1T would require thirty years time and
an entire new population to put Galveston
back as it was one week ago. The city Is
a ruin. There are not ten men on the ISL

All the others are bankrupt There is prob
ably no insurance, and debts are large. The
people are not only bankrupt financially,
but they are bankrupt in courage. The
present population cannot be induced to
risk another such experience as this stcIm.

Some of the Results of His study of
the Moquis.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 15.-Prof.
Charles E. Beecher. Ph.D.. who succeeded
the late Prof. Othniel c. Marsh as head of
the archaeological department at Yale
University. has returned from Arizona,
whittier he went with party of post
graduate students late in July. The pur-
pose OF the expedition was to study the
Moqul Indians ethnologically. and to Sc
cure geological specimens of the region in
which they dwell. In both purposes the
expedition was successful. and Yale will
have a complete collection of geological
specimens. relies, and antiques to add to
the collections in Peabody Museum.
THE Moqui Indians are a remarkable
people, said Prof. Beecher today. They
are entirely self-supporting. They are ab
solutely moral; in fact, their moral stand
ard is as high as that of any religious COM
munity in the United States. They have
lived there for thousands OF years and
sincerely hope they viii never be contain
mated by white civilization. 1t would only
succeed in reducing them to a low moral
standard and they would become lazy and
criminal. They know nothing Of alcoholic
liquors and are strictly temperate and very
thrifty. Their religion is very compll-
Gated one, but Is best suited to their modes
OF living. Should civilization attack them
they would undoubtedly become sub iects
for missionaries. and after their conver-
sion would come to a deplopabe state"
