;QuepedeauX voluntarily appeared
in court as soon as he learned of
his indictment and furnished bond
OF $4,000 on two counts charging
false entries. A count of embezzle-
ment, and another of receiving de-
posits when he knew the bank was
insolvent, were also returned
against him. l1a1i
Inquiry Opened Wednesday
The indictments were returned by
the grand jury following an inves-
tigation started last Wednesday, in
which a score of witnesses, most
ly from Winslow were heard.
Among the witnesses were IA. T.
Hammons, state uperintendentof
banks, S. B. Smith, special deputy,
who had been in close touch with
the affairs of the receivership, J.
r. Davis, Of the banking depPFt-
ment, and others.
Although the indictments !. are
secret and the names will not be
made public until those named
have been returned in court, ru-
mors flew thick and fast in Wins
low last night when it became
known that the grand jury had
made its report
Over long distance from Hol-
brook to the Daily Mail, Judge
Crosby said that he would merely
say that some other indictments -
had sbeen returned. 1t was indi-
Gated from other sources, however,
that virtually every officer of the
bank would be included although
Sheriff Divelbess over long dis
lance said that so far only one
warrant had been placed in his
hands for service.
Specify S42 Deposit
The charge Of receiving depos
its when he knew the bank to be
insolvent was based on a deposit
OF $42 made the day the bank clio
ed by F. L. Riley, of Winslow.
Speculation was rife in Holbrook
and Winslow last night as to
whom the indictments would in
volye but it will probably be Mon
day before the names of the others
will be made public.
j. S. Dodson, former chief ex-
aminer of the State Banking De
partment, who had been receiver of
the bank from October 1924 to
November 1925 was not called to
testify before the grand jury,
though he had been summoned
from Phoenix and had been in
Holbrook during the time the
grand jury was in session. He ar
rived in Winslow last night.
Located at his hotel Mr.. bod
son would have but little to say
with reference to the indictments

CAPTAIN OF PORT OF MISSING MEN
IS WOMAN MOTHER ON ALL SEAS

NEW YORK, Dec. IS (AP)-The
Captain of the Port of Missing Men
is a woman-a woman without a
single son, but with men afloat on
seven seas who call her mother. !"
She is Mrs. Jane Lord Roper,
house mother at the Seamens
Church Institute, New York City
She has heard more versions of
Where is My Wandering Boy To-
night?' than any other person still
in active service.
Finding Men Her Job
And in the last, five years 5000
wanderers have piped up "Here!"
when she has called their names.
That's her job-finding missing
men. But it is not the limit of her
interests, as thousands Of sailors
| have attested whom she has helped
through illness, poverty, jobless-
ness and friendliness.
A tall, spare woman of New
England, with eyes wise with toll
erance, the house mother at the
establishment now boasting twelve
story quarters at the tip Of Man
haitian island, began her work of
being a friend to wanderers when
she was 16 years old. She distrib-
uted religious tracts in the Deep
water Sailor Rooming houses in
| Boston
when I saw men drinking and
gambling" she said, "some feeling
of consideration made me think
that the arrival of a woman, es-
pecially missionary, might be
embarrassing. So ] always her
aided my visits with an obvious
cough, and it was amusing to see
their sheepish faces as the men
scooped up the cards and hid
them.
Sailors Love for Fellows
"Times have changed now" she
added. "Now | don't suppose that
anyone feels even a missionary
can be shocked. This work teaches
tolerance, though. When I was 20
years old | could tell a man just
what his duty was. Now it ism
so easy. One can learn something
now and then from the boys them
selves, and the talk of some of my
radical and agnostic friends would
make your hair curl.
But there is one fundamental
that never has changed: Love for
ones fellowman is the same today
as it was 1000 years ago. These
sailors cling to that"
Love. indeed, is what makes the
Port OF Missing Men churned up
place. Somebody mother, faith
er, sister, brother or sweetheart
has lost track of a wandering boy.
And Mrs. Roper, with requests
from all over the world, gets her
lines out and drags him in.
''Next OF Kin" TO Many
For her services, but more US
ually for her friendship, many sail
ors have named her next of kin"
and one such son." dying in a
hospital, was colored boy.
Mrs. Roper, the widow of a
clergyman who Joined her in her
work among sailors, has been with
the local Church Institute since it
took over it's present quarters IL
years ago. Before then the Insti-
tute was a floating barge.
Trained to meet any emergency,
the house mother has encountered
odd sides Of her multitudinous
wards. Recently a seaman handed
her SIS with a request that a no.
tice be posted for one Pat Breen.
81 stuck a gun in mis- ribs

planned the seaman, "but don't
enjoy the kale. See that he gets
it back, will your

Texan Hostage
Typical Old Time
Drive Of Cattle

ALPINE, Texas. Dec Is (AP)-
A chaparejos adorned member Of
Congress, cowboy from head to
foot, soon is to duplicate a scene
common in Texas SO years ago.
Claude B. Hudspeth, of Ell Paso,
has bought 1500-acre ranch
among the mountains of southeast
Texas During December he ex-
poets to trail 1000 head of reg
istered cattle from his ranch near
Del Rio, Texas, on the Mexican
border, to the new ranch in Brew
ster county, a distance of ESQ
miles.
Congressman is Rider
The moving of these cattle over
land, across mountains and over
the unmarked plains of southeast
Texas, is looked upon. as a. feat
which only the old-time cattlemen
could accomplish.
Congressman Hudspeth, himself
a cowboy who came to this west
ern country with a printing press
strapped on his saddle horn, will
be one of the cowboys in charge
Of the herd
1t will be impossible to travel
the highways on account of auto
mobiles, and rail transportation is
out of the question, because the
ranch is remote from any rail
road. -
One Of the greatest obstacles will
be fording rivers The largest
stream they will have to cross is
the Pecos. Cowboys, cattle and
horses will have to swim this river
just as the covered wagon pioneers
did it.
First Since Seventies
Not since the seventies, when cat
tie were driven by the thousands
over well-marked trails to railroad
terminals in Kansas, and. to the
Pacific coast, has there been such
a scene in real life as the Texas
congressman is undertaking.
Much of the route will be
through mountain canyons where
the cowboys must camp for days,
far from civilization, while the
herd creeps forward a few miles a
day.
Hudspeth started in East Texas
as a printers devil. When Is, feel
ing the call Of the west he mounted
q pony and road to Ozona in west
Texas, where he started a news
paper III health led him to the
outdoor life of the ranches.

RARE DATA SAVED
Old Indian Guides In Tar West Found Who Know of Important Pre- Historic Sites

Washington, Feb , LPl-Rare data concerning the aborigines of the west coast is being "rescued from the brink of the grave" by J. P. Harrington, ethnologist of the Smithsonian Institution. now explor- ing ancient village sites in Cali fornia.
 Mir. Harrington. whose discovery nearly two years ago of the skull of the Santa Barbara Man" revived the question of the antiquity of man on the American continent, has found several Indian guides, all near or beyond the century mark in years, who possess authentic infor- nation of the old sites discovered. The scientist has reported to the in stitutiOn that there Is no one else that knows even 2 fraction of the data being supplied by his feeble guides and which he believes will prove an important chapter in the archaeological record of that sec ton.
 In places. he sa'd. the village sites apparently had not been dis turhed since Indian times, the old nut circles being found on the ground. These circles, formed of rocks or raised earth that marked the walls, "are as fresh as if the place had been abandoned ycster- day"

 Boston. Feb. Rl--New England today was still in tho grip of one of the worst snow storms in years,
 A wrecked lumber schooner. the kenwood of Boston, was pounding on the rocks off Cedar Point, Scitu- ate, but its crew had been saved in q daring rescue, while somewhere to the south. two Cape Cod light. ships were in distress. Five deaths had been reported directly due to the storm, while in Boston and the Metropolitnn- area the phenomenon of l3 inch fall of snow was char acterized by the most complete par Ialyss of traffic facilities in history. Commuters Storm Hotels In Boston thousands of commut- CTS stormed hotels and all manner of lodging houses when the principal railroads entering the city admitted they were unable to meet the situ- alton.
 A novel situation was created when the Boston and Maine railroad posted notices urging the milling throng in the north station to find other means Of transportation or prepare to pass the night in the city. A like condition prevailed at the south station. and at the Boston, Re- were Beach and Lynn railroad ter minal.
 Gov. Fuller ordered the auditor ium and corridors of the state house thrown open to accommodate those who could not find shelter elsewhere and hundreds availed themselves of even these quarters.

 At city hall and other municipal buildings scattering hundreds were bunked for the night.
 The situation on the lines of the Boston Elevated company was al-
 most as bad as on the steam rail- roads. Cars ran on many of the
 lines only at hour intervals and on other lines not at all. Downtown subway stations were crowded. Hun dreds who despaired of obtaining transportation, walked through the tunnel to their stations.
