of the coin saved Mrs. Roberta
Strickland, 40, from suicide.
She was poised on the guard
rail of a thirteen-st Office
building when radio patrolman w.
L. Patterson, summoned by horri-
fed pedestrians, clambered up the
fire escape.
IF you come another step
nearer, III jump the woman
shrilled. My husband is dead
and I'm going to join him"
Patterson's mind worked at a
lightning clip.
why don't you be a good
sport?' he suggested. I'll match
you to see whether you jump or
don't"
Mrs. Strickland hesitated. The
patrolman pulled a quarter from
his pocket. She fumbled in her
purse.
"All right" she assented.
Taking advantage of her search,
Patterson edged toward her. The
woman extracted a half-dollar
just as the officer seized her. The
crowd. far below, cheered.

 Car Had Conn Markers

Providence, R. I. July 13-(UP) At least one victim of last Fri days $224.000 jewel robbery at exclusive Magnolia, Mass, was ex- pected here today to view a lineup containing two suspects arrested last night. Providence authorities emphasized that there was no di- rect evidence to connect either of the men, Joseph Fischer, 32, and Allcot Lepore, 25, with the case. The lineup was arranged, they said, merely as precautionary measure. The two men were arrest ed in one of the city's periodic round ups of suspicious persons.
 Simultaneously, police disclosed that they had traced what they believe was the automobile used by the five unmasked robbers who raided the Magnolia store of Hodg- son, Kennard & Go.

MUCH LIQUOR IS
 BEING STRUGGLED
$5,OOO, 1000 Worth a Month | Is Coming In. So Says | the Report

Washington, July 13-(UP)- The government is losing millions of dollars of revenue through con- tinued wholesale smuggling of for eign liquor.
 One source estimated to-day the loss through tariff evasion runs as high as $5.000.000 a month. With duty of $5 per gallon in effect on foreign distilled liquor. this would mean that 100000 gallons or about 100000 cases are being run into the country monthly. The cost guard. with greatly reduced personnel and equipment. is doing its best to combat smuggling while carrying on its manifold other activities. Officials believe reduction of the tariff would do much to stop smuggling.

Roosevelt in the cruiser Houston veered southward from the course to Hawaii to-day to en- joy days fishing on tiny Cocos Island, legendary cache of pirate gold.

TW0-YEAR-0LD ,-....-. BOY KIDNAPED
 FROM HIS HOME
Little Bobby ConnOr Was Stolen While at Play
 in Back Yard

Hartsdale, N. Y, July 13.-(UP) A call for Boy Scout and volun- teer achievements today sent al- most a thousand searchers through the woods of Westchester county on the trail of missing two-year-old Robert Connor, believed to have been abducted while at play in one of New York city's exclusive suburbs.
 An all-night search which led 500 men through large estates and thorny underbrush of the sur- rounding area yielded only two vague 'clews:
 1-The possibility that a "de- mented peddlar" seized the child about 6 p. m. yesterday while he was playing at his home in Harts- dale Manor.
 2-The possibility that the child was led or carried to a road in the rear of the Connor home, where he was taken into an auto- mobile. This was hinted when two trained dogs followed the child s trail to the road and then circled in confusion.
 Charles Connor, father of the child and an engineer in the em- ploy of the state insurance depart ment, led the search. Shortly after dawn, when the first searching par ties of about 500 came in tired and scratched by underbrush, he said he feared that his son had been Kidnapped.

SCOUTING FLEET ENTERTAINED AT
 PROVINCETOWN
Streets of Fishing Village Swarm With Sailors
 in Navy Blue

Provincetown, Mass, July 13- (UP)-This quiant, historic Cape Cod port, where in 1920 the May flower reputedly first dropped an- chor, was host today to the entire scouting fleet of the U. S. navy.
 In the harbor, beyond the sand dunes at the cape's tip, 1otilla of 32 ships with a personnel of 5000 men rode lazily on the quiet swells
 The narrow, winding streets of the old-world fishing village swarmed with navy blue. Tits white colonial cottages and shops, usu- ally frequented only by sightseers and artists, were crowded with wives, mothers and sweethearts of the sailors and officers.
 Provincetown's population of 4 1000 was increased more than ten fold overnight. Not since 1907 when the white fleet. came here for dedicatio nof the Pilgrim monu- ment had the bunting bedecked port seen such a display of Amer ica's sea strength.
 Today the guns of the armada will roar a 19-gun salute to Gov ernor Ely when he pays an official visit to Vice-Admiral Edward H. Campbell aboard the flagship In- dianapolis to welcome the navy to Massachusetts.
 The sailors revelled in shore lib- etry, danced last night at special pavilion erected for their benefit, or sauntered along the streets. watching curiously the women ar- lists in shorts and beach slacks.
 Tomorrow will be gala day. A parade of the fleet, American Le- zion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and other organizations will be re- viewed by naval lsand civil ,digni- taries. Later there will be a band concert at Town Hall square.

KNEW HOW TO HANDLE
 TOUGH FELLOW
Fought in the Trenches at France and Showed
 HOOdlums the Way

Chicago, July 13-(U.P. .)-Rich-
 ard Johnston is a man who thinks
 that west side gangsters probably are no tougher than men he met on the Mexican border or in the trenches of France. The result Is that Johnston has few rainbow- hued bruises but seven tough guys are in jail and the end is not yet. Johnston. a 55-year-old veteran of Americas last two wars, became embroiled with the gang" which controls his neighborhood when lie surprised four young burglars rob-
 ping store beneath his apartment. With minimum of furore. he cole
 Jared them all and turned them
 over to police. On Monday an ac-
 quaintance approached Johnston. T wouldn't prosecute them," he said. "Somebody said you were zoe ing to be taken for a ride"
 "Who said so?" demanded
 Johnston.
 "I've forgotten" said his friend
 hastily.
 The next day Johnston was met
 outside the criminal court building
 by Carl Bullaro.
 "Lay off, guy", Bullaro warned.
 You're losing your health around here."
 Johnston replied with the dough- boy equivalent of ''fooey' framed inside and helped obtain indict-
 ments of his four captives. Yesterday, following more threats, Bullaro and two other youths leaped upon Johnston near his home. The veteran fought with a weapon of his plasterer's trade, . putty knife. A few minutes later
 Bullaro and his aides had joined
 their four companions in jail. And I'll be there to prosecute
 them," promised Johnston. Those hoodlums have bluffed this neighr borhood for years. All 1t takes to
 wind them up is one witness. I'm
 the man."
