' EMU ML HISTORY
FOUND 01 ISLAND
EXPLORERS FIND EVIDENCE OF
AMERICANS OVER CEN
TER!' AGO
SAN PEDRO, Cal., July 1.—Inter
est In the early history of California
and Mexico has been increased
through discoveries made on the
island of Guadelupe, a picturesque
and rugged peak rising out of the
Pacific, about 350 miles southwest
of this port, by a party of Ameri
cans who sailed from here and re
turned recently.
Not only did they find what is
considered evidences of the presence
there of Americans more than a
century ago, but also discovered
what appeared tp have been the last
resting place of some daring ex
plorer of a far earlier date. Much i
speculation has been aroused as to
whether the leader of the famed ex
pedition of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo,
perhaps even that^iardy Portuguese
himself, may have been givqp there
the lonliest of tombs.
The discoveries were made by the
merest chance. Members of the
exploring) party resting on the crown
of a great rock, a few rods from
the shore, notice what appeared to
be rude lettering on the side nearest
the sea.
The debrii cast up about the
rock by the waves was removed with
picks and {.hovels and there was ex
posed to view the record of a land
'ng by the crew of the ship “Tri
umph” in 1807—so reads the in
scription.
There are a score of names there;
also an American flag and an Ameri
can shield. The names are thought
to be those of New England whalers,
for they are such as were borne by
the Puritans. There is one name
cut larger than the rest—Sam’l
Chapman. Another deeply engraved
is David CiMsty. The Christian
names are such as Thaddeus, The
opbilus, Ebenezer, Jonathan, coin
mon in me last century.
‘ Landed Septr. the 9 A. D. 1807”
is fche record of their coming. “Left
the—” and there the grinding of
the rocks and sand of many tides
has done its work and the rest is
left to the imagination.
The loneliness of the isle may he
judged from the fact that a party
of Americans, including several
women, survivors of a wrecked ship,
*' were marooned there for seven
months about three years ago. They
were rescued by an American cruiser
which nosed its way by chance into
the snug harbor on the east coast.
The coast line is almost all cllfTs,
perpendicular walls of rock 1000
feet or more in height in many
places. There is hardly a spot ex
cept the harbor where a landing is
easy. £ canyon ruas back from the
harbor and well up this canyon is
a spring thought to be the only
fresh water on the Island. There
are thousands of goats on the island.
It is on a little ledge jutting out
from a cliff, probably 500 feet above
the waves that crash about the
jagged shore rocks, members of the
party believe, some sea rover of an
earlier age may have' found a gran
ite couch. Whether there is a small
cave back of the ledge, the party
could not be certain of from their
boat which could not be driven
close to the dangerous shore.
But above may be plainly seen
a large cross cut in the cliff and
what looks like a word in Latin.
Certainly the man or men who
cut the cross were bold and must
have had a strong impelling reason
—whether or not it was to make
forever.secure the body of a loved
commander. No man could have
scaled the cliff from below. Those
who reached the ledge must have
been lowered hundreds of feet from
the towering plateau. The descent
was not prompted by a mere love of
the hazardous.
It has been generally supposed for
many years that the bones of Ca
brilla lie in some cave of the Santa
Barbara channel islands and there
have been many unsuccessful
searches ofr them there. The rec
ords of the navigator who sailed
along the California coast in 1542
and 1545 are fragmentary.

AMERICANS TRAINING
FOR HENLEY REGATTA
ALL MEMBERS OF RIGHT WERE
IN THE FIGHTING IN
FRANCE
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, July 2.—
The United States oarsmen have now
been at Henley for nearly six week',
training for the Henley “Peace” Re
gatta, their entries for which in
clude an eight, a coxswainless four
and two single sculls.
They have pleasant quarters at
"Greencroft,” which is situated in
the healthiest residential part of the
town. They are all exceedingly fit
and hopeful of giving a good ac
count of themselves on the famous
reach, where their compatriots so
worthily upheld the best traditions
of American oarsmanship in the I
memorable regatta of 1914.
I
Their training has been conducted
on methodical lines which so far |
have been beneficial to the Ameri
cans. They have a strong slow i
stroke, with less body swing than is j
apparent in the majority of British ■
oarsmen and Major Herman
Rogers, the captain of the eight, <s
satisfied that his crew has devel
oped pace and staying power.
The make up of the eight under
went some alteration since the crew
arrived from France and the present
order of rowing is as follows.
Lieutenant Collis J. Coe (Yale)
bow; Captain Royal Pullen (Univer
sity of Washington) 2; Lieutenant J.
Howard McHenry (Yale) 3; Lieu
tenant Harry Fiddendorf (Harvard!
4; Captain Louis Penny (California)
5; Major Herman L. Rogers (Yale)
6; Lieutenant J. Aromy JefTeries,
(Harvard) 7; and Captain Douglas
Kingsland (Cornell) stroke.
Middendorf was in the Harvard
eight that beat Boston in the final
heat of the Grand Challenge Cup in
the 1914 regatta. All the members
of the crew were in the fighting on
the Western front, and one of the
number, Lieutenant Jefferies, was
wounded in Champagne.
The crew for the Coxswainless
four, is at present arranged, are:
Major Paul Withington (Harvard),
stroke; Captain Charles D. Wiman
(Yale); Lieutenant J. R. Breitin
ger (Pennsylvania); Lieutenant E.
S. Dillon (Princeton) bow.
Both the fight and the four have
been coached by Major Paul With
ington who has entered for the i
single sculls. He was an unsuc
cessful competitor for the Diamond
Sculls in 1914. The members of
the crew speak in very appreciative
terms of the hospitable reception ac
corded to them in Henley, and they
greatly value the facilities afforded
them by the Henley Golf club for
playing on the links. The Leander
club, too, has extended to them a
very cordial welcome.
Captain Charles D. Wiman is the
officer in charge of the United
States army rowing, but his duties
in connection with the organization
of rowing events in France and
German occupied territory did not
permit him to devote all his time to
Henley.

L. A. PAPER TO ILLUSTRATE
BIG FIGHT IN NOVEL WAY
LOS ANGELES, July 2.—A news
paper here has developed something
new for fight fans in connection
with the Willard-Dempsey bout of
July 4. It has prepared a ring at
Ocean Park, a beach resort nearby,
has engaged two boxers to imper
sonate the fighters, has arranged a
ringside service from Toledo to the
beach, and as the fight progresses
there the boxers will repeat the
moves of the title defender and his
opponent as faithfully as the tele
graph descriptions will permit.
There will be no charge to spec
tators, the paper having arranged
the event as a courtesy to its read
ers and the public generally.

FOREST FT RES DRIVE
CARIBOU IN ALASKA
CORDOVA, Alaska, July 2.—Vast
caribou herds have been driven
into new regions where they never
have been found before, as the re
sult of forest fires in the upper
Kuskokwin country which have de
stroyed the moss on which the ani
mals subsist. As a result, could
tourists visit Mount McKinley na
tional park and the region 75
miles below the McKinley range,
as easily as then can reach Rainier
national park, they would see the
caribous in their new home. Fires
now burning in the Toklat, Middle
river and upper Nenana river dis
tricts may cause the caribou to seek
still other sections for a livelihood.
MUCH BOOTLEGGING
ON MEXICAN LINE
BILL INTRODUCED IN SONORA
STATE TO OPEN
SALOONS
EL PASO, Texas, July 1.—Boot
legging has assumed widespread pro
portions in Agua Prieta, Sonora,
Mexico, across the border from
Douglas, Arizona, according to .Am
ericans who have investigated liquor
conditions in the border state. Open
saloons are prohibited in Sonora by
state laws, but little or no effort j
has been made by the authorities to ,
courtail illicit liquor traffic, they
say.
Cognizance of the situation has
been taken by the authorities, how
ever, to the extent that a bill has
been introduced in the state cham-!
ber of deputies permitting the es
tablishment of open saloons for the
sale of light wine and l>eer under
strict state supervision. The bill
purposes limiting the number of sa
loons in accordance with population
and the payment of high state and
municipal licenses.
Well informed Mexicans believe
that saloons will return under the
proposed new law as they contend
that while General P. Elias Calles.
military governor of Sonora, is an
advocate of prohibition he would,
much prefer the legalizing of the
liquor traffic with the consequent
revenue to combating the increasing
number of bootleggers.
The. liquor situation in Agua
Prieta is a troublesome one to the
better class of Sonora Mexicans and
residents of Douglas and other bor
der towns. It is pointed out that
Agua Prieta offers easy access to
any one in Douglas who desires to
obtain liquor. At the present time
certain Mexicans with a great show
of friendship invite Americans across
the line to visit the bootleggers.
The Mexican policemen watch all
visitors closely, and, it is reported,
make a practice of arresting Ameri
cans when their conduct becomes
boisterous and robbing them of
their money and other valuables.
Should the Americans protest there
Is always the alternative of a real
arrest and a prison sentence or a
heavy fine. Some observers here
say the reopening of the saloons will
do much toward making a l>ad situa
tion worse.

DRY TIMES RECALL
FAMDUS WET TOWN
KL PASO NOT AFFECTED BY EN
FORCEMENT OF NATIONAL
PROHIBITION
• -
EL PASO, Texas, ^uly 1.—Texas
having been officially “dry” for
more than a year, El Paso was not
affected by the enforcement of na
tional prohibition today other than
to recall to the minds of the older
residents many of the most famous
places on the Mexican border which
were conducted here In the days
when El Paso was known nationally
as a “wide open town” and the sa
loonkeepers bragged that they
owned no locks or keys since they
kept open the year around.
At one time there were more than
200 saloons operating here in the
Mexican and American quarter. The
most noted of these were in the bus
iness district along both sides of
San Antonio street, El Paso street
and the plazas. These included the
Cactus, the Parlor, Wigwam, Gem,
The Ranch, The Ruby, Astor House,
Palace, Coney Island and Lobby.
outside or the downtown district
the “Bucket of Blood,” near Fort
Bliss, received its gruesome name
from ,the fact so many men had been
killed there. In the Mexican quar
ter the “Copa do Oro (Cup of Gold),
“El Buen Tiempo” (The Good
Time) and the “Amigo de los Po
bres” (Friend of the Poor), were
noted drinking and gambling places
for the Mexican population. These
“cantinas” have been here since the
city was a goat ranch.
Gambling was conducted openly
in a majority of these saloons. The
Wigwam was one of the most popu
lar. There prospectors from the
hills of the southwest and Mexico
gambled away their earnings of a
year on the desert, many killings
occurring there. The Coney Island
was long the rendezvous of the cow
boys and catered to them by having
stuffed steer heads, mounted horns
and a display of ancient and modern
fire arms in cases along the dingy
walls. Several killings occurred in
this saloon.
Phil Young’s Cafe was one of the
most popular places on lower El
Paso street as Phil’s clam chowder
and free lunch was known from
coast to coast. He retired and is
living in California.

AUTO OWNERS TO

Goldfield automobile owners are
interested in the meeting to be held
at the court house tomorrow even

of plans to repair the Diamondfield
road and maintain it as the princi
pal highway for autos between
Goldfield and Tonopah. It is ex
pected that the attendance af the
meeting will be large.
Since the agitation for repair of
the road has been started auto
owners are coming more and more
to realize that this is the only logi
cal solution of the Goldfield-Tono
pah road problem, which is serious
from all standpoints. There are
now only two presentable roads out
of here—the road to Cuprite and
the stretch to the sand on the Dia
mondfield road.
The matter of the repair of the
proposed new road will be a simple
matter and will require little time
and expense, as most of the work
can be done with a drag, followed

ECONOMIC RESEARCH IS
URGED BYJOUCATOR
JUSTICE IN ECONOMIC RELA
TIONS SAID TO BE PAR
AMOUNT PROBLEM
MILWAUKEE, July 2.—Address
ing the general session of the Na
tional Educatlorf association at its
meeting in Milwaukee yesterday,
on the organisation of higher educa
tion for service in the new democ
racy, Chancellor E. C. Elliott of the
University of Montana emphasized
the importance of sound economic
education and urged the establish
ment of economic research stations
for the scientific examination of so
cial and political problems in a
manner similar to the existing agri
cultural experiment stations.
"The paramount problem before
the nation,” said Chancellor Elliott,
"is that of the justice of the eco
nomic relations of men. In no stage
of a system of education that aims
to fit a people for democracy, may
this problem be neglected. A strug
gle for peace began with the sign
ing of the treaty at Versailles. Man
kind is now to be tried in the fires
of the new world idealism arising
from the great war. The stamp
ing out of ravaging radicalism,
which is a tragic by-product of eco
nomic illiteracy, is the common task
of civilization. The real contest
during the next decade will be be
tween the conservatives, who want
the world put back where it was be
fore the war, and the conservation
ists who desire that the world be
put forward where is should be ire
cause of the war. Neither capital
nor labor can hold aloof from the
rightful education of both workers
and leaders in the new vital eco
nomic issues.”
"The extraordinary development
of American agriculture,” said
Chancellor Elliott, “has l>een due
in the largest measure to the educa
tional services of the colleges of
agriculture and the constructive in
vestigations conducted by the agri
cultural experiment stations. If our
industries and our commerce are
to be developed to the point of en
abling us to maintain our position
in the field of competition, and at
the same time permit a constantly
better standard of living for all of
our workers, we must see to it, that
economic policies are based upon
carefully tested facts that apply to
the world as it is, and upon prin
ciples that are the products, not of
partisan expediency but of patient
and sound research.”

ALASKA NOT WORRYING
ABOUT ANARCHIST BOMBS
NENANA, Alaska, July 2.—“Alas

of bombs in Its mall,” declares the
Nenana News referring to the re
cent bomb outrages in the states.
"The postoffice department,” the
paper continues, “has made the
country practically bomb-proof by
injecting into our mail service a
very generous portion of time be
tween points of dispatch and points
of delivery. An Alaska-bound bomb
would age itself out of business
long before reaching an intended
victim in this country.”
