LINDBERGH is MOVED.

SAN FRANCISCO. July IA Op).--
Informed of the death of Capt Emilio
Carranza. Mexico's aerial hero, in an
attempt to fly from New York To Mexico
CITY, Col Charles A. Lindbergh. who
is here In connection with his newly
assumed position with the Transcon-
tinental Air Transport, begged To be
allowed to keep his feelings To HIM
self
In many respects Carranza was to
the Southern republic what Lindbergh
is TO the United States. A few weeks ago
Carranza attempted nonstop flight
from Mexico City To Washington as a
good will venture paralleling Lindbereh's
trip from one capital to the other. Pre-
viously the Mexican aviator had flown
from Mexico City to southern Cali
fornia He also made a nonstop flight
from the southern capital to the Ari-
iona border. Lindbergh knew him per-
sonally and praised these flights as
specimens of great airmanShip,
Carranza used Ryan monoplane,
which was almost n duplicate of the
Spirit of ST Louis,
Friends of the colonel declared that
hts high regard for the Mexican flyer
had made him feel that Carran2as
death was too personal matter for
comment.

Capt Emilio Carran2as plane in which
he persisted offered him no chance for
A quick exit in fight. and he knew that.
come what may, he would have TO stay
with his ship TO the very last.
While of the same type and manu-
facture as the Spirit Of St Louis, Capt,
Carranza's Ryan brougham monopiane
embodied different arrangement OF
fuel storage facilities which made
quick exit from the plane virtually I'M
possible.
This fact was impressed upon Army
and Navy airmen who welcomed the
Mexican "Lindbergh" at Boiling Field
a month ago at the end of his one-stop
flight from Mexico City to Washington.
The plane TAXED up to the line ana
while the little pilot chewed gum mop
ped his brow and waited for the engine
to die down the general question was:
How does he get out?"
Capt. Carranza's seat was immediate

ventional place in the regular cabin

angle shape, with a rectangle window

Carranza's Plane In Which He Perished

Capt. Carranza to pull a Houdini."
Finally he drew himself up in his seat,

window and gradually squeezed his body
through, dropping about three or four
feet to the ground. This opening was
TOO small to permit the small, 1.-the body
of the pilot to carry parachute either
of the seat or back type.
Capt. CarranZa had fairly reason
BILE chance of making safe landing
after dark on the New York-New Or
leans airway. owing TO the fact there
are many emergency fields along this
course end all are marked with beacons
He demonstrated his ability To make a
successful forced landing after dark
when he went into Department of
Commerce emergency field near MooreS-
Vile, NJ c.. about O'Clock on the morn
ing of June II. He was flying In rain
ard heavy fog which presented such
dangerous flying condition that the
hardened and daring night mail pilots
were held on the ground
Capt Carranza's plane carried no
night flying equipment. such as wing
headlights and parachute flares, when it
arrived here from Mexico City, and, as
far as could be learned here, It was not
so equipped for the return flight.

Indians Bring Out
Charms of Tribe
Hidden 125 Years
Visit Cache Far in Quebec
Wilds for Exhibits at
Niagara Falls Fete.

By the Associated Press.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July IA
Three wampum belts. the most priced
possession OF the Algonquin Indians of
Canada, will be exhibited to the white
man today for the first time in more
than a century. The belts were brought
from northern Quebec by Chief Michel
Cote, whose Indian name Is Listen, and
five companions. who arrived here yes
terday to participate in the celebration
of the return to the Indians by United
States courts their treaty rights to cross
the International border at will without
regard for immigration regulations.
For 1875 years the wampum belts
have been carefully hidden In the
northern wiIds of Quebec. They were
taken to the far north when the Algon-
quins feared the whites would make an
effort TO seize them.
Ages Old"
mo one knows how old these wam-
pun belts are" said Chief Cote.
They are thousands of years old. but
how many no man can tell. According
to Indian legend, the three belts were
made by the Great Spirit and given to
the Indians ages ago to Signallze the
birth of De-Kan-I-We-Deh, the peace
maker. The Indian legend Of De-Kan-
I-We-Deh resembles closely the Bible
story of Christ. According to the
legend, the Great Spirit was De-Kam-1-
We-Deh's father, and an Indian woman
was his mother. Like the white mans
Christ, ne was prosecuted as he went
about among the Indians preaching
brotherly love and peace.
when we decided to come to the
celebration here we held council to
discuss the bringing of the wampum
belts. 1t was decided to bring them
and small party of Indians went
canoe and through forests. just as their
ancestors did so many years ago when
they went north to hide the belts.
Know No English.
Besides Chief Cote. the guardians
of the wampum of the trip to the
United States are Louis Maghawan,
Moses Abraham. Chief James Brockaby,
Joe White Duck and George Mac
Dougall, all full-blooded Algonquin In
dams. and several of them totally
ignorant OF the English language, al
though all speak their native language
and French All are from the province
of Quebec, They made the trip from
Quebec by automobile
1t Is expected that several hundred
Indians from the United States and
Canada will participate in the celebra-
ton today and that a majority will be
in native costume

The Mexican people feel the tragedy
with a peculiar poignancy because OF
the fervor with which they had antlcl-

of aviation. Despite the brilliancy OF
Carranza's fight TO Washington, MS
forced landing at Mooresville was
sore wound to national pride. They re-
garded his New York Mexico City at

Mexican honor.
Mexicans are saying that the failure
Of Mexico to have to its credit flights
such as some, is wiped out by Car
ranzas demonstration that a Mexican
airman knows how to soar out to death
as calmly as the aviators Of every other
land.
Morrow Offers Condolences.
The expression heard most on the
streets of the capital was:
"Carranza braved the storms for the
sake of Mexico'S good name
Dwight w. Morrow, American Am

soon as reports of the tragedy were verl-
fed. He expressed his profound per-

and also conveyed the condolences oil
the United States Government. He also
sent a telegram of coincidence to Car
ranZa's father in New York and dis
patched messages to his mother. widow
and sister in Mexico City. He issued a
statement saying:
Il am greatly shocked. The people
Of The United States will share the sor-
row of the people of Mexico over the
death of this gallant officer. Although
Carranza's life was short. his achieve
ments were great. His name was added
to that band of gallant young pioneers
who have given their lives in the mas
terry of the air"
President Gales and other govern
ment officials were stunned at the news
Gales issued this statement:
THE President is filled with pro-
found sorrow over this terrible tragedy
