Members of the detective bureau
were following several promising
clews in connection with the rob-
berry, the scene of which is in the
heart of the business district of the
city, the corner of Bank street and
Harrison avenue, with cops on all
sides. 1t was several minutes, how
ever, after the departure of the
couple that Mr.. Nierenburg dis
covered his loss. 1t was an elapse
of valuable time and gave the
smooth workers time to leave the
building and disappear in the
vicinity Of Exchange place.
Mr.. Nierenburg informed the
police that the two crooks showed
a keen interest in diamond rings
and appeared to be we'll acquainted
with values. They showed splendid
in their examination OF
the valuable trinklets. One of them
succeeded in diverting the attention
of the clerk for few minutes and
a small tray vanished. The couple
excused themselves a few minutes
later. When a check-up was made
of the display of rings the tray
at least rings with pre-
cious stones was discovered miss
ing.
Mr. Nierenburg is not covered by
insurance.

FRENCH FLYER
COSTES TO MAKE
AMAZING DASH
10000 Feet High, 800
Miles an Hour and Will
Speed to New York in
Ten Hours

Paris, Aug. 15-(UP)-Dieudon.
ne Costes, noted French aviator,
is secretary preparing for a fight
to New York at an altitude of 3d.
900 feet, in an endeavor to have
breakfast in Paris and luncheon in
New York, it was learned today.
Cotes, who. made the westward
crossing with Maurice Bellonte
three years ago, plans a speed of
500 miles an hour at the high a1ti-
tude, which would give him q 10
hour crossing. If successful, he
might leave the French capital at
a. M, Paris time, and arrive at
his destination at 1 p. M. New
York time, since he would gain
five hours.
1t is understood that former Air
Minister Painleve originally grant,
ed Costes permission to make a
round-the-world flight with Lieut..
Col. Rene Bouscat, but the aviator
lacked a plan with high compress
sion and a propeller with a variable
pitch.
French airplane builders, how
ever, have been making intensive
experiments with a high altitude
plane, and Cotes hopes to be able
to make his attempt at the stratos-
pheric fight at an early date.
