C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 192 DYOTT GETS STORY OF INDIAN ASSAULT Pantomime Offers Clue to Fawcett’s Experience With Hostile Men. In the 12th installment of. Dyott’s story of his search for Col cetl. missing explorer. he tells of e fracting the Indians’ story of Fawcell's mirder and of his attempt to reach the scene of the tragedy. Comdr. I Fa BY G. M. DYOTT. Joao Climaco, my camrada compan- ion, was “all in” after his efforts in our trek for Fawcett's last camp. He could hardly walk and had to be helped with his pack. We arrived at the banks of the Kuluene, a fairly wide, smooth, running stream. ‘We pitched cur camp on a high bank | in some trees and while my companion retired to his hammock and kept guard I went te investigate the lie of the land. ~Standing in ons of the canoes belong- ing to the Kalapalos with Rapatzi and Aloique the latter motioned to the op- posite bank. “Would I like to see where Caraibas went?" he asked. I nodded assent. As we pushed off from thes shore I remembered my rifle. It was unwise to travel unarmed with a vulture like Aloique, so back I went to get it. On the further side of the river we struck out across some open, sandy ground in the center of which was a tree. Around the base of this tree the remnants of an Indian house still re- mained. The tres had been hacked about considerably with ki 's, but on one side & succession of cuts were visible. I pointed to the house and looking at Aloique I said: “Caraiba?” At the same time I laid my head in my hands and snored. In other words, “had Fawcett slept here?” Aloique nodded, and holding up the first finger of one hand, held the tip of it with his left. Fawcett had stopped one night in this place which at that time had been occupied by Indians. Aloique then procceded further afield and we came to a long neck of water reaching inland from the rives Here, among some dense bushes, were con- cealed two canoes which we were to use in our journey down river. the Cross Open Country. Satisfield that they were both in order, we proceeded to climb a very high bank,. threaded our way through an old Indian -plantation and crossed mor open country on the further side of which was dense forest. The faint patlway which we were following appeared within its somber shade. We stopped and Aloique broke the silence, ! He pointed due east and sai “Caraiba. Puc, puc, puc—— At the same time he moved his hands ::ack and forth to imitate a man walk- ng. “Um!” he exclaimed in a lon drawn-out breath. He paused and locked Hbolt as it ttidget his bearings. i His brawny arm moved slowly over ' his head east to west. Ha placcd his head on his hands and snored. Then one brown fing-r was held up. [ “Um. Iti” Again his muscular arm have had a still more dramatic finale and ended my own career. Around the campfire’ that evening Joao Climaco and myself tried to get further particulars, but the only in- formation we got was that the Anauquas were good Indians and did not kill people. My own interpretation put on the story was that Aloique himself had not only done the killing, but had inten- tionally made the sign of the feathers so that his companions would not fol- low, and consequently he would not be called upon to divide the spoil with the rest of the tribe. Denies Knowledge of Trail. I suggested that we defer our de- parture a day or two and follow Faw- cett’s tracks, but Aloique excused him- self on the ground that he did not know the trail. Cabuzala and the two women he said vere the only people Fawcett took with him, and they went for only one day, while he, Aloique, had not been far- ther than the banks of the Kuluene. This latter statement was still another contradiction. The next morning we left in three canoes, all of which leaked badly. Mine had two large holes in it, one 6 inches in diameter, which we plugged up with a mixture of clay and fibrous roots. All day as I sat in that shallow saucer half full of water my thoughts turned to Fawcett and the tragic fate that had overtaken his splendid effort to penetrate this unknown country. His trail led east, yet here was I turn- ing northward, abandoning the final issue of my expedition. Plan after plan revolved in my mind. but there seemed little I could do. It was absurd even to think of going off by myself if no Indians would join me. My companions were down river, but even if I brought the entire party up stream I would be no better off. The upper Kuluene was not a healthy place for any one to camp who valued his! life. cided to join the rest of my party as agreed. Once scttled in a pleasant camp, where they could wait a month or more with the least possible risk, I could return up stream and by, some means or other persuade Indians to make that remaining five days' march to the eastward. When all was said and done. there was only one Indian who could take me to the fatal spot, and he was Aloique. Those small eyes had seen more than their owner admitted. Pro- vided I was continually on guard it would be all right to take him. Hence it was Aloique to whom I had to give my undivided attention. (Copyright. 1929. by North American Newspaper Alliance.)

ROME, February 7.—The seventh an- niversary of the election of Pope Pius XI to the throne of St. Peter was cele- brated at the Vatican yesterday. ‘Throughout the day, the palace pre- sented signs of unusual activity. Va- rious corps of troops comprising the miniature army attached to the Holy See—the Swiss Guards, the Palatine Guard, composed of representatives of Roman middle classes; the Pontifical Gendarmes and the Papal Fire Depart- ment—turned out in gala uniform for formations. The uniform in the case of the Swiss Guards was particularly striking, the yellow and blue scheme topped by the Vatican Observes Seventh Anniversary Of Election of Pius XI to Papal Throne antique helmets having been designed by Michaelangelo himself in the days of Pope Julius II. The pontifical banner, bearing the tiara or triple crown and the massive crossed keys of St. Peter below it, was run up in the courtyard of St. Damaso inside the Vatican walls, while the ban- ner of the Swiss Guard was hoisted outside the famous bronze door leading | into the apostolic palace. There will be no official ceremony of a commemorative nature until next Tuesday, February 12, however, when the coronation seven years ago will be remembered with the chanting of a| solemn high mass in St. Peter’s, the pontiff himself attending in full regalia.

MAKES PLEA FOR LAND OWNERSHIP FOR NEGRO Dr. Robert R. Moton Declares It Need Not Be Step of Philanthropy. By the Assoclated Press. HOUSTON, Tex., February 7.—A plea for land ownership for the Negro farm- er was made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala- bama, in an address prepared for de- livery before the Association of South- em ‘Agricultural Workers here yester- ay. Asserting he was asking no special consideration for the Negro, as the day | when that: was needed has passed, Dr. Moton suggested that special steps be undertaken by Federal and State Gov- ernments, or by private enterprise, to make it possible for any worthy farmer to acquire land on terms that “will not sentence him and his family to a life of drudgery.” Such a step, he said, need not be one of philanthropy M WORRIED, ANNA.
