American tombs and ruins have

Judd, Washington scientist, who
has been probing into the past life
Of ancient Americans in northwest
ern New Mexico.
Judd has led four expeditions for
the National Geographic Society to
Pueblo Bonito In Chaco Canyon, and
last night told members Of the So
ciety Of his experiences. An owl,
which perched on the AagpOIe Of
his camp and called wierdly al
night, almost disrupted his working
force, he said, because the Indians
believed 1t was the spirit of some
old BOnitian protesting at the NOV
Ing Of his bones. When the owl
was shot, however, the work went
on satisfactorily.
The people Of Pueblo Bonito were
clever builders. according to Judd,
and constructed the most comfort.

ern hemisphere before the coming
Of Europeans. Their huge apart

residents, was not surpassed In

Much has been learned Of the
Bonitians in the past four years.
Judd declared, by pottery. basketc
and jewelry found in the ruins.

OF the league, has been one of
HAYNES most consistent supporters.
It is known that complaints have
been lodged against Haynes adj
n1inistration by several big indus
trial representatives who deal with
the bureau in securing permits for
Industrial alcohol, and who have
resented Wheeler's influence in the
bureau.
President Coolidge conferred re-
Gently with Arthur Woods. former
police commissioners Of New York
city, and at that time is understood
to have offered Woods the post,
but 1t was declined.
Backs Two Bills.
Another cause for dissatisfaction
with Haynes administration is said
to be his activity in behalf OF Anti
Saloon League legislation in Con-
gress. The League now has two
measures pending in the House that
It Ii backing strongly. One is the
Cramton bill for creation OF q sep
arte prohibition bureau, independent
Of both the Treasury Department
and the Department of Justice. An
other Is the Stalker bill, making it
mandatory upon judges to send dry
law violators TO jail as well as
fine them.
The administration approves Of
neither OF these bills.
In the, case Of the Stalker bin,
President Coolidge considers that
mandatory jail sentences are too
severe for the casual "hip-toter."
Haynes denied today that he had
any Intention Of getting out.
It's news to me- he said
shortly
Haynes has been mentioned as
3 possible nominee for the Cover
nOrship Of Ohio.

court for trial on a capital charge.
The most severe sentence that could
be melted out In juvenile court would
be seven years in correctional in
stitution or until she Is twenty

perior court would be life impris-
onment.

He could not resist temptation.
So he waited the chance to see
the youths go roaming by,
away he went right after them

quickly donned his skates and
in a short time was cutting

Whigham is the biggest

manentiy maintain ii separately"
None the less" he added, ''there
are limitations which all great pub
lie museums must observe in ac-

IN the Clark will admitted TO pro-
bate i'm Butte, Mont, provides for
the collection to go TO the Cor
eoran Art Gallery in Washington
IL the Metropolitan Museum of Art
fails TO accept the gift within four
months.
Senator Clark died of pneumonia
in New York last March 2. His art
treasures filled his Fifth avenue

timated to be more than $75, 900, 900.
