WRITES SERIES ON WILL ROGERS

started out to write and misspelled
few words, people said was Just
plain ignorant. But when I got
all the words wrong they accused
me of bein' a comedian and said I
was quaint, the lines read.
Which, taken by and large. was
the story of Rogers in a nutshell,
TOR his daily and Sunday neWspa-
per writings were in a series of mis-
shapen words, but mostly funny.
III read them lines if you want
me to-" Will told Trotti, but peo-
pie are goin' to swear I put EN-
in myself TO alibi my bad writin,'
A typical example of Rogers hu-
NOR was exhibited a year or two
ago when a big rodeo was held in
Madison Square Garden New York
City. Will could always be count
ed ON to dig into his pocket for eX-
ira prize money for the contestants,
but on this occasion he also donat-
ed a rhinestone-Studded feed bag
to the champion wild horse OF the
affair, and il was awarded to NAV
erick" a Wild-syed bundle Of dyn-
amite which wouldn't allow anyone
to stay on his back for more than
a second.
You fellers have been getting
paid for the animals work for
years" he remarked. ITS about

While Ro.ers hob-nobbed with
the elite Of me world and was well
come in palaces of kings and the
mansions of millionaires, he got
more real pleasure out of rounding

DOCTOR TELLS
REASON FOR
SHUT GASKET

HOLLYWOOD. Aug. % UP)-
VII Rogers always expressed the
wish his body should not be viewed
after death and that was the reason
his coffin was closed as he lay N
state prior 10 his funeral today. a
Spokesman for the Rogers family
explained.
N r. G. White said the condi-
ton OF Rogers body had nothing to
do with the decision to seal the
easket.
During his life, Dr.. White said,
Mr. Rogers always said he didn't
want TO be seen after his death.
The order TO close the coffin was
N conformity with that expressed
wish AIr. Rogers body was in ex-
cellent condition. There were brOk-
en- bones but that was about all.
Minor scratches on his face were
hardly visible.
Dr.. White. the Rogers family
physician, said the coffin would be
sealed also during the private ser
vices this afternoon.
The widow, Betty Blake Rogers,
and other members Of the family
viewed The body briefly last night
before the coffin was closed.
Dr.. Whites statement followed
minor expressions Of displeasure
from persons who had stood II line
several hours in the belief that
when they filed by Rogers coffin

@. @. MINTYRE PAYS TRIBUTE TO
MEMORY OF HISPAL WILL ROGERS

NEW YORK. Aug. %. CSpeciaD-
like to think Of VIII Rogers as
! flying on. Certainly no material
! crack-up should halt that blithe
spirit. Freed Of the cloddish body,
he must be ascending new heights,
scaling new peaks. This I firmly
believe. Consciousness after death
is not a mere something to be
| hoped for" with me bot a convic-
tion-aS certain and fixed as the
scatter Of stars at night.
If VIII Rogers were not one of
the most talented men Of his time,
he should have achieved greatness
for this simple statement in a
world swollen and angrily red with
hate: Il never met man did not
like" Trite. yes.-But all truths
are trite. Thou shalt love thy
neighbor" is trite.
I have known Rogers for 20 years,
intimately for 10. We met when I
was a brash and freSh-every-hou
press agent for Flo Ziegfeld and he
was the rope twirling. gum chew
ing comedian star of the Frolic
Roof. He called Ziegfeld Mister
Zeeg-field" then as he did to zieg-
feld's last lingering days when he
looked out for him and later for the
interests OF his widow and daughter
Some years later Rogers and
rode herd in the same syndicate
outfit. We saw each other usually
when he came to town or exchanged
telephone insults. I loved and ad-
mired him as I have few men. We
have bunked at political conventions
and sat on the dais together at
many stupid banquets IN the days
when such things were not the ter
rifle bore to me they are today.
I have visited at his many acred
ranch in Beverly and seen the tend
erness and devotion that he eX-
pressed for his wife. two sons and
the especial apple Of his eye, his
daughter Mary. I never knew him,
nor has anyone else, to do mean
or petty thing. His honesty was as
natural as the pine springing 10 the
sun.
Such rugged fortnight men, just
as Lincoln did, come but once to
generation.
Rogers charm was largely in that
quality I should call unpredictable.
Few men did things as he did.
There was a time walking on the
street with him in Kansas City that
he turned suddenly into a rather
SecOnd-rate clothing store
Want a brown suit, he blurted
TO the surprised clerk, who, OF
course, recognized him. He tried

his pocket possessions.
He could get more mileage out OF

known. He simply put one on and
wore il out.

Four Missing In
Alaskan Plane

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. %,
U.R)--A missing airplane and It's
four occupants were sought by Arc
tic pilots today in the same area
over which the late Wiley Post and
Will Rogers flew 10 days ago be-
tween Dawson and Fairbanks on
their way to their deaths near
Point Barrow.
The missing plane was piloted by
Arthur Hines, formerly of Lusk,
Wyo. With him were John Lonz
and his wife, Fairbanks, and Alton
Norfale, clerk of the court here.
They left Dawson Monday morn
ing and were not heard from af-
terwards. Seven planes joined IN
the search led by Percy Hubbard,
partner of Hines, in a commercial
flying service.

because one Of the smart alec pro-
fesSional hooters in New York had
written something that hurt him
something unfair, savage and with
out justification. Yet there was nc
rancor, no Stinging inYective OF
which he could be the master. He
had spent years in the hurly- burly
Of the ranch house.

But he simply read it. choked up
recovered and talked Of something
else more pleasant. He came to my
apartment often with irwin Cobb
and Anon Carter. of Texas, and
they formed an unbeatable trio in
yarning and riposte.
Cobb and Carter lounging back in
easy chairs and Rogers walking up
and down. twisting, turning, juggling
things on the desk, peeking into
the kitchen, tearing up match flaps
always like a fighter on edge. He
never seemed fatigued-a day at the
studio or a night of rehearsal,
nothing slowed him up In fact I
remember his wife Betty saying one
day: I have never heard Will say
he was tired"
And when one thinks of the
amount Of work he did, the things
he accomplished, the incessant fur
ious pace he set, one wonders how
he spanned more than half cen
tury in top physical form.
l saw him last February 2 OF this
year at q small dinner party at the
VIII Hays in the Waldorf. Betty
was there. The Joseph P. Ken
nedys and my wife and I He was
as always in fine conversational
form, hesitating and dartlng about
like a wren in hedge-roW. Sud
denly he jumped up, glanced at his
wrist watch and said he must be off.
He was TO speak at a dinner, as I
recall. of real estate men. He
slouched out, turned in the doorway
in that Observation-Disclosures
wing manner Of his and called so
long, folksl" I did not know, Of
course, that I was never to see him
again in this world
We drove Mrs Rogers around the
park before delivering her to her
hotel The talk, as always, was
about viii. She and Mary were go
ing on a winter cruise in the Med
iterTanean. Before she left in a
few weeks, she was TO go TO Chicago
and viii was TO fly from Beverly
for a week END and to say goodby.
It will be a sort Of brief honey
moon. she said tremulously. Their
love was great and splendid as any
l have ever seen.

ADMIT TED BY
YOUNG MINER
Recluse In Famed Mother Lode
Country Makes Confession
After Quizzing By Officers

AUBURN Calf, Aug. 22.-Earl
Cramer. 21 alias Kimble, the re
cluSe of Fulda Flats confessed to
Staying two Of the men who have
disappeared in recent months from
the Emigrant Gap gold prospecting
colony, District Attorney Lowell
Sparks reported today after ques-
tioning the youth for hours.
Cramer's alleged confession eX-
planned the disappearance of James
c. Kennett. Ga. retired Chicago
businessman. and the death of a
red-haired youth of about % whose
body was found in an abandoned
mine shaft last week, Sparks and
Sheriff Elmer Gum said.
Kennett's body has not been re-
covered. but authorities expected to
find il by draining the water from
a mine shaft 600 feet deep. Crap
T'mg hooks have brought TO the
surface pieces of cloth and strands
of gray hair from the shaft.
After days of stubborn denial
that he knew anything of the Full l.
da Flats mystery. the wayy-haired
six-foot youth, former sailor and
lone proSpector. broke late last
night. according to Sparks, and told
of the deaths of the men with
whom he had at times occupied ca
bins along the Mother Lode.
The purported confession said
that Cramer, former resident of
Petaluma. Calf. had met Kennett
last spring on a freight train and
had invited him to share his ca
bin. Kennett had come west to re-
cover his broken health.
Fought Over Food
The men lived together until late
in June when they quarreled and
separated. Later Cramer returned
to Kennetts cabin to demand a di-
vision Of food. The argument de
veloped into a fight and the Chi
cagoan aIegedly threatened the
young prospector with knife. Cra-
mer said he shot him, then struck
him with an axe He dumped the
fully-clothed body into the old
mine shaft, after removing a
check for SIS which he cashed at
Auburn.
The red-haired youth, whom the
prisoner knows only as Red" came
along in August and moved in with
Cramer in another cabin along the
Mother Lode. One day the youth
stole Cramer's % calibre rifle. The
prospector caught him and in the
fight that followed stabbed the
authenticated boy twice, then shot
him.

CROWDS PASS
BY BIER Of
WILL ROGERS
BY ALAN X. McELWAIN
United Press Staff Correspondent


HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 22.-Thou-
sands of men, women and children
shuffled slowly through n e
wrought-iron gates of Forest Lawn
cemetery today to glimpse a closed
bronze coffin containing the body
OF VIII Rogers.
Two abreast, they inched along
a lane marked off by new white
ropes across the grass to an arti-
ficial grove of pine and olive trees
where the body lay in state.
There were no halts in the crawl
ing march. Stern-faced airmen
standing at attention before, be-
hind and on the flanks of the bier,
would permit none to linger beside
the dead.
II was such a crowo as Rogers
would have loved. They were his
kind of people-typical middle-class
Americans. None had the appear
ance of wealth. Few appeared to
be extremely poor. 1t was such q
crowd as parades to small town
churches on Sunday morning, and
it wore a Sabbath demeanor
Many of the mourners had walt
ed before the high cemetery gates
since midnight in their anxiety to
be near the fallen humorist a last
time.
First in line were Mr.. and Mrs
Edward Travis of San Diego, who
had sat before the barred portal
! for seven hours before they were
allowed to enter.
Claimed Honor
Many claimed the honor of hav-
ing been first at the gates, and a
few were willing even to squabble
over their claims, but Mr.. and Mrs
Travis appeared to have been fore
most.
| Third and fourth were Helen
Willmott and Duanie Wells, both
OF Long Beach, who came equipped
with folding chairs for the vigil
They arrived at 1890 a. m, they
said
, Miss Willmott said she knew the
casket was to be closed, but we

our respects anyway

Learned they were not to be per-
mitted to see the body. Many ap-
parently did not know until the
last minute that the coffin woulc
be kept closed, and some murmur-
ed angrily.
