BARDECK, — Feigenspan SEAL DISTRIBUTOR, 187 ARGH ST. ’Phone 482-2, New Britain NEW YORK OUTLOOK " ALARKS PRESIDENT Wison Has Conferen With Mayor ... Mitchel at White House. Washington, July 22.—President Wilson within the last day or two has Teceived much information in regard to the New York state political situa- tion, and what he has heard is far from encouraging from the demo- cHatic standpoint, The administration is thoroughly alarmed over conditions in New York state, especially because of their ef- | fect on the democratic representation in congress. The fear is expressed by some of the president's adyisers that the po- litical -complexion’ of the next house gf répresentatives is likely to be de- términed by events in New York state, and the outlook, now is most doleful. Talks With Mitchel, The president had a half hour's talk vesterday with Mayor Mitchel of New York. Monday he saw Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port, and Frank L. Polk. National Chair- man McCombs is in town and will have a long talk with the president | today. While Mayor Mitchel described his visit at the White House as merely for the purpose of paying his respects, there is no doubt that he gave the president his views on the political situation from the fusion angle. s Boom for F. D. Roosevelt, “YMr. Malone, Mr. Mitchel and Mr. Polk were hobnobbing together most of the day, and as a consequence the talk of a movement to push Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, for nomination for governor as the candidate of the so-called in- dependent democrats, gained new im- tus, %el\lr. Mitchel disclaimed an intention tc boost or boom anybody, but the leanings of Mr. Malone and others who have been trooping to the White House within the Jast day or two clearly indicate an effort on the part of the so-called independents to get a helping hand from the administra- ti3n. i Playing Watchful Game. If any of these visitors were seek- ing definite assurances from Presi- dent Wilson they were dlsappointed‘ '!‘he president is going to play a watchful and waiting game as re- gards New York state politics, iVlr. Wilson's friends have told him Jeriemores Shoe Poalishes PWNEST QUALITY LARGEST VARIETY | state congress delegation. |1t | cratic fleld hospital. that he is sure to become involved in a horrible muss if he espouses the candidacy of any man at this time or shows any partiality to one faction or the other in the Empire state. Some of his advisers have been frank enough to tell him that the situation seems almost hopeless and that the burden on his shoulders will only be the heavier if he attempts to make an active fight until after the candidate for governor has been se- lected. o Reports About “Sulzer. The rumpus between the so-called independent democrats and the or- ganization men is only one feature of a situation that is alarming the ad- ministration. Reports reach Wash- ington to the effect that William Sul< zer will draw many democratic votes in the up-state districts, and in addi- tion to that there is wide discontent among democrats in the New York The New Yark state representa- tives are cut clear to the bone over patronage matters. The complaint of Chairman Osborn of the demo- cratic state committee, voiced in The Sun today, in regard to postmajter- ships in New York state found a ready response in the Washington delegation. Almost to a man, they give a fervent amen. Chairman Osborn Complains. Chairman Osborn complained that there are between seventy-five and a hundred post offices now being held by republicans whose terms have ex- pired. The administration denles that any blame is to be attached to There are now thirty-one demo- representatives in congress from New York state, and the admin- istration realizes that a big turnover in this delegation in the coming elec- tion may cost the administration con- trol of the house of representatives. Mayor Mitchel Silent, After his interview at the White House Mayor Mitchel declined to dis- cuss politics. He acknowledged that his conversation with the president had included some political matters and added: i ““About ten days ago, by reason of numerous misstatements and exag- gerations appearing in the news- papers, 1 found it necessary to make a public statement as to my atutude on all questions of a political char- |, Would' require acter now interesting New York. I think that at that time I made my- self clear on all the points I men- tioned.” “What can you say as to the sug- gested candidacy of Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Roosevelt for the demogCratic nomination for governor in New York?” *was asked. “That sort of a question is covered in my statement,” was the laughing reply. “Everything goes right around in a circle and comes right back to the statement.” Mayor Mitchel with Collector Ma- lone left for New York on the mid- night train. WEDDED THIRTY YEARS, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Martin to Hold Anniversary Celebration. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Martin of 498 Main street were married thirty years ago today in Middletown. Before her mwarriage Mrs. Martin was Miss Annie Quain. Seven children were born to the couple, of which three sons and a daughter are still living. Mr. and Mrs. Martin will have an anniversary celebration at their home this evening. The family has lived in New Britain during the past eighteen SECOND SQUADRON COMING. Hartford, July 22.—Capt. James L. Howard of Troop B, Cavalry C. N. G., has received information from the war department to the effect that the Second Squadron, United States Cavalry will be in camp at Hamp- ton this state with the Massachu- setts, Connecticut and Rhode Island | Cgvalry, August 8 to 16. The squad- ron will march from Fort Ethan Al- dan, Vt., to Hampton fully equipped except for tentage and supplies need- ed for the week, and accompanied by regular army sanitary corps and - MOBILIZING MARINES IS BEING PLANNED Officials Decine to Tak About Hailian In'mblc.‘ ‘Washington, July 22.—Plans for mobilizing at least 1,000 marines within striking distance of Haiti and the Dominican Republic move forward another step tomorrow with the ar- rival of the naval transport Prairie at Guantanamo from Vera Cruz. The Prairie will bring the full comple- ment of officers for the marines al- ready at Guaintanamo and will re- main there to transport the force to Haiti should an emergency arise while: the Hancock is away for morc roops. The transport Hancock, which has Jjust' landed 300 at Guantanamo, is now head for the Philadelphia Navy Yard to return with another load to bring the total force up to at least 1,000. With those preparations President Wilson's decision as to what action the United States shall take to quell the revolutions in. the island repub- lic and satisfy the pressure of Euro- pean creditors will be awaited. War and navy department officials, con- fident that peace can be restored on the island only by the/active inter- vention of the United States,.are per- fecting their plans. Officials Are Silent. State department officials declined to say whether foreign representa- tions had advanced to the point where American action in Haiti was de- manded to force some control of the island government’s finances that would insure liquidation of its obli- gations. If intervention were ordered in Haiti it was suggested that the United States would attempt to establish a financial trusteeship over the repub- lic by which American officials not only wbuld collect taxes, but also proper appropriation funds. May Quell Revolution. If intervention 'in Haiti- becomes necessary, it is possible that the American troops might be used to put down the long revolt that has harassed the Dominican government. Such action it was suggested might be accompanied by -extension of the authority which the United States now exercises in the collection of Domini- can customs. Representations that Haiti’s credit was good and that the government had met international obligations have been made to President Wilson by Minister Menos. Dominican Refugees Arrive. San Juan, Porto Rico, July . 22.— The United States revenue cutter Al- gonquin arrived here last night from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, with 166 rtefugees, mostly Porto Ricans, on board. One woman died during the voyage from the effects of starvation. The condition of those remaining in Santo Domingo was reported to be pitiable, as it was almost impossible to obtain foodstuffs, prices of which were prohibitive. A report was brought here by the Algonquin that an American blue- jacket on board the gunboat Machias had been shot in the leg by a bullet from the shore. INSPECT BURNED STATION, Hartford, July 22.—General Man- ager C. L. Bardo and General Super- intendent J. A. Droege and others of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad have been in town and spent several hours looking over the ruins of the burned station. The rep- resentative of a large hardware con- cern was also here for the same pur- pose. These visits lead to the impres- sion that work on rebuilding the sta- | tion will begin shortly. [ i MEDATORS APPEAL T0 PRESIDENT WILSON Wants United States to Use In- fsnce With Carranza Washington, July .—Ambassador Da Gama, of Brazil, and Ministers of Chile, and of Ar- gentina, the three mediators in the Mexican affair, appealed to President Wilson today to have the United States use its influence with General Carranza to obtain a general amnesty for those who supported the Huerta govérnment. Suarez, Naon, three mediators since the conference at Niagara Falls adjourned. They expressed the view that Francis Car- bajal, provisional president of Mex- ico, was ready to turn over the gov- ernmént to Carranza, but wanted guarantees that there would be no wholesale executions, arrests or con- fiscation of property. They told President Wilson that unless these guarantees for the pro- tection of the lives and property of those who supported Huerta were given the Carbajal government would concentrate all its military forces and | resist until the utmost any effort to invade Mexico City. The president and Mr. Bryan listened attentively to the views of the South American dip- lomats. After their talk with the president, Secretary Bryan and the ..ree dip- lomats went to the state department for a conference. Secretary Bryan's Carranza and Villa to any / personal differences that might exist between them, was interpreted in Washington today as the American government's prelimi- nary step to prevent counter revolts after the entry of Carranza into Mexico City. The appeal to Carranza was communicated through John R. Silliman, President Wilson’s personak representative, who left Monterey to accompany the revolutionary chief to Tampico. An early answer was ex- pected. appeal to eliminate Rumors of Break. Mr. Bryan maintained that he had “nothing definite enough to make pub- lic” concerning the rift between the revolutionary generals, but it was known that rumors of a break have come from several authentic sources. One report stated Villa was prepar- ing to keep his army in Chihuahua and pay no heed to Carranza’s au- thority, Mr. Bryan's telegrams of appeal, however, did not assume that the reports were true. They sug- gested the importance of co-operation in the constitutionalist ranks. The message to Villa was trdnsmitted through Consular. Agent Carothers. Villa frequently has stated that the only reason his forces had been con- centrated in Chihuahua was to afford their recuperation. They soon would start for the south to participate in the occupation of Mexico City, it was declared. Conferences Next Week. Conferences over the transfer of government to the constitutionalists probably would not take place until next week, it was suggested here to- day. Reports of the whereabouts of the three envoys to represent Provisional President Carbajal stil) were awaited. They left Mexico City several days ago, and Carranza had promised them safe conduct through his lines. Francisco Iglesias Cal- deron who was received by President Wilson yvesterday probably will be one of Carranza's representatives at the conference. He will leave for Mem- terey this week. Hope for an early agreement be- tween the contending factions was 1e- newed here today by reports that Carranza had given assurances that “No nation need fear an indiscrim- inate taking of vengeance against tha federals.” Tampico Errand Unexplained. The case of each man, it was said, | Carranza told representatives of the ‘Washington government, would be disposed of ‘according to the pro- cedure of civilized countries which have passed through a similar stress of civil war.” Carranza’s errand to Tampico was not explained in dispatches received here, bat it was suggested he went to investigate claims arising from con- stitutionalist activities there. Carranza at Linares. Laredo, Tex., July 22.—General Carranza, enroute to Tampico, late yvesterday reached Linares, a town about twenty-five miles south of Mon- terey, according to information re- celved here last night. Genera] Car- ranza was expected to spend the night at Linares. Hold to Regular Routes. Puerto Mexico, July 22.—The Mex- ican political refugees here appeared ‘today to have no chance of leaving the country except by one of the regular routes touching at Vera Cruz, as the Mexican shipping companies seem to be unwilling to charter boats to them for fear of offending the new government. Two steamships will leave here to- night or tomorrow morning, but both call at Vera Cruz andgonly a few of the refugees seem inclined to go on board these vessels. The others apparently have decided to remain here for the present, accepting the hospitality offered by the British crui- ser Bristol, whose crowded deck makes ktheir existence at least unpleasant. It was the first formal call of the { Three Noted Principals in |FINDS N CAVES OF - Organized Baseball’s Scare 2] s New York, among several the Players’ Fraternity, commission amended agreement. to make necessary the the consent every club of every league of higher classification before an athlete could!athlete to remain in Newark. bé disposed of to a league of lower{argued that, according to the This, it was believed, would | working agreement, it would be nec- rating.

Washington, July 22.—In a report the ates expedition, investigated the culture of the of the upper Gila of New Mexico and Museum on which ancient pueblos river region Arizona, Dr. Walter_ Hough of the United States Natiofhl Museum states that among thousands of interesting and valuable objects pertaining to the lives of the early inhabitants many dried vegetables, fruits d other perishable articles were found as well as a desiccated turkey. In & cave which formed the rear chamber of a row of ruined stone abodes on the banks of the Tularosa river, a tributary of the San Fran- cisco river, the explorers found such material representative of the domés- tic life of the ancient dwellers. Upof excavation this cave room ylelded its treasures in sections, as it were, difs ferent depths offering distinetly marked periods of occupation, Brush of Grass Ste'ns. Among the objects of importanch was a brush made of grass bound in a round bundle simils those in use by the Pueblo I of today. During the habitation of this cave four burials had been made at different -times, shown by the di ferent levels from which the aigging had been begun. In one corner near a rock mass some small bows and arrows and other offerings were un- carthed, indicating the location of an ancient shrine. B From the rubbish and debris the remdinsg of several mammals and birds were identified; among them deer, pronghorn, bison, woodchuek, mice, rats, muskrats, rabbits, lymx, fox, skunk, bear, a hawk, an adult turkey, chicks and eggs and many feathers of other birds, all of which occupied the cave at one time eor another or were killed and stored there by the early Indians, Pueblos Raised Turkeys. ¥From early historical reports it has been understood that the Pusblos raised turkeys, but the discovery of this desiccated adult and chicks proves conclusively that turkeys were kept. in captivity, probably for their fea- thers, which were used in the man- ufacture of native garments. . Ears and scattered grains of corn of a smooth and short grain, in yél- low corn, blue and carmine, but mueh faded with aging, were also found, as well as the remains and seeds of gourds, squashes, beans, other veges tables and fruits and nuts. Rude Pottery Found. In the Tularosa Cave there was pottery of a rude form, while from several large open air pueblos exam- ples of a very fine finish and orn mentatior. were collected. The de- signs on the bowls commonly con- sist of four elements based on the world quarters, the bottom usually being circular and blank, Other de- xigns are of combined hatched and or of a checkered var- jety. Many small collections of pot- / were found in ‘caves and springs where they had been deposited as offerings. In the religion of these early in- habitants the bird had an especisl significance and is found in nearly all their ceremonies appearing as & solid image in pottery and carving, depicted on surfaces, as a fetish, but more frequently its plumage is used in one way or another. Many Ceremonial Cigarettes. Interesting finds at Bear Creek Cave ‘were a number of ceremonial cigarettes; a symbolic form of in- cense offering made of hollow reeds stuffed with aromatic herbs which burned with a pleasing odor. In a great sacred cave on Blue River were found bows, arrows, painted rods, baskets, miniature pottery, cig~ arettes, cotton cloth, beads, painted tablets, etc., deposited in pit shrines on the floor of the cavern. These were objects offered to the supernat- ural beings and show the extremely complicated character of the ancient native worghip, Much of the ter- ritory covered by the report has never been scientifically explored before. - HELP WANTE " Constables Quail Before Onslaught on Orange Street.
