We continued to the Kuluene River, where we heard further news. T=e Galapalos Indians said that they had followed the explorer and found where the white men had been killed in the jungle. A string had been tied from one tree to another with yellow and black feathers hung on it as a sign not to follow. Beyond this was the scene of the killing. We confronted Alloique with this information, and he then said that the killing was done by the Suyas Indians, and that he had not gone beyond the Kuluene River. Alloique then continued to tell me how the Anafuqua Indians were good men. On reaching the Kuluene River he developed quite a bit of knowledge of the place and took me some distance to the east. pointing out where Col Fawcett had gone and the abandoned house where he had slept. Eventually he said he could not go farther be- cause of enemy tribes. We went back to the Kuluene River and descended it in an Indian canoe with the same men, joining up with my party once more where the Kuliseva and Kuluene united. On the way down I tried to get Alloique to open up, but he demanded presents, and I-had few with me, besides other Indians were coming with us to get presents alsew I told Alloique that I would give a rifle to the man who would show me the place where the white men had been killed. At once he said that he would show me their bones, some of which still remained. I made a bar- gain with.him to go- up the river again in a few days. : Surrounded ' by Indians.

LOS ANGELES, September 27.— Samuel Bolter, 82, credited with being the first actor to play the role of Uncle Tom in “Uncle Tom's Cabin” has an- swered the cue of death here, just as he answered his cues in old-time theaters in Chicago and Cincinnati more than half a century ago. For 22 years Mr. and Mrs. Bolter lived on a quiet street here with their memories, and entertained old-time troupers who visited Los Angeles, with songs and dances that went over big iin bygone days, for Mrs. Bolter, too, IEADERSHIP ~ Y DR Yy of W.

Abolition of Arabic Alphabet Opens New Field for Women. CONSTANTINOPLE (#).—The aboli- tion of the Arabic alphabet in Turkey and the adoption of the western ABC's has opened a new profession to Turkish ‘women, stenography. Arabic writing is a very efficient kind of shorthand in itself, most words being written without the vowels, and no other form of shorthand has existed in Turkey. The adoption of Western char- acters, however, necessitates the crea- tion of a Turkish stenographic and the education of pioneer stenographers. Red Smoke Haze on Alaskan Coast Is Believed Due to Voleanic Eruption By the Associated Press. KETCHIKAN, Alaska, September 27.—Appearance here of a peculiar red smoke haze has led to the belief that a nearby voleanic eruption may have caused the severe earth shocks recorded in both Eastern and Western United States last Saturday. The disturbance was believed to have centered off the Alaskan Coast. Since Sunday the sun has had the appear- ance of a red ball of fife and the moon has been nearly obscured by the red- dish haze. Surprise that no definite reports of an eruption had been received was ex- pressed by two steamship captains on their arrival here from the Alaskan Coast. Capt. J. S. Pitcher of the Prince of Wales and Capt. Gus Nord of the Aleutian were certain that the reddish veil was the result of volcanic disturbances. | No earth shocks were reported here and local inhabitants pointed out the eruption may have occurred on one of the manv bleak. uninhabited islands | off the Western Coast. s WOn In a year: Now Every Minute Sees Another GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR laced In Some American Home HE General Electric Refrigerator was first announced just fifteen months ago. At that time, these refrigerators were being placed in homes at the rate of one a day. Now they are going into American Homes at the im- pressive rate of one a minute, every day. A Nation-Wide Organization Has Been Created At the beginning of 1927, fourteen dealers handled the General Electric Re- frigerator. Today there are more than 5500. Where only 70 people were en- gaged, today there are 11,500. This swift but sound growth is a tribute to the newest product of the Research Laboratories of General Electric—a complete justification for the fifteen years of research and experiment which were put into the development of this “years ahead” refrigerator. Public Preference Has Been Won The miracle of general public acceptance, all in a year’s time, has come to pass— an acceptance which is keeping nine factories running at top speed. Thanks are due to the foresight of the electric light and power men of the nation who have brought electric service to eighteen million homes. They have made it possible for General Electric Refrigerators, in ever-growing numbers, to aid in reducing the annual seven hundred million dollar loss in food spoil- age in American homes.
