HERRICK TRBUTES FLODDIAGENBASSY French Government Contin- | ues Plans for Imposing Funeral Honors. | By the Assoctatea Press. | PARIS, April 2—The French govern- | ment continued today its plans for im- posing funeral honors for Myron T. ! Herrick, United States Ambassador: Little was being left undone to pay tribute to the man. who while he lived here. was France’s friend as well as his own country’s plenipotentiary. A number of detalls inseparable from | the elaborate ceremonials involved. re- mained unsettled today, but the princi- ! pal features of the obsequies were agreed | upon. Meanwhile the body itself re- , mained at the embassy. where a throng of admirers, both distinguished and | humble, passed for a last view. ‘The ceremony Thursday will open with the funeral oration pronounced by Premier Raymond Poincare himself. This will be the second time in little more than a fortnight he will have been called upon to officiate in such a capaci- ty. A distinguished gathering at the embassy will hear his eulogy. ‘Will Have Guard of Honor. After it is concluded the- cortege Will form outside with @~ guard of honor, to which the Ambassador is entitled, as holder of the rare distinction of the grand cross of the Legion of Honor. The guard will be followed by a consider- able representation of other organiza- tions. The cortege will proceed a short distance to the American pro-cathedral, where there will be a memorial service. M. Becq de Fouquires, chief of th~ government protocol, visited the Amc..” can Procathedral with several members of his staff today to examine the seat- ing capacity and to make arrangements for government representation. He found that about half of the seating capacity of 600 would be taken up by members of the cabinet, the army and navy, parliamentary delegations, the diplomatic corps, members of the em- bassy staff and their families. On the right of the altar will be all the mem- bers of the government delegations and representatives, while on the left will be the diplomatic corps. The service will be read by the Very Rev. Dean Frederick W. Beekman, as- sisted by Canon George W. Gibbs. The honorary pallbearers will be chosen some time today. . The Ambassador’s body will be taken aboard the Tourville, newest and fastest cruiser in the French navy, at Brest, where the vessel now is lying, at a-time to be determined later in accordance with the wishes of the family. There was a never-ending stream of visitors at the embassy, all signing the book and expressing their condolence with the embassy staff and Mrs. Parme- H: ‘Herflck, the Ambassador's daughter- -law. Letters and telegrams arrived from all over France by the hundreds, These included messages from the mayors and city councils of Havre, Nancy, and the rector of the University of Naney, of :)hlch Mr, Herrick was honorary. doc- T, Long Articles in Press. French newspapers still carried long appreciative articles of the dead- Am- bassador’s life, details of his funeral arrargements, and cables from America telling of the sorrow there. Andre Tardieu, minister of the in- terior and former high commissioper in the United States, today paid elo- quent tribute to Mr. Herrick in an arti- cle in the Paris Midi. Telling of his 20 years of friendship with Mr. Herrick, he said, “I saluted yesterday for the last that firm, fine figure still lighted by | cavalry assaults,-which, with one excep- | by the flame that made his life worth so much. France loses in him. more than it knows.” The Municipal Council of Paris is expected at its mext meeting to give the Ambassador's name to a street in the quarter where he resided. Paris lkelgy has streets named for Wash- ington, Franklin, Lincoln and Wilson. Among the tributes to the Ambassa- dor in today's papers is & long apprecia- | tion by Senator Henri Berenger in the -lel'nlyL After tracing Mr. Herrick's career step by step Berenger says: "Thlf is an American of the best type. * * Knowing how to count dollars did not prevent his knowing how to raise him- self to the level of the stars and that of France always shone brightly for him besides the 48 of the American flag. “Until the end he served equally the cause of our country and the interests of his own and that is why all French- men, as well as all Americans, will mourn, In the Ambassador there was s bond of union it will be difficult to replace, something like the rainbow which will be missed on both sides of the Atlantic.” Ten a Minute Pass Bier. | Prenchmen passing the bier of Am- bassador Herrick signed the register at the American embassy today at the || rate of 10 & minute.

O, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1099 § Plane to Hunt Lost Companion. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, April 2—A remark- able story of desert hardship and un- usual fidelity to the orders of a superior by a young Mexican aviator was told here today in a message to President Portes Gil from Lieut. Col. Roberto Pierro, Mexico's premier aviator, Fierro, with Lieut. Valle, Sunday had their plane shot down eight kilometers west of Jimenez, where a battle raged all day yesterday between federal and rebel troops. He and Valle evaded pursuers for a while, but finally, Fierro says, he collapsed in the middle of the desert for want of food and water. ‘Then, as he fainted away, he ordered Valle to go save himself. Hours Jater when the sun had gone down he awoke, found Valle gone and made his way to Escalon, where he sent a message to Gen. Calles and President Portes Gil beseeching loan of an airplane to go find his friend Valle. Plane’s Oll Tank Hit. Fierro’s story, as sent to the presi- dent, read as follows: “While flying over Jimenez my plane was hit in the oil tank® by a rebel buljet and three minutes later its motor stopped. I was able to land eight kilo- meters west of Jimenez. We were seen by the enemy and some cavalry and some in an automobile were sent to pursue us. “The mountains were at hand, how- ever, and after & half hour chase we reached them, and shook off our enemy pursuers. We followed the valley south of Villa Lopez and soon were seen by rebel cavalry again. ey started to pursue us but we escaped hiding in holes in the rough country. “At Venado we found a rancher who sold us two horses, but we had to abandon these an hour later because of their exhaustion, and to escape detec- tion. When we left Venado, walking, we found about 200 disbanded rebels' of the 22nd Regiment, which had been commanded by the rebel Gen, Valle (apparently no relative of Lieut. Valle). ‘These men sald Gen. Valle had died at the battle fought at Cerro Blanco, Pursued Again by Rebels. “We had to proceed from Venado most cautiously to escape being seen and were pursued again by rebels, In the middle of the desert I collapsed be- cause of thirst and hunger and ordered Lieut. Valle to proceed safely. Later I lapsed into unconsclousness and re- mained so until 7 p.n, when after sunset the temperature fell, “Subsequently I resumed my march afoot and soon got to & ranch, where I got some water and got a rebel horse, which I used to get here (Escalon). “I do not know the whereabouts of my ‘companero’ (friend) and I request you please authorize. me to take plane 0 Gen: Gats, tn relaying th n, les, in relaying the message to the President, noted that he had already granted Pierro's request. 4 Lieut.

FEDERALS POISED FOR NEW JIMENEZ ONSLAUGHT TODAY (Continued From First Page.) West Coast, however, where in the State of Sinola, where the only other fighting of consequence is taking place, federal troops dislodged the rebel army from fortifications at Limon and forced full retreat northward toward Quila and Culiacan. More than 100 rebels were killed. The belief here, however, was that it was in Chihuahua rather than on the west coast the fighting had its principal significance. A victory for the federals at Jimenez probably would mean rapid disintegration of the rebel movement outside the State of Sonora. A rebel victory, while not entailing federal disaster, would certairly give the revolt a new Jease on life and pro- long it indefinitely. Lieut. Col. Gustayo Leon, who flew across the rebel lines late yesterday aft- ernoon, reported he had seen bridges burning on railway outlets from Jimenez to Chihuahua City and to Parral. This, probably the work of federal raiders, was believed to have cut the rebels off from their basey Detachment Cut Off. ‘The aviator also reported that federal airmen were seeking to locate Gen. Benigno Serratos, who, with a small de- tachment of men, had been cut off by the rebels, | The rebel troops were found strongly intrenched outside Jimenez. Desultory firing began as early as 1 am., accord- ing to the report of Gen. Calles, who semained at his headquarters at Berme- jillo, 100 miles southeast of Jimenez, leaving fleld operations to Gen. Juan Andrue Almazan. Federal artillery was soon brought into action, followed by infantry and tion, failed.

Many of the rebels atandoned horses, arms and supplies. The encounter oc- curred along the Camino Real—the Old Royal Highway. ‘The city suffered heavily from shell fire, and it was said & windmill which had sheltered a rebel machine-gun nest was destroyed. Calles reported to Cha- pultepec Castle at midnight that unless the rebels chose to attack again there wou‘l: be no further fighting before day- reak. Both sides employed bombing planes.

Escalante d been killed. while leading his divis- ion in a flank attack on Gen. Quevado, who was mentioned in dispatches for his successes during the day. Capture of 83 rebels and a captain was reported, but little mention was made of dead and wounded. It was said Gen. Escobar's army did not number over 5,000. Gen.

Condolences on the death of Am- bassador Herrick have been cabled to the State Department by Foreign Min- ister Briand of France, and acknowl- edged by Secretary Stimson. “The affection which bound me per- sonally to him,” said M. Briand, “the respect and gratitude felt by all my compatriots for him who had shared so generously our trials, makes this loss particularly cruel to us all, and I beg you to accept the expression of my pro- found sympathy.” Mr. Stimson expressed his apprecia- tlon, saying that Mr. Herrick “was al- ways a faithful friend of France, able to interpret sympathetically for the in- formation of his government the French point of view on matters which came up for discussion.” CORRESPONDENTS ELECT WILBUR FORREST HEAD Carlisle Bargeron Is Named Vice President of White House Association.

At a session last night the House recelved the report of a sul it- tee on rules of impeachment, which will come up for adoption today. Leaders of the anti-Long faction in the Senate were prepared today to press for action to compel Gov. Long to either name the members of the Leg- islature, who, the executive charged in a radio speech, had been influenced by financial agents of the Standard Oil Co., or retract the statement. ‘The Senate was not satisfied with a message from the governor last night saying that all of his information was hearsay, but agreeing to submit to an appointed committee the names of per- sons who could give -direct testimony on the subject. House Silent to Message. The governor's message was received in silence in the House, but two Sena- tors denounced him as a libeler of the State of Louisiana and demanded that the Senate either make the governor produce the names or retract. The governor's supporters were busy today in preparation for an all-day mass meeting here Thursday, when they hope to hold a large demonstration favoring the governor. Letters, circulars and postal cards were sent over the State inviting people to attend.

By the Associated Press. 3 PHILADELPHIA, April 2—Tied to a bedpost in a hut in _an isolated spot in New Jersey, Rita Carulo, 14-year-old school girl who was abducted more than three weeks ago, was rescued last night by detectives. The girl was weak from lack of food and was near collapse when her rescuers cut the cords that bound her. They arrested Gaetano Aldonido, 48, who the girl sald had carried her away in an automoblie and attacked her. Search for the child had been con- ducted here and in surrounding cities since her disappearance March 8. Detectives discovered the hut last night. When they broke in the door Aldonido_jumped from a window. He was caught. Rita said that Aldonido who had boarded at her home for a short time, had enticed her into his automobile as she was returning from school.

BY RUSSEL OWEN, 1—Down went the thermometer with |.It & thump to 47 degrees below zero last night and today it was still around 47, the shoveling and digging go on just the same, despite frosted toes and noses, to the tune of: Poor little g .

Little America is still digging, and just now its inhabitants are building a series of tunnels which would_rival the Manhattan subway system. When t;:‘elyk are finished it will be possible to to houses and supplies without going outside, and there will be about a quarter of a mile of glistening chan- nels of communication. In some of them the dogs are being housed. It is the most ambitions and effec- tive arrangement ever attempted down here and it would have been impossible without so many men. It is hard, dogged work, but the men go at it with jokes and & song and, when too tired to shovel, tip each other over in- the snow to get warm. The system, like Topsy, sort of grew. It began with the tunnel between the two main houses which was designed by Capt. McKinley, who is third in com- mand and the presiding genius of the shovel gang. Mac figured it could be used as a way in bad weather when it is too dangerous to walk any distance out-of-doors and also as & means of storing supplies. It was dug about shoulder-high and just wide enough for two men o ueeze by. On each side on top were placed food boxes, which are of uni- form size and made so that they can be opened easily without moving them. Then a few supporting pieces were laid across the boxes and canvas put on top and held down by lines run through grommets to pegs in the snow. And there was our tunnel, 250 yards long. ';f proved to be not only utilitarian but a thing of beauty. One cannot make the most common snow struc- ture here without its turmning into a temple of color. Through the sides of it shine & beautiful blue and green light when the sun is out, and from the top, through the canvas covered with snow, comes & pale yellow. At times the light close tonhthe h;:wm of the walls is a deep rich purple. Walking through it is like passing through an ancient palace corridor lined with mother of pearl and lapis luguli and chrysoprase. Home of Two New Dog Families. But instead of its being the last home of some gorgotten Pharaoh, it is now the maternity ward. Two litters of pup- py dogs are growing up in there tem- l;;onruy. the children of Josephine and olly. Josephine’s nine are now bouncing balls of fluff, which go rolling through their crystal palace and get under foot. They squeak and leap up with in- effectual snaps at one's boot laces or mukluk strings. Holly’s are not yet big enogh to wan- der, but when they are the tunnel will be too densely populated and they will be moved out to another home, equally beautiful, which is being prepared for them. They should be fairy beasts, bred in such a snow palace. ‘When this tunnel was finished Frank (Tafly) Davies, the physicist, had an in- spiration and decided that he wanted one also to his non-magnetic shelter, where he will work during the Winter. So part of the shovel turned on to a trench to run from the main tunnel to ‘Taffy’s sanctum. * What Cyclone Haines Evacuated.

They made a huge hole, nearly 10 feet deep, and with the help of the entire gang pushed the huge fuselage in there with the center section and the wing motors mounted. Then they erected a wall of snow blocks around it. This bullding was the ginning of the new met! of cen- struction which is now adopted by the subway constructors. ‘With the aid of ice saws, such as are used to cut ice in ponds at home, they sawed down and across and then lifted the chunks of hard snow. This snow is so firm it can be quarried like stone. Arthur Walden, the veteran Klondike dog driver, says it is 10 times as hard as Alaskan snow. It was a labor of two days getting this hole ready, and the mechanics and gl.loh cid most of it, the mechanics who ve kept the planes going without fal- tering on all these cold weather flights, tell Kennard Bubler and chunky Ben- jamin Roth and E. J. Demas, with the most_disreputable parka in camp, the penalty of working around where there is hot oil. ‘They lifted blocks until their arms ached and when they finished the big ship was stowed away in a hangar of snow, roofed over with a snow-covered tarpaulin, and with room enough inside to permit the men to work on the gas and ol lines and the motors and other parts during the Winter night. And there isn’t a wind in Antarctica which can get hold of enough of that structure to budge it, it is so carefully designed. Snow “Hotel” Built for 80 Dogs. ‘The next problem was to care for dogs, 5o that they would be pro- tected in low temperatures. The dog drivers are the mainstay of this work, although the aviation crowd help them also, for to get enough tunnels to hold nearly 80 dogs is a tremendous task. ‘Trenches similar to those used to con- nect the houses are being dug, radiating from the seal pile, which is the food supply.

Another big hole is mow being dug off the main tunnel and around it will be made a wall of snow blocks, to contain the boxes of food and other supplies for which no other place has been found.

Men Constantly Busy. ‘While Blackle has been general over- seer of supplies, Tom Mulroy has been tinkering with stoves and fuel barrels and adding up the coal piles. Jim Feurey has been running the snowmobile over the Barrier, after warming it up with a torch, and Capt. Parker, the fiyer, has been driving dogs hauling supplies and helping build the snow hangars. Altogether, there is not a man in the camp who has not had a hand in building it. It is & remarkable construction job, of which any group of men might be proud. They have worked in good weather and bad, when the sun was shining and when it was hidden by snow drifting before a high wind. ‘They have dug out holes many times only to have them filled with drifted snow and do the work all over again. They have frozen toes and fingers and cheeks in the process of learning to protect themselves against the rigors of this life. But in addition they have given real thought to the work and Little America stands now the most interesting settle- ment ever seen in the Antarctic.
