HOLD-UPS STEAL
TAXICABJOYRIDE
Two Men and Three Women
Force Chauffeur to Drive
Them 42 Miles.
Police are searching foi a quintet of
wild and woolly joy riders, three women
- end two men. who, early last night,
held up a baggage company's taxicab
and. at the point of a revolver, forced
t’.ie negro chauffeur, Kenneth Bagnall,
to drive them to Jonesboro and then
back to Atlanta, a total distance of
about 42 miles.
When the taxi reaefied the outskirts
of the city, the joy riders alighted and.
nillngly thanking the chauffeur for the
‘ nice ride." ordered him to "hit the
trail'* and "beat It away a- quickly as
passible." The chauffeur, whose nerves
already were shattered, lost no time in
doing this.
The hold-up occurred in Whitehall
street, near the Central railroad cross
ini. 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,
ard commanded him to halt. As the
ta :i stopped and the hold-up artist
opened the door, another man ami 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 and the two men are ah
described as being neatly dressed and
of good appearance.
When Bagnall brought the ear in, it
anowed it had been on a hard drive, and
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
t he case.

Widow of Trans-Continental Flyer in Atlanta
PLANS AVIATION SCHOOL
If lo<al capital and influence will
support the movement, declares Mrs.
Calbraitl P. Rodgers, widow of the only
aviator to fly from New York to 'Frisco,
Atlanta Boon 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 husband, and which site is now car
rying on. with the assistance of
Chatles 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 1> optimistic over the prospect of
making Atlanta Southern headquarters.
The institution would have not only a
school for mochanit lans and a higher
school for finished aviators, but would
manufacture hydroplanes of the proper
size- for skimming East, Piedmont and
Silver lakes, and 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, she 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 Pome DeLeon. 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 the iron railing in
closing the balcony of the hotel this
morning and told why she stuck to
ai iatlon after her husband's death in an
accident at Long Beach. Cal., last

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1912.
"People just don't understand,” she
declared, "why 1 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 of
giving up their automobiles just be
cause of a smash, and so I < ling 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 that has great possibilities,
even to the point of preventing war. 1
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 gent.lv
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.
