The intruder shook her and demanded that she get up and give him all the money in the house. She obtained $7.90 from a bureau drawer and handed it to him. Then her nerves gave way and she screamed. He struck her across the face with the milk bottle and fled. A man answering the same descrip- tion appeared 45 minutes later at the home of Mrs. Charles Deck, 35 vears old, 1635 Benning road.

LOCKHART LEADING IN SO0-MILE RACE Record Crowd of 145,000 Sees Four Accidents Early in Auto Classic. cears old, the first By the Associated Press. SPEEDWAY, INDIANAPOLIS, May 80.—With a record-smashing crowd of 145,000 spectators cheering them on to new speed records, 33 drivers, their tiny racing creations perfectly tuned, roared away at 10 o'clock today in the start of the 500-mile automobile race over the Indianapolis Speedway. Frank Lockhart, a 23-year-old Los Angeles youth, who came out of the ‘West unknown a year ago to win the 1926 race, was a red-hot favorite to repeat, with Tommy Milton, twice win- mer of the race, ranking as a danger- ous challenger. Milton, a veteran of the roaring race road, returned to the sport after re- tiring 18 months ago. He drove a car of his own build, a mysterious spe- cial, which qualified at 108 miles an hour and seemed to have plenty of speed in reserve. Lockhart Leads at Start. Lockhart took the lead on the very first Jap. He was ripping along near- 1y three-quarters of a mile ahead of Leon Duray at the end of the second lap. Harry Hartz, another Los Angeles driver, was third. The spectators got their first gasp when a car driven by Norman Batten of Brooklyn burst into flames in full sight of the thousands in the grand- stands as the leaders were finishing the first 50 miles. With smoke and blazing gasoline enveloping the speed- ing car, Batten herolcally stuck with the machine, driving while standing up until he gamely brought it to a atop. He was seriously hurned on the hands and body. He was rushed to the hospital for first aid. Three Other Accidents Occur. Before the first 100 miles were fin- ished there were three other accl- dents. The car driven by Jules Ellingboe of Memphis, smashed into the retaining wall on the north turn of the track as Ellingboe was on his sixtieth mile. ‘The machine was w! ked. Ellingboe was reported to have sustained broken legs. Dave Lewls also hit the north wall, when his front axle broke. Lewlis escaped inju Hartz scraped the wall turning into the stretch, but pulled into the pits under his own power Lockhart, his car singing a song of speed, reeled off the first 100 miles in 57:00:28, an average of 105.25 miles an hour. Bauman was second. Bob Mc- Donogh was third. Lockhart, up to this time, had earned $4.000 in lap prize bonuses, getting §$100 for every lap he led. Driver Serfously Injured. H. Kohlert, a garage owner of St. Charles, 11, driving as relief for Lecklider of Elgin, 11l., was probably fatally injured when his car tangled with the machine driven by Cliff Bergere, a coast driver, on the south turn of the track, as they were hitting off their 190th mile, Kohlert was picked up for dead, but he was still alive when he was rushed to the hospital, with the physicians holding out no hope for him. His skull was fractured and he otherwise was internally injured. Bergere was slightly injured, but was able to walk off the track. ASKED TO RECONSIDER.

Mr. Coolidge's message to the French President, handed to President Dou- mergue by Ambassador Herrick, de- clared: “The magnificent reception accord- ed to Lindbergh by the government and people of IFrance has gone straight to the hearts of the American people. It is a stirring proof that the unity of purpose forged upon the fleld of battle by our forefathers and by the men of our time remains steadfast A strong, a_consecration of the past and a dedication to the future.” Ambassador Herrick was instructed also to express to M.

The two boys are leaving today, while Miss Carlson and her mother plan to re- main at least until tomorrow. Afte that time the seven contenders for the championship, who have become pretty fast friends in the two days they passed together, will see no more of one another until they meet in New York City July 1, before sailing the following day for rope aboard the 8. S. Leviathan, Friendship Cemented, Yesterday's outing, again as guests of the The Evening Star, served ad- mirably to complete the work of mak- ing friends of recent strangers that the cruise of Saturday had begun, As the party motored from The Star Building to a point of interest and then on to others, parents of orators interested themselves in the new friends of their own youngsters, and as the day wore on it was evident that each mother and father in the party was not only willing to have their child travel for the Summer with the other six, but they were anxious for the companionship. When the tour was over and the groups which had occupied individual closed cars had climbed out of the machines to meet in farewell, there were real tears shed over the leave- taking. The orators and their entourage met at The Star Building yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock and shortly afterward they boarded a procession of automobiles for the sightseeing tour, Col, C. Fred Cook, represent- ing The Star as official host, ‘was again captain of the fleet. Visit Pan-American Building. The first stop on the trip yvesterday was the Pan-American Building, and from there the procession went on to the Lincoln Memorial. Then there was a trip up through Georgetown and a passage over the Key Bridge into Virgini Fort Myer and Ar- lington were points at which lensthy stops were made, and at the latter place the party visited the Lee Man- slon and finally the Amphitheater and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Boarding their cars again the ora- torg and company sped down to Alex- andria, where, at the George Mason Hotel, they found a Virginia dinner. Col. Cook, at the head of the long table in a private dining room, an- nounced that the rule of all The Star's dinners—no speech would be en forced, and from that instant on ever: member of the party relaxed in the informality of a delightful meal. Dur- ing the course of the meal Meyer Gold- man and a quartet of his musicians played many numbers. ‘Wheeling the piano around so that its player might be seen by the diners, the orchestra retreated, and Col. Cook called upon Miss @arlson to play. The little girl from jthe West complied readily. At the conclusion of the meal, Col. Cook did make one little speech. He told the guests that he hoped they en- Joyed their visit to the Capital—after all, he said, their own city—as much as The Star had enjoyed having them, Berryman Decoratés Menu Cards. Attractively printed menus, bear- ing a drawing by C. K. Berryman, cartoonist for The Star, and the names of each of the orators, were set at each cover and when the din- ner party broke up there was a hurried scurry in autographing of one another's menus before the members of the party moved on again to other spots of beauty and interest Back in Washington, Rock Creek Park was visited and the upper reaches of Sixteenth street, and finally the automobiles reached the Willard Hotel, where the leave-taking began. In bidding good-by, the young ora- tors were calling themselves by their &t hames, Miss Carlson was Dorothy” to the six boys, and the; in turn to her were Carl, Aleck, Lisle, Jefferson, Maxwell and Jimmie, and that's just who will make up the party that will breeze through Kurope this Summer with Mr. and Mrs. Ran- dolph Leigh, HEADQUARTERS COMPANY HAS OUTING CELEBRATION Fifth Anniversary of Organization Is Marked by Trip Aboard Steamer. nd corn Members of the Headquarters Com- pany, district of Washington, and their friends, nunibering about 350 persons, yesterday Jjoined in cele- brating the fifth anniversary of the organization of this Army command here by an outing to Fort Washington and Marshall Hall aboard the steamer Gen.

Fifteen hundred of them found their way to New Orleans. Many pushed on to Bayou Teche, 150 miles West. There theéy increased to some 150,000, oc- cupying 15 pari or counties, when the flood spread over their homes, towns and lands, " ‘Beautiful is the 1 with and_forests of it trees Under the feet a den of flowers, the bluest of heavens Bending above. and resting its dome on the W lls of the forest. 1 there name it the Eden The its prairies and 1 the orange groves are in : and grass grows ngle night than a whole Cana- dian Summer.’ Georgaphy Called Good. “For a poet, Longfellow's geography is fairly .good.

The Bayou Teche parallels the Atcha- falaya, but it is a true river out of the reach of swamps and bordered by Druld onks.

Now the flood has reached St. Martinsville for the first time in history and syirls at the foot of the ivangeline’ oak where her hoatmen landed. An Acadian descendant gave the Evangeline oak, with 150 acres of land, for a State park. “While to readers of ‘Evangeline’ the inhabitants of southwest Louisiana are still Acadians, to Louisianians they are ‘Cajans or ‘Cajuns, a cor- ruption of Acadian.

By the Associated Press. HORTA, Island of Fayal, Azores, 30.—Col. Francesco de Pinedo, n aviator, arrived here this morning on_the Ttalian steamer Su- perga, which had his seaplane, the Santa Maria, II, in tow. De Pinedo left Trepassey, New- foundland, last Monday morning hop- ing to fly to the Azores by afternoon on his return journey to Rome, con- cluding his four-continent flight. He forced to land on the sea, because, id advices from Rome, a high wind took him out of his course and he used so much gasoline that he found it im- possible to make the Azores. A Portu- guese sailing vessel took him and his two flight companions aboard and the plane in tow. Later they boarded the steamer Superga for the trip to the Azores. Col. de Pinedo intends to fly to Italy from the islands when the necessary repairs are made to the plane. Pinedo Is Undaunted. Undaunted by his forced landing in the Atlantic, De Pinedo said that as soon as his seaplane had been put in flying order he would resume his four-continent journey, which began from Cagliari February 13 and has carried him to Africa, South America and the United States. Interruption of the attempted hop from Trepassy, Newfoundland, to this port last Monday, the commander said, was caused by adverse weather con- ditions. The start from Trepassy was made in moderate weather, but the plane encountered a blanket of fog and for 400 miles had to fly at a high altitude to get above the mist. At this height a strong contrary wind was encountered, slowing the | speed and increasing the consumption of fuel. When about 270 miles from Flores Island the Portuguese schooner Infante Sagres was sighted. Fearing he would be unable to reach Horta, De Pinedo decided to come down. Picked Up by Schooner. The fiyers were picked up by the schooner and the plane was towed for three days, when the Superga took the flyers aboard, also taking over the tow of the seaplane. The steamer proceeded very slowly to avold further damage to the plane. The steamer arrived here at 6:20 o'clock this morning and. the seaplane was moored to the breakwater. There had been slight damage to the rudder and floats. Thousands of persons watched the arrival from vantage points on the hills, while local offi- cials went on board to welcome the aviators. Spare parts for the plane are al- ready on hand here and others are being sent. Skilled workers, it is ttated, are en route from both Italy and America.
