6 FIND HISTORIC GRAVE I Mood at Battle Ground, IncL, Washes out Skeletons. 4mui t Missionary and Indiana Ba> lleved to Hava Been Burled There In Seventeenth Century?Silver Cross la on Bonea. Battle Ground, Ind.?Guy Fisher, a farmer boy living near Battle Ground, tad.. stumbled on to a Btrange And a j tow day*, ago near the mouth of tbe Tippecanoe river that may be of onsldcrable historic interest. Many mail mounds of earth are to be seen In the neighborhood which is named tor the battle of Tippecanoe between Oen. Harrison and Tecumseh's warriors. Some of theee have been openad from time to time, and relics of the red men have been found in them, bat the latest is considered one of the most Important yet unearthed in that dstrlct. Recent high water from the Tip pecan o< and Wabash rivers and Wild Oat creek inundated the entire countryside. Young Fisher was going orer the territory contiguous to the: Joining of the Tippecanoe and Wa- j bash rivers after the water had receded and found one of the larger of ! the mounds washed out. Uncovered I or the waters but undisturbed word Are skeletons. The center one of the 1 gulntet was larger than the other*, i and npon ft rested a heavy cross, known to antiquarians as the "Jesuit | double cross." Tho young man. after making these discoveries, dug lower Into the spot j and found a stone pipe, several hand- j fuls of arrow and spear heads of stone a curious copper ornament, twd metal buttons and several other small stone articles, both Implements of peace and war. It Is supposed by some that the larger of the Ave men?for all the skeletons have been determined as J those of males?was a Jesuit missionary, while the others are supposed to ' have been Indians. History tells of the burial of De La Salle, the French explorer who was tn the Northwest territory In the yaw 1^89, In the Mississippi river, after he had bpen disappointed In hlrf venture of the Griffin, which he dls- . patched from the head of Lake Huron. The boat never returned from Its voy- 1 age to Niagara and the Frenchman ! started on the long trip of 1.500 miles ' to Canada, first going down the Mia j sisslppl for supplies In two canoes 1 with an Indian hnnter and four I Frenoh companions It Is supposed that the skeletons found are those of men who either were In De La Salle's party or who met the Jesuit missionary, Marquette, who later went tnrougn trie section It Is known thnt Marquette was through that part of the country and some students are of the opinion that the skelentos are those of four followers of the Marquette party and one of the Jesuit's group of mlselonaries | Some have asserted the larger bod? ts that of an Indian and not a white man, thnt he was the chief of a tribe and had been converted to the ChrisMan religion by the Marquette party. The position of the body and lis condition seem to Indicate this according to those holding the latter view of the case 600-PCUND WOMAN IS DEAD Two Tables Used for Operation on Marie Peters at the County Wlrwar>l?.l Chicago.?Marie Peters, one of the fattest women In the world, whose twenty yearB of museum work have made her kno .vn to hundreds of thousands of persona scattered all over the world, died at the county hospital foL lowing an operation Mrs Peters was removed from Rivervlew park, where she was appearing, to a local hospital.

FEWER ARE GOING ABROAD I Steamship Agents Blame Decrease of ' 30 Per Cent. Chiefly on the Recent Floods. i New York.?lip to May 8 the first- , cabin paBBenger traffic between this port and Europe was 357 ahead of the same period In 1912 west bound and m 138 bookings ahead east-bound. The second-cabin passenger traffic showed ' an increase of 16,000 west-bound and 2,434 east-bound from Jan. 1 to May 8 ! orer laBt year. Traffic east-bound from now on will be about 30 per cent, below last year. according to the steamship agents. : tJ This, they Bay, is chiefly due to the number of cancellations of bookings r" made in January and February by " persons who were sufferers by the U floodB in the middle west and by the ^ tornado In the Mississippi valley. ^ Generally the year of the preBiden- j K tlal election is a poor one for foreign c travel, but 1912 was a very good year. ? Cancellations have been made In the last few days not only on the older * Atlantic liners, but also on the first- J cabin bookings of the Imperator. * Mauretanla and Olympla. o The Atlantic steamship companies d look to the middle west and the west j V for the bulk of their summer tourist ( a traffic, and the sudden falling off in t< the demand for cabin accommodation n and the cancellations came as a sur- li prise to them. A few of the more op tlmlstlc agents hope that there will a be a boom in the European tourist I tl traffic later on. but It will have to a come eoon to have any effect on the n trade e Conducted party travel 1b also light, according to the various tourist v agents, and there Is not much hope of n It picking up this year.

New York.?Commercialization of Ice in New York city Is described In ne tirst rcur studies of the social evil 3 be published by the New York bubhu of social hygiene. The book, pubshed by the Century company, is enitied "Commercialized Prostitution in lew York City" and is written by ^rge J. Kneeland, the chief investiator of the bureau, who was also the hlef of the workers under the Chlago vice commission. The report, which is Introduced by foreword by John D. Rockefeller, r., says 1G.J00 women Of the underworld ply their trade in one borough f New York alone. It scores the low auce hall as a chief cause of vice, overty Is given a secondary place as cause. Mr. Kneeland holds that ofBner women are victims in their igorance of the agents of commercialled vice. "It 1b idle," he says, "to explain way the phenomena on the ground tiat they are the results of the lnevitble weakness of human nature; hulan weakness would demand far fewr and less horrible sacrifice. "Most of the wreckage and the worse of it is due to persistent cunlng and unprincipled exploitations; 3 the banding together Jn famous enerprtses of madame. procurer, brothel eeper and liquor vender to carry on eliberatelv a coid blooded traffic for heir Joint profit, a traffic, but It addd. from which the girl involved prourea at the moBt, with few excepioiia, her bare aubsiateuce, and that nly bo long as ahe has a trade alue." "Prostitution hae become a hostess," Mr. Kneeland writes, "the prolotere of which continually scan the eld for a location favorable to their peratlons, and the field is the entire Ivlllzed world. No legitimate enterrlse la more shrewdly managed from 11b point of view; no variety of trade dJuBtB Itself more promptly to condllona, transferring its activities from no place to another as opportunities ontract here and expand there. "While keepers of houses are also roouers, there Is a group of men who evote themselves singly to this work, 'hese are the typical 'white slavers,' hose trade depends entirely upon the xlatence of houses of prostitution 'he c&det has not yet developed Into professional procuer or keeper of house. He enters the business when e either ruins a young girl for his iture profit or becomes the lover und rotector of a prostitute already In the usiuess. "The women who run houses have, s a rule, risen from the ranks. They ere once street walkers or purlor ouse Inmates, who possess unusual uslness talents. They have learned le scerets of the trade; they know le kind of Inmates to get and where > get them. They know how to deal '1th customers and how to make lem spend money. "For several years thirty $1 houses r prostitution in the tenderloin have een operated ns a 'combine' under the irect control of 15 or more men. The idltlduala in question have been In iisiness for many years In New York Ity as well aB in other cities, both In lis country and abroad. They buy Qd sell shares In these houses among umselves, and It Is seldom that an iitslder. unless he be a relative, can 1 reek into the circle and share In the rofits. "The value of the shares depends pon the ability of the owners to lalntaln conditions m which the ouaes, being unmolested, are periltted to tnake large profits.
