weight of which Ia supported by bands
around her waist-that soft portion of
the body that Is protected by no body

around this portion Of the body bands
which support the weight of numel'-
Gus and often heavy garments: The
answer is. by means of the corset
The garment forms bridge connect

that he may not figure in athletics at

SKELETONS ARE
A CENTURY OLD
Remains Found at Mount
Eden Are Those of Cali
fOrnia Digger Indians

lO16 Broadway. July 10.

1915 Broadway, July 10.
The mystery surrounding the discov-
cry of two 1uman skeletons beneath
Henry Crocker's saloon at Mount Eden
was cleared up this afternoon. when
DR.. Alfred Kroeber, instructor in the
department of anthropology at the
University Of California, who had sub
jected the bones to a searching exam
ination. testified that the skeletons
were undoubtedly those of California
Digger Indians.
DR.. Kroeber was called as an expert
at the Coroner's inquest held at Hay
wards by Justice of the Peace Charles
Prowse, who acted for Coroner Mehr-
mann. He said that from the condition
of the bones and the character of the
soil in which they were found he
judged the skeletons had been buried
at least $50 years.
The principal witness besides DR.
Kroeber and his assistant, Professor
Joseph Peterson, was William Gall the
assistant postmaster at Mount Eden,
who was the discoverer of the skele
tons. Gall testified that he had un-
earthed the bones while digging cell
lar under the saloon. After the dis
covery of the bones he had notified DR.
Kroeber, who sent Professor Peterson
to Mount Eden to investigate the find
After hearing the testimony the
Coroner's jury returned the following
verdict:
We, the jury, do find that the human bones
in question unearthed a Mount Eden
in said county OF Alameda. during the months
OF Nav and June. 1904 between five and
seven feel underground, and that the persons
OF whom said bones the remains were
Indians, who must have died at a time beyond
the memory OF man. said bones have been
buried at least one hundred and fifty years.

sioners issued a stern warning at a

not whisky was responsible for his
