REMAINS OF CULTURED
NEGRO EMPIRES FOUND.
Runic Signs Found In Unknown Ruins
In Sudan.

That powerful negro empires of
great size and some culture existed in
the Sudan before the white races en-
tered Africa is the conviction of a
French scientist NJ. Zeltner, who re-
ports in La Nature on the results Of
his archaeological Investigations in the
basins of the rivers Niger and Senegal
Within triangle formed by the
towns of Timbuktu, Hayes and Ba
mako he located fifty-two archaeologi-
cal deposits. consisting of ruins of un-
known cities.
NJ Xoltner's most interesting finds
We're made in caves on the upper Sen
egal. Here an abundance of runic
signs and drawings was found traced
on rocks. They were similar in char
acter to those discovered in South At
rican caverns. The writings have
some resemblance to those signs found
on ancient ruins farther eastward in
the Sahara desert and are believed
by NJ. Zeltner to be related to the pres
ent Tuareg alphabet.
The discoveries made have yet to be
thoroughly studied. NJ. Zeltner thinks
that the archaeological exploration of
the African continent is yet in its IN
fancy and will doubtless yield surpris-
ing results in establishing the ad-
vanccd state of development attained
by the black races in early times.

MILLIONAIRE WANTED TO
ENDOW DANCING COURSE.
Interpretative Style Needed In Settle
ment Work, Girl Says.

John D. Rockefeller. Mrs. Russell
Sage or even Il philanthropist of less
means has Il grand chance just now to
deliver Il blow to the 'hugging idea"
of the average youthful dancer, ac-
cording to Miss Edna Nil, the Chicago
interpretative dancer. Miss Neil wants
some rich person to eliminate the hug
ging dance by spreading the gospel
of classic rhythm.
Mr.. Rockefeller, she declares. would
do the fine arts service and over
turn the unaesthetic ideas Of modern
American youth if he would establish
intcrpretative classes at the University
of Chicago and other social settle
ments.
"Children and young people every
where would be benefited by getting
the interpretative idea" she said. AT
present they have too much of the
hugging idea. Interpretative dancing
brings out the spiritual side of life, and
that is reason enough why rich peo-
pie ought to help.
"Children have clumsiness born in
them. so why not teach them some
thing graceful? Good teachers Of in
terpretative dancing. knowledge of
the best music and good thoughts
would change the very minds of the
children"

Princess Mary. the only daughter of

lessons in Il quiet corner of Richmond

Therein she differs from her brother,

horseback riding. The young prince

If new peer desires to take his sur
name as his title he may do so. no
matter how many other living peers of
the same name there may be. Thus
Lord Russell Of Killowen was so ere
ated. although there was already an
Earl Russell.
There are now living three Lords
Boyle, Bruce, Douglass. Hay. Herbert
and Hill, four Lords Grey and five
Lords Howard and Hamilton. For
this reason. although there is already
Lord Villiers. no objection will be
raised by the king If Sir j. de villiers
chooses to become Lord Villiers.
Ownership Sometimes Necessary.
To choose a territorial title the peer
must show Il reason. as ownership Of
the land. A manor title cannot be
chosen unless the new peer owns the
manor itself. w. d. Mackenzie, who
owns the manor Of Thetford, prevent
ed. by protest, the comforting Of the
title Of Lord ThetfOrd on the subject
who is now Lord Fisher. Lord Michel
son bought the manor of Nicholson to
qualify for his title.
Where manor has been unfran-
chised or ownership Of manor town
split up the representative Of that
place in parliament has the right to
select the name for title.
Many recently created peers have
chosen the names Of London suburbs
as. for instance. Lord Battersea and
Lord WandswOrth. Lord Loreburn
took the name of street in Edin-
burgh. Lord Selby took his wife's sur
name.

years ago, he frankly proclaimed his
opposition to Cannonism and the
cOterie at Washinton who were in
control of the nation through means
that if not checked spells ruin. His
record in congress shows him to have
proved true to his platform pledges,
with the result that the third congress
siOnal district is now almost unani-
mously in favor of his elevation to
the senate. Mr.. Poindexter will ad.
dress meeting in the Grand theater
tonight, and should receive an atten-
tive hearing. Those who have been
reading the abuse of him in Candi-
date Wilson's paper, the Seattle P..I,
are especially urged to attend this
meeting.
1t is true we have democratic
candidate, Geo. F. Cotterill, who has
issued letter purporting to give
reasons why democrats should stick
to the party ticket and vote for him
at the primaries. But Geo. F. knows
he has absolutely no chance of cleo
ton, and parades that knowledge by
filing for the nomination for state
senator from King county. 1t is 4
condition of facts, not a sentimental
theory that confronts the democrat
in this state. He must either support
POindexter, Wilson or Burke in this
election or consent to remain voice
less in the selection of a United sen
ator
The same conditions confront him
regarding the selection of a congress-
man. This district is certain to be
represented in the next congress by
republican, and his name will be
either McCredie, Warburton or Clay
pool. The former is lined up with
the machine, Warburton is a progers-
sive republican, and Charley Claypocl
is a good fellow. Under the circum-
stances, the writer feels that he will
best perform his duties as a citizen
by supporting the progressive. Stan
ton Warburton, of Tacoma, although
he would be pleased to go down the
line for the democratic candidate,
Maurice LanghOrne, if there was a
ghost of a chance for his election.
In Chehalis county the only hope
of democrats since the organization
of the party in 1884, has been to oc-
casionally elect an official when the
dominant party candidate was partic-
ularly Objectionable, and, under the
old boss ridden convention system
there was no apparent remedy. I'm
der the primary law, the democrats
of the county have the power to COM
pei the nomination of the most wor-
thy candidates; to insure officials
who will be servants of the people,
not of timber holding corporations
and other tax dodgers. That is what
the county needs, and their political
belief has no more to do with their
fitness for Office than has the color
of their hair.
In taking this attitude, the writer
is advocating no political trick; no
law evasion or bad faith. He has no
intention of entering the republican
primaries to foist weak candidates on
the ticket with the intention OF de-
feating them with democrats in NO
vember. Neither does he mean that
participation in those primaries en-

WOMAN VALUABLE IN EANK.
Oregon Concern Finds New Method Is

One of the new departures in bank
ing methods is the bid that is made for
womens accounts. City banks have
had a department for women for some
time. but only lately have country
banks and trust companies taken hold
of the plan.
The woman's department of the
Portland Trust Company Of Oregon
was established something over three
years ago. 1t is really branch Of the
advertising or publicity work. proceed
ing upon the lines of populariZing the
bank and making it subject of con-
versation among the women of the
city.
A competent business woman is in
charge as superintendent of this de-
partment. Every accommodation and
courtesy is extended to women patrons
in the way of explaining matters of
business with which they are unfa
miliar. assisting them in the prepara
ton Of checks, drafts and other papers
when they open an account.
In addition to her duties in the bank
the superintendent makes frequent
calls upon women whose business it is
desirable to obtain and also extends
assistance to those who may need it.
IT, for example. one of the banks
clients or a stranger is i'll and desires
advice or assistance in the preparation
of any paper or in the handling of any
business the superintendent waits upon
her ut her home and spends as much
time rs may be necessary in aiding her
In this way some very desirable results
have been gained.

Stringent English Rules Make
Selection Hard Task.
SEVEN FACE PREDICAMENT.
None Below Earl Can Choose Name Of
County or County Town-Extinct
Nomenclature Cannot Be Revived
For Lesser Members Of Peerage
Either.

The seven new English peers put
on the birthday honor list by King
George are having trouble in picking
their titles. They may choose their
own titles unless they infringe on the
accepted rules; otherwise the crown
will, in diplomatic language, COM
mand the new peers to guess again.
The first rule is that after q title has
once been held by a member of the
royal family 1t will never afterward
be bestowed on subject not of the
blood royal.
The second rule is that no peer rank
ing below an earl can choose for his
title the name of county or a coun-
ty town. There are number of
counties vacant, including Flint,
Merioneth. Banff. Clackmannan, Dunn
barton, Kirkcudbright. Monaghan and
Roscommon.
Many Conditions Involved.
The next rule is that when a GER
tain designation once has been used
Tor peerage, even If that peerage has
long been extinct, the title will not be
renewed for a peerage Of lower de-
gree. 1t was not until Lord Hawkes.
bury, for instance had been raised to
an earldom that the designation of
Liverpool was revived.
Another rule is that where a former
peerage is in allegiance or under attain
der the title Of 1t shall not be chosen
for new creation, except by the heir,
because there is always the chance the
attainder may be reversed. Lord Leith
of Fyvie desired to be created Lord
Fyvie, but the old peerage Of that
name, now under attainder. stood in
the way.
