NEW THEORIES ABOUT ANCIENTS ARRIVE YEARLY Evidences of High Civilization Found in Relics of Southwest Indians. RESEARCH FASCINATES By FREDERICK J. HASKIN. WASHINGTON, July 19.—“ Digging up the past” is no mere figure of speech down In the southwest, from which news has recently reached the Smithsonian in- j stitution here of two new and interest- j ing archoeologlcal finds, both of which were literally dug up. A temple of ancient fire worship, which seems to indicate that the prehistoric in- j habitants of the southwest reached a j higher degree of civilization than had j formerly been supposed, has been un- j earthed and studied in detail by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes. chief of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian institution. And two skeletons, those of a boy and j of a girl, have been found buried in the j ruins of a stone house, probably of pre- j historic origin. These remains have been shipped to the ; national mesum here, where they will j be carefully studied. They may shed new light on the race | and physical character of the early In- j habitants of the region. This digging up of the long-buried past seems a futile and perhaps an un- j ineresting occupation to those who have never followed or studied it. but as a : matter of fact it has the highest scien- , tlflc value and it exercises a peculiar fascination. Nearly every one who goes to the sonthwest with the slightest bent for scientific investigation falls under the spell of the country’s romantic past, and develops something of a mania for hunting the remains of it. HERE IS WHERE THE PAST LIVES. The country is remarkably well adapt- j cd to the Indulgence of this taste. It Is extremely dry—the greater part, of it a desert—so that in the first place j bones, pottery and other ancient remains tend to be preserved, whereas in a more j moist country they would disintegrate. In the second place, there Is po heavy j growth of vegetation to cover these traces of ancient human life. It is a common occurrence when riding across the mesa lands of this country to come to a slight mound of earth dotted with bits of broken pottery. This, you may be sure, is the remains of an Indian dwelling abandoned long j ago. It may be only a few hundred years , old. or it may be a thousand or more. If you dismount and dig about in the : ruins with a sharp stick, you will bring to light more pottery and probably also j stone arrow heads and other flint “artefacts,” as the ethnologists call themThese bits of a departed human era j will surely inflame your imagination if j yon have any. Tou can not refrain from trying to re-j construct in your mind the lives of the people who made and used these things. I Os course, the thorough exploration of j one of these ancient ruins Is great work, j and unless you are either wealthy or very fond es manual labor, you are atp to do the reconstruction exclusively with your j imagination instead of with a shovel and pick, which is the really scientific way. Then, too, if you do go in for the ‘ heavy work of excavation, the probabil- j Ities are that you are only delving Into , a habitation like those of the present j Pueblo Indians, and not more than a few hundred years old. ! You may recover a few articles of some interest or value—a perfect bit ot pot-, tery, perhaps, or some turquoise ornaments—but the very ancient ruins are necessarily the rarest. SCIENCE HAS FASCINATION, None the less, if you have once delved into thejiast on your own account, yon can understand the keen fascination which has kept the scientists busy for years, reconstructing in their imaginations the lives of these long dead peoples, trying to make an hypothesis that will fit the facts. In doing this they have told themselves and the publje some beautiful fairy tales. For example, when the numerous “cliff dwellings" in Colorado and New Mexico were discovered the scientists proceeded to reconstruct a whole race of cliff dwelfers. Solely because the doors of these dwellings were very small, so that a man of ordinary height had to get down on . his hands and knees to enter, they advanced the theory that the cliff dwellers had been a race of pygmies, who had aubsequently become extinct. This charming idea became very popular, was woven into fiction and Is still believed by many noa-scientlflc persons. Subsequent scientific Investigation completely exploded it. It showed that > the people who occupied the cliff dwell- j ings were In all probability racially | Identical with the Pueblo Indians who now inhabit the region and that they built their habitations under and against enemies who were pressing them hard, and they made their doorways small for the same reason. They entered on hands and knees just as the subsequent Investigators did, 3nd afterward rolled bowlders into the openings to keep out intruders. Bandelier. one of the greatest etbnolo gists and archaeologists that America ; has produced, did most of the work of refuting the pygmy cliff dweller theory j and showing the racial identity of the I ancient with the present inhabitants of | the southwest. He wrote a remarkable novel, "The ; Delight-Makers,” depleting the life of these ancient Americans, which Is perhaps the only one of the many romances ; based on prehistoric America which has any claim to scientific consideration. NEW LIGHT ON PROBLEM. The theory advanced by Bandelier was . ’ that all the sedentary Indians of the southwest from Colorado far down into Mexico were of the same racial stock anil had attained about the same degree of, civilization (or rather barbarism). Thus the wonderful romance which ; Prescott wrote in Uls “Conquest of Mexico” was shown to be romance and nothing more. It is probable that the Aztec culture which Cortez overcame was fundamentally similar to that of the Pueblo Indiana in New Mexico today, but founded ■ on a much greater population and somewhat greater wealth. The recent discovery of Dr. Fewkes, however, may make necessary yet another revision of our Ideas of the prehistoric southwest. While it presumably does nothing to reffute the theory of the racial Identity of the prehistoric and present Inhabitants of the region, it would seem to indicate that the prehistoric Inladns did have u somewhat higher civillzattuu thau those now living. For what Dr. Fewkes has found is a large building, constructed of excellent masonry, which apparently existed for the sole purpose of fire worship, as indicated by an enormous firepit in the center and stone benches for worshippers all around the walls. Fire worship in some form is common to nearly all primitive peoples, and there j are forms of it among the living Pueblo ' Indians. The living Indians also have small clr- ; cular or oval subterranean chambers for worship, but none of them have any such elaborate “churches" as this one. The construction of such a large and elaborate bnilding solely for the purpose , of worship is said by ethnologists to he j an unmistakable indication of higher civ- i ilization than had been attained by any j ol the southwestern Indians in historic - tiniPS. _ *

Wild Night at Ravenswood ‘Shiner’ Middaugh’s Party Winds Up With Mauled Officials and Jail .

It was a wild night at Ravenswood, the ! classic little summer resort north of Broad Ripple park on the east bank of White river, and the campers who were ! spending their vacation there In search ; of rest did not find rest last night. Everett (Shiner) Mlddaugb, 52, ,of | 716 North Capitol avenue, and Russell : Arnold, 22, of 1014 East Market street, I are in the Marlon county Jail today fol- ; lowing a conviction In court of Justice of the I’eace Charles Hanlein at Ravenswood at 2 o'clock this morning, i The arrests are said to be the beginning of a clean-up campaign instituted by law abiding persons living In the neighborhood who are opposed to the mjnner in which the camps are being conducted. It might be mentioned that Justice of the Peace Hanleiu also is wearing a pair of black eyes today and that Robert Magill, deputy marshal of the town of Ravenswood, appears ns though he had ' been fighting in the Belgian trenches. According to reports the excitement i began at 11 o'clock Sunday night. There was a party at "Shiner's" cof- | tage and about sixteen men aud women are said to have made so much noise ! that the other campers notified Deputy Marshal Magill, who went to the Middaugb cottage to quiet the party. AND THEN THE FCN STARTED. Magill found It necessary to make arrests and then the fun started. The house was surrounded by 200 men, 'women anl children who saw their deputy marshal pounded, mauled and mussed up. and then Squire Ilanlein appeared. "1 atn an officer of the law," he said. “Where is your badge?" yellel one of the battlers. Hanlein did not have a star and he was beaten about twice as bad as the i deputy marshal. A series of calls were sent to Sheriff | Robert Miller for help, but tbe sheriff • was so bnsy guarding the jail to prej vent any more of his prisoners escaping j (none have escaped since the twenty-four got out two weeks ago) that he could spare no deputies. He told tbe police about the trouble, ■ and Motor Policemen Hudson and Ln- --| ders were sent to Ravenwood. | Frank Swieltz, marshal of the town of Ravenswood, who for some unknown reai son had not been in the battle, told the | two policemen tbe trouble and the police went to the Mlddaugb cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Middaugh were at home but their guests had disappeared. Both were arrested. Charges against Mrs. Middaugh latar ! were dismissed in court. SHOT FI RED, FUGITIVE PINCHED. Arnold, one of Middaugh’s guests, was arrested after a pursuit through a swamp during which Deputy Marshal McGill fired a shot at him. When Middaugh was brought before 'Squire Hanlein t 2 o'clock this morning be looked at the squire's blackened and bruised face. “I can't get justice here," be said.

Tlie "barrel" was dedicated with the aaststaneo of Frederick E.

Since that time the board of works lias been so busy patching the streets and then replacing the patches that apparently it has not found time to replace the “temporary" walk with one better fitting to the surroundings.

“Ten dollars and cost* for contempt of court," remarked the Judge. “Shiner" tossed a clgarct on the judge's bench and laughed and said something about a "kangaroo court." The squire mentioned another $lO and costs for a second contempt of court.

No papers were sent to the jail to in dleate that Squire Hanlein inforced the contempt of court penalities handed to “Shiner" during tbo trial.

CAMPAIGN HEAD IS BIG QUESTION FOR DEMOCRATS (Continued From Page One.) Adoo at San Francisco called upon tbe governor during bis stay here and pledged themselves to “go the limit” to further his candidacy. SHEPARD TO TAKE STUMP. Considerable importance was also attached by Cox's friends to an agreement reached between the governor and Senator Morris Shepard of Texas, the principal champion of the prohibition cause in congress, whereby the senator promised to take the stump for the democratic ticket. < Cox denied, however, he had dlscusswl the moot question of the modification of tbe Volstead act with either the president of Senator Shepard. Further evidences of the “harmony ! program” mapped out by the president 1 and Cox and other democratic leaders ] were seen In Gov. Cox's’ statements that he had reached no decision as to vilio he desired to he chairrqan of the national >ommttt n e during his campaign. It was learned that Ed H. Moore. Cox's’ convention manager, had said he j would not accept the chairmanship. It also was stated that Homer S. Cum- i cilngs would not he re-elected when the national committee meets at Columbus, 0., tomorrow and that whoever was selected would be one satisfactory to Cov, Moore and former Congressman George White of Ohio, another of Cox's’ con- 1 volition managers. CONFERENCE m HELD. The conference on the whitehonse por- | tiro, held Sunday morning, was said by Gov. Cox to have been devoted prln- | cipally to discussion of the league of nations. The statement Issued by the president follows; “The Interview was in every respect j most satisfactory and gratifying. I ; found what I Indeed already knew and what Gov. Cox has let the whole world I 1 know Iri his speeches, that he and I were absolutely at one with regard to the great Issue of the league of nation)) I and that he is ready to be the champion ] In every respect of the honor of the na- : tlon and the secure peace of the world. Gov. Cox will have the vigorous support j of an absolutely united party and, 1 am i confident, also of t nn absolutely united I nation.” Gov. Cox’s statement said;

‘From every viewpoint the meeting was delightful. The president was at his best- He readily recalled any detail Inquired about as bearing upon the International situation and enlivened the conference with humorous references. We are agreed as to the meaning arid sufficiency of tbe democratic platform and the duty of the party in the face of threatened bad faith to the world in the name of America. Hi* thought is still of the war and (he pledges we gave to those who sacrificed. One easily see* that as the leader of the nation, who asked for the nation’* sons nnd resources upon a very distinct understanding and obligation, be la resolved that the faith shill be kept. To this his thought and life are dedicated. What Mr. Wilson promised. I shall, if elected, endeavor with all my strength to give." Mr. Roosevelt's statement said: "I wish that every American could have been a silent witness to the meeting between these two great men. Their splendid acettd, and their high purpose are an inspiration. I need only to add that tuy regret in leaving my post under Freaident Wilson is softened by tbe knowledge that my new commander-in-chief will be his wholly worthy successor.” There were no attendants at the con-ferem-e but Mr* V ‘lson, who Joined the president ond his visitor at luncheon. The portico, where the president has received many visitors Blnee his illness, overlooks the Washington monument and whltehousu gardens.
