June 13.— OP) —Col.! j Lindberghs narrowly escaped injury .’just after landing at the Battery when unexpected acceleration of the official automobile threw him from a standing position, h : s head and shoul j tiers going over the back of the motor ; car. The quick touch of Grover 1 Whaling at the flyer's knees prevent- 1 j ed a fall. Cha«. Lindbergh qame back today to | the city he left on his great adventure, 1 i the first non-stop flight ever made | from New York to Paris. He stepped ! from the city tug Macon at the Bat i tery at 1 :20 p. m., after being I brought up the bay from Quarantine | where he had landed in an amphibian i plane after a flight from Washington i j via Mitchell Field. As the Macon hove in sight the ! crowds at the Battery burst into such a roar of greetings as that famous welcoming crowd had probably never heard beforg. The sirens on countless craft m the -harbor 1 added to the dm, and the crowd surged forward toward the sea wall as though its every mem ber wished to seize the hero's hand and greet him personally. Police were put to it to keep order, as men and women shouted out their welcomes and everything available j from hats to and pen- j nants were waved wildly. As the Macon approached. the Bat tery fire boats began to fire water from their deck guns in salute, and excursion boats crowded with cheering admirers formed a convoy for the j city’s boat-. Lindbergh's arrival at Quarantine j where the Macon picked him up ended ' the flyer's first air journey since the ! flyer returned to America, and a jour j ney which might have proved disas i trous but for his skill. He decided ! to fly from Washington to Mitchell [ Field where he changed to an am j phibian in a Crutis pursuit plane, in ! stead of his famous Spirit of St. 1 Louis. Shortly after taking to the ' air his gasoline flow stopped and he j had to turn on his auxiliary tank : which contained just enough gas to carry him 300 miles. Undaunted by | this contingency. Lindbergh continued j and landed at Mitchell fie.d with the ! auxiliary tank almost dry. j As the Macon docked, Lindbergh, : his curly hair blown by the breeze, ! mounted the pilot house and waved a ! greeting to the wildly cheering*, crowd. Battery Park echoed to the shouts of the crowd and the air drummed with the vibration of a squadron of ! planes circling about the city. As Lindbergh descended from the j pilot house and came ashore, the 1 noise of cheering and whistles on the harbor craft were so great as to be almost deafening. Police said that the crowds to welcome L’ndbergh were the greatest that had ever gath ered in this city for any reason. The throngs were orderly and submitted to restrictions of the police in a spirit of good fellowship. As the cheering and whistles at the Battery were heard farther up i town, a roar of welcome rolled up j Broadway to the City Hall and was maintained there as Lindbergh joined | the parade at the Battery and started uptown. As Lindbergh was proceeding up town in the parade, the pressure of the crowds became so great at the cor ner of Murray Street and Broadway where the procession was a right angle turn between the City Hall grand stands, that the police lines were broken and a wedge, of spectators was thrown forward into tse street. » Women screamed, and j confusion was complete until mount ed police drove the crowds to the sidewalks. Wpmen in danger of be ing trampled were rescued by patrol men on foot. Half a dozen women suffered partial collapse, but were re vived at first aid stations. Vessels Damaged in Collision. New York. June 13—G4>)—The mu nicipal ferry boats Bronx and Julius Miller collided off the Battery this morning. The latter craft was badly damaged. Both vessels were filled with crowds for the Lindbergh recep tion. Odes Phillips Dead. New York. June 13. — (A) —Coles Phillips, artist, widely known for his magazine covers, died today. taken aboard the Macon and the city boat, gaily decked in flags, proceeded full speed ahead up the narrows for the Battery. The harbor was filled with craft of all descriptions flutfer-1 ing with flags and welcome banners. As soon as word was received that Lindbergh was on board the Macon, and expected at the Battery within half an hour, the welcome parade was started up town. At the head of the parade were Maj. Gen. N. Haskell and his staff, behind the General and his staff were bronzed regular troops from Fort Hancock, N. J., and Gov ernor’s Island. Then came two com panies of marines, and four of blue jackets from the battleship Colorado, at Brooklyn Navy Yard.’ Behind these were units of the. national guard, nav al nijlitia. reserve officers and veter ans’ organizations. | GENERAL PATRICK HAS PRAISE FOR LINDBERGH Head of Air Corps Speaks of Noted Aviator as “One of Our Boys.” (By International News. Service) Shreveport, La., June 13.—Hailed as the greatest of all aviators, feted, praised, the guest of kings, and in spite of it all retaining that modesty which has won for him people of ail nationalities, Captain Charles Lind bergh is termed by Major General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the United States Army Air Service, as “one of i our boys.” And what a ring of pride in in his voice when he says “Lind bergh.” “Lindbergh is n product of l!ie unit ed States army flying service,” he said when questioned in regard to “Slim’s” early training. “There never was any real doubt in my mind that Captain Lindbergh i would accomplish what he had set out to do. You see, I know liiin. for he is one of *our boys.’ IP; received his training at Kelly Field, Sail An tonio. and I knew him there “He has had six years of flying ex perience, two in the *lr mall service where pilots are required to combat all sorts of conditions and it was the best training in the world for Lind bergh on his ocean flight. "For a man who. had had the fly ing experience that Lindbergh had be i fore his ocean flight, including his I narrow escapes from death by para chute jumps, he is the most modest young man I have ever known. •‘lt was a great feat, made by a young man who is just a sample of the sort of men the United States is I endeavoring to interest in flying. Lindbergh’s feat will be duplicated, of course, in time to come, but I am glad it was one of our boys who was Srst to turn the trick.” 20 PUT TO DEATH FOR OPPOSING SOVIETS Executions Were Reply to “Open Transition of Terrorism” by Soviet Foes.

New York, June 13.— (A*) —The cot ton market opened easy at a dec.ine of 19 to 29 points under heavy selling inspired by reports of rains in west Texas over the week-end.

Private reports pointed to consid erable rain in the southwest, and with uncertainty as to the showing of the detailed weather reports which are ex pected to appear after the close of the market at midday, no doubt con tributed to the nervousness and the disposition to liquidate long contracts during the early trading.

K. kelson, com missioner of fisheries of the state of North Carolina, who for 25 years has commanded the fleet pf the fisheries commission and who is now in com plete charge of the enforcement of the fishing laws of the state as they apply i to commercial fishing in the numerous ; sounds along the coast and in the At ! lantic ocean proper. And he knows every nook and cranny of these sounds jam! inland waters. ! “Captain John,” as he is kliown to ij his friends —and they are legion— makes his base at Morehead City, dur ing the week and has his offices in | one of the newest and most modern buildings in the city, occupying more than half of the second floor in the new post office building. The offices include a suite of some five or six rooms—storage rooms for supplies, records, a main office where the rou tine business is transacted and in which “Captain John” has his desk. He scorns a “private office,” where he would be cramped up. He is accus tomed to being walled in only by the sea, the sky and the horizon. So lie has his desk in x the biggest room of all. Then there is the laboratory in J which the samples of water are ana lyzed and the oyster and shell fish i sanitary condition determined, j In addition there is a small apart | ment with two neat, clean beds and 1 a bath, where “Captain John” may j stay, when necessary. But while i proud of this apartment, he seldom j sleeps in it. It is too stuffy for ; him. It is all right to stay in an , office in the day time, when duty de | mands it —but at dusk the sea calls, I and “Captain John” then goes to his , boat. j And having once been board the , boat, the “Atlantic,” noted its immac ! ulate cleanlinesss, felt the caressing breeze play through its open ports ! and been lulled into perfect relaxa i tion as it swayed lollingly at its moor . ings, one could not blame the captain i for returning to his boat at night. : For “Captain John” has been skipper iof tlie “Atlantic” for 25 years. They 1 have been through thick and thin, ! weathered many a storm together— rain, wind snow and the snug cabin is perhaps more like home to “Captain John” than his own home on his farm at Gloucester.

The engine room, with its ■ spotless engine and polished brass work, is abaft the cabin and the min iature galley, which resemblejs nothing so much as the kitchenette in a mod ern “efficiency” apartment, is aft of the engine room, at the stern. * - There are two men in the crew besides the captain, J. V. Fulford, the engineer, and H. B. Willis, stew • ard and mate. And what meals Willis 1 can turn out of the miniature galley! ’ Blue fish, done to a turn,’hot rolls ! that would put any housewife to shame, and coffee such as only a ship’s cook knows how to make, were * but a part pf the excellent dinner ' Willis had prepared the day your eor -1 respondent last dined with “Captain 1 John” on the “Atlantic.” 1 And how “Captain John” can handle ! that boat! With as much ease as ‘ the ordinary landlubber steers his au ’ tomobile over the highway, the eap : tain steers his boat over the waters < of the sounds or threads in and out ' among the other craft, the boat re -1 s pond ing instantly to his every wish. ■ And he warps it up to a dock as feasily ‘ as a taxi driver parks at a curb. Though an “old timer” in the ways ‘ of the sea and the sounds, “Captain ‘ John” ie modern and progressive and : believes in having things up to the 1 minute. He has his own electric ' lighting system on, board, has a mod -1 ern radio set which he enjoys listen ing to when at leisure in the evenings. And when he ties the “Atlantic” up to her dock at Morehead, he “plugs in” his telephone, so that he can have > complete telephone service from his i cabin without going ashore. When Saturday afternoon comes “Captain John” usually goes home to his farm at Gloucester to spend Sun day with his family and to attend ehurch. For he is a deeply religious man and takes an active part in the work of his church as his duties will permit. Bnt he does not have to take an automobile to get home, though he may. Usually, however, he goes home on the “Atlantic” since his farm fronts on the sound, and he can navigate his boat almost to his door. During the war Captain Nelson and the “Atlantic” were in the service of , the government, the boat having been placed at the disposal of the navy by ■ the state. The work done was chief ■ ly recruiting service, and the captain ■ and his craft went up and down the coast for months enlisting seamen for i the navy. And now on the wall of ; the cabin is a bronze placque presented to him by the government in recogni tion of the service rendered during i the war. .1 Doesn’t Want Marines at Tientsin.

Sir Walter Hotel. Tribune Bureau Raleigh, June 13. —Although sutn -1 mer has struck Raleigh, the Nx>rth 1 Carolina capital, there is the Jack of hum-drum monotony timf marked summer in the capital even a flnzen ; years ago aml certainly gince the grass used to grow between the cobble stones in Fayetteville street. Just now there is a Bible confer , enee on out at Meredith College and the aftermath of the commencement season is just winding up: but, withal, Raleigh has a jaunty, lively appear ance, due to the fact that what the i city formerly lost in population dur ing the hot months has gained in automobiles parading around the Capi tol square, especially in the cool of the evening* Os course, there are still the joy riders but they attract attention only on the principal streets and avenues, where the sound of the cut-out and the horn are quite prevalent and sleep is at a premium. Visitors are beginning to throng the capitol square and lunches are shared with the squirrels and pigeons. The State Museum is another center of attraction. True, the motor vehicle has about eliminated the oldtime train j excursion, but still they come to see the sights of Raleigh, including a group of imposing State buildings thut have sprung up around the 1923 model capitol. Another way in which the auto mobile has helped to enliven Raleigh is the fact that about this time of the year there is much activity here in cident to securing new license tags. This condition brings many visitors daily, there being many who had just as soon bring their cars to Raleigh to be "tagged” as to wait on the mails, which are handled by “just trains” which make, at best, only fifty or six ty miles an hour, being powerfully slow. Then, there are the usual pilgrim ages to the State institutions, with an occasional summer electrocution, and frequent “extras” of local newspapers to determine the “city and suburban circulation.” While there is no extra session this summer to help the laundries make money on melted down collars of newspapermen and others compelled to sit through and while there Is no campaign on, Raleigh is still holding its own and promises at least not to dry up on the stalk during the torrid and possibly arid —if precedent is fol lowed —season which is fast approach ing. The grass is green, the trees are flourishing, the city administration is strongly entrenched and at this writ ing the State College senior who brought charges . against members of the local police force is on his way to ; see the grand jufy, so reports say. ! Raleigh is taking an interest in JJnd ; bergh, jus as any town would that did ! not hai'e the seat of a State goveru- I ment in the middle of it. Colonel Olds has not donned his • summer clothes —white yet, but is expected to within a few more days of this torrid turn of the weather. A new alligator has been added to the State Museum and farmers, are re ported as making money. j All’s lovely in Raleigh, even if Sir Walter did not land here, popular opinion in many quarters to the con trary notwithstanding. 2,000 Greet Airmen at Baden Baden Baden Baden, Germany, June 13.
