Jinx State Bridge
First Flooded Out
Now Burned Down

PHOENIX - The jinx structure
of the Arizona highway department
known as the Antelope Hill bridge,
crossing the Gila river on the road
from Mohawk valley to Yuma was
destroyed by fire of unknown ori-
gin last Tuesday night, according
to information reaching the state
engineer.
Six hundred and fifty feet of the
structure was completely destroyed
by the fire. The rest, about 250
feet in length, was saved by crew
of the Utah Construction company
which was building the new main
line railroad bridge of the Southern
Pacific across the Gila nearby.
For years this bridge has proved
a despair to state highway officials.
The first Antelope bridge was con-
Structed of concrete. Heavy floods
washed out more than half of this
structure. To make the crossing
passable a log ford was provided
and sunk in the river. This rested
on top of the quick sand and pro-
vided the only means of crossing
for more than year.
Later, the ford was replaced by
a wooden structure extending from
the concrete.
This wooden bridge, 900 feet in
length, was erected on piles, sunk

BURYING GROUND
OF ANCIEN TRIBE
FOUND IN LAYTON

Stafford - Further exploration
in the yard at the home of H. B.
Bryce, in Layton, has resulted in
the finding of three more we'll pre-
served ollas, each containing bones
and sand, and moderately sized
bowl or dish. These ollas were
found near the spot where three
weeks ago, the thirteen-year-old
son of Mr. Bryce, while digging
sand, found two ollas, one large one
and the other a small one. Like
the first ones found, these last ones
were filled with bones and sand,
the latter being of a redish color,
showing that it had been burned.
Each of the ollas were covered by
a dish turned over the top and
sealed. The bowl is beautifully
decorated on the inside with color
ed designs, proving that the MAX
ers of the pottery were artists in
their craft.
The pottery was found about 18
inches under the ground in a bed
of ashes and sand that had been
burned until it became red. No
trace of anything, Mr. Bryce states
has been found that would give a
clue as to the tribe of Indians who
must have, at one time, used that
spot for a burying ground.

WONDER
SCENES PRAISED
BY VACATIONISTS
(Bisbee Daily Review


Arizona, the wonder state
that's a fact!" exclaimed Mrs. Jas.
F. Parr, on her return to the
chamber of commerce office yes
terday. The PARIS have just re-
turned from an extended tour to
the Grand Canyon, Mormon Lake,
the Petrified Forest, Lake Mary,
Roosevelt dam and Globe.
"Most people in southern Ari-
zona have no idea of the wonders
that may be seen in the state" de-
clared Mrs. Parr, who paid parti-
cular tribute to Oak Greek cave
and Ice cave at the foot of Sunset
mountain.
Oak creek cave compares favor
ably with Grand Canyon, according
to Mrs. Parr. 1t is 29 miles long,
foliage, trees, and shrubbery
abound, and the scenery is "gor-
geous," she said.
A lake that is frozen over on the
hottest day of summer is to be
found in Ice cave at the foot of the
extinct volcano, Sunset mountain
she reported. The ice in the cave
is of crystalline transparency, ac-
cording to the chamber of COM

CLUB ABANDONS PLAN
TO OBTAIN NATIONAL
MEETING FOR CANYON

TUCSON = The Business and
Professional Women's Clubs of Ar
iona probably will abandon their
plan to try to secure the 1928 con-
vention of the national clubs for
the Grand Canyon, it was announc-
ed here following the receipt of a
message by the local club from the
general freight and passenger
agent of the Santa Fe railway com
pany which stated that it would be
tremendous undertaking for the
state of Arizona to attempt to ac-
commodate with the canyon facili-
ties, from 1000 to 5000 women. the
number expected to attend the
meet.
It is thought here, however, that
there may be possibility of secur-
ing the pre-convention of the exc
cutive committee to meet at the
canyon. This committee will be
composed of less than 500 mem
bers.

PHOENIX - Agents from the
Industrial commission are to call
upon every firm in the state to
make a check to see that all en-
ployers are complying with the reg
ulations of the compensation law,
it was announced late last week by

ployer who has three or more
workmen engaged in the same bus
mess or establishment, not count
ing agricultural workmen not en-
ployed in the use of machinery, and
domestic servants, must secure the
payment of the compensation which
the law allows to the injured work

suring in the state compensation
fund, or by insuring with a licens-
ed casualty company or by obtain

bringing about q sharp reaction to-
day by sudden attack on United

accompanied by any unusually heavy

The attack on steel was timed To
coincide with the publication OF

attention to a further falling off In

Fate EntOmbed
Miners Unknown
In Penn. Coal Mine

Hazelton, Pa, Nov. 11-(P)-The
fate of six miners entombed behind
tremendous rush of water 1900 feet
under the ground in the Tomhicken
Colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company near here remained q
mystery today.
The men We're trapped yesterday
afternoon when a nearby creek
broke through it's banks, as a result
of heavy rain and flooded the mine
Rescue crews worked feverishly
throughout the night to extricate the
entombed men, but early today they
had not succeeded in stopping the
flow Of water. Until this is done
there is little chance of reaching
the victims.
Whether the men are alive or
drowned has not been ascertained.
Hope is held out by mine officials
that the miners would be brought to
the surface safely. They based this
hope on the fact that one of the
group is familiar with an avenue of
escape and on the belief that the
men had made their way to finger
of the gangwav above the waterline.
The water in sections Of the shaft
is eight feet deep. Emergency pumps
have been installed and air is being
forced into the mine. Because of
the depth of the shaft. hut little
hea dway has been made with pumns
and it is feared that the miners will
not be rea ched until the water sub
sides naturally. This may require
several days

Says Some Truth to
Charges Against
Fashionable Churches

New York, Nov. II. - up - Mrs.
Philip Lydig, society woman who
charged in a magazine article that
fashionable churches are only fash
ionable clubs and their rectors share
in the fashionable sins" is more
than half right" in the opinion Of the
Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton, fund
amentalist pastor of the Calvary
Baptist Church.
Il would not bring wholesale in
dictments against the ministry, for
the majority are good and true men"
says DR.. Straton, but I know of cas-.
es where preachers of gross immor- :
ality have been sheltered in getting
away with it by ecclesiastical ma
Chimes"
DR.. Straton blames this alleged
condition on modernism and says
while Mrs. Lydig restricts her crit
iclsm to rectors nevertheless I must
say that while worldliness is moro
notorious in the particular commun-
ion to which she refers 1t Is all too
prevalent in all denominations and
sects. The tendency of modern
churches to theatricals and dancing
is part of the general trend Of thS
times to glorification Of the flesh over
the spirit.

COTTON CLUTS new
ORLEANS PORT BUT
NO EMBARGO IS ON :.

New Orleans. Nov. 17.-(P)-No off,
cial embargo has been placed upon the
movement Of cotton into New Orleans
but the situation is serious and rail-
roads, shipping agencies and all aff1l-
lated interests have been called on to
cooperate in alleviating the situation.
Thus was the condition of affairs
summarized today by Edmond Guey-
dan, chairman of a committee of the
Spot Cotton Merchants Association and
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
which has been coordinating the va
rious cotton interests in an attempt to
solve the problem of handling the ire
mendous influx of cotton resulting
from the south's bumper crop.
His statement to the Associated
Press followed the publication today
of story by the New Orleans States
which declared that an embargo upon
the movement of cotton into New Or
leans was in effect.
I'VE have arranged FOR space for
$50, 900 bales" Mr.. Geydan said. When
that space is filed we do not know
what will be done. We hope, however,
that additional ships will be available
before that time and that the jam will
be cleared. For weeks we have been
working to prevent the necessity of
an embargo.
There is no official embargo now.
Railroads, shipping lines, insurance
companies, cotton men. the dock board
and all other affiliated interests have
been asked to cooperate in the work"

Inland Loss Not
Heavy in Storm
Through n. England

Boston, Nov. -1I.-(P)-New Eng
land took stock of its storm loss today
as calmer weather succeeded day of
gales, unusual heat and heavy rainfall
in which major damage included the
sinking of nearly score of fishing
boats at ProvincetoWn and the beach
ing of the coast guard cutter Morrill,
with % men aboard. A storm that
swept up from the southern Appala-
chan district brought high winds and
a heavy downpour of rain and ended
"a mercuric spree here that saw the
thermometer at ~ degrees. the hot
test November &c in 20 years.
Inland, the gale, which at times
reached an almost hurricane velocity,
wreaked havoc with plate glass win
dows, communication facilities and
store signs. but little material loss
was sustained. Along the coast, how
ever, shipping was effectually tied up
and at Provincetown, on the tip of
Cape Cod, the storm seemed to con-
centrate for its hardest blow before
it rushed out to sea.
There the Morrill,, mother ship Of a
fleet of rum chasers. broke loose from
anchor and before the crew could get
her under way toward sea, had drifted
ashore, SINKING Tour nSnlng DoatS ana

but closed since early fall. 1t was
unceremoniously dumped into the sea
along with a fish market which orna-
mented the sea end of the other
wharf
The Morrill, drifted broadside be-
tween the two and finally was left dry
by the receding tide.
Fishing boats which went down In
the gale were believed entirely without
crews at the time of the blow.
A boy lost his life in Newton when
he was struck by a truck while streets
were in darkness because of the storm.
Seven other persons were hurt in met
ropolitan Boston by falling objects or
were felled by the force OF the wind.
These included an aged woman who
was blown down a subway entrance in

Colder weather was on the bill of
fare for today with the prospect of a
touch of snow.
