CANNIBAL MOUNDS
WILL BE EXPLORED
Seek New Facts on Ameri-
can Man-Eating Indians.

Washington.-With the departure
for the Louisiana coast of Henry B.
Collins, Jr., ethnologist, the Smith
sonian institution initiates an expiora-
ton of an almost forgotten area OF
prehistoric life on this continent. The
region, which extends westward from
New Orleans, was the camping ground
of the Attacopa and Chitimacha In
dams. It has been overlooked by
Psychologists and nothing has ever
been written about 1t.
Mr.. Collins, who is assistant curator
Of ethnology in the National museum
and whose expedition the bureau of
ethnology is financing, will investi-
gate the mounds in the area with a
view Of determining whether they are
true mounds or mere shell heaps, and
to collect bones, artifacts and pottery.
So far all the pottery found along the
gulf from Florida to Louisiana has
been similar, indicating cultural re-
lationship among the peoples and sug-
costing migration route.
cannibal Tribe.
The Attacopa Indians were one OF
the few known cannibai tribes OF the
American continent Whether they
engaged in the practice for ceremonial
purposes or for the love of it is not
known. Other cannibal tribes were
found in Cuba, Jamaica, Venezuela.
Colombia and Brazil.
The Chitimacha possessed a much
higher culture and seem to have been
related to the Natchez. They had the
same caste system-division of the
tribe into mobiles and proletariat--and
their language is similar. It is in
teresting to note that caste was trans
mitted through the mother, so that a
high-caste mother could bear high
caste children to a low-caste father,
while the children Of low-caste
mother must remain low caste no mat
ter who was their father. Inciden-
tally. one method Of climbing the so
cial ladder and entering a higher
caste was to sacrifice ones relatives
at the death of noble.
Explore ChoctaW Mounds.
From Louisiana Mr.. Collins will pro-
coed to Mississippi TO continue exca-
vations begun last year of Choctaw
mounds. The old belief that these
mounds were the work Of some fan
ciful ancient race, entirely distinct
from the American Indian. has long
been exploded. 1t is now known def
nitely that they are the work of the
ancestors of the Choctaw or related
peoples, who built them as burial
mounds or more commonly as plat
forms for the erection Of their tenn
Piles and the homes Of their leaders.
The largest Of these mounds is 100
feet high and covers an area Of about
16 acres. When it is realized that
the builders had nothing but crude
sticks and stone implements with
which to dig, and reed baskets in
which to transport the dirt. the in
tensity of the religious feeling which
could produce such q monument may
be understood.

Note in Bottle Tells
of Gold in Canada

Norway, Maine. Do the
bones, OF two human skeletons
stand as the gruesome monu-
ment to a great gold field?
Woodbury. Russell revolves
this question in his mind as he
plans trips In search of the yell
low metal. He has abandoned
interest in the search and gives
all the information he possesses
to the public.
His information is contained
in a note found floating In a
tightly-corked bottle below the
falls at Clark City, on the st.
Margaret river, in Canada. The
note reads:
whoever finds this bottle,
there is gold and in plenty %
miles above the falls. My chum,
Jack, is dead, and I am freez-
ing to DEATH"
Russell, contractor and
builder, went with his brother
and several other men to do con-
struction work at Clark City,
Canada. Here they found the
bottle, and made their first un
successful trip in search of the
mentioned gold.

Six Million Criminals
in u. S., Records Show

Washington.-Stat disclosing
that about 6.OO0,O0O Americans at
some time in their lives have INDUCED
In criminal careers. were obtained at
the Department Of Justice.
About 3O00.O00 have been accused
In the courts. The other half, although
at some time guilty of offenses for
which they might have served terms
in prison, have escaped the vigilance
of the police.
The estimate of the criminally in
clined population was made by de-
partment experts on the basis of the
fact that finger-print records of 1913
900 criminals are on file in the bu-
reau of Identification.

Oysters Catch Cold;
600, 900 Pearls Lost

Tokyo.-Because oysters. like
humans, are subject to bad
colds. loss of more than &c.,
600 embryonic cultured pearls
is estimated to have been suf-
fered by pearl raisers of Ago
bay near Nagoya.
Ago bay is the center of ia
pans cultured pearl industry.
Here tiny seeds implanted in
oysters grow into rich neck
laces. The seasons drought is
said to have caused the water
of the bay to become extremely
cold and the change in teurpera-
ture, experts said, resulted in
the parent oysters catching
cold and dying.

Nomad House Waits

Arrived in front of It's new location

The house is as weary as a Pull
man car patron who. after lurching
his way through car aisles, arrives
at his berth, only TO find he must
linger on his feet while the porter
makes UP his bed.
The Hackney house has blocked
city streets for more than two weeks.
Today q narrow space on the east
side of the house remains for traffic
in Capitol Ave.
The Haugh Hotel is nearly ready
for the last and most crucial stage
Of its sensational journey to new
location near Delaware and Michi'

turn the structure to place it on the
new foundation.

MARINES LANDED

win Protect Americans
Battle Looms.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O-Revo-
lutionary troops are expected to at
tack Bluefields, Nicaragua today, ac-
cording to State Department ad-
vices.
United States Marines have land
ed there to protect American lives
and property.
The department has ordered Amer
lean Charge D'Affaires Dennis to
deliver a sharp communication to
General Chalnorro, whose military
governmenet OF Nicaragua ii does
not recognize.
In order to avoid interference
between ChamorrU and the revolu-
tionists ii is believed the American
force Of occupation may follow the
precedent of last May and declare
BluefieldR a neutral zone.
Any interference by the League of
Nations. following Chamorro's pro
test to ii against alleged Mexican
government support of the Nicara--
guam revolutionists, would be resent
ed by the United States as violation
of the Monroe doctrine. Officials
would not comment on this delicate
aspect of the situation.
