 MT. Davis'~ietter to the governor Is as follows:
 Fort Apache Agency,
 Whiteriver, Arizona.
 May 8, 1922. Honorable Thomas E. Campbell, State House,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Mir. Dear Governor:
 ''It may be of interest to you to know that the troops marched out of Fort Apache this morning. A small guard detachment is left, and force to close up the buildings, care for the public property, etc. What disposition the war department will finally make of the plant we do not know. ;. "The Apache Indians and myself each took note of the action of the state legislature regarding the with drawal of troops from the old post. The thing that has concerned the h. dians most is the attitude in which they have been placed before the pub lie in connection with the abandon ment of the post. However, they have | thought pest 70 iSHoTe lHc moeVcA though at one time they considered sending a protest to Washington to place themselves in better light be- fore the government. ''It may be of interest to you to know that last Sunday the new mis- sion church (Lutheran), the first to be erected at this place, was dedicat- ed. About 100 Indians were baptiz- ed. Among this number was Alche- say, the old chief of the Apaches. It will be hard for the public to visualize the Apaches as Christian worshipers, but little patience will doubtless bring assurance that the recent fears on the part of the white people has been largely their own doings. What the Apaches are most anxious about now is labor market that will give them opportunity to earn support for themselves and families. The aban- donment of Fort Apache falls harder on them than any one else.
 "Very truly yours,
 "CHAS. w. DAVIS"

| day and a night for meditation, he
| had known better than to commit such
an outrage upon the possessor of
ghostly powers. and had resorted to
prayer instead. This had answered
quite as well, for the phantom pig had
dissolved like the morning mists-
While the sun blazed, what with his
devotions and his rabbits foot and
cross of twigs nailed to a tree,
Cookie felt a fair degree Of security.
But his teeth chartered In his head
at the thought of approaching night.
Meanwhile he could not In conscience
permit me to venture forth into the
path of this horror, which might, for
all we knew, be lurking In the jun
gle shadows, even through the day
light hours. Also, though he did not
avow this motive, I believe he found
my company very reassuring. 1t Is
immensely easier to face a ghost In
the sustaining presence of other flesh
ana blood.
For a moment I wavered In my de-
termination. What If the island had
its wild creatures after all? But
neither lynx nor panther nor any 9TH
er beast Of prey is white, except
polar bear, and it would be unusual to
meet one on a tropical island.
l decided that Cookies pig was af-
ter all a pig, though still in the flesh.
l thought 1 remembered having seen
quite fair pigs, which would pass for
white with a frightened negro in the
dim light Of dawn. l consoled Cookie
as best could by promising to cross
my fingers if l heard or saw anything
suspicious, and struck out into the
woods.
For all my brave words to Cookie,
I had no intention of going very far
afied. From the shore of the cove
had observed that the ground be-
hind the clearing rose to the summit
Of low ridge, perhaps four hundred
feet in height, which jutted from the
base of the peak. From this ridge
thought l might see something more
ronment of Lantern bay.
AS the woods shut out the last
glimpse of the white tents In the
clearing, as even the familiar sound
Of the surf died down to faint, half
imagined whisper mingling with the
rustling OF the palms overhead, l ex-
perienced a certain discomfort, which
persons given TO hard and unqualified
terms might have called fear. 1t
seemed to me as If very strong cord
at the rear of my belt were jerking me
back toward the ingloriOus safety OF
the camp. / fingered my automatic
and marched on up the hill, trying
not to gasp when a leaf rustled or
coconut dropped In the woods.
l gained the summit of the ridge,
and stood upon a bare rock platform,
scantily sheltered by few trees,
large shrubs. rather, with a smooth,
waxy leaf of vivid green. On the
left rose the great mass of the peak.

WHISKEY
Theft WITH F0ILED
RAID IN NOVEMBER
CBy Associated Pressl

PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 5.-Officials in
vestigating the theft of 60 barrels of
whisky from the Liberty Yeast cor
poration at Pekin, ILL.,, by 25 armed
bandits today, connected the raid with
an unsuccessful one on the American
DistiIlery here Nov. 81 last 1t was
said several of the Pekin robbers were
identified as participants in the futile
attempt here.
The Yeast corporation formerly was
the Globe distillery and the liquor had
been stored there since before the
Volstead act went into effect.
The raid was made just as the night
shift of employees went on duty. None
of the robbers was masked. They
were heavily armed and moved with
military precision. Some surrounded
the plant while others entered and
compelled the workers to put up their
hands.
Twelve barrels of whisky were
loaded on each of five trucks which
were driven rapidly away over the
hard roads toward Springfield. Trace
of them Immediately was lost.
1t was reported one truck broke
down five miles out of Pekin but a
sheriff and posse in pursuit were un-
able to find it.

DIRECT PRESIDENTIAL
BALLOT AMENDMENT
FAVORABLY REPORTED
(Rv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-Members
of the Progressive bloc in congress
won their first legislative victory to-
day by obtaining from the senate ag-
riculture committee a favorable re-
port on resolution to amend the con-
stitution to provide for direct election
of the president and vice-president.
The Ashurst resolution, on which
the judiciary subcommittee held a
hearing. provides that presidents are
TO be inaugurated in January after
their election and that the new con-
gress every two years is to convene
the same month, the present final De-
cember session of congress to be abol-
ished. Senator Ashurst seemed to
urge adoption of the proposed amend
ment, as did William Lowe Putnam.
Boston attorney, on behalf of the
American Bar association, which has
endorsed the plan.
Slow transportation and other rea-
sons for the present constitutional
plan no longer exist, Senator Ashurst
and Mr. Putnam said. They also
argued that there would be better
response to public opinion by having
newly elected congress meet soon
er. One objection to the plan which
Senator Ashurst said was not well
founded was whether conditions in
winter would prevent out of door in
augural ceremonies.
