LOST CITY, RELICS

At the peak of their civilization,
the cities ranked ahead of many
capitals in Europe at that time,
Thompson said. Their culture lasted
until the Spanish conquest in the
Sixteenth century, and since it was
wiped out the natives have reverted
to Senni-barbarism.
Thompson, as head of the
Marshall Field expedition, spent six
months in the interior of the coun-
try, the first white man to explore
the regions in centuries. From the
Magyar temples and tombs he
brought back ornaments of carved
jade and pottery 1000 years old.

Judge Frees Suspect as
He Rules NO Guessing
by Court

Argument that courts could take
cognizance of possession of baseball
pool tickets as proof, of gambling
purposes was advanced Thursday in
Municipal Court Four by Deputy
Prosecutor Carl Vandiver.
He made his statement to the
court in a case against Fred Van
Brant, SO, Of 1877 Kansas ST., charged
with selling the tickets in a pool.
room at $50 S. Meridian st.
Police said they did not see the
sale of the tickets, but Van Brant
had them in his hand and when he
refused to turn them over, they
conf1scated them.
No Sale Shown
There was no warrant and no
SALE" Judge Paul G. Wetter said.
Possession of these tickets is the
same as possession of playing
cards"
THE matter is altogether diff
ferent," Vandiver protested. Cards
can be used lawfully, but no one in
this courtroom ever heard of these
things being used for any legal
purpose. The court can take judicial
knowledge of the use of these
tickets.
ut is known generally that pool
tickets are for one purpose and one
purpose only. There is a decided dis
tinction between possession of play
ing cards and baseball pool tickets"
Rules Against Guesses
However, there must be facts
showing any alleged gambling"
Defense Attorney Dan Brown stated.
at is not up to this court to guess
men into JAIL" Wetter said in re-
ply. Operating and gaming must

That was how an admiral was
made.
A DMIRAL JOHNSON'S new
IA duties include scrubbing

Admiral Johnson expects to re-

LAND GIFT TO
ASSURE State
SEVENTH PARK
288 Acres in Lawrence Co.
Donated by Cement
Company Head.
BEAUTIFUL IN SCENERY
Virgin Timber and Many
Caves are Found in
Large Tract,

Dreams of a seventh State park
for Indiana came to realization to-
day. with announcement by Richard
Lieber, director Of the Department
Of Conservation, that the Lehigh
Portland Cement Company had
given to the State for park pur-
poses 288 acres Of beautiful rolling
timber land in Lawrence County.
This land adjoins the Donaldson
woods tract, which the last legis-
lature authorized to be converted
into a State park and brings the
proposed tract to about 500 acers.
Projectors Of the new reservation
seek to aquire a total of 1000 acres.
The additional acreage is being
negotiated for by Lawrence County
commissioners.
Gift of E. Nj. Young
The 288 acre tract is the out
right gift Of E. M. Young, Of Allen
town, Pa, president of the Lehigh
company, and his business as
SociateS.
The gift was negotiated by w. H.
Weitnecht, manager of the COM
pany's Mitchell plant.
The tract lies east of Mitchell and
is one of the ccenic wooded tracts
Of that section. It's value has not
been estimated.
On the new reserve are located
the old Hamer mill, long abandoned.
which is to be restored to show how
early water power mills operated;
the Hamer cave; and a beautiful
stream which today provides water
for the cement plant as it did in
the past for the pioneer -four mill.
Timber Never Cut
The Donaldson tract came into
possession of Indiana University
when the former died intestate. 1t
contains virgin timber of large size.
The former owner never per-
mitted the timber to be cut, and it
stands today as one of the few re-
naming remnants of primeval for
ests of the old Indiana.
On those two tracts blind fish are
found in the innumerable under
ground caves.
Indiana University has for years
studied these subterranean areas
and when this land becomes a State
park it will continue to have the
privilege of using the park for ex-
perimental purposes.

Houston in Late June.

However harmonious the next Demo-
cratic convention may be- the selection
= of Houston insureS warm If not a
lively time for the delegates. For this
will be the lowest latitude of which
either of the two major political parties
has ever assembled for the selection of
candidates. The most ardent Hous-
tonites can hardly put forth the claim,
of climatic advantages for meeting
in late June in that city. Nor have
they claimed that altitude will Offset
the latitude. For Houston Is only fifty
three feet above sea level at the highest
point. But the o-hundred- thousand
dollar check overcame all other con-
siderations. and the party will assemble
on the twenty-sixth OF June. rain or
shine, hot or hotter. and will probably
pray for a quick decision.
If the climate should be such as to
impei speed of action, Houston will not
be in luck. 1t is paying rather high
fer the privilege of entertaining the
delegates and alternates. the news writ
ers and the boomers who will assemble

of Madison Square Garden have had
something to do with the generosity of

Delegates who had travelled one thou

as permanently assigned from the three
departments.
There is no sensible reason. as a
business proposition. why the Federal
Power Commission should have to bor-
row its personnel. for it is entirely self
supporting. The present pay roll OF
the personnel is about 100000 a year.
and the estimate for the more adequate
force is about 100000. The commits

Never once did He imply that their sit

in every life, no matter how gravely
