rg " SCIENTIFIC “JURY" T0PASS ON FOSSIL Bones of “Paleolithic Man” to Be Studied in New York. Much Skepticism Here. It With grave doubts -expressed by sclentists here regarding Dr. J. P. Harrington's clalm that he has un- earthed the bones of a paleolithic man in gouthern California, Dr. Jesse W. Fewkes, director of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smith- sonian Institution, is taking steps to day to settle the authenticity of the discovery, which, if it s established, will create a revolution in all pre- vious knowledge regarding man's origin. Dr. Fewkes has wired Harrington to prepare the bones for shipment to New York. Steps are under way to assemble In New York a group of thé country’s greatest anthropologists to examine the skeleton. It was first planned to bring the material here, but Dr. Fewkes found it would be more difficult to get a group of ex- Derts together in the Capital. Declines to Give Opinion. Dr. Fewkes is anxious to let the bones speak for themselves, and until he sees them refuses to express an opinion. He admits that the discov- ery s exceedingly improbable, but expresses confidence that Harrington had some good grounds for making the statements which have come from his California headquarters. Meanwhile other Washington sclen- tists are not so optimistic. None is willing to take lssue with Harring- ton until the bones are seen, but one sald yesterday that if the skel- eton proves to be that of a paleo- lithic man it will constitute one of the greatest hoaxes ever played on sclence since the only possible ex- planation would be that it had been dug up somewhere in central Europe aungl taken to California, burled, and hdn unearthed. ©One expert pointed out that the myund in which the *“300,000-year- old skeleton” was found could not have been excavated by Dr. Harring- ton in a scientific way, since he first penetrated it with a different object | in view—search for the,remains of American Indians of a geologic pe- riod common with that of men now living. Another said that Harring- ton i8 admittedly not an anthropolo- st, but an_ethnologist—that is, an pert in Indian languages—and con- sequently is likely not to have more than a superficial knowledge of bone structures and proper methods of ex- cavation. Calls Procedure Unsclentific, “So far as we can learn,” this man sald, “Dr. Harrington went right on Wwith the work after unearthing this specimen. This was ubscientific. More confidence could be attributed to his claims if he had at once placed guards around the mound, stopped digging and called in some expert ge- ologiats, of whom there are plenty on the 'Pacific coast, and some an- thropologists. Anthropologists pointed out yester- day that the meager descriptions of the skull received here are unscien- tifically phrased. They said that ths discovery of a skull of abnerrha thickness, of an unusually heavy ja and of great, ape-like teeth in reality means nothing unless the excavation is gonducted scientifically. The same might be turned up. they claim, in any Washington cemetery or espe- cially {n any Incian or Asiatic ceme- tery, although there would be no rea- son ‘te_beliove that the owner lived more than a few years ago. If Harrington's skeleton should prove really prehistoric, sclentists here claim, it would leave a gap of approximately 200,000 years until the next evidence of human life on the American continents. Thus far it has been impossible to find anything date ing back more than 10,000 years. It human life has existed 300,000 years ago, it is claimed, there would be abundant evidence of it In river chan- nels and rock quarries, and It cer- tainly would not be confined to the Pacific coast. Must Have Come From West. Human life for the have come from either rope, it is p;unted out. It might have come even from southern Asia a the South Sea Islands, because it s possible that the ocean currents flow- ing toward the American coast might have carried a man or BToup of men in small boats alive over the thou- sands of miles of water. But there are no ocean currents flowing from Europe, where the pre-Neanderthal Asla or Eu- man must have originated. The cur- | rents all flow from America to BEu- rope. The theory that man may have crossed by way of Iceland and Green- land, as did” Lief the Lucky, hundreds of thousands of years later, he scout- ©d because of the great distance be- tween these islands which can be navigated only in sturdy ships. It is further pointed out that every alleged prehistoric discovery yet in the Americans has proved either a fake or a mistake. Smithsonian In- stitution anthropologists receive so many reports of this kind, they claim, that they no longer take the trouble to go to the scene, but merely have the bones sent to them, assured that the mere formation, without regard to the geological enviropnment, will | disprove the claimed antiquity 5t tha | skeletons. Just now they have been asked to investigate reports that a race of dwarfs existed In southeastern New Mexico “during some prehistoric pefiod and have recelved reports of bome dlscoverles from several sources. They have asked that some of the bopes be shipped here, but claim that 1h§ theory of a strange race is pro- pofiterous. They will prove elther skfills of infants or skulls of normal- lyfsmall people, the anthropologlsts cigim. EXCAVATIONS CONTINUE. Harrington Declares Discovery ‘Will Upset Theories. the Associated Press. ANTA BARBARA, Calif, October -AS & result of further excavations ‘Jere the skulls of prehistoric men re found by Smithsonian Institu- R Investigators last Thursday, sclentists are more firmly convinced that one of the most important scien- tiffo discoveries of recent years ha been made. Minute inspeetion of the skulls and of the formation in which they were imbedded continues to point to the Kreat remoteness of the era in which the Santa Barbara man lived, de- clares Dr. J. P. Harrington, who un- covered the skeleton, reiterating his original assertion that the discovery would brinfi about & complete revi- sion of anthropological theories con- cerning the North American contl- nent. The skulls, with the beetling brows and receding foreheads, he de- clared, definitely establish, in his opinion, the fact that North America was discovered thousands of years before Columbus’ historic arrival by primitive ape-like men, just in the transitory period from anthropold to man, who crossed from Asia by way of Bering strait, found an uninhabited land and laid the foundation of aborigi- nal civilisation, The spot where the skulls lay fm- bedded in the hardpan is similar to the place where the primitive re- mains of the first inhabitants of Scotland were found, on what known as the “fifty-foot beach, ‘which, although now high and dry, ‘was on the ocean bed in the early days of the Neoiithic age, approxi- mately 35,000 years ago.

Such lavish orders are unusual in these days of bad exchange, but the waiter recovered from his as- tonishment and began to serve the guest. Soup, several meat dishes, frult and coffee were served. While the guest was smoking his cigar the waiter brought another plate of soup and later another meat dish. “What does this mean?’ the astonished and already fied guest. “The dollar has gone up again,” said the waiter. IMELLON CITES LAW INPINCHOT REPLY |Denies Charges and Says Governor Has Authority He Demanded in Letter. Powers which may be invoked by the state authorities in Improving prohibition enforcement conditions in Pennsylvania were cited by Secretary Mellon in a letter, published today, to Gov. Pinchot, in which he de- clared the Pennsylvania executive's assertions that the Treasury was not jco-operating by every means to that {end were “gratuitous and not found- led in fact” | Replying categorically to Mr. Pin- chot's criticism of federai prohibi- tlon enforcement in his letter to Mr. |Mellon of Sunday, the Treasury head declared in conclusion that it woula be more profitable to “expend en- |ergles” in an effort to ascertain the “real facts” and better enforce the law than in “unjustified criticism.” | Brewerles and distilleries detected {in violation of the law are being dealt with in strict accordance with its provisions, Mr. Mellon sald In citing the action taken in a number {of cases in Pennsylvania brought up {in Mr. Pinchot's letter. Before the | Pennsylvania _executive had raised e question, Mr. Mellon eaid, he had “already directed that a resurvey of breweries and of the allowances of alcohol for non-beverage purposes” be made in that state. Cites Pinchot's Authorities. While stating that, as desired by {Mr. Pinchot, he would authorize in| tederal permits the inspection of dis- tilleries and brewerles by the Penn- sylvania enforcement authorities, Mr. | |Mellon in this connection called the | | Bovernor's attention to “the authority | {for inquiry which you already have | |under the 1aws of your own state.” . Under this state authority, he sald, {the means of obtaining search wai rants for such a purpose were more | readily available than under the fed- eral statute. | “Before any question had been | raised by you,” the letter continues, “l1 had already directed that a re survey of breweries and of the allow- ances of alcohol for non-beverage purposes be made in the atate of ! Pennsylvania, and you may be assur- |ed that it is my purpose to do all that I can to enforce the law and faith- fully co-operate with you in that undertaking in the state of Pennsyl- vania. But I am, with great respect, constrained to say that it would stand 'all concerned in better stead If ener- gics were expended in a sincere ef- | fort, in the first place, to find what the 'real facts are as to those who ! are charged with the duty of enforce- ment, and, next, to enforce the law as best we can, and, at the same time, to recognize the futility of unjusti- | {fied criticism based upon an imper- !fect understanding of the facts.” Gov. Vinchot's inquiry whether Sec- I retary Mellon would authorize state | enforcement officers In Pennsylvania | {to make inspections of distilleries | and breweries was answered in the | affirmative by the Treasury head, who sured the governor that he desired o employ every means of bringing | closer co-operation between the fed- | |eral and state force Sanys Authority Exists. “But in this connection,” the letter adds, “l1 beg to call your attention to { the authority for inquiry which you ! already have under the laws of your own state. Your attention is respeet- fully called to section 8 of the Penn- sylvania act of March 27, 1923." Referring further to the powers which Mr. Mellon believes the Penn- sylvania law accords the state ex-| ecutive, the Secretary erts that | means of obtaining a search warrant {are much easier and that action can | | be more quickly had ugder the Penn- sylvania code than undér the Volstead act, Any officer of the state, from & justice of the peace up, has the pow- er to approve a search warrant, Mr. Mellon says, while federal agents in obtaining a search warrant must d pend upon a single United States commissioner In such district. Such a condition makes for difficulty in carrying out enforcement by federal officers, the letter points out. “Not' only are these provisions of | the laws of your state avallable to! you,” Mr. Mellon says, “but under seotion 22 of title 2 of the Volatead ' act the power to abate nuisances and | to issue injunctions preventing their continuance lies as well to the courts of the commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania as to the United States courts. They are open and accessible to you at all times and may be invoked ai any time by the prohibition enforce- ment officers of your state and, as previously stated, are often more readily avallable through local proc- esses of search warrant through the state authorities than they are the authorities of this department. Declares Regulations Ample. Mr. Mellon declares that the de partmental regulations respecting alcohol are ample and that the criti- cisma directed at them by the Penn- sylvania governor do not appear to offier anything constructive. Such cases of weaknesses —in the la- tions as have been brought to light, the Secretary says, have resulted in revisions intended to strengthen the code. He adds that where there has been violation “it is because of th {fact that_this department, like the state of Pennsylvania, is unable to ferret out and punish all infractions of the law and regulations.” | _Turning to specific instances in which Mr. Pinchot alleges violation of law by Pennsylvania concerns, Mr. Mellon declares that all three named, the Anthracite Brewing Company, Mount_Cari Flock Brewing Com- pany, Willlamsport, and Fink Brew- ing Company, Harrisburg, have been dealt with under the law and regula- tions. The first named paid $20,000 in_compromise settlement, the Flock company paid $7,902 in settlement of civil liability, and the Huruburs firm paid a compromij penalty of $39,000, according to the letter. New permits were not issued, Mr. Mellon says, until more than & year after each concern had been cited, quired by the Volstead act. Concerning the question as to what was to be done with respect to fiv: other firms, Mr. Mellon’ that in each i been issued and revocation proceed: 1 are nandlnf or the administra- tive machinery Is in motion for that rpose.

MANIFESTO PROZIBITED. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 30.—The soclalist trade unions in Saxony have decided to proclaim a three-day general strike throughout Saxony, beginning this morning, it is announced in Dres den advices dealing with the develop- ments consequent upon the Interven- | tion of the federal government in that | state. The publication of a manifesto addressed to the public by Dr. Zeigner, the ex-premier, on the situation in Saxony has been prohibited by the military authorities. Dr. Carl Heinze, the newly ap- ointed commissioner of the reich in Saxony, has issued an appeal in which he says his chief task is to restore order in Saxony with the help of the military and to put an end to plunder- ing and terrorism in the streets and factories. Dr. Heinze simultaneously an- nounced the names of the officials who are carrying on the administra- tion of the state until the new gov- ernment is formed. The military governor of Saxony has prohibited all political meetings. COAL PACT EUIOBED. By the Assoclated Press. DUESSELDORF, Ocufl?er 30.—Hugo Stinnes and a pafty of industrial as- sociates arrived in Duesseldorf today and immediately went into conference with M. Franzen, head of the inter- allied mine and factory control com- mission. The conference was secret, but there were rumors that the members of the Stinnes group had come prepared to sign an agreement for the resumption of reparation deliveries been in process of negotiation for several weeks. It is uncertain as yet whether the agreement, if it is ‘signed, will be made public here or in Paris, but it is considered probable the official text will be issued from the French for- eign office. Among the rumored terms of the | proposed accord is an agreement by the industrialists to begin deliveries at once, Berlin agreeing to reimburse tore for such deliveries after April next, and a for the Interven- ing period at some future date not yet fixed. McCORMICK’S VIEW BRINGS CRITICISM (Continued from First Page.) ecommission in June, 1922, invited J. P. Morgan to come to Paris and so also were other international finan- clers and business men invited. The governments did not send any dele- | gates and were not committed by what their nationals said, or did any one in the United States Senate raise a finger of objection at the time. So Mr. McCormick’s suggestion that | George M. Reynolds of Chicago should be named cannot influence the Amer- ican government because the repara- tions commission will undoubtedly choose some American banker who is willing to undertake the flotation of an international loan if a practicable plan for financing Burope by private bankers is ever agreed upon and t! Morgans are known to have the co: fidence of both the French and Brit- ish governments to & degree unpar. leled by any other American inve ment company. Counted om by Optimists. This factor alone is counted upon by the optimists, who hope for a satisfactory settlement of Europe's problems. Only men in whom the French and British governments have confidence will be able to get any- where with a statement of what Ger- many can or cannot pay, and what kind of a loan will attract American and other investors. Mr. Reynolds, on the other hand, is one of the group of American bankers who con- sistently has opposed American en- trance {n Europe financial affairs. There were rumors that President Coolidge would, before the end of the day, let it be known just wherein he disagrees with Senator McCormick’s tatements, so that it would not be supposed the statement was issued with his consent or approval. Mr. Coolidge has not been direcly eriti- cized in public by any of the repub- lican senators since he took office, and the charge that he is permitting American taxpayers to pay for Eu- ropean defaults and mistakes is not likely to go unanswered. ‘The Illinols senator, however, says be isn't through yet and that tomor- row he will have another blast. He thinks it is up to him and others in his group to keep the administration from l'elflni‘ ntangled in European affairs and he does not have confl- dence that men like Secretary Hughes and others who favor co- operation with Europe will limit their programs simply to advice, but will any, Shenandoah; Liberty Products ‘ompany, Aliquippe; Mellet and Nich- ter, Pottaville; uth Fork Brewing Company, SBouth Fark, and the Rettig Brewing Cnmpln{, Pottsville, Investigations into all of these are cited by the Secretary as instances where federal agents worked with state officers instead of handicapping at enforcement, as Mr. his lotter - e rr ings s which had | opened to the public at noon.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., October 30.— David Lloyd George, stopping in Phila- delphla today for a few hours in his swing through the country, was cor- jdially recelved wherever he appeared. Arriving ehortly after 7 am., before the reception committee was on hand, the British war premler remained aboard his car until 9:30, the sched- uled hour for his official entry into the city. During this period he was informed of the passing away of his friend and former colleague, Andrew Bonar Law, dispatched a message of. eympathy to the daughter of the dead statesman and 1paid a public tribute to him. At the station, three hundred singers sang Welsh songs as the former premier ate breakfast, and continued to Sing as he left his car and started for City Hall. Sits in Historic Chatr. The official welcome took place on City Hall plaza, where Mayor J. Hamp- ton Moore gave him the freedom of the city. As a band played “America,” Mr. Lloyd George turned to the mayor and sald that a Welshman composed the last three bars of the music, and for that reason, he smilingly added, he felt he was somewhat of an American him- self. At Independence Hall, to which the British statesman and his party | was driven through crowded lanes | of people waving American and Brit- ish flags, Mr. Lgoyd George was in- vited to’ sit in the chair occupled by John Hancock when he presided | over the meeting at which the , Detroit, ver, Win- At- St Other script on the label was said | Declaration of Independence was slgned and also occupled by George Washington when he presided over the conatitutional convention. Dame | Margaret and Miss Megan Lioyd George were similarly invited. The former British premier looked at the chair for a time and, turning to the ass the Declaration room, said: Calls It High Homor. “It is indeed a high honor which you are conferring upon me by giv- ing me the distinction of sitting in the chair occupled by one of the great men of the world, during one of the discussions which had a pro- found effect upon my country and which altered tHe whole course of human history.” l)uvld. Lloyd George signed the visitors' register and studied the liberty bell intently, reading its in- scription as it hung in its glass case in the corridor of the historic building. On his way from Independence Hall | to the Academy of Music, where the | British statesman was scheduled to | address the Philadelphla Forum, he was enthusiastically greeted by | thousanus of persons.
