L* T* ,'jN0C0 oil BROAicAST - Friday 3/f F/F .3 Good Evening, Everybody: One of the most sensational crimes of the year w&t« <v>nvn in Chica_ ^ l motorcar was driving through the heart of the Loop carrying two messengers of the Federal Reserve Ban'-: and a couple of n:eil bags. At one of the busiest corners in the Loop another automobile carrying six bandits drew up alongside the Federal Reserve messengers. The bandits forced the messengers to the curb, then let out a heavy smoke screen. Thereupon they no red the noses of three machine guns at those Federal Reserve messengers, jumped out, grabbed the mail bags and jumped back into their own car. car banged into another au omobile holding six people, ine At that juncture a couple of policemen appeared on the scene. The mowed them down with their machine gune, .-..illing On their way west a few minutes later thebanditsf bandits carromed that automobile into a telephone pole LEAP - 2 policemen and wounding another. Then they stopped^assing car and escaped in it. Now officers of the City of Chicago of Cook County and of Uncle Sam* a Government are on the look-out for those six hand it a. It is believed their leader was George "Machine Gun" Kelly, of the Bailey-Underhill gang that kidnapped Charles Urchel, the oil multi-millionaire of Oklahoma City. The etidence that leals the authorities to this belief is the finding of a road map of the whole country with the roads in Kansas and Oklahoma heavily marked. Whoever the robbers were, the joke is on them as they have probably realised by this time. Por the two mail bags that they stole from those Federal Reserve messengers contained nothing but cancelled checks. NBC SONUS T_i.at bug beaj* of politicians, the cash bonus for veterans, is in again. It reared its bogy head in Washington today. The Commander-in-Chi- f of the Veterans of Foreign ;ars, sent a request to President Roosevelt to call a special session of Congress, the purpose of that special session being to pass legislation for the immediate payment of the cash bonus certificates. Inasmuch as there are three and a half million veterans, the .sum that it would cost us cg pay the certificates amounts to the modest little total of two and one half billion dollars.

The New York Giants cinched the xxx National League the early part of this week, and now the Washington Senators have the American League pennant in their poc-'ets. If they lose every game from now to the end of the season they still can*t lose the pennant, So on October Srd the World Series will begin at the Polo Grounds in New York City between Bill Terryrs fighting New York Giants, and the equally pugnacious Senators owned by the veteran Clark Griffith and managed by Joe Cronin. -x- n *• And except for that World Series, from now in our interests will be focused on football. For tomorrow is the beginning of Nin : Football’s 19GL reign. One new element in this season wnich is quite welcome is that for the first time in many years aamission SPORTS - £ prices will be reduced.

Among the important games tomorrow will be those i£jL betva-r:n^University of California and the University of Santa Clara; between uregon State and V.illamette; and between Leland Stanford and San Jose. Those will be the most interesting games in the West.

The scrrp, of course, is all about the mayoralty election. As I mentioned the other night, the Tammany tiger :vas sadly jarred in the primary elections. Nevertheless, the Teaaany leaders stick by their guns and insist on trying to re-elect the pres nt Mayor of Gotham, tov S&samtsBmzeagadE-pjtsam* * -^i-irri OfBrien. Well, the xeoc setback the Tammany leaders rot in the primaries has stimulated the rebellious element in the wigwam and produced an JSLefodin-'ly interesting situation. The leaders remain loyal to the present Mayor, but the 3ggfeK±±±rrarey rebels want to elect that brilliant and urbane celebrity, Mr. Grover klialen. I suppose it is hardly necessary to tell you that Mr. Whalen is one of the most n .gYa - y»fhi ^ ^ men in New Yor e City• At present ne is functioning as ^es York Chairman of toe N.R.A.

He attracted my attention because he was such a soldierly looking chap^ the very figure of the bronzed and grizzled veteran of years of war and adventure — and I liked the twinkle in his eye. He had a bristling grey mustache of the sort you see on old-time British sergeants. What he told me bore out entirely the impression he gave, ^e said he had been a soldier and then a sailor for fifty years. And he reeled off a whole string of wars he^d fought in, romantic campaigns that we read about with wonder — against the Mad Mullah in Somaliland where he served under victory in the Boer War. In fact he was in all sorts of battles in Africa. *es, and he even fought on the Road to Mandalay, in the Burmese wars, in the land of pagodas, in the Third Dragoon Guards. In the Great War he was orderly to Lord Aiienby in Palestine, right up to the capture of Bethlehem the Afghan border in India, the Matabele v/ars, the campaign >wqVYounghusbandi |ie was with the Imperial Light Horse in the first K and Jerusalem. What a record! As a matter of fact he was with Allenby forty-six years ago in India, when Allenby was a young captain in theThird Dragoon Guards. Before he was a soldier he spent many years at sea on British and American ships. He sailed in the American full-rigged ship "the Paul Revere" in the Calcutta trade, carrying jute from India to New York. He calls himself a "blue-nose *1 because he was born in Maine and brought up on the coast of Nova Scotia. I asked him: "How about coming with me to the studio some night and stepping to the microphone for a word or two?" He replied that he had never been a man of words but heM do it. And so I have him here now, the grizzled old veteran, Patrick Tayleur. And I am going to ask him to name ? . .. , his most thrilling experience.

It was something like ^ ovltx Custer’s last stand^here- in-the Cta^cs* And I was one of the six men who came back to tell the tale. It was in the first Matabele war. The Matabeles were one of the most warlike tribes in South Africa. Their king was old Lobengula, and he was stirring up trouble. We were thirty-nine men to begin with. Captain Wilson and Major Willoughby were in command. We were a detachment of the Bechuanaland Border Police. And on the 12th of September, 1893, we were riding along, deep in the Matabele country. They fell upon us suddenly, a thousand warriors, a thousand black devils. We were trapped in the bush. We fought as well as we could and tried to hold them of i, but it was no use. They swarmed on us from all sides, stabbing and CAPT. TAYLEUR - 2 spearing v.ith their assegai. Captain Wilson was killed and so v*as Majoi Willoughby, and one by one our men fell beneath the Matabele spears. Six of us escaped, got away through the bush and across the Shanganie River on horseback before they could catch us. When we returned to civilization we were treated as heroes. That was a day of glory, forty years ago when I was one of the survivors of Wilson*s Last Stand, as famous in South African history as Custer*s Last Stand is here. in Aaserloa* It has been great fun, my boy.

The N.R.A, Administration was informed today that in future the Ford A factories are oing to operate on a basis of a week of only thirty-two hours. The N.R.A. Code specifies a forty hour week. A thirty-1' o hour week means only four days. PARADE is going to have an interesting spectacle tomorrow. That will be the parade and reunion of the Seventy-seventh Division, the famous New York Seventy-seventh of which the historic lost battalion is one of the units. This parade and reunion is to celebrate the eve of the anniversary of the terrific battle of the Argonne. They expect to have five thousand of those Seventy-seventh men in line. Dr. Vvagner.

In the forthcoming issue of Colliers, which gives us a new picture. ^It seems that His Royal Highness has got the English Tories worried. Not because of the way he falls off his horse, or because of his olf game, or his dancing.
