The legislature then often was controlled by negroes.
 The whites could elect governors in state wide elections but could never be sure of the legislature. So they shifted all possible authority to the chief executive.
 Until Long appeared, the system was harmless. Long, a fervid stu dent of politics, understood possi- bilities and was ready to grasp them when he became governor in 1928.
 He began by giving recess ap- pointments on state boards to his followers but taking their undated resignations before appointing them.
 Thus he retained control of state officers he didn't have the power to oust. This was the founda- tion of the Louisiana dictatorship.
 Blankets Everywhere
 Today it blankets the legisla- ture, the Judiciary and the execu- tive branches. The job of every city street sWeeped, crossroads con stable and school teacher is Long's to command, all governed by an elaborate system of state bureaus.
 Longs grash on election machin- cry is so complete that only his partisans preside at and police the polling booths, distribute and count the ballots.
 The web of his tax system was so fine-spun that he could and did impOverish the city of New Or leans by stopping its revenues, or increase the tax assessments to bankrupt merchant he disliked.
 Plenty of Guards
 To enforce his will and guard his life, there is an unlimited army of state police, including uniformed highway patrolmen and secret in- vestigators; the entire National guard of Louisiana which he mobil- ized so often, and every city police and sheriff force, not to mention his personal bodyg uards, which nt times numbers score of men.
 Whether he lives or dies now, Long is perpetuated for ages in free school books and bronze plaques of his likeness in the classrooms; in the $5,000,000 state capitol building where he was shot; in a 5000, OO0 bridge across the Mississippi river at New Or leans now nearing completion, in many other free bridges and thousands of miles of paved roads.

 Addis Ababa, Sept. 9-UP)-- Ethiopia's delegation at Geneva will be instructed to offer at least four concessions to Italy in an ef- fort to avert war, 1t was reported here today. Officials would not confirm the reports.
 The new instructions were for mulated, it was said, by Emperor Halle Selassie's advisers who worked almost increasingly over the weekend.
 According to the reports, the concessions would include: An offer of a section of Ogaden, bordering on Italian Somaliland, to Italy.
 Agreement to have the League | of Nations name advisers to the f Ethiopian government, with the | proyiso that the emperor retain power to veto the appointments il they are unsatisfactory to him.
 Permit Italy to construct a road from the Italian province of Brit req south to Gondar, Ethiopia, just north of Lake Tsana, headwaters of the blue Nile on which Great Britain is dependent for irrigation of the Egyptian Sudan.
 The fourth concession was not known.
 What position the advisers as- sume is not known. But it is re- called that the emperor hitherto has been irrevocably opposed tc anything approaching a mandate or a protectorate. The emperor has been represented as fearing civi war if he permits anything thai might impair Ethiopia's integrity or sovereignty.
 Concern Over Women.
 Addis Ababa, Sept. g. (UP)- 1 DajaZmatch Amda Mikael has been ordered to proceed to Ogadef at the head of 5000 troops, mostly GalIas, who are famed cavalry fighters. it was disclosed today.

It was believed the Gambela gocvernor misunderstood orders and believed nobody was permitted to leave except by ex- press permission of the government He therefore refuse to honor their passports into the Sudan.
 The women and children were al Gore and sayo, respectively 40 and 25 miles from Gambela.

One notable exploit wherein Mr..
White was a participant was the ex-
ploration Of the upper waters OF Snake
river and its canyon during the WIN
ter of 1876-77. Lieut.. Doane vas the
leader in this exploratory journey. He
selected for his companions Sergeant

Ellis troops. Mr.. White was II of
these favored men. The military group

some time spent in surveying the lakes
borders ard adjacent heights their
course was taken up for entering the
Snake river. Then the real trouble
began.
Two men worked their way over the
mountains along the western side of

got through to the level country below
the canyon. DOane and his five men
in the boat met many obstacles, each
successive one worse than the preced-
ing ones. The eliminating disaster was
the loss of their beat and all of its
contents, including food. They were
reduced to capturing and eating a
p%orcupine. and aftcrWard they walked
three days with 10 food at all. In
course of tine. though. all of them got

Idaho. Early in tic following March

that thrilling voyage. Doubtless, In

an important historical document.
Another special duty for which Lieut..
Doane selected Private White as an
assistant arose in the spring of 1877.
Just then the Nez Perces Indians were
threatening warfare. 1t was considered
prudent to enlist the Grow Indians, old
friends of the NeZ PerceS, on the army

Reno's wounded men to the steamboat
Far West" at the mouth of the Little
Big Horn river. In their rummaging8
for such material they took blankets
and robes from the dead bodies Of In
dian warriors which had been left at
the site of the Indian camps. They took
also much of the fine beaded costum-
ings and other decorative articles from
the fallen warriors. Relics of various
kinds were taken to preserve as
enirs. Mr.. White confiscated several
pairs OF mOccaSinS and q and mirrcr
whose 1ndian-made frame "a adorned
with brass tacks. They discovered many
tools and implements left behind by
the Indians, these articles indicating
past raids on emigrants. After two days
spent at the scene all of the Gibbon
and Reno forces left to transport the
wounded men to the steamboat. The
bearers of the filters walked, with many
stops needed for rest of themselves and
the disabled soldiers. 1t took them
from sunset of June 20 to midnight Of
the 30th to cover this distance, now
measuring about 16 or II miles along
the main Custer battlefield highway.
After his military term expired In
sarokee agency and o o afterward set
tied on land at the mouth of the Still
water river. There he built up one Of
the best farms in that section. Later he
moved to Columbus, engaged in mer-
chandising, and lived there through q
long term of years. In recent timea
he accepted the appointment as official
guide at the Custer battlefield. .
Tourist visitors to the battlefield are
intensely stirred by the stories of Mr..
White. Interest is accentuated by rea-
son of his having been on the original
scene in 1876, and by his being nov
one of the very last survivors of that
era. He knows, for he was there. Al
though he has strong views concerning
the affair, he is quite mild in expressing
his views. He is not in the least boast
full, and his hearers accord to him the
full accrediting to which he is entitled.
It is almost pitiable to think that here
is one Montana man whose position
never can be filled suitably after he d
gone.

ment, while all INDUCED in a hunt
among the great buffalo herds north of
the Yellowstone and the Musselshell
rivers. He agreed to provide them with
all of the ammunition they needed for
this purpose, and in addition he would
distribute liberal gifts of sugar, dried
apples and other delicacies so appeal
ing to the Indian appetite.
The Crows received Lieut.. Doane's
proposal with enthusiasm. Soon after
the first of May he and his three SOL
Giers, with the United States flag borne
on high, headed a procession of the
entire combined bands of the Grow In
dian tribe going out from the agency.
They travelled east to Big Horn,
crossed to the north side of the Yellow
stone, and before long they were among
the buffalo herds. About that time
word came hat the Nez Perces were on
their way into Montana, with General
Howard and his soldiers in pursuit of
them. Doane and his three men left
the Crows in the Musselshell country
n went to join in the military activ-
tiles against Nez Perces. In this cam
paign Mr.. White was attached to the
forces of General Howard in Yellow
stone park and served as guide for his
down the Clark's Fork river and across
to the north of the Yellowstone.
A very interesting period in Mr..
Whites soldier career was during the
campaign of 1876. He was with his cav
I airy troop accompanying General Glib
bon at that time. Major Brisbin was
in immediate command of the four
troops of Second cavalry. Lieut.. Roe
was in immediate command of Mr..
Whites troop F.. They left Fort Ellis
on the first day of April and did not re-
turn until October. All that interven-
ing time was spent in the Yellowstone
country in pursuit of the Sioux and
Cheyenne Indians. Although the Glib
bon soldiers failed to come into actual
conflict with the Indians sought, on
various occasions they came close to
conflict. The most noted of such oc-
casions "a when they arrived at the
Little Big Horn battle scene two days
after Custer and his men had been
killed.

(By DIR. THOMAS B. MARQUIs).

The official guide for visitors to
the Custer battlefield since 1892 has
been william III. White. In the
autumn of this year, 1885, he will
have reached the age of "a. Almost
63 years ago, just as he attained the
legal manhood age, he enlisted in the
United States Second cavalry. His
home state was Indiana, but the en-
listment was at Louisville, Kentucky.
After a brief training period at JEFF
fersOn Barracks, st. Louis, Mo-, he
and other recruits were sent to Fort
Sanders, WyO., and then sent on to
C0rrinne, Utah.
At this point they detrained and set
out for an overland march northward
into Montana. On this march they were
led by Lieut.. Lowell H. Jerome-the
same Jerome who died but a few
months ago in New York as an aged
OF the march vas Fort Ellis, Mont.
This became the home post of Private
William H. White throughout his army
career, ending in 1877.
-Four troops of the Second cavalry
regiment were stationed at Fort Ellis
during all of the years of its existence.
The headquarters of the regiment was
at Fort Sanders, Wyo., but. as usually
was the case with military regiments
IN n western states ana territories,
the troop units were scattered for gar
risoning the frontier posts with small
number of soldiers. These Fort Ellis
cavalrymen were in an area command
ed by Colonel John Gibbon, the leader
Of the infantry regiment having its
headquarters at Fort Shaw. Often the
Fort Ellis men did field duty under the
active leadership of Gibbon. At times
they were shifted into the ranks of Col
onel Nelson A. Miles, another infantry
commander, who had his regimental
center at Fort Keogh. In the late
summer and autumn of 1876 they fell
for a time under the command of Brig
adler General George Crook.
Indeed, in none Of their many field
activities in Montana were these Fort
Ellis cavalrymen led by their W regi-
ments commanding officer.
Their isolation from their own regi..
mental center was continuously such
that in military circles they became

Second cavalry"
Major Sweitzer, and afterward Major
Brisbin, were local commanding Of
ficers of Fort Ellis during the time MI.
White was in service at this post. The
troops were named F, G, H and l..
The captains were Tyler, Wheelan, Ball
and Thompson. Lieutenants were
Doane, Roe, Jerome, McAdams and
Hamilton. MI. White was a member
of troop F, led by Captain Tyler and
pany of Gibbons Fort Shaw infantry
regiment was kept stationed at Fort
Ellis. Lieutenant Coolidge was in charge
Of them during the most of Mr.. Whites
time there.
The base pay for private soldiers at
that time was $13 per month. After two
years of service the pay was increased
to $14 through the third year. During
the fourth year it became SIS, and dur
ing the fifth year it was lifted again to
SIG. If a second enlistment period of
five years was entered upon the pay
was $18 per month through that en-
tire five year period. Yet, during the
first five-year period of enlistment the
added pay due through the third, four
tn and fifth years was held back and
paid in full, in a lump sum-, at the end
of the soldiers term. Thus the army
main factors saw to it that each man
had coming to him on the day of his
discharge a sum of cash sufficient to
take him wherever he might desire to
go. Each successive enlistment brought
further increases in the pay. To cap
it all, whoever served continuously
through 80 years vas permitted to re-
tire on a lifetime part-pay that would
keep him from fear of starvation.
An early experience in MI. Whites
military service was with a party of
noted visitors to Yellowstone park in
1873. Among these sightseers were Sec
rotary Of Wa Belknap, Inspector Gen
eral Marcy, General Forsyth, General
Strong, various eastern politicians or
public officials, a New York physician,
and Charlie Reynolds, the noted scout
who afterward was killed at the Little
Big Horn. General Sheridan was ex-
pected, but for some reason he did not
arrive. However, his negro man cook
arrived, and with him came the high

Lieut.. G. c. Doane was assigned to
command the Fort Ellis cavalry escort

was one of those men selected. There
we're sound reasons for placing Lieut..
