Bu United Press BETHLEHEM Pa„ June 14.—Andy Brooks, 29, New York robber, under arrest in St. Luke’s Hospital here suffering from a bullet wound received in a battle with police, was in a serious condition today, shot a second time as he attempted to escape last night. Brooks with Samuel Davis, 32, was captured last night after a pistol duel in which Brooks was shot in the leg. He was placed in the hospital under guard. An anonymous telephone call to police yesterday said an attempt would be made to rescue Brooks last night and extra guards were placed on duty. The sound of an automobile driving through the grounds seemed to be a signal for which Brooks waited. He leaped from his cot and, limping painfully, attempted to run down a corridor. He ignored an order to halt from Policeman Henry, who was guarding him. Henry fired, the bullet striking Brooks in the back and emerging from his chest below the heart.

Sister to Join Alaska's Only Commercial Flier

Bn \EA Service SAN DIEGO, Cal., June 14.—Marvel Crosson is going to Alaska to join her brother Joe. Joe is Alaska’s lone commercial aviator. His sturdy biplane has replaced dog sledge and stage coach in many parts of the United States’ most northerly possessions; during the past year he has flown more than 35,000 miles. And now Marvel, his adventurous young sister, is. going to join him and fly with him. Joe and Marvel have been interested in aviation for years. Together they learned to fly; together they studied airplane construction and design. Then, a year ago, when Joe went to Alaska to establish his air line. Marvel stayed in the United States to act as his purchasing agent. Spare parts for his airplane, on whose careful selection ilepended

Lindy Serious Person, Photographer Asserts

Flyer’s Face Not Naturally Smiling One, Says Portrayer. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, June 14.—Deadly serious is the face of young Charles Lindbergh in the one studio portrait for which he has posed since he came home to America. This is not chance. There is good reason for it, says the man whose business it is to know such things. W. W. Campbell of the Harris & Ewing studio posed the picture. It is his business, he says, to study the people he portrays and to reflect in his work the character and characteristics he finds in their faces. Young Lindbergh is a deadly serious person, he says. Campbell chatted with Lindbergh to see if he could draw out the winning smile that a few snapped pictures have shown. He did not succeed. Lindbergh was friendly antJwbliging. He moved about in different postures. He was not at the time either tired or hot or bored. “But he was serious. Now Taft's face, for instance, smiles easily and frequently,” says Campbell. “Lindbergh’s is simply another sort of face. It does not fall naturally and habitually into similing lines.” It is significant perhaps, that most of Lindy’s laughing pictures have been taken when he was just entering or leaving a plane. In his quick analysis, Campbell found Lindbergh a person who thinks things over and plans instead of acting hastily. He found him a person with decided opinions. For instance Llndy has made up his mind that pictures with folded arms “don’t go so well.” So he don’t fold his arms. He is a little deaf, too, and does not respond readily when he is addressed. “There is no trace of elation in Lindbergh’s manner. He appears simply conscientious and polite, and utterly unassuming,” says Campbell. CLASS HEARS DANIELS Former Navy Secretary Addresses Earlham Graduates. Bu Ttsnrs Special RICHMOND. Ind., June 14.—Josephus Daniels, Secretary of Navy under President Wilson, addressed the graduating class of Earlham College here Monday, when eightyfive seniors received degrees. Daniels pleaded for world peace, and declared that “principles of the League of Nations never can die.” Contributions to the Earlham endowment fund, announced by President D. M. Edwards, included gifts by the following Indianapolis residents: Edward W. Evans, $10,000; J. P. Frenzel, $5,000; Ella Taylor Wilson, SIO,OOO. The fund total now is $1,212,103.

his life, have all been bought and forwarded to him by Marvel. Meanwhile, she has been flying her own plane, perfecting herself as a pilot in preparation for the day that now is almost at hand. Flying a commercial route over Alaska is more dangerous than doing the sanve thing in the states. Joe’s base is at Fairbanks. He is the chief means of communication between that city and many isolated points in the interior. Often he has bearded prospectors as passengers; sometimes he carries a doctor, a roving mining inspector. At times his plane bears a small fortune in gold dust, gathered in some far-distant spot. Generally Joe flies at night. For up in those far northern latitudes it is often light 1,000 feet from the ground while it is dark night below. On the average. Joe reports, flying conditions in Alaska are better at night than in the daytime.

EUROPEAN WAR EXISTS, POLAND MINISTER SAYS 11 Lithuanian Relations Tense Over Acquiring of Vilna, One View. BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA. June 14.—A state of war exists in Europe of which the world in general is unaware, August Zaleski, Polish foreign minister, revealed today in an interview, in which he detailed Poland’s relations with neighbors. Lithuania, he said, still insists that wftr exists with Poland over Vilna, which Poland acquired from Lithuania. Poland, on the other hand, Zaleski said, insists that peace prevails between them. Asking Peace O. K. “We recently sent a note to Lithuania,” he said, “asking that she officially recognize peace with Poland. "Relations with all our neighbors are satisfactory. I am convinced that the Soviet note on Vlikoff’s (Soviet minister to Poland) assassination furnishes the basis of an amicable settlement of that incident, as the Soviet’s three demands already have been accepted by Poland." He said Poland's relations with Germany were “fully normal” and that all questions had been except certain economic ones “so™ which an amicable solution always can be found.” Basis Difficult Because Poland's exports are agricultural and Germany’s manufactured, it will be difficult to find a basis for establishing a trade balance between the two, Zaleski explained. But “we expect to succeed,” he said. Poland’s relations with the Little Entente, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slo-vakia end Roumania, are the best, he said, in spite of the fact that Poland is not a member of it. Poland, he said, cither has individual treaties with the members or has established by other means the friendliest relations. Negotiations have been under way with Russia a long time, he said, for a treaty of non-aggression.
