More Speed in the Air

The prediction that New York and San Francisco will
eventually be linked by overnight air mail service-a
prediction that would have sounded foolish only a year
or so ago-is beginning to seem a great deal more reason
able, in view of Captain Hawks l2-hour flight from one
ocean to another.
Speed in the air is becoming more and more common.
Just at present, undoubtedly, it would be impossible for
a regular air mail plane to maintain, or even attempt,
a l2-hour schedule across the continent; but when the
way in which aircraft designers arc constantly develop
ing new and improved models is considered, it seems quite
possible that the thing will be done in the near future.
You might notice that it is just Is years since an
aviator made a great sensation by flying all the way from

armed State police was hastily

the little Potter county jail today
when reports were heard that an
attempt might be made to storm
the jail and lynch Harry Koons,

Because of the threats, reports
were broadcast last night that
Koons had been spirited away

When it became known today
that the reports were untrue,
that Koons still cringed behind
the bars in the jail here and that
threats of storming the jail were
being openly made, the State po-
lice were ordered out to guard
the prisoner.

Staying was revenge, he told

Escaped Man Shoots II Out
With Kentucky Sheriffs and
Makes Getaway Wounded

LONDON. XIV. Sept. Is uN.s.)
Ted Geisking. Indiana gangster
identified as the slayer Of Alfred
"Jake" Lingle, Chicago Tribune
reporter, was wounded in gun
battle with sheriff's deputies and
is being trailed through surround
ing hills today with sheriff's
posse in close pursuit.
Geisking was the only one Of
gang Of four who escaped when
the quartet was ambushed near
here yesterday after hi-jacking
an indianapolis, Ind LIQUOR
truck.
The captured trio gave their
names Of. Robert Vickers, John
Gauley, Dave Hodges and John
Sheets. Geisking az first was re-
ported being held, but with the
arrival Of State Trooper Carl
Losey Of Indiana and Sevgt.
George Williams. Of the States
Attorneys office at Chicago, it
was learned that the escaped
man was the LingIe murder
suspect.
Fled Shooting
Authorities from Chicago were
expected today to take charge Of
the man-hunt.
Geisling was the only member
of the quartet who choose to
shoot it out with the officers. the
others choosing to surrender
peaceably. Wounded. perhaps
seriously in the exchange Of
shots, the gangster fled into the
hills.
According to the states At
torney's Office at Chicago II
witnesses to the daylight assas-
,Sination have identified photo
graphs Of GeislSing as those OF
the killer who fired a bullet into
the back Of Lingle's head.
Officers waylaid the quartet Of
hijackerS. who we're armed with
two machine guns, two rifles and
two, revolyers. A battle ensued.
Geisking, long a scourge In
Indiana as q result Of kidnapings,
hijackingS and other crimes, was
sought for two murders besides
that Of Lingle, authorities re-
/ vealed.
Fled Last June
According to police it was
Geisking. acting under the gang
leader Zuta's orders, who went
to Kentland, Ind, to kill a gang
ster last May 20. BY mistake
he shot and killed william
Simons, Chicago Board Of Trade
member for 90 years, it was said.
And, because Zuta failed to pay
the price he promised for Lingle's
murder, Geisking and his gang
riddled Zuta in a Delafield (Wis.)
summer resort last July.
After fleeing Chicago last June,
Geisking's trail was picked up in
Indiana by two Chicago Herald
and Examiner reporters and he
was traced throughout Indians,
into Illinois and to East St.
Louis, thence to North Carolina
and finally to Kentucky.

Once Ran Mule-C Cars Near Ne7U Orleans

1t was this woman Upton had
the pleasure OF meeting when he
visited New Orleans in the au-
tumn of 1912. Despite her adj
vanced age, she called on the now
distinguished visitor at the St.
Charles hotel, where he was stop
ping. They dined together. Sir
Thomas relates the meeting as fol-
lows:
During the meal she leaned
over the table and said, DO you.
remember saying, Sir Thomas,
that my pancakes were every bit
as good as those your mother used
to make?'
"Laughingly 1 replied that /
not only remembered saying 1t
but that I remembered the pam
cakes even better. This meeting
was for me the most refreshing
link with the past; and / can
truthfully say that in all America
there was no one with whom l
would rather have renewed a
friendship than with this dear old
lady.
This is typical of Lipton's dem
ocratic spirit. 1t is said, in fact,
that Sir Thomas proudest boast is
that he is still plain Tommy"
Upton to his friends.
Now over 80 years old, Sir
Thomas has never married, has
not a single relative in the world.
His great tea business is car
rying itself along without him.
More pertinent to him now is Win
ming that Americas yachting cup,
for which he has tried five times,
costing him more than 100000.
His ambition in life, as he him
self says, is to Gift that damned
old mug" And the sentiment OF
the American people. won by MS
great sportsTnanship. is that his
ambition will be gratifed.

ONE fact not generally known
~ about the man who rose from
poverty to become n of the
worlds greatest merchant princes,
to walk with kings and, in leisure
moments, to seek to wrest the
yachting trophy from America
is that he once drove a mule a
] for a livelihood in Carrollton, La,
not many miles from New Orleans.
The man is Sir Thomas Upton of
Scotland.
And though he has since be-
come a Knight Commander of
the Victorian Order, one of the
Majesty's Lieutenants of the City
of London, Freeman of the City
of Glasgow and Grand Officer of
the Order of the Crown of Italy
and of the Order of st. Sava OF
Serbia, Sir Thomas hasn't lost the
common touch.
Those Pancakes
In 1912 and again in 1921 he
visited in New Orleans to revive
those old memories, to talk once
more with the woman at whose
house he boarded for SIS a week
and whose succulent pancakes he
looked forward to each day. He
