Wealthy British Racer Likes to
Be Called "Britain's Most
Popular Sportsman"
By FOSTER HALEY

New York, Feb. 17.-(P-He would
much rather walk that ride-he
doesn't like to drive an automobile
in traffic. It's dangerous, he thinks
he has never been arrested for
speeding-he is the worlds speed
king.
He Is captain Malcolm Campbell,
landed English gentleman, breeder of
Abstain and Airedale dogs, mentioned
for the knighthood, wealthy by in
heritance, a gentleman by birth and
breeding, sportsman by choice and
holder Of the worlds automobile
speed record.
He loves to fish and will even drop
work on his Bluebird I1-his cham
pion racing car-to whip q trout
stream with a friend.
Is Romantic
He Is an incurable romantic and Is
one of those who believes in the le-
gends of hidden pirate gold. He has
been a member OF several expeditions
seeking secret caches Of pirate plum
der along the Spanish main.
He is fond of sailing and has al
ways had n or two little fellows,
which he shippers himself.
He never travels by train when he
can travel by plane. He was in the
Royal Flying corps during the World
war and has several enemy planes to
his credit. He built an airplane in
1909. He won his first medal-in a
motorcycle race-in 1905.
Captain Campbell flew several hun
dred miles over the Sahara desert
last year looking for a dry lake bed
on which to conduct his automobile
speed runs. He found one but had to
abandon the location because he
couldn't get his car there.
Held Captive
During this exploration trip his
plane had to make a forced landing
and he was held captive by the Riffs
for several days.
He is an amateur boxer and never
misses a big fight. He was very en-
barrassed when discovered at the
Vince Dundee-Leo Harvey bout in
Madison Square Garden the other
night and called to the center Of the
ring. He was given an ovation such
as few men have received there.
Although he dislikes all fuss and
ostentation he submits graciously to
all requests for interviews and pic
lures. He endeared himself to the re-
porters, cameramen and public at
Daytona Beach during his recent
trials there by his unfailing good hu-
NOR under the most trying conditions.
He has never refused a request for his
autograph.
His favorite pastime is sitting
around with a group Of friends. He
knows as many Scotch jokes as Har-
ry Lauder, and can tell them delight
fully, he has a trace Of Scotch burr
in his voice.
Likes to Walk
He counts that day lost, when
home, that he does not walk severa.
miles over the English countryside,
with his dogs and his family.
He Is 46, looks 80, married, fathe::
Of two children. He thinks he may
be driving racing cars until he Is 70,
He loves America, he says, and
feels very deeply the responsibility to
make q good impression on the Amer
lean public. He said he came over as
much to aid goodwill between his
country and the United States as he
did to break q record.
He finances his own speed tests
and in the last six years has spent
approximately 100000 on his racing
cars.
He has been called "Grea: Britain'l
most popular sportsman." He likes
that title.

MISSING CHILD FOUND

Baby Believed Carried to Unused

Escaped III Treatment.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, September 10. - Patricia
Kirby. 2-year-old daughter Of Tom
Kirby. former national amateur light
heavyweight boxing champion, was
found yesterday in an attic closet three
doors from her home while wide
spread search, begun when she disap-
peared Tuesday, was being extended
throughout the city.
A police investigation was started
Immediately, however, after DR.. viii
liam p. johnson, called to examine the
child, had expressed the belief that
Patricia had been well cared for; that
she showed no need or desire for food,
and that she probably had not been in
the closet more than a few hours.
Workmen summoned by police were
draining the sewer in front Of the Kirby
home in search of the child when
Martin j. Connolly, neighbor, whose
children are playmates of Patricia, hur-
ried from HIS home bearing the child
In his arms.
Mrs. Connolly. he said, had gone to
an unused attic and found the child
lying on the closet floor. Patricia. with
tears streaming down her begrimed
face, was placed La her mothers arms,
but the strain and shock were too much
for Mrs. Kirby, who tainted.
Authorities attached no blame to
Connolly and were working on the
theory that whoever had the child, had
taken 1t to the attic by way Of back
stairway, which leads directly TO 1t.

Mrs Anna M. Colclazier, whose father
guarded Lincoln and later helped cap
ture the Presidents assassin, was re-
tired wednesday after 48 years service
in the Treasury Department
Mrs. Colclazier, who lives at 2026 ]
street, entered the employ OF the Gov
eminent during the administration OF
President Arthur, who appointed her to
position in the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing.
That was on September 1, 1883, and
she has since held various jobs in the
Treasury Department, finally becoming
an expert money handler. During the
years she served In that capacity, 1t is
said, she permitted only one counter
felt bill to pass through her hands.
That was IS bill, and she had to make
1t good.
When the Confederates captured Fort
Stevens, now Brightwood, Mrs. Col
Glaciers father owned q farm in that
section. The Southerners took posses
sion Of the farm, and President Lin
coin, who rushed to the fort, found the
farmer firing at the Confederate SOL
diers sheltered in his house.
ANY man who Is brave enough TO
fire on his own home Is brave enough
to take care of me-" the President Is
quoted as having said. He ordered
Colclazier to report to Secretary Stan
ton the next day.
Colclazier was not present when Lin
coin was shot, however, having gone to
New York on q secret mission. He re-
turned to the Capital Immediately after
the assassination.
Mrs. Colclazier, who entered the Gov
eminent service at q salary Of 81 q

year. One of her most priced pos
sessions is q letter from w. 0. Wood,

HAMBURG. Germany, September 10.
Narcotic peddlers, hard pressed by
the Tightening of restrictions on manu-
facturers and distributors, are blamed
by police. for a wave Of robberies in
which only narcotics were stolen.
Doctors Offices and hospitals particu-
larry have been singled out, but the
amounts secured have been insufficient
to supply the demand.
With thousands of tons Of shipping
putting into this port each month, the
work of agencies combating narcotic
peddlers Is made doubly hard. Because
the narcotics can be smuggled in smaller
quantities than any other product out

say 1t would require virtually an army
