president of the maintenance Of

work, conferences looking toward
a peaceful settlement of the shop

Announcement by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad that mutually sat-
isfactory wage agreement had been
reached with its shopmen was con-
sidered by some railroad and union
leaders to have had a clarifying
effect on the entire situation, in
asmuch as the Pennsylvania has
insisted on dealing directly with
it's own men.

Mr.. Cradle issued a statement
tonight asserting that "the path to
an early adjustment is open" so far
as the 100000 members of his or

25o-YEAR-0LD APPLE trees IN
MANzAN0 MOUNTAINS PRODUCE A
Fine FRUIT CROP each SEASON
Manzano Town and Mountains Named From
the Historic Trees Planted Centuries Ago
By Franciscan Friars; Forest Service Ex-
perts Verify Truth of Orchard Legend.

That apple trees live and pro-
duco fruit in New Mexicos balmy
air and rich soil for period of at
least $50 years was proved yester-
day by silviculture experts of the
district forest service who carefully
examined specimen trunk of one
of the dead apple trees of the Man
zano forest In the Manzano noun
tains just east of Albuquerque and
verified the legend that they had
been planted centuries ago.
The Manzano mountains and the
town of Manzano were named from
the old apple orchard which was
planted some time before 1876 by
the Franciscan friars who founded
mission in that vicinity. Man
zano Is the Spanish for apple tree:

whole pueblos being abandoned
and other pueblos being founded.
Exact data as to the time of the
arrival of the Franciscan friars in
this particular section of the Man
zano mountains is not apparently
available but authorities have al
ways credited it as being about
1929. History has recorded the
fact that they brought with them
few apple seeds and that 1t was
from these seeds that the Manzano
orchards were grown. Experts
have doubted the ability Of an APP
pie tree to live through such a
period of time and to continue pro-
ducing fruit through centuries.

Z SLAYERs WHO
GAINED FREEDOM
ARE RECAP P7URED
Manuel Martinez and PIac-
lido SiIvas, Who Escaped
Last Thursday, Are Land
ed in Jail at NogaleS.

Nogales, Ariz., July 1S.-Manuel
Martinez and Placido Silvas, con-
victed murderers who escaped last
Thursday night, were recaptured
shortly before noon today by a
posse headed by Sheriff Harry Sax
on, about two and one-half miles
southeast of Amado, which is Thirty
jmiles north of Nogales.
The slayers, exhausted and hardly
able to move, were discovered lying
among rocks.
Martinez is under sentence of
death and Silvas is facing a term
of life Imprisonment for the killing
Iof Postmaster and Mrs. j. Frank
Pearson, of Ruby, Ariz., last Aug
ust. The two escaped late Thurs
lday night when Sheriff George
White, of Santa Cruz county, who
was taking them to the state peni-
ltentiary, was killed in an automo-
bile accident near Tucson. Deputy
Sheriff Leonard Smith, also was
fatally hurt, dying last night from
the injuries he suffered in the ac-
cident.
Less than half an hour after
news Of the capture was received in
Nogales more than 500 persons had
gathered about the county Jail to
await the arrival of the slayers
Martinez and Silvas were not
lhandcuffed together when founo
today hiding among rocks. They
were too weak to offer resistance.
Silvas appeared to have lost about
forty pounds in little more than
four days. Martinez had to be as
sisted to his feet.
Martinez and Silvas, apparently,
escaped uuhurt in the automobile
wreck which occurred near CONT
mental, eighteen miles from Tucson.
Two theories were advanced in con-
lnection with the accident. One was
that the prisoners had hit the sher'
iff and his aid, who were seated IN
front on the head, causing the
driver, White, to lose control of the
automobile and then leaped 10
safety before the car overturned.
The other theory was that White,
while driving at a fast rate OIL
speed, left the road and when the
car rolled over, the bandits were
thrown clear of the wreck.
The point where the outlaws were
found today is at the edge or the
foothills of the Santa Rita noun
tains. =.
Martinez and Silvas were brought
to the county Jail here shortly after
l1:30 D. m. There was no demon
stration.
The prisoners declared the auto
mobile accident which gave them
their liberty was the result OF reck-
less driving by the sheriff. Silvas
said his head was hurt in the ac-
cident. ,
Neither of the pair had anything
to eat for four days. They traVeied
Il by night, they said, and hid during
1.-The daylight hours. Amado Is
twenty miles from the international
lime.
