WITH ASSURANCES THAT cARBA.
JAL WILL TURN GOVERNMENT
OVER TO CARRANZA.
TWO DEMANDS MADE
United States Warns Carranza that
Amnesty Of Prisoners and Assurance
That Foreign Debts Made by Huerta
Are Protected, Must be Guaranteed.

Washington, d. c., July 17.-With
definite assurances today that Carbajal
is prepared to turn the government
over to Carranza, thereby removing
the biggest obstacle to peace, other
serious troubles developed when the
United States limited to Carranza that
before recognizing him, it must be as
sured of two things:
First, the amnesty of prisoners;
Second, what he is to do with Huer-
ta's foreign debts.
These debts were contracted with
powers which formerly recognized
Huerta, and the United States does
not see how Carranza can entirely
repudiate them. An international COM
mission for debts is suggested.
Carbajal wires that he will not ap-
point a cabinet until he confers with
Carranza.

A PREHISTORIC PEOPLE
American Cave DwelIers Were Not
Big Jawed Meat Eaters.

The American cave dwellers were
not ape-men, not even higjawed, low.
broNed man eaters like the alleged
associates of the famous albeit anony-
nous owner of the "Neanderthal
Skull" Corn and squash seeds three
kinds of gourds, the stone metate and
the slender bones OF birds tell of the
largely vegetarian diet of these prime
val cave dwellers.
Evidences of religious worship
abound; little estufas, with places for
the sacred fire among the dwellers,
and larger ones in the open canyon,
where circles of communal huts in
close the central floor, hardened by
the feet of thousands of dancers.
Here, still uneXplored are hundreds
of tiny cavern houses burrowed in
cliffs 500 and 600 feet high, colored in
maroon, ochre, sober gray and gypsum

deep lavender
Not far away, at Casa Grande, a
race of tall men lived in larger caves,
and left their mummied dead to tell
of siX-footed braves and broad-hipped
women; while at Frijoles the bodies
swathed in woven cloths, were of med
ium height, with here and there a
taller warrior. Reservoirs to impound

federals, are embroiled at Acapulco
and heavy fighting is reported there.
Two American warships are now hur-

evacuation and many federal mines in

Nevertheless the ending Of To-
nights fighting has kindled bad feel
ing and is likely to be followed by
long drawn out arguments. There
has been an undercurrent of preju-
dice against American boxers among
English ring followers, and however
Smiths breach of the
rules was, it will probably be cited
in support of this prejudice.

new ledger, and it is important to
him that he gets the book. 1t be-
longs to the Dyer Transfer company.

NO cHAUTAUQuA THIS YEAR
Chautauqua at Sulphur Abandoned
For This Year

Sulphur, Okla, July 16.-At a recent
meeting of the executive committee
and members of the board of control
of the Oklahoma Methodist Assembly,
it was decided to abandon the Sui
phur chautauqua for the present year,
as conditions are not favorable for a
successful encampment. The action
taken does not mean the giving up of
the enterprise at Sulphur, but mem
bers thought that owing to so many
ministers and other church workers
having given much time to the gener-
al conference and the women's meet
ing that the local work might suffer
if any more time was taken from reg
ular church duties.
The committee recommended that
the church enter upon a campaign for
the raising of $1,000 to be used in pay
ing for small Indebtedness, the erec-
tion of dining hall, and the improve
ment of the grounds. The church
owns five acres of ground at Ramsey's
lake on which has been erected tab
ernacle costing $1,000, and the sessions
held during the past three or four
years have been of great educational
benefit to both preachers and laymen.
Definite announcement of the 1915 as.
sembly will be made at the annual
conference in November and a COM
plete program ready in January.
