TIMBUCKTOO
MODERN UNDER
FRENCH REGIME
Paris, (LP) Since the French took
over control of Timbucktoo, once
upon a time regarded as more re-
mote even than the v;llds of Tibet,
the town has flourished and expand
ed until today It Is no longer a jun-
p)e laslcne.ss, but the Paris of West
Africa.
There are only a few white In
habitants, but. as with Frenchmen
hen they go abroad, they have
their cafe with its terrace on the
main boulevard, there Is a modem
hotel and even the native women
lollow the Paris styles.
In the old days, when the natives
lived In the shadow of tribal super
stitions, each bore a "totem" name,
but now the dusky folk are more
modern and call themselves Briand.
Poincare. Shell,- Gillette and other
names which they have picked up
from the newspapers that corne
from Paris on the weekly air-mail.
The mail is brought to the coast by
air then conveyed up the Nijjcr to
Timbucktoo.
Contrary to popular belief Tim
bucktoo Is not on the banks of the
Niner. It is seven miles away, sur
rounded by desert sands and is, In
fact, the last outpost of the Sahara
Desert. In addition to coal-black
Sudanese, its population consists of
the veiled Touaregs, Bedouins and
other Moors. The town has not the
rich commercial development of
nearby DJenne, whose famous Mos
que will be copied at the Paris Col
onial Exjilion in May.
Although it has made progress In
many ways. Timbucktoo is still
mahout gas or electricity. All light
ing Is by oil lamps which creates a
charming atmosphere when the
lights shine out on the desert from
the mud-walled native houses. At

HISTORIC HOTEL
TO BE RAZED BY
PENN. RAILWAY
Altoona, Pa., tlK The historic
Logan House, where governors of
the northern states met In confer
ence in 1662 to formulate plana for
maintenance of the union, la being
demolished to make room for a
more modern structure.
The hotel, where Presidents
Grant. Hayes, Taft and Wilson
were guests at different times and
where the family of Abraham Lin
coln spent several vacations, was
erected In 1853 by the Pennsylvania
railroad as a summer resort.
It was completed the same year
as the enterprising operators of the
railroad pushed their lines through
the wilderness westward to Pitts
bursh. At the time of Its erection It was
far out of proportion to the size of
the wilderness village In which it
stood. As Altoona expanded, the
spacious and well-appointed facil
ities of the hostelry found more
ample use.
In 1872 fire destroyed several
w Iiiks of the structure but the dam
aged section was restored.
Through the years, It became the
gathering place of state and na
tional leaders who held Important
conferences at which public policies
of grave Import were discussed and
formulated. The most famous of
these was the governors' conference
of 1862 which had a very Important
part in deciding the northern course
of the Civil war.

PLOTS AGAINST
CUBA TO CRISIS
Havana .V Cuba's critical polit
ical storm, which has raged for
nearly a year, shows few signs of
abating.
Foes of President Gerardo Macna
do have sought to unseat him and
while he has kept his large but dis
organized opposition at bay, scarce
ly a week passes but that some move
by his enemies gives him cause for
worry.
Economic troubles, due to the su
gar slump, have added to his dif
ficulties. The balance of power rests with
the army and thepresident Is bend
ing every effort to keep his 15,000
well-trained troops fatisi'ied.
The latest plot against Machado,
however, involved some of ths soldiers-.
A private on guard on the
roof of the presidential palace low
ered a bomb through a ventilator
with the intention of exploding it in
the presidential bath room. It failed,
however, to reach its mark.
Tiie opposition is centered in the
Nationalist Union, a political orpa-
nizarion heackd by two former pres
ident.1;, Menocal and Zayas.
It reached menacing strength last
fall, just before the November con
gressional elections, and threatened
to postpone the balloting until it
could get recognition as an official
party.
A month before the ballots were
to be cast, congress gave Machado
power to suspend the constitutional
articles which tuarantce freedom ,

not exercised, but the authorization
restored tranquillity and adminis
tration forces swept the polls.
The guarantees were, however,
suspended on November 13, when
there was a student outbreak in
which several were killed. Troops
stopped that disorder, and congress
then authorized extension of the
emergency powers of the president
for another 60 days.
On November 25 the cabinet tried
to quit, but Machado refused to ac
cept the resignations. Three das
later secret service police thwarted
an attempt to seize the national
arsenal. On Christmas Eve another
major plot was squelched.
Student difficulties caused all
higher schools in the islands to be
closed, and Machado next suppress
ed every newspaper of importance
in the country. Some of the editors
were deported.
As the 60 days suspension of
guarantees was about to expire, con
gress authorized the president to
continue the measure indefinitely,
and he put this into efftet on Feb
ruary 7.
