AIR MAIL PILOTS RESCUED AFTER NIGHT ON LAKE Two Fliers Are Unharmed Despite Harrowing Accident. By United Pres* - GRAND HAVEN, Mich., Dec. 30. <—Two airmail pilots arrived here on the coast guard cutter Escanaba yesterday with tales of sea sickness and freezing while they clung to their plane, which was forced down on Lake Michigan. Pilot H. D. (Pat) Gosset, Detroit, and co-pilot Ben W. Craycraft were rescued from their ship last night, •fifty-three miles off shore. Their plane, in which they were making a regular run from Milwaukee to Grand Rapids, was abandoned in sinking condition when a wing submerged, making further towing impossible. The cutter picked them up at 12:05 a. m. yesterday near the spot where they were forced down by engine trouble about 5:32 p m. Thursday. The men were unharmed and considerably refreshed when they arrived here aboard the cutter. “One of our wing pontoons was washed away about 8 o’clock last night,” Gossett said. “We were forced to move out of the cabin on to the other wing to stabilize the ship.” “The cabin shipped a little water, but the wing was almost dry except for the spray.” The ship rode well on the moderate ground swell, but Gossett said he suffered from sea-sickness. Both men showed signs of nervous strain, NEGROES FETE EMANCIPATION Celebration to Be Staged at City Church on Monday.

New York and Holywood the other day named the world’s ten best dressed men—and the prince of Wales was not on any list.

Sir Austen Chamberlain, former British foreign secretary. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Philadelphia. The British Marquess of Cholmondeley. Sir J. W. Buchanan Jardine, British sportsman.

None of Selections Stout King George, who by tradition ought to be the fashion setter, voted himself out many years ago when he appeared In public with his trousers pressed down the sides instead of the front. He never was forgiven. Prince George was not on the London list, although he was mentioned as the best dressed member of the royal family. All the nominees appear well in anything they wear, tailors say. None is stout. London has more nominees than New York because Hollywood spent almost all its votes on movie actors.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LADY LUCK IS VICTORIOUS IN JUSTICE TILT Drunkenness Charges Are Dropped Despite Damaging Evidence. Lady Luck and the earnest pleas of friends served to get Omer Haines, 924 Bellefontaine street, out of the toils of the law when he was arraigned in municipal court three yesterday, charged with drunkenness. “How drunk was he?” Charles Karabell, judge pro tern., asked. “Failin’ drunk,” a policeman answered, “he toppled over and landed in the street.” “Give me another chance, Judge,” Mr. Haines pleaded at this point, “I’ve got a wife and two children.” He pushed a frail looking woman who had been standing noar by to the forefront. “But, Judge,” a policeman protested, “this man is divorced. He obtained a divorce from his wife Oct. 4.” “Is that true?” asked the judge, sternly. The prisoner admitted that it was. “And,” piped up one of the annoying constabulary, “I think he’s on probation for another drunk charge. Here Lady Luck took a hand, for a search of the records revealed that although Mr. Haines had been arrested for intoxication on Nov. 23, sentence had been suspended. Harry Dugan, bailiff, joined in a request to give Haines another chance. “I’ll give you another chance—against my better judgment,” said Judge Karabell, “but don't forget, if you get drunk again you’ll go to the state farm for 120 days and pay a $lO fine. And from now on you must give $5 a week for the support of your children.” Grotto to Give Party Sahara Grotto will hold a New Year’s party tonight at 8 in the Severin hotel. The festivities will take the form of an informal dinner dance in cabaret style, for which Horace Riggs and his Black Cat orchestra will provide music.

Welcome Awaits Booth Tarkington at Gracious Residence of His Sister

Misses First Christmas at Home, But Will Return for New Year’s. BY BASIL GALAGHER Times Staff Writer The glory that was t “Barley Bright’s,” the fine old house at Eeleventh and Pennsylvania streets, has faded with the passing of many cf the immortals who made it famous. James Whitcomb Riley, who wrote many of his poems there, is dead. So are Richard Mansfield and Sir Henry Irving, who, with Otis Skinner, many times graced its festive board when the old house rang with merriment during the holidays of an Indianapolis that is almost forgotten. But a wing chair set cozily beside a cannel coal fire in a staely room at 1035 North Pennsylvania street, where Monsier Beaucaire, in stiffbrocaded doublet would feel perfectly at home, awaits the return of the ’’gentleman from Indiana” for the New Year. Welcome Is Waiting In an atmosphere which typifies the formal grandeur of the mauve decade, with four huge chairs of former Indiana Governors set beneath oil paintings and bas-reliefs of Hoosier literati, a charming lady waits to welcome a famous author home. “He will be home for New Year’s,” said Msr. Ovid Butler Jameson. “I received a telegram from him this morning. 1 was so relieved. Last Christmas was the first time he has failed to arrive in Indianapolis for the holiday and I shed buckets of tears.” , Mrs. Jameson was speaking of her famous brother Booth Tarkington, and as she talked of his career, a striking family resemblance was noticeable in manner and intellectual perspicacity. Proud of Indianapolis And at the same time, the gracious lady who greatly perturbed. “Please correct a terrible impression that is abroad.” she pleaded, “some of the newspapers recently carried stories that my brother has lost his love for Indianapolis. It is not so. Perhaps there is more smoke and soot in town now than there was formerly, but he insists that this is his home. And he is proud to call it so. “Why, in this very house before this fireplace he completed many of his best works. And in old “Barley Bright” across the street, “Monsieur Beaucaire,” “The Two Vanrevels,” “The Gentleman Frotn Indiana,” “The Conquest of Caanan and a host o fother books were written. Characters Were Real And “Penrod”—why Penrod lived in the flesh on this very street. I should know “Penrod” is my own son, Booth Jameson. Mrs. Tarkington watched him grow with his brothers and made them the characters in “Penrod.” “Penrod and Sam,” “Seventeen” and other books. Mrs. Johnson rose and walked to a long French window in the spacious room. She pointed to a building bulking large in the shadows across Pennsylvania street. “That's the barn in “Penrod” where most of his adventures originated,’ she said simply. Os all her brother’s works, Mrs, Jameson likes Monsieur Beaucaire best. Mansfield Best “Beaucaire” “I had the pleasure of taking it to the publishers," she said, “to the McClure Brothers. Mr. McClure read it and pronounced it a wonderful story. It was thrilling to see it grow from a book to a play and then put to music in the opera by Massinet. I think Richard Mansfield was the greatest of the “Beaucaires.” He jlayed it magnificently. And Valentino also was excellent in the i cinema version.

FURTHER LIQUOR HEARINGS WILL BE INAUGURATED Commission Will Continue to Draft New Excise Department Rules. Further hearings on liquor control will be inaugurated by the state commission on Jan. 12, It was announced by Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr., secretary. At a meeting last week, the commissioners discussed the matter of high price and low quality of whisky as exposed by The Times. Plans to remedy this situation are being made, according to Alex Gordon, labor member of the commission. Hotel men, restaurant owners and druggists were granted hearings at previous commission meetings. According to Governor Paul V. McNutt, the commission is a continuing body which will draft new rules for the excise department from time to time. Paul Fry, state excise director, at one time said he thought the commission was through, with the promulgation of present rules. Now, however, he says it is o. k. with him if they continue and he will put out whatever rules they find advisable. Mrs. Nicholson declined to name groups, that will appear at the new series of public hearings.

Mrs. Jameson looked fondly across the room at a huge Christmas tree brightly lighted, and bedecked with all manner of decorations. “Mr. Tarkington loves the holiday season,” she said. “Have you ever read 'Beasley’s Christmas Party,’ which he wrote many years ago in this house? It would be a nice way to end your story. I mean, to quote one part of it. I will read it to you.” “Christmas is the best time because it is the kindest time,” she read softly. “Nobody ever felt very happy without feeling very kind, and nobody ever felt very kind without feeling at least a little happy. So. of course eilther way

DE PAUW LOOKS TOWARD 1934 Erection of New' Building Following Fire Is on Program. By Times Special. GREENCASTLE. Dec. 30.—The year 1933 brought to De Pauw university both bitter and sweet. One of the most disastrous fires in the history of the institution occurred Oct. 15 and destroyed Mansfield hall, co-ed dormitory and one of the landmarks of the campus. The fire also resulted in the abandonment of middle college, another of the older structures, as a safety measure against fire and structural hazards. While these losses can be credited to 1933, the new year of 1934 will receive the credit for a building program that will start shortly after the first of January. The loss of middle college will not be felt, since it is to be razed and anew $250,000 building will take its place as a recitation hall. This new building will be known as Harrison hall, honoring John H. Harrison, late Danville (111.) publisher, who made De Pauw residuary legatee in an estate valued at more than $1,000,000. Ae present the estate is tied up pending the sale of the newspaper which he owned at Danville and which is considered a most valuable piece of property. A purchaser is negotiating at present for the paper and it is possible that the sale will be culminated in time for construction to start on the new building in the spring. Athletically, the year 1933 was outstanding. Last spring the De Pauw university track team annexed its eighth little state track title in nine years’ competition in that event. The basketball team closed a successful year with a majority of wins but no titles, since De Pauw had withdrawn from the Buckeye Conference, whose title it was defending from the championship team of the year before. The 1933 football season was credited with being the most successful in the history of the school, De Pauw receiving national attention as being the only undefeated, untied and unscored upon team in the nation. It was also one of the six which closed the season undefeated. The Tigers successfully shut out seven opponents on its schedule. It marked the first time since De Pauw began playing football in 1889 that the team has gone through an undefeated season.

FRANCE LAUDS | PEACE SPEECH, OF ROOSEVELT Official Statement Pledges Nation’s Support of Every Point. (Copyright. 1933. by United Press! PARIS, Dec. 30.—French statesmen were deepfiy moved by President Roosevelt's speech outlining America's foreign viewpoint, the United Press was advised officially today. “France agrees on every point, and is grateful for this evidence of a perfect communion of ideas,” said Foreign Undersecretary- Francois de Tessan after a thorough study of the speech in consultation with Premier Camille Chautemps and Foreign Minister Joseph Paui-Bon-cour. "M. Paul-Boncour was particularly moved and characterized the speech as magnificent.” Full Support Pledged French government leaders were particularly pleased at the President's statement that 90 per cent of the world’s people were satisfied with present national boundaries. They expressed pleasure also at his statement in favor of international control of armaments, which France makes an essential prelude to demobilization. “Making an official statement in the name of the French government I am pleased to report France's happy reaction and full support of every point of the President's speech,” said de Tessan. Without adhering to the League of Nations, the United States now. by parallel action, supports the same doctrines of equality of nations, disarmament and arifiament control that French people have maintained. Congratulations Sent President “President Roosevelt and M. Paul Boncour are in complete agreement. Nothing stands between American and French foreign policies, except that we are members of the League of Nations and the United States is not. But even then, the United States proves it is as attached to the welfare of humanity as any member of the league. French Ambassador Andre Delaboulaye will call at the state department in Washington to convey to the President the congratulations of Foreign Minister Joseph PaulBcncour on the speech, it was revealed.
