.TWO SONS OF
NAVAJO CHIEF
CONFESSCRIME
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Although the two sons
of the Navajo chief, Uatiltonny, are
in jail here, and one of them is said
by officers to have confessed to the
murder of the trader, Charles Hubbell,
at his post near Oraiba, March 23, of
ficials still are undecided as to
'whether the crime was committed in
Coconino or Navajo county.
When Hubbell was killed his trading
post was burned, presumably to hide
the deed, and surveyors now are on
the ground running lines to determine
in which county the trading post was
located, so that the question of who
shall conduct the prosecution may be
decided.
The two Indian brothers gave their
names as Adeltoni Blgue No. 1 and
Adeltoni Bigue No. 2, and for No. 1
the leaders of the tribe already have
put in a plea for clemency.
"He is a medicine man, and very
valuable to our people,” they say, but
medicine man or not, the authorities
declare that he must stand trial. No.
1 is 22 years old, and is said to have
taken the entire blame for shooting
Hubbell on his own shoulders, exon
erating his 19-year-old brother, No. 2.
The Adeltonis assert, according to
officers, that they had no thought
either of robbing or killing Hubbell
when they approached his post on thej
night of March 23. They say his dog'
bit one of them, an argument devel-l
oped, Hubbell fired two shots and then,
says No. 1, he killed Hubbell.
Following the shooting, Navajo
trackers trailed the brothers to a lair
in the mountains, and a sheriff’s posse
set out to capture them, but two In
dian policemen crossed the Little Col
orado, surprised the Adeltonis, and
then made them swim the freshet
swollen stream to the jail at Leupp,
the policeman swimming behind them
to make sure that no attempt at escape
was made.
CANADIAN ROAD RULES
CAUSE MUCH CONFUSION
WINNIPEG, May 6 (by Associated
Press).—Canadian automobllists have
obtain co-operation of associations in
America and other countries in the
campaign to internationalize road
rules. They believe peace and good
road projects will result in many
transcontinental tours and that a
standard code of rules will be needed.
British motorists who brought their
machines to Canada have had great
est difficulty in keeping on the right
hand side of the street, and Canadian
army officers who attempted to pilot
machines in London declare that the
left side rule kept them in a state bor
dering on mental collapse.
Aviators also are agitating for an
international conference to formulate
air rules as well as highway rules.

WORLD WORK
IS PROPOSED
BY BAPTISTS
DENVER, Colo., May 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—When the Northern
Baptist convention assembles here on
May 21 for a. week’s session, it will
have before it a proposal to place the
affairs of the denomination on a
strictly business basis with special
ists in charge of each branch of Bap
tist activities. A plan of financing by
a budget system with one nation-wide
campaign to raise money for the
year’s work also is to be suggested.
The plan is a revolution in church
mangements and national leaders in
the denomination already have shown
a divergence of opinion regarding it.
The efficinecy plan is a result of
work by the National Committee of
Northern Baptist Laymen appointed
at the last convention. It contem
plates the creation of a general promo
tion board of 140 members chosen
from each state and each national or
ganization in the denomination. This
board would meet once each year, to
consider the needs of all organiza
tions and to pass on their yearly bud
get of expenditures which would be
submitted to the board of promotion.
The subscription plan of finance is
one submitted by the Interchurch
Federation of New York city for a
subscription campaign similiar to the
United War Work Campaign, in
which thirty religious denominations
would participate. The money would
be apportioned among the denomina
tions on a basis of membership and
would go to carry on the world pro
gram of missions, reconstruction and
religious education.
Opposition already has appeared
to this plan and a convention fight on
the measure is freely predicted by
ministers who have followed develop
ments.
Ten thousand Baptist churches in
every state north of the Mason and
Dixon line are represented in the
Northern Baptist convention. The
local committee opened headquarters
in Denver in March to begin prepara
tions and every" available room in
hotels and private families has been
listed so that all the delegates may
find shelter.
Other important measures to come
before the convention are plans for
reconstruction work in devastated
Europe. Missionary leaders have
recommended assistance to churches
in Europe in rebuilding their houses
of worship. A great educational cam
paign in connection with foreign mis
sionary work also has been recom
mended, together with an elaobrate
educational plan in this country. It is
said that the church’s world program
will be on a far greater scale than
any previously attempted.
SHELL SHOCK VICTIMS
ARE SUBJECT TO RELAPSE
CHICAGO, May 6 (by Associated
Press).—Authorities in a number of
Central West cities have taken steps
to prevent motorcyclists and automo
bilists from driving with the mufflers
of their motors open. It is declared
that the sudden explosions have the
same effect as bursting shells and ma
chine gun fire on the shattered nerves
of returned soldiers who are suffering
from shell shock.
The authorities say that many gbell
shock victims who had virtually re
covered have had to return to hospi
tals as the result of the sudden ‘fpop
i
pop” of a motorcycle engine behind
them.
