to the right, he discovered a suitcase
and box. A little farther on he dis
covered a shirt hanging on a guaya
bush, still wet. ........:. ~. y
Sergeant Gulley then returned to
the camp and accompanied by Cor
poral Ludwig Christianson returned
once more to the scene.
About this time Sgt Gulley ran
upon the suspect suddenly while Tay-
lor was In the act Of working on
some burlap sacks, thus not seeing the
other man. According to the meager
details which have reached Honolulu
from Schofield, Il Is said that Taylor
ran away as soon as he saw tne men.
It has been reported that Taylor hid
behind some bushes our Of sight, and
another man was seen on the hill
waving back and forth to Taylor, aI-
parently using some code of signals.
Suspecting that Taylor was q spy,
Sgt. Gulley returned to camp and re-
ported to the guard. Returning with
the guard, they finally discovered
Taylor behind some bushes in the
gulch. Another man was on the crest
of the hill. The guard called to halt.
Taylor then began to run up the hill.
The call to halt was given four or
five times, and then three shots were
fired over his head. He continued to
run, and one Of the guard fired at his
feet. Fearing that the suspect would
reach the hill and disappear, one Of
the guard then fired and hit Taylor
in the arm. The next shot pierced his
neck. Taylor then stopped and the
guard ceased fire. Then he made a
vain effort to reach the top Of the
hin, which was only a few feet away.
The next shot reached its mark, and
Taylor fell In a heap only few feet
away from the boundary line Of the
reservation. j '
The guard hurried to the scene and
found the suspect in q critical condi-
ton. His Life was ebbing fast away.
Sgt. Gulley gave the man glass Of
water. and asked his name. Taylor
did not reply, falling back PROSTATE.
Taylor was dead before he reached
the hospital.
Upon returning to camp 1t was re-
ported that two men of the regiment
had been seen communicating with
Taylor. These men were reported to
have held consultations with the sts-
pect on a number OF. occasions, and
the two enlisted men, both said to be
of German origin, we're apprehended.
The officers and enlisted men OF
the 32nd Infantry are especially graft
fled, 1t is reported, that the plot to
obtain information was frustrated.
Col L. L. Durfee, who recently took
command of the regiment, is said to
be a man Of very few words, BIZ:
those who are intimate with him know
him to be a man of action. The 32nd
Infantry, which is often referred to
as "Hawaii's' Own Regiment" is being
complimented on the quick action
taken. - =

TEXAS PAPER COMPLIMENTS
MAI. ALLEN. KENTUCKIAN.

Major Henry Tureman Allen, a
native of Sharpsburg, KY, Command
ing the Ninetieth Division of the u.
5. Army, at Camp Travis, Texas, is
the subject of most complimentary
sketch which appeared in the San
Antonio Express, on November 10.
The writeup of Major Allen in
cludes an excellent likeness of this
popular army officers, who has rem
dered such excellent service to his
country, together with a three
column notice highly complimentary
to Maj. Allen.
In referring to Maj. Allen the
writer in the Express refers to him
in part as follows:
Fairness and efficiency character
lstic of Maj. Allen put at head of
Ninetieth Division because he is
leader of men and knwos the game
of war. The people of Texas and
Oklahoma have an interest in Gen.
Allen that beggars description. To
him they have confded the keeping
of their husbands, sons, brothers and
loved ones, and upon his shoulders
rents the responsibility of the flu
ture welfare of these soldiers, 10000
red-blooded men who are ready to
answer any summons and are pre-
pared to go wherever duty calls them
as it's people. And it should be a
matter to inspire confidence in the
hearts of the stay-at-homes that Gen.
Allen was selected to lead the Goth
Division-nOt because of any acct
dent of birth, nor yet because of any
political utilization, but because he
has been tried time and again in
military matters, and each time has
been found not wanting.
Major Allen can qualify as man
with heart stored with love. He
has perhaps the largest family of any
man in Texas, for he has 10000 chill
dren at Camp Travis and each and
every one of them has been the re-
cipient of his square dealings. While
eXacting that obedience, that must
be secured to win battles, Gen. Allen
has for his enlisted men of his divi-
sion feeling of affection that crops
out IN thousand ways. He wants
"his boys" to find soldering a pleas
ure and not an irksome task, and to
this end he never tires of having ar
ranged for them those moments of
recreation that have become dear
to the soldiers at Camp Travis"
Major Allen is related to a large
number of Bourbon families Of prom
inence, and has on numerous occa-
sions visited in Bourbon County
where he is we'll known.
Major Allen is a first cousin of
Mr.. w. B. Allen, of Paris, and an
uncle of Mr.. Sanford Allen, Mrs.
Owen Ingels and Mrs. Louis Rogers,
of Bourbon, and of Mrs. Jesse Aver
son, of Georgetown, children of the
late Mr.. Julian G.. Allen, who was
brother Of Major Allen.

RED CROSS SEAL STAMPS.

The biggest drive in the history of
the Red Cross Christmas Seal move
ment is being made this year. AL
ready 44O,OOO,000 of the little
Christmas stickers have been print
ed and distributed throughout the
United States.
Agents In every State and terri
tory in the Union from Alaska to
the Canal Zone and from Porto Rico
and Hawaii and even in the far off
philippines have been making de-
mands for the stamps. Through
these agents the Seals will be dis
tr1buted to the local and State anti
tuberculosis associations and to 9TH
er agencies through which they will
be put on SALE
Every effort is being made to slim
ulate the sale of the Seals this year
so the 100000 fund which is the
objective will be realized. The coun-
try's entry into the war and the
consequent revelation of the preva-
lcnce of tuberculosis and the danger
in which the disease has placed our
army has added incentive to the cam
paign.
cFOIy HAL, WOuldu anu Cn1lQ Is
being asked to triple the amount of
their Red Cross Seal purchases this
year. If they bought hundred
Seals last year, they are being ask
ed to buy three hundred this year,
as the annual fund to be raised must
be increased from the 1916 of ST.
900 to s3,0O0,000.
Advertising circulars, post cards
and letters are being sent out to aid
in the sale of Seals. Upwards of
1000. 900 personal letters have been
written, and an army of fully $780,
600 workers, most of them volun-
teers, are busy booming the cam
paign.
Few people who buy the little mes
sages of Christmas cheer realize
that more than 800 anti-tubercu-
losis associations of the country de-
rive their chief support from Red
Cross Christmas Seals.
