FEED BABIES To
MAMMOTH SNAKE
STARTLING EVIDENCE FOUND
BY GRAND JURY
IL Is Believed That Indians of Pueblo
Of Zoe Give Infants to Reptile
Which They Consider
Sacred
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Oct. 1.-The
United States grand jury has unearthed
evidence which goes far to prove SEN
sational rumors which have been in
circulation for some time that the In
dians of the pueblo of Zoe, one of the
more isolated of the Pueblo tribes of
New Mexico, feed certain number of
new born infants each year to a man.
moth snake which is worShiped by the
tribe.
Great secrecy has been observed in
the investigation and the name of the
witness today could not be learned. 1t
is known, however, that he is a Catholic
missionary who has lived much with
the Indians and who has been admitted
to many of their sacred rites. His evi-
dence was almost conclusive that some
such horrible, human sacrifice is OBJ
served by the Indians of this Pueblo
tribe and that the interior department
will be asked to make a rigid investi-
cation.
All efforts to learn the name Of the
missionary have been unavailing, since
it is claimed his life would be endan-
gered should he return among the
Indians.
That certain of the more remote
Pueblo tribes still cling to their ancient
secret ries is well known and there has
always been some dim outline of the
story told to the grand jury in circula-
ton in the southwest. Heretofore little
credence has been given it.
Now enough is known to warrant an
immediate investigation by the govern
ment authorities. The story told the
grand jury is that this snake accounts
for the several mysterious decreases in
the birth rate of the several pueblos
from time to time in recent years which
have never been accounted for.
The sacred snake, which is said to be
of enormous size and of great age, was
first heard of in the pueblo of Santo
Domingo, a pueblo on the Santa Fe rail-
road north of Albuquerque, later 1T was
taken by the Jemez Indians, who were
paid heavy tribute for taking it. Inn
mediately afterward the birth rate in
the latter pueblo decreased alarmingly.
The Jemez Indians in turn paid the Zee
pueblo heavy tribute to take charge Of
the snake and it is agreed 1t is now
kept in that pueblo and that a large
per cent of the new born infants are
fed to 1t.
Amazing as the story seems 1t has
been sufficiently verified to cause the
grand jury to give it earnest attention
and to recommend an investigation.
1t is we'll known that at the time of
the Spanish invasion all of the Pueblo
Indians were snake worshipers and that
many of them made human sacrifices to
the snakes. The snake rites have grad
ually receded before the white man until
it is now only observed in the isolated
pueblo of the Hopi or Moki, and there
in less brutal form. How far the rites
are observed in the secret ceremonies
of the Indians is unknown. No white
man has as yet witnessed the rites per-
formed in the Estufas or secret council
chambers of the Moki, Zuni or even the
Laguna and Islet pueblos, which are
visited by tourists. 1t is expected that
a request will be made to send troops
to the Zoe pueblo to make thorough
search

ought to be resurrection for you. You
told me never fear'-youd carry me
through every strait by the very
strength of manhood-and you ran
away at the first clash of arms; would
have run sooner maybe if you had
known it was coming. You said you'd
stand by me in every peril, and then
you dropped me where the river was
deepest and the current strongest. You
said you would never shame me, and
you lied to me. You betrayed me q

After assuring the famous matadors

GIRL WHO FOUGHT DUEL
WITH ROBBER IS UNAFRAID
DISCUSSES INCIDENT WITHOUT
CONCERN
PIucky Miss Clare Mersch Says Shots
Fired at Her Did Not Friehten Her
as Much as the Discovery of a
Burglar in the Home

In spite of the unceasing efforts OF
Los Angeles police officers and detec-
tives the ungallant burglar who fired
a shot at pretty Glare Mersch of 20lS
Aubrey avenue Saturday morning as
she stood on the rear porch of her
home and drove the intruder from the
premises remains at large.
The burglar is said by the police to
be an old offender and robbing the
Mersch home was similar to many
other robberies of fashionable houses
of the western section of the city.
Several suspects have been arrested
and booked on suspicion, but all have
been released and the officers are at a
loss for clews.
AS for Miss Mersch she has very lit
tie to say on the subject of the shoot
ing. He was in the house and trying
to make away with several valuable
pieces of cut glass and L fired at him, "
she said yesterday.
How does it feel to be shot at? Oh,
1 don't exactly know. 1 didn't think
about that at the time. fired at him
and it seemed only natural that there
should be an answering flash, but 1
never thought about being hit until he
was out of sight. I didn't take much
of a chance, anyhow, because he was
running so fast and it was dark.
THE worst scare of this burglar
business is when you realize that a
burglar is actually in the house. My
first glimpse of him was as he stood in
the shadow of the curtains in the bed
room. My heart stood still as he
dashed across the hall and struck out
the light.
But after that the burglar ceased to
be a novelty and 1 wanted to send a
souvenir along with him. I always
have my revolver where I can get 1t
and 1t didn't take me long to follow up
the man.
He stopped in the yard for a mo-
ment and then started toward me. 1t
was only natural that 1 should press
the trigger and 1 wasn't surprised
when that answering shot came.
< Il suppose a girl stands about as
good a chance in tackling a burglar as
q man does" continued the pretty
young woman, as she put the heavy
handled revolver back in top bureau
drawer.

NEW YORK, Oct. THAT Nat C.

some time is one statement of the gos-
sip which followed Goodwin's scene
with Carter de Haven over Flora Par

day.

a friend of the Goodwins, while other
friends declared it idle, possibly ma

cheerful and happy by the company
of his wife," said another friend; and
another discussing the De Haven in
cident, said:
This episode with De Haven is not
looked upon by Miss Elliott as serious
at all. Scandal mongers and gossips
have been telling Of the separation be-
tween Miss Elliott and Goodwin all
along, and without any foundation"
De Haven himself attributes the
row to purely business reasons and
when seen he said:
'I almost had completed arrange
ments with a manager to take Miss
Parker into a company and Goodwin
resented my action because he wants
ner with his OWN company.
The scene in the theater is the one
theme of theatrical gossip today.
The sketch was impromptu, and, ac-
cording to Oscar Hammerstein, who
was in the audience, it would have
made him wealthy man had he been
able to advertise it.
De Haven, who Is appearing nightly
with Lulu Glaser at the Knickerbock-

theater and they occupied box ad
