Anna ‘Lynch, nineteen, a niece of “Chinatown May," living at No. 768 Docatur Strect, Brooklyn, the home of Conroy at the time of his death, was the first witness. She told Dr. Philip A. Brennan, representing the com ing witness, Mrs. Mary Moran of Cleveland, that her aunt's maiden was Susan Lynch. She added when Susan Lynch “‘left home" I years ago, she took the name nA, Mansell. mas she ever known as Ryan?" Mr. Brennan. "No." “Do you know Jack Ryan?” “Yes, he was a friend of Mr. Con- my aunt.” The witness testified she was pres tt when ‘Bart’ Cofroy affixed his k to his will, after he had been if its terms, which left ev thing to ‘Chinatown May,” were sat isfactory to him.

Cahokla ts the largest mound group In the United States. The Monks so-called from the Trappista wh: settled in the territory for a short time between 1808 and 1813, is the largest of the Cahoklas. It has the gigantic measurements of 1,080 feet north and south b; 10 feet east an’ west, and reacha@g to a height slightly in excess of 100 feet. This gives Monks Mound a base area of 17.6 acres, as compared with only 13.1 acres for the great Pyramjds. Cheops, however, is much higher than Monks, reaching 481 feet. But the achievement of the Caho kians seems incomparably greater than that of the ptians, gigantic as latter task was. Egypt back 2450-4235 B. C. had a definite civili zation; it was the leading nation of the world—THE world, in fact, Al knowledge, culture, science were con ‘entrated about the Nile. The Caho kians, whenever they lived, were but a barbaric or savage tribe. They were countless ages more primitive than the Egyptians. Névertheless they achieved Monks and the four- score other mounds, as well a ome fine pottery and exquisite copper. vorks in Who the primitive Cahokians were and from where they came ts still 0 mystery, But we do know, as a re sult of more than a century of desul tory explorations in the East St Louis territory, that they brought conch shells from the sea, obsidian rom the Yellowstone, mica from t Alleghanies, copper from the Grea Lakes and flint from Missour!. Al these were given to the master ar tisans of those days, who turned out some really wonderful works Anthropologists long have been try- j The Monk's as it probabl appeared when originally built ing to gain sutticient intormaton upon hich to base a restoration of the life and history of the Cahokian genera- ton. To this end Dr. Warren Kv Moorehead of Phillips-Andover, has yeen asked by the University of Mli- 10is to make extensive excavations n the mounds. Already enough has been learned to indicate that the ur- dsans of Cahokia were unusual! skilful, that their agriculture was y advanced and that they mad crude attempts at lead smelting, Of course war was a dominant featare, as attosted to by the large proportion r heads found in the relics Dr. Moorehead has writtén and the University of Mllnois has just pub- Nshed the results of the first explora- fons, “No definite observations as to age. cultures or people can be offered the eader at this time,"’ Dr. Moorehead concludes his intensely interesting re port. “Our work is but begun. How ver, it seems to be generally accepted by all observers that Cahokla is strictly prehistoric, since later In- dians seem to know nothing concern ing its builders, Mr. Moorehead in his report has gone to great pains to tell of the relics found by the excavators, Thero were skeleténs, urns, arrowheads, flint tools, bits of pottery with the typical Cahokian bird's-eye design, and °x suisitely wrought copper pieces, such asa turtle, It may be the Cahokians vad veterinary dentists in those days, for a deer's Jawbone has been found ‘with the forward part, or that con taining the teeth, encased in a thin covering of copper, which extends over the teeth.’ The excavotors have unearthed fitty-two skeletons and several altars which make it highly probable that the mounds were used either for tombs or for; purposes of worship. Still, some of the mounds show evi- ‘ences of having been used as home- sites, All the relics are in an excel- lent state of preservation and fabor- atory research this winter may reveal some important anthropological facts about the ancestors of those who sreeted the Norsemen, Columbus, the Cabots and the re h missionary explorers. To be able to continne this work to a point where an authentic conclusion us to Cahokian manners can be reached it is essential that the piounds be safegua from the advance of business. That is why the scientific bodies have been so eager im theb support of the proposition to make of the Cahokian tervitory a State or National park The Monks, like the other mounls which have not fallen under the spade and steam shovel of railroads or build #, looks like an ordinary cultivated hill.

One js that it was primarily a burial place, the other that it was built for some great public meeting place—a temple or council hall, Early investigators say that Monks rose tn four ter platforms from the plain, establishing a certain Iknship with the Pyramids. Were it propor- tlonally us higl® there would be at least twenty terraces to Monks. It was found that Monks was in the shape of a parallellogram with straight sides. A projecting portion on the south led to a terrace or apron containing two acres of ground thirty feet above the base, On the western side and some thirty feet above this was another and somewhat smaller terrace. The top of the mound was. flat and divided into two parts, the northern énd some four or five feot higher than the southern portion Just what the significance of these terraces, still distinguishable, really is Dr. Moorehead hopec to find out in future explorations. He has already learned that when tht Cahokians died they placed tools and food at the side of the dead bodle: for use in the after life. He has also learned that the prehistoric Amer'- cans were exceedingly deft. But there is a great deal be learned, and tt will be, Dr. Moore- head says, if the [linots Legislature this year makes a State park out of what 4 really prove to be the “birthplace of America.""
