NAPOLEON LOVE LETTERS BRING NEW HIGH PRICE Other Costly Mementoes Topped by $75,000 Figure. Naprleonlc allographs. mementos and other relics have been hunted avidly by collectors for many decades. but few prizes have been unearthed In any way comparable to the letters written to Marie Louise, which The Indianapolis Times will publish for th first time. The $75 000 paid for them by the French government was the largest price ever given at t Napoleonic sale. Even the famous Earl of Crawford collection of Napoleorana. which was the largest ever formed, failed to bring purchasers to such a high level when it was sold at Sotheby's in London in 1925. Included in that sale were such famous documents as the autograph draft of the "Rivoll Proclamation,” Intended for the army of Italy; a letter from Dr. Guillotin, inventor of the guillotine; a letter from Josephine to Napoleon; an autograph letter to Talleyrand dictating the conduct he was to adopt in one of his last interviews with Lord Witworth tonce considered the finest single Napoleon letter ever offered for sale>. and other letters of General Berthier, the Marquis de Lafayette. General Murat. Lord Nelson, Pitt. Marshall Ney and Prince Talleyrand. The individual items, however, went for comparatively low figures, despite the great interest which news of the dispersal of the famous collection arouscc. $65,000 Previous Record The most recent previous sale—that of Lord Rosebery's Napoleonic library at Sotheby's in 1933—a150 failed to equal the French government's $75,000 figure, even though eight early love letters of Napoleon to Josephine were included. These letters sold for a little more than $20,000 and the entire Rosebery library. which included a host of other items, went for less than $65,000. Included in the miscellaneous items was the famous farewell ncte written on Napoleon's departure for Elba on April 20. 1814, ending with “a kiss for the little King.” and never delivered to Marie Louise by the messenger entrusted with the errand. It brought about S3OOO at the London sale. A collection of letters, documents and portraits, offered for auction at the Anderson Art Galenes in New York in 1930, went for only SSOOO. A year later David Belasco's wellknown Napoleonic collection brought S3IOO at it’s sale in New York. Jewel Prices Lower Even jewels and other mementos have failed to obtain prices anywhere near that paid for the Marie Louise letters. At the very moment these letters were being sold at Sotheby's, there were offered for auction at Christie's, another London establishment, the pearl earrings worn by Josephine at her coronation. Only two people put in bids, and the highest offer was $7500.

This was below the reserve price, and the earrings were withdrawn from the sale. A diamond bracelet of Josephine's went for $2500 at the : same time. At a sale in Paris in 1928, Napoleon's tricorne hat went for $1471 The death mask of Napoleon made at St. Helena brought S2OO a couple lof years ago. At another sale in Pans in IC-2S, a box of compasses left by T itenant Bonaparte at Auxorme brought $56, and a sabre which N.- poleon presented to one of his generals commanded only s9l. It i.v the letters that still form the ch:cl goal of every Napoleonic collector. The series written to Marie Louise was far and away the most valuable find of all, not only because of their tremendous historical interest, their rarity and thrir revelation of Napoleon’s character, but because their contents have never been revealed to the public. They will be published exclusively for the first time in The Indianapolis Times. (Gopvright 1935. by United Feature* Syndicate. Inc.i BOXING HEADS PROGRAM Music Also Listed on Relief Recreation Card.

RUSH TO AID OF SHIP ADRIFT IN PACIFICSTORM No Immediate Danger, Says Captain of Crippled Schooner. By United Prer SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11.—The schooner Seth Parker, adrift in a hurricane in the South Pacific, is “in no immediate danger," Phillips Lord, her commander, reported by wireless today. Mr. Lord sent his report to H. M. S. Australia, the British warship racing to the rescue. The United States Navy tug Ontario was preparing at the Pagopago naval base, Samoa, to join in the rescue race. Capable of 31 knots at top speed, the Australia was reported making 20 knots in storm conditions. It was estimated she could reach the schooner tonight. Rigging Torn Away The governor of the American naval base at Samoa offered his only ship to Mr. Lord when the latter reported that his rigging had been torn away and his wooden four-masted boat was leaking. Meanwhile naval weather reports indicated a storm of great intensity was sweeping the area in which Mr. Lord's ship apparently was drifting helplessly. The wind velocity was 75 miles an hour and the barometer was dropping. The temperature in the usually mild South Seas was falling. At the time of the report it was 77, a drop of 10 degrees within a few l hours. Second Rescue Trip Unless he is forced to abandon I ship, Mr. Lord will seek a tow to Tutu.la from the navy boat which is first to find him. Radio messages intercepted here indicated most of the crew of 14 aboard the Seth Parker were college men. who joined the entertainer in New York and New England for a cruise around the world. The Australia is making her second trip to the side of the schooner. Late Saturday the warship found the Seth Parker undamaged and apparently not needing assistance after racing 350 miles off her course to stand by as Mr. Lord had requested. I. U.

Williams was shot early Sunday and pushed dead from a gangland ride onto the highway near Pittsboro. Williams, who was 41, was shot onje in the head and once in the right leg by a .38-caliber automatic pistol. He w£s, Pittsboro officials said, shot at the spot where his body was found. To police here, Williams was known as a well-dressed, polite man who had been more or less an object of suspicion for some time. They have a record of but one arrest. Last year he was turned over to Monroe County on a bad check charge. They began, however, to delve into the illegal liquor and stolen car

rackets in search of an answer to the motive of his death. He is surviv.*d by Mrs. Hannah Williams, with whom he lived at 3015 Kenwood-av. The body has been taken to Bedford, ind., original home of the family, for services and burial. Complaint Scope Narrowed Francis Wells, assistant state compliance officer of the NRA, announced today that only 449 wage adjustment cases remained before that body out of a total of 4458 complaints. During the last two weeks 28 employes of Indiana business firms have been awarded back wages amounting to $1477. Six Indianapolis cases were d9cided involving seven employes and a total of $487 in back wages.
