To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is pleasant to notice the increasing taste
for whatever pertains to early American his
tory and archaeology. Saturdays issue OF The
STAR contained no less than four distinc,
articles on recent discovery and monuments
connected with prehistoric America The
most important OF these concerns the mound
at Grave End. now Moundsville, W. Va. The
article refers to the threatened destruction OF
that most interesting and commanding monu-
ment OF early America in the upper Ohio val
ley. As the article is incomplete permit me to
say something concerning the mound. Grave
creek manned from the great tumulos and
surrounding smaller mounds), is an interest
ing locality on the Ohio river in Marshall
county. W. Va. Here Joseph Tomlinson. from
the upper Potomac, settled in 1910. He was
attracted by the fertile slluvial, comprising
about ZOO acres, and lying in q crescent
shaped plateau upon the beautiful Ohio. Here
he made his home, and here himself and scores
of his descendants lie buried
The extensive system of works constituting
the home of early man on the Ohio comprised
mounds, Recommendations, Arguments, &c.
Principal OF the system was the 'Mammoth
mound, SO called by early explorers This
conspicuous monument stands upon the second
terrace and rises to the height of nearly sew
enfy feet with base circumference Of $40
feet. 1t Ia the largest, most symmetrical and
interesting mound in the OHIO valley. This
mound and surrounding system OF earthworks
early attracted the attention of pioneers, ex-
plorers and scientists. In 1888 the proprietors
sought to examine and determine its true char
acter and contents. An excavation was made
at the northern base to the center-lIl feet
and . shaft carried from summit to drift.
These we're bricked. Many interesting DIS
coveries were made-twO separate chambers in
which had been deposited two bodies in the
lower and one In the upper, with q variety OF
personal ornaments and implements. The latter
constitutes interesting features, typifying the
progress of the race who built the mound. In
| the upper or later built chamber were found
copper ornaments, an inscribed stone
&c. The tablet is small, bearing twenty.
two characters and one topographic sign
This is the mound referred to in the article
you published as threatened with destruc t,on
In our utilitarian age thousands Of interesting
prehistoric monuments throughout the ives
/ and south have been consigned to irretrievabi,
| destruction. A spirit of vandalism has sweep
/ over the great valleys Of the west and effacet
| countless works Of ancient art and industry
| The sites Of Cincinnati, Columbus Circleyiiie
/ st. Louis and hundreds Of other places wer,
| once adorned with monuments Of early man
1t is a reproach to our civilization that thi
4 condition Of things should exist. 1t should b,
| checked at once. The West Virginia Historical
and Antiquarian Society is making an effort {,
save the Grave Creek mound. All who feel al
interest IN our prehistoric past should warml,
| support this movement and cordially respons
to the call OF the society. w. Deb.

what President Young says.


In regard to the statement that the officials
of tie New York Base Ball Club had received a
letter from Danny" Richardson. in which he
said II will play ball in New York or nowhere. &"
President Young Of the National Base Ball
League says: THE committee appointed at tho
late meeting of the league to apportion the diff
ferent players to the league clubs awarded
Richardson to Washington. This was done
for the reason that the new owners Of the Wash
ington club had personal contract with the
player for period OF three years. 1t matters
not where he plays or if he plays at all SO long
as nc has the consent of his employees. The
action of the spportionment committee ia final
and the only way for Richardson to play in New
York would be for tie owners of the Washing
ton Club to voluntarily release him. This il
q matter between the officials of the two clubs "
Can the New York club appeal the case to
the leagueY'
That am not prepared to say; the COM
mittee. as understand 1t. is clothed with full
power to dispose of players as il sees fit. A
precedent might he made if the league desired
to have the case brought before it for further
consideration and action. / do not believe,
however, that an appeal will be taken"
President Young denies that there was any
Understanding at Indianapolis that Danny
Richardson would be given to New York
If New York can appeal to theleague to over
rule the assignment made by Messrs Young
and Phelps in one case why cannot other clubs
do the same? II all clubs can appeal from the
decision Of the committee of what value is the

A special from San Antonio says: A SQUAD of
Texas rangers under Sergeant Robinson part
Of the forces operating in the vicinity Of
Poiitico Blanche rancho. ran across q party of
five or six strange Mexicans.' The Mexicanc
refused to hold communication with the
rangers and fed after firing volIey, The
rangers returned the fire, but all the Mexicans
escaped, though it is believed some of them
were hurt.
A Mexican prisoner in the custody of the
rangers throws some light on the case of Col
Hernandez, the Mexican officer under sentence
OF death at Monterey for alleged conspiracy
with Garza. The prisoner has hitherto refused
to talk. but being shown Spanish Newspaper
containing the account Of the sentence OF Her
nandez, became indignant at Diaz and the
Mexican government. He admitted having
been with Cara when the latter first crossed
the river and threatened Mier. He declared at
that time Garzas immediate strength was $50
men and that when Hernandez met then,
the latter had only fifty men; that il
would been madness for Hernandez to have
urged q battle with CARA, but Hernandez was
IN no wise connected with the revolution.
Tho prisoner believes Hernandez's sentence
was brought about by Gen. Cara, COM
mander OF the army in northern Mexico, for
personal reasons.
Capt. John G. Bourke, who commanded the
troops in the fight with the revolutionists at
Retinal, says the country is still full OF Gaxxss
followers in bands of four or i've, disguised
and II the troops were withdrawn the move
ment would undoubtedly start afresh.
