When Chief Hunt was told thTs nwirn
Ing that n attempt would be ntadi

Most Ancient 1
Civilization
San VrinKliivi' A nrll IS. The eilTllt'St
American clvlliaflon. far ante-dating
the swnerally accented limits of pre-
Columbian culture, has been traced In
Psru by Dr. Max Uhle. director of the
anthroplogical excavations and ex
plorations of the University of Cali
fornia In that country. ' Where, here
tofore. Inea tradition had led scientists
to believe that Peruvian civilisation ex
tended back "only a few centuries be
fore the coming of the Spaniards, the
archaeologlcnl work of Dr. Uhle has
established the fact that a great civ-
lllltatlon nourished 2000 years earlier,
at the least estimate, and that a cul
tured race, of higher development than
the Incas, was In existence before the
Trojan war.
This remarkable discovery follows as
a result of the studies made In the two
expeditions which Dr.. Uhle led In re-
cent years at the expense of Mrs.
Phoebe Hearst and under the auspices
of the University of California.

"Macbeth." "
John Griffith, as Macbeth, made the
hit of the season, "Better than any
thing in years," perfectly grand," etc
ere the expressions used by those
who witnessed the play. That a per
formance of an unusually high order
was on was evidence by the unrest
and annoyance In the galleries. It was
too deep for the hoys and young men
who? capacity Is for minstrelsy and
vaudeville. They were out of place
and should have remained away. John
GrltlTlth was an entire satisfaction even
if he do 4 resemble Bryan and had
been under the doctor's care all day
yesterday. Warren Con lan as Mac
duff and Miss Louise Ripley as Lady
Macbeth made a house full of friends.
The costumes and scenery were of the
finest and were not abridged because
the play was given in Astoria Instead
of Chicago. If all plays were of the
ord?r of A idea Benedict's Macbeth not
much would be said against the stage.
but many people would have to remain
away because it is too realistic for
their nerve. , '

Although one of its principal pro
moters and the manager who in two
years brought It to bankruptcy. Thos.
B. McGowan. who was appointed re
ceiver for the Pacific Packing Navi
gation company, never owned more
than four shares In that company. On
account of this record John Cudahy,
the Chicago packer, has filed a petition
with the wooer court asking that Mc-
Gowan be immediately ousted from the
receivership. Mr. Cudahy states that
he was a shareholder In the Pacific
American Fisheries company, which in
two years cleared over 8300,000. This
was one of the concerns absorbed by
the P. P. N - H further says that
while the P. P. ft N. Co. was be
coming Insolvent, the Alaska Packers
association was paying nine percent
dividends. He thinks that Mr. McGov
em is an Improper person to handle
the affairs of the company, because
he is a larire shareholder in the Pacific
Selling company, which has had the
handling of the P. P. ft N. output.,
