CO-ED FOUND SLAIN IN WILD APACHE LANDS ✓ Loses Life in Attempt to Learn Tribal Secrets J of Indians. YOUNG BRAVES HELD Squaws Are Suspected of Jealousy Murder by Arizona Deputy. By Vnitrrl Pretax WHITE RIVER, Ariz., July 25. Death by violence marked today the end of a dangerous trail over which a brilliant young Columbia university co-ed set out alone into the I wild country where live the descendants of Ocronimo, fiercest of a long line of Apache Indian chieftains. Her head battered and her throat bearing the marks of murderous fingers, the body of Miss Henrietta Schmerler, 25, was found Friday in a canyon seven miles from here. She had been missing seven days. On the ground about the body were marks which indicated that the eastern girl, who risked her life in a daring attempt to learn the tribal secrets of the Apaches, had fought valiantly against one or more assailants. Young Brave Is Held Claude Gilbert, a young Apache , brave with whom the girl last was seen, was arrested. Two other Apaches, whose names were not disclosed, also here held. Authorities insisted, however, that Gilbert was held for selling beer, rather than in connection with the slaying. An inquest into Miss Schmerler's ; death was ordered for today. The body, found by a posse of Indians, led by a white deputy j sheriff, George Woolford, was j brought to White Water late Fri- j day. It was a strange procession j that wound its way back to the i town through the rugged pine-clad hills between here and the canyon. In the advance were braves, marching single file along the trail. One led a horse, over the back of which the body of the girl was tied. More braves followed, with the white deputy at the end of the line. Keep Clews Secret Little was known here of Miss Schmerler except that three weeks ago she came from New York and, against the advice of persons better acquainted with the country, set out alone to live among the Indians to learn their habits and ways of living and, if pcsisble, the tribal secrets they have guarded since the days of Geronimo, the fierce old chief who led the massacre of an entire company of scouts and soldiers in 1872. If authorities had any clews to aid in a solution of the mystery they kept them secret. One theory discussed widely in the town was that Miss Schmerler might have been killed by a jealous Indian girl or by squaws who resented having a white woman come among them asking questions which they considered personal. It was said that Miss Schmerler had planned to attend a dance last Saturday night at Ft. Apache with young Gilbert -and that the last seen of her she was leaving the little log cabin in which she lived on the east fork of White river. Neither she nor Gilbert reached the fort. Studying Under Grant Gilbert was arrested Thursday when he returned home for the first time since Miss Schmerler’s disappearance. Authorities said then he denied any knowledge of the girl’s whereabouts. The posse of Indians started in search of her under an order from Governor W. P. Hunt, who received a plea for action from Frank D. Fackenthal, secretary of Columbia university, in New York. Miss Schmerler was conducting her studies under a grant from the university. J. B. Wheeler of Phoenix, assistant United States district attorney; sheriff L. B. Divilbess of Navajo county and a county physician were called to lead the investigation. They expected expert aid from Woolford, who has associated with the Apaches for many years. Woolford Indicated he considered seriously the theory’ that Miss Schmerler was killed by women. He said women of the tribe always are quick to resent the intrusion of whites, particularly when the visitors associate with the braves. Was Brilliant Student By United Press NEW YORK. July 25.—Henrietta Schmerler, Columbia university student whose body was found Friday on an Apache Indian reservation in Arizona, was known as one of the most brilliant students in the department of anthropology. Her father. Elias Schmerler, who lives at a hotel here, said he had received a letter from her a week ago, but that it contained nothing unusual. The girl had been living here with a sister. After her graduation from New York university in 1928 with a bachelor of science degree, Miss Schmerler entered Columbia to work for a doctor of philosophy degree in anthropology. Last June she was granted a summer fellowship entitling her to a field trip among the Indians of Arizona.

Nuns Lead Many Feeble Men and Women to Safety as Flames Rage Through Four-Story Structure. SCORES ARE TRAPPED IN ROOMS Blaze Bursts Through Roof of Pittsburgh Institution Before Discovery Is Made by Passersby. By United Press PITTSBURGH, July 25.—Fire raged through the fourstory brick building of the Little Sisters of the Poor home for the aged here Friday night and early today, burning to death twenty-eight of the helpless, aged inmates and injuring 175. It was feared many of the injured would die because of their ages. None is admitted to the charitable institution under 60 years. There were 106 men and 125 women inmates and sixteen nuns in the structure. Evening vespers had been said, lights turned out, and all occupants were in bed when the fire started in an areaway on the fourth floor. Flames burst through the roof and passersby gave the first warning alarm. There was no telephone in the building.

Helpless inmates on the fourth floor sounded the first alarm inside the building. They thumped on the floor with the canes kept beside their cots and awakened Mother Superior Agatha, head of the home. Mother Agatha groped her way through the hall, lighted only by the flames. She reached the first floor and rang the house fire alarm. The second alarm brought the nuns, who immediately started lining up those inmates able to walk, and led them to the fire escapes. Flames Only Light “They w r era so helpless,” Mother Agatha said in recounting her attempts to calm the women inmates. “There were no lights—only the horrid reflection of the flames. “As we went into the dormitories, some of them were panicky. We did everything possible to get them moving. They did pretty well, but every once in a while one broke from the lilies, wanting to go back for her shawl or for her slippers. “But that awful crackling of the flames brought them back.” “As soon as we got the women moving out, we went to the men’s dormitory.” Outside, arrival of the first fire department and the screams of the frightened and injured attracted hundreds of residents of the east end section. Six alarms brought all available fire apparatus.. The crowd grew to thousands. Break Gates Down Firemen broke down gates in the high brick wall surrounding the building and ran ladders up to the windows from which trapped men and women were calling for help. Passersby and firemen made their way into the building and brought out the dead and injured. Automobiles were commandered and within a few minutes nearby hospitals were filled with the victims. Many of the victims died en route to the hosiptals. The lawn in front of the home was turned into a first aid station, with doctors, nurses and nuns administering relief. Priests were called and administered the last rites of the church tc those still conscious. Edward McMenenin and Harold Lau-r were among the first rescuers to reach the building. Each was able to rescue three women before smoke drove them out of the building for the last time and firemen with smoke masks took over the task. Nan Aids Rescue “We saw people hanging out of windows crying for help. Some were coming down the fire escapes. We ran up a fire escape and reached the second floor,” Lauer said. “I grabbed one old woman. She was dressed only In her nightgown, and I carried her to the ground and made two other trips. “When I got out with the second woman, a nun was there helping. I don’t know how she got there, but she cried for us to go back and we did. “By that time more rescuers were coming and things were going along pretty good. Then the smoke got so thick we couldn’t see. It spread down the walls of the building. “Everything got confused and mixed up. “My buddy rescued three and then firemen wearing smoke masks took up the work.” J. W. Sherry climbed the fire escape to the third floor and helped
