Some think he died peacefully, with a mourning family about him, and was interred with proper | ceremonies in a conventional grave. Others think he was stepped on by a rhinoceros. Still others think he got stuck in the mud and was torn to bits by ravenous alligators. A Few Years' Difference. Some think he died a few hundreds or a few thousands of years ago. Others ! think that the date of his demise was | closer to a half million years in ast. the Both sides brought up their artillery | at a special meeting of the Geological Society of Washingion at the Cosmos Club last night. Dr. Gidley told of excavating near Melbourne, Fla. and uncovering three beds geologically different. The Arst and lowest was composed largely of sea shells and sand. indicating that it was an old ocean bottom. The second was composed of fine white and light-brown such as might have been blown jover the uncovered sea bottom when Brig. Gen. Herbert O.

He | insisted that 30 or 40 instances are on | ! record where human remains or arti {-cu have been found among Aftonian | posits in various parts of North rica.

Bones Fossilized, Besides, he told the Geological So- ciety, nobody dug graves for the ele- phants, and their bones are in exactly the same state of fossilization as those of the man. But Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mol- lusks at the National Museum, comes to the support of Dr. Hrdlicka’s con tention with evidence fromn an unex- pected source. He has examined the re- mllnl of mollusks taken from the same | layer, he told the society, and finds thal they ‘are mostly those of species living today, and which came quite recently | o the East Plorida coast have spent nearly every Winter for the Jast 15 years in Florida” Dr Bertsch said nd I have flown over this country many times.

But with maise it is different. It has un- dergone such a long period of develop- ment at the hands of man that we can- not associate it with its wild progenitor. For 20 yvears students of the history of crops have been amazed at its great antiquity.” Dr. C. W. Cooke presented the view- | point of the geologists concerning the age and distinctness of the layers and brought further evidence to suppor: the contentions of Drs. Gidley and Hav. His point is. Dr. Gidley sald. that man existed in American cotempo- | raneously with the Pleistocene animal: many of which are in eiistence toda The strange creatures which have per- ished, like the glyptodon and the giant sloth, he said, were not. more primitive creatures than the living mammals, but actually more specialized, so much so that they could not survive a sudden chmgr. Races of vertebrates are short-lived, Dr. Hay said in answer to Dr. Barisch, in comparison with the simpler ypes. such as mollusks, and the fact that most of the later types found in the Florida beds are still living 1s no argu- ment. There has been no considerable | evolution of vertebrate types since the start of the Pleistocene, or period of the varfous ice ages, and the only change has been that some have dis- appeared entirely, he insisted. There were two great invasions of the Nortlr American continent by verte- brates, he said, one of which came from Asia and is represented by the bison, the elephants and the camels, and the other, from S8outh America, represented SUTER MAY CLOSE | CVIC ACTVITIES Former Federatlon Head Has ' Resigned as Delegate From Takoma Park.
