ANCIENT ARIZONA VILLAGES.
Prehistoric Ruins Are Persistently
Looted Of Relics by Vandal
Tourists.

ArchaeolOgists are much per-
turbed by the persistent looting OF
the prehistoric towns of Arizona
by relic hunters and they lave
been stirred up to urge their pres
ervation by legislative action for
the benefit of students of ethnol-
ogy. Nandals digging in the ruins
find relics, which they dispose of,
and so distribute articles of great
value in throwing light on the pre-
historic Inhabitants beyond the
reach of ethnoiogists.
Among the groups which the
archaeolOgists are particularly
anxious to preserve in this way
are several between Flagstaff and
the Black falls, in the Little Col
orado River valley. These consist
of a citadel and buildings evident
ly devoted to a number of differ
ent purposes. The structures, as
a rule, are small, with low walls,
the largest not being more than
three stories high. The stones fit
closely together and show signs
of having been dressed into shape.
Apparently the rooms of the low
err stories were entered from the
roof and never from lateral doors.
When windows were present they
were mere lookOuts, or small, rec
tangular openings, which would
admit scanty light. The roofs, APP
parently, were fiat.
The most Impressive of the
masses of aboriginal masonry in
this region is about five miles due
west from Black Falls and 40 from
Flagstaff. The mine stands above
the plain and is visible for
many miles. From a distance
perched on a low, redstOne mesa,
the top of which is 10 feet above
the plain, it resembles an old cas-
tie. At its highest point this ruin
was evidently three stories high,
or at least had three rooms, one
above the other. The walls are
fine examples of primitive mason
ry, due care having been taken to
bind the corners and otherwise tie
the walls together.

wasting Of Fue, in England.

Prevention of waste is a matter
of perennial interest, especially
the waste of fuel, which is power.
In past times millions of tons of
small coal, drawn from British
mines, have been thrown away.
That shameful system is coming
to an end. A recent witness told
the royal commissioners who are
Investigating the question of Eng
lands coal supplies, that in the
north of England "there is not a
particle of coal, whether sound,
small, or whatever it may be,
which is not utilized in some form
or other" Unfortunately this
gratifying evidence is not true of
South Wales and some other dis
tricts, as will be found when the
commission makes its report

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 17.-Chaplain A.
II. Jessup, of Fort Madison peniten-
tiary gave expression to numerous
unique ideas of prison reform work
during the joint sessions of the state
board of control and institution heads
this week, but none more startling
than his declaration that When Grim
inals are sentenced to death they
should be hung Immediately.
Chaplain Jesseup takes this unique
position upon the ground of humanity
largely. He insists that it is a serious
mistake to allow the condemned pris-
oner to face the gallows for a year or
more. as now required by law and
practiced by the authorities, and he
believes its influence unfortunate,
morally and otherwise.
1.-THE theory of the years delay"
said Chaplain Jessup, in discussing his
position, lis that the convicted person
shall have that period in which to re-
pent his sins and make peace with his
creator. The theory is erroneous. |
believe that a great majority of those
who are sentenced to die OH the gall
lows might repent of their sins were
the time limit thirty days instead Of
365. But when the time is made d year
after the first realization that they
are confronted by the gibbet has sub
sided, condemned men are not likely to
spend their time in remorse and re-
pentance, but in reflection upon lost
opportunities of escape and the fornaa-
ton of lively sense of nlartyrdom.
They grow hard, and violent, often, and
the postponement of the execution has
been positively harmful rather than
beneficial"
There is too much politics in the
granting of paroles and pardons to
make the indeterminate sentence law
satisfactory in Iowa and other states
that was the statement of Judge q.
S. Robinson, of the state board of con-
troll, in an address before that body.
Judge Robinson reviewed the legisla-
ton of many states along the line OF
indeterminate sentence laws and his
conclusion was that existing conditions
are not favorable to satisfactory trial
of the system.
