DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31,1937.

NEW YEAR’S EVE' IS CELEBRATED New Year Is Observed In Chatham Islands This Morning Welhngleon, New Zealand. Jan 1 1938.- (UP)—The New Yea" flashed across the International date line in the Pacific at 1,000 milee an hour today ami half an hour later had reached here. Some 200 shepherds and fishermen In the Chatham Islands, 414 miles east of New Zealand, celebrated the arrival of 1938 as early workers were going to their jobs in Chicago at 6:30 A. M. the last day of the old. It was 1:30 A. M. December 31 In Honolulu and only 1 a. m. Dec. 31 in American Samoa, just across the dale line from the Chatham. The bell of the little church on Hanson Island pealed out pildnight, and the death of the old year, as Big Ben was tolling noon in Ixmdon. The Chatham Islanda are the nearest point o nthe "new” side of the line to the starting point of I time. This is the British admiralty date line which curves east and west of the 180th meridian of long!tude so that it lies always in the sea. The Chatham Islands are just ■ on the New Zealand side, so that by the time Americans are ready to celebrate new Year’s eve people 1 over on this side will be having New Year dinners. o MUTINY ABOARD — 'nm.'TwrrTi ™nt i>inr he had no money to steel his provisions at ports that he passed, or take them by force as the occas-. ion arose, federal men believed. Apparently he was making for i some South Sea island where his wife could give birth to their child with the nurse in attendance. No one knew what was in his mind except Morgan himself, however, I and he was thrown into the sea, either unconscious or dead, for his mutiny. The federal men had not obtained all the details today, but this I was the tentative story they told: Morgan was a houseman at an apartment building, a 45-year-old adventurer with a 17-year-old wife, I who had no money but who loved ships and dreamed of cruising the South Seas with a boat of his own | to command. He had the knack of impressing people that he was wealthy. He approached FmMing, who was living aboard his yacht in the San Pedro harbor and giving parties there, and who was willing to let his boat for short trips, provided he could be one of the party. Apparently. Morgan had his scheme well fixed in mind before he started. He told Faulding he wanted to charter the boat for a two-day trip around Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles. I He wanted Faulding to be skipper. He and Morgan loaded on provisions for two days. They set sail Dec. 20. Soon after they got underway, I Morgan became quarrelsome, try-| ing to pick a fight with the skipper. The fight soon developed. There were conflicting reports as to whether Faulding was armed. In any event, the federal men learned. Morgan shot Faulding to death with a pistol and left his body lying on the foredeck. One of the passengers was quoted as saying that the fight started over a woman, but federal men considered the point insignificant, inasmuch as Morgan was seeking any pretext to slay the skipper. John Hansori, local chief of the F B. 1., related the survivors’ story. | “They said the Aafje was only a few hours out of San Pedro when Morgan started to intimidate Faulding. He had started quarreling the minute they got out of the harbor. | "Faulding was at the wheel. Morgan, stood bedside him and ordered: ‘You do what I tell you t0 —get away from that wheel. | "Faulding tried to calm Morgan, but it did no goo Ti. Finally, Morgan pulled a gun and shot him. All the witnesses say they saw him do it. They say he shot Faulding several times. 1 “Morgan then intimidated the others at gun point, and locked a but his wife in their cabins. He gave the gun to Mrs. Morgan and ordered her to stand guard over them. He took control of the ship himself.” i The shooting occurred oft ban Clemente Island, one of a chain of small islands within sight of the Southern California coast. The skipper's body apparently lay on deck all night while Morgan turned her nose south, under full sail and with his wife fearfully standing guard, started out to realize his dreams ot advanture. "Next day,” Hanson continued, "Morgan went to the cabins and ordered out the two men, George Spernack and Robert Horne At the point of a gun he forced them I to wrap up Faulding's body in a blanket, made them tie the heavy anchor to the bundle and throw it overboard. ••He locked the men back into their cabins, and sailed on. Mrs.

Morgan managed to slip a little' | food to the prisoners. "On Dec. 24, four days out from! | San Pedro, Horne escaped from his cabin. He got a marlin spike: and hit Morgan on the head with I It. Then Horne und Spernack said they tossed Morgan overboard. "They said they didn't know; whether he was dead; they said they didn't care.’ The Aafje by this time was In the shark infested waters off the west coast of Mexico. Under Mor-1 gan's seamanship, the boat had; sailed 500 miles south from San Pedro and was between 300 and 500 miles offshore. Horne und Spernack headed north again. AI blow took away the Aafje's main- ' sail and Uttered her decs with debris. They were short of food I and water. They painted a large "SOS" on a sail. They dealt out the rations sparingly, and since the coast guard cutter did not reach them until last Wednesday, nine days after i they sailed, it was assumed that the six pasesngers went hungry much of the time. o ARRIVALS Mr. and Mrs. Milton Mendelb-'att lof this city are the parents of a son. 'born at the St. Joseph hospital In Fort Wayne Thursday evening. o CHARGE 3 WITH i JfDNTTNTnirr; KROM PAGW <?NB> the teh emerbn .letaoin shrdluth j three men by use of the mails and ; i instrumentalities of interstate com-; : merer as well as facilities of the exchange, directly and indirectly, effected a series of transactions in - i Auburn stock, "creating actual and ; lapparent active trading in such security and raising the price therej of for (he purpose of inducing the purchase thereof by others.” Communion Service At Church Sunday The communion ot the Lord's Supper will be celebrated at the local Presbyterian church Sunday morning.

storm was the Paul Muni trophy room. The Munis are away and their butler called up Jack Warner's office so excited he could hardly talk. One of the three servants left in charge of the house had forgotten to close the windows In the star’s den.

The devil was to pay, for the walls of the room were covered with the various whiskers and wigs that Muni has worn in his screen career. They were blown all over the place, some of them were mixed up and I others were lost entirely. Studio finally sent Perc Westmore out to look over the damage. He’ll duplicate the lost disguises and Muni will never know anything about the accident unless this item tips him. Anyway, the story was too funny to keep. Rather grim, the way things i work out. In "Hollywood Hotel", Ted Healy taps Louella Parsons on the shoulder and says: “How about a break in your column?” The day after the preview she carried an item mourning the ] actor’s death. How about naming the year’s best performances by child actors? Judy Garland picks 10 and you can make corrections to suit your fancy. Judy’s list is: Freddie Bartholomew in “Captain’s Courageous”, Shirley Temple in “Heidi”, Deanna Durbin in ”100 Men and a Girl”, the Mauch twins in “The Prince and the Pauper", Jackie Cooper in "Boys of the Street”, Mickey Rooney in "Thoroughbreds Don’t Cry”, Jane Withers in “Forty-Five Fathers”, Bonita Granville in “Call It a Day”, Gabriel Dell in “Dead End” and (getting facetious are you, Judy) Fannie Brice’s “Snooks” in “Everybody Sings”.

Robert Taylor’s Christmas present to his mother was a trip to ( Idaho Falls, Idaho, to spend the holidays with relatives. Before she left, however, she and Bob and ; Barbara Stanwyck jumped the gun by having a turkey dinner and unwrapping presents under the tree. The Virginia Bruce-J. Walter Ruben honeymoon was confined to California. They went to Palm Springs for a few days, to San Francisco for a week and finally to Yosemite for the winter sports. Their steamer reservations are cancelled until next summer. Biggest smile on the M. G. M. lot belongs to Lulu, the Negro woman who delivers the mail to the stars’ dressing rooms. She got a Christmas card from Garbo. It came from Sweden in a black envelope addressed in white ink. The card was white, carrying the picture of a silver Christmas tree for ornament, and the initials . G. G. in one corner. If Dietrich makes that picture for Paramount (rumor says she won’t), they'll have to pay her $250,000. . . . Dave Rubinoff and Dorothy Ates are a new twosome around town. ...
