Br the Assoclated Press HALIFAX, N. S, The four-masted Veronica was under command of a band of armed liquor pirates for three weeks before it was deserted and left drifting, a cripple of the seas crying for help, it was reported here last night when the craft was towed Into port. The master of the schooner and the two supercargoes refused to talk, but the te, a Scotchman, who c rs of service on the seven seas, told a story of modern pirates, compared to whom, he said, Orlental pirates of the China with whom he had come in contact were “gentlemen.” According to the mate, the Ve- ronica was boarded October 24, off Montauk Point, by 15 men who came ostensibly to purchase liquor, with which he said the craft was loaded. When they were aboard, the mate related, the men covered the Veroni- ca’s crew with pistols. Hi-jackers Sold Carxo. Taking complete charge of their prize, the hi-jackers proceeded to conduct a wholesale liquor business with small t. the mate sald, un- til nearly all the cargo was sold. While the pirates were in com- mand, it was said, the officers were kept locked in the chain lgcker, and the crew was forced undefthreat of violence to assist in dixposing of the cargo. Every night, it was reported, the entire crew was locked in a com- partment and kept under guard until the morning. November British schooner Then, after crippling the engines of | the Veronica, smashing her compa chronometer and other instruments by which she might be guided to port, the pirates went over the side as sually as they had arrived, leaving thelr victim an aimless hulk at the mercy of the elements. The mate said that the Veronica arifted about, her officers unable to take their bearings, until flares and rockets they sent up every night were seen by the liner President Harding Wednesday night, three days after they had been cast loose by their captor: ‘When the Veronica arrived here it was reported that not a drop of water remained aboard and that the supply of provisions was very low. Cham- pagne and whisky had been used by the crew to assuage their thirst in the absence of water, it was said. The crew, of the schooner, mostly foreigners who could speak but lit- . tle English, said that they had ship- ped on the Veronica four months ago in Bremen, ostensibly for a cruise to Melilla, Morocco. They said, however, that they had not seentland since the day of their sailing. They reported enormous bardships at the hands of the pirates. When the ecraft dropped anchor customs officers sealed up the re- maining liquor. No estimate was available of the value of the cargo which had been looted, or the amount the pirates recelved for what they had 20ld over the side.

Dr. famous James H. Breasted, world- Egyptologist, last evening related his personal experfences in viewing the tomb of Tut-ankh-Amen and told the significant facts which that discoverer added to the world's knowledge of ancient history. Dr. Breasted spoke before members of the National Geographic Society, to whom he was introduced by Dr. Gil- bert Grosvenor, president of the soclety. The importance of the finding of Tut-ankh-Amen's tomb lay in the fact that it revealed Egyptian culture during the world’s first peried of spiritual and intellectual emancipa- tion, the speaker said. He told how Tut-ankh-Amen's father-in-law had been the world's first great idealist and emancipator from older ideas in religion, art, and modes of thinking. He describéd a painting found on the back of a chair of the tomb as re- vealing this “modernism” of 3,250 years ago. This painting, incident- ally, pictured the pharaoh in a pose of conquest bearing out the Biblical description, “I will make thine enemies thy footstool.” Saw Statue Wink. In conquest lay the first inkling peoples had of world affairs, the speaker said. So long as they,re- mained in their Nile Vailey their con- ception of the world was limited to the fow square miles about their homes. But when the great Egyp- tian, Babylonian and Hittite expan- sions began the average man began to take a world view such s we find natural today with the help of news- papers, radio, the telephone and other communication means. This broader view affected the ancients’ outlook upon life, and out of it grew the con- ception of a universal God. Working in the tomb_was a weird experience at times, Dr. Breasted said. Upon one occasion he heard strange noises and then he thought he saw one of the 3,000~year-old statues wink at him. It developed that the noises were real enough—they came from the crackling of woodwork because of its exposure to different tempera- ture and humidity—and the winking of the statue was caused by a bit of the coating over one eye being slowly wafted backward and forward by a breeze. His first view of the treasures which had been sealed up for thou- sands of years was a dramatic mo- ment, the speaker continued. He sald the anteroom reminded him of a property room of a modern opera house in its sumptuous magnificence.

Nemo is to have its counterpart in reality, if recommendations embodied in the final report of the conference on ocean- ography to the Secretary of the Nav made public today, are put into prac . The U. S. S. Rainbow, which has re- cently been on service in the Orient, would be fitted out for oceanographic researches under the plan as outlined by Lieut. Comdr. George E. Brandt, U. S. secretary general of the conference. The region of the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean ~Sea, and neighbéring parts of the North Atlantic, extending: through the Panama Canal Into the Pacific, have been selected as the start- ing point of the expedition. . An esti- mated expenditure of $57,500 would be required at firs With Capt. F. B. Bassett, U hydrographer of the Navs, as its presi dent, the conférence recommended that research work in oceanography form a permanent part of naval activities. Those who took part in the conference included representatives of the State, Treasury, War, Navy, Interior, Agri- culture and Commerce departments, the Smithsonian Institution, the N: tional Academy of Sciences and Na- tional Research Council, the Library of Congress, the Carnegie Institution and Shipping’ Board, as well as Secretary Wiibur, Capt. ¥.

PHILADELPHIA, November 22.— —The production \of the perfect man by regulation of glands is predicted by Dr. E. Rodney Fiske of New York. Speaking at the convention of the Eastern Homeopathic Medical Asso- clation, he said that recent discov- eries concerning the function of glands of the human body had paved the way for production of the perfect man. Dr. Willilam H. Diffenbach, an X-ray !specialist, also of New York, said that by proper control of the function of glands a “foun- taln of youth” would be discov- ered, as failure of the glands to function was the cause of old age. “By properly regulating man'’s glands,” said Dr. Fiske, “we will not only be able to control his mental. characteristics, but also his physical appearance;’ it will be within our power to say whether he shall' be tall or short, fat or Mrs. H.

The siphon of the Great Falls conduit is so large that an automobile could be driven through it It is expected that the 29 miles of conduit, supplying water to Wash- ington, will be in operation by next May through sclentific discovery and the progress of knowledge and safe- guarding human life. Work in the north Pacific and north Atlantic Oceans would be undertaken at a later time, Among the scientific problems to be taken up are: Shapes, contours and depths of ocean basins; evaporation and rain, fog and snow over sea and land areas; distribution and periodic changes in atmospheric pressures and winds; ocean currents and vertical circulation of ocean waters; sea water chemistry: shifting of shore lines, warping of margins of conti- nents and submarine upheavals and dislocations; nature and composition of sea bottom; previous land connec- tions and changes in existing connec- tions betweeri continents; areas and features of submarine volcanism and earthquake movement; sedimenta- tion; light penetration in sea water and its bearing on plant and animal life; distribution of the intensity of gravity; distribution, relative abun- dance and interrelations of various forms of plant and animal life; visi- bility under different atmospheric conditions; height, length and veloecity of ocean waves, and the location and extent of flelds of static and electro- static disturbances and Investigations of other forms of atmospheric electric- ity. Included” in the practical results whigh the,conference expects are: Dis- covery of new fishiiig banks as aid 6 food supply; full understanding of climate and developing of better means of predicting weather condi- tlons; solutfon of weather problems affecting sea and air navigation; knowledge of °iceberg drifts: loca- tion of deposits of oll, ores and other economically important resources, and fmprovement of radio communication and reduction of operating cost of radio statfons. Specimens of scientific importance would be transferred to the National Museum for study, exchange or other disposition, agreed on with the Navy. Perfect Man’s Gland Regulation thin; whether his volce shall be tenor or bass. “By increasing- the action of sluggish glands and slowing down the over-active glands, remarkable results have been accomplished, and we are on the verge of even greater achievements which will make possible the production of the prefect man.” Dr. Diffenbach expressed the opinion that control of the duct- less glands was far superior to implantation of monkey glands for the restoration of Xouth. CHICAGO,” November 21.—The idea of the production of the per- fect man by the regulation of glands was characterized as “Uto- pian” at headquarters of the American Medical Association to- day. It was represented that existing medical knowledge of.the functions of glands and of changes that might occur in them was too meager to support such a theory.
