Vets Talk Beer

Drys Offer Fight

Exuberant vets are talking hopefully,

December session"
Their confident predictions. rejected

promised repeal Of constitutional pro-

Volstead act.
Then, even before all ballots were
counted, the beer cause received new
impetus from such Democratic leaders
as Senators Robinson Of Arkansas, the
Senate leader. and Harrison Of Missis-
sippi the Senate whip. Their voices
added volume to prediction forecast
of Speaker Garner, Vice President-elect,
that the lame-duck House will vote
beer.
In Chicago Representative Fred A.
Britten, one of the few Illinois Re-
publicans reelected, announced today
he would ask for vote on bill to

They mentioned the large majorities by
which the same Senators and Repre-

fused to vote beer last Spring.
A question mark to both sides was
President Hoover's attitude toward a
beer bill Without his signature, the
legislation would need a two-thirds
majority-the same proportion required
for action on the eighteenth amend
ment.
Senator Robinson included the con-
stitutional provision with beer when he
said he saw no reason" why the short
session should not consider prohibition
legislation. Harrison limited his state
ment to beer, as did Garner and Sen
ator Reed of Pennsylvania, admlnlstra-

OAXACA CITY. Mexico, November
10.-The exploration of an ancient
tunnel of the dead" under Monte AL
ban today was apparently helping solve
a Zapctec legend Of miracle armies that
appeared or disappeared at will.
The legend is that more than 500
years ago. during the Mixtec- -Zapotec
wars for control of this section of Mex
leo, there were many battles around
Monte Alban, the center of Zapotecan
culture
The tale relates that the zapctec
armies, when hard pressed, often dis
appeared as if by magic and reap
peared at the enemy's rear, or wherever
convenient to surprise him.
DR.. Alfonso Case, government ar
cheologist, discovered the tunnel Of
the dead" early this week, his third such
discovery in recent months.

MEXICAN eTUNNEL OF THE DEAD"
MAY SOLVE OLD DZAPOTEC LEGEND
Network of Underground Passages May Have Been Used
to Move Troops Secretly.

He noted today that the mouths OF
these tunnels are very difficult to find
and the tunnels themselves are very
small near their entrances, becoming
larger deep under the mountainside.
His tracings of the tunnels to date
indicate they may all be connected
under Monte Alban, and the whole ter
ritory literally honeycombed with these
engineering works Of the ancients. II
SO, the mystery Of their original use
would be solved and it would be clear
that they were used to transport Zapo-
tee troops in secret, so they could ap-
pear where needed.
The third tunnel, it was found yes
terday, was later used as burial tomb
for warriors of some race, probably the
Mixtecs who finally won Monte Alban.
Yesterday a skeleton was found, and
with it small quantities OF gold. red and
white onyx beads and an ornate fu-
neral urn. Other skeletons were found
earlier in the week.
