TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1929 t REVERIES OF LAST STAND OF GUSTER IS KIWANIS TALK TOPIC; Pat E. Byrne Tells of Visit to Battlefield on Little Big Horn Last Year A visit to the Custer battlefield near the Little Big Horn, last sum- mer, was made the subject of a talk given by Pat E. Byrne at the Ki- wanis luncheon, at noon, today. The visit was likened to’a visit to an old home. Mr. Byrne had never seen to the field before, but the ad- venture and the romance of Custer’s death and the ineffable pathos of the slaughter of his command, he said, often had occupied his waking lies [Robbers Abandon | Silverware Loot After Car Crash | a } Brewster, N. Y., June 11.—(7)—Two robbers who encered the home of Miss E. K. Lamont he: and stole $10,000 worth of silverware had nothing to show for their trouble today.

RAIN MARS RETAIL MERCHANTS INITIAL DAY OF STATE MEET dreams, whether standing on his feet or sitting in the ease of revery. So he teld of the emotions that fripped his soul as he traced the attle trail over which the commands of Benteen and Reno and Custer had toiled and fought or as he came upon some marker perpetuating the mem- ory of the fallen, along the stream, up on the bluff or amid the cactus and sage or weeds of the Montana vales and hills. He wove the bated pathos of that tragic day of June 25, 1876, into the story of his visit and brought so vividly before the minds of the luncheon gathering the tense mys- tery of just how the men of the Seventh cavalry went down under the withering fire of the horde Indians, that his final words crackled amid the silent attention accorded. He quoted Theodore O'Hara: “How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country’s wishes blest. On Fame’s eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn reund, The bivouac of the dead.” Noted Grave of Tribune Man Among the markers which Mr. Byrne came across was one to Mark Kellogg, placed by the New York Herald and accrediting him as the correspondent of that paper. Kel- logg also was the representative of The Tribune on the ill-fated expedi- tion. Mr. Byrne has promised to write it his talk and allow it to be pub- it one of the most in- talks that possibly could be given to any gathering out in the Jand of Custer. He began by telling of the political sidelights. These grew out of the political rottenness of the Grant administration, when Secre- tary of War Belknap was impeached for selling post trader privileges. Custer, always honest and out- spoken, gave testimony before a congressional committee investigat- ing. thig scandal. hen began his punishment. After he left Washington he was placed under technical arrest at Chicago by General Phil Sheridan, said Mr. Byrne, on orders from Washington, on the ground of showing disrespect fer his superiors, Grant and Sher- man, in not calling on them. This he had tried to do, but he had been teresting When the expedition into Montana started it was only through the in- tercession of General Terry that he was allowed to accompany it at the head of his Seventh cavalrymen, said Mz. Sirs, ‘To the resentment aroused by this treatment, Mr. Byrne ascribed the debacle. Custer ventured a rash risk to rehabilitate himself and ran into a larger force of Indians than his split command could handle. So all of his detachment went to their slaughter, while Benteen and Reno bare ly were able to fight their way out, The luncheon was marked by the presence of four of the singing In- dian girls from the Indian school. They were Alice Slater, Dora La- France, Vitalline Azure and Maric LaFrance. They sang “Pale Dawn,” by Lo; id “Roses Everywhere,” by Denza, and as an encore, “The Indian Song.” Mrs. Herman Schef- fer dtcompanied, ide Delegate T. P.

Two possible occasions are suggest- ed, the prince's 35th birthday on June 23, and an elaborate ball which the Swedish embassy has arranged for the princess June 14. It is not the first time there have jbeen rumors that the British heir would marry his 19-year-old second coysin from Viking land, but not be- fore have there been the combination of circumstances and. events giving background and lending weight to the reports. Gossip called attention to various facts: The Swedish embassy has is- sued invitations for a state ball for Princess Ingrid at the embassy June 14, which has been heralded as one of the most important events socially of the London season. The prince is to be a guest. And, friends recently recalled pub- | hicly the prince's statement to a friend that he would marry when he was {35 years old. He will be 35 years old | June 23. In the speculation there are sev- eral negative factors. The prince and the princess have not noticeably been together at entertainments this year. Little, practically nothing, has leaked out if such an engagement has been made. On Wednesday night of last week the prince gave a dinner at St. James’ palace with the princess, her father, and stepmother as guests. Lord and Lady Astor and Mf. and Mrs. Winston | Churchill were among others present. The princess is 19 years old and is | the third child of the first marriage of the crown prince. Her mother who ;was Princess ‘Margaret Victoria. daughter of the Duke of Connaught and nicce of King George, died May 1, 1920. | i i | don’t have to stay home this summer A Santa Fe Summer Xcursion Ticket will take you to California through the Colo- rado Rockies, over the Indian-detour and to Grand Canyon National Park—at very reasonable cost.
