TAFT, ARTIST,
DEAD AT 70

CHICAGO, Oct. 80 G.N.S).
The internationally famous sculp'
tor, dorado Taft, died suddenly
at his home here today. He was
76 years old.
A week ago Taft suffered a
stroke and had been very i'll
since then.
He died in his studio rooms,
surrounded by the works of art
that made him a world celebrity
One of his greatest works was
'The Fountain of Time" on the
midway at the University Of Chi
cago. This was erected to mark
100 years of peace and friendship
among the English-Speaking
peoples.
The famous sculptor was born
at Elmwood, ILL.,, on April 20,
1860. He was graduated from the
University of Illinois and later
studied in Paris. His work won
gold medals at the st. Louis Elk
position and the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo, N. Y.
Several critics called Taft the
greatest contemporary sculptor in
America.

G.N.S0. - Winging home to a
warm but wifeless reception,
James A. Mollison became the
transatlantic shuttle champion to-

Exhausted and at the point of

M, E. s. t., after a record-break-
ing 13-hour-and-13-minute flight
from Harbor Grace, Newfound-
land.
His Wife Absent
A large crowd cheered Mollison,
one of the few ocean pilots since
Lindbergh to fly directly to his
appointed destination. But his
equally famous flying wife, who
wishes now to be known only by
her maiden name of Amy John
son, was not here to welcome him,
and their recent rift was made
the more emphatic.
Lifted out of the cockpit, hardly
able to move, Mollison revealed a
near-tragedy in mid-Atlantic. He
said:
II wasted an hour out there,
circling around in a warmer
stratum Of air, trying to melt
ice formations off my wings"
For the actual water crossing,
Mollison easily beat all records
ignoring superstition by landing
in 1913 on Friday. The closest
comparison is Amelia Earhart's
1312-hour flight from Harbor
Grace to Londonderry in 1884.
The mark of 1712 hours set by
Harry Richman and Dick Merrill,
from New York to Wales, remains
unbroken, however. MolliSon's

D0GHELPSMAN
FOIL Thief

A would-be thief learned last
night that it's hard to beat the
combination of a great dane dog
and a man with a powerful right
fist.
George A. Coulon, local real es-
tate dealer, who lives at 1929
Aspen st. N. w., had his great
dane Eric, with him when he
went into a store at Eleventh and
E SITS. S. w. He had left some
groceries in his car parked out
side.
AS he returned to the car he
noticed a man in the act of tax
ing some of the groceries, and
said to Eric:
"SiC 'em.''
Eric responded, and as the man
dropped the groceries Coulon let
go a right that knocked him to
the ground.
He then went back to the store
to call the police, but when he
came out again, two men were car
rying the victim away.
