VIENNA. July 13. U,P) - Austria
will retain its independence under
its new agreement with Germany
and will refuse to join any war like
combination, Chancellor Kurt Schu-
schnigg said today.
In an interview with the United
Press he explained in detail the ne
gotiation of the agreement and its
meaning.
He said, specifically, that the
question of restoration of the HapS-
burg dynasty in Austria would re
main dormant for the present.
Fierce opposition to the Hapsburg
by Little Entente nations, he said
makes it inadvisable to raise the
question.
Restoration in any event, he
said, could come about only by
national plebiscite, not through a
coup.
THE arrangement to which have
come with Germany" the chan
cellor explained, SIS simply one for
resumption of normal relations.
Such relations can not be said to
exist between two countries when
one is trying constantly to interfere
in the others internal politics.

Mckinney signaled to his helpers
to spring the trap at 5:06 a. m.
and at 5:39 a. m. Gardner was
pronounced dead
The Indian was executed in a
gully just below Coolidge dam on
the San Carlos reservation here.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken by Marshal Mckinney to
prevent any possible attempt by
other Indians to rescue the con-
demned man.
Special Guards
He had AZ special deputies sta
tened at the top of the gully and
on the dam. All carried revolVerS
and rifles.
Despite the fears of trouble
from Gardner's fellow Apaches. not
an Indian was seen during the
entire morning. The braves re-
manned in their dwellings, heed
ing the warnings of Indian agents
that troublemakerS would be dealt
with severely.

ported from the Gila county Jail

cerated for the past six months,
the Indian was Secreted in the
rear seat of an automobile and
n driven here at midnight.
\, He was accompanied by his spir-
ltual advisor, the Rev. Francis M.
Uplegger, Lutheran missionary.
When not conversing with Rev.
Uplegger, he sat reading western
stories in the automobile.
One of Gardner's last wishes
was to read the concluding chap
tiers of several continued stories
Sheriff Charles Byrne of Gila
county had them sent to the pri-
son by airmail from the east.
No Civilians
No civilian spectators were per-
mitted to view the execution be-
cause of the fear of trouble from
the Indians. Newspapermen as
signed to report the hanging all
were sworn in as special deputies.
Although the department of
justice had urged Mckinney to
execute Gardner publicly as a
warning to ether quick tempered
Apaches, Mckinney refused be-
cause he feared the Indians would
become enraged and attempt To
revenge the death.
The federal government desired
to make Gardeners death an ex-
ample to his fellow tribesmen on
the reservation here where slay-
ings are frequent.
Gardner, known in the Apache
language as -pau-kee- -seyi, OF
the killer, hacked his wife and his
son to death when she asked him
to take care of the infant while
she went to church.
Under tribal law, the Indian had
right to kill his wife as women
are considered chattels, but he
faced possible torture and death
