Boston, July / P1-An all-night
vigil ended joyously for Mrs. Rich
ard E. Byrd at her mothers home
here this morning when Grover

Press.
She listened carefully to the read
ing Of the dispatches from France
and then said:
please say for me how thankful
I am for the kindness OF the news
papers who have kept US informed
throughout the entire fight"
Whatever fears Mrs. Byrd may
have entertained for the safety of
her husband and his companions
vanished when she learned they had
been taken to the village inn and

That's good" she exclaimed. Mrs.
Byrd explained that the news pre-
cluded any possibility of doubt that
the commander was safe and sound.
She remained awake, however, to
obtain further details from Associat-
ed Press dispatches as they were re-
ceived.

Of these were newspapermen.
Among the faithful who maintain

Bert Acosta and Mrs. George o. No
Vile, who refused to give way to
fear even when their husbands were
missing for hours.
When a cablegram was received
from Commander Richard E. Byrd
addressed to his wife saying he had
landed and all were safe, the two
women telephoned Mrs. Byrd in
Boston and they exchanged words
OF joy on being relieved of the in
tense strain. .a

SAVED FROM SLOW
Death IN CELLAR
Springfield Man, Injured, Six
Days Without Food

Springfield, Mass, July 1 R-six
days without food or water and so
crippled with rheumatism that he
could not move from where he had
fallen, Daniel Mccarthy, 50, was
brought back virtually from the
grave yesterday when police rescued
him from the basement of an apart
ment house, where he had lain since
last Friday.
Although there are more than 100
persons in the apartment building
and scores pass hourly near the
basement window by which he lay,
the old man was SO weak he could
attract no attention until a ground
floor tenant happened to hear his
weak cries today.
Mccarthy fell while emptying
some trash in the basement. During
the six days and nights he lapsed
frequently into coma and had no
idea of the passage of time.
At City hospital. it was said he
would live.
Mccarthy came here from Suffield
81 years ago.

the fliers were safe.
The big event at the field took
place at 7:45 last night when false

CHARLES HUMbERT,
 WAR FIGURE, DIES
Former French Senator Tried
 and Acquitted of Treason

Paris, Nov. 2 LP-Charles Hum bert, former French senator, tried and acquitted in connection with the Bolo Pasha treason case during the Great War and exonerated of fraud in American war contracts in 1919, died here today.
 He was one of the most prominent figures in the military preparation campaign in France previous to the war. He kept up appeals both in the pers, his slogan being: More can non, more ammunition
 He was sent to the United States late in 1914 10 buy war materials for the French army, but was re- called after a few months activities.
 Tn 1918 Humbert was tried on a charge Of having intelligence with the enemy. The charge growing out of his relations with Bolo Pasha, the notorious leader of the "defeatist" movement in France, who was sen- tenced to death and shot at Vim cennes April IT, 1918.
 Humbert, one of the leading fig ures in the so-Called bonnet rouge defeatest conspiracy, went on trial in 1919. He was acquitted. He hac been arrested five days after the conviction of Boio PaSha and had been in jail for the intervening time. Tho cnpcjfjf- oh 10 ct b; that he and several other men bought the newspaper Le Journal with enemy money for the purpose of conducting a defeatist propa gam da. The court martial voted four to three in favor of Humbert.
 In 1919 United States Attorney General Becker exonerated Humbert of fraud in the United States in connection with contracts entered into five years previously when Humbert had gone to the United States to buy war supplies for France.
 In 1925 Humbert filed a libel complaint against M. Poincare, now premier. the charge growing out of Humbert's' trial in the Bolo Pasha case. The French attorney general ruled that there was no ground for prosecution for defamation involved.
 In recent years Humbert has dropped out of political life.
 tThc Bolo Pasha treason conspir- acy. one of the most sensational in cidents of the Great War, also brought into the limelight the name of former Premier Caillaux since Caillaux had friendship with Bolo Pasha M. Caillaux later was tried for his treason and was sentenced to three years imprisonment, a term which he had already served. He was also forbidden residence in French territory for five years,
 At the various trials it was con tended that Bolo Pasha entered into communication with German agents in support of q defeatcst propagan- da. It was declared that he tray , clled in the United States in 191 5-1 ( and received more than S1,j00, DOC from representatives or Count Nor Bernstorff, al that time German am, i bassador at Washington.
