Adelaide Martin, with whom he
sang a duet. At the junior high
he was accompanied by Miss Hor-
tense Miller, instructor of music in
the grades, and Miss Evelyn
Vaughn.

SNOW AND COLD
WINDS PREVAIL
in MOUNTAINS

King Winters icy breath blew
across the Rocky mountains west
yesterday, striking with greatest
fury in the northwest.
Snow overspread Montana and
Northern Wyoming, while heavy
rains were reported over a storm
area reaching as far south as New
Mexico and Arizona. Railroad traf-
fic was hindered in Wyoming and
Colorado, and one Denver & RiC
Grande locomotive plunged through
bridge, weakened by the down
pours, seriously injuring two train
men.
The storm at Helena, Montana
was accompanied by the twenty
ninth earth tremor felt there since
May 81. Each of the three snow
storms Helena has experienced so
far this fall has been accompanied
by slight earth movements.
Freezing temperatures were re-
ported in the northern belt of the
region, while the rainfall in New
Mexico and Arizona was accom-
panied by temperatures as high as
so degrees.
A crew of more than 1000 work
men was repairing landslides and
washouts that resulted from tor
rental downpours along the Den
yer & Rio Grande Western railroad
near Grand Junction, Colorado.
Railroad traffic on the Union Paci-
fic was delayed in Wyoming
Snow in Wyoming and Montana
averaged between one and five
inches.

KESTER RHODES
DIED WEDNESDAY
AT LOS ANGELES

Kester NJ. Rhodes, 38 years of
age, well-known Santa Fe conduc-
tor of the second division, died at
the railroad hospital in Los Ange-
les Wednesday morning. Mr..
Rhodes had been in i'll health for
nearly two years, in March of last
year being afflicted with an attack
of typhoid pneumonia from which
he never fully recovered. The i'm
mediate cause of death was kidney
trouble, brought on by his weaken
ed condition.
Mr.. Rhodes, with his wife and
son, moved to Winslow about four
years ago from San Bernardino,
California, where he had run on
the Los Angeles division. Follow
ing his first illness he was off duty
for several months, and this year
made an extensive trip through
Canada seeking renewed strength.
He returned to duty about the first
of September and was able to work
but short time, when he was sent
to the hospital on the coast. Mrs.
Rhoades left Sunday evening to be
with him, and was at his bedside
when death occurred. Burial oc-
Cured at Fullerton, California, this
morning.
Mr.. Rhodes was born in Fresno,
California, in 1887, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. l.. Rhodes. His faith
er was an old-time Santa Fe agent,
and for a number of years was
stationed at Flagstaff.

Marshal Guards Against
Disorders at Execution

Though lacking official confirma-
ton of reports that members of the
Walapai tribe, in the vicinity of
Kingman, had threatened venge-
ance against the white man if the
penalty of death is carried out
against their tribesman, George
Dixon Sujynamie, at Prescott to-
States marshal for Arizona, has
completed plans to safeguard
against possible disorders at the
scene of the hanging.
"The government will take any
and all steps necessary to quiet
any disorder likely to develop
among the Walapais," Marshal
Mauk said last evening.
First intimation that trouble was
threatened was had by Marshal
Mauk when he read an Associated
Press dispatch from Kingman.
Commenting upon the report the
government official said that he
would communicate with Sheriff
Mahoney at Kingman, transmitting
whatever information he receives
to- Washington.
Additional guards will be provid-
ed at the stockade if such steps are
considered necessary to the carry
ing out of the courts judgment in
the case of Sujynamie.
The Walapais, are a branch of
the old Apache tribe, though they
never have given officials any
trouble in this state. For the
greater part, they are a peace-lov-
ing tribe, content to live in their
own way.

Demand For Water
Is Almost Equal
To Present Flow

Winslow is using more water
right now than ever before, and
while the supply of water in Clear
Creek is more than sufficient for
all needs, means of bringing it to
the city are being taxed to capac-
ity.
Between 25 and 35 cars of water
are sent out daily by the Santa Fe
to Angel for engine purposes on
the mountain run. This demand
requires about 100000 gallons a
day. The shops and roundhouse
are using in the neighborhood of
100000 gallons a day, owing to
the unprecedented freight traffic
during the fruit shipping season.
About 100000 gallons are requir-
ed to fill the holder of the gas plant
now being constructed, and water
was turned into the holder We'd
nesday morning City Engineer
Lendecke estimates that it will re-
quire more than a week to fill the
tank The present mains of the
water company permit a maximum
of 65 900 gallons of water per hour
being brought from Clear Greek.

PRESIDENT DENIES
PLEA TO COMMUTE
HANGING OF INDIAN

President Coolidge has denied the
application for the communication of
the death sentence of George Dixon
Sujynamie, Walapai Indian sentenc-
ed to be hanged tomorrow at Pres
cott United States Marshal George
Mauk has been instructed to pro-
ceed with the execution. Sujynamie
was convicted of numbering Arthur
NJ Cavell, Prescott taxi driver.
To prevent any man from carry
ing with him through life definite
knowledge that he has killed an
other man, despite the fact that the
killing is to be legal and legally
justified, United States Marshal
Mauk has evolved a unique scheme
for the execution.
Sujynamie is to be hanged, cleo
trically. Following refusal by Ari
zona state authorities of permission
for the federal government to use
the scaffold in the state penitenti-
ary at Florence, a special scaffold
has been constructed on the spot
where Cavell was killed. The place
is surrounded by a stockade, and
about 20 feet from the scaffold is
a small room.
The scaffold trap will be sprung
by means of electrical magnetic
force, controlled by wire connec-
tions leading to the room 20 feet
away. Three separate sets of wires
will lead from the trap to the room,
and each set will have a button
switch, all Identical During the
installation of the wires, the cleo
trician has twisted them and re-
twisted them so that not even he
knows which one will actually COM
plete the connection which spells
death.
Sometime between the hours of
10 a. m. and 8 p. m. the time set
for the death, the rope will be af-
fixed to Sujynamie's neck, three
men placed in the room and the
signal given. All three buttons
will be pressed simultaneously, and
the executioner will never be
known.
This method has counterpart in
military executions, in which a fir
ing squad of four or more men all
are ordered to shoot at man but
in which only one rifle is loaded
with real bullet The members
of the squad never know which fir
ed the death bullet and which fired
the blanks.
Marshal Mauk will be personally
in charge of the execution. He
says the names of the three men
selected to press the buttons will
not be revealed. He expects the
signal of death to be given at about
the hour of noon

Pilot Takes First
Photo Of Mirage

The following story, captioned as
above, released by the Universal
News Service, appeared in the Los
Angeles Examiner Wednesday:
Lieutenant John A. Macready,
crack pilot of the United States
Air Service, and Captain A w.
Stevens, premier cameraman, today
completed a 20,000-mile aearial
jaunt when they landed at McCook

mail and proposed dam sites on the
Colorado river.
stevens made a picture of a
mirage, the first one in history, it
is said What results he obtained
however, will not be disclosed until
the film is developed.
"The pictures were made at the
instance Of the Interior Depart
ment and will be used in making
an aearial map of the national
parks.
"In the bed of dry lake near
Winslow, Arizona, they saw what
is said to have been a mighty me-
teor. They describe it as being as
large as a city block, which, when
it struck, dented the earth for a
distance of half a mile.
"The meteor is very hard in char
acter and private capital has be-
gun operations, using diamond
drills, to obtain its nickel content.
Iron and platinum also, has been
found in the meteor. The matrial
is excessive in weight and has a
market value of $240 a pound"

Development Of
Aviation
By
LIEUT.. CHAS. J. McQUILLAN
G. S. Res. U. S. Army

A warning that towns along the
transcontinental overland route
cannot hope to become the center
of aviation activities, until adequate
landing fields have been provided,
was the text of circular sent out
by leading aircraft manufacturers
and aeronautical societies just re-
Gently.
1t is claimed that only a small
number of citizens realize the i'm
portance of the value of aviation
for commercial purposes and of
those, the majority are citizens who
are imbued with civic spirit enough
to place the possibilities of aircraft
far above the automobile.
In these days of new discoveries,
one would be foolish to venture
statement that any of the modern
sciences would be a failure. The
telegraph and radio have taught
us that he who laughs last is the
fellow that makes the money.
We are in the midst of new era
of sciences and could we but see
twenty five years ahead we might
be as skeptical as our forefathers
who thought a railroad train travel
ing at the rate of thirty miles an
hour would create a death dealing
vacuum.
There is a special word about
aviation that l would have every
one know and that is, that many
towns in the east are creating mu
nicipal landing fields for the bene-
fit of commercial and experimental
aviatorS, and these towns are the
ones that are going to get the traf-
fic when the time comes to flood
the market with airplanes that are
not beyond the pocketbook of the
ordinary citizen
Few residents of Winslow realize
just what a favorable and central
location we have here for an avia-
tion center. The possibilities are
wonderful. We have often been
told by officers high in aviation ac-
tivities that we have the climate,
the central location and point of
easy accessibility to many places
of interest that can be reached in
less than an hours flying time.
Two weeks ago we had two noted
pictures for the department of the
interior and they said that Wins
low was logical point from which
to operate as our position was ex-
actly in the center of an area
bounded by the Grand Canyon,
Petrified forest, Painted Desert,
Cliff Dwellings, Meteor Mountain
and the Little Colorado Canyon,
which is claimed to be far superior
in grandeur to the Grand Canyon.
Our geographical position on the
map as far as aircraft traffic is
concerned is one that many towns
would be glad to have.
Take an ordinary map of the
United States, now place a yard
stick with a pin in the center
stick the pin on the spot mark
ed Winslow. Now to show you that
we are a strategical center, move
the west end of the yardstick to the
spot marked Los Angeles, you will
now find that the east end of the
rule points toward Kansas City
and st. Louis, and that Wins
low is also on that direct line.
Now move the west end of the
rule down to San Diego, and you
will see the east tip Of the stick
touch on line with Omaha and
other important cities. We will
now carry the west end of the rule
up to San Francisco and what do
we find? We see that we are on
direct line with the largest and
most important cities in Texas, and
the southern central states. Don't

Nights Are Too Light
For Successful Hunts

There have been fewer deer
brought to town this year than
during the first week of any previ-
Gus deer season in years. Even the
old-timers and experienced deer
hunters are coming back empty
handed. 1t is said that the bright
moonlight nights of the past week
have permitted the deer to feed
during most of the night and that
they sleep and hide out in the day
time. 1t is predicted that the lat
ter part of the month will be bet
ter for deer hunting than now.

MARYLAND BOYS
ARE EARLE
HIT

The Maryland boys who call
themselves the "Collegians" and
are at the Earle this week with
a ten-piece jazz band appear to
be striking things nicely. Re-
ports are unanimous in agreeing
that the boys" are coming
Whitemans.
Vaudeville is lucky to have this
gang, for they have pep, youth,
talent and the interests Of jazz
at heart. 1t is fortunate for the
Earle patrons that they are top
ping the current bill. And the
boys themselves are lucky In
landing, at the very beginning,
two such engagements as the
Maryland in Baltimore and the
Stanley-Keith house in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
They are booked for the rest
of the summer.
It is said--but doubtless g. lurid
press story--that they are the
youngest jazz performers in the
three-a-day. Despite that wild
yarn, they are delivering the
goods; vaudeville is lucky to
have them: and the act is going
over In great fashion.
