HOOSIER HEADS PARTY TO SEEK | INDIAN SECRETS Taylor U, Professor to Direct Work in Kentucky Cave. By Times Special I UPLAND. Ind.. March 12.—Tribal secrets of the Cherokee Indians r.re expected to be revealed by an expedition headed by Professor John H. Furbay, head of the research departmnet of Taylor university here. The expedition will work in Kentucky during the summer. Possessed of facts and- ments which he says establish his confidence in the scientific value of hisenterprise, Prof. Furbay asserts a belief that the undertaking will bring forth a valuable contribution to American Indian historical data. £ Professor Furbay and his assistants w'll establish a camp in the Kentucky mountains and attempt the excavation of a lost cave, which is believed to contain documents and relics of the Cherokees which once inhabited the Blue Grass state

Left Treasure for War The treasure which is said to be in the cave was buried more than a century and a half ago by a Cherokee tribe which, according to Professor Furbay, was summoned by another Indian tribe in Michigan to aid in a tribal war. Before setting out for Michigan, the Irdians of Kentucky buried their treasure in a cave and were accompanied on their trek northward by squaws and children of the tribe. / During the war, the Kentucky tribesmen w'ere annihilated with the lone exception of one member, Tinder. He carried away from the scene of the massacre a map, drawn by his chief and giving instructions for locating the cave. Having hidden the mouth of the cave, the chief had made the map so that the tribe, on its return! might find the concealed recess. Tinder returned to Kentucky after many hardships and began his search for the cave. His hunt, however, proved fruitless and on his deathbed be bequeathed to an old settler who had befriended him during his fatal illness his sole possession, the chief’s map. The old settler was a Kentucky mountianeer, who gave the parchment, which was written in French, to a cousin, “Doc” Wayland, now aged and decrepit. He resides in Ohio. Believes Solution Nca* Wayland attached little importance to the document, but recently he showed it to a friend, who became interested and communicated with Professor Furbay. The professor conducted a preliminary expedition into the Kentucky mountains last month and on his return announced his belief he had discovered the key to the secret cave. Professor Furbay said that apparently soon after the departure oi the Kentucky tribesmen for Michigan a natural shift in the surface of the land in that vicinity had taken place and closed the mouth of the cave, but that subsequent rains had washed away much of the debris in the vicinity. Recently boys prowling about a cliff discovered the sealed cave. Professor Furbay and a companion braved the difficulties of February snows and flooded streams apd located the cave, which he assorted answers the description contained in the Indian chief’s document. The land is owned by an obscure mountaineer, who has leased all excavation rights to Professor Furbay and Taylor university.

9-YEAR-OLBS GO TO AID REBELS Six ‘Stout Fellas’ End Trip in Police Station. Bn United Press NEW YORK, March 12.—When the Mexican revolution broke out, six determined boys passed up the idea of going out west to kill Indians and decided to join the Mexican rebel forces instead. So. Monday, the boy's, ranging in age from 9 to 11, removed a large bagful of pennies they had saved, the capital to equip their expedition, and purchased four toy pistols, four pairs of goggles, three flashlights and three dirks. Then they set out from their homes in Staten Island for Mexico. But they had neglected to bring along a compass, and they soon found themselves slightly off course, due north in the Bronx. Here, one of the six deserted and headed back home. Early today, Policeman John A. O’Kane of Bronx, observed a queer behaving flashlight. He investigated and found five shivering boys huddled on a blanket. Later, the boys, Charles Popoff, Charles liramer, William Sihipson, Thomas Newhort and his brother Bernard, warmed by hot coffee, sat in the Bronx Park police station and told the story of their plans and adventures.

AMERICAN TO TRY TODAY FOR SPEEDRECORD Seeks to Better Mark Set by Segrave in Dash Monday. Bp Uifited Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.. March 12.—Lee Bible, now a fameless auto racer, this afternoon will climb into the low-hung seat of J. M. White’s Triplex speed car and attempt to achieve the lacking fame by beating the high mark set Monday by Major H. O. D. Segrave of 231.362 miles an hour. The Triplex, though holding the stage today, can not lessen the brilliance of Monday’s performance by the Golden Arrow with the Englishman Segrave at the wheel. Both White and Bible seem confident that with any sort of luck, their speedometer will hit the 250-mile-an-hour pace. Segrave’s racer, painted a flaming gold, with a fish-tail rear, was rolled onto the natural runway on the hard white sand, and the motor started the noise of the warmingup process was deafening. Mountain of Speed

At the slow pace for the highgeared machine, about 100 miles an hour, Segrave jogged it up the stretch, the engine droning with a peculiar overtone which set the nerves of the watchers on edge. Beneath the drone was the machine-gun-like fire of the exhaust. The tide dropped sufficiently and then both man and his “mountain of speed” got into real action. With the shining Atlantic for a background, the Englishman sent the Irving-Napier-built car blurring across the landscape. In the stand sat his wife, her eyes shut tight, a bottle of smelling salts in her hand. It seemed she had barely closed her eyes before the first half of the test w r as over. The sight was merely a road, a whining, decreasing drone, a blur of gold—and a sigh of relief. Pleased at Result The official dockers solemnly announced the time for the first mile with the wind behind Segrave’s back as at the rate of 231.51 miles an hour. Segrave, without knowing the first result, turned his car around, sent it bowling over the tablesmooth sand again, this time against the wind, and heard his record announced. It was the average time —the return being rated 231.21 miles per hour. He climbed from his seat beneath the cowling which hides him as he drives and from where he must watch the road through a special periscope, and ran to his wife. The driver, who before the dash said he reasoned had but one chance in ten of coming out of the test alive, easily showed his relief and pleasure at the results.

Slams Youth Right Down With Satchel He Tries to Grab. “They know now that if they stop me they have to battle.” Thus, Mrs. Elizabeth Glass, 1905 North Talbott street, • summed up her experience with a purse snatcher Monday as she was walking on Delaware street between Twentythird and Twenty-fourth streets. The thief, described by Mrs. Glass as being about 19 or 20, with light colored trousers, light brown coat and gray slouch hat, slipped up behind her and tried to snatch the satche. she carries in her work as deputv assessor. Mrs. Glass had too tight a grip on the bag, however, and the thief lost his nerve. Before he could run Mrs. Glass took a wide swing with the heavy bag and caught the would-be purse snatcher behind the ears with a hefty left swing. The boy was knocked down and immediately got up and ran, eventually getting away in the neighborhood of Twenty-fourth and Delaware streets.

March 12.—A gay wedding party was William Makiecki’s—gay for William and his bride Irene, but rather dull for Stanley Joriak. the best man.

ASSFMDLY HITS AT DRY FORCES IN MICHIGAN ‘Life-for-Pint’ Measure Is Defeated: Strike at Anti-Saloon Heads. BY ARTHUR K. SWEET Initeef Tress Staff Correspondent. * LANSING, Mich., March 12.— I The state senate Monday night decided that bootleggers shall not come under the life sentence provision of the criminal code while the house was administering two rebukes to the Rev. H. N. Holsaple, superintendent of the Michigan Anti-Saloon League and dry lobbyist. The senate killed the Cuthbcrtson bill, providing life terms for bootleggers. when it voted, 22 to 9, to refer the measure to the state affairs committee instead of to the hand-picked prohibition committee named by Lieutenant-Governor Dickinson, an ardent dry. Remove Law’s Clause Proponents of the Cuthbertson bill conceded it is doomed, likewise admitting that the administration, amendments to the criminal code, removing rum violations from the list of major felonies, will be passed in a landslide. Under these amendments fourth offenses listed as minor felonies will bring sentences of from 7’i to 15 years instead of life imprisonment. In the house a group which branded itself as ardently dry was circulating a petition addressed to Bishop Thomas Nicholson, president of the Anti-Saloon League at Detroit, protesting against the activities of Holsaple at the capital and claiming that he is doing more harm than good for the cause cf prohibition. Hit at Dry Lobbyist Added was a resolution by Representative Vincent Dacey which calls for a report on the activities of the dry lobbyist in seeking release of Jionald A. Perry, his brother-in-law, convicted on a charge of bootlegging, and sentenced to lona reformatory. The Dacey resolution set forth that Perry was three times convicted of “felonies under the law's df the state," and stated "it is contrary to public conscience and the interest of even distributive justice to advocate life for Mrs. Etta Mae Miller and liberty for Donald Perry and to urge members of this house to close forever prison gates behind the forlorn figure of on illiterate and impoverished mother and open them wide for his (Holsaple’s) relative.” SLEEP CAUSES CRASH Driver Can’t Keep Awake; Two Are Injured.
