Mexico, Was a Powerful Nation 5,000 Years Ago;
Shepherd Finds Evidence of Ancient Horror
By Wm. G. Shepherd
; VERA CRUZ, May 8
Hunting dead men and their
'relics was the pastime of the
; few Americans the last days
we remained in Mexico I'Hy
I helped to find one dead
man. tic was lying on the
j floor of the kitchen in the
1 wreck of his home. Reside
j him we found remnants of a
| stone stove an«l a huge clay
| pot in which food had heen
cooking when destruction
came. The hones of a fowl
were still discernible among
the debris.
I lifted his skull and looked
(at it without horror, for this
1 man had been dead 5,000
! years. 1 picked from a section
j of the huge broken pot a handful
'of the food, tt waa petrified
The bloody history of Mexico
1 may seem bad enough.
But In hunting for our dead man
we read In the soil that we dug,
stories of h rror end holocausts
that make recent events seem ridic
ulously uninteresting.
Popocatepetl Old It
While writing this I ran look out
!of my window and. In the evening
mist of a golden Mexican day, 1 can
see the anow-covered peaks of two
great, beautiful mountains; they
are peaceful enough now, but once
they abed destruction over the val
ley of Mexico and hurled cities Just
as Vesuvius burled Pompeii.
It waa In one of these burled eli
tes that we found our dead man
William Nlvena, who haa si>ent
most of his life in reading the his
tory of Mexico In her stones, was
my guide.
Thousands Destroyed.
We faced a hank of earth 10 feet
high. Near Ite top waa a white
streak.
"That'e the pavement of a city
that eslsted a thousand year* ago,"
he said.
"That streak, five feet below It. Is
the sand of a great flood tbat swept
destruction here S.OOO years ago.
"And this lower streak." he con
tlnued, putting hla hand on a gray
strata on a level with our heads,
"la made ap of ashee that fell from
old white-topped i'opocatapetl there
5.000 years ago "
Built on the ashes of J.OOO years
waa a bouse, and with It the story
of another horror; of a flood that
had swept the valley, drownlnit
thousand* and covering Iho land
scape with a thlrkneaa of throe or
four feet of aand and bouldera.
And then the rlay bank showed
ua that men had come, perhapi a
thouaiind years after the flood, and
had built a city, not knowlntt of thn
two horror* (hat were atretrhed out
beneath them.
And then tlila third rare of men.
ao the rlay bunk ahowed ua. had
been awept away In another flood.
Today It'a all farm land

"We're dlKßliiK Into the rulna of
a home," said Nlvens.
Ilia peona came down to ua with
tNMr ahovela and moved away the

Then ho aiasted attain

"A clay pot," he said, after some
minutes
The pick struck Into a maaa of
soft stone.

"I've found many of them during
the past doten years, since I have
been digging here, and many a pot

Skeleton of Human.
"nut some one was killed In this
house," he said. "The body must
be nearby."
It was two hours before his pick '
struck a piece of human bone, and
an hour more of carefully picking,
away at the gray earth brought the!
skeleton to light
Nlvens stirred that the soft;
crumbling bones wore probably j
those of the housewife
"If we dug more." he said, "we
ahould probably find that other,
membera of the family perished,
perhaps In another room "
It was too much for my Im
agination.
Here was a glance Into a
home that eslsted whsn Rome

Maine has had prohibition for CO

In fact, eleven of the leading pro

cities, auch aa Baltimore, Cleve

San Franclaco and Seattle have an

the city of New York only had 5.6
arrests per thousand of Its popu-
Istlon.

The only difference Is that the

tie other hand, a large majority of
the people of the populous centers
