STANLEY DENIES IT
Didn't Promise to Put Simpson
on Railroad Court.
FOR NEW M. @. P. DEPOT
Judges Of Court of Visitation,
to be All Republicans

If the story is true that Governor Stan
ley agreed to appoint Jim Simpson on
the court of visitation on the promise that
The court viii order a new Missouri Pacific
depot for Wichita, the governor at least
deserves some praise for his active inter
est in behalf Of the city. When the gov
ernor was seen last night, however, he
denied that any such an arrangement had
been made.
Il had not heard the story" said Mr..
Stanley. such a thing has never oeen
mentioned to me. Jim Simpson cult the
race for a place on the railroad court
month ago and has not mentioned it 10
me since. His friends, though, are just
now making a hard fight for him. have
twenty-five or thirty names to consider Tor
the third place on that court but l do not
know who VIII be appointed. II I did
should 20 to Port Arthur Tuesday week
I do not know whom I shall appoint.
The only time a new depot for Wichita
has. been mentioned by me since my cleo
ton was a little talk I had with Colonel
Toe Richards. a Missouri Pacific attorney,
of Fort Scott. I told him his people ought
to give US a new depot here and station
facilities commensurate with the impor-
lance Of our city. But the matter Of
naming a judge of the court of visitation
was not mentioned at that time nor any
other as related to building a new depot
at Wichita or anywhere else
"WiH you appoint simpson,
Il do not know"
Twill any Of the judges be outside Of
the Republican party?"
Il think not. It is generally under
stood that Lit Crum and J. c. Postleth-
waite VIII be on the board. Who the
others will be cannot tell yet but I
think they will all be Republicans. The
Office is elective and Will soon be all Of
one party anyway, and for that reason I
think I shall name all three of them from
the Republican party"

NEW MEx1co's ANCIENT WORKS
bitches and Reservoirs Found Be-
meath Lava Beds,

Santa Fe, y. NJ, June l9.-Discoveries
were made recently in the lava beds of
New Mexico, some of which are situated
about eighteen miles west from here.
which prove that thousands of years ago
there existed in New Mexico system of
reservoirs. irrigation, and viaducts that
is unparalleled at this age. Under the
lava, which covers hundreds of square
miles. are found traces of cemented bitches
and reservoirs that are marvels of civil
engineering. Irrigation engineers have
much to learn from the people, older than
the Pueblo race. who inhabited New Mexico
when the race from which Columbus
sprang were still barbarians.
The ancients provided against seepage by
cementing the bottoms of their bitches
wherever they are conducted across loose
soils. Their bitches wound in and out at
the base of mountain ranges. following the
sinuousities of canyons and rounding
points in such a manner as to catch all
the storm water before il was absorbed by
the loose sands at the mountains base.
Reservoirs at convenient basins stored the
water. which was led in cemented bitches
across the loose soils to where it was need
ed for use.
Chasms were crossed by viaducts. and
wonderful engineering devices were used
for the removal of silt that might be used
as an aid TO the fertility of loose and rocky
soils otherwise valueless. Into some of the
bitches lava has run, showing their great
antiquity. Others are now covered with
shifting sands. but enough are still visible
in many places in New Mexico to enable
the skilled engineer to understand the sys-
TEN which prehistoric New Mexicans rem
dered so effective.

RELICS OF A VANISHED RACE.
Evidence That Mound Builders Once
Lived In the LndrOncs.

Victoria, B. c.. June 19.-Prof. Franz
Mueller of Munich. who has been identi-
fled with the management of large Ger
man investments in Samoa during the last
two years has made remarkable discov-
cry on two of the islands of the Ladrones
chain. the nearer and larger Of these be-
ing only ninety miles from San Ignacio de
Agana, capital of the group.
Prof. Mueller had noticed several Curl
Gus stone bowls in use by the natives in
his employ totally unlike their customary
utensils and was told they had been found
away.
Having occasion to pay this island visit
soon afterward. he was exploring numer-
Gus mounds. decidedly similar to those Of
Ohio and Central America, constructed in
regular geometrical figures. and each pos
sessing a great well. another characteristic
Of the American mounds.
Scores of ornaments, curiously carved
pipes. household utensils and implements
or weapons of stone, copper and mica were
unearthed and are now packed for ship
ment to German museums.
These souvenirs Of a vanished race are
very similar to the relics Of the Aztecs
and the ancient dwellers in the Mississippi
Valley. and Prof. Mueller's theory is that
the mound builders of America and the
Ladrones were kindred races. The natives
Of the South Sea Islands have nothing in
their legends or history regarding the
mounds or their builders.

Challenge to His NeighbOrs.
Philadelphia, June 19.-Much excitement
was created in the vicinity OF Forty sec
end and Thompson Streets shortly after
neon yesterday by the appearance OF a man
brandishing a knife on one of the porches.
Shouting at the top of his lungs the man
challenged the neighbors to combat. While
everyone who witnessed the scene kept
cut of reach. and those who were attracted
by the excitement Immediately lodged in
again. Officer Granger who was patrolling
his beat, made for the maddened man.
When the policeman attempted to place
him under arrest a fierce struggle ensued.
Sometimes the policeman was on top.
again it was the prisoner. Hundreds OF
people gathered on nearby porches. but no
one volunteered TO hep the policeman. Att
er several minutes Officer Granger managed
to handcuff his man, who was conveyed to
the Sixteenth district stationhouse.
Meanwhile it developed that the prison.
er had done damage inside the house be-
fore making his appearance on the porch.
While awaiting the patrol wagon Il woman
bleeding from long cash on the forehead
came from 426 Thompson Street. where
the excitement had arisen. She claimed
the prisoner as her husband. and asked the
officer for medical assistance. The woman
was conveyed inside again and DIR. S. Gray
Mattern, of 1915 Belmont Avenue. was sent
for. He attended the injured woman at
her home.
At the stationhouse the prisoner gave
the name of William Kennedy of 1925
Thompson Street. Mrs. Kennedy. when
seen, said that her husband struck her,
knocking her down, and causing her injury.

RAID ON AN EDUCATOR.
Chicago school Board Asked to Dis-

Chicago June 19.-In a scathing reso u
tion, adopted yesterday by the Federation
OF Labor the school board was asked TO
dismiss Superintendent Benjamin An
drews. The resolution denounced An
drews' policy in controlling the public
schools of Chicago as ''undemocratic, his
views, as published by the Denver Rocky
Mountain News" four months after his
appointment" were declared TO be of a
nature so abominable if put into practice
that they would revive the wickedness OF
ancient times, as described in the Old Tes-
lament, which destroyed ancient ciyiliza-
ton. and nations as we'll and condemned
his advice on the cessation of propagation
OF the lower order" as UNIV o: thy OF an
educator and immoral as a citizen.
Ever since the former president o. the
Brown University has been in Chicago he
has made himself obnoxious to all classes.
In speech to the teachers. he informed
them that they were n stupid set. ard
knew very little about teaching. Tbs
speech was published. and 1t is customary
daily for the pupils to inform the instruct
ors that they don't know waat they are
talking about and they have Superintend-
ent Andrews authority for it. Tne
schools are declared TO be in a state OF
decentralization.

RICH GIRL FOOLS THE POLICE.
Only Eighteen, Rat Lived High at
New York Hotels.

Only Eighteen, Hat Lived High nj
New York Hotels.
New York, June 19.-"Miss Richards, o
Richmond. Va" who was arrested fol
stealing clothing and jewelry from Mrs
w. c. Wooley. in the Hotel Gerard. was
arraigned In the police court yesterday
and her case was continued. AS a matter
of fact, she is Fannie Mcpherson, eight
cen years old, and resident Of Worcester
Mass, where her father is a banker
Chief Dsyery summed her up today thus
This country girl made some of our
sharpest hotelkeepers, and one or two OF
my men for that matter, look like thirty
cents"
Miss Mcpherson and her handbag came
here two weeks ago, and nothing short OF
suites of three rooms at the hotels would
do for her. Her trunks and horses were
always going to arrive in two or three
days, and many were her enquiries about
good stable accommodations for her sad
die pets. In the matter of individual
nourishment, she always ordered the cost
liest viands supplied by the house.
Worcester police records show that Fan
ny Mcpherson was arrested in 1897, when
only sixteen years old. charged with steal
ing clothing from the Hamilton Hotel.
She had run away from home. She was
sent to the Industrial School at Lancaster,
Mass, for eighteen months.
The girl imposed on many livery stable
keepers of Worcester. Her favorite plan
was TO telephone some stable and order a
team sent TO some house occupied by
prominent persons. Then she would hurry
to that house and obtain permission TO
rest in hall or parlor until her carriage
called. She was generally allowed to stay,
and when the carriage came she would
coolly walk out and drive off.
