speak briefly of her terrible experience.
The accident in which DR.. Stone lost
his life occurred on Saturday, July l6,
she said, and not Sunday, as was at
first believed. Mrs. Stone said that on
Saturday morning they set out to climb
Mount canon, without being fastened
together by rope. In the afternoon
they had nearly reached the summit,
and were negotiating a particularly
stiff bit of almost perpendicular cliff.
Mr.. Stone was slightly in advance.
Disappeared in Abyss.
Mrs. Stone said she suddenly looked
up and saw her husband slip Then he
fell past her, and she saw him strike
the face of the cliff, his body turning
over and over until he disappeared in
the abyss below.
Although Mrs. Stone held faint hope
Of saving her husbands life, and
realized the grave dangers that con-
fronted her in the task that lay ahead,
she endeavored to go to his rescue.
Fastening rope to the edge of ledge
she climbed rapidly down until she
reached the end of the rope. There
was no foothold and no handhold and
she found herself dangling against the
steep mountainsidc.
For some time .he hung there, try
ing vainly to draw herself back up
again. Finally, exhausted, she loosed
her hold, expecting to dash to her
death. Instead, she landed on the
four-foot ledge, the only one in sight,
about ten feet below There sho re-
manned for eight days.
During that time clouds often sur
rounded the moutain tops and fire.
quently rain and wind storms, accom-
panied by lightning and thunder,
broke about her. Long before help ar
rived she had about despaired Of ever
being rescued. But her remarkable
stamina carried her through.

Civilization of
America Dying
Via Mince Pie
GGstrOnOntic Nightmares We
ReUeL in Mean Our End,
Says Scientist.

NEW YORK, March 30.-American
civilization will be destroyed by mince
pie and corned beef and cabbage.
In making this statement today, Andre
Tridon, noted French psycho-analyst,
pointed out that the overthrow Of Amer
lea would be a part Of the general down
fall of the white race.
1T always has been and always will
be, the history OF mankind that domi-
nant race becomes super civilized and
gives way to another which lives only
for its stomach and reproduction" Tri-
don said. THE virility of a race Is meas
ured by Its purely physical attributes.
To even approximate the time when the
white man will lose his dominance is the
widest guess work, but 1t is bound to
come"
Americans are the worst eaters in the
world" he said "Your atrocious corned
beef and cabbage and your horrible
mlnce pie are but examples of your un-
speakable menu. Why, even the Mexl-
can Indian can take a piece Of goat meat
and few chill peppers and conccct a
dish that would shame your best home
cooking.
when the stomach fails the race be-
gins to die out. The true American has
already begun to disappear. Your New
England stock is nearly just a memory.
1t is being replaced by the more sturdy
European strains of stronger stomachs
and better constitutions. You are too
much addicted to your corned beef and
minee pie and kindred gastronomic
Nightmares to give them up. They will
be your downfall"

UP TO GOVERNOR
Executive Stands Between
Him and $4,000.

Jesse e. Eschbach. chief examiner Of
the State board of accounts, may receive
the $4,000 appropriated to him for his
services as head of the special coal and
food commission If Governor Warren t.
McCray approves, U. S. Lesh, attorney
general, held today. The attorney gen
eral held tht there is no legal barrier
to Mr.. Eschbach receiving the appropria-
ton on the ground that he was benefting
from two remunerative positions at the
same time.
The provision that the Governor must
approve the payment of the money is con-
tanned in queer turn of the appropria-
tion bill, which provides thata claim of
the Ft. Wayne Printing Company and
''all following appropriations" must be
approved by the Governor. The Esch-
bach appropriation is included among a
number of regular department appropria-
tons under the same provision
The coal commission Will wind up its
affairs tomorrow at a final meeting. No
Statement has been made as to the
amount Of surplus money it may turn
into the treasury, but the sum is esti-
mated to be in the neighborhood Of

Discusses Funds and Naming
of New Director.

A meeting OF the vocational committee
o fthe State board Of education was held
this afternoon to discuss what is to be
done about curtaillng vocational work
because of lack of funds and to con-
slider the appointment of director OF
vocational rehabilitation.
fourth opinion on the subject of cur
tailment of vocational work issued by
[. s. Lesh, attorney general, holds that
the board of education can not, in order
to reduce expenditures, fix a maximum
school term lat shorter term than will,
in its judgment, tend to efficiency" In
dicatiOns We're that the shortening of
terms within the bounds of efficiency
would be one of the methods used in cur
failing vocational expenses.
The director of vocational rehabilita-
tion will have charge of the re-education
of persons injured in industries. The
committee did not expect t oappoint a di-
rector at the meeting, but expect to ap-
point a director at tn emeeting, but
merely to discuss possible appOintees.

BELIEVED DEAD
Navy Officials Have No Hope
if Men Descended in
Florida Swamp.

PENSACOLA, Fla, March 30.-If. as
is now believed, the five naval balloon
lists who have been missing from the air
station here since Tuesday of last week,
descended in a swamp, naval officials
here today reluctantly admitted the fur
ther belief that they are dead
1t developed that the report from
Apalachicola that cries were heard COM
ing from a swamp near the Jackson
river, was given out by fishermen who
had passed the swamp last Thursday
They believed it TO be a party of hunters
signalling for a ride back to civilian
tion and did not halt their boat, which
entered Apalachicola bay for bait. They
did not know of the missing balloon.
1t is the conviction of naval officers
here that these cries came from the un-
fortunate balloonists. Accordingly, sea-
planes and dirigibles have been dis
patched to search the swamps in that sec
tion in the hope that the bodies of the
men will be found. Telegraphic requests
for any information were again sent to
all towns along the coast of Florida.
The big dirigible CT again set out on
a search this morning. 1t is equipped

He Escaped, Police
Declare; No, Freed,
Prisoner Insists.

Police say Barton whiteford, A. 700
Maxwell street. escaped from the Indiana
State farm Aug. 10. 1915 whiteford says
he did not escape. but was released. If
what Whiteford says is true then another
chapter in the wholesale releasing of
prisoners by former Governor James
Goodrich has become public.
Whiteford was arrested on a vagrancy
charge, but today was reslated and
charged with being a fugitive. The po-
lice say be will be taken to Danville on
a warrant charging him with stealing
chickens at Plainfield. If the authori-
ties at Danville fail to convict him, it
is understood they plan to take White
ford back to the Indiana State farm.
Police records here show that Whiteford
escaped from the farm.
When questioned Whiteford said:
II was sent to the penal farm for
stealing chickens. l did not escape.
was released by ordees of Captain How
ahd,. and was one of thirteen prisoners
whose time had not expired who were
released at the same time. Wild Bill.
one Of the guards, took thirteen Of us to
the railroad and turned us over to the
Gentry show people. They took us to
Chicago, and were were ou our way 20
Burman, Iowa to work as canvas men for
the show. Another fellow and 1 missed
the train at Chicago. We got drink and
were arrested. The other fellow proved
to be a deserter from the Army and the
Government nabbed him. I vas charged
with vagrancy and they let me loose when
I promised to work for Higley Bros, in
Chicago. 1 worked for them two months,
then came to INDIANAPOLIS and registered
for military service. 1 never escaped
from the penal farm. When 1 left they
gave me my money and clothing, just as
they did the other twelve men sent to the
show before their time was up"
The records of the city clerks office
show that Whiteford was convicted in
city court of petit larceny Feb. IA, 1915,
and was sentenced to serve $50 days on
the Indiana State Farm and fined $500
with costs, The fine was never paid and
this means that he had 800 days to serve
on the farm from the time he was sent
there in February.
