EVIDENCES OF
PREHISTORIC
CULTURE FOUND
Priceless Relics Discovered in
Arizona Show Ancient
Civilization

Santa Fe., N. NJ, Aug. 23.-Evi-
dences of a pre-pueblo culture thou
sands of years old were discovered
by DR.. Byron Cummings, of the
University of Arizona. in excavations
just completed in Arizona and New
Mexico, according to word received
by the schools of American Research
to-day. On the Navajo reservation
near the New Mexico Arizona bor-
der, Dr. Cummings broke into caves
of the ancestors of the snake and
antelope clans of the Hopi and Sc
cured many priceless relics.
DR.. Frederick w. Hodge, of the
Bureau of American Ethnology, who
is here to-day after completing ex-
tensive excavations at the ancient
Pueblo of Hawaiku, near Zuni. n. NJ,
reports remarkable discoveries relat-
ing to the ancient culture of the
seven cities of Cobola, the first towns
seen by the Spanish conquerors.
Evidences We're found of cremation
and dismemberment of bodies upon
burial and DR.. Hodge secured large
quantity of stone utensils, gem stud
ded pottery or rare design, weapons,
cotton clothing, looms, corn and
beans estimated to be 1000 years old.

WILL ASK STATE
TOPRINT BLANKS
More Members of District
Boards Send in Resigna-
tibns Because of Age

The request of the members of the
members of the district appeal
boards of the draft system that the
State print the exemption and other
blanks which the United States gov
ernment has announced it will no
longer furnish will be communicated
Immediately to the State Commission
of Safety and Defense. 1t is also
planed to have members of district
boards estimate what clerical and
other assistance the will need and
have the figures presented to the
governor.
The general belief here is that the
State will be called upon to pay many
of the expenses of the operation of
the draft system out of the $4,000
600 defense fund and that it will
later on render bills to the United
States. The disbursements being
made through draft headquarters are
chiefly for local boards. Many
vouchers have been found defective
ana nave Deen returned.
No announcement of rulings will
be made following the symposium
held at the Senate chamber on
Capitol Hill yesterday between the
district boards and Major c. B.
Warren, of the judge advocate gen
erals department. 1t is explained
to-day that the meeting was simp"
for discussion
In addition to George H. Stuart,
Jr., of Shippensburg, who has re-
signed because he is within the draft
age, it Is understood here that an
other member of a district appeal
board, Joseph Mccormack, of Erie,
will resign for the same reason.
The draft headquarters to-day an
nounced these appointments:

Pope Does Not Expect
Early Peace Because
Of His War Message
By Associated Press

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 2S.-Pope
Benedict did not expect early peace
to result from his proposal to the
belligerent nations that hostilities be
ended, according to a statement by
Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano, apos-
tolic delegate to the United States,
who is here to-day to attend the con-
vention of the American Federation
of Catholic Societies which begins
next Sunday
Il can say authoritatively that the
Holy Father believed there was no
prospect of the warning nations ar
ranging terms soon," said Monsignor
Bonzano. but he believed that he
could impartially offer a proposal
that might bring the leaders of the
warning nations to normal sense of
thought and to try to arrange the
terms"

CITY INTERESTED
NDAYTON FIGHT
With Approach of Primaries
Turn to Result of Battle to
Retain City Manager

With the approach of the big de-
cision" at the polls in September, the
eyes OF Harrisburg's citizens are
turning with more than ordinary in
terest to the results of the recent
victory of the people of Dayton
Ohio, in the battle to retain the city
managerial form of municipal gov
ernment.
Dayton faced what the people OF
that city realized was a real crisis in
its history. Upon the counting OF
the primary vote August IA depend
ed the question of whether or not the
letter and spirit of Dayton's city
charter was to endure.
People Prove Loyal
Led by Governor Cox and his
zation directed the bitterest fight OF
years against the features of the city
charter upon which Dayton prided
itself - the nonpartisanship of the
commission personnel and the em-
ployment of a city manager to con-
duct the operation of the city. The
present commissioners had nothing
to defend; the Democratic machine
had nothing upon which to attack.
The Organization" depended entire
ly on the underground System" to
win. And, more significant perhaps
than anything else was the fact that
the Democratic organization used as
a weapon the wall that the city was
paying its city manager too large a
salary. Dayton's people, whether
through indifference or ignorance,
scarcely realized how splendidly the
city had been operated upon the city
managerial form of government. And
a vigorous publicity campaign of
education, the basic principle OF
which was to show the citizenry just
how efficiently, economically and ser
viceably the citizens tax dollar had
been expended. was fought out for
nearly a month. The people proved
that they understood when they went
to the polls August IA.
1t is interesting to note that the
Dayton campaign was conducted
with efficient publicity and in the
forefront of this department was a
former member of the Telegraph
staff, Martin NJ. Keet, who is spend
ing a few days at his home here.
