DISCOVERS
ANCIENT
VILLAGE

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
CONCHISE, Ariz., Feb. 8.-A
prehistoric village, believed to
have been the home of a northern
branch of the Aztec nation, was
uncovered fourteen miles from
here, according to word from the
desert today.
The discovery was made by
Frank Erwin, engaged in digging
an irrigation ditch. Erwin came
upon a wall twenty feet long
bearing tablets covered with hero
glyphics.
Erwin notified the Smithsonian
institute of the find, and will
keep the ruin untouched until it
has been examined by the scien-
fists.

One day she was found dead in
her room. The folks of the under
world gossiped their suspicion that
she had been murdered because
she refused to longer support
her master.
But Katie's death may not be
without good for many other girls,
because 1t was her funeral that led
to the discovery of a great organ

and women.

S.-The volcano POas is in terrific
eruption today. Streams of Lava
are flowing through the fertile
valleys near the foot of the noun

ported to have been destroyed.
Natives Flee.
Inhabitants of the Poas dis
trict are deserting their homes
and fleeing toward the coast. A.
most every village between the
volcano and San Jose, the capital,
is reported to be deserted.
Many Lives Lost.
The village of La Lecheria al
ready has suffered severe dam
age, and loss of life there has
been great. At Cabadilla the
streets are covered with a coating
of ashes.
Rocks Hurled Two Miles.
Persons. from the district near
the mountain report that great
rocks weighing as much as 200
pounds have been hurled dis
tance of two miles from the base
of the mountain.
A party of scientists left San
Jose late this morning for the
stricken section. It's members ex-
pect to go as near as possible to
the mountain to take pbserva-
tions.
Poas lies inland about 100
miles, slightly northwest from

miles north of San Jose,. the capi-

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Feb. g.
Coroner F. A. Sawyer said today
that he was very strongly of the
opinion. that the girl murdered on
Mount Tamalpais last summer
was Miss E. Jensen of Denver, and
that he was practically convinced
that the Identification of clothes
and trinkets made by Mrs. Eleanor
Littlefield was correct.
+ THE only explanation of the
tragedy is that this girl, who was
a plain, simple sort of a young
woman, was taken up the noun
tain by a man whom Mrs. Little
field had seen her with" declared
the coroner, in a statement to the
United Press.
From all I could learn, there
is every reason to believe that. she
was the kind of girl who would
have resented any improper ad-
vance.

What VIII Taft Do?

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. g.
Taft is face to face
today with the question of wheth-
er he must turn his back to the
wall and fight it out to finish
with the big financial interests, as
well as with congress, i'm order TO
put through his legislative pro-
gram.
Have Made Threats.
1t is known that threats of a
panic have been intimated by fin
anciers and maguates who have
visited the White House this win
ter. The fear of the federal ia
corporation bill has been express
ed in no uncertain terms. But it
is believed here that Wall street
is most worried by the possibility
of the United States supreme
court upholding the Sherman an
ti-trust law in the cases of the
American Tobacco company and
the Standard Oil company.
There has been great abund-
anec of advice" and Counsel"
for the president from Wall street
this winter, every financier who
has visited the White House has
brought out the panic "buga-
boo"
Incorporation Bill.
President Taft's federal incor-
poration bill was referred to the
judiciary committee when it came
up for consideration i'm the senate
today. The introduction of this
measure yesterday was supposed
to have had strong influence IN
the weakness shown in the stock
market at New York.
Won't Press Measure.
The leaders today reiterated
statements that the measure was
not to be presented for passage At
this session, but that 1t is to be
given a careful investigation py O
committee In order to bring out
its various points and round 1t
into shape.
