Fadden were well known to police
as beer runners and ''racketeers.
Taylor Counting Cash
The shooting of Taylor was al
most as spectacular. A bandit sat
in seat OF moving picture the
ater and suddenly pressed re-
volver into the side of Mrs. Lillion
Lee, theater organist.
Take me upstairs to the office
or I'll kill you" he whispered. She
complied. Taylor was counting
about $4,000. He lunged at the
bandit and in the struggle he was
shot and seriously wounded. Patrons
of the theater rushed panic-stricken
from the doors. The automobile
carrying Taylor to a hospital col
lided with another. Taylor was
dead when taken from the wreck
age.
Splady was shot and killed In an
automobile chase OF over 100 miles
on Illinois and Indiana highways.
He was shot by detectives as he sat
at the wheel of an automobile. His
companions. Alexander Philips, II,
and Herman PIuda 1S, OF Chicago,
then surrendered.
McGovern had a long record as
beer runner and racketeer. Nc
Fadden too, police say, had been
identified as a member of various
"back of the yards" beer running
gangs.
''SlOw on the Draw"
The victims, with two male COM
panions, were seated at a table in
the center of the cafe, according to
witnesses. Suddenly they began to
argue loudly. A moment later all
four. with drawn revolvers. were
firing point blank at one another.
McGovern and his companions
were a little slow on the draw, one
witness said.
1t was nearing the cafes clos
ing hour and only a few stragglers
were in the place when the shoot.
ing occurred.
According to Sergeant Sullivan's
version of the affray. he was about
to enter the cafe in the course of
duty when he heard the bullets sing
out. AS he flung the door open he
saw Mahoney backing out with an
automatic in his hand.
Drop it or Ill kill YOU" the
detective shouted, hurting himself
at Mahoney. The latter fell to the
floor as fleeing men and women
surged over him in a mad flight for
the exit.
II disarmed Mahoney after the
stampede was over and got two men
to hold him while / went over to
where l saw two bodies prone on
the floor" said the detective. II
recognized McGovern and McFadden.
Thirty walters and other employees
of the cafe were taken to police
headquarters as material witnesses.
Practically all of the guests fled
during the excitement.
The body of a well.dressed man
found in the ditch beside Brown
Road, three miles south Of Chicago
Heights, ON August 13, was first
thought to be McGovern, but he
later turned up alive.
In Auto Crash
Ealier in the year. on May Is,
McGovern was found unconscious
in his automobile, which had run
into a telephone post. Beside him
was the body of young married
woman, Mrs. Julia Corbett.
From pocketbook found in the
rear of the auto. and other infor-
| nation, police deduced that Me-
Govern. Daniel Stanton, well-known
| South Side bootlegger, and two
women had been out on party.
Up to July, 1928, McGovern had
been arrested eight times since
l1922.

& BANDITS GET
AUTOS AND
CASH

Three pistol wielders who perpe-
trated two bold robberies Of autoTno-
biles and cash on roads leading to
washington early yesterday proved
today to be as elusive as they are
daring.
AS the hours passed, police Of
adjoining states as well as the Dis
trict, were unsuccessful in their
widespread search for the hold'up
men.
"stick 'em up. fellow"
Those were the words Steve
O'Donnell, New York Jockey,
obeyed when a revolver was showed
into his ribs by a lone "hitch-hiker
he had befriended. The racetracK
rider was in the act of returning to
the wheel of his car after examin-
ing his gasoline supply on the De-
tense Highway when his passenger
turned robber.
Obtains $3.50
The tshitch .hiker'' went through
O,Donnell's pockets in short order
as though such an act was no new
experience to him. He obtained
$3.50 and a valuable watch.
Forcing the jockey to stand on
the far side of the road with his
hands hoisted above. the highway
man turned O'Donnel's machine
around and disappeared in cloud
of dust in the direction of Baltimore.
Penniless and without his auto
mobile, O'Donnell was forced TO
bum a ride to Washington. He
then reported the theft to police OF
the Ninth Precinct.
Taxi Driver Is Victim
The other hold-up occurred near
the Catholic University. Ray III.
Shields, of the $500 block Thirteenth
st. N. W., was the victim. Shields
a taxi-cab driver, had just permit
ted a passenger to alight from his
automobile when two men shouted
for him to stop.
Thinking he was in luck, Shields
jammed on his brakes to accommo-
date his passengers"
Instead he soon found himself
looking into the shiny barrels OF TWO
pistols.
Hold 'em up and don't give us
any back talk" one of the men or
dered. The taxicab driver oDeyeo.
All his cash-$S--was stolen.
Take Cab, Too
When his pockets had been rifled,
Shields thought for a moment that
he would be permitted to drive away.
He guessed wrong, however, for he
was elected from the cab with
push and kick or two. The un-
masked bandits then drove merrily
away.

This will be an actuality in the
comparatively near future When
conjunctive service of fast steam
ships and airplanes is inaugurated'
it was predicted in an exclusive
interview today by Laurence n.
Wilder, one of Americas most
prominent shipbuilders.
Mr.. Wilder is chairman of the
Transoceanic Corporation OF the
United States and head of the
New York Shipbuilding Corporation.
Combination Service
"Super-liners built for speed and
comfort will make New York to
southampton. England. in four days
flat" he said. They will he of A
new design. with flat tops that will
enable airplanes-and even a dirig-
ible-to land upon and take off
from.
People who want to cross the
ocean quicker than the four-day
ship time can use the conductive
service"-that is utilize the air.
plane as well as theh steamship.
Seated at his desk in his office
of the twenty-eighth floor of a New
York skyscraper. Mr.. Wilder out
lined his conception of European
travel of the future.
speed is the primary demand OF
travel today and the ocean liner 0t
the future will be just as important
an adjunct of transatlantic air
travel as the landing field is at
present." he said.
From the earliest days of trans
pOrtation, passengers, mail and
valuable cargo sought the fastest
means of transportation, regardless
of cost of his transporta ton.
"As proof of the demand for
faster transportation, nearly 80 per
cent of through passengers between
New York Chicago and points be-
yond, in both directions, pay ex-
cess fare for a shorter time n
transit.
Our proposed ship-and-a irplane
service to Europe is every bit as
practical as the rail-and-airplane
service from New York to Los
Angeles which proposes to cut
down travel time from coast TO
coast to two days.
Il think the four-day liner will
come soon-that is, fast ships of an
entirely new design that will make
dock to dock, New York to South
ampton. England, in four days and
on regular schedule.
Our company is now contem-
plating the building of six of these
ships. They will all be equipped
with airplane landing space
Taking a sheet of paper, Mr..
Wilder drew a diagram showing
how passengers wanting to get to
Europe in hurry could get there
in less than two days and a half.
Beats Even that Record
Say we have five of these speedy
ships plying between New York and
Southampton. A passenger in New
York wants to get to Europe
quickly. He looks at the schedule

Explains Landings
: Mr.. Wilder said that properly
built super-ships such as he out
lined for four.day service would he
perfectly o. K. for landings and
take-offs.
A plane can be stopped within a
distance of 2Ofeet atop such ships
because the plane and ship are NOV
ing in the same direction at the time
of the landing. On land, planes run
1000 feet or whereabouts before COM
ing to a stop.
Four thousand successful landings
were made on the s. s. Saratoga,
which Mr.. Wilder recently turned
over to the United States Govern
ment. Not only that. but a dirigible-
the Los Angeles--was landed on the
Saratoga few months ago to prove,
he said. that fuel and supplies could
be landed and passengers exchanged.
How many planes will these four.
day ships be able to carry?" he was
asked.
Carries 100 Planes
1.-THE normal complement Of the
Saratoga is 100 planes" he replied.
These ships will be somewhat
larger"
He asserted that the sea flights of
the proposed ship-and -airplane serv-
ice would be only 1000 miles, the
same distance as the New York-to-
Chicago air mail flights.
Ninety-nine per cent of these air
mail flights were completed in 1927,
he pointed out. Flying over sea, he
said, ''is easier than land"
when we have five ships at sea
we have five sea-landing fields, not
more than 900 miles apart" ne de.

The amphibian planes which viii
be used will be tri-motored and
