Solitude Is the greatest medicine
man can take" says the modern
Robinson Crusoe. who ten years ago.
when In poor health. left his studies
at Princeton University to seek
health closS to nature. "A man Is
never without company when he has
things to read and nature and the
wonderful works of Providence to
think about. I have found happiness.

wage that 1 couldn't remain away
from men and women for ten years.

So speaks Charles II. Hardenburg.
of Trenton, N. j.. who while law
student at Princeton was intimately
acquainted with Joseph Tumulty, At
the time secretary to Woodrow VIII
son. then president of the institution.
Charles Hardenburg is brother
OF Dr. Daniel S. Hardenburg, of Jer-
sey City. a wealthy and prominent
physician.
SAID HE COULDN'T DO 1T.
Charles Hardenburg wagered with
a friend that he could spend ten years
on an island without the companion
ship Of man OF woman. He was
broken in health, too. and had been
advised to go away.
Hardenburg was twenty-four years
of age when he first became the sole
occupant of Watts Island, which Is
located in the Chesapeake bay, seven
teen miles from the mainland, the
nearest towns being Crisheld, Md, and
Onancock. Va. The island contains
four acres and lies between Tangier
Island and Fox Island. There Is no
means OF transportation except by
means OF rowboats and launches

this hardship was endured by Charles

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.- Several
members of the White Sox baseball
team will be quizzed by the Cool
county grand jury which is investi-
eating the alleged baseball gambling
scandal, in an effort to get at the
bottom of reports that Fred McMul-
lin, Sox utility player, distributed
mysterious packages, containing
money, to other members of his team
during the last world series.

When the players are questioned II
was reported today that the name Of
Chick GandIl, former first baseman,
may be connected with that OF Nc

McMuIlin IL said to have been q pal

He based his statement on "tip"

tives and friends to take a long
needed rest with the hope that his
health might be restored.
1t was then that he wagered with
his college chums that he would go
away from the noise and clamor OF
city life for 10 years to some quiet
place where he could be left alone
with his books to study. His friends
scoffed at the idea, remarking that
he would never to able to stand the
monotony and self-imposed hardships.
But young Hardenburg was resolute.
His health was at stake. and he was
perhaps iIled with a secret ambition
for a touch OF adventure.
Accompanied by his brother, DR..
Daniel s. Hardenburg. a Jersey City
IN. j. physician, he came to the soils
OF the Southern shore of Virginia in
quest of a. quiet spot where he could
begin his 10 yeafs Of solitary life, and
after observing the land in this
vicinity finally decided that Watts
Island was the most suitable. Hard
enburg bought the island.
FITTED OUT FOR HERMITs LIFE.
when young Hardenburg FIRST took
up his abode on the island he was
furnished with a wefl-stockef library,
modern farming implements and sew
eral horses to till the soil. and as an
ASSURANCE that he would not be mo-
Tested or removed from the island un-
til the ten years had expired, the
island was purchased by his brother,
Dr. Hardenburg, from a man named
John Dreamis.
He ventured from the island only
once a year, when he would visit
either Onancock, Va, or Crisfeld,
Nd, to replenish his stock of food and
obtain clothing for the long winter
months The horses which were
placed on the island soon died, and
Hardenbure soon tired OF agricul-
tural life and devoted most OF his
leisure time in nshing and grabbing,
seafood being abundant in the waters
which surround the Island.
NEAR STARVATION ONCE.
During some OF the most severe
winter months, when he found his
food supply exhausted and was pre-
vented from leaving the island bv
prolonged storms. he was compelled
TO put up signals OF dIstress. once
during a northeast gale which swept
the coast for more. than a week, Har.
denbure found his food chest empt,
and was unable to leave the Island

bARRETTH|DES
FROM ARREST
Officers, With Warrant Charg-
ing $l25,000 Robbery,
Can't Find Him.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 26.-
Capt. William Barrett, who said no
came to the United States. from
London on a hunting trip, is today
himself the subject Of a hunt.
WHEREABOUTS A MYsTERY.
Federal officers. armed with a war
rant accusing him of stealing
$125, 900 worth OF gems from Mrs.
John d. Spreckels. jr.. in London. are
trying to nnd him, while his friends
and his attorneys alike declare they
are ignorant as to his whereabouts.
What annoys the officers is the fact
that some three days ago he had been
questioned and released. from custody
because there was no warrant for
him At that time.
Barrett led an interesting life here,
according to all accounts. Having
come to Los Angeles about six weeks
ago, the former army flyer, whose
elopement with Alice Gordon Drexel.
Of Philadelphia, in 1918, caused a
sensation, secured work In the NOV
los. He lived in luxury at An exolu-
sive hotel.
DENIED DEsESTING WIFE.
Barrett. when questioned here a
had deserted his wife at Nice, France.
several months. ago and declared that.
ON the contrary, he had sent for her
to join him.
He also denied the theft of Mrs.
Spreckels' jewels. although he was
said by officers to have admitted
knowing the spreckels In London.
Police surveillance over Barrett was
WITHDRAWN whcn Attorney Geisler. rep
resenting Barrett. threatened habeas
corpus proceedingA Barrett promised
to keep them informed as to ne where
abouts. Thursday night he spent with
friends at Pasadena. Since then he has
dropped out OF sight.
SAIL A MIsTAKE,s HE SAYS.
When Barrett, who had been using
the names Gordon and Latham, he
says. to elude newspaper men. was
questioned before his departure on
the subject OF the warrant for his
arrest, he persisted that 1t was "all a
mistake" He said:
There is nothing criminal in my
connection with Mrs. Spreckles's
Jewels, and as soon as my London
solicitoSs can investigate and wire
I'm sure I'll be cleared. I've done
nothing to run away for. There is no
truth to reports that my wife and
have separated
In her statement to Scotland Yard
in London, Mrs. Spreckles said she
gave the jewels to Captain Barrett
upon his offer to have them insured
for her. He was formerly with the
United States Aair Force and is the
husband OF Mrs, Alice Gordon Drexel
Barrett, daughter Of John r. Drexel,
Of New York and Philadelphia.
Since Barrett arrived from Europe
he has done much travelling and ap-
parentIy has taken pains to keep
his Identity secret. He registered at
fashionable hotel here as Bash
Gordon, Of London. A man says he
boasted of an estate in Monte Carlo.
and said he was an intimate friend
of the Shah Of Persia
TOOK "sECRErARY- ALONG.
In spite of the assertions. that Bar
rett was none too well supplied with
funds when he left the hotel for
Hollywood, he took with him one of
the bellboys to act Is secretary"
and still retains him. Barrett says he
came to Los Angeles to take up mo-
tion picture work.
Attorney Geisler intimated ne Is pre-
pairing to resist proceedings for. the ex-
tradition of his client.
