FIRE. SHOWS WEALTH
OF NOMADIC LAPPS
Wandering Tribes of Northern
Sweden Maintain Own Schools
on Travels. p
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM.@How much wealth
Is sometimes accumulated by the shy
nomadic Lapps Of northern Sweden
was revealed by recent fire in a Lapp
storehouse at Laukkojaervi, far north
Of the Arctic Circle. In the wooden
hut that burned down there had been
kept furs, reindeer skins, clothing, an
tique Lapp trinkets, ornaments of sill
yer, bone handled Lapp knives and
other implements as well as over 81 900
in cash. The entire loss amounted
to more than $4,000, but, though there
was no insurance, the Lapp chief own
err will not be ruined. His main wealth
consists of his reindeer herd, which
gives him food, shelter, raiment and
transportation.
AS rule the Lapps are very secret
i've, and the Swedish governments tax
collectors have to go about their work
automatically. Asking a Lapp out.
right how many reindeer he owns is
a social error which ranks with asking
a white man how many dollars he has
In the bank.
Though nomads, the Lapps have
their own schools, managed by Sw.ad.
ish school mistresses. who follow the
ever-changing camp sites, and there
are no illiterates among the Swedish
Laps. In religion they are fervent
Lutherans.

THREE PRISONERS PICK LOCK
AND ESCAPE FROM D. C. JAIL
One Fugitive Listed as Fever Patient.
Commotion Prevents ''Listen-In" by
Inmates on Tunney-Dempsey Bout

between and 1880 o'clock with neat.
ness and dispatch. After picking the
lock and swinging wide the big iron
barred door on the south side of the
wing the prisoners removed a panel,
taking care not to mar the door, but
pulling loose the molding and then
taking out the panel. They even car
ried the pieces of wooden molding
back and laid them neatly across
their cots.
A dirty blue jacket, torn an be-
draggled, was found between the in
ner and outer doors, but Jail officials
have been unable to fathom what
part It played in the delivery. They
said that they never saw it before,
but thought it was probably an old
blanket used for cleaning purposes.
How Implements Were Obtained.
The improvised instruments used
in picking the lock and removing the
panel were obtained probably by TAX
ing parts from a pile of iron cots
which were stored in a corner of the
room occupied by the two colored
orderlies, Maj. Peake stated. Beahm
had been ordered isolated by the
Board of Health. the two colored pris.
oners had been detailed to attend him.
Although he was in weak condition
and would have been in quarantine
for 10 more days, the fever had about
run it's course.
Escape of the prisoners was made
possible, according to Mai. w, l..
Peake, superintendent of the Jail, be-
cause the Jail Is short of guards, due
to the failure of the second deficiency
bill to pass the last session of Con.
gress. No guards are quartered in
the new wing and prisoners there are
inspected only at. half-hour intervals
by guards who come from the main
building.

FRENCH DISCARDING
PROVINCIAL DRESS
Residents of Rural Sections Adopt
Paris Costumes-Girls Like
Flapper Styles.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PARIS.-Provincial costumes, once
joy to the eye of every traveller in
France, have almost ceased to exist,
but an effort is being made to revive
them.
In these days of standardization,
the men of the provinces try to look
as much like the Parisians as possible.
Their woman folk dress according to
what they believe is the style in the
Rue de la Paix, as interpreted to them
In movies that hail from Hollywood.
There was time when almost every
province had its own distinctive Golf
fure, head dress and costume. One
seldom sees them now. Country girls
are as anxious to bob their hair. raise
their skirts and wear flesh colored silk
stockings as are those of the cities.
Provincial pride in traditional head
dress still exists. On any fete day in
the French villages-and every COM
mune has it's own at least once a
year-one sees scores of women,
young and old, dressed as their grand
mothers used to look. For the most
part, however, the Alsatian bow is
seen in Alsace only on postcards. the
"nre pump head dress of Normandy
is an equally rare sight and so with
the others. The Bretons and the
Basques. men as we'll as women, have
retained the manners and modes of
their race more than any other provin-
Gals.
In prosperous. tourist-ridden Nor
mandy a series of competitions is
being organized, with prizes for the
best coiffures. head dresses and gar
ments in the manner of the country.
It Is thus hoped to keep old customs
and old costumes alive.

SLEEP|NG-ON-POST
CONVICTION UPHELD
Secretary Wilbur Approves
Court-MartiaI Action Against
Henry Kaiser, U. S. M. C. ,

Denying a last.minute appeal of de
Tense counsel for revocation of the
verdict, Secretary Wilbur today ap.
proved the action of the Navy court
martial which found Pvt. Henry
Kaiser. u. S. NJ. c.. guilty of sleeping
at his sentry post on the Bellevue
Magazine reservation, near Indian
Heed, Md.
The Navy Secretary cut to half the
courts sentence of II months M.
prisonment, taking into consideration
the fact that Pvt. Kaiser already has
been in confinement three months.
The Secretary also approved a recon-
mendation of the court that the ma
rine be discharged for bad conduct"
Charge Made, by Attorneys.
E. p. S. Newman and Richard J.
Taggart, attorneys for Kaiser. had ap.
pealed to President Coolidge about
the case. charging that the trial was
conducted irregularly and that the
Navy Department had procrastinated
in announcing the verdict. Kaiser
had contended that he was not sleep
ing. but was in a faint on the night
of June IL last when found reclining
in a small sentry house on the reser.
walton. He declared Navy physicians
had examined him and found him
physically unfit for military duty na.
cause of heart trouble.
Secretary Wilbur, in announcing the
verdict today, denied the contention
of counsel that the trial was irregular
and that the Marine was i'll when
found in sleeping position.
II went carefully into this case and
it was reviewed twice by the judge
advocates office" Mr.. Wilbur stated
I'VE found that the charge was amply
proved by the testimony.
View OF Naval Physicians.
NAVAL physicians have found that
Kaiser's heart misses beat now and
then, but that fact could have nc
bearing on the charge in question
namely, that Kaiser was asleep at his
post. He might also have had a toe
missing, which would render him
unfit for military service. but 1t would
not affect the charge of being asleep
which is an entirely separate matter
Charges of the attorneys that thu
record in the case was altered were
denied by the Navy Department. II
had been contended that false testi
,nony was inserted in the record after

ALAMOSA. Colo.-The mystery of
"Alamosa's haunted house, has deep.
ened with its disappearance
Situated in an expanse of prairie,
the two.story frame house long has
offered a neighborhood enigma. Flick.
ering lights were seen through win.
dows on dark nights, with ghostly
figures fiuttering from one disman-
tied room to another, tales said.
+. Holes Cut i'm Walls.
Finally Sheriff Thomas w. Taylor
visited the place and discovered that
the interior of the old dwelling had
been. literally hacked to pieces.
Gaping holes had been cut in the
walls, the ceilings, the floors and the
foundations. The evident purpose of
the vandals was to ferret out the
hiding place Of a package of cur
rency and gold amounting to several
thousands of dollars, supposed to
have been hidden by a woman who
occupied the house years ago.
The searchers had cut holes In a
manner that enabled them to explore
every recess of the house.
Taxes Long Overdue.
Sheriff Taylor searched the records
of the county assessor and learned
that no taxes had been paid on the
place since 1911. Failing to find the
owner, he returned to have another
look at the place.
Instead OF finding any further
clues, the sheriff made the discovery
that not a stick" was left of the
mystery house.
1t is the theory of the sheriff that
the treasure seekers, failing to find
the money, determined to make a
thorough hunt and dsmantled the
place stick at a time, carting away
the lumber.

And skies are blue and high hills call
Away from the things that cry and
clamor,
And peat on the heart like an iron
hammer
In a ceaSeless round to useless goal
Away where the stars are big and
bright
AS lamps of God in the desert night:
When silence lies like waveless sea
That reaches from now to eternity
Till dawn comes up on the peaks
above
Like the light of Joy in the eyes you
love.
Away where the earth is strong and
free,
With room for the men who are yet
20 be;
Where hope is truest and life is
best
Away out West
Out from the things that cramp and
hold,
And shape mans life in an iron
mold
Oub IfOm walls on every SlQe,
Out to the space clean and Widc;
Sky for a roof and the earth for
floors;
Home rs big as all outdoors;
Wind in the pines for a singing harp,
Camp fire high on granite scarp;
Rustlings soft in the leaves and
grass,
Shy and quick where the, wild things
pass;
Life of the wilderness, better to
meet
Than the things of night on q city
street.
Out where we turn from yesterday
And wish our hearts in the clean
today.
Out where man is free to make
New roads of life for new hopes
