SW ORLEANS, La., March 28. —Discovery of a sacred island_con- taining ruins in the ancient Maya Indian civilization in Lake Catemaco, in the Mexican state of Veya Cruz, has been made by the archeological exploring expedition of the depart- ment of middle American research of Tulane University. A brief report from the local uni- versity's two explorers, Dr. Frans Blom, formerly of the Carnegle Insti- tution, and Dr. Oliver La Farge, made public today, also told of other discoveries of importance to arche- ologists. It said that the two, while in the Mexican state of Vera Cruz, had been the first archeologists to cross the Tuxtla Mountains, and had , yisited the Popoluca Indians, a tribe . ~ which still uses bows and arrows. In addition to the sacred island the explgrers also found ruins and im- portant stone slabs of Pledra La- brada.

MAJORITY LAW MAKES SECOND BALLOT SURE Garres, Business Candidate, Likely to Lead, With Socialist in Second Place. By the Assoclated Press BERLIN, Mareh 28.—For the first time in .its history of more than a 1,000 years, dotted with the turbulent reigns of margraves, electors, kings and emperors, the German nation to- morrow will be given the opportunity of electing its head through the medium of a popular ballot. The late Friedrich Ebert, first pres- ident of the German Republic, held his office by virtue of a vote of the National Assembly in 1919, by which he was designated provisional pres- ident. At various times during the ensuing years he urged that his pro- ional status be ended, but it was deemed unwise to cast the country into the throes of a presidential elec- tion, and it was by act of the Reichs- tag, in October, 1921, that his pro- visional status was changed to a regular one, his term to expire June 30, 1925. His sudden death advanced this date two months, Must Have Mnjority. The law for election of the Presi- dent provides that a candidate must obtain a clear majority of all the votes cast to he declared elected. As there are seven Cafisidates in the running, nobody in Germany veriously belleves that any candidate can ob- tain a majfority. The law, therefore, provides that a second ballot shall be taken, and this second election day has already been fixed for April 26. This time the candidate obtaining the highest number of votes will be declared elected, regardless of how large a vote the various opponents may roll up in the aggregate..En- tirely new candidates may he: named by the various parties or combina- tions of parties for the second elec- tion. : . Terin ‘of Seven Yenmrs. The Presidents term is for seven vears, and he may be re-elected as ften as he can muster the hecassary votes. Women have the to vote as men, and, lfki obtain this privilege on thelr twentieth vear. Karl Jarres, vice chancellor in the Marx cabinet and now lord mayor of is expected to head the column of returns, as he is assured of the undivided support of the Ger- man Nationalists, the Gérman Peo- ple's party, which is the nominal party of “big business,” and all the unattached minor factions, which in- variably make common cause with the conservatives. He also has the support of those German Fascisti leaders who disapprove of Gen. Ludendorft's individual entry as a candldate. Otto Braun, former premier (Continued on Page 3, Column 4.) DOG THAT BIT FIVE MAD, TESTS REVEAL Examination of Animal's Head Shows it Had Rabies—Viec- tims to Be Treated. of Examination of the brain of a stray female dog that had bitten five per- sons, one Wednesday and four Thurs- day afternoon, conducted yesterday afternoon under the supervision of Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Depart- ment of Agriculture, established the positive diagnosis of rables. Richard H. Stringtellow, 12, son of James R. Stringfellow, one of the operatives detalled to accompany the President, residing at 18 Bryant street, was attacked by the dog Wednesday afternoon while deliver- ing papers on the 2400 block of Second street northeast and bitten on the left ankle. Four persons attacked the follow- ing day were Elmer D.

Moubray and the three children at- tacked Thursday afternoon were near Third and Bryant streets northeast when the attacks were made. Folice- man G. W, Cook of No. 12 precinct, who learned of the attacks, hurried to the scene and killed the animal. Poundmaster Smith, connected with the Health Department service, who has charge of the work of looking after biting dogs, took the head of the recent mad animal to the Agricultural Department, and, later notified Mou- bray and parents of the four children of the result of the examination of the animal's brain, 100 Bitten This Year. Since January ‘1, according to rec- ords of the Health Department, 100 persons have been bitten by dogs, and. in at least three instances it devel- oped that the offending animals were suffering from rabes. About a month ago a colored man named Harrison Hall, resident of Garfield, was bitten by a dog that was suffering . from rables, and as a result of the investi- gation conducted by the Health De- partment 25 dogs were killed and 11 ordered quarantined for a perlod ‘of one year. ¢ Six dogs, found to have been ex- posed to the dog that bit the five per. sons this week, have been ordered quarantined for a period of a year. It has not béen ascertained that any one of the six animals was actually bitten by the mad dog. ¥ Land of Castles and Kings| WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION D. C., SATURDAY, TWO SOULS THREE YEARS GIVEN Sentenced to Penitentiary and $200 Fine for Forging Pension Checks. Mrs. Margaret B. Buchanan, former secretary of Samuel A. Kendall, Rep- resentative from Pennsylvania, was sentenced today by Chief Justice Mc- Coy in Criminal Division 2 to serve three years in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $200. She was recently convicted of forging the name of Martha Warfield, an illiterate colored woman who had beeq & ogok in her to two checks from the United States Veterans' Bureau, totaling $1,000, made to the Warfleld woman as compensafion and pension for the death of her som, a former soldler.

Attorney Burnett conducted ths prosecution. Mrs. Buchanan was acquitted in February of a charge of forgery in connection with a check for $5,000 sent to Representative Kendall by Mayor Smart of Uniontown, Pa., in payment of war material sold in Ken- dall's district. 5 DEAD GERMANS FOUND IN SHIP MATES SCUTTLED Officers and Men Apparently Not Warned in Wrecking of Fleet at Scapa Flow.

AMBASSADORS QUIZ FOCH ON REPORT Ask Fuller Statement on Vio- lations of Treaty by Germany. By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 28—The Ambassa- dors’ Council has finally agreed on the text of the questions to be sub- mitted to the allied war committee concerning the report of the allied military control mission in Germany's violations of the treaty of Versailles. Marshal Foch, head of the war com- mittee, probably will have the docu- ment in hand by this evening, and the military experts will be able to begin work on the supplementary report next week. The ambassadors ask Marshal Foch and his colleagues to classity Ger- many’s violations of the treaty dis- armament clauses in the categorics of “grave” apnd “insignificant,” and to give a spicial opinion in each case as to the posgible consequences if Germany is alldwed to coptinue her present policy. Only when the war committee has replied to the questions put by the council will the control mission’s re- port be taken up by the ambassadors for final disposition.- What action will be taken depends largely on the at- titude of the German government in the meantime, diplomatic circles think. If Germany shows a sincere dlsposition to-co-operate for the se- curity of Europe it is believed the allies will be disposed to minimize the treaty violations. Some of the allles wanted to allow the control mission’s report to sleep indefinitely while the security nego- tiations were proceeding, and it is said in a diplomatic quarter that Marshal Foch would have been obliged to wait much longer for the list of questions had there not appeared in Berlin & disposition to hang back somewhat on Forelgn Minister Stresemann’s security’ offer. 3 Puts Ban Upon Imports.

GREAT FALLS, Mont., March 28. —Gordon Campbell, northern Mon- in- tana\ oil operator, who was dicted at Washington, D. C., yes terday with Senator B. K. Wheeler and *E. S. Booth, former solicitor for the General Land Office, on con- spiracy charges, said last night that he was more worried over the poisoning of his blooded bird dog than by the charges against him, “The man who poisoned my dog has more to answer for than I hava for anything 1 ever did in con- nection with ofl permits,” Camp- bell declared. He declined to make any state- ment concerning the indictment. James, A. McGowan, whose oil permit in the Kevin Sunburst field is involved in the Govern- ment's investigation, was sub- poenaed as a witness in the forth- coming Great Falls trial of Sen< ator Wheeler. In-this case the Senator is ac- cused of improperly representing Campbell before a Government de- vartment after his own election to ihe Senate. The case has been set for trial on April 16.
