Last year one of the first things the
aged millionaire did upon his arrival
was to take a f1ashlight and go poking
about his gardens, inspecting the work
his servants had done in Strengthening
up the grounds and admiring the trop-
ical plants which were in full bloom.
He is an ardent lover of natural beauty

IS TUGS TOW NEW
 AIRPLANE CARRIER
Giant 6S0 Foot Lexington Safe
 in Hull Bay

Quincy. Mass. Jan. s P-EigI- teen tugs lowed the $50 foot U. S. &. Lexington, the navy's new airplane carrier, safely from the Fore river yard of the Bethlehem Ship Building corporation into Hull Bay today.
 The feat. regarded by naval off ccrs as n difficult navigation prob- lem. was accomplished without inci- dent. except that the Lexington's s overhanging hull squeezed a telc- graph pole near the draw on the Fore river bridge and knocked it over to a +5 degree angle.
 The tugs fixed their lines on the carrier at 1880 o'clock and an hour later had pulled her through the drawbridge. A thousand feet from the bridge there is a sharp angle in tho Hull Bay channel but the tugs navigated the Lexington about the turn easily. Naval officers had con- sidered this the most difficult part of the operation. during which the Lexington was favored by exception al tide and wind conditions.
 At 3 o'clock. in a tide near flood, the Lexington was started for the South Boston drydock. the largest in the world, where she will undergo additional work on her hull and take on equipment and stores. She is expected to be ready for active service on January IS.

TO SPAN ATLANTIC

Frrnch Birdman, Freud of Ltnd-
 bergh, to Attempt Crossing of
 Atlantic.
 1, Villacoublay. France. Jan. 5 R- The first French birdman to try the 'westbound Atlantic flight in 1928 probably will be a pal of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. He is Ser geant De Troyat who is going all alone to pay the Lone Eagle a re- turn visit.
 The sergeant first became ac- quainted with the American flier when Lindbergh made his New York to Paris flight. the sergeant persona ally meeting the American at Le Bourget. Sergeant De Troyat accom- panied Lindbergh on the latter's surprise flight over Paris few days after the landing and the French ilier's acrobatics caused his air com- rade to pay him the highest con- pliments as an aviator.
 De Troyat's plane. an all metallic "Avimeta" is powered by a .3o- horsepower air-cooled Samson motor and has already undergone test flights at Eillacoublay. De Troyat believes that he will be ready when the first settled weather comes. The planes is single-seater, and is something like the famous Spirit of St. Louis in appearance.

CHICAGO SCENTS
 NEW GANG FIGHT
Shooting in Bakery Heard as
 Call to Battle

Chicago. Jan. 5 (UP)-A renewal of Chicago's gang warfare was be- lieved inevitable by police today after last nights shooting in bak- cry owned by the Aiello Brothers, notorious sangsters.
 Police started a roundup of all known gangsters in an effort to avert. the threatening warfare. Emergency squads toured the city in automo- piles all night, arresting known characters.
 Although no one was injured. po- lice said the shooting signified the recently signed truce between the Aiellos and Al Capone, rival faction leader. was over. The truce was reached several weeks ago after an extended series of bombing and kill ings, for control of Chicago's gam bling syndicates.
 Two men with sawed-off shotguns entered the bakery and asked for Dominick Aiello. Upon learning he was absent, the two gangsters emp tied their guns into the wall near where Aiello usually sits They fled in a waiting automobile.
 The bakery. which also serves as headquarters for the Aiello gang, was occupied only by a baker. He dropped to the floor and made no effort to return the fire.
 The bakery has been attacked twice before. each time presaging a new outbreak in the warfare. Last May machine gun attack was made in which more than 200 rounds of bullets were fired into the store. Tony Aiello and Charles Dello, an employc, were wounded.
 In the recent warfare ended by the truce, Al Capone was understood to have agreed not to molest the Aiellos as long as they stayed out of the racket Police believe last nights shooting indicated they had violated the agreement.
