his home in Nashville where he
kept him in school for six years.
Major Donly was the father of
a fair daughter, Rosa, and a
youthful attachment was devel-
oped between the two young
people. Greenwood LeFlore, in
keeping with the high sense of
honor that governed him through
life. told Major Donly of his love
for Rosa, and asked permission
to marry her. The Major and
Mrs. Donly objected on accoun.
of the youthfulness of both par
ties. Some time afterwards the
young man asked Major Donly
what he would do if he were in
love and the lady's parents OBJ
jected to his marrying her. With
out suspecting the design of the
question, the Major said: Il
would steal her and run away
with her, The young folks
promptly acted on this advice and
went to the home of a neighpor
where they were married. They
were soon forgiven.
Not long after his marriage,
Greenwood LeFlore returned to
Mississippi, where in 1922,
though but 81 years of age, he
was elected Chief of the Choctaw
Nation. The title of Colonel
was conferred upon him and he
was given a sword and medal
which Thomas Jefferson had be.
slowed upon a former Chief. The
sword was a beautiful blue steel
blade with gold mounted handle.
The medal was of silver, about 4
inches in diameter, and was SYM
bolic of the peace and good will
which existed between the United
States and the Choctaw Nation.
Greenwood LeFlore's influence
over the Indians was good and
spread throughout the entire ma
ton. He was a recognized ad-
vocate of education for the In
dians, and under his leadership,
the Council enacted laws for the
support of teachers, put down
witchery and sorcery, and SCI
cured for every homicide a fair
trial despite the unwritten Indian
law of blood for blood and life forl
life. He prohibited the sale of
intoxicants and encouraged rel
ligious and civil marriages, per-
manent residence, cultivation of
the soil, and the Christian refill
gion.
He was always the unfinching
champion of his people. At one
time, being satisfied that the
Agent of the United States was
making unjust demands on his
people and dealing dishonestlY
with them, he appealed to Presi-s
dent Jackson for the Agents rel
moval. The President declined
to interfere. LeFIo}e immedi{

with the President and stated his

by his insistence on the removal

MOTOR MYSTERY IS
EXPLAINED BY RIDER
Officials Say Mat Warden
Confessed He Filed Broken
Axle Himself.

The mystery connected with the break
down OF the motorcycle ridden Thursday
night by Mat Warden at the motordrome
was cleared up in an unexpected manner
yesterday, According 10 Wardens state
ments TO those investigating the case,
he filed the pieces OF the broken axle
after the accident happened.
Warden hoped to secure his bonus by
proving that the machine had been tam
pered with" said Manager Norman Hop
per yesterday. Il am sorry that War
den should have TO suffer humiliation,
but the Johnson boys have n right 10 be
exonerated."
The discovery that led TO the solution
OF the mystery occurred Saturday when
the pieces OF the exile were fitted togeth-
er by Sheriff Sharp. II was found that
though the broken ends fitted perfectly
the filed pieces on them didn't match
Knowing that the filing could not have
been done while the axle was in ono
piece. the Investigators tried 70 assemble
the machine by using the axle IN the
broken condition. This could not be done
The conclusion was that the filing must
have occurred after the break before
the broken fixture was taken TO the
judges stand. This proved 10 be cor
rect. and was borne out, II Is declared
oy Warde ems confession. Had the pieces
been fitted together and held In wise
while the filing was done, the fake might
have been harder 10 detect say those who
saw the parts matched.

Few Heavy" Engines.
One OF the exhibits presented by
President Worthingtou shows that only
about per cent of the locomotives
now In service are what can be prop
erly classified as "heAvy.' It Is upon
the allegation Of "heavy' locomotive
that the dissatisfied engine drivers
have based their claim for higher
prices. The locomotives now in com
mission vary in weight from l7s,00O
10 100000 rounds. This led TO dis
cuSsion between p. H. Morrissny. the
chosen representative of the engineers
brotherhood on the commission. and
President David Willard OF the Balti
more & Ohio. the chosen representa-
tive Of tho railroads. Commissioner
MorriSSey contended that the railroads
get larger return for the service
from the engineers who drive the
sponded:
Pay Is Higher.
"If you take into account the ten
deney of the engines TO increase in
weight, should you not keep in mind
the fact tha, there is a higher rate
established for the heavier engines
As Mr.. Worth!ng gton has stated. the en-
gineer does not run the larger engine
at the same rate which he runs the
smaller one. II might be thought. for
Increased in sire. the engineers have
received steady. stationary rate.
That, Of course, is not true, because
the heavier engines carry a higher rate
on the majority OF the roads,
Mr.. Willard endcavored to explain
how the railroads have attempted TO
make their economies TO meet the in.
creases in operating expenses. This
