UNWORkE ED INDIAN
 MOUNDS IN WISCONSIN

From the New York World.
 Madison, Wis.-Rich Indian finds have been made recently in three coun- ties of northern Wisconsin.
 The Wisconsin Archaeological so- ciety is publishing an account of the explorations conducted by two of it's members, J. P. Schumacher of Green Bay and W. A. Titus of Fond du Lac in Portage, Marathon and Lincoln counties recently.
 A study was made by these men, both of whom are experience investi- gators, of the aboriginal remains still existing about Wausau, Merrill, Toma- hawk, Heafford and other places along the upper Wisconsin river
 Near Bradley and Heafford surveys were made of six distinct groups of Indian earthworks of which there had been no previous state record. The largest of these consisted of S3 conical and oval mounds. An emblematic mound in one of the groups is the only one of it's class as yet located in northern Wisconsin.
 It is more than 60 miles north of the northermost limit of the effigy mountd territory. At this place there also exists a fine plot of old Indian garden beds
 In Portage county the work of the investigators was chiefly confined to the regions about Lakes Emily and Onneland, near each of. which impor- tant discoveries were made

|ELOPERS MAKE USE |0F SWIFT MOTOR GAR

An elopement to Kansas City in d Military academy and a young woman instructor in the Baptist college. a searching commandant of the academy and a frantic dash to Kansas City by the boys parents ended late at night when all concerned parties registered by chance at the same hotel and came face to face, says Kansas City special to the New York World The parents left for their home in St. Joseph in the morning, accompanied by the boy and girl, and indications are that all will end well.
 Marion Cox, 1S-year-old son of R. E. Cox wealthy real estate dealer of St. Joseph. was the bold Lochinvar. Miss Ruth Cook, an instructor in the sectarian school and whose home is in Sedalia, was the maid to make the dash with the youth. Commandant w. H. Mcclellan of Wentworth Military acad- emy at Lexington, Mo. was the man who disrupted the smoothly laid plans of the elopers or made it possible for their escapades to end as happily as 1t promises to.
 Young Cox had attempted a similar elopement with the eirl on Monday night, which accounts for the presence of the parents on their way to Kansas City. The meeting occurred at the Kupper hotel, where all had registered In anticipation of a lively day
 Marion had taken Miss Cook for an auto ride in the commandant's auto. His good standing with the officers and the fact that he had been granted a furlough and was about to return home permitted the liberty. At 6 o'clock at night the young couple were a half mile out beyond the boundaries of Lexington when they met big and speedy car.

 Washington May 16.-President Wilson has sent Governor Ammons of Colorado a telegram, informing him that the fed eral troops will not be kept in the trou- bled mine district indefinitely, and urg- ing that the legislature now in session take steps to settle the states diff culties.
 President Wilson's telegram to Cover nor Ammons read:
 Am disturbed to hear of the proba- bility of the adjournment of your legis- lature and feel bound to remind you thai my constitutional obligations with regard to the maintenance of order in Colorado are not to be indefinitely continued by the. inactivity of the state legislature. The federal forces are there only until ths state of Colorado has time and opportuni- ty to resume her sovereignty and com plete control of the matter. I cannot con- ceive that the state is willing to foregc her sovereignty or to throw herself en- tirely upon the government of the United States, and I am quite clear that 1t has no constitutional right to do so when it is within the power of her legislature to take effective action,

CALHOUN

Anniston, May 16.-(Special.) )-The. ma jority of Charles Henderson over B. B. Conner in Calhoun county, according to the official count made Friday, amounts to 23o votes, and the same count indicates that Dr. A. A. Persons has carried the county over J. A. Wade for commissioner of agriculture by BIO votes.
 The Henderson majority is smaller than his supporters had predicted, but is also a surprise to the Conner men, who had counted on Calhoun as safe, so much so that there was practically no Conner or ganization in this county.
 The official result of the election fol- lows: Conner 1896, Henderson 1926. Martin 195S, Riddle 6SS. Persons 1510 Wade 12S9.

 Tampieo is. quiet; the stores have peen re2yened and Americans are re- 'ur mtt.S on every steamer.
 ,"'With Tampco occupied it is ex- I pected that that part of Mexico will l cease almost immediately to be the scene of constitutionalist operations, except for the part the port will play as a base for supplies. The govern ment already has declared it a closed port, but should this order be disre- garded and clearance given in any port for Tampico, it is not anticipated that Huerta will dispute seriously the right of foreign vessels to enter.
 | Should President Huerta blockade there will be plenty for his two gun boats on the gulf to do, as, including Matamoros, the constitutionalsts now
 have In their possession three ports north of Vera Cruz. Small boats might l land cargoes at Matamoros or Tuxpan l To the west of Tampico, the only fed erals are those who evacuated Tam pico, and they appear to be in hopeless 1 position. They are confornted by large forces, who for many weeks have been controlling the region south and east of Cerritos In their rear is a strong detachment sent forward by Gen. Pablo Gonzalrs from his army holding Tam pico. The federals are believed to have slight chance to escape.

They defend their atrocities by the plea that they are describing life as 1t is. They do not they show us the rotten cankers of life. They make the great city the altar of ilfe.

 New York Provincial
 There is no more provincial place on the continent, says one who knows, than New York; no place to. see life but life shrivelled in the heat of, passion, with men bereft of noble manhood, and lofty purpose and women pictured as ox-eyed and tinted with peroxide. who dread fat more than sin, and who regard pimples as their direct enemy. Of their books the best seller is the worst smeller Of their dramas, they revolve about the seventh commandment. Let them picture the scarlet woman and the married rake, and they lack for neither readers nor spectators.

Presidents Attitude

Washington, May 16.-President Wilson today made it clear that Colorado must quickly solve it's own difficulties grow ing out of the strike situation and that federal troops would be withdrawn as quickly as possible. He telegraphed Gov ernor Ammons telling him the state leg islature should not adjourn without talk ing steps to control the situation and received a reply from the governor de- claring everything possible was being done
 At the White House tonight officials close to the President asserted that he does not plan to withdraw federal troops If anarchy is to break out again, but he feels there is no excuse for legislature adjourning and leaving the problem up to the federal government.
 Members os the Coiorado delegation in Congress were alarmed by the President s telegram to Governor Ammons and said anarchy would reign again if the troops were withdrawn before the strike was settled. They declared that only a small proportion of arms have been turned in and that virtually an armed truce exists at present.
 The President will be reasonable. it was said at the White House, but be- lieves that under the constitution he has no right to use federal troops in Colorado when the legislature has chance to act
