FINDS PREHISTORIC CITY
Located i'm California Desert and Has
700 Houses and Paved Streets

Los Angeles, Cal.,-(SpeciaD-In
the San Jacinto Mountains, near the
edge of the Coachella Valley, b. p,
Bond of Long Beach has just made
Californias most important archaeo-
logical discovery, and one that will
be of worldwide interest. While ram
bling up from his desert land claim,
he found the ruins of a prehistoric
city containing from 700 TO 1000 well
preserved stone houses. Evidence Of
well-paved streets, strange earthen-
ware Of fine type scattered about and
the general aspect of the place shows
that 1t was no mean community. but
savored of civilization.
Bond arrived here today and after
comforting with Charles F. Lummis
and other scientists, arranged to place
accurate information concerning his
remarkable find before the Smithson-
ian Institute He already has assur-
ance by wire that an immediate and
thorough exploitation will be con-
Quoted from Washington and has been
asked in the meantime not to divulge
the exact location of the ruins, lest
relic-hunters and others strip them
of probable valuables. He states the
silent city lies within Is miles Of
Indio and not over five miles from the
old Los Angeles-Yuma road.

THE NORMALS GIVEN
ANOTHER CHANCE

Salem. Or, March 24.-At a meet
ing of the executive committee Of the
state board Of normal school regents
yesterday afternoon the time within
which money may be contributed for
the support Of the normal schools was
extended from Friday March IL, to
Friday March 26. This does not
mean that the state will be response
BILE for the support of the schools up
to that time.
The board has no authority to ex-
pend the states money for the sup
port of the normal schools after De-
cember 81. 1908.
The action Of the board yesterday
was taken so that the people in the
normal school vicinities might con-
tribute If they wished to the support
of the normal schools and have them
conducted as state institutions to the
end of the present semester, in order
to enable the members Of the pres
ent graduating classes to complete
the course required by the state.
President French was in attend
ance and made arrangements for the
OF the Weston school un-
til the end Of the year. Monmouth
has arrived at a similar agreement
with the state board Of regents and it
es expected funds will be forthcoming
from Ashland within a few days.

What Tax Means.
Per cent.

Annual incomes are defined as the
total net remaining to the person
from all sources. including business
profits. gains, rents, interests, divi-
dends. salaries, gifts. annuites. or
other proceeds from trade, profession
employment or occupation.
While the bill sets $500, 100000 as
the arbitrary estimate of the amount
to be "7olized, Congressman Hitchcock
believes that it is easily possible that
not more than half as much would
really be derived from that source.
Producing Revenue.
IT Is assured that the ways and
means committee will incorporate the
Inheritance in its scheme to produce
revenues. Debate only will add the
income tax to the plan. The supreme
court has once declared such a tax
unconstitutional. but it is the belief
of many of the proponents that II
would be declared lawful if properly
drawn Some congressional lawyers
express the opinion that the ultimate
of supreme court findings will he
found to be that the income and not
the inheritance tax will be the one
least repugnant to the nations or
ganlc law,
Every member of either branch Of
the congress. as well as all who have
been selected to assist Judge Taft to
administer the national executive de-
partment, is studying the revenue
situation with exceeding care, in order
that enough money may be provided

"a fleet Of "a battleships, each a
dreadnaught of $4,000 tons displace-
ment and equipped with IL 12-inch
guns, should be placed on the Pacific
coast as soon as 1t can be built" said
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans "All
the usual fleet auxilliaries such as
cruisers, torpedo boats and torpedo
boat destroyers also should be pro-
vided.

adequate to cover its territory The
thing for the western people to dc
Is to get drydocks and naval stations
on the coast In sufficient number tC
care for a large fleet and then get
the fleet.
Future Ship Is Dreadnought.
1.-THE new type of boat recently pro-
vided by congress, q boat of $4,000
tons displacement and carrying IL IL
inch guns aside from a number of five
inch, 55-caliber guns to repel torpedo
attack, Is now my choice until some
thing bigger can be built. 1t Is my
belief that in time the battleship Will
be q Dreadnought of about the same
displacement carrying 14-inch guns
and that the naval battles of the fu-
ture will be at an effective range Of
about six or six and a half miles.
"There are now 32 battleships and
two appropriated for, so to safely pro-
tect both coasts there should be a
fleet of at least 56 ships with all the
usual fleet auxilliaries. OF all the
battleships built thus far the Della
ware and Dakota recently launched,
are the best, though they are lighter
than believe will be the battleship
OF the future.
Submarines Not Practical.
Submarines and aeroplanes can
be placed in the same class, one is of
about as much practical value as the
other. They are at least of no value
now and, in my estimation, never
will be of any. as they are both inn
practical when it comes to actual
warfare, being fragile and hard toI
handle"

INTRODUCE NEW
TAXATION BILL

Washington, d. C.-(Special y
Congressman Hitchcock of Nebraska
has introduced bill for an income
tax, which sets forth the amount of
money which would be realized from
each state upon the basis of $500, ,00O,-
600 annually for the nation from that
source.
This measure has had Endorsement
by former President Roosevelt, and
hints in the past from President Taft
of support, although the latter ex-
presses preference for the Inheritance
tax, which he is expected to insist on
as part of the revenue raising sys-
TEN to make up for the growing de-
f!cit promising to approximate $780,
100000 within two or three years.
What Tax Means.
To produce the $S00,000,000 an
nually. the Hitchcock bill would i'm
pose on yearly incomes the following
per centages:
Incomes of $1,000 or less, exempted.

REAL ESTATE DEALER

EXPECTED THAT J. H. GAUT
WILL RECOVER
Foot Catches in Frog Just as Santa

Arm Amputated at
Hospital
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, July 9.-Physicians are
hopeful tonight that James H. Gaut
prominent realty operator who was
run down by a train this morning, WllI
recover. He is suffering from eoncus-
sion of the brain, loss of blood lhIlu-
ence of ether and general shock.
Mr.. Gaut was walking up the santa
Fe railway track at Chester avenue
this morning when he heard the over
land coming. Just at that moment ms
foot became wedged between the frog
and the main rail.
Wearing strap and buckle shoes, the
man was obliged to bend over and un-
buckle the stiff leather. He finally re
leased his foot, but not until just as
the train struck him.
The right foot was terribly twisted,
but not cut. Half of his right hand
was cut off, however, and he received
cut seven inches long over his right
eye.
Mr.. Gaut was taken on the train to
the station, and then in an express
wagon to Pasadena hospital practically
no attempt being made in this interval
to stop the flow of blood.
At the hospital DR.. u. T. Malaby am
putated the arm just below the elbow
but decided that the foot could prob
ably be saved Mr.. Gaut is reported to
be resting as comfortably as possible
this evening.
