
Parker D. Cramer, missing Ameri-
can aviator.
Captain Larsen reported that two
airplaneS were ready to start to
| Cramer'S relief as soon as a storm
in the Bergen region moderated
and the pilots had any information
regarding his possible whereabouts.
It was believed here that Cramer.
long overdue at Copenhagen on the
last lap of a trans-A Atlantic flight,
was drifting toward Denmark.
TOXIC, Aug. 10. U.P) - With
American aviatorS holding the CEN
ter of all interest of Pacific nations,
the Japanese Aviation society today
took steps to encourage members
of its race to span the Pacific. A
prize of 100000 yen, approximately
$50,000, for the first Japanese to
make a successful nonstop flight
over the ocean was announced.
Previous prizes offered on both
sides CT the Pacific were open to
members of any race.
MARSEILLES, France, Aug. 10.
tU.P)-Russell Boardman and John
Polando, American transatlantic
flyers, were here today after a non :
stop flight from Istanbul, Turkey
They are going home on an ocean
liner.
They landed in their monoplane
Cape Cod on their way back to the
United States, covering the 1900
miles over Greece and Italy at an
average speed of 100 miles an hour.
The flyers, whose New York-to-
Istanbul flight set new world flight
distance record, had planned to fly
to Calcutta, India. and thence to
Japan. They cancelled the plan at
the last minute.

 Detectives had boarded the Paris before the ship docked. They went directly to Miss Guinan's room and advised her that the ministry of in- terior had withdrawn its landing per mission.
