By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, March 3.—Scores of per- sons, some from such distances as New York and California, are sald to have been attracted to a South Side house of which they have made a shrine and concerning which contra- dictory statements have been made. Many of these are declared to have reported themselves cured. Reports have been made that an apparition, an outline of a heart, had | appeared on the wall of a room in which a devout girl had dled and that crippled and diseased persons had been cured by the touch of an ob- Ject which had come in contact with the “sacred heart.” Father Long, in charge of the par- ish, was quofed as saving he had been unable to see the outline and | belleved only by the use of the imagi- i nation could It be visioned. Father Novakowski, priest of an- other parish, St. Brendan's, said that he visited the house, but that he did not see the apparition, although he said he had heard that other persons had reported having viewed it. The family of Lillian Daly, the dead | &irl, and neighbors, say that many persons, -ill or crippled, had come to the house, even from such distances! as California and New York, to re- ceive cures and that many had been benefited. The case of Lillian's brother Mimo- thy, who fell ill after her death, was cited by the family as one of the most strange. They said he had con- vulsions and was near death, but aft- er being touched with an object that had been placed over the heart on the wall he quickly recovered. —_— The cireular saw was invented by Sir Mare 1.

BUENOS AIRES, March 3.—Owing to the absence of the authorities of La Plata Museum, Dr. J. G.

It was announced after the examina- tion that the scientists believed his claim worthy of further investigation, and that they hoped steps would be taken to recover the skull, which re- mains in the home of the settler who discovered it. Dr. Wolf told the scientists that the presence of the sockets of the teeth in the upper jaw and other anatomical de- tuils of the skull precluded the possi bility that it was sculpture, though it is a solid pieca of sandstone. The scientists agreed that the region where the skull was found was of ter- tiary formation, according to the mod- ern classification. —_— ‘WOOL PRICES LOWER.
