Even with a Cong ss in which the La Follette radicals hold the balance of power, for they remain in office until nex March, the President canm, if he chooses, present a measure for amendment of the presen act, and some of the insurgent Republicans may not be as anxious to oppose Mr. Coplidge as they were several month, ago. The election returns may had a salutary effect on those who would obstruct merely for individual or partisan advantage New Tax Data Sought. With reference to the present tax law, there will be some interesting data sought from the Treasury as to the productivity of the new rates. It wouid not be surprising to find that the real reason for the surplus is not the lower rates at all, but the enforcement of the law. Several new administrative provisions were in- serted the Treasury in the last law based upon experience with evasions and avoidance. Many loop- holes have been plug. Even had the old 1922 rates remained on the statute books there would have been increased revenues due to improved administration. There is also the im- provement in business conditions to be taken into account. Unquestion- ably there will another drive for tax revision an economy in Gov- ernment expenditure. It's the biggest issue of the moment next to an agri- cultural program, and President Cool- idge will have something to say on both when he sends his message to Congress and presents the budget for the next fiscal year. SPIRITUALIST SOCIETY LEADERS ARE ACCUSED 11 Arrested on Fraud Charges ‘When Reporter Is Qualified as Healer, Ry the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, November 8—W. A. Jackson, president of the National In- dependent Spiritualists’ Association, and 10 other officers and directors of the organization were named in war- rants issued here last night charging criminal conspiracy, fraud and lesser offenses. The warrants were based on the al- Jeged issuance to a Los Angeles Times Teporter of a certificate of ordination s 4 minister of the gospel, a charter for a church and an indorsement as a spiritual healer and medium for a consideration of $150. Maj. W. J. Stokes Dead. The War Department is Informed that Maj. Wilfred J. Stokes, Army Veterinary Corps, died at Sternburg General Hospital, Manila, P. I, No- vember 3. He was a native of Canada and was appointed from Illinois to the Veterinary Corps in June, 1916.

Good Also Present. Others who saw the President were former Representative Good of Iowa, who was Western campaign manager for Coolidge during his pre-conven- tion campaign, and who has been ac- tive since. It is thought likely that when the big plurhs are being handed out after March 4 Mr. Good will not be forgotten. Among other callers wera Col. Thomas W. Miller, alien property cus- todian, who has accepted the presi- dency of the Interallied War Vet- erans director of the Veterans' Bureau; As- sistant Postmaster General Bartlett, tepresentative Madden of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committce, and Admiral Eberlo, head of the naval board. Among the numerous messages of congratulations pouring into the White Houso are an unusual number of invitations to the President to take part in various occasions and visit in various towns, it was said. Mr. Coolidge, however., finding it necessary, it was explained, turned down most of the invitations, at least temporarily. The President has received invita- tions from the Chamber of Commerce of Gainesville, Fla., and from New Orleans, among other cities, but it was said at the White House that he made no definite plans in this regard. — PREDICTS NEW QUAKES.

The standing of employe dismissal | has lived on earth probably from 15,000 to 18,000 years, Dr. Ales Hrd- licka, head of the department of phy- ical anthropology Institution, said yesterday in the |third of a series of lectures in which he is presenting the total bulk of ex- listing evidence on human evolution | Various man-like creatures, how- ever, ranging from approximately half-way between ape and human to a physical and mental develop- ment very close to that of the white race today, can be traced back ap- proximately a half million years from skeletal remains which have come to light during the last half century, he said. Exhibits Skull Casts. Dr. Hrdlicka exhibited for the first time what is perhaps the most com- plete collection of evidence on man's descent ever made. This consists of a number of exact casts of ths squlls and skull fragments of these dis- coveries, some of which were made by Dr. Hrdlicka himself last Summer. These relics, upon which alone any connected theory can be based, now are scattered through ! and universities of Furope, so that it has been necessary to make long journeys in order to compare them. ome of them tend to throw valuable light on the long-disputed problem of the “missing link” in evolution, he said. In fact, he believes that they may represent “missing” links. The theory that human beings were evolved from a lower form of life was first given wide circulation about the middle of the last century by Dar- win's revolutionary work, “The Origin of the Species,” and has remained a storm center of discussion ever since. Arguments for and against have been based on the facts cited by Darwin in support of his contentions. Evidence of Darwin. “But we have gone far beyond Dar- win,” Dr. Hrdlicka said. “We must admire the remarkable clarity of Dar- win's reasoning on the data at hand. But we must remember that at that time Darwin had never seen, probably had never heard of, any actual bones of precursors of man.” After showing the skull casts them- selves Dr. Hrdlicka threw on the screen a series of pictures showing whatt these pre-men probably looked like when living—fearsome, hairy creatures with the dawning of human intelligence in their ridged eyes and low foreheads. The first actual discovery of impor- tance was made. he said, in 1849 by some soldiers excavating for a gun foundation on the Rock of Gibraltar. This was a revolutionary event in an- thropology, showing definitely the existence at some time of creatures which were mentally superior to apes and yet not the equals of men, which hitherto had only been conjectured.

HRDLICKA TELLS SCIENTISTS Says Present Race Goes Back About 15,000 Years, | With Pre-Men Extending 500,000—Real Fossil Skeletons Revealed Here. The present human race, true man, | browed affair, with prominent ridges over the eyes, and compared it With the skull of an ordinary white man of today. The distinction stood out clearly for the audience in this com- parison. The second discovery of note was made in Westphalia in 1856—that of the Neanderthal man. Dr. Hrdllcka showed a cast of this skull obtained from the Royal College of Surgeons in London. It is larger than the Gibraltar skuull and indicates a con- iderable period of evolution between the two. Cave of Spy Relies. The third step came in 1888 with the discovery of a number of skeleton remains in the Cave of Spy, near Brussels. Among a great many bones of ancient animals were two human or pre-human skulls. One was almost an exact duplicate of the Neander- thal man. The other, which ob ously dated from the same period because of the rock strata and the accompanying relics, showed a sharp step forward. The ridges over the eyes were reduced and the forehead rising. This may represent, Dr. Hrdlicka said, human evolution ac- tually in progress—a sport from the normal race of that day which be- came the ancestors creatures nearer man. Importance of Java Man. In 1891 a Dutch colonial surgeon in Java, hunting for fossil animal remains, discovered a fossil tooth which he could not place. It was unlike the tooth of any ape and bore some resemblances to the tooth of a man. A little later he found a skullcap nearby which bore evi- dence of having belonged to the same creature as the tooth. Since then two more teeth, a femur bone and a portion of a lower jaw, have been found in the same locality. This, Dr. Hrdlicka said, is perhaps the most important discovery ever made in this field. The remains date back approximately a half million years and represent the earliest date of known manlike creatures on carth. These remains are now at Haarlem, Holland, and a skull cast, just re- celved here, constitutes the most valued bit of evidence in the Smith- sonian collection. It represents a -creature with a brain very nearly at the lower limit of the human brain of today and is of a form utterly unlike anything in ape The other bones also indicaté of way between a high primate, such as a chimpanzee, and real man. This creature lived either just before the last ice age or at the start of it. Between 1895 and 1905 near Agram in Croatia were dug up 18 human skeletons representing a very impor- tant link in the chain of evidence. They - are brachycephalio—that is, ‘with markedly broad skulls while the (Reviewing officer) by means of which t nnually, May ight to thei others had been rather | skulled. Some of these 11].{“1’;: from approxin ely | period, were very in RSt iNG o o fiey | progress. Some of the jaws, ticular, were very primitive Romance of Discovery. | The next important step was the | discovery of the Heidelberg skull in |1907. In connection with this ‘Dr. Hrdlicka has uncovered one of the real romances of science. The dis- covery was made in a sand bank in |an old-fashioned German village near | Heidelberg - Universit This _ sand narrow all the same ition in in par- | various kinds and the university made it a practice to buy these for small sums from the workmen who uncovered them. With the lure of ex- tra money these workmen became very skillful in telling what was val- uable in their finds. The run of fos- I1s consisted of bones of ancient lions and elephants, precursors to the present species, which showed that a semi-tropical climate had existed in | the vicinity of Heldelberg at one time. One day the workmen came across la “skull so massive and inhuman that it frightened them. They were about to throw it away when the | foreman’s attention was called to it. | Now this man, who still lives in the ame village and was interviewed by Dr. Hrdlicka last Summer, had edu- cated himself into a good working knowledge of anthropology. A poor villager, he recognized the value of the discovery. . He could easily have | obtained a militon gold marks for it. | Instead, purely for the advancement of science, he gave it to Heidelberg University free and is still a poor man. The skull, Dr. Hrdlicka said, rep- resents a definite middie ground be- tween the Java man and the Neander- thal man. The first is approximately a half million years old. The Heidel- berg man dafes back from 200,000 | to 350,000 years The Neanderthal man dates somewhero betwoen 100,- {000 and 30,000 or 35,000 years ago. Next comes the discovery in 1908 in Sussex of the Piltdown man. This creature represents another of that race of precursors to man neither apes nor humans but showing a dis- tinct trend toward becoming humans. Ascent of Man. Dr. Hrdlicka then showed relics of | man rapidly ascending the scale from | discoverles in southern France, such {as the Cro-Magnon man—creatures who were not quite the men of today, but who had learned to make weap- ons, had developed a sort of religion or superstition, and at least some of | whom had developed some artistic | ability, as shown by pletures of ani- mals on the walls of their caves. He said that yesterday, for | | the the United States some actual prehis- toric skeletons, those of Salubrian men from Europe. These are almost impossible to obtain. They are rare and are guarded preciousiy by the countries where they are found. The only instance on record of a sale was that of a Mousterian man, dug up in France, to the Kaiser for 200,000 gold marks. From the appearance of true hu- man skeletons it is but a step to the dawn’ of recorded history—that of ancient Egypt—Dr. Hrdlicka said, so that today there is a fairly good rec- ord of the various steps from the apelike creatures to men.
