They Will A ait Hia Fate. The three-cornered race was off instantly. Byrd declared he would not start until Lindbergh either completed hia long hop or failed.

The Bellinca will not fly at all td Paris If the "lucky" captain makes his goal. Shortly before 3 this morning Lindbergh and his corps of mechanics began putting their plane in readiness for the great flight. A heavy rain was falling at the time, but they believed that this was only I local condition and would not last. From hangar which had been carefully guarded against outsiders who might injure her, the Spirit of St. Louia was trundled out to the open and towed to the west end of Roosevelt Held, to the end of a long runway.

Word spread, mysteriously, that the "flying fool" was going to take off and within an hour 2,000 persons had gathered to see him start. A motorcycle squad was called out to keep the growing crowd in order. At 4 the rain atopped. The preparations continued. At 5 mechanics began filling the Ryan plane's tanks with gasoline.

The crowd around the hangar grew to 3,000. The Spirit of St. Louis was trundled further across the field, to take her position. The crowd moved with her, kept away only by the special police. Six o'clock came, and seven.

"Good Luck Old Man Byrd 's Adieu the load he's carrying" One of the escort planes, capable of 105 miles an hour, was left far behind before Lindbergh reached the eastern tip of Long Island and swerve-1 across the Sound, heading out to sea. Route Out of Ship I lie.

In turning the nose of his plane toward the northeast he was almost on his course from the beginning, but he sacriliced a sufety precaution. If he had started the other way and failed to get off the ground or was forced to land after getting Into the air, Curtlss Field, nearby, would have been a safety zone. The "circle course" he took will keep hint out of the iilinsutlantlc ship lane. Traveling light, with only a week supply of army emergency rations, Lindbergh will not be heard from until he lande In Paris. He will follow the compass all the way.

He hoped as he left that he would "get A break" oft Newfoundland, where he was anxious to be able to see land To Lindbergh, "See You in Paris" Well. the boy they rail 'Lucky is off on his great adtentur.

For there ia no doubt he haa the living ability and the courage and the strength and tha endurance to get to Paris. IVronaltt Aimers Colorful. Lindbergh's two pet names were not attached to him merely to add color to an already colorful personality. They called "Lucky because he alwaya has been that. And they dubbed him tha "Klyin Fool' because he alwaya has been that, too.

Any man who haa flown l.00 hours in six yearn la a "flying fool," and no mistake. Any man who haa bunged around with a flying circus and carried air mail and flown In the Army service is a "flying fool. This young captain from out of the West has done all those things, and out In Jt. Louis they haven't much doubt but that he can do the little trick of winging hi way to Paris with the same nonchalance and the same ease that he did the others. Has Hail Four Narrow Ksrapee.

Captain Lindbergh la 25 yeara old but he doesn't look it. He has been flying nix years and he doesn't look that. He has been In accidents (hat came very clone to taking his life four times and he doesn't look either. A a matter of fact, "Lucky" looks like a good-natured youngster who Knows horv to smile and grin about as if he waj a star halfback or something In a hard game on a college gridiron, not a star aviator in a hard ae ff5ihouId hft fail hiS Uf le Is a towhead.

It is just between, sort of a muddy yel low. lie is 6 feet tall. And he has blue eyes. Always Grins Captlvatingly. The grin is the most Infectious thing about htm.

Seems as though Lindbergh is always grinning. Prob ably, if he lands In Paris, he'll step out of the Spirit of St. Louis that's the name of his plane with the grin plastered all over his face, doff his headgear and grin some more. That's the way he came down out of the air on Curtlss Field last week He'd come from the West with almost no advance notices and no one was taking his Paris hop very seriously. Then the Spirit of St.

Louis came rooming from over there where the horizon is, turned a few times over the field and came down In a perfect landing. The tall boy they call "Lucky" looked over the side of the plane and then stepped out. He was grinning from ear to ear. Dropped in Very Casually. "Hello, folks.

Well, I'm here." says he and the other crews which have been fooling around waiting for propitious weather or propitious laws or propitious contracts and what not suddenly woke up to the fact that Capt. Charles Lindbergh, who didn't have a lot of red tape to cut. was a prettv dangrous sort of competitor for the Ortelg $23,000 prize. Curious thing about the Flying Fool. Here in the East, Byrd and Chamberlln and Levlne and Konck and the rest had been getting columns of publicity.

They were going to fly when ready, but lt took them a long Ume to get ready. They were drumming their motors and tuning them up. taking teats and doing this and that, all of which was, of course, very necessary from their point of view. He Does Things Without Fuss. Meanwhile in San Diego Lindbergh had been assembling his Ryan plane and playing around a little with it.

Then one day ho suddenly set out from San Diego and got maybe three lines of copy in some of the newspapers. He whistled through the air to St. Louis, and stopped there to give the home folks a treat, because, you soe, St. Louis business men are backing him In his flight to Paris. Then, the next day, he nonchalantly hopped off for New York, and before any one actually knew much about him, here he waa.

grinning like a courageous Cheshire cat and telling people he'd skip along to PAris whenever he got ready and when he could be sure that the ocean was reasonably clear of heavy lugs. Jumps Nonchalantly Away. "Lucky" stuck around Curtisa Field for about a week. He didn't care so much for the girl fans who flocked out there even turned down a few enthusiastic kisses and hug" from them. He talked to reporters whenever he had time and he grinned all the time.

lie stuck around as the Bellanca crew got jammed up in the contracts and things and then last night nonchalantly strolled into the hotel at Garden City, which has been flying headquarters, to tHl the hoys he'd take off early today. And he grinned as he said it. Well, he hopped off. This youngster with the grin and the good na ture climbed Into the wicker seat of his very unorthodox plane, told 'em UNTERMYER CULLS HIS TRANSIT PROBE Insures Adoption by City! of Any Plan Favored, To Scan Stock Buying. Transportation Chairman John II.

Delaney, who, despite hia lack of legal jurisdiction, ia the only man in public oflic aggressively putting forward constructive policies and actual work on the solution of the traction muddle, has now been called in to help steer Samuel Cntermver and the Slate Transit Commission through tho probe It starts Monday on the subject of readjustment. This was learned in transit circles today, following reports of a Heiies of visits whicli the orchid-wearing prober has been making to Mr. le-laney'a headijuartera on the tup floor of 49 L.afayett st. Delaney JIas Ideas. The news is not surprising to the transit corporations because their heads realized during the recent conferences that, while I'ntermyer was determined to dominate, it was Mr Delaney who was supplying the Ideas.

According to today's report not only Delaney but his whole staflf has been invited to sit in. The invitation extends to Commissioners Daniel Kyan, Frank X. Sullivan and Chief Counsel William G. Fullen probably also to Chief Engineer Itobert Kidg-way, the veteran subway builder. The understanding that the Commissioners are likely to sit on the official bench alongside the presiding State officials.

The move in carrying out to the full the pact made at the first confab at City Hall, when the State Hoard, meeting the Mayor and the Delaney Commission, agreed to work out its it-organization scheme as per city policies. The State Board is said to fce that since the city has veto power it is usoles to put forth any scheme that ia not first approved, and one of the host ways to insure this is to have Mr. Delaney, the city's representative actively associated with every phase of the work. If the li. M.

T. attempts to fight probing by I'ntermyer Into the af fairs of the B. M. T. (holding com pany) as distinguished from the New York Rapid Transit Corporation it Is going to be met by citations from the transit law, which at least purports by its language to give the State Transit Commission jurisdiction over such holding companies.

Untermyer has intimated a desiro to probe the alleged purchases of I. R. T. stock by M. Da hi, chairman the B.

M. T. board of directors; Thomas f'hadbotirne and others connected with Dahl or the B. M. T.

The theory ia that the city must "know the real owners in order to negotiate. The law at the same time, however, sets up the officials of companies as their representatives, and It can be shown that when tho Transit Commission recently signified a willingness to negotiate it had no trouble in reaching apokefmen for the interests of both companies.

'And goodby. all." A mechanic who had been work ing with the St. Louis youth helping in preparing the machine broke out in lumbering, masculine tears which he could not control. From behind the roaring motor the flier shouted to him tuut there was nothing for a man to cry about. The plane, when ft started, carriej 5.160 pounds, thts being about 400 pounds more than it ever had been tested for.

This Included 415 gal- ions of gasoline and 38 of oil, these weighing about 2,400 pounds, so Lindbergh load will be the lighter as distance covered Increases. Hid route about 3,610 miles If he sticks to his course, but his supply of gasoline gives him a 900-mile range for cruising and adverse winds. Plane Well Lqulpped. Lindbergh's plane is equipped with almost every conceivable instrument to aid navigation and make for safety, with the exception of wireless. The nose of the plane Is tipped with hammered aluminum.

The equipment Includes a canteen of water, an inflatable' rubber raft, an earth inductxr compass, a magnetic compass, a curve and bank indicator, a rate of climb Indicator, an air speed Indicator, a gachometer, a thermometer, an oil pressure gauge, a clock, an altimeter and a speed and drift meter. Calls Plane Death Chamber. This young man from Missouri is no unimaginative youth without any thought of the danger which he incurs. Chief Abram W. Skidmore of the Xnssau County police told about walking with Lindbergh across the field half an hour before the start.

"Well, kid." said Skidmore to him, "you're about to hop off, 1 see. Well. when you come back we'll give you one grand reception." There was half a moment of si lence. Then said Lindbergh "When I get Into that plane. It will be like going Into the death chamber.

And If I get to Paris, it will be like a pardon from the Governor." Not a Bit Nervous. To Byrd, Acosta. Clarence D. Chamberlln the Columbia's pilot. who was also there to wish him God speed and the others, he showed no nervousness or fear.

Not even. apparently, any excitement. Th" mechanics had told him his machine was in good shape, and he decided, "I might aa well go Once clear of the ground. Lindbergh, flying between 600 and 600 feet in the fog. kept up a rato speed that accompanying pilots characterized as considering te twist the propeller, grinned fr aide a little, turned on tha gas and started make history maybe die.

One it the Idea that the Fixing Fool is the mainspring of this trip, not the machine in which he is riding. He la the youngest of all the entrants for the prize. He is a postwar product of aviation. "Lucky" was born In Detroit on Feb. 4.

1902, and he waa 19 yeara old when he decided he guessed he'd learn to fly. He took a course in the Army and waa graduated with the reputation of being about aa good a pilot aa the Army had turned out. Is a 33d Degree Caterpillar. Next he went to wort; with a flying circus. Early In 19-4.

at Brooks Field. San Antonio, he got mixed up with an unmanageable plane and he leaped down in a parachute to safety. That got him into the famous Caterpillar Club the aviation organisation of men lucky to he alive. Since then, however, he's picked up three more stars, the Caterpillar Club giving the airman who beats death a star for every time he does it. He has had to leap for life a total of four times.

After the flying circus, Lindbergh joined the Air Mali Service, flying with the Western division from St. Ixiuis to the Coast. He had the fourth accident about six weeks before he began to work on the l'aris idea. Mother Sure He'll Reach Goal. The person who gives him the most support is Mrs.

Evangeline L. Lindbergh of Detroit, his mother. She has flown with him, and her confidence in the youngster is marvelous. She'll tell you that there can be no doubt at all that her son will iand Bafely in Paris. But tripping along in an airplane from New York to Paris is no easy Job.

If the young captain wins, he's going to need a lot of the luck which has stuck by him. He's a great aviator, that's sure; but any one who takes this trip is going to need Lady Luck's presence with him. Well, they call Lindbergh "Lucky. And he's started on his great adventure. CONCERN THAT BUILT CIVIL WAR MONITOR QUITTING BUSINESS The Continental Iron Works, In whose yards, at Calyer and West! the famous Civil War ship the Monitor, was built, is retiring from active business and is now in proc- esa of dissolution.

The American Welding Company, a subsidiary of the American Car and Foundry Com pany, has purchased part of the 1 business of the Continental Company and other parts are said to be In process of sale. It Is believed that the company's valuable property which fronts on the East River has been sold. Officers of the Continental Iron Works would not discuss its future or confirm the reports of sale. The American Welding Company has purciiased from the Continental Company the special machinery use 1 in the famous Morlson Suspension Furnaces and Morison Patent Furnace Doora. It is moving the machinery to its plant at Carbondale, Pa.

The Continental Iron Works was established in I8i9 and during its first years was engaged primarily Jn the construction of wooden vessels. During the Civil War it built the original Ericsson Monitor in 100 days. As wooden ships became passe, the company turned lo the construction of steel vessels and later, when shipbuilding declined, it turned to the construction of ga holders, gas-pro lucing plains and various other things. It was one ol the first companies to build welded pipes for gas and water mains. iSINNOTT ESCAPES JAIL Harold Sinnott.

City Tel. Cortlandt 0744 Here is Charles Lindbergh, his plane. The insert is a closeup ber. Commander Byrd, Bert Acosta and Lt Richard O. Noville, who are to fly the America together, came to the tall Missourian's side, slapped him on the back, wished him luck.

Byrd was as enthusiastic as if it were his own flight which was about to begin. went over the Instruments for a last checkup, and these were made accurate to a hairline, so Goldsborough reported. Talks With Fokkcr. Ed Mullignn. Kenneth Lane, Kenneth Boedeeker and "Doc" Kincade, Wright ensinemen, continued pour ing gasoline through the slot in the center of the wingspread.

careful not to miss a drop. Only a little gasoline might prove to be the difference between a safe landing and a perilous misadventure at sea. Lindbergh sat and coolly munched his sandwici), picked out of a bag. Anthony Fokker, eminont plane designer und the America's builder, drove up in his dinky, squat Dutch motor and checkerboard knickers and Lindbergh and he engaged in conversation for about 20 minutes. Lindbergh seemed to realize that he waa talking to one of the foremost aeronautic experts and scientists of the day.

Fokker doubtless offered the dashing young aviator consider able advice. There was this to do and that to do. Mulligan pumped up the tires on the landing wheels. Two of the others wiped the dew off the wings. Some one rushed up to Lindbergh with tbe latest weather bulletin, reporting the same old fogs around the Newfoundland Grand Banks.

The linera Berengaria and George Washington, 1,800 miles out, sent word that the ocean was smooth, but that it was beginning to rain and mod erate southwest and west winds prevailed. The photographers pressed close. One of them shouted for Lindbergh, who must have been thinking of the grave gamble he was about to take. to pose. But the nier apparently didn't hear.

He started right for his cockpit. But, as he was opening the door he saw them lined up. smnea and waved. They "shot" hurt that wav. He stepped Into his airplane.

For a minute or two the motor hummed perfectly, "tuning up." Lindbergh settled back in the cockpit. A nod or two. a flutter of hands, and he was off. And so unexpectedly that the America, which was to have escorted him, had no time to rise. The crowd dispersed solemnly.

It hod seen a young man It liked and admired and it wished It could be sure where he was bound to. Raymond Jr. and Jean Ortelg. sons of the Paris flight prise donor, were on the field. Difficulties In Starting.

The Kyan machine went forward slowly at first and as the motor whined and the propellera raced around, her sneed increased. For half mile she went, hugging the Once she rose slightly, then bumped to earth. A breathless gasp from the spectators, some of whom remembered that on this very route the Riant Sikorsky plane, starting on the stme kind of mgnt was burned to ashes eight months ago. But thla time there was no trag edy. Moving speedily, she lurched once and rose again: a few Inches, a few feet.

The wheels of the landing gear were clear but no, they settled back with another bump. Was this to fall after all? Again they rose, this time with smoother, swifter motion. She went up. There could be no question about it: sne was off. There was no nonsense about this start.

Lindbergh wasted no time In ceremonies, In circling about the field or anything like that. The nose of the plane headed straight east for his far goal across tne ocean. He had Just cleared Whaleneck toppling telephone and electric wires by a few feet, but It was enough. And he was off. Loses Lighter Planes.

Half a dozen other planes, much lighter than his, rose to escort him At their top speed they pursued, but soon lost hltn. After having gone about a mile out, he veered to the northeast and disappeared In a haze toward the hidden sun. Byrd stood on the ground and, lllti the thousands of others, wished the reckless young man lurk and a sue-cessful end to his flight. "Ood be with him," ha said. "I hope he gets there.

He probably will, lt was a beautiful start con sidering the big load he carried. He li a splendid chap and 1 certainly hope he make it. ciroveV Whalrif, personal represen tame of Kodman Wanamaker, back "Good luck to you, old man," he said. "I'll see you in Paris." Lindbergh, not much of a talker, smiled back at him. Bellanca Brought Out.

Byrd went back to his own hangar and had the America brought out. The motors started, ready to go as an escort to that other machine for a small part of the way. There had been rumors that the America would herself take off today, but this Byrd definitely denied. It couldn't be done. There had been rumors also that the Columbia might make the start, and actually that moaoplane, in Cur-tiss Field near here, was brought out with the purpose of setting off.

But with her, also, that was changed. These are both larger machines than the Spirit of St. Louis, with her wing-span of 46 feet and length of 28 feet, and they were to have two and three men, respectively, to, drive them. Lindbergh went alone, trusting only in himself and the sturdiness of his machine. He will take the "circle course," by way of Newfoundland, then to Ireland and southeast to Paris, thus doubling back on the route which the gallant Frenchmen, Nungesser and Coli, attempted to follow.

Lindbergh's problem is, perhaps, more difficult than was theirs. Like ihe French fliers, he has no radio to send distress signals if anything goes wrong, but unlike them he has no second man to relieve him at the wheel during the long 36 hours ahead, or to combine efforts if the plane should be forced to alight too soon. Sandwich His Breakfast. The Missouri captain breakfasted on a sandwich before he started. He had dinner at 8 last night and that, he thought, was enough.

He went to bed at II and arose at 2:15 The three hours of sleep were all he wanted. After the Spirit of St. Louis reached the startlntr point, 200 gal-lon gasoline were added to her 'tanks, making a total of 445. p.iy- irenjt came ana pawed. A thin mist.

If steamship captains at sea and pople on land Bee the letters and figures flash across the sky they will know that they have seen the Spirit of St. Louis winging its way to Paris.

The big letters and figures, painted on both sides of Captain Lindbergh's plane, are the most distinguishing markings of bis cratt. uniy us name and the name of Its maker (Kyan) are Its other marks. From everything one can Judge of Lindbergh, his desire to blaze a new trail tn aviation, to win fame and achievement are the surging motives which drove him on his undertaking.

Hop Off Unexpected. Just when the Missouriun made up his mind to Jump off this morning is still a mystery.
