PIERRE LOTT, FRENCH
NOVELIST, DEAD AT 73
Judged by Many as Finest De.
scriptive Writer-Visited
u. S. in 1912.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HENDAYE. France. June IL
Pierre Lott. the novelist. died at his
home here yesterday. The end came
peacefully, with his bedside sur
rounded by his children and a few
of his friends
NJ Lott had been in frail health for
long time. He returned to his be-
loved Basque country last Tuesday,
and sank rapidly until death inter-
vened. He will be buried in tomb
he built on the Island of Oleron. in
the Atlantic, off the coast of Cha
rente-lnferieure.
When at his best Pierre Lott was
judged by many critics of literature
the last quarter of the nineteenth
century, and the early years of the
twentieth. For forty years he trav-
eled thte seas as French naval Off
Ger. and visited lands in all parts of
the world.
His real name was Louis Marie
Julien Viaud. The parents. to whom
he was born at Rochefort in 1850,
were of old Huguenot families, and
they intended that the son be a min
lister, but at seventeen he entered a
naval school and rose gradually in
this profession until he was COM
missioned a captain.
Most of Lofts travels were in the
orient, and most of his literature
has its setting in that part of the
world. In 1912 Lott came to America
to superintend the rehearsal of THE
Daughter of Heaven" dramatic
spectacle of the orient. in which he
was the co-author with Mile. Judith
Gautier. He was shy. refusing to let
photographers snap him aboard ship
or at his hotel, and he professed him
self as overcome by the bombardment
of reporters interrogations. New
York he described as a furious fur
mace of living.

yesterday at Catholic university with
professors, the student body, students
from the thirteen religious houses near
by, the sisters college and scores of
parents and friends in attendance. Mass

livered by Rev. William J. Kerby, pro-
fessor of sociology at the university,
who propounded the doctrine of THE
Gospel of Trustworthiness." The quail

tingent upon the manner in which the
educated man was trusted.
DIR. Kerby criticized the tendency Of
young men and women Of today to dis
regard means which might establish rep
utation and character, to disregard the
time proven precepts of experience and
TO affect a too cheerful self confidence
which easily might unseat any sound
progress toward trustworthiness.
A meeting of the executive council of
the lay alumni association was held
later in the day. 1t was followed by an
entertainment by the university glee
club. departmental band and several
soloists. A reception and smoker ten
