4 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. DR.

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.

"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. BEVERLY WRENN PROMOTED. Beevrly W.
