Members of the house had their first act of comedy when Mulhall's testimony was read, The witness tes- tified that he was placed on the pay roll of the state health department as «n inspector at $200 a month during last March. “I was an Inspeetor,” Mulhall tes- tified, “and was doing as little as I could. My expenses {n Oklahoma City in doing good and enjoying my- self was from $800 to $1,000 a month, so the $200 health department ex- pense money did me little good.” Asked what duties he had perform- ed, Mulhal] replied: “I examined quite a few restau- rants in Henryetta, but I did not pay much attention to them. “Everybody fn the health depart- ment was green,” Mulhall added. “No- body knew anything about anything. ! Nelther did I I inspected a fruit stand once, ate all the fruit I could and told_the man he oyght td do bet- | ter. I aid not make'a report be-! cause the man was a foreigner and I couldn’t spell his name.” Mulhall declared “Certainly I think I earned my money.

VIENNA, October 24.—Incomplete re- turns in the legislative elections indi- cate that the major parties will main- tain their relative strength in the na- tional assembly, but that the pan-Ger- mans apd the lesser groups have: been practically eliminated.” The general re- sults of the elections are regarded as an fndorsement of the administration of Chancellor Seipel and the Geneva plan for the rehabilitation of Austrla. The latest returns give the following totals by parties of those elected: Chris: | tian socialists, 82; soclalists, 59, and ! pan-Germans, A number of prominent pan-Germans, like Dr. Dinghoter, president of parlia- ' ment, and Leopold Waber, former min- | ister 'of the interior, were not elected.

In 1922 the Kiruna field used to send three shiploads of ore dally to the Norweglan port of Narvig. At present there is searcely a shipload a weck. Germany formerly took the greater part of this ore, She has the furnaces to handle if, but her pur- chascs have ceased sinte the flurry in the Ruhr, England and France have ne fur- naces sultable to the reduction of the Swedish ave. The Bethlehem Steel Company has furnaces which are capable of using this are, and some of to America. Sweden exported nearly 5.500,000 metric tons of iron ore in 1923, 'and over 80 per cent of this went to Germany.

' By the Associated Press. VICTORIA, B, C., October 24.—Fred- erick K, Morris of New York, mem- | ber of the Roy Chapman Andrews party of American sclentists, who have obtained proof of the existence of the dinosaur egg in the wilds of Mongolia, arrived here yesterday from the far east aboard the Empress of Russia, bringing with him skeletons of titanotheriidae and other fossilized remains of paramount importance to science. The titanothefiidae are said to bave been the missing link in the race of great reptilian monsters of prebis- toric ages. The Andrews party found in the rocks near the Altai mountains per- fect skeletons of the aratopsian di. nosaurs and a nest of nine eggs. In one' egg was an embryomic dinosaur in perfect form. The part ward of seventy ‘skeleton®, complete or fractional, and twenty-five eggs of the prehistoric monsters. *The party found a dinosau¥ with its collar of platted bones of a size and form that is intermediary to_all for- mer discoveries, he stated. It forms the missing link between the horned and the unhorned reptiles known to the world before. It was asserted by Morris thdt it was the ancestor of a similar race found on the American continent. Noting and analyzing the results of ‘the two years in the field will keep the scientific world busy for 100 years, stated Morris, found up- | “GENTLEMEN” SA UP RIVER OF DEATH Adventurers Enter Cobra of Borneo, Whence None Has Ever Returned. Speeial Dispatch to The 8t SAN FRANCISCO, October 20.— PFighteen “gentlemen” sailors, who early last spring sailed out of the Golden Gate for the South seas aboard the old clipper. ship Nar- whal, are in a fair way toward realizing the thing which they set out to seek, namely adventure of the hair-raising variety, with poesible death thrown in. The Narwhal and her motley crew, made up of almost as many different nationalities as there are members, todey Is somewhere up the mygterious Cobra river in Borneo. Seafaring men who have ventured into the South seas declare the river is as deadly as its name, Nome Ever Returns. Never before has it been success- fully explored by white men. Sev- oral parties of adventurers in the past twenty years have sought to solve its secrets and bring back to the_outside world the story of the couiitry and the people in the jungle fastness which it penetrates. ~ None of the exploring parties has ever returped. Neither have they ever been heard from again. According to a letter received here, the Narwhal started its adventurd oruise up the Cobra more than a month ago. The river {s navigable for larg: vessels for Lundreds of miles into - the interior depths of Bory At the last South seas’ port where the Narwhal stopped fo take on fresh supplies it was announced that all of her crew would attempt the hazardous trip. Plans are for the Narwhal to proceed up the river | 2s far a8 It proves navigable for her and then for the crew to take to small boats and explore the Cobra clear to its source. Should the party emerge safe and sound, unlike all” others that have ventured up the Cobra, the world promises to be considerably enriched by their journeyings. Not only are they carrying along arms and ammu- nition for big game hunting and trapping, hut three motion plcture cameras' and thousands of feet of film arg ‘a part of the Nagwhals outfit. Two movie photographers will attempt to secure for an American film company pictures of the strange and cannibalistic people that are said to be found along the Cobra in its far interior reaches. Hunters aboard the Narwhal also will seek to| bring back specimens of rhinoceros. clephants, orang-utan and several species of deadly snakes. 0f Diverse Nations. The cruise of the Narwhal is one of the most picturesque in modern seafaring history, Including among the cighteen “gentlemen” sallors are @ former Russian nobleman, two titled Englishmen, an arctic explor- er. two Frenchmen, who have huntéd big game in Africa; & former Amer- ican naval commander and two Ger- who once were plantation s in the Solonmon Islands. he Narwhal was salvaged from the mud flats of the Oakland estuary i and outfitted solely for the adventuro cruise.

Should the story of the Germans prove true and the fortunc be recovered, half of it will be di- vided up among the other sixteen crew members. Many stories regarding the adven- tures of the Narwhal's crew alrcady have drifted back home. In_her Gruise across the Pacific to Pago Pago @ hard boiled and hard fisted mate who did not believe in the goviet system of social equality aboard ship_compelled most of the “gentle- men” sailors to scrub decks, take turns in the cook's galley and do other menial tasks. There was a near-mutiny, but was_ promptly put down by the mate with a belay- ing_pin. When the Narwhal finally made Pago Pago the crew fired the mate. They had to pay the mate a whole year's salary and his transpor- tation home. < ¥Fled From Amazons. In the mleantime native belles at Pago Pago insisted that several mem- bers of the crew marry them and take up their permanent abode as South Sea Islands husbands, and a near bat- tle was staged with natives when they turned down the invitations. So little is known of the Cobra river, where the Narwhal's crew is now 'seeking its latest adventures, that their experiences cannot even De cbnjectured. Veteran mariners who have been in Borneo waters, however, all tell like stories of fits reputed deadliness for white adven- turers. Among other things, it is said to swarm go thickly with eroco- diles of such huge size that a small boat does not dare venture into many parts of it. ANESTHETIST ASKS AID.
