tai in 1853, and on February 20

Cabildo, or city council. Last year
Cuzco was named the archeologl-
raj capital of South America, by
law after recommendations Of the
25th congress of Americanists at
La Plata. Argentina. in 1882.
A Peruvian institute of archeol-
opy was authorized by congress,
and DIR. Luis E. Calvarcel, direc-
tor of the national museum, was
commissioned in November to be-
gin excavations in preparation for
the celebrations.
Hundreds of workmen began
digging at the fortress of Sachsa-
huaman, overlooking the former
imperial city. Walls, buildings,
conduits. the base of tower and
other ruins were uncovered in two
months. enormous monolits, a Sc
ries of triple walls of the fortress
were revealed on the north side
above the Saphio river.
Professor Hiram Bingham 20
years ago declared the fortress
the most wonderful achievement
of ancient man in the two Ameri-
cas-. Aqueducts and military de-
fenses have been uncovered, and
authorities believe the findings
may revise beliefs on the organi-
cation of the Inca empire.
Ten vaulted inches in excellent
condition were recently found,
with a narrow stairway leading
perhaps to a place of worship on
the hilltop.
The monolithic ruins evidently
are centuries older than previous

no indication in Inca records of

debris from the Incas themselves,

hide from the Spanish. They may
have been built by race preced-
ing the Incas by centuries. The
stone work varies amazingly in
quality, indicating early master
builders and later patch work.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By
Ike Walton, Redivivus

That chap Charlie Johnson must
be some man.
Primarily he is state treasurer:
Secondarily he is a member OF
seven of the biggest boards and
commissions in the state. He
ought to be governor before long.
If he can run the treasury, pay
the teachers, pay interest on
bonds, direct local government,
keep Jeffress in good humor, as
sess everybody right, keep schools
full, save everybody money, keep
public buildings and grounds o.
K, counsel the council of state,
and sink the sinking fund, he
ought to make his cousin Hugh S.
sit up and pay attention.
He is a good-looking hombre
too. If | were his good lady, I'd
be jealous of all those activities.
Where was he educated? His col
lege ought to use him for public
ity. They say Julius Caesar could
do seven things at one time and
all we'll; but Julius did not have
all those boards to bother him;
he just bossed around generally.
Woodrow Wilson said boards
were long, narrow, and wooden;

ages to straddle all seven at one
time.
He is also a young man. He
has to be. An old fellow would
be too fat to squeeze between
those planks or too lean to sit on
'em.
Charles M. also has poise. He
couldn't keep his seven BRAIN
compartments separate if he did
not. He is not one-track mind
like Woodrow; he is a septagonal
trash-mover. He also has a way
of seeing through machine politi-
clans and of freezing them into
lev blockheads; they are safer
that way.
Don't break down, Charlie. We
are going to need big men in
North Carolina when NRA SIM
mers down and people get tired
of seeing Uncle Sans finger in
every pie and begin to remember
that there are such things as
states in this union. The trouble
has been that we have been let
ting Sam do it too much. Now he
has passed the buck to Hugh S.;
but we have our Charles M. and
here's hoping he will live long
and keep strong and be on the
job long after the national bally-
hoo and hysteria has become a
vanished nightmare. and old Tar
Heel Carrie will be still carrying
on.

D. C.'S SURPLUS
INVESTMENT
RULED OUT
Commissioners To Ask For
Authority At Forthcoming
Session of Congress

The District Commissioners to-
day disapproved the idea of in
vesting the Districts surplus
cash in short term Treasury GER
tificates.
In a letter to Senator William
H. King, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, Commissioner
Hazen, chairman of the board,
commented on the proposal Of
Rufus S. Lusk, secretary Of the
Washington Taxpayers Protective
Association, who has been active
in agitating the subject.
The Commissioners, however,
feel there is not sufficient time
during the balance of the present
session of Congress to give
proper consideration to the mat
ter. At the next session of
Congress, however, the Commis-
sioners intend to press for legis-
lation along this line.
Cash balances of the District
of Columbia some times run as
high as 10 million dollars which
is approximately IS million more
than the day-to-day needs. The
extra amounts not needed for
immediate purposes could be in
vested in Government securities
under the proper laws.

FAILS
IN TRY To BALK
GAS HEARING
Chairman EIgen Rules Case
Must Go on Despite
GotWaIS' Absence

Gas company lawyers made two
unsuccessful efforts to delay the
valuation proceedings in progress
today before the Public Utilities
Commission. Stoddard Stevens,
jr.. chief counsel for the gas com
pany, objected to the absence Of
Engineer Commissioner Gotwals,
who also is a member of the
Utilities Commission, and who is
absent because Of illness.
Mr.. Stevens argued that the
cross examination of Chief Valua-
tions Accountant Bachman would
be so important as to require the
presence Of at least two members
of the commission.
Chairman Elgen is the sole
member sitting in the gas case,
owing to the fact that Vice Chair
man Keech withdrew yesterday.
Chairman Elgen did not agree
with Mr.. Stevens and Instructed
the hearing to proceed.
At this point William Roberts,
peoples counsel, announced that
he was trying to bring into the
hearing Andrew Sangster of New
York, and Charles Pillsbury Of
Minneapolis, engineers who had
aided in making up a previous
valuation of the gas company
properties.
Mr.. Stevens then suggested stop
ping the hearings entirely until
these two experts could appear.
Chairman Elgen, however, would
not agree to a delay and the cross
examination of Chief Accountant
Buchanan proceeded.

Charges of unfair and under
handed tactics" were today hurled
against a minority faction Spon-
soring one of the opposing lists of
candidates for official positions
with the District of Columbia
division. Young Democratic Clubs
of America, which holds its an
nual elections tonight at the Will
lard Hotel.
Howard j. Stafford, in charge
of public relations in the cam
paign of a majority group in the
organization, made the accusa-
tions against the minority faction,
stating that in furthering their
nominees the smaller group had
resorted to false charges against
the larger groups slate.
Victory Seen
Prediction was made that the
majority faction, headed by Major
Raymond ]. Walter as a presi-
Dental candidate, would gain a
three-to-one victory among the
1400 clubs members over the min
ority slate, whose presidential
nominee is Goodwin Chase, of
California, an employe of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
Mr.. Stafford, in answering as
sertions that Major Walter had
used his position as an NRA Of
ficial to further his candidacy,
stated that Major Walter had
been drafted by the majority fac.

ton and was reluctant to run.
He pointed out that Major
Walter is a born and bred Wash
ingtonian, a member of the local
bar. The position of president OF
the club should go to a Wash
ingtonian, Mr.. Stafford claimed,
rather than a Californian.
Statement Hit
Mr.. Stafford stated that an
instance of "underhanded tao.
tics" is the statement given to
newspapers that Major Walters
post as the head of NRA com.
pliance for the District had been
abolished. Check-up at the NRA
revealed that this is completely
untrue.
Major Walter was given his
position after seven months of
volunteer service with Blue Eagle
forces. He has been backed and
praised by both capital and labor
here, being sponsored by officials
of the Board of Trade, Chamber
OF Commerce, Central Labor
Union, etc.
In answering accusations that
the majority slate had brought
pressure to bear upon NRA and
PWA employees to vote for Major
Walter, Mr.. Stafford asserted
that these charges are principally
applicable to the minority group,
which is afraid of losing the
fight.

HURT IN YEAR
Secretary Opens Farley Here
Attended BY About 1000
Safety Experts

Deploring the appalling, de.
structive loss in human life and
property" traffic accidents, Sec
retary of Commerce Daniel C.
Roper today demanded immediate
action to curb fatalities in open
ing the fourth National Confer
ence on Street and Highway
Safety in the United States Cham
ber Of Commerce building.
1000 Experts Attend
Before approximately 1000 traf
fic experats from all sections o!
the country, Secretary Roper de
clared national uniformity in traf'
fic laws is lone of the dominant
needs in our present unsatisfactory
traffic situation" explaining:
"The automobile is a new and
beneficent instrument of health,
enjoyment and utility, con.
verted through misuse into an
agency dealing death and de,
structiOn on our streets and
highways on a scale shocking
to the moral sense of every nor
NAL human being.
death on wheels has become
one of the most shocking and
terrifying evils in the life of our
nation. Over 10000 people are
killed in the United States each
year as result of traffic acci-
dents and approximately 100000
are injured. The loss measured
in terms of dollars and cents is
greater than the yearly cost of
our entire public school system"
Secretary Roper emphasized
the need for the Federal Govern
ment to prompt the formulation
Of national programs to insure uni
form traffic legislation through
out the country.
Model Code Discussed
Following Mr.. Roper's address,
the conference settled down to dis
cussion of a model vehicle code
drafted over a period of two years
by a special committee.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the proposed code pro.
vides that all fines and forfeitureS
collected as a result of traffic
violations should be deposited in
a special fund to be known as
the highway improvement fund.-"
This money should be used, ac-
cording to the code, exclusively
for the construction, maintenance
and repair Of :Glblic highways,
bridges and structures or for the
installation and maintenance of
traffic control devices.
An amendment to the code for
licensing moto- car dealers ano
wreckers provides that all dealers
in automobile tires must also be
licensed.
