several days ago in reply to the
communication of the doctor winch

eioouently sets forth the shortcomings
of his opponent as an archaeologlst,
and scores him for "disemboweling

DR.. Palmer yesterday passed the
buck back to MIR. Lummis by sendlng
a formidable array of charges against
the latter to President Chaffee OF the
board of directors of the museum and
10 president Koepfli of the Southwest
society of the Archaeological institute.
The doctor declares that Mr.. Lummis'
reports to the society are unreliable
that he has involved the organization
in debt that "he has debauched the
historic truth of the museum exhibits
and publications" and that he has
other faults.
Mr.. Lummis, in discussing DR.. Pal

doctor is a first-rate dentist, but seems
to think that about let's him out The
doctor quotes a number of letters in
support of his reputation as an
archaeologist, including one by Secre-
