ANCIENT RUINS
At JEMEz
Prehistoric Treasures Exca.
vated by Hewett, Hodge
and Assistants
TWENTY VENETIAN BEADS
Painting Mission Churches $50
Years Older Than Oldest
in California.

Director Edgar L. Hewett of the
School of American Archaeology re-
turned this morning from the explor-
ations that are being made on the
plateau west of Jemez Springs, leav.
Ing the excavating camp in charge of
f. W. Hodge, chief of the Bureau of
American Ethnology. Mr.. Hewett re-
ports the expedition one of the most
productive yet undertaken by the
school. The site being excavated is
that OF Amoxiumqua on the rim of the
high mesa overlooking Jemez Hot
Springs, 1,500 feet above the canon
bed.
1t was large and important town
in prehistoric times and seems to have
been first abandoned about 1922 on ac-
count of the hostility of the Naya-
jos. 1t is known that in 1927, Fray
Martin de Arvide obtained permission
from the Father Custodian of New
Mexico, Alonzo de Benavidez, to at
tempt to gather the scattered people
again to their old home. The priest
was successful and Amoxiumqua was
rebuilt. 1t was again abandoned be-
fore 1880.
The excavations have already yield.
ed large quantity of museum materi.
al. pottery, stone and bone imple-
nents. The most important find. &C.
cording to DR.. Hewett, is that of a col.
lection of twenty-four Venetian beads,
in one of the graves, a sure evidence
Of Spanish influence.
The ruins consist OF two towns built
one upon the other, the older town
having been of considerably greater
extent than the later. Mr.. Hodge
will continue the excavations for some
time longer, assisted by Mr.. Chapman
and Mr.. Nathan Goldsmith.
A part of the work of the expedition
is the painting of the ruins of the old
Mission church Of San Diego by Mr..
Karl Fleischer. the young Austrian ar.
tist, now employed by the school to
paint for the museum in Santa Fe all
the old mission ruins of New Mexico.
The ruin at Jemez Hot Springs is one
OF the Oldest two on the soil of the
United States, with Pecos ante-dating
the Oldest California missions by over
$50 years. 1t was here at Jemez that
Fray Juan de Jesus Maria, one of the
first martyrs of the Pueblo rebellion
OF 1850, was killed. His remains. ex.
humed by DeVargas on the Sth of Aug.
ust, 1894, were found pierced by an
arrow and were brought for burial to
santa Fe. The painting of the ancient
missions of New Mexico for the muse
UNI by Mr.. Fleischer is another of the
mighty comnendable projects being
carried out through the generosity of
Mr. Frank Springer of Las Vegas.

PROBLEMS FOR
SUPREME COURT
Epochmaking Decisions Ex'
pected at Rapidly APP
reaching Session
TWENTY CASES ARE ADVANCED
Two Involve Extent of Powers
of Interstate Commerce
Commission.

(By Special Leased W1rc 10 Eew Mexican
Washington, D. c.. Sept. 19.-Many
intricate questions of interstate and in
tra-state commerce promise to perplex
the supreme court of the United
States during the first month of it's
approaching session. More than TWEEN.
ty cases involving such problems have
been advanced by the court for hear
ing as soon after the opening of the
term as possible, and the decisions
are awaited with concern among
transportation interests.
Two exceedinly hard fought orders
of the interstate commerce commits
sion will come up for review probably
within the first two weeks of the
term.
The extent of the powers exercised
by the commission is challenged in
both instances.
The first of these involved the So
called grain elevator case"
A long search of these cases Is ex-
pected to bring forth decision from
the supreme court on the much disput-
ed question as to whether the inter-
state commerce commission possesses
the power to prohibit railroads from
paying to operators of elevators all
compensation for "elevaIlng grain in
transit"
The commission issued orders en-
bracing such a prohibition.
The second order of the commission
to be questioned will be that providing
for the reduction of the rates on lum-
ber from northwestern states to cities
in the Mississippi Valley and east to
what they were before November 1,
1907.
In this case is involved the point of
whether the federal courts may ex-
anime an order of the interstate COM
merce commission only when it is
urged that 1t Is confiscatory in it's op-
GRAFTON, or also when it is Urged that
the commissions rates are in them
selves unjust and unreasonable.

SUCCESSOR TO sToLYPIN
Impression Prevails That Kokcv.
soft Is In Charge Only
Temporarily.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-The court
influences are mobilizing to control
the government that shall succeed that
OF the late Premier Stolypin, who died
late yesterday of wounds received
when he was shot by Lawyer Bogroff.
The impression prevails that the te
nure of office of NJ. Kokcvsoff, the
acting premier, will be temporary.
The Nationalsts fear they would be
set aside if Kokcvsoff remained at the
head of the ministry. Several minis
ters are also out of harmony with the
acting premier and accordingly there
are numberless candidates for cabinet
posts which are likely to be vacated.
NJ. Kokcvsoff is generally respected
as enlightened on foreign and finan-
cial matters and a Straightforward
conservative in home politics.
The phrase, 'it is time to wind up
the Nationalistic animation and ina1g-
urate conciliation" is attributed to
him. There Is much speculation as
to whether more liberal or more
reactionary policy will be adopted
