Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1910-07-21

After fifteen months absence, exact
~ as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kali
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing. June IS, at II q. m. To the keen
disappointment Of a large group OF
newspaper correspondents. Mr.. Roose-
welt absolutely refused, as heretofore.
to be interviewed or to talk on politi-
cal subjects, but his rapid fire Of ques-
tons showed the same virile interest
In public affairs as before.
II the welcome rendered by the
vast throng may be considered q
criterion upon which to base IRE
turn from Elba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep-
tion-parade, nor in the wildly clamor-
GUS crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents Of the day in New
York were many, but perhaps none
better illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality Of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing. which he has
brought back to US, than the discard
ing Of horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles

TREASURE IS MYTH

the purchaser of q codex that he has
been humbugged. However, sometimes
a great deal of harm is done by an
INSCRIPTIONS man getting posses
sion Of a so-called codex. He is enter
prising enough to turn his purchase
to good account as far as he Is con-
cerned, but those who have been fool
ish enough to believe his plausible
stories will find that the Montezuma
treasure is no more than a fable-is,
in fact, a swindle. Probably no one
knows Mexico better than do Its ma
tives and nowhere are traditions and
the like better preserved. In view
of these facts It would be more than
strange that the Mexican should sell
information as to treasures when he
could lift the hoard himself"
Asked what he thought Of the codex
now said to be in the possession Of
an American by the name of T. A.
Kenyon. Mr.. Palafox expressed him
self to the effect that in all probable
ity It was no better than other docu-
ments of that kind, and that quite
often o socalled codex was well
enough executed to even deceive those
familiar with the subject.
"a great deal of harm has been
done to Mexican investment oppor-
tunities by ancient mine and hidden
treasure swindles," said Mr.. Palafox.
mo sane man should take any stock
in either. Mexico is well stocked with
Americans who do nothing else but
exploit their countrymen on the other
side Of the Rio Grande. This also
applies to some Of the rubber land and
colonization propositions. Americans
ready to invest money in the republic
should first put themselves in touch
with the Mexican government. Doing
this will save them money and disap-
pointment."

MERMAID is FRIGHTFUL SIGHT
Dusong, With Great Mouth and Big
Lips, Arrives From South
Africa In Tank.

New York.-A mermaid" in q tank
Of embalming fiuid arrived from South
Africa on the top deck of the Ameri-
can liner Philadelphia.
This mermaid" is known scientific
ally as a dugong Of the species
serenia. II is supposed to be a sur
vival Of the legend Of the sea that
gave rise to the belief that beautiful
creatures, half human and half ish.
appeared occasionally at the surface
of the water and tried to entice sailors
to follow them into the deep.
The specimen that arrived here was
hardly capable Of enticing anyone any
where, except In an opposite direction.
Il has q great mouth at the top Of its
head and big lips Immediately below.
The chest, however. has a suggestion
Of that Of a human being. and It n
said that even today the dugong is &C
customed to ride upright in the waters
and hold its offspring IN one Of fits flip
pers, as q woman would her child.
The mermaid" was caught In Della
goa bay, after q 14-hour struggle.
George Victor. who has fishing con-
csssions In Portuguese East Africa,
made the capture. He made every 81.
