NEW YORK PLANS
SPEEDY JUSTICE
FOR CANCSTER
Slayer OF Policeman Is
Captured After Spec
tacular Battle.

NEW YORK, May 8. U.p)-Fran-
els Two Gun" Crowley, l10-pound
desperate who was trapped and
shot in one of the most thrilling po-
lice operations this city has seen in
years, is bound for the electric chair
"by the quickest possible route" /"
Nassau county authorities said to-
Gay.
The 20-year-old killer, cringing
under the certain knowledge that his
CHANCES of escaping electrocution
are not more than one in 100, was
taken in an ambulance from Belle
yue hospital today to the Nassau
county hospital at Mineola, L. I.
His three wounds, one in each leg
and one in the wrist, will heal
quickly, doctors said.
At 1920 a. m, hastily assembled
county grand jury returned an in
dictment against Crowley charging
first degree murder for the brutal
killing of Patrolman Frederick
Hirsch. The indictment was drawn
up and signed by the jury foreman
after the jurors had heard the story
OF the killers sweetheart, l6-year-
old Helen Walsh, captured with him
in the mass police attack on their
Manhattan apartment late yeSter-
day. Arrangements we're being
made, before even the indictment
was signed to have the trial set
Gown for week from next Mon
cay.
While the jury was in session ar
langements were being made to
transfer Crowley from the Bellevue
hospital in Manhattan, where he
was taken after the capture to the
Nassau county hospital at Mineola.
Four armed men were to ride in
side the ambulance with Crowley
and 1t was to be preceded and fol-
lowed by policemen in cars and on
| motorcycles.
The girl was taken to the Nassau
| Jail last night and in an early
| morning conference with District
Attorney Elvin N. Edwards. assured
him that she would tell the whole
story to the jurors and at the trial.
Crowley, the girl and Rudolph
Durniger, 220-pound truckman, bat
tied furiously with police for more
than an hour in their fifth floor
apartment on West Nineteenth
street at o'clock last night and
more than 700 shots were fired be-
fore the young gunman showed the
white flag.
Ten thousand spectators lined the
streets in the neighborhood as po-
lice, under personal command OF
Commissioner Edward p. Mulrooney
hacked their way into the apart
ment with axes, hurled tear gas
bombs at the beseiged trio and shat
tered the walls with machine gun
and rifle fire. They gave up only
after their youthful leader lay on
the floor, gasping for breath and
bleeding from his wounds. Neither
Miss Walsh nor Durniger was
wounded.

LOST EXPLORER
IS RESCUED BY
SEARCH PARTY
Three Nations United In
Thrilling Hunt For
Missing Britisher.

Copyright, 1881, by United Press
COPENHAGEN, May 8. UP)-
Augustine Courtauld, rich young
Briton who had been facing star
walton in the wilderness of the
Greenland ice cap, was safe today
and trudging slowly toward the
nearest outpost of civilization, Ang-
magsalik
A sledge party led by H. G. Wat
kinS and made more determined by
repeated failures to locate Court
aud, finally found the young ex-
plorer on the inland ice. Watkins
is chief of the British Arctic Aerial
Route expedition which left Court
auld In little meteorological sta
ton on the ice cap last summer to
spend the winter alone, awaiting re-
lief which failed to reach him last
month when his supplies were ex-
hausted.
Radio messages received by the
fishing ministry said the rescue by
land. sea and air had, at last, been
successful and that Courtauld. in
the company of the Watkins party,
was trekking toward the base camp
OF the expedition, not far from Ang-
magsalik, OH the southeastern coast
OF Greenland. They were expected
to arrive there In q few days.
Captain Albin Ahrenberg, famous
Swedish pilot, who made a bold
journey from Norway to Greenland
by plane TO aid the rescue work,
added to his laurels in the success
OF the expedition. Taking considera-
BILE risk on the treacherous ice,
Ahrenberg flew from the base camp
to point about 40 miles away,
where he located the hut in which
Courtauld had spent the winter.
Britain, Denmark and Sweden
had participated in the search for
Courtauld, who had remained on the
ice last winter to make meteorologi-
cal observations in an effort to prove
the practicability OF a northern air
route from England to America.
Ahrenberg, who willingly undertook
the rescue flight. had flown in the
region previously but encountered
such unfavorable conditions that he
declared the route inadvisable.
Courtauld Is the son of a wealthy
silk manufacturer. The Watkins ex-
pedition left London last July, 60
ing to Greenland on the ship West.
The Arctic exploration was to set
a route via the Farce Islands, Ice
land and Greenland to Canada.

Mexicali officers with one of the

stabbed TO death, robbed, and their
bodies apparently placed in the au-
tomobile in which officers found
them. When discovered the Chinese
had apparently been dead for
day or more.
Near the automobile were found
several checks, the only clue Baja
California officers have TO work on
A member of the Mexicali police
force was in FL Centro today in an
effort TO trace the checks. Robbery
was apparently the motive OF the.
murderers. .

the car In which the bodies were
found. The Chinese apparently
were stabbed before their bodies
were placed in the car.

Hint Spain May
Quit Morocco

PARIS, May 8. U.P)-Alarm was
expressed in informed quarters to-
day regarding reports that the new
Spanish republic is considering the
prospect OF abandoning Spanish
Morocco in the conquest of which
Spain exhausted many human lives
and spent much treasure. 1t was
the last campaign in Morocco, many
observers declare, which cost Al
fonSo his throne.
No official confirmation of the
report was obtainable but it is well
known that n section of Spanish re-
publicans have long opposed the
"detestable colonialism" policy of
the former monarch, as carried out
under the relationships of General
Primo de Rivera and General DAM
maSso Berenguer.
The Importance of Spain MAIN
tanning her colonial troops in Moroc-
co is obvious to France. Without
the collaboration of Spain in the
war against Abud Ell Krim, the Riff
leader, the campaign would likely
have continued longer.

INDEPENDENCE OF
PHILIPPINES IS
J0HNS0N'S PLEA

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8. W.P)-
The Philippines should be granted
independence and immigration of
Mexicans to California should be
restricted as the first steps in solv-
ing the Pacific Coasts immigration
problems, United States Senator Hi
ram johnson believes.
These problems, however, will
not be solved so long as powerful
business interests do not want them
solved" the senator told the San
Francisco Commonwealth club last
night.
Congressional restriction of
Mexican immigration into Califor-
mia is blocked by chambers of COM
merce, farm and industrial groups
in the southern part of the state
who profit by cheap labor" he said.
1.-The number of Mexicans in the
United States has increased from
l03 900 in 1900 to more than 100000
today.
You don't have to convince con-
gress that this demands a remedy
and you don't have to convince me.
Convince Southern California busi-
ness men.
LAS to the Filipino problem, many
find it outrageous that we would
deny entry to natives of country
over which we hold tutelage. I con-
fess that this view appeals to me.
IF Filipino independence is pro-
posed in the next congress, I shall
vote for it, because the United States
navy has been rendered incapable
of defending the islands. We should
be ready to defend all our possess
sions, and If we are unable we
should withdraw"
