(By Cable to The Star afd Chleago Daily News. Copyright, 1922.) PARIS, December 23.—Curious de- tails of life in the Sshara desert quite at variance with most preconceived notions of that mysterious region are being flashed back to Paris by the ‘“caterpillar” ‘automoblle expedition which left Algeria recently for Tim- buctoo in an effort to establish a means of transportation speedier than the camel between the Mediterranean and the immense French colonial pos- sessions in West Africa. A raw win- ter wind from the north often mnkes the weather cold, even during the daytime, according to these reports, while at night the temperature is sald to descend below zero. At times there are changes from heat to cold in an hour. The Sahara territory does not ton- sist entirely of wasteland. In some districts there is luxuriant vegata- tion and in others there are plentiful crops of cactus and sage brush. LINDENFELD SAIL AWAYIN MY Veil of Secrecy CIoaks Trip of Alleged Red and His Silent Departure. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 28.—Wolfe Lindenfeld, alleged revolutionary agent, who was believed to hold the key to solution of the Wall street ex- plosion mystery. yesterday left the United States as a deportee on the steamship 1®thonia under clrcum- stances as mysterious as those which ! surrounded his arrival here a month ago from Poland in custody of agents | of the Department of Justice. ‘Why he came iiere, why he was sent | what light e shed upon the circum- rces which led up to the explosion ich rocked lower New York one oon hour nearly tienty-seven months ago were questions which officials of the Department of Justice and immi- gration were unwilling to answer. Lindenteld Silent. Deputy Commissioner of Immigra- tion Landis. at Ellis Island, said Lin- denfeld was denied entrance.on the ground that he was likely to become ta public charge. An officer of the Esthonia said Lin- jdenfeld was booked as a passenger for Warsaw, Poland, by way of Dan- zig. Lindenfeld himself refused to comment on his deportation. clinging to the protective cloak of mystery which had_surrounded him since his farrest in Warsaw a vear ago when he made a statement in connection with the Wall street tragedy. 1 Told Celorful Tales. While under arrest in the Polish | capital Lindenfeld told various color- { fal stories of widespread communist { plots and described what he alleged to be the story of the Wall street !h?a}L But_his revelations failed to lead to tangible evidencesand radicals {nailed him as a “faker” and “capital- ist” spy. In February when Folish police agents charged him with fraud {cables from Warsaw said he had re- jtracted his statement. He dlsap- peared from the limelight only to re- appear at Ellis Island. When he was held up at the im- migration station he began a hunger !s(rlke. which he kept up until de- portation proceedings were begun. |DEATH OPENS MYSTERY HOUSE, SEALED 40 YEARS Police Find Blind Woman, 82, Dy- i ing of Starvation Near Body | of 75-Year-Old Sister. 1 By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. December 25.—The itapping of a finger upon a window- ipane, in the “house of the two Isisters.” in the Bronx, vestérday called into the ramshackle house the first stranger to enter the doors in forty | years. The stranger. a police officer, found the body of an aged woman, !dend of starvation, and a blind sister, icalling for help by tapping on the pane. { The blind woman. Amelia Christen- {sen, eighty-two years old, was weak from malnutrition. Only a few po- tatoes and small quantity of milk and $3.75 in little packages were found in the dark interior of the house. Losinde Christensen, _the seventy-five-year-old sister, was dead upen a bed in another room. Residents of the neighborhood had shunned the house, known all about as “the house of the two sisters.” For forty vears no one had been seen te enter or leave it. A small lamp burning in the evening, and once, last summer, the strains of an organ, were the only signs of occupancy. Bovs playing yesterday first heard the tapping on the windowpane, and, frightened, called the police. The blind sister was found, crouching by the window, weak, and in a critical cendition. “Physicians said she would have died within a few hours had not the boys heard her tapping. In the midst of the desert is a large mountainous tract called Hogger, which is inhabited by a race of fierce nomads called Tuaregs. Only in the middle western part- toward the At- lantic ocean is a real waterless desert known as the “region of thirst” found to exist. French military posts connected by wireless were established before the war along all the main caravan routes. A handful of officers kept the country down during the war, de- spite attempts on the part of Turkey to arouse it. Ralding parties of loyal natives, under the directien of white men are now teaching respect for the French rule to the tribes along the Tripolitan and Rio de Oro frontiers. These tribes are still inclined to steal camels and rob poorly protected caravans that come their way. About half of the 1.500-mile journey has now been covered by the cater- pillar expedition. to the great sur- prise of the Arab inhabitants. to whom any kind of an automobile is entirely new. It has been found im- practicable to travel more than 100 miles at a stretch. Declares Atoms ster Than IN MYSIERY Swlftest Bullet CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 28. —Dr. W. D. Harkins of the Univer- sity of Chicago in a paper delivered vesterday before the American Physi- cal Society, a sectional meeting of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, said that. he, in collaboration with others, had ob- tained 10,000 photographs showing the tracks produced by atoms shoot- ing through the air at a speed 30.000 times faster than the swiftest rifle bullet. The paper declared that atoms, in- stead of being incapable of penetra- tlon, as was taught twenty Vears ago, “were highly penetrable to other atoms if they shot fast enough.™ PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION Pays 6 Per Cent on shares maturing in 43 or 83 months.
