'Will Record Dances and Songs ‘With Phonographs. LONDON. June 1 (Correspondence. —An expedition. which 1s expected to produce results of great sclentific and economic importance Is being sent from Adelaide, South Australia, to ex plore unknown lands in the northern territory. It is being financed by Donald Mackay of Sidney. New South Wales. The expedition wiil carry on research in geography, xeology and anthropology, and will look for pre cious metals in which this part of Australia is reputed to be enormously wealthy. The leader of the expedition s Her bert Basedow, protector of the! aborginies and the author of a book | recently published on the Australian| aboriginal, a subject on which he is a great authority. Jt was manly due 1o the efforts of Mr. Basedow that the government a few years ago set aside A huge tract of land in the northern 1erritory and western Australia as & reserve exclusively for the occupation of the aborigines. The expedition will carry # motion pleture camera. and phonographs in! order to record the native dances and corroborees and their = .

CAUSE PLEA FOR AID Greeley TUrges Public to Guard Against Carelessness Which ‘Might Bring Fires. By the Associated Press. Reports of 31 forest fires on five na tional forests in California and the droughty cendition of some parts of the country at present, caused W. R.

It is also proper to re- mark that when finding himseif in this position with respect to the bond that he gave under the order of court of September 10, 1924, he was then a ‘solicitor-attorney’ or agent of the bonding company which went on this bond or undertaking as his surety and entitled to receive, as between himself and the bonding company, from it, compensation based upon one-fourth of the premium pald to the bonding company; & compensation which, he contends, he could not allow or pay . for or in behalf of any person, firm or corporation’ doing business in the District of Columbla and not licensed, @s provided by the said sec- tion 654 of the Code. He therefore confronted this situation: The pre- mium to be paid to any surety that might go on his bonds was a charge that would later be made and allowed agalnst the estate of his ward. If he accepted from the bonding company a portion of that premium so (o be charged against his ward's estate, he could not report the amount so re- ceived by him, he contends, as an as- credit of the estate, for to do so would be to violate the provisions ! of the said sectlon 654 of the Code.

The court does not find it necessary to pass upon the intent and meaning of sec tion 654 and the contention made in behalf of the exceptant with refer ence to that section, but it must not be assumed therefrom that the court agrees to the meaning and Interpreta tion placed upon it by the exceptant or_his counsel.” ¢ In referring to “the mistake of judx ment or misconception of what his Justice Siddons said this is “empha- sized by the fact shown by the re- port of the auditor in the Edward F. Hoff, lunacy No. Mr. Fenning. the committee in that case, himse!f submitted to the court in the first instance the question whether he should account for a com an investment for the benefit of that other estate. The report ' of the auditor now under consideration by no means makes this clear, as will be seen by reading paragraph numbered his report in the instantcase. M In doing this in the Hoff ca Fenning observed the cauiion indi cated by the quotation above fro Story, sectlon 1675. He would have ! avoided grounds for criticism had he followed the course in the instant case that he pursued in the Hoff case.” Auditor’s Reasons Set Forth. The reasons for the auditor’s action in denying Mr. Fenning any commis. tee or guardian, are set forth in the report which Justice Siddons quotes, as follows: “'One of the factors influ- encing the auditor in denying Mr. Fenning any commission whatever in the present account, is the fact that ctically only routine matters were andled incident to this accounting.” Justice Siddons then said: “The routine matters hahdled were the doing of those very things which part of Mr. Fenning's du- ties as committee, the collection and preservation of assets, of which he | collected during the period covered by | the accounting $1,014.39; providing the ward with clothing and funds. Of course, he became responsible for the assets thus collected, as he was also responsible for the preservation of the corpus or principal of the estate, | | | { amounting to $12,820.26. “The auditor entertained no such view in making Mis report to the court | on the sixth account, where nothing more was done in character except the investment of $1,600 in Liberty loan bonds, by the committee, than what he did during the period cov- ered by his final report, which was’ the subject matter of the pending pro- ceeding. While it may be true, and probably is true, that there was not very much time or labor involved in doing what he did do during the pe- rlod of accounting, to characterize it i Wife of Locel Dentist Dies After THE EVENING STAR.

Ing compensation to a trustee when submilting his account to the auditor, 1t _means, In effect, that he must be penalized for accounting. hecause oth arx who may be interested in seeing | to it that a proper accounting ix made attend a hearing before the auditor under circumstances that involve ex pense 1o them. On principle. of course, no such rule can be recognized. “It_is evident that the auditor had in mind penalizing the trustee in this case. hut lie does not rest his decision upon that ground at all. ““fhe court will consider this second exception from the standpoint as to whether or not under the facts rve- | vealed by the evidence all compensa tion should he withheld from Mr. Fen ning because of his action In receiving, without disclosing or accounting there- for. the share of bond premium already deslt with under the first exception to the report No Fraud Nor Negligence. ‘It is well settled that it 1s not every breach of trust by a trustee that should bring upon him the forfeiture or denial of all compensation for per- forming otherwise properly the duty he owes lo the trust estate. “Actual fraud or gross negligence might require a penalty which, in addition to the consequences that might follow criminally the perpetra- tion of a fraud or in addition to civil liability for gross negligence, would take the form of loss of all compen- satfon. The evidence in this case does not, in the opinion of the court, re- veal any fraud on Mr. Fenning i nor does il reveal any gross negli- gence. Indeed as to the latter, no such contention is made. There is no evidence in the case that there was a dollar of loss 10 the estate of his ward, no evidence that he did not keep the accounts in a clear and proper manner, and indeed nothing is revealed in the evidence in the case that could be said to reflect upon the committee's performance of his duties as such, except that which Is in- volved in the question dealt with under the first exception.” Auditor Is Cautioned. Justice Siddon's comment on the presence of representatives of the Veterans' Bureau before the auditor’'s hearing on the Adler report is “The Court cannot doubt that the Veterans’ Bureau has a vital interest and concern in all that affects the welfare of those veterans to whom in large measure it has to deal for thelr advantage and benefit under the liberal treatment of them by the Congress of the United States, In laws duly enacted for the purpose. “Whatever may have influenced | the auditor to extend the invitation | that he did in this case to the repre- sentative of the Veterans' Bureau, it must not therefore be inferred or concluded that the court's authority to extend the invitation was sought by the auditor, for 1t was noi, nor was the court even apprised that the auditor contemplated taking such action. Whether it was a wise thiug 10 do or not, it is not necessur. for the cour. to determine. If the Vet- erans’ Bureau has such an interes: in such a case as makes it desirable and proper tkat it be made a party thereto, it is the cour*. and not the auditor, that a'one may &> order. I “A reference to the auditor 10 state an account must never he regarded by him as clothing him with authority to invite to attend and participate in the hearing on such a reference of any one other than the parties in in terest, their counsel or their guar- dians, committees, trustees or creditors having claims involved in the ac- counting. The Veterans' Bureau does not appear to be, under any provi sion of law. statutory or otherwise, a party in interest in such a case. “In conclusion, it should he re marked that what has been stated in the foregoing is intended as a caution to the auditor for his future guidance, and that before undertaking to do anything of the same kind, he must first procure the court’s authorization. In the present case his authority was limited by the terms of the order of reference to him of Mr. Fenning's final report and for the purposes stated in the order which has been already quoted, and nothing more.” POISON VICTIM DIES.

June 10.— A friendly contest between teacher and pupil is heing waged by Roy Chapman An- drews, noted explorer, and Dean George L. Collie, of Beloit College, to establish the home of the first man Collie, head of the anthropological department. belleves Africa was the habitat of the first man on earth. His former pupil, Andrews, seeks to prove man first lived in Asia The contest. which has been carried on for several vears. with Andrews the most active of the two, has dis- closed considerable evidence support- ing the contentions of both, but man's first home still is a mooted question “I do not hope in my lifetime to prove that Africa was the home of the first man” declared Dean Collie, “but I do hope to take some steps which may help others to decide the question. Many Back Andrews. “Andrews is certain that man origi nated in Asia and has the backing of many good scientists. As I told him a few months ago, ‘Let's each one of us go to It, and see which is the best guesser.’ Twenty vears ago Andrews was a student at Beloit aud his earliest les sons in anthropology and archeology were gleaned from lectures by Dean Collle. Andrews was graduated in 1908 and became a naturalist and ex- plorer. During the last ten years he has led three expeditions to Asia. Ex- cavations in Mongolia and other Asi- atic countries have unearthed speci mens which Andrews thinks substan tiate his contentions. Dean Collie will renew his studies this Fall when he goes abroad to con- tinue the explorations commenced by Alonzo S. Pond and others working under his direction. 01d Tools in Africa. In the Saf-Saf region, in eastern Al geria. he hopes to find tools that will ald him in following out his theory that man first lived in Africa. Tools found ‘there in previous explorations, indiecate to him that man was in Africa at a very early date, even if he did_not originate there. E The nearest relatives of man in the animal world are the large apes, he sald. “Man has not descended through these apes but they are a relatively close collateral branch of the primates. It is well known that the highest apes, the gorilla and chimpanzee, dwelt in Africa. If Africa was favorable for the development of the higher collateral branch of the human family there are possibilities that it would favor a closely related human famlly.

Pinchot before the re cent primary election that there were some 7,000 fraudulent registrations in Pittsburgh. This, he said, was based on an actual comparison of the regis- tration lists with the assessment and tax books and on an estimate of the increased number of registrations this Spring over registrations in the past He said that the examination of the Jists had shown that there were 2 persons registered who had not either been assessed or paid taxes, as they must be under the law 1o bhe regis tered. “How could they asked Senator Reed. “In these cases they presented fraudulent tax receipts.’” answered the witness. He sald that in past years a Spring registration has run .around 6,000 ‘more new names than were added to the registration list of the Fall before. This Spring, he said, the number jumped to 15.000 new names. Col. McGovern complained that the | appropriations for the registration | commission had been so curtailed that | it was tmpossible for the commission to make a proper detailed check of the registration. He said that under the | law the commission had to subpoena | | persons whose registration is chal | {lenged.
