"Voice of the Sky"
Soon To Be Heard
1 looming down from a height of
2,500 feet, the "Voice of the Sky"
will entertain the people of this city.
This marks the first appearance in
this vicinity of the ingenious invention
which has startled cities from
coast to coast. A giant* tri-motored
plan** will soar overhead. Suddenly
behirul the doOr to the pilot's compartment
then into the reproducers
and out through the huge horns.
There are thro? of these immense
horns, located on one side of the
plane where the seats are- ordinarily
placed. Their flared mouths open on
the underside of the fuselage. Each
horn is equipped with nine of the
world's most powerful sound reproducing
units; making a totui of 27.
Four small short biaded propellors
provide all the power for generating
c-j
it will como to life. Snatches of music,
hearty humfin laughter; crisp sentences
will bo plainly heard by the
people in the street, in offices, factories
and homes.
This is the ItVoice of the Sky," a
tremendously amplified broadcast
from the heavens. The announcer
sits in a tiny onhin in the plane which
is heavily insulated to shut out the
roar of the engines. He apeaks softly
into the microphone and his words
travel along a wire through the amplyfing
sets which are loeated just
1 ,r . ; _->j
the 2500 watts of current necessary
for operating: the mechanism.
The "Voice of the Sky" is a development
of many years of research
and experiment, It is to make a tour
of the Carolinas in connection with
a gig-antic advertising program of
the Puro Oil Company in behalf of
its products, Purol Pep gasoline, Tiolene
motor oil, and others, and is
scheduled to be in Camden at an early
date. Puro Oil products are distributed
in Camden by the Carolina
Motor Company.
Ralph Capone, elder brother of

Confession Made
By Boston Killer
3 Boston, Feb. 28.?The most astounding
confession ever made to
Massachusetts police was related,
State Detective John F. Stokes announced,
by Abraham M. Faber, university
graduate held \y\ the slaying
of two Needham policemen.
Police said it involved fche Millen
brothers, Irving and Milton, in a series
of holdups and slayings gigantic
in scope.
The confession, as related by state
detectives, accounted, they said, for
four slayings, theater and bank robberies,
theft9 from a state police exhibit
at the Boston auto show and
attempts to secure weapons from
greater Boston armories.
It would challenge belief police say,
except that they have checked many
of its details and declare them to be
true.
They confessed yesterday, state
police said, to (State Detectives
Stokes, Joseph L. Ferrari and Mi- ]
chael Fleming.
The confession freed Louis Berrett
and Clement Molway, Boston (taxi
drivers who have, been on trial in
Salem superior .court for the slaying
of a bill poster during a holdup -at
the Paramount theater in Lynn.
Greenville's Bloody Record
That was a sad and bitter dose of
information that Cy Mitchell served
up to the readers of this newspaper
yesterday.
In 1933, ..his research showed,
Greater London with its population
of twelve millions had a total of
twenty-one murders.
In the same year Greenville county
with a population of one hundred and
seventeen * thousand, had forty-four
murders.
Of London's twenty-one murderers,
nineteen were hanged and one committed
suicide. The remaining case
is not yet cleared up.
Not one person connected with
Greenville's forty-four homicides has
yet forfeited his life to the State.
Several have been sentenced and
eighteen cases are yet to be disposed
of. .
A sad and bitter dose, yes, and ib
ought to be a challenging one. The
shame of it should arouse every
Greenville citizen, every South Caro^
linian (the record of the State is
similar to the record of Greenville).
?Greenville Piedmont.
W. T. Smith, proprietor of a small
restaurant at Oklahorrfa Cit/, Okln.,
unable to pay his taxes of $9.88, tendered
to the county tax collector two
$5 meal tickets in payment of his
taxes. The tickets were returned to
Smith.
- The funeral of the iate John McGraw,
for years manager of the Now
York Giants, and one of the most
popular men in baseball, was held
Wednesday at Pelham, N. Y.f with
thousand* of admirers attending the
services. They came from all walks
of life.
Emergency relief funds were sent
from Richmond to Buchanan county,
southwest Virginia,, to aid Bnowboundl
mountaineers in their desolate cabins,
who were threatened with-famine because
of feeinjy shtrt in by the snowstorms
prevailing in that Section.
Police of Buenos Aires raided a
bank there Tuesday and arrested all
the clerks, but found all of the directors
and two executives missing alongwith
4,000,000 pesos (approximately
$1.250,000). . In the strong boxes
were exactly 96 pesos ($32).
Approximately one but of every 20
Americans is on federal pay roll. -
Boy Shoots Sheriff
When Bomb Fails
Springfield, Mass., Feb. 28.?Incensed
when a bomb containing two
sticks of dynamite failed to explode
after he had hurled it at the feet of
Deputy Sheriff David J. Manrfihg in
superior court late today, John Kaminski,
18, of New Britain, Conn., shot
the sheriff ip the leg.
Overpowered by deputy sheriffs
and stripped of his clothing, Kaminwas
found to have two other
crudely constructed bombs, two pistols
and two knives in his possession. He
wore a steel vest.
Court had just adjourned for the
day after the trial of Kaminski's
brother, Alexander, and l'aul War go,
of Wallingford, Conn., for the murder
of a jail guard when John Kum
inski strode down through the room.
The crowd of more than 100 .spectators
was moving toward the exits and
Sheriff Manning was returning after
having escorted Judge Nelson I*.
Hrown to the lobby.
Confronting Manning about 10 feet
in front of the dock in which his
brother and Wargo sat, Kaminski exchanged
words with the official.
Quickly he pushed a paper-w rapped
package at the sheriff's feet. A percussion
vhp exploded with a weak
report,- ' *
Manning pushed the youth into a
seat and before he could act further,
the boy whipped out a pistol and fired.
So qftickly did the action occur that
it was not until Manning reached a
hospital that court attaches realized
that it was a bullet wound a?1U not
a fragment from the bomb that had
wounded him. Physicians said it was
gi , ;-jLUjaim J
merely a flesh wound and Manning
was allowed to go to his homo later.
Kaminski was taken to the police
station.
The trial of Alexander Kaminski!
and Wargo was for the fatal beating j
last October of Morritt W. llayde,
a Springfield jail guard, as they fled
from that institution. Kaminski was
arrested in Lynchburg, Va., for breaking
into a store and eventually returned
hero.
The senate on Tuesday added another
estimated 55,000,000 for World
war veterans to the independent office
bill. It is estimated that 20,000 veterans
whose disabilities are presumed
to be service origin, taken off the
pension lists, will be restored if the
bill finally becomes law.
Levi Hessley; 85, member of the
police force of Valdosta, Oa., for 51
years, j is dead.
