PREHISTORIC SOCIALISTS
FEASTED ON BARNACLES
BERKELEY, June 10.—A hundred
ancient villages, whose inhabitants
used communal houses and made bar
nacles an important part of their bill
of fare, have been found on Santa
Cruz island, off the coast of Southern
California, by an expedition from the
department of anthropogy of the Uni
versity of California.
The sites of some of these ancient
vilages were marked by accumula
tions of shells over fifteen feet in
thickness. Some were most pictur
esque in their position, on the tops of
high sea cliffs. Some of the house
pits were from thirty to thirty-^ve
feet in diameter, a great size J’&r a
California Indian house, and marking
communal life.
A survey trench is o be run
through one of the largest mounds on
the beach at Prisoner’s Harbor, the
chief landing place on the island.
This expedition marks the first scien
tifically systematic collection of an
thropological material ever made on
Santa Cruz Island.

HAVANA FOUND IN 1515
Havana, or San Cristobal de la Ha
bana, as it was originally named, was
the last of seven cities founded in
Cuba by he island's conqueror, the
Adelantado Diego Velasquez, the date
being July 25, 1515. Since that was
twenty-three years after the well
known Columbus date, there can’t be
many new world cities older than Ha
vana, assuming that most of the other
six in- Cuba have since disappeared.

GREAT TIME IN PORTLAND.
The largest school children’s con
cert given in Portland, says the Tele
gram, was that given at the recent
rose carnival when 2800 children sang
on Multnomah field, massed before
the grandstand. They had never been
together before, but had rehearsed in
sections.
Four high school orchestras, num
bering 100 pieces in all, played as one
orchestra and led the singing.

PAWNED HIS WIFE
(New York World)
In January, Spurgie Gates, then
jobless, faced tougn times and an un
paid board bill for himself and wife
at C. E. Brown’s, 1802 Bienville street.
Everything of value the couple pos
sesed had found its way into the
pawnshops, but still $34.00 was due
Brown, who was growing irate. Gates
figured tlpit he bad one more posses
sion that ho could pawn. It was his
spouse.
Would Brown take Mrs. Gates anu
hold her as security for the uncol
lected account? Sure! In fact, he
beamed upon Gates’ proposal. The
pawn ticket was duly made out, the
wife delivered to the landlord and
Gates set out withhigh resolves.
Today the husband had enough
money to get his wife out of pawn.
Brown asked for the return of his
pawn ticket before delivering his se
curity. Gates couldn’t find it. Tere
upon an argument ensued over the
question of principal and interest and
the two men fought while the woman
sat on her trunk, not knowing wheth
er she was liberated or still a hostage
Judge W. D. Chamberlain settled
the argument He allowed Brown $41
and Gates to receive back his pledge.
Then the judge fined the men $15
each and an equal share of court
costs for disturbing the peace.

A NUT FOR LAWYERS TO CRACK
(Galveston Tribune)
The court of criminal appeals is to
pass upon the question as to whether
or not Intoxicating liquor stolen in
prohibition territory is lawful proper
ty. This is probably the first time
that this court has been called upon
to determine this qusetion. A case
has just been appealed form Monta
gue county, in which the question is
raised. Appellant was given a term
of five years in the penitentiary on
cojrvictlon of robbery which resulted
in the theft of $192 worth of whisky.
Appellant held up a man and relieved
him of the liquor, the appellant assum
ing the role of an officer. He was sjjib
sequently arrested and tried and
given a term in the state prison. He
now raises the question that he can
not bo guilt^’ of the theft of the liquor
because liquor is prohibited in that
county; that it is unlawful property.

NEW ENGLAND SALMON
■* ^Springfield Republican)
The effort to stock the Merrimac
river with salmon is interesting folks
ong the banks of that river, which
:ike the Connecticut river, was once
noted for.its salmon fishing. A hatch
ery plant has been established in An
dover, on the- Shawsheen river, one of
the best tributaries of the Merrimac.
Salmon eggs from the Pacific coast
have been successfully hatched at the
date hatchery in Palmer, and it is pos
sible to obtain at small cost an unlim
ited supply of eggs from the Columbia
river in Oregorf. As soon as the time
comes to liberate the young salmon
they will he turned into the stream at
the rearing station and allowed to
drift down the Shawsheen into the
Merrimac and thence down twenty
five miles to the ocean. The moutl ,
of the Merrimac is entirely within
the boundaries of Massachusetts and
the net fishing can be roguiatod aim
controlled by the state. ,
The fish and game commission be
lieves that with modern methods it
Will be able to re-establish salmon in
our great rivers, to the great gain of
the state. People in this city and re
gion know how keenly Commissioner
Graham has been interested in mak
ing fish once again a readily access
ible food suply in Massachusetts.
The Andover Townsman, of which
John N. Cole, former speaker of the
state house of representatives, is ed
itor. says of this new enterprise In
his vicinage:
“The work here at Andover has had
the interest of the entire commission,
but has had the particular oversight
of Commissioner Graham, an enthusi
ast in his work, full of confidence
that some good results are to come,
and tremendously in earnest in his
search for real profit to the people of
the state from the work of the fish
and game commission. There isn't
any reason why good resuls shouldn't
come, it one may judge by the story
of success in other parts of the coun
try, and if earnest, intelligent and
well-directed efforts here are to have
their proper reward. This movement
means a lot to Andover, but means
fully as much to all the people of the
state."

UNIQUE RIVER BOAT
The Taliltau, the new Hudson’s Bay
Company's steamer for the Stikine,
arrived in porf yesterday on li£r way
north. She is in command of Captain
Gardner, one of the veterans of the
company.
The trip north was tedious, as the
vessel had to wait for favorable wea
ther conditions in making her cross
ing of the sounds. She is one of the
most remarkable boats ever seen here
She draws only eight inches when
light, practically Sitting on the sur
face of the water. She has three
steel rudders with triple steel pro
pelers. In shallow water the propel
lers can be raised and brought inside
their tunnels. The Tahltan is equip
ped with two forty h. p. distillate en
gines, which give her a speed of 12
knots an hour under perfect condi
tions. She is capable of carrying 25
tons of freight and will be a great ac

fHE SPEECH THAT I
ROOSEVELT TABOOED |
HUGHES SOUNDED SLOGAN TO 1
THE GRADUATING HIGH
SCHOOL GIRLS.
—
Justice Hughes' speech that has 1
been commented upon by nearly every ;
newspaper and prominent men of the i
country, and that was tabooed by Mr.
Roosevelt, was delivered at the Na
tional Cathedral school lawn, in Wash
ington, D. C„ in honor of the gradu
ates. Sounding the slogan that the |
(lag stands for America first, Justice j
Hughes said in part:
“This flag means m^re than asso
elation and reward,” said the justice, ;
“it is the symbol of our national un-;
:ty, our national endeavor, of our na-1
tional endeavor, of our national as
pirations. It tells you of the strug- j
gle for independence; of the Union '
preserved, of liberty and union one .
and inseparable; of the sacrifice of j
brave men and women to whom the ,
ideals and honor of this nation have ;
been dearer than life.
“It means America first; it means ;
an undivided allegiance; it^means j
America united strong and efficient,
equal to her task; it means that you
cannot be saved by the valor and de
votion of your ancestors; that to each
generation comes its patriotic duty;
and that upon your willingness to
sacrifice and endure, as those before
you have sacrificed and endured, rests
the national hope.
“It speaks of equal rights; of the
inspiration of free institutions exem
plified and vindicated; of liberty un
der law intelligently conceived and
impartiHlly administered. There is
not a thread in it but scorns self-in
dulgence, weakness and rapacity. It
is eloquent of our common interests,
outweighing all divergencies of opin
ion and of our common destiny.
“Given as a prize to those who have
the highest standing, it happily en
forces the lesson that intelligence and
zeal must go together; that discipline
must accompany emotion, and that
we must untimately rely upon en
lightened opinion.”
TORREON IS INFLAMED
AGAINST U. S. FORCES
El PASO, June 10.—State depart
ment officials today received from
Torreon confidential advices to the
effect that the Carranzists authorities
were flaming with war talk against
the American punitive expedition
that they call “American invasion.”
Only a handful of American citiz
ens are left in Torreon. Business in
this once thriving city is at a stand
still. Carranza money has rapidly de
clined in value. The prevalent quo
tation is about 5 cents on the peso.
The Carranza peso was quoted in
El Paso today at 6 cents gold. At
other points along the boarder it had
fallen as low as 4 cents.
Gen. Felipe Angeles, the former
federal artillerist, - who was Villa’s
right hand man during the greater
part of Villa’s military heyday, left
El Paso today for Kansas Ciy. Gen
eral Angeles said his errand was
purchase of materials for his farm
outside of El Paso. He asserted that
he was out of Mexican politics and
revolutions.
"The situation appears to be hope
less, I am sorry to say,” observed
Angeles.

KETCHIKAN WINS FIRST GAME.
Playing gilt-edged ball yesterday
the local boys beat Metlakatla in the
first game of the season, 7 to 3.
Ketchikan played in mid-summer
form and Erickson in tho box never
allowed a hit up to the fourth inning
when with a good lead he letT up a
little, and Metlakatla scored two runs.
He was relieved by Williams in the
seventh, who kept the hits scattered
in sticii a way that they did not: score
on him.
Williams, for Metlakatla, also pitch
ed good ball as did Leask, who reliev
ed him, but the poor support given
them made it impossible for thoir
team to win.
Peterson, formerly of Skagway,
played left field for the locals and ex
cepted all chances besides batting
well, Stott also a new man, showed up
to advantage behind the bat and at
the stick. While the old guard were
there as fast as ever.
