ANCIENT RUINS OF ARIZONA TO
BE UNCOVERED.
Or. Fewkes Endeavoring to Discover a
Chapter from the Life Of Peo-
pie That Lived centu-
ries Ago.

The mystery of the Casa Grande
group of ruins in Pinal county, Ari-
noza bids fair to be solved, and sci
entists are expectant that what hith-
erto could only be guessed at concern
ing these relics of a prehistoric race
will at last be made clear DR.. Jesse
Walter Fewkes, the archaeologist, is
engaged in excavation work, and he
is confident that an American Pompeii
will be uncovered from the sands
which for centuries has enveloped
them as a shroud
The Casa Grande group of ruins has
been known and written about for up
ward of 200 years. They take their
name from the Casa Grande, the main
ruin. Castaneda, one of the chron-
iclers of Coronado's expedition into
Arizona in 1910, speaks of "a struc-
ture in ruins and without roof,
which by some is supposed to refer to
the Casa Grande. But the first au.
thentic account of the ruin is that
of the Jesuit Father Kino, who visit
ed it in 1894, and said mass within It's
crumbling walls.
Archaeologists who have inspected
the ruins of Casa Grande are of the
opinion that they are the remains oi
buildings erected by branch of the
Pueblo race, or some allied people, but
the investigation of single ruin IL
not sufficient for arriving at a, con
clusion regarding the builders OF the
prehistoric city. The probabilities are
that they were the ancestors of the
present Pima Indians, who inhabi
that part of Arizona where the ruin!
are.
A little excavating was done abou
the ruins in 1892, when importan
archaeological specimens were fount
and sent to the National museum a
Washington. Among them were ston
axes, pestles and hammers, bows
vases, shells and beads.
Up to the undertaking of the excava
tions now in progress little had beel

CASA GRANDE RUINS SECURE GREAT PRIZE
BROWN UNIVERSITY ENRICHED
BY "LI5RETTo" OF 1904.
Adds Valuable Literary Treasure 10
It's Already Priceless Collection of
Early American His
tory.

It Is only an ancient volume, yellow
with age and with leaves nibbled on
the edges by mice during its long pc
riod of seclusion, and yet II was a
treasure after which bibliophiles of
the world were madly rushing when
1t became known that It was in exist
ence and in the race for which Brown
university won only by a scratch. Up
to the time of the discovery of this
rare volume by the bookseller of Flor
ence, THE Libretto" in the San Marco
library in Venice was supposed to be
the only copy in existence. 1t was.
and is, important as a document be-
cause 1t contains practically all the
knowledge of the third voyage of
Christopher Columbus, in which the
great explorer first discovered the
South American continent and follow
ed its coastline for some hundreds of
miles. AS the only surviving copy, as
1t was believed, of work printed at
Venice in 1904 from material contain
ed in some letters by Peter Martyr,
one of the couriers in attendance on
the Spanish sovereign, it was valued
as few books are.
Not many months ago, however, a
photographer and bookseller of Flor
ence came upon an ancient volume
| bound in fragments of mediaeval
manuscript, with it's corners nibbled
away by mice. On examination of
it he found that it consisted in the
main OF seamans guide, printed at
Venice in 1490-such a one as Column
bus himself must have been familiar
with before he undertook his mem
orable voyage in 1892. Bound with
this "portolano," as it is called, was
according to fashion that was com
mon in the days of the Renaissance
perfect copy of the long sought
"Libretto" of 1904 From the copy il
| Venice the title page is missing; this
has it in perfect state Of preserva

Knowing that he had unearthed
treasure the bookseller forthwith com
municated by cable with the John Car
ter Brown library here, for he kney
that the library of Americana, or earl

ters, now connected with Brown un
versity, is the most complete co
lection of its kind in the world, an

A True Bore.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president Of
the University of California, talked at
dinner in San Francisco about
bores.
Your true bore" he said, must al
ways preface his remarks with some
lengthy dissertation, preferably of a
historic nature
Thus there was once a bore who
presided at banquet. When he rose
to begin the postprandial ceremonies,
he thought hazily that he would say
something appropriate and wise about
food SO he waved his hand over the
well-flled board and began:
Gentlemen, the practice-ahem-
the practice of eating meals is, we
have every reason to believe, one
whieh--ahem--one which dates back
10 the .Fe@0test antiquity"

done either to protect what remains
at Casa Grande or to discover other
remains. Congress, in March, 1889,
appropriated $4,000 for the repairing Of
the main ruin, which, owing to vandal-
ism of tourists and other causes, was
deteriorating, but the appropriation
was quite insufficient for the purpose.
Now, however, work seems to be go
ing on in earnest. Excavation of the
mounds and measures for the protec-
tion and preservation of the ruins al
ready uncovered were authorized by
congress.
Although the work of excavation
conducted by Dr. Fewkes has been go
ing on only short time, results of ex-
traordinary scientific value have been
obtained. New structures have been
uncovered, apparently better preserv-
ed and of a better style of architec-
ture than the old Caca Grande ruins,
DR.. Fewkes is enthusiastic about the
work. He states that he has brought
to light the existence of three walled
clusters of buildings or compounds
One Of the buildings already disclosed,
he says, is larger on the ground floor
than the Casa Grande already known
for so many years. The newly discov-
cred ruin has q fine floor, is well
plastered and has painted walls Dr.
Fewkes has also unearthed stone i'm
plements of various sorts, evidences
of burial ground. and other relics.
which may be of great value for de-
termining the ethnology of the race
which built the buried city about
Casa Grande.

tionably be wanted in Providence il
the means for its purchase were at
hand
The photographer judged wisely. A
message was hastily sent back to Flor
ence to accept the proposition that the
"Libretto" become at once the prop
erty of the John Carter Brown library,
the authorities of which have the am
bilious design of securing either a
copy or facsimile of everything print
ed in or about North or South Amer
lea from Columbus's discovery through
the year 1900. The cable message ar
rived in the nick of time, for a ru-
NOR of the discovery had got abroad,
and kilograms were pouring in from
lirbaries and individual collectors of
Europe The photographer in Flor
ence was soon after visited by a ia.
nous bookseller of Paris, who sought
to secure the treasure, and a little
later by a man from Brazil, owner of
one of the best South American H.
braries, who made the trip for the
express purpose of securing the book
if possible.
The incident illustrates the interna-
tional reputation which foresight ex-
tending over the last three-quarters of
a century has brought to the Brown
collection of books, either printed in
America or in Europe, about the
American colonies prior to the begin
ming of the nineteenth century. Be
gun as a private library by John Car
ter Brown, of the class of '16 at Brown
university, enlarged by his widow and
his sons, the late John Nicholas and
Harold Brown and recently be
queathed to Brown university, it has
a value which cannot be estimated in
terms of money, though Francis W.
Halsey, author of The Deluge of
Books, has asserted that If it were
put on sale, it would bring at auction
not less than a million dollars, and
probably more.
Nobody can write early American
history, with reference to original doc
uments, without visiting Providence.

HUGHES HtUJRRLLSS 4 R0MBSHELL
Demands New Appointment Act Be
Passed.
Defeat on Kelsey Question POrtend-
ed by Test Vote Taken in New
York State Assembly.

Albany. y. Y, May IAN hour after
the senate had given Gov Hughes a slap
by overwhelmingly defeating him to-day
in the first test vote on the Kelsey matter,
the executive retaliated by dropping d
bombshell into the "Old Guard" camp in
the legislature. The bOmbsheil was in
the nature of message 10 the legislature
calling upon it TO pass a reapportionment
act this session.
It is claimed the test vote portends a
defeat for the governor in his stand
on the Kelsey question.
This action by the governor, which was
unknown TO any one, is a distinct warn
ing to the "Old Guard of the Senate
that if they insist upon keeping Superin-
tendent Kelsey in Office they must give
up their gerrymandered district and go
before the people on "a plain and equal
footing with other candidates.
Gov. Hughes in his message recites the
constitutional provision for the Senate APP
portionment and the unconstitutionality
of the act passed last year. and quotes
from the decision Of the Court Of Appeals
as 20 the defects in the present law.
He also skaters the argument of the
Raines crowd. who, as an excuse for not
passing a reapportionment act, have ad-
vanced the theory that this legislature is
not constitutional one, and, therefore,
should not reapportion the State by de
cIaring that if the legislature cannot pass
a reapportonment act it cannot appro-
pirate the peoples money, nor perform
any other legislative acts.
THE people are entitled says the
message, TO have "a perfectly fair APP
porti0nment in accordance with the letter
and the spirit of the constitution. No
considerations are paramount to this just
requirement"
When the governor was asked later II
there was any particular reason for his
message being sent to the legislature to-
day. he laughed heartily, and replied;
The message, ] think, speaks for it
self"
