The State produces wheat today

IS A LINK |
IN UNIQUE POLICE CHAIN
With the inauguration on Monday,
December 23, of the State Police
telephone typewriter service, Belle-
fonte and 94 other cities and towns
in Pnnsylvania were linked together
as units in one of the most perfectly
coordinated communication systems
in the world.
From main headquarters, located
in the capitol building at Harris-
burg, a message to the effect that
the service had been placed in oper-
ation was flashed to all points in the
State-wide police system. Distribu-
tion of the first routine messages
was begun an instant later, and thus
actual establishment of the system
had been completed.
The service represents the cumu-
lative achievement of the State Po-
lice, the Pennsylvania Police Chief's
Association and others, who for sev-
eral years have been cooperating in
the preparation of plans for the es-
tablishment of a communication
system to expedite the transmission
of vital information to assist in the
capture of criminals and the supres-
sion of crime,
The system, installed by the Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania,
represents the most extensive pro-
ject of its kind in the country. It
is served by more than 3400 miles of
telephone circuits.
Commenting on the service, Major
Lynn C. Adams, Superintendent of
the State Police, said:
“To obtain the maximum operating
efficiency, the State has been divided
into four zones, namely Harrisburg,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Wyom-
ing (Anthracite Section), with send-
ing and receiving machines at each
oint.
The central bureau, with respon-
sibility for the operation of the serv-
ice, has been establihed in State
Police Headquarter at Harrisburg,
where two combination sending and
receiving machines, and three addi-
tional receiving machines have been
installed. This bureau also serves as
great deal rangmit simultaneously messages to
the receiving stations within its di-
vison and also to the central bureau
at Harrisburg.
Likewise, the central bureau can
send messages to its own territory.
to the other zone headquarters, and,
when necessary, to all receiving sta-
tions in the State, In this way,
nearly 100 points can receive mes-
sages at the same time.
The sending machines are equip-
ped with a keyboard similar to that
of a standard typewriter. When they
are connected with receiving ma-
chines, any message typed by the

DENIED INDIANS.
Rolling back the pages of his-
tory 134 years, Attorney General
Hamilton Ward has just decided
the Cayuga Indians, now living on
a reservation near Grand River, |
Canada, cannot come back to New
York State.
The Cayugas claim that under
the treaty of 1795 they are the
lawful owners of hundreds of acres
of land valued at millions of dollars
in the central part of the State
near Cayuga Lake,
Four of the Cayuga chiefs
cently presented their claims
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
"“We no happy where we live
now and we want to come back
and live in this State or else have
State pay us for land we own un-
der, old. treaty,” ome of the chiefs
told Governor Roosevelt in broken
English.
The Governor turned the case
over to Attorney General Ward.
After a careful investigation of the
claims of the Cayugas, Ward an-
swered: :
«1 must answer on behalf of this
State that we deem accounts be-
tween you and us arising out of
the treaty you mentioned, to be
completely paid and settled.”
The Cayuga Indians, was explain-
ed, were bitterly opposed to the
signing of the treaty of 1795.

(Continued from page 6, Col. 4.)
Miguel will find peace.’
I wonder if he ever did. For it
was not written that any of us
should learn, although once it was
given me to look behind the veil
That came a year later, when the
power of Miguel and his desert
band was at its height.
Alone as usual, I had been riding
the foothill ranges and had stopped
to let my horse drink at a half-
dry buffalo wallow. My thoughts
must have been far away, for, as I
gathered in the reins, I found my-
self looking down at a ragged
Mexican covering me with an auto-
matic. Beside him stood a comrade.
The latter, with many apologies,
bound my wrists behind me.
From somewhere back in the
mesquite they led two horses and
together we headed south. An
hour's =zigzagging brought us to
the base of a limestone cliff where
two tents were pitched by a little
stream. The place had the air of
being a temporary camp. At an
order from the Mexican behind me
I dismounted and turned to look
into the blue eyes of my former
sheep herder.
Miguel stared in sudden astonish-
ment, then whipping out a knife
he cut the thongs at my wrists,
‘Senor, before Our Lady I am
sorry, Those men did not know.
You are not hurt?”
I rubbed my wrists. “Not hurt,
But you seek novel means of in-
viting guests.”
“I had no thought it would ever
be you, See, I am desolate that
this should be. But my men bring
in any horseman who rides the
desert hills. It is from them we
learn of the soldiers and sometimes
we hold them for ransom. But
Dios, that has nothing to do with
you who are my friend. See, you are

you.
The years had added strength to
his dark face, Also they had touch-
ed with suffering these perplexed
eyes. Yes. Perplexed still. But as
we talked I saw that life out here
had given him freedom and a half-
forgetfulness of his bruised youth
and of Lolita’s treachery.
I think, too, the memory of her
vanished radiance must have borne
him somber company, She must
have been in his thoughts always.
That last talk—I remember it al-
most word for word.
“There is freedom here,’ he had
said, “and I do not ask for more.
Always the world has taken from
me and I have no place in it. Once
life gave me a great love, but so
short a time—then it took that love
away. Freedom I have, but I have
bought that at a price, patron, and
when that is gone, Miguel is done.
Not overmuch do I love life and still
less do I understand its ways. They
are not my ways. But out here is
freedom and a kind of peace.”
So after all it was, perhaps, only
half-heartedly I performed my duty
to society by urging Miguel to re-
turn. I offered to make intercession
for him. “Not always can you live
this life of the hunted. Some day—"
“Si, si. Some day, patron, a lit-
tle Mexican soldier looks down his
rifle barrel. A bullet strikes, and so
Miguel is done. Perhaps, But if I
knew it would be a month from this
day, I should never return. Law

of strange old men over dusty books
and wise, cruel sayings, And at the
end long days where there is nei-
ther sunshine nor freedom—not
even a price.
“No, Senor, not while I remember
the grim walls of the prison near
Santa Fe. Out here I am the law
and IT have the sunshine and the
wind in my face. And the stars,
“How should I go back and for
what should I go back, Senor?
What is there for Miguel the “breed,”
in Verde? It is for the Miguels of
the world that the good God made
the desert. No, men have taken
away my youth, my trust—and Lo-
lita, too, they have taken. So I
have no truce to make with them,
or with men’s ways. And even if
they should offer me freedom, what
would freedom back there be worth?
“Jt was out here I. first learned
at Lolita’s lips how sweet life might
be even for me, Out here I can
forget to hate. And the memory of
bitter days is not so keen out here.

ed ‘into my mother's eyes.”
And so I departed: He rode with
me awhile. A silent:ride, for some-
how we knew, both of us, it was the
end. At the edge of the mesquite he
stopped.
“Often I think of you and of the
times we sat by my fire. I asked
you mally dark questions. It be-

“Adios, Senor.”
“Adios, Miguel.”
And just before a clump of mes-
quite hid him from me, he turned
and lifted his sombrero in farewell.
After that events moved swiftly.

of the line, a rancher was found
robbed and murdered. Now nei-

“Well?” I asked.
“Well, there was nothing yellow

laughed. “He held us single-handed

with a hail of lead and I rode up to
him. The smile was gone, but the
eyes had a look of surprise, a kind

be back in God’s country.”
Then he barked an order and the
column pounded by.
The padre’s eyes had sought the.
crucifix above the chapel door. With
fingers that trembled, the little man
of God traced the outline of the
Cross. -
“Pax,” he murmured brokenly.
“Pax.” ’
Yes, Peace to his life-weary soul.
