MEXICAN INDIANS GUARD REMAINS
OF ZAPOTEC ANCESTORS VILLAGE
Hostility of Native Tribes Prevents Government Archie.
ologists' Removal of Treasure From Buried Ruins.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OAXACA CITY, Mexico, January 10
The governments excavations in Monte
Alban, where the richest finds on the
continent were reported during the past
year, have aroused sleepy Indians in
the region.
The archeologists, working under Prof.
Alfonso Caso it was learned today, are
receiving a cool welcome in many
places. Indians refused to let them
remove carved stone slabs from the
modern Zapotecan village Of Zaachila,
few miles south Of Monte Alban.
An American engineer said Indians
sitting on walls of an ancient city,
with rifles across their knees. watched
him suspiciously as he worked over the
site Of q supposed buried treasure.
Ancient treasures have become the
common legend of every Indian ruin
In Mexico, particularly since the dis
covery q year ago Of q valuable COL
lection of gold ornaments and jewels in
the Mixtec Tomb of Monte Alban.
More treasures have been uncovered
since then in white Mountain" home
of Mixtec and Zapotec civilizations.
Brilliant colored paintings, described ~

the most important find by Prof. Case,
were uncovered last November.
The excavations were resumed this
month with the finding of many finely
carved jades. Ten tombs are being in
vestigated on the Fortress Mountain.
The stone slabs which the Indians
refused to let 60 were from an Indian
city which was the capital of the
Zapotec kingdom when the Spaniards
came in 1921, on the site Of modern
Zaachila. Some Of the carved slabs
were in the modern village pavement
and others In the masonry Of an old
church.
The suspicious feelings aroused in the
Indians have brought to the surface
heretofore submerged folklore.
The inhabitants of Tilantongo, for
mer capital Of an ancient Mixtec city
state, in the heart of the mountains
and far OF the new road through the
region, claim to know all about the
treasure found In Monte Alban last
year. They say the burial occurred
after the Spaniards came and that the
large white disks Of shell placed in the
hollow Of q certain skull were put
there so the Mixtec chief might never
have to look, in life or death, in this
world or In the next, on the gods Of the
white men,"

HOUSE IS DEBATING
.BAN0N REGR0UP|NG
Democrats Predict Hoover
Plan Will Be Blocked After
Limited Debate.

Definite predictions by Democrats
that the resolution to block President
Hoover's regrouping plan would be ap-
proved came today as the House started
debating the measure.
Chairman Cochran OF the Expendi-
lures Committee, author Of the resolu-
tion, was one of those who made the
prediction.
Our majority may not be too COM
Fforssble. but we'll pass the resolution. =
he said.
BY an announced vote of 1913 to I'll
the House adopted a rule to bring up
the Cochran resolution. The test vote
also indicated the resolution would be
adopted. Two hours debate on the res
olution was then begun
The Democrats have bound them
selves in caucus TO support the resolu-
ton. Republican leaders said the vote
would be along party lines.
One hours debate was provided for
as the House took under consideration
the special rule which would make in
order Chairman Cochran's resolution
which "disapproves" of President Hoo
yers reorganization program. After the
House has acted favorably upon the
special rule there will be two hours of
debate upon the resolution itself.
Purnell Indiana Republican, the first
urged that no politics participate in its
consideration. He argued that no man
was better equipped to say what Gov
eminent activities could be consolidated
to save governmental funds than PreSi-
dent Hoover.
1T seems to me the President -elect
would want to consider these recon-
mendations, bearing in mind that he
has the authority to accept or reject
them," he said.
Representative Bankhead of Alabama
spoke first for the Democrats He said
that since the new President would be
charged with the results of the con-
Solidations. the instrumentalities to
achieve them should be placed in his
hands.
IF there Is anything in the next
Presidents record showing him pecu-
liarly qualified for this work, I would
like to be advised Of it," said Smell of
New York, the Republican floor leader.
IF during the last four years as chief
executive Of the State of New York he
has ever separated one deserving Demo-
crat from the pay roll, I would like to
know about it."
Referring to the Democratic plan to
give Mr. Roosevelt broad powers of
reorganization, Smell asked Democrats:
do you mean to tell me he, being
a new man in Office and with new men
under him, will be as qualified to
reorganize as q man who is experienced
and who Is going out of office and has
no political irons In the fire?
You are going against every political
current in the country at this time.
You are going against the wishes Of
the people and you are doing it for
political purposes"
Representative SABBATH. Democrat. OF
Illinois, retorted that there is not one
cent of economy in these proposals and
the Democratic party will make good
on its promise to the country to re-
organize the Government and save
money"
Party feeling was plainly evident dur
ing the debate as frequent questions
were put to the speakers.

During an overnight stay he
will make an attack on them in

GARDEN PAINS

Garden work is admitted to be Il
pleasing and fruitful occupation for
spare hours. We all like the fresh
ly grown beans and peas and par
snips, we delight in the cheerful
painting of the tulips and the roses.
But alas, the blisters. the aches in
the back. the sweats of July. These
things are not so popular.
Too many people in Delaware and
elsewhere have become soft. so that
anything more energetic THAN sit
ting in an office chair with nice
cushion has looked labOriOus.
We need hands too well hardened
for blitters, and backs too Timber for
creaking. In the garden we get ap-
petites that say H"urray" when din
ner is called, and digestions that
laugh at pills. Our blossoming home
places viii look so handsome that
we could sell them at u profit any
day, only they are too dear for that.
