INDIANS SIGNS
NEAR TUCSON
ARE EXPLAINED

Photographs resembling Masonic
symbols, craven on rocks near Tue
son. may connect the "Ho-Ho- Kun"
Indians of prehistoric times with the
ancestors of the Caucasian race.
That is the declaration of DR.. Rob
ert F. Glider, archeologIst of the
recently published in the Omaha
World Herald.
DR.. Glider, who's a close friend
Of Harry A. Draehman, high Ma
son of Tucson, several years ago
visited Mount Tumamoc, on land
comprised in the reserve of the
desert laboratory of the Carnegie
foundation.
Scattered over the north slope of
the mountain at many elevations
were interesting ographs-picture
writings of Arizona's ancient inhab-
itants," DR.. Glider writes.
ION the summit of Mount Tuna
moe, which is a truncated pyramid
about 1000 feet above the level of
the surrounding desert, are the lower
stones of what believe to have
been a pueblo of about 240 rooms.''
Cross Like NTasons
Referring to certain cross that
he found "pecked" on rock, DR..
Glider says:
Last spring saw somewhat
similar emblem on the lapel of Vic
tor Whites coat, and struck by the
similarity of the crosses, learned
that Mr.. Whites emblem was the
patriarchal cross of the thirty-third
degree of Masonry. 1 then made
further inquiry as to the origin OF
this kind of a cross, and found that
the straight or upright cross is pre-
fixed to the signature of a past
grand commander of Knights Tenn
plars.'-Mackey' Encyclopedia of
Freemasonry, page 8.
"There are hundreds of picto-
graphs on Mount Tumamoc They
were made on the surface of a rock
ty pecl<ing with a harder rock.
When I asked some of the elder
Fapago Indians the origin of the
pictures they said they were made
by the 'Ho-Ho-K meaning, those
who have perished.'
Found Swastika
"In ruined prehistoric pueblo at
the foot of the north slope of the
mountain, [ found a swastika within
small circle, painted upon the jim
side of a pottery bowl. In the Ma
sonic encyclopedia before mentioned,
on page 287, there is featured a
swastika, called 'Flyfoot,' which it
says was an ancient symbol well
known among the, heralds.' 1t is
found ins the cataeombs of Rome,
and is one of the symbols of the
degrees of the Scottish Rite system"
Concerning these and certain other
archaeological finds, DR.. Glider makes
this generalization:
Every once in a white. discov-
cries are made in some part of the
United States which seem to connect
the American native with our 0own
ancestors on the other side of the
globe, and not the least will be
found featured in this article"
And, elsewhere in his report, Dr.
Glider observes that recent discov-
cries by biologists seem to place the
Indian here hundreds of thousands
of years"
