4 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. DR.

It is well worth reading 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.

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. BEVERLY WRENN PROMOTED. Beevrly W.
