STONE MONEY IN GRAVE
rs YEARS; JUST FOUND
Nc Cray Gravel Pit, Near cIoverdale,
Cal, Yields Relics Of Early
Indians.

tudidHo.
San Francisco, CAL Most impor.
tant anthropological finds relating to
California Indians have been unearth-
ed by William Altman, assistant cura-
tor of the Golden Gate Park Museum,
in the McCray gravel pit near Glover
dale.
The find consists Of the discovery
Of burial ground which had been In
use by the Indians of that part Of the
State for a period far antedating the
arrival of the white men in California.
Altman, who returned from there
recently, has secured vast amount
of Pomo stone money, made from
magnesite, and numerous other OBJ
jects of Indian life and culture.
One Of the most important finds
from the pit was the rude coffin OF
High Chief Masilacoon, the last high
chief of the Pomos of that section.
According to the details which Alt.
man was able to get from the few In
dians left living In that region, the
chief, whose name meant Big Snake
was buried in the pit about rs years
ago. When he died the Indians were
called from miles to attend the cere-
monies. and just before the body was
cover d those present threw stone
money into the grave.
Most of the information was given
Altman by an Indian named Charlie
La Moon, who is said to be over 100
years old. He was present at the
burial.
Altman lacked the time to investi
gate the pit thoroly. but he was told
by LaMoon that 1t contained at least
800 bodies. not including women and
children.

Dear Friend:-
received your most kind and loving
letter and was more than surprised to
he 3r from you. 1t found me well and
happy, and hope this finds you the
same. am thanking you a thousand
times for the booklet you sent me.

trying to write. The big guns are
roaring and the shells are whistling
over my head. don't know whether
you can read this or not but am doing
my best as there is lot of noise here,
and wish you could all hear one of
these big shells-they sound like the
wind coming around a corner in the
winter time.
want to say that France is the most
beautiful country that have ever seen.
Of course everything is old fashioned.
| was in a German church, Sunday,
that beat anything ever saw. They
have several tombs set in the floor and
the cemetry is around the church SO
il is real handy.
Well, | wish was back in old East
Jordan handling lumber again, for

However, don't think the war will
last very much longer-then we can
all come home again.
haven't had chance to get a Ger
man but hope do soon. Yes, we will
deliver the punch when the time comes
all right, but it seems slow in coming.
When we do hit, though, we will hit

Wrests World Championship From
Rival in Contest That Is Spread
over Four Days.
Philadelphia, Pa.-Lawrence Hunt
ington of West Philadelphia holds the
record as the champion ivory beater
of the world. The title was accorded
to him at Sis o'clock Sunday morn
ing when he dropped over at piano
which he had been ceaselessly pound
ing cor 65 hours and IA minutes, drum
ming out a symphony in X fiat.
Huntingdon and j. M. Waterbury Of
Emporia, Kan, started musical mar
athon on Thursday at noon at Fifty
second and Ranstead streets. Water
bury up to that time was the worlds
champion, having record Of 65 hours
and minutes.
From Thursday until Sunday at
SOB a. m, the pair kept up the con-
test. Then Waterbury went out, and
Huntingdon was left to pound away
on the keys alone.
He insisted that he was goins to
distance Waterbury and he did, but
when he was seven minutes beyond
the Emporia mans record he faded
away and had to be carried off where
he could get little sleep.
While the contest was on the play
ers had to keep their fingers going
ceaselessly. They were fed thru q
hose. Their fingers were padded with
little pieces of felt and tho keys were
covered with talcum powder. This
assuaged in great measure the
effect OF the constant playing upon
their fingers.
In the last hours, as he was near
the record of his rival, Huntingdon
showed signs of nodding to sleep. but
the crowd around the place in which
he was playing kept up an uproar OF
cheering so that he would remain
awake. When he found that he had
smashed Waterbury's record, how
ever. he insisted on taking a rest, de-
spite the urging of his friends that he
keep on.
"Pm off music for q while," he said
after he had taken some sleep. i've
had all want, for the time being. I'm
what you might call fed up"

Of that body next Monday with the
request that the commissioners give
the city title I'm fee simple 20 the
park. but as the. park board failed

ance before the county commission
ers has been postponed 20 a week
from Monday.

The board OF park COMMISSIONS

Its Work and is Ordered

eminent regulations affecting raw
cotton ended today with the dissOlu-
ton OF the cotton distribution com
mittee Of the war industries board.
While there was no announcement
either By Chairman Charles j.
Brand of the committee or by Chair
man Baruch OF the war industries
board, as 10 the considerations
which led to the decision 10 abolish

that officials no longer regarded It
as necessary to control distribution
now that the world markets have
been reopened with the ending of
the war.
The committee appointed by Pres't
Wilson TO investigate the general
cotton situation was dissolved sew
eral weeks ago after il had reported
10 the president that there was no
necessity for fixing a price for the
various grades Of raw cotton.
Another action by the government
today affecting cotton was the allo-
/ cation by the shipping board of two
ships Of 21.2OO tons for the cotton
carrying trade. The Kirkle Of g.
/ 400 tons was ordered 20 Galveston 10

| tation. and that he is very hopeful
| Of being able 20 follow up these al
| locations shortly with additional
