HOLD-UPS STEAL
TAXICABJOYRIDE
Two Men and Three Women
Force Chauffeur to Drive
Them 42 Miles.
♦
Police are searching for u quintet of
Mid and woolly joy riders, three women
and two men. who, early last night,
held up a baggage company’s taxicab
■ nd. at the point of a revolver, forced
the negro chauffeur, Kenneth Bagnall,
to drive 'them to Jonesboro and then
back to Atlanta, a total distance of
about 42 miles.
When*the taxi reached the outskirts
of the city, the joy riders alighted and.
smilingly thanking the chauffeur for the
‘nice ride.” ordered him to “hit the
trail” and “beat it away as quickly as
possible.” The chauffeur, whose nerves
already were shattered, lost no time in
doing this.
The hold-up occurred ,ln W hitehall
street, near the Central railroad cross
ing. The taxi was returning from West
End at the time. As it sped across the
railroad tracks, one of the men sudden
ly leaped to Its side, covered the driver,
and commanded him to halt. As the
taxi stopped and the hold-up artist
opened the door, another man and the
trio of women hurried from the shad
©v s on the sidewalk and jumped inside.
All Neatly Dressed.
"Old sport, take us to Jonesboro, and
no fooling about it. either." remarked
joy rider No. 1. as he again exhibited his
pistol to the frightened chauffeur. And
to Jonesboro they speeded.
The women ami the two men ate all
described as being neatly dressed and
of good appearance.
When Bagnall brought the ear in. It
showed it had been on a hard drive, ami
It was at first thought the chauffeur
hid been doing a little joy riding on
his own hook, as a result of which a
case was made against him. When the
facts of the hold-up developed today,
however, Recorder Broyles dismissed
the case.

Widow of Trans-Continental Flyer in Atlanta
PLANS AVIATION SCHOOL
If local capital ahd influence will
support the movement, declares Mrs.
' 'albraith I’. Rodgers, widow of the only
aviator to fly from New York to 'Frisco,
Atlanta soon will have an aviation
school which will take its rank among
the foremost institutions of the kind
in this country.
Mrs. Rodgers is at the Majestic hotel
in the interest of a plan outlined by
her husbantj, and which she is now car
rying on. with the assistance of
t’harles Wiggins, the Atlanta boy
Wright flyer: Beryl Williams, a Curtiss
pupil, and Eugene Savage, a parachute
Jumper. Sites for the location of the
plant have been looked over, and busi
ness leaders consulted, and Mrs. Rodg
ers Is optimistic over the prospect of
making Atlanta Southern headquarters.
The Institution would have not only a
school for mechanicians and a higher
school for finished aviators, but would
manufacture hydroplanes of the proper
size for skimming East. Piedmont and
Silver lakes, and make three or four
types of flying machines in which At
lanta society leaders, men and women,
can get thrills that they have never
had before. “The establishment will be
an eye opener," declares Mrs. Rodgers,
but beyond this she won't say, because
It’s entirely too early to talk definite
plans. If Atlanta people want a flying
school, site declares, they can certainly
get It by .showing their interest. Mrs.
Rodgers and Mr. Wiggins will give ex
hibition flights tomorrow afternoon and
Friday at Ponce Delaton. That is. Mr.
Wiggins will, and maybe Mrs. Rodgers
will consent to go up if the weather is
fair enough. ‘
Fond of Flying.
Mrs. Rodgers sat alternately on the
arm of a chair and lite iron railing in
closing the balcohy of the hotel this
morning and told why she stuck to
aviation after Iter husband’s death in an
accident at Long Beach. Cal., last
year

"People just don't understand." she
declared, “why J keep up my interest in
a sport which has brought so much
sadness to me. Well, I can’t see why I
should not. They wouldn’t think ot
giving up their automobiles just be
cause of a smash, and so I cling to fly
ing as a profession, my life work, the
only thing now that I can find satis
faction in. I called it sport, but it isn’t
that. It is more; it is a profession; and
I am doing all I can to discourage the
public's view that flying should be con
sidered as a joke, like a circus. It is a
science tli'at has great possibilities,
even to the point of preventing war. I
am very fond of the automobile, but
the flying machine has it beaten in
many ways. I was afraid to fly at
first, but my husband persuaded me,
and I never tired after that. Os course,
I preferred to fly with him, and prac
tically' never flew alone, and I became
so fond of it that-he declared I would
soon be doing all the flying for the
family.
“The first question people ask me is
how it feels to be a 'bird.' The com
mon misconception is that it is the
same as traveling fast in an elevator,
but that is not true. It feels like the
heaving of a great ship in a gently
rolling sea ”
Her husband was killed in a 175-foot
fall, she said, after flying into a flock
of seagulls. A gull shot into the steer
ing gear, broke it, and the machine
fell heavily to the ground with the un
fortunate aviator.

ERSKINE FOUNTAIN IS
SAVED TO PEACHTREE
BY RULING OF MAYOR
City Attorney James L. Mayson has
ruled that the city would violate a moral
and legal contract in moving the Judge
William Erskine memorial fountain from
the plat at the junction of Peachtree and
West Peachtree streets. It is expected
that the park board at its meeting this
afternoon will rescind its former resolu
tion providing that the fountain be moved
to Hrant park.
City Atorney Mayson said the plat
of ground and the fountain were donated
to the city for a specific purpose and
that the city could not change that pur
pose.
It is reported that a prominent real
estate operator was ready to offer 110,000
for the plat. The legal opinion kills this
