ROMAN bones FOUND
Graveyard Of Twentieth Legion
Exhumed at Chester, Eng.
Bronze Coins Of the Emperors An
tonlus, Piue and commodus
Are Found With the
Remaina

London.-The extension Of the in
irmary At Chester has led to the dis.
covery Of the graveyard used by the
twentieth legion Of the Romans during
their occupation of that city.
T.; The Chester infirmary occupies a
site which 10 locally referred to az
the plague field" The site seems to
have acquired its unsavory name from
the fact that casual discoveries Of hu.
man remains had led to the SUPPOSE
ton that they were the victims Of
the great plague.
The recent unearthing of remains in
larger numbers on the site of the ex-
tension Of the inf1rmary led to an in
v~estigation by Prof. Robert Newstead.
who now reports that the evidence
proves conclusively that the inflrmary
field was not used as q burying ground
during the outbreak of the plague, and
that all the burials which have been
50 far unearthed belong to the Ro-
man period.
Four distinct types Of graves have
been uncovered. One Is a tomb formed
Of local sandstone, evidently repre-
senting a burial of some Importance.
as the walls of the tomb are covered
in plaster, and the dome of the struc-
ture originally stood out in marked
contrast to the surrounding surface Of
the land. forming a distinct tumulus.
Some of the graves we're formed by
placing Roman roofing tiles bearing
the stamp Of the twentieth legion upon
the floor and also at the sides, the
legionary stamps always facing in
ward.
Another type of burial Was formed
by placing rough hewn sandstone so
that a V-shaped trough was formed
for the reception Of the body. A
fourth type of grave consists of a SIM
pie trench, dug In the solid clay at a
depth Of not more than two feet from
the original land surface.
The Roman origin Of the graves IL
borne out by the fact that bronze
coins Of the Emperors Antonius, Plus
and Commodus have been found in
them. Such coins were placed usual
~ in the mouth Of the deceased. and
are generally referred to ID "Charon's
passage fare" to expedite the passage
Of the soul across the Styx, al It was
believed that the person who had not
received the usual rites Of burial and
In whose mouth no fee for the ferry
man Of the Stygian lake had been
placed, would wander hopelessly on
its banks. while a decent interment
and a small coin would obviate any
d~isagreeable inquiries that Charon
might else be inclined to make.

THE WEBB BILL

The Webb bill, recently pass
ed by both houses of congress,
is as follows: The shipment
or transportation, in any man.
ner or bv any means whatso-
ever, of any spurious, vinous,
matted, fermented, or other in
toxicating liquor of any kind,
from one state, territory or
district of the United States or
place noncontiguous to-: but
subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, into any other state,
territory or district of the Unit
ed States or place noncontigu-
Gus to, but subject to the juris-
diction thereof, or from any
foreign country into any state,
territory or district of the Unit
ed States. or place noncontigu-
Gus to, but subject to the juris-
diction thereof, which said
spurious, vinous. matted, fer
mented or other intoxicating
liquor is intended, by any per-
son interested therein. to be
received, possessed, sold, or in
any manner used, either in the
original package or otherwise,
in violation of any law of such
state, territory or district of the
United States or place non
contiguous to, but subject to
jurisdiction thereof, is hereby
prohibited"
Congress is to be congratul-
ated on the passage of this
measure. There is no good
reason why interstate COM
merce should be used to null
lily state laws nor for the ma
tional government entering in.
to partnership with law break
ers in dry states by the issuance
OF licenses to sell a product in
manner contrary to state laws
on the subject.
This measure will greatly
facilitate the proper enforce
ment of the liquor laws of
North Dakota and will still
permit the shipment of liquor
for any purpose that is legal
under our state laws. 1t is a
good measure.
