FATE Up At
CONFAB Today
Conferences Are Likely to
Be Beginning OF End
in London.
By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS
Times stan Correspondent

LONDON. March 27.-Today
marks the beginning Of the end of
the naval conference. Today'S
events, even though we may not
know the exact details until later,
largely will decide the fate of ma
val limitations for the present.
Premier BRAND. who returned
from Paris Wednesday night, met
heads of the other delegations late
today and conversations which we're
scheduled eventually will make or
break the parley.
The problem which France, Brit
ain and America in particular face
Is filed with vital ifs and butts. AS
was pointed out weeks ago, If the
conference was to succeed, a con-
sulate pact from America and a
Mediterranean agreement from Brit
ain. in exchange for the signature
of France to q f1ve-poTer naval
treaty. has become the crux of the
situation.
However reluctantly America may
do so. she now is expected to tell
France she will agree to consulta-
tive clause If all concerned thor
oughly understand she is not
pledged to military action and If
Britain will satisfy French demands
for Mediterranean security.
Equally reluctant. Britain is eX-
pected to tell France that she will
make a further offer Of security
based perhaps upon League of Ma
tons guarantees-if America will
come into a security pact and if
France in return will bury the
Ratchet with Italy, cut her tonnage
demands, and sign a f1ve-power
treaty.
Upon some such conditions the
fate of the conference hinges and
todays negotiations must go far to-
ward settling the issue.

Some Relatives of Man
Once Believed Dead Skep-

VINCENNES, Ind, March 27. -
From sand lot baseball in Vim
cennes, through the World war, to-
day military prisoner in faraway
Algiers, is the life story of Merlen
Pritchard, in whose behalf plea
for liberty will be made to President
Hoover Friday.
At the close of the war, the body
of a soldier then supposed to be
Pritchard's, was brought here and
buried. A few months ago it de-
veloped Pritchard was still living
and an inmate of the Algerian
prison.
Fellow players of Pritchard on
the Dutch Flats Ramblers baseball
team are positive the man impris-
oned is Pritchard, basing their
opinion on pictures published re-
Gently in newspaper. Roy Gree
more and George Flack are among
those who made the Identification.
The former recalls Pritchard as a
lank, lazy six-footer with a Won
derful pitching arm. He and Pritch-
ard were the only boys in the Dutch
Flats, section of Vincennes, who
could throw a stone from the tracks
Of the Big Four railroad to the roof
of an old distillery.
Pritchard'S aged mother has
identified the newspaper pictures as
those of her son, but other rela-
tives here, who refused to permit
publication Of their names, are
doubtful
One of the relatives said:
II grew up with him. l believe
it is some buddy Of Merlen's who
got hold of his letters. His mother
is grasping at the hope that he is
her boy. She has grieved much
over his death. Too, she is old.
do not put much faith in her iden-
tiflcation. When the caSket was
opened here, the body had two gold
teeth which convinced Mrs. Pritch-
ard the body was that Of her son"
However, the doubts have not in
f1uenced Robert Gephart of the
Vincennes Forty and Eight, who will
present the case to President Hoo
yer, nor have they changed the
minds of Greemore and Flack.
It has not been made clear for
what offense the prisoner was in
carcerated. Algiers is under French
control, and the man held has
served with the French foreign
legion.

HooSier Jazz King to Make
Final Bow to Fans at
Indiana Tonight.

Goals of a football team and a
Jazz band are widely different, but
training to Their individual ends is
much the same.
That's what Charlie Davis, bow
ing his adieu tonight as master of
ceremonies at the Indiana theater,
learned from intimate association
with q tackling dummy before his
baton became sceptre Of Hoosier
theatrical entertainment.
More than a dozen years ago
Charlie was a big fall guy" for to-
days dean of football mentors,
Knute K. Rockne, tutor of Notre
Dame university'S gridiron-
Failed to Make Team
BY his own admission. Charlie
didn't pick up enough football to
make Rocks university team, but he
absorbed the lesson other Notre
Dame pupils have put into practice
developing gridiron squads
Charlie applied his gridiron team
work lessons to a jazz band, and
that band in eight years rose from
an obscure summer resort engage
ment to stellar placeon the Skou-
ras-Publix stage circuit.
Born Near Theater
Charlie was born Gust when he
does not say within city block
of the Indiana theater which gave
him his opportunity to rise to fame
and the position he is to take.
His parents lived at the north
east corner C Kentucky avenue
and Maryland street when he was
born.
His days at Notre Dame were be-
tween 1917 and 1921. He was a
member of the glee club there and
played in the glee club orchestra
on the annual tours.
Organized Orchestra
Returning here. he organized an
orchestra of his own. playing at
miscellaneous events in the city
During the summer of 1923 his or
cheStra was an attraction at Lake
Manitou.
In September. 1927, his orchestra
was engaged by the Indiana theater
and has been a regular attraction
there ever since. Charlie, himself
spent four weeks in New York as
master of ceremonies at the new
Paramount theater last fall. and his
big city appearance brought him in
to additional national prominence.
After two weeks of rehearsal he
will begin tour Of the SkouraS-

Jr.. and daughter, Mrs. j. ST. John.
there we're present his grandson,
John ST, John; E. E. LOOMS, presl-
dent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
and several others.
Baker is one = of the rurviving
members of the group Of great lead
ers OF industry and finance which
included ]. Pierpont Morgan James
Baker Stillman, James J. Fill and
Theodore N. Vail. Bakers sway has
been longer than MOrgan'S or STILL
mans, his dominance different, and
his field more strictly limited to
banking and representation of the
banking point Of view upon lists bf
important directories.
Mind Still Is Keen
Although he has not put togethet
great corporation as did Morganli1
steel, he has shaped and guided
companies by his influence and 81
gacity as has no other man of IA
time.
At 90 Baker is active and his mini
keen. When in New York he atA
tends regularly the meetings of I'll n
board of his bank, the First Ms
tional. at No Q Wall street, Of tlsol
United States Steel Corporation, the
American Telephone and Telegraph,
the New York Central and Of the
Mutual Life, of which he is trus-
tee.
He has been on. inspection trips
over the Central and Erie during the
past year.
He reads little, but has much
read TO him.
He took up golf at 10, but has
given it up because it interfered
with business.
Unlike John D. Rockefeller, who
gave up work to look after his
health. Baker is still in harness.
Estimates of Bakers wealth have
run from $20O,o00,000 to 100000, 900
and more.
He became president Of the First
National in 1874 when its capital
was S5CC.000 He Is believed to own
10000 shares of it's stock, which, at
its price last week, are worth $1l4,-
600,0C0 He is the largest stakeholder
Of United States Steel. with $4,000
shares, and of A T. and T., with
SO, 443 shares.
Investments Are Concentrated
Baker has concentrated his in
VeStments and attention on home
industries, companies which are
least affected by foreign markets,
tariff and international affairs.
When the initiation and rapid ex-
pansion Of foreign trade ended in
the defation nightmare Of 1921, the
First National was not at all az
fected.
His outstanding characteristics
are calmness, especially in crises,
taciturnity, unwillingness to COM
promise and shrewd Judgment OF
men. Andrew Mellon is one of his
admirers, and has written much
about his ability and charter.
In recent years Bakers benefac-
tons have totaled millions of doll
lars to Harvard, Cornell, Dart
mouth, Columbia, New York hos
pital and many other institutions.
