MOHAVES’ PLEA IS TAKEN UP BY THE PRESIDENT Tribe Obtains Hearing on Order Forcing Them to Quit Lands. WATER, TIMBER SOUGHT WASHINGTON’, Julv 5. President Harding has agreed to personally pass upon the plea of the Mohave Apache Indians against being forced oft their rich reservation and on the desert. The Indiana feel this insures then 1 against what their spokesmen declare is an old scheme to deprive them of their homes in the Valley of the Verde in Arison#. under the guise of presenting them with an additional allotment in the Salt River reclamation district. The Verde River is one of the few clear water streams in Arizona. It never runs dry and the valley has been Jheir home since phehistoric times. The McDowell reservation where this tribe lives has been the target for attacks for years by those who want to get the water and the timber riches. The Tndlan Bureau was proceeding to put into effect an order which, while disclaiming any compulsory removal, was calculated to force them to the Salt River lands. The McDowell reservation was jjeelared to be only grazing land, and the Indians were to be permitted to use it only for that Actually these people have farmed it since before the dawn of history and before them the Aztecs, vestiges of whose irrigation ditches still remain. REACH PRESIDENT WITH THEIR PLEA. Secretary of the Interior Fall recently announced that he saw no reason for permitting hearings of the protests of the individual Indians. Insisting, as have all other, supporters of the project, that the whole thing was intended for the benefit of the Indians. Consequently, things looked pretty dark for the tribe until they reached the President with their plea that he appoint man in whom he had confidence to listen to their story. “No, sir,” the President is quoted to have replied to the spokesman for "the Apaches. “I will not appoint anybody to pass upon your matters. I will do :t myself." Persons they are afraid of are the Water-users Association on the Sait River irrigation project, and the city of Phoenix, which wonld like to have the Verde water for home use. Joseph Latimer, a Chicago attorney, representing church and other organizations, formed to protect the Indians, is in Washington conducting the flaht. When be was President, the late Theodore Roosevelt took an active Interest In seeing that the Indians, who number about 300, were secured In their rights on the Camp McDowell reservation. It" became their property partly as the result of an act of Congress and partly by an executive order. In 1310 Walter L. Fisher, then Secretary of the Interior, approved the Identical scheme that is now threatening the Indians. With the assistance of white friends, however, the McDowell dwellers succeeded in having an investigation made by the House Committee on Expenditures in the Interior Department. Latimer, who served as examining attorney for the committee, succeeded In getting a mass of papers from the Indian Bureau, ar.d the committee went to the bottom of the matter.

SECRETARY ADMITS HE WAS WRONG. Asa result Latimer was permitted to take up the matter personally with Secretary Fisher. When all the facts were laid before the Secretary he promptly acknowledge his error, having meanwhile had an investigation made on the ground by W. H. Rosecrans, a well-known irrigation engineer, with a view of determining whether a permanent irrigation could be built on the Camp McDowell reservation. Matter* ran along for a number of years in this status, no change being made until after the resignation of the late Franklin K. Lane as Secretary of the Interior. During the brief regime of John Barton Fayne as Secretary of the Interior, however, the forces which for many years had been endeavoring to dispossess the Indians became again active. Secretary Bayne had an order signed by former President Wilson on May 25. 1920, putting into effect the original scheme. Latimer declares in a brief which has been submitted to President Harding that this order was obtained secretly by the Indian Bureau, and never made public until it was accidentally discovered a year later. The land which it is proposed to allot the Mohave Apaches on Salt River is eleven miles from the'.r present home. While they would not. according to dec laratlons made In official letters, be compelled to move from Camp McDowell unless willing to go voluntarily, if they wanted to continue living there they must make a journey of twenty-two miles a day to cultivate five-acre tracts. SEEK RELEASE OF SCHOOLMASTER Many Former Pupils Join in Plea for Clemency. XICHOLASVILLE, Ky„ July s.—Active work by friends, relatives and former students of Prof. J. B. Threikeld. head of the Threikeld Select School for Boys here. Is under way in an effort to secure a pardon for the aped educator, who now is in the State Reformatory at Frankfort serving a iife sentence for the murder of Arthur Denman. N'icholasviJie business man and former student of the school. Professor Threikeld killed Denman in an altercation growing out of refusal of the merchant to buy tickets for football games from students of the school. Hundreds of persons in central Kentucky, scores of them former students of the well-known private school, have signed the petitions. Professor Threikeld was convicted by a jury of Mercer County men in the Jessamine Circuit Court on June 15. a motion for anew trial was denied, and instead of appealing, the ngren man—ne is 73—accepted the verdict and entered prison to spend at least eight years and possibly the remainder of his life, unless he is pardoned. Under the Kentucky law he Is eligible for parole at the end of eight years if his conduct has been good. According to both William H. Denman and Prof. Threikeld and his son. Logan, the controversy started in a telephone conversation about the purchase of football tickets in which the educator chided the dead man and his brother for not purchasing tickets. Logan Threikeld went to the store to pay a bill and his father followed. An alternation followed, Logan Threikeld and William Denman getting into a fight. Professor Threikeld claimed Arthur Denman started at him menacingly and that he fired in self-defense. William Denman denied that his brother threatened the professor and other witnesses testified that Arthur Denman did not say that if he had reached Piof. Threikeld he would h ive "crowned him.” One witness tes-t.-ied to this alleged statement.

TURNS LAUGH ON HIS CRITICS IN FT. WAYNE Self-Trained Dancer to Be First Aid to Chicago Ballet Master. Special to The Times. FT. WAYNE, Ind., July s.—Any one can do what he wills to do, according to Paul Bachelor, self-trained esthetic dancer, w-ho has Just signed a contract to b assistant ballet master of the Chicago Grand Opera Company. He developed his art in tht3 Hoosier city, whica appreciates esthetic dancing in the same degree as Pueblo welcomes water. Fcr several years young Bachelor has been trying to Interest t. W avne in classic arts, but even the “high-brows' have turned a deaf ear to his pleadings. On a few occssions he has been permitted to dance at exclnsive funetibns where no rabble might interrupt proceedings with an impish outburst but these epochs have been excessively Intermittent. However, the trail of adversity had a turning when Mary Garden came to town last fall. Bachelor sought an Interview with the mentor of the Chicago Grand Opera Company and gave a demonstration of his ability that moved the impersario to give him a chance. Last winter he was one of the ballet, but this fall he will return, elevated to a position of some importance and at a salary that is said to make a few local bank presidents ponder. FORMER CHICAGO CHOIR BOY. Paul Bachelor, barely ”3, Is a Chicago boy, although he has lived in this adverse atmosphere for art most of his life. When but 8 years of nge he was a choir boy at St. James Cathedral in Chicago, and lived at 5310 Indiana avenue. At that time he had one of the highest soprano voices in the country and for nearly three years was able to reach F above high C. For exercise the choir boy took dancing lessons of Andre Romero in the Auditorium building and under the old master he got his first incentive toward dancing. Later he took a few lessons from Vassllos Kanelos from the Royal Theater of Athens, who was then in Chicago. Shortly afterward his family moved to Ft. Wayne and the high priced lessons under the artists were at an end for some time. The lad did not give up his experiments on his toes for lack of instruction hut devoted his spare time to developing new steps. While the other beys of the school played baseball and basketball Bachelor was busy in his hack yard lumping and skipping to and fro planning the whirls and leaps that make a ballet dancer. SEEP FOREIGN DANCERS AT INDIANAPOLIS. Shortly after his graduation from high school, where his strange amusement was not easily understood, a chance came for him to sec Nizinsky who with the second Russian ballet to tour the country was appearing at the Murat Theater in Indianapolis. Young Bachelor persuaded his indulgent mother to advance him the money and went to view the foreign dancers. After the first performance he decided that here a ,nan who could show him what he wanted tc knew and straight awar the youth sought th#r.age door “What do you want here?" growled the grizzled guardian of the inner precincts. “I came to see Nizinsky,” began the young man. “He don't want to see you,” returned the doorkeeper as he blocked the way. Bachelor persisted, however. and gained an audience with the Russian The ballet leader was overjoyed to find someone in the II msler capital who was really interested in the ballet and willingly undertook to g've the recent high school student some lessons. Bachelor traveled to Columbus. Ohio, with the ; troupe and used tip his last cent buying instruction from the ballet master. The next year Bachelor began to take instruction from I'aviey and Oukralnsky and finally landed a job in a New York ballet.

Two-Thirds of Federal Aid Roads Built Said to Be of Earth, Sand and Gravel

WASHINGTON, July s.—Of the 22,030 miles of Federal aid roads which have bean built or are now under construction, more than two-thirds are earth roads, sand-clay, or gravel, says the chief of the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture. These have cost less than one-third of the total amount expended as compared with nearly CO per cent of the estimated cost, applied to 4,890 miles of hard-surfaced roads. A study of local conditions by an engineer of the bureau is necessary before a road project may receive Federal aid. The type of road to be used and the most sultatle surface with respect to the traffic of the locality must be determined. Service must be satisfactory, while cost must be kept low, both for building and maintenance. There must, be a careful! analysis both of the engiceerlng and economic conditions for each particular project. Ther are individual considerations as to the best type of road materials for that locality. ENOUGH ROADS TO ENCIRCLE GLOBE. The mileage of Federal aid roads which have been built or are now under construction Is nearly sufficient to encircle the globe. This is the record of work accomplished since July, 1916, when the Federal Government first stepped in to aid in the enormous task of building highways that are now called upon to carry more than 9,000.000 motor vehicles plus a very substantial horsedrawn traffic in the forty-eight States. The federal aid law is weH named. The Department of Agriculture has given the broadest possible construction to the law for the purpose of providing the greatest mileage of highways suited to the traffic to be carried over them at the minimum expense. An analysis by the Bureau of Public Roads of the projects under contract shows that all types of roads, from the graded earth road up to the finest paved surfaces, have been built. On March 1 of this year. 22,030 miles of highway, extending into every State, had been completed or were in process of construction, says the bureau, at a total estimated cost of $361.946.588. The percentage of this total estimated cost which will be incurred for each type, and the mileage of each type, based upon the records of plans approved, are as follows: Per cent of total estimated Milecost. age.

The States initiate the road project*, but before Federal aid is granted an engineer of the bureau makes an lnspeetiou of the roads to be Improved, studies the local condition*, consults with the State highway deportment, and no projects are approved which are not considered auited to the conditions to be met Many popular fallacies r*l.t a* to road improvement, and there have been many mtaconceptions as to the type# of roads on which Federal aid funds may

The ballet masters. Parley and Oukralnsky, watched their former pupil and noting hi* great progress recommended him for an as sislant, which place he wili fill this winter. Bachelor says seventy dancers will he used this winter by the Chicago Grand Opera ballet. He will train the new dancers and be responsible to his former mentors for the development of the en- , tire ballet.

be used. Properly built earth roads, say specialists of the department, are the fundamental requirement In all highway Improvement. Regardless of the material or type or surfacing which is to be placed, the preparation of the roadbed requires the highest engineering skill and experience. The department considers that the use of adequate sums for the securing of proper location, thorough drainage, permanent bridges and culverts, and the; elimination of railroad crossings is do- j manded if enduring Improvements are to result. Federal aid is allotted to the improvement of earth roads, but only with the stipulation that a suitable surfacing is placed, which is highly desirable from a construction viewpoint. To follow such a course, however, is out of the question when a road is heavily traveled and gome form of surfacing must be provided. To care for traffic under these conditions, frequently a sand-clay* or gravel surfacing is provided, which will serve for several years and yet allow the road to be maintained under reasonably heavy traffic. MANY KINDS OF ROAD SURFACE USED. Granting that the preparation of the roadbed has been properly done, many kinds of road surfaces will give excellent service. The element of time is iinpor.ant. There are so many miles of roads to be constructed, and their cost will be so enormous that the most careful and detailed study of each road project must be made to provide, at the lowest poss‘ le cost, roads which will give satlsf.' tory service and which can be main ta ned without undue depreciation under the traffic which is to use them. Many times the question has been asked the bureau, What type*of road is best? The answer is always the same j here is no one best kind or type of road surface. A recent statement issued by the of ficials of the bureau expresses this thought in the following language: “It is the policy of this bureau to consider the conditions of each individual Federal aid project as there are elements, such as sub-grade, drainage, and present and prospective traffic, which vitally affect the determination of the standards of construction to be used.” That is. there must he a 'areful analysis both of the engineer: nr. and economic conditions for .•ach particular case to determine the kinds of material# that can be used suceeessfully, ad after these facts are determined fieri the various types of construction which (n ! a used economically should be brought into competition to secure the best possible results. There hare been occcasionul attempts to write Into State laws or the governing conditions of bond issues a requirement as to the type or kind of roads to be constructed. To follow such a course would be most unfortunate. NO PARTICULAR TYPE RECOMMENDED. The cost must always be considered In determining the type of road surfaces which are selected, and the allowable cost must be determined by the traffic which is to be borne. I-ooal conditions vary to such an extent that very careful consideration must be given each project be fore determining the character of type or roads to be built. This principal was re eently exrresspd to a chamber of com merce asking for Information in the following language: "Types of highways shonld not be specified by law. This is a inafter to be decided by the State highway depart ment. In which should he lodged full authority both to construct and to maintain. Competition between different types < t material should be maintained and se! ectlon mkde to fit traffic requirements in each case. The bureau does not recommend any one type to exclusion of others.” MINISTER'S WORD FOR IT.

‘JURORS’ DECREE LIFE FOR OWLS AT WHITE HOUSE Findings Handed to Secretary of President Harding. WASHINGTON, July 5.—-The owls shall live. The John Burroughs Club jury appointed by President Harding when visiting the White House some time ago to consider the question says so, and the jury so reported in a memorandum filed by the youngsters with George B. Christian, Jr., the President’s secretary. The finding of the jury is based upon the club's investigation and upon hundreds of briefs filed with the American Forestry Association for the club from every section of the country. These briefs took up every phase of owl values as pest destroyers to their fabled Influence on the lives of human beings. Some of the writers called upon President Harding to get rid of the owls at once if there are any in the White House grounds and predicted all kinds of bed luck for his administration. The John Burroughs Club, however, considered only the economic value of the owls, for the question put to them by “Judge” Harding was in regard to birds that preyed on other birds being allowed to live. '1 he finding of the jury as filed at the Wtite House follows: “In spite of the fact that theae birds destroy others of tfieir own ilk, they have to their credit and in defense of their lives the fact that they are of much economic value and have certain other qualities in their favor. “We shall take, for instance, the crow, whose value in lessening the number of harmful Insects was so great that for a long time scientists working for the Government were unable to say whether his bad acts counterbalanced his good deeds. "Next we take the great horned owl, whose bad habits are well known, for even he kills rats, mice and other rodents "Finally, we come to the coopers and sharp-skinned haWks. who, especially the coopers hawk, have brought wrath and bate upon the heads of even the less destructive birds of prey of the try"But then can we convict a whole class of God’s creatu.es because a few have been known to slaughter tueir own kind? | Can that inexorable law of nature, 'the survival of the fittest,’ which has been since the world began broken by us who owe so much to it, even unto our very j existence? De we put a sentence of death upon all bears because a few have been known to eat domestic animals? We fill them If we know they are guilty, that's ail If we destroy the feathered murderer, we must also pass sentence upon the parasitic vine, which encircles ar.d saiis the life from the sturdy forest tree! “Nay, it is not for ns to do these things. If it were God's will they should perish, It would be unnecessary for us to pit our puny selves against the countless flocks o'er our Nation; therefore, we, the John Burroughs Club of Force School, wish to state to hla honor, the President of the United States, sitting as a Judge in this case, that these bird* shonld not die, but should be allowed to reuiuin alive in their native haunts, with no legislative sentence hanging, a dread menace, over their heads. “Signed: Harold V.

KANSAS LACKS RAILROAD CARS FOR ITS WHEAT Third Straight Summer That Farmers Meet Same Difficulty. HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 TOPEKA, Ixhn.,July s.—Kansas farmers are playing in hard luck on their wheat crop again. For three straight years they have gone into a bountifulharvest and then struck a snag when -t came to marketing the grain. By July 15 Kansas will be. facing a car shortage that is expected to be as severe as any the State has had. This is in spite of every effort made by the State to provide adequate transportation facilities and to see to it that the railroads hud plenty of cars for handling the lig load. In April the State public utilities commission called a* conference of the railroad managers of the six big wheat roads and asked what they were doing to provide empty cars in storage for the wheat movement. The railroads promised that they would have 21,000 empty cars suitable for grain loading on the sidings in this State by July 1. The railroads assert that they have been bitterly disappointed. By June 25 they have been able to store less than 6,000 cars and by the time the big movement of the wheat begins, around July 10, there will be considerably less than 10,000 empty ear* within the State.

MOST OF CARS IN BAD CONDITION. The railroad managers assert that the eause for this condition is the large number of bad order cars being returned to them. Every ear coming back to its owner from a foreign line seems to be in need of heavy repairs and the roads have been unable to make these repairs in time to store cars for the wheat. On May 15 there were 475.000 idle cars reported in the entire United States. Kansas railroad officials asserted that less than 175,000 of these idle cars were servvieeahle. The others were idle, but were in surh bad order that they bad to go to the shops. The six big Kansas roads show that 12 per cent of the cars they own are in repair shops. They have fewer cars this year than at the same time a year ago. The railroad service reports to the Kansas public utilities commission indicate that June 15 the roads had only 92 per cent of the cars they owned on their own lines, while a year ago they had 97 per cent of their cars. Everything urges the Kansas farmer to sell his wheat. The market has been on a decline for eiglit months. The terminal elevators are all empty. The Kansas mill elevators and shipping elevators are ail empty. The crop is big and the bankers are pressing the farmers for money and wheat is the ready money for Kansas. But when the farmers cannot

Kansas has the wheat, around 110,000,000 bushels of it, and the elevators and mills have the space, but there is no way to get the wheat and the space together.

On the promise of the railroads to! store 21,000 cars, Kansas bankers haste been counting. This would be sufficient to take care of the wheat loadings until about Aug. 5. By that time the early loads would have reached the terminal# and the empty cars be back in Kansas. The bankers announced some time ago that if the railroads were able to store the 21,000 cars, Kansas would liquidate $350,000,000 worth of farm paper .before Sept. 1. This would have been -t>f considerable financial aid to the banks throughout this section of the country and indirectly in other sections. If the wheat movement could be steady for four months, 50.000.000 bushels of wheat would have been marketed and that much additional farm credits cleaned up, and. the farmers would have money to buy things they need and some luxuries. It would help business all around in Kansas. But the railroads were unable to got sufficient cars and the farmers are facing as serious a car shortage as ever struck the State.
