FIND HISTORIC GRAVE
I
Mood at Battle Ground, IncL,
Washes out Skeletons.

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

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. The biggest t<
party this summer will be the 1,000 t<
persons who are going to Zurich to k
attend the International Sunday school t>
convention, to be held In June. They tl
are to he taken over by Cook's agency e
In two chartered eteamsblps. There c
will be a universal exposition at tl
Ghent, Belgium which will draw a o
number of tourists, and another expo- v
sltlon at Earl's court, London.

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;

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.
"If a composite photograph could be
