She waited in the West Ha- ven car barn for a taxi which & passerby called for her and when it arrived was taken home, Feldman said that Miss Maguire had bean put out of his car after the bandits had driven it a few lundred feet from the scene of the iioldup. He joined her, he said, and | she went with him while he called | Orange constables. | Constable F. C.

New York, May 23 (P—A million dollar pot of gold at the end of his 13,800 mile rainbow today awalited | Captain Charles A. Lindbergh. While world-wide acclaim tinued to mark the achievement of the youthful New York-Paris air- | man, there came offers which would cnable him to get back many times [ over the $2,000 investment he made {in his flight. Within twenty hours after ending his epochal flight the flier reccived definite offers of $735, 1000 in movie and commercial con- tracts. | A fortune of more than $1,000.- 000 would be within his grasp should he be able and willing to ful- fill an elaborate array of motion picture, vaudeville, advertising testi- monial, writing and other contracts. Future Not Decided But what the young captain will [ do is not known. Of the $20,000 which the flight cost, Lindbergh con- tributed his own savings of $2,000, St. Louis business men made up the balance. He is free to do what he choses about the flattering proposals, Harry H. Knight and other sponsors of the flight said in St. Louis. “To the victor belong the spoils,” his.backers said in announcing that Lindbergh {may keep the $25,000 Orteig prize and all other money which | acerue to the venture.

Conquers Paris 23 (A — Lindbergh came, was seen and has conquered the hearts of all Frenchmen. From ately home to humble cottage, the feat of this daring aviator in flying alone from New York to Paris was still the sole topic of conversation today, while at country fair and in city cafe his name was heiird re. peatedly. The story of Lindbergh, his life, ambitions, flight experiences and articularly the details of his crown= ' ing achievement, fills the newspapers to the exclusion of all else, for the simple reason that nobody wants to read about anything else. Many Floral Tributes The Amecrican embassy, the aviate or's temporary quarters, is crowded with floral offerings and {is being bombarded with invitations of a di- versified nature. It seems to be the ambition of every aspiring hostess to have him at her table, of the organ- izers of sports meetings to have him preside, of scientific societies to have him lecture, of vaudeville promoters to have him give performances. Lindbergh said he would like to please everybody, but is obliged to admit it is impossible to accede to even one tenth of the requests. He will be guided in acceptances by My= ron T. Herrick, the American ame bassador ,who is acting as his social adviser. Lindbergh’s first act this morning was to visit a tailor for an outfit so as to appear to advantage at the long series of ceremonies in store for him. The first of these is a re< ception this afternoon at the French Aero club, the invitation to which ne accepted before he left the Unit.
