BOGUS MONEY PLOT CHARGES FACING LEVINE First Atlantic Air Passenger Accused of Attempt to Pass Fake Bills. By United Prrte JERSEY CITY, N. J. Aug 18 A man identified bv police as Charles A Levine, the bald little scrap iron dealer who fled to Germany with Clarence Chamberlain as the first trans-Atlantic airplane paxsenger. was arrested here Thursday on a charge of attempting to pass a counterfeit SIOO gold certificate.

ward R. Stanton at Hoboken, who set hail at .$2 500 Manhattan police were asked to go to an address given by Levine as his residence and search for counterfeit bills. An attendant at that address told the United Press that Levine had not lived there for several months. Fortune From War Salvage Leo Kwiatkowf kl, the ticket agent, said Levine was the man who offered a counterfeit SIOO certificate for a sls commutation book, and hurried away when the authenticity of the bill was questioned, according to Inspector Brady. Brady said Levine told him he was engaged in the iron and steel business in Philadelphia. Levine, once a stable boy. is reputed to have, built up a $3,000,000 fortune by salvaging war materials before he was 30 years old. Then he became air minded. He tried to get Captain Rene Fonck, French ace. and Charles A. Lindbergh to carry him on a transAtlantic flight. Both refused and he bought the moncpianA Columbia. With Chamberlin at the controls and Levine crowded among the gasoline cans in the cockpit, the Columbia crossed from New' York to Kotbus, Germany in 1927. Once Hailed as Hero Chamberlin and Levine toured Europe, hailed as heroes. Once Levine— who never had flown a plane—took the Columbia from Paris to London and made a safe landing. Since his return his career has been a steady procession of legal entanglements. In addition to being defendant in several civil ac- I tions. he was divorerd by his wife, who charged lie deserted her for the company of Mis? Mabel 8011, so-railed ‘ queen of diamonds.”

SKIPPY, MISSED AT POOL.FOUNO Nimble Youngster Now Is Resident of Town in Idaho. To those who have wondered what became of Skippy, the boy who svomed to get more kick out of swimming and diving in Rhodius park pool than any of the other swimmers, The Times today gives the answer. In a letter from his father, William L. Owens. Montpelier. Idaho. The Times learned that Skippy, who Is Harold V. Owens to his parents. is with his mother in Malad, Idaho. Recently a story was printed that the gang at Rhodius pool missed Skippy. He was the favorite last year and many of the guards and children couldn’t understand his sudden disappearance. From his father's letter, however, it appears that Skippy's sudden departure from the city was caused by affairs over which the boy had no control. With Illness in the family and with his own health impaired, the elder Owens says he went west in an attempt to regain his health. The father now is in a civilian conservation corps camp. “Skippy does not have a chance to swim here like he had at Rhodius park," the father wrote. “But his heart is there and if the opportunity ever presents itself well come back to Indianapolis.” BREWERS GET PERMITS Total fop Chicago Area Reach 110; Indiana Is Included.

To date, o< 500 applicants examined by the judge, only two were born in Colorado. Reason for the few native-born applicants is seen in the provision of the law that an applicant must be at least 65 years of age. Sixtyfive years ago—lß6B—there were only a handful of persons in the entire Rocky Mountain district. One applicant is from Nevada, and two or three from Wyoming. Kansas is the native state of a few others. Indiana and Missouri are the native states of most of the applicants.

DURBIN 'INSURGES’ WAY INTO TREASURY BERTH Paves Way for Job by Application of Political ‘Magic/ By Brrippe-Haward .V ncepaptr Atlianre WASHINGTON-. Aug. 18.—W. W. <lt’s-Fun-to-Be-Fooled) Durbin, magician and new register of the treasury, smiles when he recalls how, by the magic of politics, he put one over on his Democratic enemies. “Wild Bill,” as he jocularly is known in his native state of Ohio, performed the somewhat eve-de-ceiving feat of landing the $6,200 treasury job without the blessing of a single "regular” Democrat in Ohio. Here’s how "Wild Bill" did it. Long before 1932 he was a backer of Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency. When the convention came along. "Wild Bill” was made a delegate-at-large and given a half vote. The delegation was pledged to Governor White of Ohio, but no sooner had Bill landed in Chicago than he was seized with the insurgency for which he is famous. He insurged all over. He bolted the delegation and cast his half vote for Mr. Roosevelt. He continued to good-sized theater right at his home in Kenton. O.

Several hundred recruits recently were shown Jewel geyser. Currents in the geyser flow so that handkerchiefs may be thrown in the pool, allowed to sink into the basin, then retrieved after an eruption—thoroughly bleached and cleaned by the hot. mineralized water. Without hesitation, the entire' crew tossed in a large bundle of soiled handkerchiefs while viewing the pool. Out they came, white and clean, a few minuts later. The boys 1 were unanimous in proposing they be permitted to bring all their laundry to the pool. “And boy. oh boy—what I couldn’t do with that geyser in camp,” exclaimed (the camp dishwasher. Rangers, however, immediately squelched all such proposals. Any wholesale use of the pool as a washing machine would clog its • passages and destroy the geyser.
