12 ‘BABY FACE’BANDIT ESCAPES IN BATTLE Doody Shoots Police Chief in Chicago Suburb as Com panion Is Seized. the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 27—“ Baby Face" Willie Doody, postal robber, object of one of the most elaborate searches in the history of the local department, shot his way out of the second police trap in three weeks early yesterday, seriously wounding Chief of Police Charles Levy of Berwyn, Chicago suburbs. Doody, who only three weeks ago Shot and wounded Postal Inspector Evan L. Jackson in a northside hotel, was standing beside a stolen automo bile in Berwyn with Eddie Majiewski, a companion, when Levy, with another officer, approached the pair. Before any words had been exchanged, Doody began shooting and the officers re turned the fire. Shooting as he re treated, Doody fled up an alley end escaped, but Majiewski was seized and taken to the Berwyn jail. Crowds soon gathered around the jail, shouting angry threats of lynch ing. and the prisoner was taken to the Oak Park jail to prevent violence. Coincident with the shooting, au thorities revealed that Doody had been the object of a search by 200 Govern ment agents for several months for his suspected leadership in the systematic robbery of dozens of posial substations in and around Chicago. He had been trapped in a hotel when Inspector Jackson entered to arrest him. Doody shot his way out. By coincidence, Jackson was able to leave the hospital for the first time yesterday, after hav ing been near death for days. A Gov ernment reward has been on Docdy’s' head. ALL-WYOMING OPERA LAUDS BUFFALO BILL Western Characters Are Heroes. Music Features Tribal Melo dies of Shoshones. CODY, Wyo. OP).—Buffalo Bill and characters of the early West, are brought to life in an all-Wyoming light opera written and directed by Corrine Barrow Williams of Cody. Tribal melodies of the Shoshone Indians, and tunes of old time fiddlers provide motifs of the musical score. “Cody Big Chief”—the name the Indians gave the famous scout—is the title of the opera, which was presented early In May for the first time under the auspices of the Buffalo Bill Mu seum Association in Cody. Through the composer's close as sociation with the members of the family and old friends of the scout, she was able to weave into her music story much of Col. Cody’s personality and character. Claire Montgomery of Boston, ward of Col. Cody; Wahtahsah, daughter of Chief Washakie, and Broncho Nell, a frontier character, provide the feminine interest in a story which revolves about a stirring Incident of the history of Fort Washakie. The colonel's ward was seized by Indians, incited by an insane medicine man, to be a human sacrifice to the hunger god. This leads to an interest ing denouement. ■■ ■ • • Bull Fight Persists. The custom of bull fighting is not dead in Spain by any means. They may not be as frequent as formerly, but they do take place, and sometimes the events are very thrilling. At the arena in Seville it is regarded as quite an honor for young women to occupy certain boxes which are at the disposal of the fighter and to be regarded as his guest. It is a very fortunate girl who, in addition to this honor has her photograph taken with some distin guished fighter in the group. Society certainly approves and applauds these events. The “Goyesca” is a procession which sometimes precedes the Sunday bull fight, and in this the participants are costumed as the characters which figure in the paintings of the cele brated Spanish painter Goya. More than 150,000 tourists visited Panama last year. * i / There is no mystery \ I about Boscul’s amazing 1 V success i || .
