INDIAN VILLAGE IS
FOUND UNDER BAY
j - I
Exposition Dredger Uncovers
Traces of Dwellings 500
or 700 Years Old
Beneath the waters of San Francisco
bty, close to where the buildings of
the Panama-Pacific exposition soon
will be erected, scientists of the an
thropological department of the Uni
versity of California have discovered
(traces of an Indian village that ex
isted between 500 and 700 years ago.
The discovery was made when the
dredgers of the exposition company un
covered what appears to be a three
foot layer of shell and bone that had
been dropped by human hands. The
dredgers were stopped long enough to
permit the scientists to make a cursory
examination.
Prof. A. L. Kroeber, head of the de
partment of anthropology at the Uni
versity of California, yesterday an
nounced the discovery of the ancient
Indian village, which is believed to be
the first dwelling place of man on the
site where the exposition will be
built.
The settlement probably was that of
the sea lion hunters of the peninsula.
The finds have been incorporated In
the university's anthropological mu
seum at the Affiliated colleges, where
they will be of considerable interest in
1915. One interesting point in con
nection with the report of Professor
Kroeber is that San Francisco has sunk
into the ocean 26 inches since the
early Indian hunters frequented this
district.

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
CHICAGO, Oct. 16. —"General
condition excellent" was the
word tonight from the surgeons
attending Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt at Mercy hospital, where
he is fighting his battle against an
assassin's bullet.
An examination today disctosed the
fact that the colonel had suffered a
fracture of the fourth rib on his right
side when John Schrank fired the
shot intended to take the bull moose
candidate's life in Milwaukee. This
development, however, the surgeons
said, did not tend .to render the con
dition of their patient more serious.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who arrived this
morning, was on vigil tonight at the
bedside of the colonel. The wife de
clared for staying at Hie colonel's
bedside until he went to sleep for the
night. She Was assigned a room ad
joining the suite occupied by Roose
velt.
Bullet Not Poisoned
Tests made at Marquette univer
sity, Milwaukee, determined posi
tively that the bullet with which
Roosevelt was wounded had not been
poisoned, as was feared. An Infusion
from scrapings taken from the re
maining bullets In the assassin's re
volver was administered to a poison
squad of guinea pigs without any
reeult.
The only danger anticipated fey the
! surg-eons is the possibility of tetanus.
j blood poisoning, pneumonia or pleu-
Jriey. All these are said to be remote,
indeed, in the light of the condition of
the patient. •
X-Ray examinations were continued
during the day in the effort to de
scribe more accurately the position of
the bullet and to determine finally if
the projectile had traveled since It was
lodged in the colonels - body.
Crisis Several Days Off
If at the end of a few days no symp
toms of poisoning have appeared Col
onel Roosevelt will have passed the
critical period and will be on the road
to full recovery, according to the at
tendants.
The hourly record of Colonel Roose
velt's temperature, pulse and respira
tion, which were available for inspec
tion yesterday, were withheld today.
The surgeons issued several formal
signed bulletins.
