Special Foreign Rights
in Egypt Are Ended

EGYPT took another step toward
IL complete independence when a
convention was officially signed at
Montreaux, Switzerland, terminal
ing foreign "capitulations" or spe-
cial foreign rights in the land of the
Nile. Special courts for trying for
eigners in Egypt will be gradually
abolished during d twelve year tran
sition period. Freedom for Amer
lean scientists to carry on their
work in Egypt, including excava-
tions at Luxor and Sahara, is guar
anteed, and all American educa-
tional, medical and charitable insti-
tutions will be permitted to continue
their activities.
All foreign voice in the making of
law in Egypt will end on October
Is, 1887, and foreigners thenceforth
will be subject to Egyptian laws and
taxes.

Trying to Solve Explosion
of the Hindenburg

CEVERAL Investigations into the
~ disaster that befell the huge
German dirigible Hindenburg were
started, the most important being
that of the air commerce bureau.
There was not much in the black
ened skeleton of the airship at Lake
hurst, N. j., from which could be
obtained an explanation of the ex-
plosion that brought it down in blaz-
ing ruin, killing 81 of its passengers
and crew and one spectator Among
the theories the most likely was
that the airship's hydrogen gas was
ignited either by static electricity
that ran up the landing lines or by
backfire from stern motor
The airship, just arrived from Eu-
rope on its first transatlantic trip
of the year, was about to land when
there was an explosion toward the
stern. Instantly flames broke out
and ran the length of the ship. The
tail sagged first, then the nose
crashed down and the split sections
telescoped as they fell. A few of
the A passengers and some mem
bers of the crew were able to jump
to safety, but many of the others
aboard hadn't a chance for their
lives. The navy men of the ground
crew heroically plunged into the
flaming wreckage and dragged out
those victims who could be reached.
Among the victims Of the disaster
was Capt. Ernst Lehman, who pi-
loted the Hindenburg last year. He
had relinquished the command to
Capt. William Pruss but was aboard
in an advisory capacity. He was
terribly burned and died in hos
pital. Captain Pruss was severely
injured.
1t was officially announced in Ber-
lin that another airship would re-
sumo the service to North America
in the autumn. 1t is now under con-
Struction.

Apache Agent

A/HEN, in 1873, old-timers in
w Arizona learned that twenty
tWo-year-old Fastener, fresh from
Rutgers college, had been appointed
agent for the San Carlos reserva-
ton, gale Of laughter swept that
section Of the Wild West. why,
them Apache devils will skeer that
tenderfoot out inside a week." they
guffawed. But they didn't know the
stuff that was in John Philip Clum.
Taking charge at San Carlos, he
decided that the terrible Apaches"
weren't so terrible if they were
treated like human beings instead
OF animals, as the Spaniard, the
Mexican and the American from
tiersmen had regarded them. So
he made them sef-governing by
founding the first body Of Indian
police ever organized to keep or
der on the reservation and by estab-
fishing courts, presided over by In
dian judges, to try offenders. He
made them partially sef-supporting
by teaching them the arts of peace
instead of war and paid them for
the work they did. And above all
else he proved to them that he was
one white man who didn't "speak
with a split tongue
AS a result Clum, within three
years, was ruling 5000 Of these In
dians, who had been regarded for
300 years as "untamable." without
the aid Of a single soldier. A physi-
clan and a commissary clerk were
the only other white men on the res
ervation.
Next he was given bigger job
that of capturing a party Of hostile
Apaches, led by the notorious Ge-
ronimo. With a selected party Of
his loyal Apaches, he marched 400
miles across the deserts and noun
tains of the Southwest, trapped Ge-
ronimo and his followers in New
Mexico, captured them without fir
ing a shot and marched them back
the whole 400 miles without sin
gle one escaping. This was the only
time Geronimo was ever forcibly
captured. Several times later he
voluntarily surrendered but John P.
Clum was the only man who ever
took him prisoner when he didn't
want to be captive.
Clum's career Of usefulness as
agent for the Apaches ended in 1877
when politics brought about crisis
which forced him to resign. He later
won fame as an editor and public
official in the town of Tombstone
but until his death in 1882 he was
proudest of the record he made when
he was Apache Agent"

assembled peers and peeresses
donned their coronets, drums and
trumpets sounded and the guns at
the Tower of London doomed. This
was the climax of the grand spec
tacle that had attracted many thou
sands Of persons to London and that
held the attention of the world for
a few hours.
First of the days events was the
procession to the abbey, which was
observed by vast throngs in the
streets, windows and stands. 1t was
two miles long The lord mayor Of
London, gorgeously clad and carry
ing the city mace, arrived first at
the annex built at the abbey en-
trance, and was followed closely by
the speaker Of the house of COM
mons, representatives of foreign
governments, the prime ministers
of the dominions and the princes
and princesses of royal blood. Next
came Queen Mary, and then King
George and Queen Elizabeth.
When all the fortunate ones en-
titled to places in the abbey had
taken their seats, the ceremony be-
gan with the ancient recognition"
ritual; the archbishop Of Canter-
bury presented the king to the peo-
pie, and four times the throng re-
sponded with God Save King
George" After the rite of corona
tion and the actual enforcement Of
the monarchs the doors Of the abbey
were thrown open. George and Eliz-
abeth, wearing their crowns and
carrying their scepters, stepped in
to their coach, and the second grand
procession made its slow way to
Buckingham palace.
