Collecting of Autographs Pleasant and Profitable

„ ic , “<>■<***. Mi - J t, H; U*. or

BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON AUTOGRAPH collecting is a popular and quite often profitable pastime that present a fascinating and unlimited field to those who make it their hobby. Autograph albums w'ere known as early as 1466 and one in the British museum is dated 1578. They also were fashionable in the middle of the last century and many of these albums are cherished today because of their amusing original verse, beautiful script, and illustrations of flowers and birds made w r ith Spencerian *strokes.

The album fad is continued today especially for autographs of contemporary celebrities and the exchange of signed sentiments between schoolmates. The desire to collect signatures has led, many times, to serious collecting, which embraces the assembling of important documents and letters that have figures in world events. Charles E. Thomas of Indianapolis, in his capacity as editor of The Delta, official organ of the Sigma Nu fraternity, has had occasion to correspond with many persons of national importance. In this way he has acquired some valuable and interesting specimens, as letters written by a notable to another person of prominence or to the collector himself are considered the cream of a collection. Thomas has letters from authors, artists, scholars, and politicians, including such eminent personages as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and Dr. Francis Dana Coman, who went with the last Byrd expedition as medical adviser. With his letter Dr. Coman sent a silk United States flag. ana in'. VERNON SMITH of the W. K. Stewart Company has collected documents that figure in the making of Indiana history. They ere especially interesting from legal and banking angles. A petition signed by David Floyd in 1820 asks executive clemency for Samuel Smith of Corydon, whose plea states: “I was compelled to fight or run and will endeavor in the future to be more reserved.” Governor Jonathan Jennnings signed the remission of his fine. Governor William Hendricks writes from '‘Washington City” in 1839 to Bethuel F. Morris, cashier of the Indiana Branch bank at Indianapolis, the parent bank being at Madison at that time. A letter from Governor Noah Noble in 1839 to Harvey Bates introduces Colonel Posey of Rush county, and says of him: "He is the leading trader in the county and in fine circumstances.” Colonel Posey is an ancestor of Posey B. Denning of this city. Autograph and stamp collecting are much alike in their many divisions and possibilities for specialization. Often the hobbies overlap also, for many of the stampless covers are as valuable as the autographs they contain. James M. Buchanan's signature was on letters sent from Baltimore, where he was postmaster in 1845. These are rated both as stamps and autographs and catalog from SI,OOO to $12,000. a a a THE most noted collection possible in United States autographs is composed of a complete group of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The autographs of two of the signers, Thomas Lynch and Button Guinnette, are very rare, which limits the number of possible collections. They also are expensive, as a Guinnette priced at $lB5 in 1886 sold in 1926 for $28,000. Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago owns a precious set of these'signers, but most of those, assembled have been presented to museums or libraries. Signatures of the Constitution

sponsors also make a popular and valuable collections, as do those of Presidents, senators and similar groups of notables. Rarity rather than age influences the value of an autograph—which is true of everything collectible. One of the most valuable presidential autograph is a holograph letter from President Harding, for in this age of the typewriter a hand-written letter from any one of prominence is uncommon. Not only may autograph collecting have a momentary return, but in studying the letters and documents of the past much history may be learned, as well as much insight into the character and personality of the history makers. Quite often the sentiments of the builders of our nation are startling in their modern significance. In autograph collecting its adherents have a fascinating and satisfying pursuit to engage their enthusiasm and efforts. The genuine signature of a famous personage is an impressive reminder of a life that has in some way influenced history, art, or the sciences. If such signature should embellish a letter, deed, grant, or agreement that represents a milepost in development of a country’s growth of progress, it is of added importance and value. NEGRO LAD IS FIRST DROWNING VICTIM Boy of 7 Dies in Canal; Misses Boat in Leap. Charles Woods, 7, Negro, 1010 West Twenty-sixth street, was drowned early Sunday night in the canal at the aqueduct, the first death in water recorded in Indianapolis this spring. William Goff. 624 Langsdale street, a witness of the tragedy, said the Woods boy fell into the water when he missed a flatboat after a leap from the aqueduct. Goff, his son William Jr. and Gladys Vance, 12, of 26 McLean place, were on the canal bank when the boy jumped. Unable to swim, Goff went on the boat and reached beneath it after seeing the Woods boy disappear. The body was recovered 300 feet from the boat, after an hour’s search by a fire department rescue squad commanded by Captain George M. Townsend. Identity was established by a brother, Luther Woods.

SCANLAN GETS

2 TO U YEARS FOR LARCENY State Blocks Last-Minute Attempt of Attorneys for Leniency. Eyes downcast and hands trembling James C. Scanlan, head of the auto company 'oearing his name, today stood in criminal court receiving a sentence of two to fourteen years for grand larceny and heard the state of Indiana block lastminute efforts of his counsel to obtain leniency. Scanlan recently was found guilty by a jury on the larceny count of an indictment charging conspiracy in the financing of automobiles. Today, Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, warned Fred Barrett and Thomas McGee, defense attorneys, that if an appeal is taken, the state will try Scanlan on another count of the indictment. State Flings Threat ‘‘There is a question as to whether this man (Scanlan) has been advised correctly by his attorneys,” Mattice charged as actions for a new trial and arrest of judgment were filed by the defense. ‘‘He should have pleaded guilty,” Mattice contended, "and if an appeal to the supreme court is taken we not only will try him on another count of the indictment—we w'ill oppose his release on bond, pending action on the appeal.” “This man is not a criminal,” McGee had asserted in a plea for mercy. ‘‘He was ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul,’ and he was forced into the situation in which he found himself, by the exigencies of business complicated by the depression. Society will not be hurt if he is given a suspended sentence.” 111, Attorneys Claim Barrett added that Scanlan is ill, suffering from tuberculosis in an advanceu stage. ‘‘The court has no alternative but to pronounce the sentence mandatory in the jury verdict, Clyde Karrer, special judge, answered, adding a fine of $1 and costs. Karrer also said he could not act on Scanlan s plea that he not be taken to jail in the chain gang of other prisoners, the customary procedure for conveying prisoners to jail from court. When the state’s resistance to an appeal was made so plain by Mattice, McGee said the defense would reconsider its intention.
