RAiLWAY FROM HUDSON fill TO SOUTH IERO

Project First Formulated 1902 Now Approaching Realization.

l'y .'V'latf-i rr: Ni:V YORK, Feb. ! 4. Realization of the drim of a railroad from "Hudson Pay to Patnprnnia and Huf.noi Alrew" ha.s bcon brought nearer a a -result of the recent PanAmerican financial conference In Washington, nccordlr.se to Charles M. Peeper who, in 1?03. wa appointed by Pres't Kooev !t undi-r authority conrfs-H to visit the .several countries fron Mexico southward ind report on the project.

A Journey by rail from the Arctic i

circl to th? tip ofouth America I approximately 10,000 miles could U rnad under Krrd tralllc condi j tion, it has been estimated, In 16 o J

IS days. At present 2 4 day-? arc required for the 5,fc71-mile sea voyfrom New York to the capital of Artentina.

This dream of a trans-hemisphere; trunk line, running almost th en- J tire lenKth of the two American con- ( tincnt?, was horn In the brain of j Illnton Rowan Helper, a s-outhern ' v-rjter and fnrnvir United States con. oil In South America, more than L 0 jr.irs ago. The late United States Sen. Henry fiassaway Davis of "West Yirvlnia. a practical railroad builder. aw Us feasibility, and, with Andrew

'arnrlf and other wealthy American, pave the idea a fresh impetus. Jamca (J. Ulalne also once advocated it. lVoJert Formed in 1H02. The project howev r. r celved : i r.-t definite form at the International American conference held in Mexico City in 1902 when It appointed a p rmancnt Tan-American railway committer composed of prominent iltlenzs of the United States and diplomatic oillciala of Iitln-Ameri-can countries resident in Washington. Former Se.i. Davis and Mr. CarTejle were members of It. Iiter, s the nvoy of the president and t'.-.c representative of the committee. Mr. Pepper went to Central America :-mi South America, and. after visitthe various countries for a year. -turn l and made a report which '..s been the basis of subsequent - i- lesion and legislation. Th general Idea outlined In the 1. pper report was that the different South and Central Am'Tlcan nations ' i their railway construction should nve f-pecial attention to the links in through Inter-contlnental trunk north and south which, ulti-T.iat-dj-, would be Joined. Attention ...is also given to th building of ii-nr.ch lines and "feeders?," cspec--..k'.ly in S"uth America, on the h.i.ry tliat In time there would be through lines from the Atlantic to l'uoi:ic which would form tntcr- - "tin;; systems. Snbseriuent Pan-American con- ? rences heM at Ttlo Janeiro and IT-ieno-s Aires approved the idea and ..sitntM-d tho Pan-American Railway committee. The International Hi'h commission, now resumed as the Int'ir-Amerlcan llijrh commis-

Hieroglyphics on Pyramids Give Traces of Ancient Oriental Progenitors.

Whether Henry Anthony Marsh, ihne-year-old yon of Henry l:e!d and Peggy Marsh, former Iyandon and New York stage beauty, will share in the Field millions will be decided by the superior court in Chicago. Peggy Marsh is seeking to col ct two-lifths of the $.",000,000 trust fund originally et aside for Henry Field by his grandfather. Henry Field had a romance with Peggy Marsh before his society marriage In America. Following his death the Fl -M family settled $100,000 on Peggy Marsh and her son. This photograph of Henry Anthony Marsh was made at his homo in Norfolk, England. '

MKXICO CITY, Feb. 14. Hieroglyphlcs recently discovered on the foundation stones of the pyramids of San Juan Teotihuacan, 2 7 miles northeast of Mexico City, may solve the problem which has perplexed historians ami an heologlsts for centuries as to the true origin of the Mexican nation. These strange carvings are said by some authorities to be Chinese, thus tending to bear out the old tradition that In the dim past wandering tribes from China crossed to a new continent, settled within the present boundaries of Mexico and became the progenitors of the race which now dominate this republic. So interesting are the recent discoveries that the bureau of anthropology has been instructed to conduct a vigorous research and in this connection Fong Tsiang Kuang. charge d'affaires of the Chinese legation In Mexico, visited the pyramids and stated that the hieroglyphics were similar In many respects to certain symbols now in use by the Chinese. He declared the words "sun." "city" and "Kye" were clearly depicted. Mexican anthropologists who have interested themselves in the discovery have declined to pass final judgment until further excavations are made and more evidence obtained. The pyramids of San Juan Teoti

huacan as well as the.f In Cholula In the state of Puebla are among the oldest marks of primitive, habitation to be found In the republic. Th'-y riand as colos.sil monuments t i p' i'ph :i whose history was as obm nn- to th' conquering Spaniards In th ICth century as to presentday historians. Pecause of their general construction some authorities beJI"vt they ar the handiwork of the Egyptians, who In some mysterious manner crossed the seas and denoted their places of permanent habitation with these stone and cement structures, which are even larg-r than the more fr.mous pyramids of Egypt. The little village of San Juan Teotihuacan, which In the Aztec language meant "city of the gods." was in the early days of Aztec history

the scene of extraordinary religious ceremonies. Tho two pyramids, one dedicated to the sun. and the other to the moon, are known to have been the tombs in which hundreds of tribal dignitaries were burled and excavators have exhumed wrought stone containing human bones, obsidian knives, terra cotta heads with broad faces and flat noses, fragments of rare pottery and great numbers of arrowheads.

DlseoTor Mask of Ilnler. One of the most recent and most valuable discoveries was a Jadeite mask of some past monarch with tho brow covered with the diadem, known to the Mexican history. The pyramid to the sun measures 761 by 721 feet at the base and is 216 feet high. The one to the moon is 511 by 4 26 feet at the base and is 151 feet high. They both contain numerous chambers and their several stories are complete temples In themselves, but connected by winding stairs. The inscriptions having Chinese characteristics were discovered through excavating in the ruins of what has generally been known as I.a Ciudadela (the Citadel), but which according to recent reports of investigators, are what is left of a pyramid larger and perhaps older than the two pyramids to the sun and the moon.
