commission to inquire into the North sea
incident, at Paris. yesterday afternoon. a
witness named Greens said that following
the cannonade he temporarily mistook
the Crane for a torpedo boat. and SO re-
marked to the engineer of his vessel. but
he soon detected his mistake. Counsel
for Russia asked how many others mis-
took the Crane forla torpedo boat. The
witness replied that he alone made the
mistake, being blinded by the search
lights. ss.lh
Smtrke, another witness. said he saw a
trawler attemptfngito cross the Russian
fire. Smirke's captain said: Look. It is
q torpedo boat."t Smlrke replied: mo. 1t
Is trawler." Theydwent to the vessels
assistance and took athe dead ana dying

Raxases Of "Pot Hunters"

For many years "pot-hunters." as they
are Familiarity called have been devastat-
ing the ruins and other remains of extinct
civilizations and races in the western ter
ritories in a most ruthless manner to OBJ
tain mummies, pottery and other articles
of antiquity for sale to museums and curio
dealers. This has been one Of the recog-
nized industries Of New Mexico, Arizona,
southern Utah, southern Colorado and
other parts of the southwest. In several
cities are large establishments filled with
that sort Of plumber Carloads are shipped
eastward every few weeks. Enormous
quantities have been sent to Europe and
sold The shelves Of public and private
museums In this and other countries have
been stocked with articles Of more or less
archaeological and chronological value
which have been picked up among the
ruins. Several big dealers send out expedi-
lions regularly to replenish their supplies
Parties Of college students and other anna
teur scientists make annual tours OF inves-
tigatien and have brought home vast
quantities of relics. And professional
archaeologists are constantly making exca-
yations and explorations for the purpose Of
securing collections and studying antiuui-
ties, without regard to the damage they do
or the interest of other students who INDY
enter the field for the same purpose here
after.
Enormous destruction has been done:
many important ruins Of prehistoric ages
have been entirely obliterated. Temples
lures which were In q fairly good state OF
preservation have been destroyed by dyna-
mite merely to obtain curios to sell In the
market. and 80 rapid has the devastation
been that unless something Is done. within
few years moro the greater part 81 the
