ruins in Yucatan and in the territory
of Quintana Roo. wild section of
the country. separated. he said from
the state in 1903 and placed under
direct federal control
Among the most famous Magyar
ruins visited by Capt. Bennett were
those at Chichen liza and at Tuloom
The latter, great walled city near
the eastern coast, was the most inn
pressivc of all to him, Capt. Bennett
said.
Country Is Wild.
II agree with s. X. Lothrop, in re-
port by the Carnegie Institution, .
said Capt. Bennett, that Quintana
Roo is one of the least known and
widest portions of the New World. .
Quintana Roo is mostly tropical
forest, high trees, a playground for
monkeys, parrots, jaguars, yenomous
serpents and the whole category OF
tropical animal and vegetable life.
At Merida Capt. Bennett said h,
met DR.. Sylvanus Morely Of the Car
negie Institution, who introduced hin
to the native boy who was his com
panion on his trip, Don Alfred
Camara. Capt Bennett paid high
tribute to the explorers Stephens.

the Businesses of the Magyar country

the trials and tribulations of these
men who spent months and years IN

places"
One of the strangest instances of
the introduction of education among
the Indians of that country, Capt
Bennett said he found at a little
Indian village Tiziniu, where a native
commandant had constructed {;
wooden building to hold about 300
persons, equipped it with an electric
lighting plant, motion pictures and a

A new divorce mill for unhappy
Americans has been discovered in
Mexico, according TO Capt. Robert X.
Bennett, attorney. of this city, who
has just returned from six-week
hunting and archaeological explor-
alton trip in Quintana Roo and fu-
catan.
This mill is the beautiful city of
Merida capital of Yucatan. Capt. Ben
nett says, reporting that as many as
so American couples come from the
United States each month to have
their marital bonds struck off over
night.
Under the odd divorce laws. Capt.
Bennett reports, couples from the
States have no difficulty in obtaining
a divorce within "a hours.
Contracts Are Presented.
AS described by Capt Bennett, who
says he was also there about 80 years
ago, the capital of Yucatan is now
strange mixture of the aboriginal and
the modern, with a reputation for be-
ing a clean and beautiful city. with
street cars run by gasoline motors.
with modern methods in effect in
many phases of life; education enter
tainment, theaters and American mo
ton pictures, but with a suspicion Of
banking so ingrained that people
carry tnelT money ABOUT In little bags,
and many go armed with guns con-
tinually to protect their possessions
Not long before he was there, Capt
Bennett said he was told violence
had been common, and one day the
populace awoke to find four men
hanging from a limb of a tree in the
plaza. 1t was in 1916, according to
the captain. that the great bank
trouble took place. when Alvarado,

which some native overseers have been
killed and surrounding vegetation de-

A violent and destructive eruption of
