9-YEAR-OLDS GO
TO AID REBELS
Six Stout FeIIas' End Trip
in Police Station.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, March 12.-When
the Mexican revolution broke out,
six determined boys passed up the
idea of going out west to kill In
dams and decided to join the Mexi-
can rebel forces instead.
So, Monday, the boys, ranging in
age from to II, removed a large
bagful of pennies they had saved,
the capital to equip their expedition,
and purchased four toy pistols, four
pairs of goggles, three flashlights
and three dirkS.
Then they set out from their
homes in Staten Island for Mexico.
But they had neglected to bring
along a compass, and they soon
found themselves slightly off course,
due north in the Bronx Here, one
of the six deserted and headed back
horne.
Early today, Policeman John A.
O'Kane of Bronx, observed a queer
behaving fashlight. He investigated
and found five shivering boys hud-
died on blanket.
Later, the boys, Charles Popoff,
Charles Kramer, William Simpson,
Thomas Newhort and his brother
Bernard, warmed by hot coffee, sat
in the Bronx Park police station and
told the story of their plans and
adventures.

AMERICAN TO
TRY TO-DAY FOR
SPEED RECORD
Seeks to Better Mark Set
by Segrave in Dash
Monday.

BIZ Uuitcd Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
12.--Lee Bible, now a fameless auto
racer, this afternoon will climb into
the low-hung seat of j. M Whites
Triplex speed car and attempt to
achieve the lacking fame by beat
ing the high mark set Monday by
Major H. o. D. Segrave of 231.362
miles an hour.
The Triplex, though holding the
stage today, can not lessen the bril-
lance of Mondays performance by
the Golden Arrow with the English
man Segrave at the wheel.
Both White and Bible seem conf
dent that with any sort of luck,
their speedometer will hit the $50
mile-an-h pace.
Segrave's racer, painted flaming
gold, with hsh-tail rear, was rolled
onto the natural runway on the
hard white sand, and the motor
started the noise of the warming
up process was deafening.
Mountain of Speed
At the slow pace for the high
geared machine, about 100 miles an
hour, Segrave logged it up the
stretch, the engine droning with a
peculiar overtone which set the
nerves of the watchers on edge.
Beneath the drone was the machine
gun-like fire of the exhaust.
The tide dropped sufficiently and
then both man and his mountain
of speed" got into real action.
With the shining Atlantic for a
background, the Englishman sent
the Irving Napier built car blurring
across the landscape.
In the stand sat his wife, her eyes
shut tight, a bottle of smelling salts
in her hand. 1t seemed she had
barely closed her eyes before the
first half of the test was over. The
sight was merely road, a whining,
decreasing drone, a blur of gold
and a sigh of relief.
Pleased at Result
The official checkers Solennly an
nounced the time for the first mile
with the wind behind Segrave's
back as at the rate of 231.51 miles
an hour.
SegraVe, without knowing the
first result, turned his car around,
sent it bowling over the table
smooth sand again, this time against
the wind, and heard his record an
bounced. 1t was the average time
the return being rated 23121 miles
per hour.
He climbed from his seat beneath
the cowling which hides him as he
drives and from where he must
watch the road through special
periscope, and ran to his wife.
The driver, who before the dash
said he reasoned had but one
chance in ten of coming out Of the
test alive, easily showed his relief
and pleasure at the results.

Taylor U. Professor to

b. Times Special
UPLAND, Ind, March l2.-Tribal
secrets of the Cherokee Indians are
expected to be revealed by an ez-
petition headed by Professor John
II. F'urbay, head of the research de-
partmnet of Taylor university here.
The expedition will work in Ken
lucky during the summer.
Possessed of facts and ments
which he says establish his conf
dence in the scientific value of his.
enterprise, Prof. Furbay asserts a
belief that the undertaking will
bring forth a valuable contribution
to American Indian historical data.

Left Treasure for War
The treasure which is said to be
in the cave. was buried more than
q century and a half ago by
Cherokee tribe which, according to
Professor Furbay, was summoned by
another Indian tribe in Michigan
to aid in a tribal war.
Before setting out for Michigan,
the Irdians of Kentucky buried
their treasure in a cave and were
accompanied on their trek north
ward by squaws and children of the
tribe.
During the war, the Kentucky
tribesmen we're annihilated with the
lone exception of one member, Tin
der. He carried away from the
scene of the massacre a map, drawn
by his chief and giving instructions
for locating the cave. Having hid
den the mouth of the cave, the
chief had made the map SO that
the tribe, on its return, might find
the concealed recess.
finder returned to Kentucky after
many hardshipS and began his
search for the cave. His hunt, how
ever. proved fruitless and on his
deathbed be bequeathed to an old
settler who had befriended him dur
ing his fatal illness his sole possess
sion, the chiefs map.
The old settler was a Kentucky
mountianeer, who gave the parch-
ment, which was written in French,
to a cousin, DOC" Wayland, now
aged and decrepit. He resides in
Ohio.
Believes Solution Near
Wayland attached little impor-
lance to the document, but recent
ly he showed it to friend, VINO
became interested and communicate
ed with Professor Furbay. The pro-
lessor conducted a preliminary eX-
petition into the Kentucky noun
tains last month and on his return
announced his belief he had discov-
cred the key to the secret cave.
Professor Furbay said that appar-

the land in that vicinity had taken
place and closed the mouth of the
cave, but that subsequent rains had
washed away much of the debris in
the vicinity. Recently boys prowl-

sealed cave.
Professor Furbay and a compan-
ion braved the difficulties of Feb

serted answers the description con-
famed in the Indian chiefs docu-
Tment. The land is owned by an
obscure mountaineer, who has leased

In the house a group which
branded itself as ardently dry was
circulating a petition addressed to
Bishop Thomas Nicholson, president
