Spanish Cruelty Leaves Hatred That Renders
 French Dangerous

Here is the Darien region of eastern Panama, where the Marsn-D -Darien expe- dition has found white Indians with blue eyes and body covered with golden hair. The expedition will bring to New York the king of the Darien and two blonde Indians-a boy of 19 and a girl of 21.
 The expedition entered on the Pacific side, through the Darien hurbor, as shown on the map, and passed up the Tuyra river, sometimes known as the Rio Darien, to Yavisa. the base of sup plies, and thence up the Chucuaque, to the country of the white Indians. Prof. John Leonard Baer. acting curator of the Smithsonian institute. died May 30 of Chagres fever, and Paul Brin, botan- ist assigned to the expedition by the Panamanian government, also lost his life from disease.
 Many white men have been killed by Indians or died of disease since the cruel Spanish, occupation of the Sixteenth century, when the Indians swore eternal enmity to the whites. Scientists throughout the world are awaiting with intense interest the scientific findings of the expeditions, as the discovery of the white Indians is regarded as one of the most important archaeological de velopments of recent times.

FRISCO CHEFS SEE PROSPERITY IN BIRMINGHAM No Announcement Made
 Of Objects Of | Visit

Officials of the Frisco railway were as one in paying tribute to the pros porous signs in Birmingham and pre- dieting it's bright future upon the com. pletion of their whirlwind inspection tour here Saturday. The morning was spent by the group in a survey of the Frisco's new yards at East Thomas and conferences with the various in -dustrial leaders and the afternoon in golf at Roebuck.
 "All of it was highly successful, and I enjoyed myself great deal" said J. M. Kurn, president of the road, Satur- day evening.
 Despite the admitted statement that the party was here on matter of some import" no announcement of plans were forthcoming Saturday night. There is nothing new" Mir. Kurn declared, lat least we have nothing to say yet. Later, perhaps, but not now"
 The road head, however, during a brief talk spiked the report that the road would take up all it's tracks along ninth avenue and bring it's traffic in over the Louisville and Nashville to buildings which would be constructed on the roads property at Sixteenth street.
 Move Impossible
 Tt would be impossible to do that because of the industries which have built up along the right of way. We do expect, however, to eliminate all tracks but those absolutely necessary, the work to begin in about two weeks" President Kurn intimated that the railroad might find other uses for its discarded buildings located along the tracks although he said plans were not now in shape.
 Although the road officials Saturday again preferred to ignore the report that they are angling for an outlet to the coast, the Age-Herald learned from authoritative sources that such a move is being formulated. One of the lar sest considered, it is said, is the taking over of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, proposal which was greet ed by enthusiastic approval here Sat ufday.
 Freight of the Frisco for the coast is now handled over the Central of Georgia and although this arrangement is understood to have worked out to . fair degree of satisfaction, the road nevertheless would choose to control its own outlet. zss
 This plan, it is stated. is yet lin the air" and it may be considerable ,lengtk of time before it is worked out. It will however, eventually mean that Birming ham will be established as the south eastern headquarters for the road and become one of the greatest traffic cen ters of the country.
 Mir. Kurn and his party. consisting of J. K. Koontz, vice-president J. H. Fraser, general manager; and J. N. Cornatzar, passenger traffic manager i; left Birmingham at ii 80 o'clock Sat urday night.

OLD HEADS SEE
 BUTLER FAILURE
Think He Has Already
 Made Every Mistake Possible

WASHINGTON, June s21.-It will be interestin gto watch the fate of Coolidge and Dawes in the hands of National Chairman Butler. About ev- cry republican campaign captain ot experience has been sent to tn rar. The new chief shows no disposition toward lieutenants, anyhow. Electing Coolidge, in his opinion, is a One-man job. Entertaining no political ambition on his own account, he is not. con- cerned with future reprisals. He dumped the senators who have run re- publican politics for a lifetime with as little compunction as he gets rid of un- sympathetic clerks when recognizing a cotton mill or a stret railway.
 When Slemp and others went to him with the argument that he should be content with cutting Lodges comb and that he should leave him few of his il7feathers lest he create sympathy for the hoary symbol which all Massa- chusetts has worshipped, he expressed the view tha tthe more the senior sena- tor was mutilated the better for the party. His attitude toward Watson and Curtis was no different. The best minds of the previous administration are all in the discard. Harding when he became President made no move without consulting these; when he ap- pointed Hoover and Hughes to hte cab inet he apolozied to them, Lodge had never paid any attention to Harding in the Senate, but Harding named him first among those chosen, to represent us in the arms conference; Lodge did not change his attitude of aloofness and superiority to the White House, and the late President never changed his mood of deference.
 It was different when Lodge snubbed Coolidge; the present President has shown, ae least, that he has healthy disposition t0 get even.
 Lodge cannot hart him, but it is a question if the absence of all the veter- ans from the council table during the coming campaign may not. Slemp is said to have told the President, when he returned from Cleveland nursing the memory of the sights he had received, that Butler made every mistake that could have been made during the con ventiOn. The whole crew of marooned senators are saying that if Butler man. ages the campaign as he did the con vention nothing can save Coolidge in which comment there is perhaps as much of hope as philosophy It must be admitted that had any of these old birds been called in, instead of being left to confer with each other while Butler occupied his aerie alone, the blunder would not have been made of first announcing that Borah would take the vice presidential nomination after he had said he would not, or that Low den should have been voted the nomina- tion in the face of his declaration that he would not accept it. The fellows that knew them would never have picked the two stubbornest men in pol itics on whom to try such an experi- ment.
 Butler knows his business" ex- claimed one admiring novice when out of the vice presidential chaos the con- vention finally produced Dawes.
 By the way" came the answer from a group that included Watson, Curtis and Slemp, what is Mir. Buffers busi- l ness?"
