BIRTHDAY FETE TO HONOR FLIER i IN N. T. TONIGHT Hotel Bakes Huge Cake for Baron Huenefeld; Is 36. BREMEN PALS INCLUDED Official Washington Acclaim to Be Received by Sky Heroes Wednesday. Bu United I’rrss NEW YORK, May I.—Thousands of miles away from his fatherland Baron Gunther Von Kuenefeld today will celebrate his thirty-sixth birthday. He observes this event in a city that with 1 open hearted enthusiasm has displayed he has won a place in American hearts through the j courageous flight of the airplane Bremen across the North Atlantic. | The baron and his two comrades | of that expedition, Maj. James j Fitzmaurice and Capt. Hermann j Koehl, had a more quiet day today j than was that festive celebration Monday. The three visited the Pulitzer Bldg, where they were received by Ralph Pulitzer and executives of the New York World and North American Newspaper Alliance. They were accompanied by Bernt Balchen and j C. A. (Duke) Schiller. Huge crowds continued t<? follow the heroes today. Leaving the Pulitzer Bldg, shortly after noon they were taken down into the financial district where they laid wreaths on the statue of George Washington in the subtreasury building. Streets were thronged with lunch hour crowds and there was a small | scale renewal of the ticker tape and i torn paper storm which had en- ! gulfed the fliers during their formal | reception Monday. The fliers then proceeded to call J on the British and German con- j sulates. The hotel learned of Von Kuene- j feld’s birthday and has baked a birthday cake for the occasion. Night of Excitement The three fliers and Mrs. Koehl, j Mrs. Fitzmaurice and little Patsy ' Fitzmaurice will attend the celebra- I tion. Tonight the distinguished group will be guests of honor at a municipal dinner at the Commodore Hotel. Wednesday they will go to Washington to receive the Nation’s honors. Monday was a tumultuous and soul-stirring day for this trip c:f adventurers. After the great celebration of greeting, when New York welcomed wholeheartedly the two men who were America’s enemies only a short ten years ago, and their Irish comrade, they had a night of excitement. With Mayor James J. Walker they went to one of the gay musical shows and were entertained by a bevy of New York’s clever and pretty chorus girls. Then they went to the Shar-key-Delaney fight at Madison Square Garden. No sooner had they been seated than someone spied them and the shouting that had rung in their ears throughout the day was resumed. The 15,000 fight fans ignored the ring and shouted a glad acclaim. Cheered at Prize Fight Finally Joe Humphreys, the veteran Garden announcer, looked over to where the three sat and said: “Come on Fitz.” _ j The shouting started again as the grinning Fitzmaurice led his two German pals of the air to the ring. Fitz showed an alacrity in going through the ropes, but heavy set Koehl experienced difficulty in climbing into the ring. “I am proud of the privilege to introduce the two monarchs of the air, Major Fitzmaurice, the Irishman, and Captain Koehl, the German, sons of the two greatest countries on earth,” Humphries said. The crowd yelled and stamped its approval and kept up such a bedlam that it was almost five minutes before Humphries could continue his speech and include the baron. Municipal Station WNYC will broadcast New York’s dinner in honor of the crew of the trans-At-lantic monoplane Bremen direct from the Hotel Commodore tonight. WNYC’s microphone will be connected to the banquet hall at approximately 7:30 p. m. central time. Extend Flier’s Leave B’j United Press DUBLIN, May I.—Maj. James Fitzmaurice, commandant of the Irish Free State air service and a member of the trans-Atlantic airplane Bremen crew, has been granted an additional month’s leave or absence. He is expected to remain in the United States for some time, visiting American cities with his German comrades, Baron Gunther Von Huenefeld and Capt. Hermann Koehl.

here Monday night explained why he charged E. S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon League head with violating the corrupt practices act in an action filed Monday in St. Joseph Circuit Court. “The statement in the American Issue that I am ‘wet of record’ is a complete falsehood,” Gilliom said. “No person of truth, will say that I ever was or that I now am wet.” The attorney general declared Shumaker’s appraisal of him was a violating of the corrupt practices act and “I intend that the one responsible for the publication of this malicious falsehood shall answer to the State for his crime.” Shumaker, Gilliom charged, Is working in harmony with Hiram Evans, Klan wizard, to nominate “the wizard’s choice for Senator.” The reference was to Senator Ar-

Ralph Kane, Indianapolis attorney and Gilliom’s campaign manager, insisted in a speech that “the prosecution of Dr. Shumaker is not political.” The attorney took Shumaker to task for referring to him (Kane) as a “liquor lawyer.” “That statement is a falsehood,” Kane declared. “If it were true, the people are not interested, as I am not a candidate. “But if I am objectionable to Shumaker because I am described as a liquor lawyer, how can he reconcile this attitude toward me
