bYRD'S Wife IS
SHY YOUNG woman
She Shuns Spotlight Of Her
Husband

Boston R-The spotlight OF pub
lie attention has sought in vain to
focus on Mrs. Richard E. Byrd, wife
Of the intrepid naval aviator.
Although Lieutenant Commander
>'yrd recognizes here as full
tledged partner in his aeronautic
ACHIEVEMENTS, she refuses to take
public share in his glory and de-
clines to allow. herself or her four
children to be exploited.
When her husband made his sue
cessful flight over the North Pole
in 1926, Mrs. Byrd went into the
country, keeping her address Sc
cret. After seeing here husband off
on his transatlantic flight she went
into seclusion at her home here.
When she went to New York to
meet her husband on his return
from his polar and transatlantic
flights she remained in the back
ground.
But while Mrs. Byrd has sought
no share in the honor that has been
heaped upon her husband, Com
'AA~AuSA DyAN 4IlAAlSoCll dltSI Ills lllEut
to France paid deep tribute to her
and to his mother as full partners
in his adventures.
Indeed" he said, II should have
gone mad but for two things First,
my mothers sharing in my fondest
hopes, and second, my wife's adroit
discovery of the compelling urge
within me, which I thought l was
concealing. Promptly thereon she
acquiesced in my taking up these
hazardous efforts in deadly earnest"
When he returned safely from the
North Pole, and again when he
landed safely in France, he said he
thought: WELL. again this little
family partnership has been sue
cussful, leaving body and mind able
to try some other worthwhile
thing"
Although Mrs. Byrd has never
made known publicly her feelings
toward the hazardous undertakings
in which her husband is engaged,
members of her household say that
she is as courageous as she is mod
est. At the time Of the polar flight
a nurse in the Byrd home said,
Her. worry since Commander
Byrd's departure has been some
thing tremendous, but she has new
er WINGED and has been confident
all the time that he would be sue
cessful."
Before her marriage Mrs. Byrd
was Miss Marie Donaldson Ames of
Boston. She was married to Com
mander Byrd at Winchester, Va,
Jan. 20 1915, when he was an en-
sign.

stated, the sale of potatoes could be

tions submitted. He said that he
would place the matter before the
Board of Governors of the Association
at the earliest possible moment, as

sumner at the most reasonable price.

Wisconsin Senate Has

Madison, Wis, July 27 R-The Wisconsin senate is dry. Without debating the question yesterday afternoon, the upper house by more than double vote killed the Pola- kowski amendment which would have repealed the state prohibition enforcement law.
 Last Friday before adjourning the weekend recess. the senate advanc- ed the amendment to engrossment by an 11-10 vote. The measure met defeat today by the surprising vote of 16-7. This is the second measure offered by the vets, as protest against the 18th amendment.
 The other bill, known as the Duncan beer bill. which would have removed the penalties from the state by dry law, had passed both houses. but it was vetoed by Gov ernor Zimmerman.

GOLD DISCOVERY
 DAYS IN PAGEANT
WSterners to Stage Event for
 Cooldg9

Custer. 8. D., July 27 (UP)-Likt citizens of Oberammergau who lead their lives for their Passion Play town folk of Custer have beer schooled for their annual reproduce tion of Gold Discovery Days" To- day they planned to stage their pageant for President and Mrs. Coo lidge with all the terrifying color of combats between palefaces and In dians of that early period.
 There was old General Custer with real white beard: Hartio N. Ross, as natural Custer soldier as if he had just risen from his grave. There were Sioux Indians from the nearby reservation-passiv descend ants of those who. in similar cos tune, besieged the little stockade on French Creek and scalped women and children. All have let their hair and boards grow for the occa- sion.
 And there at the exact spot in French Creek where Ross banned the first gold of the Black Hills July 27, 1874. was a revivified Ross with his tin basin sitting the mud and sand of the rushing mountain stream.
 The show is designed to reveal through 300 characters how Old General Custer led his troops out here in "A to investigate rumors of Indians that creeks of gold flowed down from the hills; to typify the glamor at the time of the gold dis covery and the rush to this terri tory: blood-curdling combats be- tween rustic whites and Indians who resented the coming into this sacred Sioux hunting ground, and finally the establishment of the town of Custer.
 Townspeople raise special boards and let their hair grow just for the annual occasions.

 There are many old people still here who came out to this spot F miles from the summer white house in '76 and 'S0 and to them the event holds keen interest. While local newspapers describe Custer as a thriving little city" it Is not much changed from early days and there are still, many buildings on Main street which look like houses in COW towns of wild west movies.
 President and Mrs. Coolidge will motor here for the two hour show and return to Game Lodge immedi- ately thereafter. They will witness the spectacle from a white house automobile. Some 15,000 persons are expected to attend.

BOSTON AND MAINE
 EARNINGS DECLINE
Fall Off Over Same Period of Year Ago

Boston, July 27 (UP)-The Bos. ton and Maine railroad in June earned a net income of $512,252 which compared with a net income of $6S2,93S in the same month last year. according to the monthly state- ment made public today.
 There was a decline of $336,S91 in gross operating revenues, of which the passenger account was s126,322 less. and the freight ac- count $130,369 less than in June of last year.
 For the six months period the de- cline in operating revenues was s. 615,150, of which $S00,999 was in passenger revenues and the balance divided between freight, express and incidental items.
 Discussing the decline in passen- ger revenues. railroad officials said that while there were evidences that many people who have owned auto- mobiles for a numbe:' of years were returning to travel by train, larger numbers were buying autom obiles for the first time were being lost to the trains.
 The statement showed increased expenditures for maintenance of roadway and equipment aggregating s2S6,S72 for the six months period, and it was stated the wage bill for the six months was $703,300 larger than it would have been without the recent arbitration awards and other increases.
