TrapperS Speculate

GN.SO.-Trappers and others
familiar with Brazil's vast jungleS
today conjectured upon the possi-
bility that Col. P. H. Fawcett,
British explorer, still was alive
after having been out of touch
with civilization for almost seven
years.
Hopes that the explorer still
lives were revived with the report
of trapper to the British consul
general, Arthur Abbott, that he
had met a white man, bearded
and dressed in skins, who claimed
to be Fawcett.
There were the possibilities
that if the man we're Fawcett, he
was being held captive.
Although several expeditions
have set out to find the explorer,
no definite word has been re-
ceived of him since he departed
for the interior with his 21-year.

The fiery mayor emerged vic

Chief criticism of the mayor
centered about a speech he de.

He also created opposition by
permitting motion pictures on

NEW YORK, March 16 GNS0
Direct intimation that the Hof,
stadter legislative committee was
moving swiftly to. the widely ex-
pected climax of its city-wide in
vestigation in the examination of
Mayor James j. Walker was seen
today.
Blanket subpoenas for bank
and brokerage accounts of Mrs.
Janet Allen Walker, the mayors
wife, were reported issued, re-
turnable Friday. This step was
interpreted as preliminary to a
probe of the mayors personal an
nual expenditures and their COM
parison with his annual official
income.
Samuel Seabury, committee
counsel, strengthened this view by
having read into the committee
records the statement which Gov
ernor Roosevelt made at the hear
ing before him of Thomas M.
Farley, whom he later ouSted as
sheriff.
The remarks indicated it was
the duty of a public official to
give a reasonable or credible"
explanation of the sources of his
income in excess of his salary.

Seymour's jail cell today.
Seymour is on trial for the
killing of Henrietta Schmerler,
Columbia University coed, last
July 18 on the Apache reserva-
tion following what he said was
a bitter quarrel while they we're
en- route on horseback to an
Indian dance.
Prisoner Near Tears
The Government will demand
that Seymour be hanged. He is
the first Apache ever to be
charged with the killing Of a
white woman.
Seymour held back tears with
difficulty when his young squaw,
with their papoose on er back,
approached him. The faces Of
Seymour'S father and mother did
not change expressions.
No English, He Says
Seymour has protested he could
not speak English and his eyes
narrowed and he scowled at Mrs.
Gertrude Cobb, of the Indian
School on the reservation, when
she testified Seymour had at
tended school and could under
stand white mans language"

physician, corroborated testimony
of Jesus Velasquez, the first TO
see the body, that two of Miss
Schmerler's teeth had been
knocked out and that she had
been struck over the eyes and
head with a sharp instrument.
Her clothing, they said, had
virtually been torn away. Miss.
Schmerler, DR.. Hupp said, had
bled to death from a knife wound
in her neck.
