Lindbergh Flies to Washington To Get His Spirit of St. Louis Returns to New York at Once Round Trip Made in ST, LOUIS T0 WHOOP DI PINEDO'S PLANE Early Hours of Morn- ing After Theater Party. 1 Reception Goes on in New | York Today — Aviator Does Stunts to Show | Pleasure. | New York, June 16 (M—Colonel | Charles A. Lindbergh in evening | clothes flew to Washington at dawn | | today and back to bring his other| half “‘we,” the Spirit of St. Louis, to | New York. | The young aviator's stunt was al- | most as dramatic as his hop-off in the fog for Paris. He had left a Nungesser benefit at the theater in | the early hours and was being taken to an after-theater dinner when he turned his automobile without warn- ing anyone to Mitchel Field and took off with the first streaks cf dawn at 3:05 a. m., daylight time. He landed at Bolling d, Washington, at 4:44; hopped off again for Mitchel Field at 5:09, and was back at his starting point at 7: 1t was a demonstration of his ideas of the progress of aviation, the ease, safety and convenience with which an experienced flyer may do the seemingly impossible. Bafore this flight, hope for Lindbergh to bring the Spirit of St. Louis here had been abandoned. Over his evening clothes when he took the air, he wore a flying suit borrowed from Colonel Foulois, com- mander of Mitchel Field. Even his helmet and goggles were borrowed. Takes Oft He took off at 3 o'clock daylight | time with the brief announcement that he intended to traasfer to the Spirit of St. Louis immediately upon reaching Bolling Field and return to New York in time to fuldill the day's program of receptions, Lindbergh flew a singls seater pur- suit plane. He was accompanied by Captain Sinclair Street in a plane of the same type. Round Trip in Short Time The round trip was made in less than five hours. He hopped oft from here in a borrowed army pursuit plane and a borrowed outfit at 3:03 o’clock, and arriving at Bolling Field, Washington at 4:44 a. m. daylight time, leaped from the plane to his beloved Spi of St. Louis and took off again for New York at 5:09. Lindbergh was attending a mid- night show at the Roxy theater given as a benefit for the dependents | of the missing French lie ser and Coli, when he s, Nunges- apparently reached a sudden deciston to get his | plane which had been left behind in Washington due to engire trouble. Unknown to most of the 6,000 per- sons in the theater, Lindbergh, ac- companied by Grover Whalen, chair- man of the mayor's committee, and Captain R. R. Blythe, his personal representative, left the theater at o'clock and entered their vutomobile. Newspapermen who had becn trailing Lindbergh since his descent upon the city, believed he was re- turning to his temporary apartment in Park avenue and were caught un- | awares when his machina unexpect- edly went in an opposite direction. Lindbergh took the wheel of the car| himself and soon outdistanced the| reporters. When they saw the machine head- ing towards the Quecnsborough bridge they knew he was bound for one of the flying fields on Long Is- land and arrived here just as he was about to take off. Lindbergh grected them with broad grin. “Well,” he said, “I gave you the slip that time.” He had been dressed in evening clothes, but over this had put on & flying suit borrowed from the fleld commandant. He also hal borrowed a helmet and goggles.

The homecoming celebration will start about 3:30 o'clock tomorrow when the flyer is scheduled to wing his way across the Mississippi river from the east. Naval reserves, sta- tioned on the river between the heads and municipal _bridges, will signal his approach. The signal will set off a din of whistles, sirens and bells, designed to convey to all the city that its hero of the day has re. turned. Crossing the Mississippi between the two bridges, Colonel Lindbergh will dip his plane to the colors of the naval reserve, and then circle the city before bringing his gogd ship the “Spirit of St. Louis” down to carth on the Lambert-St. Louis fly |ing ficld; 15 miles from the down- town district. | The ceremony at the flying field | will be b Governor Sam A.

Knight, one of the backers of the flyer's New York-to-Paris flight. No reception as been arranged for him that night. Saturday morning the aviator will head a gigantic parade through the | residential and business sections of !the city, and in the afternoon he will participate in the championship flag-raising ceremonies by the St. Louis Cardinals at Sportsman Park.

Preceding the dinner, addre: will be made by Secretary of War Davis, Governor Baker, Mayor M ler, and Knight and Harold N. Bix- by, the latter also one of the backers lof Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic flight. | On Sunday a program has been {arranged to take place in I‘orest Park, which will mark the culmina- tion of the three day home coming celebration, and afford the public a heotter opportunity to get a *close- up” of the noted flyer and his plane, which will be on exhibition iat the park.

O'Mara and the af- fidavit of Thomas J. ¥eeney and the affidavit of George C. Ellinger, duly filed in open court; and it appearing to the satisfaction of the court by inspection of the bill of complaint and said affidavits and otherwise, that a nuisance exists as described |in the said bill of complaint on the | premises therein mentioned, it is “Ordered that, pending the final | hearing and determination of this | application and entry of an order thereon, the defendant above named, her agents, servants and employes are restrained and enjoined from | manufacturing, selling and bartering wny intoxicating liquor, as defined in Section 1 of Title 11 of the ‘National Prohibtion Act.' upon th¢ premises | deseribed in the bill of complaint, |and from removing or in any way interfering with the liquor or fix- tures or other things upon said premises, used, kept, or maintained in connection with the manufacture, sale, keeping and bartering of such liquor, and from conducting or per= | mitting the continuance of a com- mon nuisance upon said premises.” Amplifying the phraseology of the injunction, Judge Hungerford ex. plained today that it does not have the effect of padlocking the store, but the attorneys will file their pleadings and another hearing will be given at a later date. The premises may be used in the mean- time, but if it is proven that the restrictions imposed by the injunc- tion have been violated, an action for contempt of court can be insti- tuted.
