ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Cochise's Friend

IN 1860 there came to the territory
of Arizona Sandy-haired. ruddy-
0rearded giant named Capt. T j. JEFF
Mississippi ex-stage coach driver on
the Rulterfield line. who engaged as
a free trader with the Indians from
whom he picked up some knowledge of
the Apache language. Next he took
over sub contract from the Butter
helds for carrying the mail between
Silver City and Yuma His mail route
ran through the hear OF the Apache
country where Cochise, the great war
chief of the Chiricahuas. had declared
undying vengeance against the whites.
Captain Jetfords soon realized that
his line was doomed to failure unless
something could be done about the
ApacheS To try to conquer them by
force was out Of the question. The
United States army had not been
other chance was diplomacy Known
everywhere as an utterly fearless man
and one who never broke promise.
Captain Jeffords believed that Cochise
was a mar of the same caliber. So he
arranged for meeting with the chief
and agreed to ride alone and unarmed
into the natural fortress in the noun.
tains known as "Cochise's Strong.
hold" Such was the reputation of
the Apaches for. treachery and ferocity
that Jeffords' project was the equiv
alent of child walking into den OF
starved Bengal tigers.
But Jeffords took the chance and
Cochise was so impressed by the audac.
ity of the white man that he would
not permit his warriors to iniure the
captain Then the two men got down
to business. Pointing ont the fact
that the constant fighting was costing
the lives OF both white men and In
dians Jeffords made a strong plea for
peace between them. If Cochse would
leave his mail carriers alone, he in
turn would make no effort to harm the
Apaches
This meeting was the beginning OF
strange friendship which was to
make the name of Jeffords known
throughout the Southwest When
President Grant sent Gen o o How
ard TO make peace with the Anaches
after the army had failed to subdue
them. it was Captain Jeffords who
took General Howard unarmed and
accompanied only by his aide. Captain
Sladen into Cochise's stronghold for
conference with that chief. The
people OF Arizona pronounced How
ards mission foohardy one and said
that he would never come hack alive
But Jeffords knew that the Apache
chief having given his word not to
harm the general would keep It, The
result was treaty of peace which
Cochise kept until his death and the
credit for bringing TO an end for a
time the reign OF terror by the
Apaches in the Southwest was due to
the efforts of one brave man who nj
ways kept his word. Captain T. ]. lief.

Md. Farm Bureau
Names Committee
For Truck Study
Expected Legislation Causes
ActiOn-TO Analyze Farmers
Transportation Problems

Because farmers, as a class, are the
largest users of railroads and motor
truck as a means of transportation
and because it is believed that at the
coming session of Congress and the
General Assembly of Maryland vari-
GUS measures may be introduced some
of them prompted perhaps by the
railroads, looking to more severe reg
ulation of trucks and buses and other
measures sponsored by motor inter-
ests trying to make their position
more secure, the Executive Committee
of the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has authorized President E.
Thomas Massey to appoint a trans
portation committee Of representa-
tive farmers, named to study this
question.
The committee, it is announced, will
be selected from various parts of
Maryland and will look into the trans
portation question as it affects farm
ers. The committee will, it is believed,
be named in the near future and they
will make an impartial investigation
and analysis of the situation without
favor either to railroads or motor in
terests. The committee will be asked
to see merely that the farmers best
interests are served in making their
report.
In naming the transportation COM
mittee President Massey said he be-
lieves similar efforts to regulate the
operation of railroad rolling stock an6
trucks may be made in other States
as well as in Maryland. Regardless OF
whether or not such efforts are made
in this or other States it is felt the
transportation problem is one vitality
affecting the interests of Maryland
farmers at this time and should be
given careful study.
Succeeding the late President James
W. Davis of Hartford County Mr.
Massey has been authorized by the
Executive Committee to assume the
duties of President of the Farm
Bureau until the annual meeting ir
January when officers will be elected
He has been vice-president of the
State organization and president Of
the Kent County Farm Bureau and i:
veteran organization worker. Hi'
home is in Massey, Nd.

Frederick Trial
OF COblentz To
Begin Nov. 18th
Charged With Accepting De-
pOsits In Home Bank When
Company Was Insolvent

November IA was set for the begin
ming of the trial in which State Sem
ator Emory L. Coblentz, of Frederick,
will face charges of accepting de-
posts in the Central Trust Company
when he was alleged to have known
that that institution was insolvent.
The Frederick County grand jury
indicted Senator Coblentz on October
8 on three separate charges of receiv-
ing deposits at the home bank when
he knew the company was insolvent.
The Central Trust Company, whose
principal offices were in Frederick and
its eleven branches closed September
8, 1881. Indictments have also been
returned against Coblentz in Howard
and Carroll Counties.
The Howard County case was re-
moved to the Allegany County Circuit
Court and early this summer Coblentz
who was the former president of the
defunct institution, was convicted by
the full bench of the Cumberland
court of accepting $317 deposit at
the Ellicott City branch of the Central
Trust Company and was sentenced to
eighteen months in the Maryland
House of Correction when the bench
refused motion for a new trial.
Leo Weinberg, his counsel, immed-
lately offered petition for an appeal
to the Court of Appeals and pending
the decision of the States highest
court the defendant was released on
bond.
The date of the Frederick trial was
set on agreement between States At
torney Walter E. Sim of Frederick
and Leo Weinberg, who will conduct
Mr.. Coblentz' defense. The defendant
has elected to have his case heard by
Judges Urner and Willard of the
Frederick court.
No date has been assigned for TAX
ing up the charge of nonperformance
of duties returned by the September
grand jury of Frederick against
George w. Page, State bank commits
sioner. 1t is believed, however, that
this day will be set shortly after com
pletion of the Coblentz cases.
Co-incident with the setting of the
date for trial of Coblentz charges, il
was learned that attorneys in the case
hope to limit the length of the tria
to one week in contrast to the three
weeks which the removed trial from
Howard county to Allegany county
consumed. 1t is felt that possibly somt
transcript of the Allegany county rec
ord may be used and that a portion
of the previous great mass of testi
mony may be avoided.
