MUSEUM CURATOR IN
TILT WITH SECRETARY
Archaeologists Charge Incompetency,
Inefficiency and Lack of Scientific
Reputation in Exchange of
Belligerent Letters
(Continued from ro«« One)
ly on Mr. Lummis 1 letter. It will be
noted that he resorts to his customary
tactic*. Ha positively declines In this,
m on other occasions, to stand out in
the open and mako his own fight, in
the present vase he drags in the na
tional government and the foremost
ntlflc bodies in America! l ■
made, no complaint of the government
nor of the scientific bodies referred to.
1 merelj allege, and ran prove, that
Charles F Lninniis is unfit to hold any
office in the Southwest society or
museum.
■He also drags in the executive com
mittee, our treasurer, our landlord, In
dians, the chamber of commerce ana
Dr. Hrdllcka of Washington, D. ('. I
have no quarrel with any of these peo
ple I merely allege and can prove that
Charles F. Lummia is unfit to hold any
office in the Southwest society or mu
seum.
"The statement of Mr. Lummis With
relation to adverse criticism of the
chamber of commerca by me Is un
qualifledly false. The statement in
which he quotes me in criticism of Dr.
Hrdllcka is equally false
"He states that: Dr. Palmer's com
munication indicates that either he is
crazy or I am.' That this slight glim
mering of truth should have penetrated
the colossal egotism which blinds Mr.
Lummis Is encouraging. In a friendly
way i have repeatedly pointed out to
him the seriousness of hln condition. I
have warned him that the physical in
clty of which he has so long been
complalnlni was possibly the result of
mental disturbance. His statement
would indicate he realizes that possi
bly I was right.
Defends Reputation
"Mr. Lummis states further that:
'He had made no attempt to destroy
my reputation.' He succeeds in estab
lishing to his own satisfaction that I
had no reputation, and of course he
could not destroy a thing which did not
. xist. Reputation and the means ,by
which it may be acquired involve a
possibility of variant solution. To illus
trate: An individual In search of a
reputation, and unaware of not possess
ing the qualifications upon which en
viable reputation Is bullded, assumes
the dual character of historian and
scii ntist. If he shall then proceed to
solemnly promulgate the vagaries of a
distorted Imagination as an unimpeach
able record of scientific fact and his
toric truth, he will certainly accumu
late a reputation.
"There are, however, reputations of
another sort, and acquired by other
methods, As an illustration I submit
Ihe following letters and a statement.
by Mr, Lummis:

mind putting on paper a tentative
statement ot what Los Angeles might
offer ai an Inducement to lorute our
School of American Archaeology there.'
"In reply to Dr. Hewett'i request,
Mr Lumrnli dwelt at length on ad
vantage! to the proposed school that
would result from its location In LOS
Angeles. As part of those advantages
he states- "The most perfect archaeo
logical collections in the west as a.

"I am the man who made those col

Lummis States Case
in speaking of Dr. Palmer's charges
last night Mr. Lummis said:
"it Is lucky there is one point on
which Dr. Palmer and scientist? and
I can agree-namely their cither be is
C'"drown people are generous to spoiled
children—fvcn spoiled ones. Almost
anyone can get polite letters by fishing
1,,,- them. The letters Dr. Palmer
quoted were asked for. His final
argument is to quote me In proof of his
•a»U y'every citizen were to ask the
newspaperi to print all the compli
mentary letters ever received they
would have their hands full You wll
notice that in spite of the hid toi In
dorsement non ! these letters ;."' i>o
yond what i say and stand-by.
"Dr Palmer was a first class den
tist and is an admirable collector. He
isn't an archaeologist or explorer. Ills
ideas Of business are best set forth t^
himself. You may notice that Prof.
Putnam 'believes Dr. Palme,- to be a
reliable gatherer of archaeological ob
jects' That's a little different from
& archaeloglst. Send Prof. Putnam
this correspondence and ask him.
Says Letter Was Not Quoted
••Dr Palmer also quotes Prof. Kelsey
Of Ann Arbor, now i.resident ol the
Archaeological Institute of America. I
notice he doesn't quote Dr. Keweyf
frank answer to the fishing letter. He
tells me that he Ih going to send a let
ter to every member of the A. 1. A.,
about 2600 in number, make serious
charges against tUelr president because
he SSwered this letter by the state
ment 'Dr. Palmer labors under the
disadvantage of never having been
trafned by wiy American or European
archaeologist,' or words to that effect.
Dr. Palmer can doubtless produce the
'''■■Vfhav!^' 'rushed to type the letter
nf scientists, showing their opinion of
Dr Palmer Brietly, it is that he could
.Ism, good if he would attempt that
which he is competent to do. If he
Wll get any scientists of standing
anyone he quotes, anyone whom you
can find in 'Who's Who 1 or any ency
cTopedla. or any other t^tbook to In
dorse his present action as per his let
ters. 11l £gree to give him the right
°f"The'letter I am sending our mem
bers unfortunately made necessary by
I,ls incredible procedure covers the case
fairly well for a busy person.
"As for the 'charges,' I presume
General Chaffee and Mr. Koepfll are
able to deal with the case thus deli

W"l h plead guilty to having tried for
nearly six years to keep Dr.- Palmer s
acute vanity from wrecking him. He
can't wreck thla society nor this mu

"Dr. Palmer's gentle insinuations of
lying may lie where they fall. The
only question before this community in
the campaign inaugurated by Dr.
Palmer is whether this community
wishes Dr. Palmer or the scientific
world to lie the judge in the work wo
are doing so splendidly here for the
higher scholarship. 1 will bo willing to
submit briefs to every scientific body in
America as listed In Minerva, Or in
any other scientific publication in
