Louis Baeza della Guadra, a
young Brazilian, who danced his
way into the affections of Mrs.
Marie Van Baele, an 80-year-old
lady, has been deprived by law of
the $2,000,000 which his aged
friend left him.
A strange story all around is the
tale of that fortune. Jacob Rutt-
gers Leroy, a wealthy American
attor icy, left the money in the
first plc-e to Mrs. Van Baele in
1925. He was to have married
her, but a few hours before the
wedding, he did, leaving her as
his sole heir.
AS she was 10 years OF age at the
time, and Mr.. Leroy referred to
her as his young friend" his
family felt justified in declaring
he was of unsound mind when the
will was made.
One Of Many
young" Mrs. Van Baele sank
her grief over the untimely taking
off of Mr.. Leroy by watching the
heel-and-toe work Of Mr.. della
Guadra. According to one account,
she herself was no stranger to the
dancing floor, where she was
piloted about by the young Bra
Kilian with the ease Of a motor
boat hauling a barge.
Mrs. Van Baele was only one of
thousands of rich women who
spend their time and money on the
Riviera and patronize the gigolo
gogetterS.
Statistics show that in Mediter-
ranean resort, there are eight rich
women to every male Of this spe-
cieS-men who dance divinely, pay
compliments and assure elderly
women they can "never grow old"
The World War is held account
able for this strange industry. At
the Palm Beach Casino, at Cannes,
shortly after the ArmiStice was
signed, there were so hosteSSeS and
only two dancing men.
But as the rich American women
Of the usual age" began to flock
there, the hoStesseS lost their jobs,
and the gigoloS swept down on
aging ladies like 17-year locustS,
These sleek-haired, nimble-footed
Sheiks are said to average from So
to SO an afternoon, with cock
tails thrown in, for dancing with
ladies who will never grow old"

The profession Of gigolo is a long
way easier than selling goods back

ductor or guard on a railroad

quently poor, lonesome old widows.
like Mrs. Van Baele, leave them
fortunes, If there are no near rela-
tiveS to contest the case, and the
SheikS make a getaway. But occa-
sionally there is an inquiry, such
as happened in the Monte Carlo
courts.
Mr.. Jacob Rutgers Leroy's Bel
gian nieces and nephews insisted
upon an inquiry. and M. Henri
Jasper, former Belgian premier,
pleaded for them in court last
month, to the undoing of the hopes
Of Mr.. Della Guadra.
Curiously enough, the Cont
mental gigolo is not ashamed Of
his job.
But, thank goodness, it's diff
ferent here in these United States,
where a man would be as slow
about confessing himself a mem
ber of the gigolo confraternity as
he would about admitting he was a
professional racketeer.

SPORTS WORLD M0URNS DEATH,
 KING GEORGE
Enthusiastic Principal Lost Took Part in Many
 Pastimes


 LONDON, Jan. 31.--By the death of king George V the sporting world has lost che of it's most en- thusisstic principals. The King of England was not merely an inter- ested spectator of events in the world of sport, but he took a keen and wholehearted part himself in many pastimes. He was a Skillful golfer, crack shot, a yachtsman, and a devoted, if unlucky, follower of horseracing.
 Perhaps it was in yachting that the King was best known. His Britannia" was always in high rating for the annual Royal Re- gatta at CoWes The Kings early training made him an excellent seaman, and he had little objection to racing in the stiffest of weather He was thoroughly acquainted with the fine points of yacht racing and the captain of the Britannia knew that if he were in tight place and needed an answer for his problem he could always rely on his King to furnish one.
 Pulled on Rope
 The King invariably was aboard the Britannia" for the races Nor did he take merely passive part. Several instances have been re- corded when the King lent a hand himself in pulling lustily on rope.
 One or two American yachts and yachtsmen have had the privilege of taking part in yachting compe- tition with the royal sailor. Several yachts which competed in the King of Spain's 1928 Trans Atlantic race to Santander have at various times come to England to test their speed against the Britannia One of the Kings firmest friends was Sir Thomas Lipton, who owned the famous line of Shamrock" yachts, anu eIleItQ bllclll tliilc dltcl IllIlC against American boats.
 It is worthy of notice that in no race was the King ever given an advantage because of his posi- tion. For instance, several years ago. in the Bristol Channel Royal Regatta, the owner of the yacht "Westward" protested against the "Britannia, asserting that the Kings boat did not give the West ward" a free course around one of the buoys. The committee de- clared the protest valid and dis qualified the "Britannna' from winning the second prize, Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock" hay ing captured the first.
 Had Good Stable
 King George was well known, too, in England for his Newmarket racing stable. But in this venture he was much less fortunate than in yachting. In one year he lost about s1O0,0O0 His winnings in that year were only $5,000, and his expenses just over S100,000 In con- sequence of his losses in this year,

King George made efforts to curtail his racing proclivities.

King George made efforts to curtail his racing proclivities.
 In this respect, he took after his father, Edward VII. Queen Vic toria's letters and diary published in recent years disclose that she wrote to her son, urging him not to make too many visits to the race tracks. One letter begins:
 Dearest Bertie: Now that As cot is approaching I wish to re- peat earnestly and seriously that you confine your visits to the races to Tuesday and Thursday, and that you do not go "Wednesday or Friday, to which our Uncle William W never went, nor did we"
 Coed Hcrseman
 King George V was himself good hcrseman, uniting the rare qualifications of being an eques- trisn and also a sailor. He was fre- ,ouently seen. even after he was sixty years old, riding on Rotten Row in Hyde Park, early in the morning. He would also frequently ride out to the field to start off a hunting pack.
 Even when not entering a horse in a race, the King was frequent spectator of the major races. Sev- eral years ago, while @ guest of the Duke of Richmond the King drove over to Goodwood every day fer the races as long as the sea- son lasted.
 FcuI Ball
 Tho Kings tastes in sport were certainly catholic. He attended football, cricket and polo matches, Ind in 1924 was 8 delighted spec tstcr at a baseball game between the New York Giants and the Chi csgo White Sox, who were travel ing in Europe. A foul ball sped directly for the Crowned Head at one portion of the game, and al- though the King was well protected by the wire screening behind home plate, he dodged, evidencing quick reaction and good eye. Follow ing the game the members of both teams were introduced to the King and the Prince of Wales.
 George V was an excellent rifle shot. His skill in grouse shooting will be long remembered in the Yorkshire Moor District.
 The King was a golfer of more than moderate ability. The Prince of Wales often cast good-humored aspersions on his own golf, but this could not have been the case with the King. Next to yachting and horse racing, the King liked a good game of golf On his sum- mer visits to Ballnoral Castle, Eng land, and to Holyrood Castle. he enjoyed many 8 round on true old Scottish greens.

gate Yosiyuki Itimiya and Aklra

any, with Farnsworth.
Testimony of the two japanese Is
material to the defense, and cannot

serted. Neither of the Japanese Is
now q diplomatic representative to
the United States, and consequently
may be questioned without violation OF

move would delay the trial. Beach
said he felt sure it could not be held

HOME LOANS
END IN APRIL

More than $4,000 home owners
who have appealed to the Home
Owners Loan Corporation for
mortgage loans face sharp disap-
pointment when the lending activ.
tiles of the agency are termi.
mated in April, it became known
last night.
With $500 applications still
pending, 3 per cent Of all petit
tions filed with the Hole since
it began operations. officials de-
clared funds remaining will be
sufficient to care for only about
10000.
The others. officials said, will be
advised to address their pleas
to private lending institutions
which, a national survey by the
Hole indicates, are now in q
strong position to refinance these
homes.
Reports from field offices
throughout the country show 972,-
1877 mortgage loans have been
completed by the Hole, involv-
ing a total Federal investment of
$2,941,273,716.
Directors of the organization,
after a study Of the situation af-
fecting funds in private institu-
tions. have decided against any
new move for additional emer-
gency funds. The lending activi-
ties in seven States have been
concluded and those in the other
States are expected to be finished
in April. Under the law June
Is of this year was set as the
final date for making mortgage
loans.
