LONG SEARCH ENDS
AE BUDDHA'S CAVE
Shrine Where Gautama Lived
and Preached Found After
Many Centuries.
By the Associated Press.
CALCUTTA. October 6.—A search
which has lasted hundreds of years has
at last resulted in the discovery of the
cave where it is believed Gautama Bud
dha lived and preached.
The cave is on Vulture's Peak in the
Rajgir hills, Bengal, and is one of a
dozen other caves which formed Bud
dhist hermitages 2,500 years ago.
This discovery, made by P. C. Chau
dhury of the Indian Civil Service, as
sisted by U. Kendinna, a Burmese
Buddhist monk, is said by him to con
firm the records of Chinese pilgrims of
the fourth and seventh centuries.
According to the sacred writings of
the Pali, it was from this cave that
some of the great sermons were
preached which formed the basis cf
Buddhist doctrines, and it was here
that the recalcitrant brother of the
Buddha attempted his murder by hurl
ing a great boulder at him as he sat
in contemplation on the western slope
Of the mountain below the cave.
A Gen. Cunningham, who followed
the trail of countless Chinese pilgrims
throughout India, already had identi
fied Vulture's Peak as the site of the ,
hermitage, but though he remained
unshaken in his belief that he had
found the legendary spot, he was un
able to locate the shrine itself.
The colony of caves, with its ar
rangements for a water supply, its
communications and places of assembly.
Is built up from natural caves in the
ancient Cyclopean style, in which great
blocks of unknown stone were fitted
together without the aid of cement or
mortar.
Chaudhury surmises that the name
of the peak is derived from the huge
gray rocks surrounding the mountain,
which resemble brooding vultures
against the background of rock and sky.
CONFESSED BOMB PLACER
CLAIMS CAREER ENDED
"Dynamite Pete'' Tells Chicago Po
lice Price Cutters Have Ruined
His "Business."'
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 6.—There's no
future in the bombing business in Chi
cago If Peter Cunniff, 53, known as
"Dynamite Pete," is correct in his
opinion.
Arrested for questioning in connection
with the recent bombing of the home
of Judge John P. McGoorty, he told
police he had placed more than 200
bombs during his "career," which he
had abandoned because he found he
"wasn't getting any place." He denied
any connection with the McGoorty
bombing.
"I'm not laying any more bombs." the
police quoted him as saying. · "Price
cutters will lay 'em for $50. Some of
them will do it for nothing. They're
like firebugs—enjoy the noise. They'll
lay them to keep in practice."
Pete said he didn't mind talking
about his "work" because the statute
of limitations had expired on all of his
reputed crimes.

tle as soon as they received their salary,
which is a year in arrears. All fathers
declared that the school could keep the
girls if it would take good care of them.
OKLAHOMA TO TRY
109 MINE PICKETERS
Conspiracy Charged in Violating
Injunction, in Case Open
ing Today.
By the Associated Press.
McALESTER, Okla., October 6 —
After a night in State's prison cells, 109
striking coal miners, arrested for picket
ing of the Little Bolen Mine in defiance
of a district court injunction, faced
prosecution today on felony charges of
conspiracy against the State.
James Springer, Gov. W. H. Murray's
special proeecutor, declared he Intended
to stop picketing in the McAlester min
ing district if it meant arresting all of
th eapproximately 2,000 workers.
The 109 were marched to the prison
last night by State operatives. They
carried an American flag and sang
"We're in the Army Now' and "The
Prisoner's Song." They were taken to
the prison because the county jail al
ready was filled with 32 pickets arrested
the previous day.
Several women were among the pick
ets, but none was arrested. Twenty
one youths were released after being
marched to the prison gates with the
others. Several bombings and minor
disturbances have marked the efforts oi
mine operators to produce coal with
non-union workmen.
The 1932 Levant Fair at Tel-Aviv,
Palestine, exceeded those of any other
year in attendance, displays and volume
of sales.
