LOST BARONESS FOUND ON ISLE. TOURIST CLAIMS Stranqe Story of Love in Garden of Eden Is Bared in Letter. BT. PAUL, March 15 Anew tnrf concerning the bizarre BarEloisa Bosquet de Wagner Wehrbom. central figure in the fan-fa-tic paradise colony on Floreana 1.-land in the Galapagos, was brought to light in a strange rommunication receive here today. The baroness, who. with her Bo-h-mian lover. Robert Phillip.son. mysteriously vanished from their Garden of Eden bower a.s the climax of a senes of weird developments. apparently still is alive, aceordine to the dispatch. The letter, dated Feb. 3, 1935. was a communication to Howard Kahn, editor of the Daily News, from Marguerite Davis, St. Paul woman with a group of tourists including former Governor and Mrs. Gifford Pmchot of Pennsylvania. Mr. Pmchot was menaced with a revolver by a woman whom the wnter said was the mysterious baroness. the letter said. The party landed at Posts Office bay. Floreana island a few hours before the incident. Governor Is Frightere.i "We walked through the house which was deserted by three Norwegians,' the letter said. "Also we believe that when first the baroness and her lovers arrived they spent a few nights there. From there we followed a path leading away from the house. "We found a freshly markpd rut or one of the trees, blazing the way. Mr. Gifford Pmchot. who was leading. was quite a ways ahead. He found a piece of white silk. At first he thought it was a handkerchief, but it had no hem. Suddenly he heard a rustling in the brush, but he saw nothing. He stopped and started again up the trail. " Stop,' a voice shouted. He felt -omeihmg on his shoulder. He looked and it was a pearl-handled revolver held bv the steady hand of a woman dressed, as he said, somewhat the same as the women on our cruise. The woman was the baroness. He trembled with excitement and she gave him a cold look and said: 'I don't like you. Go.* He left.” Victor ElUng of Chicago was the next person behind Mr. Pmchot. according to the letter.

Mrn Rattle fnr Her Uvr “H hart quite a conversation with the Baroness. She told him that she hart more than two lovers. She said that always the new man won. They fought. for the honor, but always 'he new one won. The discarded ones she locked in a cabin no far from her cabin. She supposed they eventually escaped, as she never saw them a^ain. "We branched to the left of the trail and came upon a cabin. We found beautiful Louis furniture, a ,large four-poster bed and 24 packing rases. I opened them and in each were neat piles of French linjrrrie. Each was initialed so I know they belonged to the Baroness. "Mrs. Pmehot discovered that on one of the posts of the bed there were 18 notches, the top one freshly cut.” The Baroness, a tempestuous Viennese beauty, went to the island retreat with Alfred Lorenz. Phillipson replaced him as her lover. The Baroness and Phillipson disappeared and Lorenz apparently died on a sun-bleached island in an attempt to reach civilization with a Norse sailor.

RV JOHN W. THOMPSON THERE probably isn't another artist in the business who knows as manv humorous anecdotes about famous people as Frank Gardner Hale, craftesman extiaordmary. who will lecture tonight at 8:15 at the John Herron Art, Institute. Mr. Hale, in his almost 80 years of work and fun. has interwoven his craftsmanship and his love of people until the resultant pattern shows a delightful personality and a strikingly lovely art. Springinr from stolid New England stock. Mr. Hale h„d absolutely no background for his art career. His parents fought against his desire to be an artist—such work was all right, for women, but the New England man must be a man. said they. Young Frank's ideas was not so narrow. He went to Norwich Conn. Art School, won a medal for his art work and that settled him for life. On to Boston. where he went to the Museum's School of Arts and crafts and also won high honors. a 9 a BUT the commercial sidp of the crafts got into Mr. Hales adventurous blood and for several year l : he did all sorts of designing, making the drawings for the Oliver Ditson Music Company's composition covers for one thing and helping Bostonians to find clever motifs in wall papers for another. This type of mechanical creation which could never be faithfully reproduced convinced the craftsman that he must tear himself away from the commercial humdrum. Off to England he scurried and there studied with the Guild of Handicraft near Chipping Camden, later basking in the somber tutoring of Frederic Partridge. t His collection of hand-made jewelry at the Herron Museum is the grandest group of work this reviewer has seen here. Outstanding individuals in the dramatic arrangement of craftwork are a Mexican cherry opal set in gold; a South African tourmaline, which bears a remarkable resemblance to saphire. and his group of hand enameling which is one of the most tedius and remotely beautiful of the artist's exhibits. Strangely enough. Mr. Hale, who will speak tonight on “The Place of the Craftsman in Contemporary Life,’’ is a movie fan to no little degree. He loves Shirley Temple, is a good friend of Mae Robson and has known Hlcn Westley for years. Rewards in the way of medals and competition prizes have come

thick and fast for this talented toolman. For him life itself is an emerald set in a gleaming of scrollwork of burnished gold. ana -pvONALD M. MATTISON, the John Herron art school director, whose exhibition prize - winning. "Negro Baptism.” has caused stirring comment from all sides, will speak Sunday afternoon at 4 at the Museum on ' Painting a Picture.” The Shortridge High School art department will hold its annual exhibition of student work in the Rhoda Selleck Memorial Galleries at the school March 18 to 29. The official opening will be observed Tuesday night from 6 to 10. a a a Ip VERY so often a young artist pops up from seemingly nowhere and shows promise of doing something just a little different from the way “it's being done.” Just such an artist is William F. Kaeser. who will open a two-week show at the H. Lieber galleries Monday. But Mr. Kaeser. who came from Germany, attended the da Vinci School of Art in New York and the John Herron School here, did not make his pastel drawings of Irvington scenes. He went out along White River where people live in most anything they can throw' together. • His pastel work is new'. It has anew color aspect, anew feeling and anew depth. His Mattiselike backgrounds, his broad strokes of sunlight are unusually pleasing. He has a tendency to crow'd a bit too much into one drawing and if his pastel won't deepen his color enough he feels no pang of regret for daubing on a spot of blue water color, but his “Corn Plant.” and his “Rubber Plant.” are two of the loveliest still lifes seen lately. Although Mr. Kaeser has one or tw'o figures in his show, he had better stick to other types of drawing. He hasn't nearly the mastery of body composition and graceful line in his figure drawings as are beautifully evident in the others. Civil Service Posts Open Frank J. Boatman, civil service secretary here, today announced examinations for assistant credit union investigators, junior physicists. chemists, and for assistant keeper for the National Zoological Park.
