hold, the one he tried On the anarchist
with such success, Is known to few
men outside professional wrestlers, but
it Is known to Parker who learned it
when he lived in Georgia. Born a
slave, freedom came to Parker when
he was only boy. but he continued
to live with and work for the whites.
BY diligence and determination to
learn he succeeded In obtaining ar
education.
1t was during the Charleston earth
quake that Parker's strangle hold
came in good stead. When the rob-
berry of the dead and the looting Of
wrecked houses began, he went from
Atlanta and offered his services as a
policeman In Charleston. The negroes
We're giving the MOST trouble, and
Parker, with his trehendous size and
strength, wrenched the neck of more
than one thief. He was more feared
than any other man who helped to
guard the stricken city.
A story Illustrating Parker's infu-
ence among other negroes was told by
his associates the other day. During
the race riots In New York in the sum-
mer of 1900 it was dangerous for a
negro to venture out on the west side
Of the city between Twenty-third and
Forty-second streets. The negroes
were panic stricken and many were
ready to commit violence. Parker adj
vised the negroes to keep cool and to
stay off the street and, above all
things, to keep out Of rows. His ad-
vice Is said to have been followed by
many men.

J. B, Parker, the negro waiter who
prevented the anarchist from firing a

York to be as fearless as he Is strong

ANCIENT ARIZONA RUINS.
Discovery of Remains Of = Civilized
People In the Mountains.

Ages ago the famous petrified forest
of Arizona was the home Of at least
four distinct groups Of people who at
taned comparatively high degree Of
civilization. says dispatch from, Adj
amana to the New York World. This
remarkable fact has just been estab.
lished by DR.. Walter Hough, of the
Smithsonian institution. who has ex-
cavated ruins probably 2,00Q'years old.
DR.. Hough said recently:
THE camps that We're found face
northeast and are rectangular. The
houses excavated are three stories
high. The masonry would do credit
to modern craftsmen. Many of the
stones are eight feet square. These
ancient people must have had facili-
ties for hosting.
THE many graves excavated showed
that interments We're deep. In one
cist. which was laid in gypsnm, were
found twelve pieces of new pottery,
some beads and other objects or or
~ well constructed. In front Of the
villages were shrines Of red granite
and petrified wood, and about them
were objects of shell and fine pieces
Of polished cha1cedony, which were
buried with the dead"
In the Apache reservation, near For.
estdale. the expedition discovered a
ruin covering seven acres. with dance
plaza OF one acre and an acropolis ITO
feet tn diameter, .flled with rooms.
The masonry was more massive than
that found tn any previously 1excavat.
ed. The acropolis was surrounded by
a circular stone wall two feet thick
and containing stones one yard long.
TWO feet wide and two feet thick.
Highly polished decorated pottery was
found. The examples Of coiled ware
are remarkable and have interior dec
orations. One fine bowl has decora-
ton representing a herdsman tending
a flock OF curious animals. Crocodile
