They're Exciting Tales—

Ones Told by Capt. Jones

By HARRY MORRISON

From hotel manager to night clerk, from sea captain to master of a tugboat, from grammar "school graduate to lecturer at American universities, from Wales to Massachusetts Ave.—that’s the story told by Capt. Charles Jones of the Hoosier Hotel. > The way he. butresses his story with facts makes it seem true. Capt. Jones sailed into Indianap-

olis last June, down on his luck and;

with his money gone. He went to the Wheeler City Rescue Mission. They fed him, clothed him, gave him a good bed .and.a good breakfast.

dianapolis for gdod. He just got a job the other day. He's night clerk at the Hoosier Hotel, 440 Massachusetts Ave. "“I’'ve been in 43 countries in all kinds of luck—good and bad—and the Wheeler Mission is the finest in the world,” he says. “They gave me a chance. I think I'll hang around now and see if I can do something for Indianapolis.” Capt. Jones tells stories he says you don’t have te believe. Some of them Aare pretty tall. Like the searchlight diamond the Nizam of Hyderabad wears when he visits Bombay. True or not, they're exciting. Born in Wales, he says he was 14 when the “itching foot” first hit him. He ran away and hopped a sailing ship. He left her in Sydney by jumping overboard “with two of everything on.” - i “Those were the last sailirig ships. They were called ‘Hungry Hells.’ . I ‘went up-country from Sydney and taught an amateur band. It happened I played a trumpet.

Now he’s decided to ‘stay in In-

He’s a Bristol Channel pilot right now, but the Bristol Channel is a little small for him. He sailed for years and in 1914 was in the United States. He went to England and enlisted for the World War. Those were “quiet, uneventful years.” He had five ships blown from under him in 1916. While getting away from the last one he fell across the thwarts of a lifeboat and broke his back. = He went to Canada, broken back, steel brace and all, and was made

Acting bandmaster of the Irish-Ca-

nadian Rangers Band. The best part of his stories are when he tells about Gandhi in South Africa. It was at Natal, before the Mahatma went back to India and became known so well. The names of the native tribes roll off the Captain’s tongue like criticism rolls off Gandhi's back. t “Gandhi wasn’t doing so well that day,” the Captain says. “He had done a lot of loose talking and the English and natives were _both mad at him. ss “They were going to string him from an electric light post. An English lady, the wife of the Police. Chief, walked right through the mob and took Gandhi away. She helped him get out of the country, too. She was a North. of England lady -and very determined.” ie His biggest thrills? .... .. ... “Well,.” he says, “I'm 58. 1 think the gold-alloy Rolls Royce the Nizam of Hyderabad sported and all his diamonds pretty nearly hits the top. - : “Of course, I was softened up a deal when Mr. and Mrs. Burke (owners of the hotel). gave me a shirt and tie for Christmas.”
