THE OAKDALE Bridge

The steel bridge across Emory
River at Oakdale is in a bad condi-
ton. In fact, it is liable to fall at
any time.
The only way to remedy this con-
dition is to build a new bridge. We
had occasion to cross this bridge on
last Tuesday morning. and we
looked it over carefully. Some of
the irons which hold the structure
together are practically eaten into
with rust. It will not surprise us to
hear of this bridge being at the bot
tom of Emory River most any time.
We are not criticising the author
tiles, nor are we giving instructions
how to repair it but we wish to
point out the danger to the travel
ing public. It appears to us that ev-
cry man with a team or an automo-
bile takes his life in his own hands
when he goes on this bridge. And
yet it is almost impossible to do
otherwise. To carry on the neces-
sary business of Oakdale and the
county it becomes absolutely neces-
sarE for teams and autos to cross it.
It is barely possible that it could be
repaired and made safe to last
through the winter. If this could
be done, there should be no time
lost in doing it. 1t would be great
calamity to Morgan County for this
bridge 10 go down with the loss of
many human lives.
When the County erects a new
bridge it be made of concrete. A
concrete bridge is the cheapest in
the long run. 1t may cost more at
the time to build it, but it will last
indefinitely, and the upkeep will
be practically nothing compared
with steel structure. By all means
ouild the one that will last more
han life time.
This is not solely an Oakdale en-
erprise. OF course it benefits Oak
lale, and at the same time it bene-
its Morgan County. Any thing
hat helps Oakdale helps Morgan
;ounty. The people that live in tt g
Western part of the county will use
his brsdge. We might say the pros
erity of the 3rd District depends
pom this bridge. And not only the
rd district but citizens in every
istrict in the county will have oc-
aston to use ii at some time or 9TH
r. Let every man in the county
:and together for the erection of a
oncrete bridge across Emory River
Oakdale. ....

What Tenderness ls.

Tenderness is the extreme suscepti-

pity, the sensitive delicacy of love, the
culture of sympathy, and the most

,deep-seated, and impulsive gentleness,

Even the Chicago Tribune, always
a staunch friend of the railroads made
the statement that the rate increase
when translated into the cost price
which the consumers would have to
pay would add three hundred and six
ty-five dollars a year or 81 a day to
the expenditures Of every American
family. This added burden imposed
upon the consumers by the last Con-
gress they cannot escape. They must
freeze or starve. Our own Congress-
man-Young-voted to saddle this
enormous burden on the people. He is
running again and is opposed by
State Senator Olson at the. coming
election. Olson is one Of the squarest
men in the state and has never been
even charged with graft. No matter
whether you are a N~onpartisan or not
is it not to your interest to vote out
the grafters who imposed this awful
burden on the people?

Huerta Will Abrogate
Carranza's Oil DEGREES
Naturalization of Petroleum To
Be Sustained in Theory and
Prior Rights Restored

: MEXICO CITY, July 9-Article AT
of the Mexican constitution, which ma
tionalizes petroleum deposits, will be
sustained theoretically, but all DEGREES
issued by former President Carranza
prejudicing prior rights of petroleum
owners will be abrogated by a Presi-
Dental decree, TO be issued shortly.
Provisional President Adolfo de la
Huerta made this statement to foreign
correspondents here last night.
Oil men will be given the right to
preempt petroleum claims within FIVE
years, but once preemption is made
they will have an indefinite time
within which to drill, Huerta said. He
made it clear these were his present
views, which might possibly, but not
probably, be changed after comforting
with the Secretary of Industry, Com
merce and Labor and after hearing
lawyers for oil interests and his own
attorneys in joint debate on the sub
,ject.
The projected decree will protect
prior owners by forbidding outsiders
preempting the formers property. All
such previous actions by outsiders in
terfering with prior rights will be alb
rogated, said the Provisional President.

Jack Johnson Is Refused
Terms by Federal Agent
Pugilist Phones Offer to Surren-
der on Condition That He
Shall Not Re Handcuffed

LOS ANGELES, July 9.-Jack john
son, former heavyweight champion
pugilist, now fugitive from Ameri-
can justice, in long distance tele-
phone call to-day from Tijuana, Lower
California, offered to surrender him
self to the Federal authorities if ac-
corded certain privileges.
W. P. Hall, special agent Of the De-
partment of Justice, who told of john
sons offer, said he refused to make
any bargain with Johnson.
Hall said johnson offered to cross
the international line and surrender
to United States officers if assured
he would be taken Immediately to Chi
cago, where he was indicted under
the Mann act. He further demanded,
Hall said, that he was at no time to
be handcuffed or treated as prisoner.
Hall stated he told Johnson he would
be treated exactly the same as any
other person for whom the American
government had a warrant.
Later, after comforting with J. Robert
O'Connor, United States District At
torney, Hall said the Department Of
Ju stice was not concerned with John
son and that his arrest was matter
for the United States marshal.

Jury Obtained to Try
Communists i'm Chicago
Sixty Days Spent in Examining
Veniremen; Two New Workers
Among 20 Defendants

CHICAGO July 9.-The jury to try
William BrossN Lloyd and nineteen
other members of the Communist La
Dor party for alleged conspiracy to
overthrow the government by force
was completed to-day.
Sixty days were spent in selecting
the jury and more than $500 venire-
men were examined before twelve salts
factory. to state and defense were
found.
Lloyd, millionaire sergcant-at-arms
of the Communist Labor party, and his
associates were arrested last January
during the nationwide roundup of sus-
pected radicals and were indicted on
four conspiracy counts and general
indictment charging violation of the
new state law against criminal syn
dicalism. There were originally thirty
nine defendants, but thirteen were
never found.
The defendants associated with Lloyd
included Alfred Wagenknecht, New
York; Charles Baker, Cleveland; Alex
ander Bilan and Ed. Lindgren, New
York; Max Bedacht, San Francisco,
and Jack Carney, Duluth, all national
committeeman of the party.
Three women, Margaret Prevey. Ak
ron, Ohio; Helen Judd, Chicago school
teacher, and Clara Rofsky, secretary
OF local branch, will be tried later.

pit, filled with ashes, is without dupli-

pit, flied with ashes, il without dupli-
cation in any cliff house.
No pottery, no stones for grinding
meal, no household utensils Of any
kind were found anywhere in the
ruin, but d few feet below the sur
face OF the court ashes and burnt
wood occur in great quantities. Every
where on the we'll made floor were
found indications Of former fires and
the roof of the cave shows the same
evidence. No wooden beams occur in
floors or roofs.
Evidence Of Fire Cult
The painted room at the west end
Of the court shows most significant
evidence of the fire cult, for here was
found painting, now much mutilated,
representing a supernatural being
which is still personated by the Hopi
Indians in their worship Of fire or life.
In the corner Of this room is q small
Are hole which still contained ashes.
1t is highly probable that fire dances
akin to those Of the Hopi were per-
formed around the fire pit. In that ex-
PLANTATION the new fire may be sup
posed to have been kindled by Are
drills in the painted room west Of the
court on the wall of which there is a
painted figure OF supernatural be-
ing. Many fire drills found in the
Mesa Verde ruins are the same as
those used by the Hopi in their great
winter ceremonial. After the new fire
had been ignited in this room it was
transferred to the small fireplace in
the corner, and later by means of
torches was carried to the large fire
pis in the middle of the court, where
spectacular dances were performed
around it in the presence Of specta-
tors

elect Gondra, Of Paraguay, declared at

Fire Worshipping
Building of Cliff
Dwellers Is Found
Discovery in Mesa Verde Ma
tional Park Believed to
Open New Chapter in His
tory of Prehistoric Race

From The Trtbume's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July GA new
chapter in the history Of the prehis-
toric peoples Of the Southwest is
opened by what is believed to be the
discovery in the Mesa Verde National
Park of building erected by Cliff
Dwellers for the practice of fire wor-
shipping.
DR.. j. Walter Fewkcs, chief of the
bureau of American ethnology of the
Smithsonian Institution, has just re-
turned from the Southwest, where he
made extensive studies of the ancient
structure.
The cliff house on which DR.. Fewkes
worked shows 40 sign that it was
built for domicile, but was con-
structed for special ceremonial uses.
This building, known for the last few
years as Painted House, formerly
partly buried in fallen debris, has been
completely uncovered.
Plan of the House
The architecture of the house is
simple. It's plan shows two massive
walled buildings of good masonry, sep
arated by court so feet long and Is
feet wide. Each of these buildings is
two stories high, that on the east hav-
ing two rooms, one above the other;
that on the west with three rooms on
the ground floor. The rear of the court
is formed by the. upright wall of the
cliff and bank of masonry with walls
plastered white above and red below.
On this plaster are numerous triangular
figures. Around the court are stone
banks built just high enough for seats
for spectators.
The feature in the court, which
points to fire worship, is a large cir
cular pit situated in it's middle. This

the employ of that company in Wash
ington and Miss Poindexter was en-
ployed by the Bureau of Engraving in
that city. Costello accuses Wright of
selecting four trunks from those in
charge of the express company and
putting new tags on them, by means of
which he was enabled to claim them
himself, one in Providence, r. l.; one
in Philadelphia, one in Boston and one
in Baltimore. He alleges that some of
the trunks and their contents were
found in the rooms of Wright and the
young woman.
According to Costello, Wright and
the woman became acquainted some
time ago when Wright was streetcar
conductor in Norfolk, Va. and went
from there to Washington together.
Wright's home is in Cleveland, Tenn,
and Miss Poindexter's in Trevilinia,
Va. Both are employed in depart
ment store in this city: Wright being
q stock manager and Miss Pondexter

Seeks Oil Under Hudson

TRENTON, July 9.--Despite opinions
held by geologists, Commander Cleland
Davis, U. S. N. (retired), Of Englc-
wood y. s.. is convinced that oil in
large quantities is trickling beneath
the Hudson River bed. He has applied
to the Department of Commerce and
Navigation for permission to prospect
for oil and make borings in the river
bed from Englewood Park to point
one and one-half miles south.
This point is approximately opposite
the 130th Street ferry. Commander
Davis is willing to dig for the oil pool
at his own expense,
