PUEBLO, Colo., Not. 16 (By
Associated Press.) Piatt May.
taciturn Indian brave, was cleared
of a charge of burying his 17-day-cld
son alive la the grave with its
mother when Federal Judge J.
Tonter Symes directed a verdict of
not guilty la the case here late
today. ,
It-was a double victory for the
Indian, for he had been caught bei
tween the law of the white man
and the law of the medicine man.
Now. the medicine man is in the
penitentiary serving a term of 25
to 30 years and the murder
charge against May is annnlled.-
Testimony showed that upon
the death of his bride, Molly Cut-
nair, the brave was ordered to
wrap the baby in the burial bias
Vet of its mother that they might
1e buried together.. The word of
' the medicine man was law; the
injunction of the white man
against taking human life also was
law, but there was no white, jnan
in the Ute camp to enforce the
law. May feared the medicine
man, according to the evidence,
'eared that he would be killed if
;- he'did not obey him. In addition
to that the medicine man. Mor
mon Joe, was his father-in-law
and the father of his dead bride.
May did as Mormon Joel direct
ed wrapped the baby In the bur
ial blanket, allowed the live infant
and the dead woman to lie on the J
Ute camp ground throughout an
entire cold February night, and'
the next day the bereaved husband
and father, the medicine man and
.another. Ute, interred the laden
blanket In a rude shallow grave.
The law of the medicine man
tad been carried out.
Then came the white man, Ed
Black, deputy superintendent of
the Ute reservation, which is in
southwest Colorado, and heard
the story. May came to him and
confessed. Black ordered him to
remain in the care of his mother.
while a long report went to E. E.
McKeen, Ute superintendent. . Af
ter a while more men came and
took May away. He was placed
under arrest and charged with
murder.
Today he went on trial. The
story of the strange burial was
told by McKeen, Black and Susan
Cuthcr, mother of the dead bride:
Joe Bishop, the third , Ute, who
helped with the burial, and Dr
Hi. . E. Johnson, who officiated
when the -bodies were exhumed
and examined. Throughout the
case May sat staring at the judge.
He did not know the defense at
torneys had been appointed by
Judge Symes to defend him., as It
was the duty of the government
to defend its ward as well as to
prosecute him. . , .'.
Dr. Johnson testified that the
baby was suffering from pneu
monia shortly before It was pre
pared for burial and that if any
cause of death could be discovered
from a post mortem examination.

Death by the Electric Chair
Is
the Only Possible Sentence
. Cnder Verdict
NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 16. (By
Associated Press). Jersey justice
lived up to its reputation for
swiftness and severity today when
Harrison W. Noel, 20 year old
Montclair youth, was convicted of
murder in the first degree with ho
recommendation of mercy, after
less than two hours deliberation
by a Jury.
Under the verdict there is no
sentence "possible but death in the
electric chair. Noel will be sen
tenced by Judge Edwin Caffree on
November 23.
Noel shot and killed Raymond

Mary Daly of Montclair from In
front of her home. He killed her
by shooting her twice in the head
and concealed her body in bushes
in a lonely- section of Passaic
county.
He was arrested three days after
the murder of Pierce and after 24
hours' grilling made a complete
confession of both crimes.
Noel had been an inmate of the
Essex county hospital for the in
sane at Overbrook. N. J., for sev
eral months prior to the crimes.
The defense in the case charged
the murder of Pierce to insanity.
The trial lasted five days.
Noel, standing in the prisoner's
dock, with his head inclined for
ward, shrank visibly as the words
were pronounced that wilUprob
ably send him to the electric chair.

Coolidge Declares He Will
Not Send Oregon Mem
ber's Name to Congress
CHANGES ARE EXPECTED
Conflict With Palmer Results in
Ouster; Farther Reorganiza
tion in Shipping Board
Is Hinted
Washington, Nov. 16. (By As
sociated Press. ) With the dis
closure today that President C.iol-
idge would not reappoint Bert E.
Haney, democrat of Oregon as a
commissioner of the Shipping
board, it became apparent that the
executive might seek other chang
es in its personnel and urge upon
congress legislation to divorce it
from the fleet corporation. The
president's decision with respect
to Mr. Haney was made known to
Senator McNary, republican, Ore-
hgon, a supporter ot tne commis
sioner.
All indications pointed to a
crystallization in the president's
mind of a merchant marine policy
with the cardinal point a one-man
control of the operation and liqui
dation of the government merch
ant fleet through the president of
the fleet corporation probably un
der cabinet or direct white house
supervision, In. , contrast to the
present policy of control by a
board selected with partisan and
regional considerations.
Mr. Haney is serving under a
reces3 appointment but his name
will not be sent to the senate
next month because of the position
he has taken in favor of the re
gional representation plan and his
opposition to the one-man control
idea, which was emphasized in his
successful fight to have Leigh C.
Palmer removed as president of
the fleet corporation.
In his course at that time Mr.
Haney came into conflict with Mr.
Coolidge, who favored retention
of Mr. Palmer. Requested by the
executive to resign, Mr. Haney re-;
fused on the ground that to do so
would imply an . admission of
breach of faith on his part, stating
that Mr. Coolidge had requested
the resignation because he was not
observing an "understanding"
reached when he was appointed to
support Mr. , Palmer.
Prominent in the fight on Mr.
Palmer and the one man control
plan Commissioners Plummer and
Benson, and there were indications
today that the president might
soon call lor their resignations.
Commissioner Thompson who also
stood with them, recently resigned.
Another mentioned among those
who might be asked to retire was
Chairman O'Connor who. although
not voting for the ousting of Mr.
Palmer, did vote for stripping

Stranger is Frightened Away Sat

Is Suspected
Two employes at the boys'
training school have been bother
ed at night during the past three
weeks it became known Monday.
Efforts are being made by L. M.
Gilbert, superintendent, to appre
hend the prowler or prowlers and
to ascertain if the attacks were
connected with an attempted es
cape or release of Inmates from
the institution.
M. E. Pears, night watchman.
reported Saturday night that he
had frightened a prowler away
from the rear of the building. He
was attracted by an unusual
noise.
On October 22, W. W. Craig, an
employe, was struck in the face
by a rock and was laid up in the
hospital for several days. Craig,
believing someone was signalling
to the boys, went around a corner
of a building and came upon a
man about 30 feet away. The
stranger hurled a rock at Craig,
striking him in the face and
knocking him unconscious. The
man disappeared before his dis
cription was obtained.
It is not known whether the
same prowler featured in both
visits but it is believed he was
attempting to aid one or more of
the inmates to escape.
Officials of the school are keep
ing a watchful eye upon an old
lumber mill near the school. The
mill is used as a camping place
by tramps.

facturer and purveyor of junk.
again asked the city to allow him
to construct a tire manufacturing

Alderman Fred A. Williams
asked that the city health officer,
Dr. W. B, Mott, be instructed to
submit a report to the city record
er of the cases now under quar
antine and of the diseases causing
the quarantine. He declared:
'I understand that recently a
member of the postoffice force was
quarantined, but not until he had
worked at the postoffice and had
walked the streets, exposing sev
eral persons. Let's fix the respon
sibility some way. I don't believe
this undue exposure is necessary
His motipn asking for the report
carried unanimously.
Alderman S. E. Purvine declar
ed that he believed it to be a good
reauirement. and suggested that
when the addresses of the cases
are obtained, that the police be
sent out to See that the quaran
tines are being maintained.
"I am glad to see the council
wake up," Mayor J. B. Giesy as
serted. "The council spends hours
up here wrangling on various or
dinances but seldom doing any
thing to entorea- them, urtU the
matter has como to be more or
less of a Joke in the city."
The courtesy of the floor was
extended t Mr. Steinbock, who
proceeded to disclose blue-print
plans of the building he is desir
ous of erecting for his tire man
ufacturing plant. The specifica
tions call for corrugated iron.
which . several of the councilmen
declare to be the material that
make for the worst fire traps in
the city. But Steinbock declared
he could not build with brick or
cement as the construction would
be too expensive for him, costing
$150,000, whereas he is planning
on putting only $25,000 into it.
"I started w?ithout anybody's
help, a factory that is one of Sa
lem's successes." Steinbock de
clared. "I want to make this tire
factory here. If the council re
fuses, then I will have to move
from Salem." The matter was re
ferred to the committee on fire
and water to see whether or not
the building will conform with the
fire regulations of the city.
Three petitions for street lights

Leonard Kip Rhinelander today
admitted he had. lost control of his
annulment suit against Alice Bea
trice Jones, hig negro wife; that
he had objected to the introduc
tion of her fervid love letters, and
that he had not been convinced
she was a. negress when he signed
the complaint against her.
His admissions came in the
course of a vigorous cross exam
ination at the hands of Lee Par
sons Davis, counsel for the defense
and at times caused audihle com
ment from : the spectators. The
cross. examination which had been
awaited eagerly by the court room
crowd, began this afternoon after
Isaac N. Mills, his counsel, had
finished reading the last of nearly
100 of Alice's love letters..
Almost immediately Mr. Davis
plunged into the question of the
complaint which, young Rhine-
lander signed while in a subway
tation telephone booth in New
York last November.
"Did you want to sign this com-
plaintT" he ascked. T"
Rhinelander. turned to Justice
Morschauser and asked:
Do I have to answer that ques
tion?" ' .
The. justice nodded, and Rhine
lander answered:
"I did."
"When did you finally become
convinced that your wife had col
ored blood?"
ITP to March, 1925, I was in
doubt whether she was of colored
blood."
Davis picked up the original
complaint dated in November,
1924, and read the paragraph
charging Alice with practicing
fraud as to her race
'Did you sign this?" he asked
'Yes." . '
'Was It true?"
Yes." .
"You understand that your two
answered questions are opposed
which is true, that you were not
convinced until March, 1925,' or
this contained in your complaint
to which yon swore?" p
"The one in March is true."
Several days ago young Rhine
lander testified that it was in
March that he was shown his
wife's birth certificate describing
her as "black "
Taking the question of Alice'
love letters, Mr. Davis brought the
announcement that they were used
without the complainant's permis
sion, although the witness later
confessed he was willing enough
to have them read it they could
be of benefit to his case.
Rhinelander said the letters
were in a trunk in his father'
house in' Forfylghth street.
"They disappeared without your
knowledge?" Mr. Davis said, re
ferring to that admission' made
several days ago by the witness
"Who took them?"
"Mr, Jacobs."
This answer referred to Leonard
R. Jacobs, one of the plalntif fi
counsel.
"Didn't you object to his taking
those confidential letters?
"In a way, I did."
"Did you object to the letters
being used In the trial?"
"I did."

"In September of this year."

knew they were to be used in the

HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 16. (By

the United States coast guard
steamer Morrill were drowned to
day near Shelburne, Nova Scotia.
They were returning to the Mor
rill in a 12 foot sail boat which
capsized in the storm lashed wat
ers of the harbor half a mile from
shore. 1
One of the men, Taylor, engi
neer second class, managed to
reach shore three hours after the
accident. ,
Taylor, the sole survivor, was In
an exhausted condition and hys

Steward II. K. Wilson, Seaman

other man whose name is sot
known here.
All the time the wind was car
rying the wreck ashore but at an
almost Imperceptible rata ot speed.
It was 6:30 o'clock when the ac
cident occurred and pitch dark.
No one witnessed lho" .'accident
from shore and the cries of the
victims did not carry far in the
gale that "was blowing' over the
harbor. -. - : wpi' ,p;'p Ppr.
At 9 o'clock the drifting craft

shore. Tavlor was the oalr one
of the ten men left. - ' ' ; .

nine companions and fearing his
own ability to retain his hold on
the boat until help reached him
he decided to strike out for land.

finally succeeded In reaching the
shore at Wooded Spot, Unable to
walk he cried out for help and
small boy living nearby heard him.
In a short time he was taken to
shelter and soon recovered. :',
Efforts then were made to at
tract the attention of the Morrill
with a Tlew to signalling the

Efforts were made to cut away
the rigging so that the craft might

men threw themselves on the side
of the craft, in -order to bring it

proved fatal as the boat swung
over and capsized before the men
could change their positions. AM

men were able to pull themselves
out of the water and cling to the
slippery keel. The upturned craft
was ' constantly ; washed by huge
waves. He also told of how others
of the men, too weak to pull
themselves up, dug to the edge ot
