FOLK LORE SOCIETY
TALKED OF TIL PAST
Entertaining Speeches on Early Arr
IONA History and Speculations Con-
corning Prehistoric Times.

The Arizona branch Of the American
Folklore society had n very inter-
esting meeting last evening at the
| Presbyterian church. It was more or
| less a miscellaneous program. The
/ first speaker Of the evening was Mr..
I Colder Of the Tempe Normal, who
I told of his visit among the Moki's and
the Snake dance. This was later sup
plemented by Hon. Z. r. Day. who had
been present a number of times at
that ceremony. Mr.. Day believes that
the bite of the rattlesnake of the MOki
region is not fatal. for he knew of sew
eral cases where persons bitten had
survived. Mr.. Days talk was exceed
ingly interesting and the society is
planning to have him give a talk on
the Navajos before he leaves.
Major A. J. DOran told some pion-
Ger incidents connected with the ruins
in this neighborhOod and in partic-
ular about a young Bostonian who
came out here in search of a pot of
gold which had been mysteriOusly re-
vealed TO him by some prehistoric
ghost
Mr.. Al DOYLE. the famous Flagstaff
guide, described the food Of the In
dams. especially the Apaches.
President J. H. McClintock gave an
instructive discussion on the prehis-
toric ruins. II needless to say that
few men in Salt River valley know as
much about the prehistoric Arizonians
as the colonel.
Another very learned speaker was
Mr. II. r. Patrick. who is making
study Of the sWastika. He briefly
went into the history Of that myste-
rious symbol and threw out sugges-
tons Of its possible meaning.
Contributions in the shape of le-
gends were read by Mrs. +. J. McCor-
mick. the secretary Of the society.
These will soon appear in the Jour
nal Of the society.
The next meeting will be held i'm
March. when it is hoped DR.. Fewkes.
now at Casa Grande. will speak.

FRENCH CABINET CRISIS.
Narrowly Avoided by Agreement Be-
tween Premier and BRAND.

Paris. Feb. 1s.-The threatened cab
met crisis has apparently been avoid
ed when the tension was almost at
the breaking point. by the reaching Of
an agreement between Premier Gle
menceau and Minister of Education
BRAND. Beyond the fact that the
ministry will present an unbroken
front to parliament nothing is known
of the compromise, though everything
indicates that the minister of educa-
ton has prevailed over his chief The
good offices OF President FaIlieres I'M
doubtedly played an important role
In preventing an open rupture
Notwithstanding the assurances that
the ministerial defenses have been
patched up. tomorrow's session of the
chamber of deputies IS likely to be a
stormy one and may bring forth SEN
satiOnal developments.
