Macon, Ga, jan 26.-If all the
whiskey stored in the cellar and cells
at the city hall as the outcome Of
Chief Rileys raids were distributed
among Macon's $4,000 population, there
would be about third of a quart for
each inhabitant.
Exactly 1O2 barrels of whiskey, said
by experts to contain 40 gallons each
are being stored in five cells and one
large spare room in the corridor Of
the local city holdover.
If Macon herself could derive the
benefit of the sale Of this liquor, re-
venue amounting to more than $10-
900 would be had.
The Georgia state law provides for
the destruction of confscated liquor.
If that law is carried out, the liquor
representing thousands of dollars,
will go up in smoke.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 26.-Old,
bent and shriveled, totering beneath
the weight of hundred years, Kotash
the oldest woman Of the Hupa Indian
tribe, shuffles about from place to
place in northern California, selling
baskets and beads to exc sustenance
from the land her forefathers gave
to the white race.
Kotash has lived an eventful life.
Murder, massacre, pestilence and pow
erty have stalked in her wake. She mar
owly escaped death in the massacre
If '49, when the white people nearly
annihilated her tribe Then her hus-
band was killed in an Indian feud and
she was left alone with her papoose.
Later "squaw man" bought her
She learned to love this white man
dearly. And she so fascinated him
that he wholly forgot his own people
and became Indian through and
through, entering their ceremonial
dances, sweat-houses, and receiving
the attentions of their medicine men
to cure all his ills.
The squaw sang and chanted to him
constantly, praying aloud that he
would renounce his former life and al
ways live an Indian. But one day a
mysterious poisoned arrow came into
the lodge of Kotash and killed her
husband.
