Shouting curses, the motorist at
tempted to swing his automobile
across in front of the motorcycle.
Failing, he sped away, Stankowicz
in pursuit.
Standing on a northwest side
street was policeman Fred KordeS.
He ieaped to the carrier of STAN
kowicz' motorcycle.
A crowd of nearly 100 persons
was waiting for street cars and
BUSES at an intersection. They
flew as the maniac sent his car
roaring through their midst. Then,
his whim changing, the motor1st
stopped, leaped out and started for
the policemen with Ratchet.
The officers had emptied their
guns at his tires. He slaShed
Stankowicz' hand.
Again he 1eaped into his car and
sped on, this time with Stankowicz
clambering on to the top of the
sedan and shouting for help. At
Dawson avenue, another motorist
forced the maniac'S car to the curb
just as Kordes arrived in a COM
Wandered automobile, since the
motorcycle had burned away its
brakes.
Brandishing his Ratchet, the
maniac started for the policemen
again. They ran, Kordes reloading
his revolver. The first shot missed,
but Kordes' second pierced the
Ratchet wielder's heart.

United Press stan Correspondent

TOXIC. Aug. 26.-Colonel and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, who
ended their perilous 7O00-mile flight
from the United States to Japan
this afternoon at Kasumigaura air
dome, told at first hand tonight
their adventures on the aerial
vacation trip"
The young American aviator re-
Vealed for the first time how
narrowly they escaped damaging
their monoplane last week in a
forced landing on the Kurile
islands.
Colonel Lindbergh said that they
might have met serious trouble if
the government steamer Shinshiru
Maru had not stood by.
The Lindberghs arrived here to
receive one of the most enthusiastic
receptions Japan ever accorded
foreign visitors. The ovation has
been eQIalled in recent years only
by the coronation journey of en-
peror Hirohito to the summer
capital at Kyoto.
Pleased With Japan
Receiving newspaper men after
ward, the visitors expressed delight
with everything they had seen thus
far in Japan. Colonel Lindbergh,
appearing somewhat pale and tired
after the twenty-nine-d flight,
did most of the talking. Mrs. Anne
Lindbergh sat demurely by speak
ing only when questions were
directed at her.
Colonel Lindbergh expressed the
belief that airmail and passenger
planes flying between Japan and
the United States would be feasible
as soon as weather stations are
established.
He said that they never felt them
selves in any great danger, even
during the troublesome experiences
along the Kurile islands, but that
the flight proved the necessity of
radio equipment.
May Extend Flight
The flier added they were I'M
certain whether to extend their
flight and fly around the world.
He drew chuckles from his au-
dience when, in answering a ques-
ton, he said raw fish, such as served
them in native villages, was "the
only kind I can eat"
Mrs. Lindbergh said the radio
equipment which she used worked
well in general and that she was
able to keep in continuous two-way
touch with Japanese stations.
Thousands packed the streets and
waiting room at Uyenv station
We're the party arrived from Ka-
Sumigaura at $50 p. m. Police ex-
perienced greatest difficulty in
clearing a path for their automo-
bile, as the crowds jostled about
shouting "Lindy! Indy"
The party required forty minutes
to traverse the six miles to the
home of United States Ambassador
w. Cameron Forbes.
Thousands of Children Cheer
In front of the home were maSsed
thousands of school children, wav-
ing flags specially printed with the
Japanese flag on one side and the
American on the other.
The crowds around the house
proved too much for the police, and
lines were broken as shouting ma
tives swarmed around the gates.
The visitors dined privately and
retired early in preparation for a
busy day Thursday, when Tokio'S
enthusiasm will be permitted full
vent.
