PENN u. SEES
EXHIBITION OF
AZTECS' GOLD
300 Pieces of Exquisite Handi-
work in Collection Laid
Out at Museum.
PROVES OLDEN TALES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June e.-The
golden age" in America that ended in
the enrichment of Spain and the down
fall Of the Aztec empire has hardly in
modern times been made to appear so
real and tangible as has lately happened
at the museum of the University of Penn
sylvania when 900 pieces of dull and
shining gold, wrought into myriad of
strange, fantastic ornaments, and cast
solidly into the forms Of forgotten gods"
were placed on public exhibition.
A larger collection of ancient American
goldwork has not been brought together,
and arcbaeologists believe that many Of
the pieces were shipped to Spain by Cor
tez and may have been selected by Mon
tezuma as gifts to his fellow monarch
at the time when he was at once at
tempting to persuade the Spaniard to
turn back and providing such potent in
centive for him to come on.
Five million dollars worth OF gold,
skillfully handled by the goldsmith, give
to that ancient empire. which seems to
so many Americans more a myth than a
reality, a substantial basis of fact.

Chicago, Sept. 13-Railroad man
ayers today were receiving back at
work the striking switchmen, yard
men and eneinemen in the Chicago
switching district following the
mems vote last night to go back to
their Jobs after being on a ''vaca-
ton" since last March.
The strikers, who were estimated
TO number 5000, will return without
tho granting of their demand for
restoration of seniority rights, rail-
road managers pointing out that they
could not grant it without coming in
conflict with the railroad BCpther-
hoods which had sought to keep their
membership at work.
The vote to return, railroad off,
ctals said, was preceded by many ap-
phcationa from successors for their
cd jobs. The men were given every
opportunity to work themselves into
good places. Others, the officials
0ajd. never would be taken back.
Although no official notice of the
strikes end had been received by
the ofncials, they announced that
they expected the majority of the
Btrtkers to be back on the job by the
end OF this week.

ERRORS: USE SLANG
(Ry United Press)

MOSCOW, Idaho, Nov. 27. - Uni
versity of Idaho graduates make
grammatical errors more frequently
than they use slang, according to sta
tistics which have just been compiled.
Both students and faculty members
who committed derelictions were noted
during the course of three days which
were consecrated to the correct use
Of English.
"Aint" proved the most 'prevelant
of the many "breaks" which were
compiled. Undergraduates were found
to use it promiscuously and persist
emily, and even faculty members were
not immune.
Scotia" proved the most misused of
pronouns, double negatives, plural
subjects and singular verbs were only
slightly less popular errors than the
ubiquitous "aint."
The freshmen outranked other stu
dents in making mistakes.
Among the 75O mistakes recorded,
grammatical errors totaled 800, slang
expressions numbered 230 and faulty
pronunciations amounted to $50.

WATER SUIT is
UP FOR HEARING
LAST OF JANUARY

The demurrer of the mutual water
companies to the complaint in inter-
vention filed by the Imperial Laguna
Water company, through its attorney,
Charles l.. Childers, was set for hear
ing before Judge Swing yesterday, and
upon stipulation of the attorneys was
continued until the date set for hear
ing of the petition for injunction, JAN
uary 81.
In connection with this suit, the
dispositions of Walter B. Kibby, spe-
cial representative of the irrigation
district board, and Mark Rose, irriga-
tion district director, and the presi-
dent of the Imperial Laguna Water
company were taken yesterday before
a notary public, owing to the fact that
Messrs Kibbey and Rose will soon
leave for Washington and will not be
in the valley at the time of the trial.
1t is understood that Mr.. Kibbey's
testimony was very important, be-
cause of the fact that he transmitted
the proposal of the irrigation district
board to recompense the Imperial La
guna Water company such sum as the
secretary of the interior might ad-
judge for their submission to having
their existing contract with the secre-
tary of the interior cancelled in order
to make possible the All American

board, and as their agent secured can

SEATTLE, Nov. 2. - No trace
Of the barge w. J. Pirrie, reported
ashore near James Island, off the
Washington coast, had been found
at s o'clock this morning, accord
ing to a wireless from the coast
guard cutter Snohomish, which
went to the aid Of the stricken
vessel.
Sixteen persons, including the wife
of A. B. Jenson and their baby, were
on the Pirre, which was cut
lopse from the steamer Santa Rita in
q. heavy gale south of Cape Flattery
late yesterday.
A message to the Associated Press
from the naval radio station at North
Head, received at 10:45, said both the
Snohomish and the Santa Rita had re-
ported the search for the Pirrie unsuc-
cessful up to that time.
The Pirrie was cut adlift by the
Santa Rita approximately 1000 yards
from James Island. according to mes
sages from North Head.
The coast line at that point is very
rugged, with many projecting reefs,
and heavy seas today greatly handi-
capped the searching vessels. The
weather was moderating today.
