st. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-Over half
OF European Russia Is in the grip OF
the striking railroad men, and the
strike continues to spread rapidly In
all directions. Roads In the Volga re.
gion are at standstill today and a
general strike was declared In the two
remaining lines running out of st. Pc.
tersburg. Before tomorrow the capital
Is expected to be cut off from the out
side world by way Of the continent.
This will also involve the suspension
of postal communication. The League
of leaguers has seized this opportunf.
ty to come to the support of the rail.
road men and has adopted a resolution
in favor Of general strike of all pro-
fessions. Telegraph operators are
joining the movement and 1t is feared
that all communication between inte-
rior points will be obliterated. Fac
tories in the affected districts have
been forced to shut down for lack of
fuel and Moscow, especially, faces not
only food but wa,er famine. The
social democrats believe that they

stiff fight will be put UP by the Sen
ators who have been opposed to the
Dill heretofore and it's chances in the
upper branch of Congress are doubt
full. The separate statehood idea for
New Mexico and Arizona has gained
strength in Congress and strong ef-
fort will be made by the friends of
the measure to put it through success
fully. The fight may become so earn
est and intense that both projects may
be defeated. The man who asserts at
this time that the joint statehood bill
is bound to pass does not understand
the situation. Its friends assert that
it has an excellent chance for doing
so, but those well posted do not insist
that this will be "a sure thing. The
joint statehood bill to be introduced
will contain some provisions most fav-
orable to the proposed new state of
Arizona and proviso that the
new state is to have five millions of
acres of public land for the purpose
of taking care Of the state debt; be-
ing the present territorial debts of
New Mexico and Arizona and the rail
road aid bonds issued by the counties
of Santa Fe and Grant in this Terri
tory, and by the counties of Pima and
Graham, in Arizona. Colonel Frost
met several congressman who thought
that neither a separate nor joint
statehood bill will be passed during
the coming session and that New Mex
leo and Arizona will remain territories
for two or three years longer and then
admitted as separate states. The sit
uation, however, is very much mixed
and people can draw their own conclu-
sions. Speaker Cannon still insists on
the passage of the joint statehood bill
and it is said that President Roose-
velt is friendly to this plan. There
seems to be such diversity of opin-
ion that nothing more definite can be
said at this time and until after the
meeting of Congress in December.

riers had covered their hands with
red clay and made an impression on
the overhanging rock above the

sands of these hand prints are plainly
visible.
In this section some of the princi-
pal pueblos have been named, and an
estimate of the population made, as
follows: Pueblo Bonito, 2,400; Pueblo
Alto, 2,4O0; Pueblo Arroyo, 100; Kin
be-ni-ole, 1000; Kin-chi-gin, 900; Pi-
nas-co banco, 1900 Chet.qui-kettle,
1900; Hunger-pava, 1900; Una-vida,
1900; Kin-kale, 1900. All these
ruins are located in the southeastern
corner of San Juan County, in COM
paratively small area of country. No
one now living knows when they
were vacated. The earliest Spanish
explorers make no mention OF them.
A few of the Navahoes have tradi-
tons concerning them, one of the
most interesting of these being as
follows:
About five miles east OF Pueblo
Bonito is a small circular mesa of
perhaps 200 feet in diameter and
about rs feet in height II is very
pretty mesa, with perpendicular
walls, and the varied colors of the
rocks OF which it is composed makes
striking appearance. The different
colored rocks are in layers, which
gives the mesa the appearance of
being belted with material of various
hues. The Navahoes say that in an

She is credited by the Navahoes with
having destroyed the people of the
Bonito Pueblo. 1t is said that she
would come out on top of the mesa
from her room below and convert
herself into the form of a most beau
tiful maiden and by stamping her
foot upon the ground would cause
the mesa to sink, so that 1t would be
on a level with the surrounding
country. She would then wend r.

Mrs. Heart, Arrested-Depu-
ties Have Sought Her
for Nine Months

After having outwitted the district
Mrs. Eurosia Gross, otherwise known
as Mrs. Heart, was arrested yesterday
afternoon on South Main street by
Deputy Sheriff Franklin on a charge of

At that time Mrs. Gross was known
as Mrs. Heart. j. w. Heart, the pro-
prietor of the lodging rouse, became
enraged during an argument one even
ing with Thomas Kearns, a lodger, over
his bill. AS a result of the quarrel,
Heart shot and killed Kearns, and in
his plea of self-defense called in the
assistance of the woman, who acted az
chief witness.
On the testimony Of Mrs. Heart,
Heart was let off with a comparatively
light sentence and is now serving a
twenty-year term in San Quentin.
So sure were the attorneys that the
woman had perjured herself that they
Immediately set about to find her, but

EGYPTIAN MERCHANT
PRAISES LOS ANGELES
Says City Is Near to IdeaI-Local
Women Are Much ADJ


LOS Angeles in every particular is
the nearest approach to the ideal, of
any city in the United States" said
Joseph Rodriguez, native merchant
Of Alexandria, Egypt, who is here for
a few days on pleasure tour. Mr..
Rodriguez is on a three months tour
OF this country and has visited all of
the large cities, and nearly every point
OF interest in the United States. At
the Angelus last evening he could not
find words to express his opinion of
Southern California, and particularly
Los Angeles.
This is my first tour of this country"
said Mr.. Rodriguez, but in a measure
l was prepared for the many pleasant
surprises that greeted me in this trip.
Being in the commercial line myself,
am particularly taken with the vast
ness of the resources of the country
and the business tact and enterprise
OF the Americans.
"Of all the cities in the United States
and Europe, Los Angeles stands among
the first in nearly every way, so far
as I am able to Judge. Los Angeles
women are very beautiful, as are all
the ladies of the country. Being a
single man I am free to make the
statement. I should like to live in
Southern California, especially here and
some day when retire from my busi-
ness of importing silk into Egypt,
maybe I shall come here to make my
home. America and the Americans
are certainly to my liking"
