RAIL HEAD SAYS UNITY
TO CUT WAGE LACKING
Southern Line President Tells
Stockholders Pay Slash
Untimely.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. october 14.-Fair-
fax Harrison, president of the Southern
Railway Co., announced to stockholders
yesterday at their annual meeting that
there is lack of necessary unanimity
among executives of the railway to effect
a wage reduction among employees OF
the company.
Mr.. Harrison said a group of seven
executives, of which he is a member
had considered the wage question for
several months. and that some members
are of the opinion that the present is
not the time to bring on a congressional
discussion of the matter.
THE railroads can be operated on a
paying basis if given a free hand, Mr..
Harrison said. He added that one road
cannot initiate wage reduction nego-
tiations, but that such movement must
come from all.
Guy Gary, Walter S. Case and
Richard S. Reynolds. all of New York
and Henry W. Miller of the District
of Columbia were reelected to the di-
rectorate for three-year terms.
Mr. Harrison declined to discuss the
dividend question, asking the stockhold-
ers to continue to have confidence in
their directors. He said the company
will not earn its fixed charges in 1881.

RUINS OF FOUR TOWNS FOUND
ON SAME SITE IN ARIZONA

peoples. The site, commanding a wide
view OF the surrounding country, had
been favorable for human occupancy
from the time the country first was in
habited. He confined his work to ex-
cavating the bottom two layers.
At the bottom of the debris he found
ruins OF pit houses, essentially cellars
covered with timber roof, and skeletal
remains of small-boned, narrow
headed people. These were the ancient
basketmakers who flouished in the
Southwest before the coming of the
apartment house jewellers. These pit
houses were built at about the begin
ming of the Christian era. DR.. Roberts
believes that it will be possible to date
them exactly because in two cases the
timber roofs Of the excavations had
been caved in by fire, which did not
entirely destroy the wood. The old
timbers are still so well preserved that
experts can determine the exact year
they we're cut from the forest by the
rings" denoting the annual growth OF
the trees. DR.. Roberts and his aides
dug out Is of these pit houses. The
basketmaker layer of debris, because
of the peculiar nature OF the houses,
was very thin.

people, racially quite different from the

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Ruins of four ancient towns on top of
each other, representing four distinct
civilizations" extending about 1000
years into the past, were discovered this
Summer by DR.. F. H. H. Roberts, jr., of
the Smithsonian Institution, who has
just returned TO Washington after four
months in the field.
This site was found on top of low
mesa in Eastern Arizona to which the
Smithsonian archeologist was attracted
by the standing ruins of two large stone
buildings, about 1000 years old, ad-
ijacent TO a small village of Navajo In
dams.
The ruined buildings, he found, were
pueblos built during the so-called
pueblo three" period in the pre-his-
toric Southwest when the Indians
reached their highest civilization, few
centuries before the coming of the
Spaniaros. These in themselves were
imposing structures. The largest was
100 feet long and 80 feet wide, with
parts of the third story still standing,
The other was 100 feet long and about
so feet wide, with great ceremonial
chamber, so feet in diameter, in the
center.
DR.. Roberts found that these great
buildings, all that were left OF large
settlement, were built on about IA feet
of ruins and debris left by still earlier

RECLUSE TO SEEK
"REST OF Money
Mrs. Ida Wood Says She Will
Continue Search as Soon
as Ankles Get Better.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october i4.-Just as
soon as her ankles get better, Mrs Ida
Wood intends to go out and look LOT
the rest of my money"
The folds of her old fashioned gowns
and hiding places in her hotel room al
ready have yielded a fortune in cur
rency and bonds-nearly million DOL
lars. The 70-pound 93-year-old lady
insists however, that there is more.
Her ankle weakness, physicians said,
Is due to lack of nutrition during the
months she lived frugalfy in her SIM
pie quarters with bundles Of $4,000
banknotes. diamonds and other costly
Jewels within arms reach.
Mrs. Wood. after years of living on
such a slender budget as to call for
the purchase of a single egg at time,
would be dismayed at the amount al
ready expended in her behalf since the
court has taken over her affairs.
Bills filed with the court and ap-
proved it was reported today, include
a physicians fee Of $4,000, and $1,000
to a detective agency which has main
tanned guards at the hotel since last
March.
The bond of Mrs. Woods guardian,
Otis Wood, was raised from S22o,ooo 10
Sl,OoO.00O yesterday, after other claim
ants to relationship had filed protests.
Wood is a nephew. The opposing fac
ton is headed by Mrs. William G.
Shields. a step granddaughter.
Five trunks belonging to Mrs. Wood
were opened yesterday. and another
small fortune in gems was found. There
were watches set with rose diamonds,
rare necklaces and heavy bracelets.
The most valuable jewelry of all
the diamond necklace Mrs. Wood wore
at the Infanta Eulalia ball in Madison
Square Garden in 1893-haS not been
found. Other trunks remain to be
opened. and it may be in one Of them;
or it may be that it is concealed in
some unbound cache which Mrs. Wood
had in mind when she said she would
go out and look for the rest Of my
money as soon as my ankles get well.

basketmakers, whose skulls frequently
were fiattened in the back because OF
the practice of attaching babies to
cradle boards. Usually there Is q sharp
differentiation between the basket
makers, and these sturdier invaders
who began to build large structures
Here, however, the two peoples seem to
have succeeded each other without any
interval and may actually have lived
in the ancient town at the same time
Roberts found several instances where
the invaders had simply settled down
in the abandoned pit houses, altering
them slightly in accordance with their
own architectural ideas.
On top of this were the pueblo
two" and pueblo three" ruins, exca-
walton of which was reserved for an
other year. The site Is of special i'm
,,ortance because of its exceptional size
800 yards long by 200 yards wide
strung along the top OF the ridge-and
because of the continuous chronology
cal sequence. 1t represents a contin-
uously ascending civilization from the
crude beginnings to the golden age
of ancient North America.
At the peak of its culture the vii
lage apparently was abandoned sud-
denly. There is no trace of the pueblo
four" culture, q considerably degener-
ated form which was flourishing when
the Spanish explorers came to the
Southwest.
Inlaid Tobacco Pipe.
Besides the skeletons recovered from
the As graves that were opened-in
many cases only small bits Of bone
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-10-14

DR.. Roberts found numerous bone and
stone implements, arrowheads. axes,
pottery, knives, etc. The most priced
specimen was clay tobacco pipe in
laid with turquoise, evidently the pos
session Of some great chief of the first
invasion of the Pueblo peoples. From
the same period came delicately
carved stone efiigy Of a small bird, pre-
sumably of q religious nature. Four
strings of beads were recovered, about
1000 beads In all, together with the
ancient clay pots whose designs are
of great value to Psychologists in de-
termining culture sequences.
Because Of the large size Of the an
cient town 1t Is estimated that about
three years will be required to excavate
it completely and the Smithsonian In
stitution plans to follow up this work.
Roberts this Summer located the COR
ners and angles of the buildings SO that
work can be started without delay next

Nc Kinley Day

Governor Smith has issued a pro-
clamation calling upon the people OF
the State to observe, January 10Th, as
Mckinley Day. The date chosen is
the anniversary of the birth OF the
martyred President.
The proclamation reads in part as
follows:
Whereas il is proper that an appro-
pirate monument be erected over his
grave at Canton, as national men,
orial to him, and as an expression of
patriotic esteem of the people of the
United States, end BELIEVING the most
fitting celebration of his birth at this
time is to further this work of love,
suggest that the people of our State
unite with the people of other states on
that day in making contributions to
this cause, and especially that the
children observe the day at the public
schools, etc."
The Importance WHICH the movement
for a national memorial has assumed
shows that the people throughout the
entire country are responding liber-
ally to the call.

be observed as holiday but that the
people shall do honor to the memory
of the late President.
