Lindbergh Finds There Is No Such Thing as Seclusion New York, Feb, 28.—(?)—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh has just about decided that there is no such thing as seclusion. Colonel Lindbergh came here with a few friends. Saturday for a vacation in the belief that he could walk the streets andgmingle in the crowds of a great city without be- ing recognized. He discovered, however, that the only way he could avoid general and immediate recognition was to avoid being seen at all. Yesterday he ventured into a store on 45th street just off Fifth avenue, was recognized, and had to wait in the shop for an hour until police came to disperse ‘the crowds and escort him to his car. Tomorrow he expects to fly to AJbeny, where he ill make a speech in favor of proposed aviation bills before the legislature. Albany will also see other famous flyers within the next few days.

The alleged “man higher up” in the smuggling ring, Benjamin Bart- uowsky of Antwerp, Belgium, was found dead in a gas-filled room in Grooklyn Saturday, but his death will not affect Adler's trial, John M. Blake, federal prosecutor, said. Three of the smuggling gang have pleaded guilty, They are Abraham Frank, who said he alone had han- dled $500,000 worth of smuggled jewels; Charles Goldberg, and La- mot.
