.YAQU| INDIANS
IN LAST STAND
BY r. L. ARMSTRONG, JR.
international News Service

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Oct. 8.-En-
gagged in a bitter and unre'enting
fight for more than a century, with
horrors. and atrocities go barbaric
as to be almost incomprehensible to
the mind Of the north, the citizens
of Mexico, and the tawny, Yaqui
Indians are locked in their final
struggle to the death.
Stark fear of the savages has
preyed upon the minds of the easy
going Mexicans for years, so that
the mere phrase the Yanquis are
coming" has become a watchword
dreaded throughout the northwest
of Mexico.
Now the Mexicans have turned.
actuated partly by fear, and partly
by new bravery. to wipe out the
Indians.
High in the wild, rockstrewn
Bachatete mountains the Yaquis.
driven by frequent parties of ven
geance, have made their strong
hold, and the. difficulties of the
present attacking forces have been
so great that force of $4,000
men is constantly being augmented
by infantry and cavalry.
Lightning Raids
The natural fierceness OF the
Yaquis, combined with their ability
to emerge from the mountains for
a lightning raid. and retire to their
camps. held by impregnable passes,
has made the strength Of the tribe
almost legend in Mexico.
General Obregon, a product Of
the revolutions that have periodi-
cally torn the country and unseated
governments. was once the darling
of the Indians. Nearly every revo-
lutionary force has courted the
favor of. the Yaquis. It was the
split between the Gales govern.
ment and the Episcopate, over the
question of the churches that lost
him the Yagui favor. Obregon sup.
ported the governments anti-Cath-
Ole attitude, and the Yaquis are
devoutly Catholic.
The present uprising was directed
chiefly at Obregon, on account of
his federal support.
Tales of Torture
Tales of fiendish tortures, Of pris-
oners that never returned, of inqui-
sitions more bloody than the widest
moments Of the SpanishSinquisition
are now drifting down from the
mountains, or coming to light
through repetition.
If the Obregon drive Is success
full, the fear of the Yaquis will be
broken forever, and they will never
again constitute a menace to Next
can national peace of mind. The
drive will probably open one of
the richest mining concessions IN
the world, for domestic and for
eign exploitation.
No accurate tnfoI nation is avail
able as to the exact force of the
Indians. Reports vary from 1000
to 10000

HALL MILL QUIZ /.
BY JURY STARTS.
Witnesses, Among Them the
Pig Woman Appear.

,BU United Press
SOMERVILLE, N. J., Sept. IS
The story of the Hall-Mills murder,
for four years one Of the most in
volved mysteries of Illicit love, in
trigue, scandal and murder that this
State has known, was being unfolded
today behind the closed doors of a
grand jury room.
Witness after witness was escorted
before the jury and questioned.
The State is presenting a case by
which it hopes to obtain the indict-
ment of three relatives of the Rev.
Edward w. Hall, who, with Mrs.
Eleanor Mills, choir singer in his
church, was found murdered on the
Phillips farm near New Brunswick
on Sept. 16, 1922.
The indictments asked Will be
against Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall,
widow Of the clergyman; her brother.
Willie Stevens, and their cousin,
Henry De La Bruyere Carpenter
Whether the State will ask for 9th.
er indictments was not known.
The high spot of the days testi-
mony came when Mrs. Jane Gibson,
the pig woman" was taken into
the grand jury room and questioned.
1t was her story that caused the
arrest of Mrs. Hall and her relatives.

TAXES FOR 1927
TO BE REDUCED
All Townships of City to Be
Benefited.

With the designation OF the, school
levy at $1.09 and the announce
ment by State officials that a rate
Of "a cents would be set, tax Jre-
ductions> in all townships within the
city limits are certain for 1927. 1t
became possible today.
With a reduction Of 10 cents to
$2.72, taxpayers of Center Town
ship will profit the most from tax
slashing, while Wayne Township
taxpayers will benefit from a cut of
10 cents to $2.93.
However. the totals are subject to
circumstances before the State tax
board and should be considered in
that light. There is little chance that
the State body will authorize any in
creases in the five levy units that
compose the total tax rate for per-
sons living within the corporate linn
its of indianapolis.
From present indications the prop
erty holders of Washington Town
ship will not pay more than $2.95
as opposed to $2.9S this year. The
rate for Warren Township has been
cut s cents to s2.93 and in Perry
Township there would be a 2-cent
reduction to $3.50.
The levies figured in the total are:
School city, $1.09; city of Indianapo-
lis, $1.04; Marion County, 80; State
of Indiana "a, and the various
township levies.

GRAIN VALUES
DROP SLIGHTLY
Sharp Break in Corn Is
Dominant Note.
BIZ United Press


CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-All grain
prices closed lower on the Chicago
board of trade today. The sharp
break in corn was the dominant note
on the floor.
Wheat ranged from unchanged to
q lower. Prices sold off early in the
day, despite bullish news. However,
most of the losses were regained and
the close was steady compared with
Tuesdays.
Both Liverpool and Winnipeg
weakened late in the day, and this.
as well as the break in corn, was re-
fiected in the pit. The late rally
came on news from Washington that
the government would not force any
shorts to cover as it lacked authority
to do so. Cash values were steady.
Corn sold off when holders grew
tired Of waiting for the rise that
the bad weather. was expected to
bring. The expert opinion, based on
sample cars, that the crop was
closer to maturity than was thought
also had a depressing effect. AL
though some losses were regained,
the close was 1as to 1Ac under
that of yesterday. Cash prices were
! to 11ac lower.
Oats did not get out of the rut-
simply following the other pits to a
close, Il to &c below the previous
one. There was little change in the
price for the cash article.
Although there was some support
from shorts, provisions closed lower.

MERTON FINISHES
H|STEST|MONY IN
DAUGHERTY CASE
ThWarts Effort of U. S. At
torney to Get Details
About Swiss Company.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Richard
Merton completed five and one-half
days of testimony in the Daugherty>
Miller conspiracy trial today, and the
prosecution of the former attorney
general and former alien property
custodian turned to tracing the ac-
tivities of the late John T. King
of Connecticut, former Republican
nationual committeeman.
1t was to King, according to
Merton, that Merton paid SAL, 900 in
commission" for securing return
to Swiss interests which he rep
resented Of $4,000 900 assets Of The
American Metal Company seized by
the alien property custodian during
the war.
Merton's final minutes on the wit
ness stand were marked by his
adroit thwarting of an effort by
United States Attorney Emory r.,
Buckner to draw from him oytails
of the capitalization and assets Of
the Swiss Metal Securities Company
Of Basic, Switzerland.
He testified that in 1916 the Swiss
Securities Company paid a 30 per
cent dividend-a point brought out
by Buckner to indicate that it was
not probable that by 1917 the COM
pany had to call on Merton for
guarantees.
He told of how Germans stock in
the metal company was transferred
verbally to the Swiss company.
IF Switzerland had been forced
info the war, he said, well, we
just wouldn't have been clever If we
had put this transfer in writing. 1t
might have been used as a club on
us by the Swiss and they might
have seized the stock"
