It was the second pay roll rob- bery here in 24 hours. The bank runner—Gilbert E. Hyatt, jr, 17 years old, of 3318 Nineteenth street, employed by the Mount Vernon Savings Bank, at Ninth and K streets—was held up on M street between Four- teenth and Fifteenth while on his way to the Union Co-operative Insurance Co., a half block away.

As the robbers sped away, Hyatt found Park Policeman J. F. Connelly, to whom he related the story of the hold-up and subsequent robbery. Connelly took the youth to No. 13 precinct where he was questioned by police and later taken in tow by head- quarters detectives, who were planning to go with him over the scene of the robbery. Bag Is Found on Towa Avenue. One hour later the bag, containing checks and a negotiable bond, was ! found in the middle of the street on Iowa avenue by Charles A.

YOUTHS HELD IN PROBE OF MYSTERY DEATH Bruised Body of Unidentified Woman Is Found on Road in Edge of Baltimore. ‘Two Washington youths were being held here today for questioning by Bal- timore authorities in the death of an unidentified woman, whose bruised body was found early today in a ditch beside the old Philadelphia road on the out- skirts of Baltimore. Whether she had been struck down police have been unable to clear up. The boys—Charles Fillah, 17 years old, of 1137 Tenth street, and John Ed- ward Bostic, 18 years old, of 1135 Tenth street—were arrested by headquarters detectives at 6 o'clock this morning as they alighted from a Baltimore bus at 1136 New York avenue, Accused by Passenger. PFillah and Bostic were detained for questioning after they had been loudly accused of “knowing something about the murder of a woman on the Phila- delphia road” by an allegedly intoxi- cated man who accosted them while they were waiting for a Washington bus in Baltimore early this morning. The latter man, Vincent Casey, 26 years old, a coal miner of Bayard, ‘W.

HUBERT AIRPORT, Montreal, August 1.—The biggest airship the world has ever known, the British dirigible R-100, completed its first transatlantic crossing today, delayed and somewhat damaged by storm, but completely triumphant after its first great trial. Three days and more ago, at 9:45, Eastern standard time, on Monday night, the R-100 lifted from the ground at Cardington, England, and pointed its blunt nose across the sea. At 4:36 am. this morning, almost 79 hours after its departure, it was secured to the moor- ing mast erected here especially for its use. It would have made a far faster| trip, but stormy weather encountered after it had crossed the ocean and was | on the last leg of its flight here ripped the fabric covering of one fin. The hurt was slight and was repaired in the air, but time was lost while the ship was_hove to over Quebec prevented a landing before dark last night and so no attempt was made to moor until morning. Officers interviewed in the mast jm- mediately after mooring said that the damage was trivial and would not necessitate any change in the ship's schedule, which calls for several flights about Canada during the next 10 days before it starts back across the sea for home. Handled With Ease. In length the R-100 is between the | American Los Angeles and the German | Grat Zeppelin, but in girth and cubic capacity it is far larger than either. Yet is was handled in the air during the mooring operation with as much apparent ease as a tiny blimp, and when its nose was fast at the top of the mast and ropes from sides and rear were secured to the ground it floated es gently in the morning sun as a canoe on peaceful water. “We never had a bump all the way acrogs.the Atlaniic Ocean and every- thing went perfectly until we got to Father Point,” said Sir Dennistoun Burney, director of aircraft develop- ment and designer of the dirigible, as the ship was moored. “There we ran into a bad bump and | the jar tore the fabric on a sllb\lizh‘lll fin. But the damage was temporarily repaired and was negligible.” Sir Dennistoun, Maj. G. H. Scott, assistant director of airship develop- captain of the R-100, and Squadron | Leader Johnston, navigating officer, talked of the flight as soon as the ship was made fast. ‘There were still five tons of fuel left | aboard the R-100 when she hooked onto the mast here. Comfortable Means of Travel. ‘The most valuable thing learned on the trip, the officers believed, was that the airship was the most comfortable means of transportation. The course over the North Atlantic they regarded as the most feasible for commercial use if larger ships are used. “It was a very good test of the ship’s ability,” Sir Dennistoun said. “We ran into one of your thundersiorms last night and rose to 4,000 feet to get out of it. The trip was 3,364 miles from mooring mast at Cardington to mooring mast at St. Hubert “The chief benefit we derived from the trip was experience. We need long flights to gain the experience in han- dling lighter-than-air craft. There was not a movement across the Atlantic, and the ship behaved perfectly, We dodged to get into favorable winds once or twice, but the air was calm. “The most impressive thing about the trip is this: On Monday night I enter- tained a party at dinner.

Miss Mansell was arrested on East Grand boulevard at Helen avenue, near an alleged hang-out for hoodlums, in which four men were taken in a police rafd last night. Police said she is a sweetheart of Pete Licavoli, notorious gangster sought as the “key man” in the Buckley slaying.

Campbell, Virgini Highlands real estate man, held in the Arlington County Jail on a charge of the murder of Mary Baker, will be tried in the Dis- trict Supreme Court, it was an- nounced today following a con- ference of Commonwealth Attor- ney William C. Gloth of Arlington County, Lieut. Edward J. Kelly, chief of the Washington homicide squad, and Acting United States Attorney William H. Collins. Meanwhile, Charles Henry Smith filed a writ of habeas cor= pus in an effort to obtain the re- lease of Campbell from jail. The writ was returnable in the Ar- lington County Court Monday. Following the conference here, Mr. Collins directed Lieut. Kelly to obtain a warrant for Campbeli~ from United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage. Collins had been informed that Campbell would not come voluntarily to the District, and arrangements were made to arraign Campbell before a United States commissioner at Alexandria on a removal warrant. Today’s developments followed closely the announcement last night by Col. Calvin H. Goddard, ballistics expert in Chicago, that the gun turned over to { the police by Campbell was the one from which the bullets were fired that killed Mary Baker. ‘Witnesses Heard Shots. Eyewitnesses to the alleged assault on the young Navy Depariment clerk at Seventeenth and B streets when she returned to her automobile, which she had parked while attending church services at the Epiphany Church the night of April 11, reported that they heard pistol shots shortly after the automobile was driven from the corner. This evidence would tend to support the theory that the fatal assauli of~ curred in the District of Columbia.
