Staff Officer Armed
With Cane Leads Charge

Cairo, June 2s, Correspondence of
Associated Press).-In recent dis
patches from this place mention was
made of the nameless hero of Sed-el-
Bahr-a certain colonel who, after
the difficult landing operations there,
and subsequent to the assault on the
fortress, led the men in a gallant bayo-
net charge up a hill All he carried
was small cane. but a band he wore
on his arm apparently was that of a
staff officer. He walked about in the
open under a continuous fire, talking
to the men, cheering them up and
rallying them together. When they
were all ready for the bayonet charge,
he placed himself in front of them
all, and armed simply with this small
cane led with charge up the hill. The
moral effect of the officers action was
great. The men charged up the hill
and cleared their enemy from his
position, but the unknown officer lost
his life. 1t now transpires that the
officer was Major Doughty Wylie, and
the hill on which he met his death is
now known as "Doughty-Wylie's 8
Hill"
He had no business to be there as
he was a staff officer, but the loss
among the officers in landing had been
so great, and the necessity for making
headway quickly was so essential,
that Major Doughty-Wylie acted in
the emergency.

Government Purchase
Opposed by Advocates
of Merchant Marine
By Associated Press

Washington, June 2s.-The referen-
DUN conducted by the Chamber of
commerce of the United States on
various means of developing a mer-
chant marine, results of which were
announced to-day. developed much
opposition to government purchase,
charter or operation of ships and,
correspondingly. an overwhelming
vote in favor of subsidy to offset the
difference in cost of operations be-
tween American and foreign flags. A
large vote was registered in favor of
subsidies to establish regular mail
ana freight lines to American depen-
dencies. large majority was regis
tered IN favor of a government ship
ping board to investigate navigation
laws. BY very close vote the pro-
posal was approved that the govern
ment subscribe to the entire stock
of thirty-million dollar marine de-
velopment company. which would
have authority, under the Federal
shipping board, to lend money upon
security of vessels.
Proposals for Federal license for
lines entering American ports abol-
fshlng rebates and changes in the
ocean mail law were approved.
More than six hundred chambers of
commerce and trade bodies covering
every State were canvassed.

The Mystery of Mound Builders

whose ornaments were copper rings
and bracelets.
In Ohio alone, 1t has been estimated.
there are more than eleven thousand
prehistoric structures, consisting
partly of stone and partly of earth.
Many of them are enclosures which
may have been fortifcations. Often
the remains of cisterns are found
within the Recommendations, which,
in some cases. rise to a height of
twenty-five to thirty feet above the
surrounding land. The area included
in the walls varies from ten or twen-
ty up to fifty acres. The outlines of
the enclosures are symmetrical, gen.
orally circular or elliptical, and some
times forming regular polygons.
certain degree of cultivation on
the part of the builders is Indicated
by the copper and earthen vases,
sometimes of attractive form and
decoration. and the carefully carved
pipe bowls that have been discovered
in, and in the neighborhood of, the
mounds. There is abundant evidence
that the mound builders worked some
of the copper deposits of the Lake Su-
perior region. More than fifty thou
sand of their stone tools used In dig
ging out the native copper have been
found scattered about their abandon
ed pits. There is one instance of an
enormous nugget" of pure cupper got
out by the prehistoric miners, which
proved too unmanageable for them. 1t
weighed six tons, and originally may
have weighed considerably more, for
they had hacked off masses from the
corners and carried them away.
Many archaeologists maintain that
the mysterious people who performed
these things and left the monuments
that we have mentioned, were the an
cestors of the Indians themselves.
Others think that they must have
been a different race. 1t is undeniable
that. although the Indians, after the
white men came, constructed nothing
comparable with the prehistoric re-
mains around them. they showed a
tendency to the performance of SINH
lar works. This is clearly shown in
the story of the great Omaha chief
called THE Blackbird," who, in 1902
was inferred in a huge mound erected
on the summit of a great bluff over
hanging the Missouri river, and, by
his own order, was seated astride
his favorite war horse, killed to ac-
company his master, in order, as he
said, that he might overlook his
ancient domain and behold the boats
of the white men as they came up the
river to trade with his peope.

that ts, assuming that the river as a
public water way and that the public
would have right to use the section
of ground that lies between the low
water and the average high water
mark, would you say Mr.. Berrier. that
the value you place on your ground
would be affected?"
Well" said Mr.. Berrier, "I think
that value would be increased II the
wouldn't be dispossessed. In fact I
think l could sell the ground for
double that amount under these con-
ditions."
Berrier said the boathouse he main
tains on the river side of his property
is worth $4,000 and his dwelling
houses he values at $500 apiece.
Built Before 1869
The old frame dwelling and the
foundations of the present boat houses
including the main wall, Mr.. Berrier
said, were erected by his father prior
to 1869.
This was brought out because the
city in condemning properties for the
contemplated removal of Hard

improvements that had been made to
the land prior to 1S69-the year by
which Front street was legally de-
clared street from the lower end of

III you are looking for an intellectual
occupation for your leisure hours,
something at once fascinating and
useful, take up the subject of Amer
lean archaeology. We have got on this
continent an ancient, untold and un-
written history, the solution of whose
mysteries will, some day. win fame for
the discoverer of their key, and afford
pleasure and satisfaction to millions of
readers.
When white men came here they
found in the territory now constitut-
ing the United States, no inhabitants
except few scattered thousands of
pies of Europe. The red men had no
history. Their traditions concerning
their own origin were cloudy and un-
certain.
But. after the whites had begun to
settle and develop the country, they
found. without searching, many
strange footmarks on this new con-
tinent, of which the Indians could tell
them nothing, except that they had
not made them. 1t became evident
that, at some time in the past, the
country had been inhabited by people
capable of achievement beyond the
capacity of the savage Iroquois, AL.
gonquins and other Indian tribes
which the European invaders found
in possession. But a curtain was
drawn over all that earlier period.
and the imagination alone could pic
ture what was behind it. That curtain
has never been removed. Some writer's
beltttle the Importance of it's conceal
ment, others, perhaps, exaggerate
them. None can deny their intense
interest.
AS to the nature of these footmarks
of a vanished people, an idea may be
formed from the statement that they
consist mainly of artificial struc-
lures of earth and stone, sometime es
of vast size, many of which look like
fortifications, while others were plain
ly burial mounds, or monuments and
a few bear a mysterious character,
presenting details which suggest that
they were intended as religious SYM
bols.
A most remarkable example of this
kind is the celebrated serpent
mound" in Southern Ohio, in which
the unknown builders piled up wind
ing mound several hundred feet long,
initiating the form of gigantic coiled
serpent, or dragon, with extend ed
Jaws.
Below Wheeling, on the Ohio river,
there is pyramidal mound, 900 feet
in circumference and seventy feet in
height comparable in cubic content
as has been remarked, to some of the
pyramids of Egypt, although it con-
tains no masonry, and was simply
heaped up by main strength, without
as far as the evidence goes, the aid of
any kind of machinery. 1t must have
required the labors of thousands OF
men, continued, perhaps, for many
years.
This mound when explored with
cuttings was found to have a vault
in the center containing two human
skeletons, one without ornaments and
the other encircled with hundreds OF
ivory beads. In another vault, be-
tween thirty and forty feet above the

HARDSCRABBLE "MAYOR"

Both Harry J. Berrier and A. p.

figures will run to in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, of which s23,T50
represents what he believes his fifty
foot frontage is worth at $225 per foot,
his two dwellings at $4,000, and his
new boathouse at $4,000 total of
S2S,450.
Unusual interest centers in the
values which these two "Hardscrabble''
residents place upon their properties
in view of the fact that both house
probably ninety per cent. of the canoes
and motorboats that are used on the
river.
Want $225 Per Foot
In testifying before the viewers to-
day both boat pavilion proprietors de-
clared they believed their properties
would bring at least 1925 per foot

Paris, June 2S.-The success with

the difficulties of farming is indi-
Gated by a report from the depart
ment of Meurthe and Mosen. OF the
six hundred communes comprising
this department, 316 were taken by
the Germans and I'll of them are still
occupied or are so close to the fight
ing line that the inhabitants have been
unable to return. In the balance of
the department women replacing men
have succeeded in seeding the full
acreage of oats and wheat in the
communes that were not affected and
20 per cent of the acreage of the
communes that were devastated and
have since been liberated. There was
not only lack of male help in this
work but 1t was seriously COM
promised by lack of horses. To facil-
tate the work the government ad-
vanced the sums necessary for the
seed and agricultural implements on
anticipated indemnities.

wheeled carts loaded with carrots
turnips, cabbages. onions and other
vegetables, driven by men in capes

almost entirely to them that Paris is

ness in the trial before a jury to de-
termine his sanity.
We will show you that in his chill

Attorney Stanchfield said. Thaw's
paranoia was in evidence throughout
his youth, he asserted.
Thaw was then called to the stand
and Mr., Stanchfield began to question
him.
when you left Matteawan did you
believe you had recovered your san
ity?" he was asked.
IT believed I was sane" said the
witness.
physicians had told you SOP"
They had"
rs 1t fact that while you were
staying in Manchester, N. H., you re-
in turn were entertained by them?"
That is right" replied Thaw.
The witness was asked to tell of the
examination of his sanity made in
Manchester by q federal commission
in connection with the proceedings to
extradite him to New York. He
named the members of the commits
sion and told how 1t came to be ap-
pointed.
Physicians representing a Pittsburgh
bank had also come to see him in
Manchester, said the witness. but l
dtd not give them much of an exami-
nation"
This Pittsburgh bank cashed your
checks, did they not?"
Yes. and the banks in New Hamp-
shire. Canada and elsewhere" said
Thaw.
Mr.. Stanchfield turned the witness
over to the states attorney, but Deputy
Attorney General Cook announced that
he would not cross-examine at this
time. The witness was excused and
returned to his seat
