JONES. FRANKLIN D. JONES, LAWYER, 1§ DEAD | Author of Several Volumes on Trade Associations and Business. Franklin D. Jones, lawyer, author of several volumes on trade associations and business competition, and the first secretary of the Federal Trade Commis- sion, died suddenly in the office of his physician, Dr. W. A. Morgan, 1746 K street, yesterday. Death was attributed to heart disease. Mr. Jones, who was 41 years old, was & member of the law firm of Davies, Jones & Beebe, counsel for the Amer- ican Waxed Paper Association, the Paper Box Manufacturers’ Association and the National Kraft Paper Manu- facturers’ Association. He formerly had been counsel for the National Dairy Products committee and the National Wholesale Lumber Association. Recognized as an authority on trade associations, Mr. Jones’ book on “Trade Associations and Law” is considered in trade circles as an suthority, while an- other volume, “The Historical Develop~ ment of the Law of Business Competi- tion,” also is highly rated. Native of Nebraska. = Mr. Jones was a native of Webster, Nebr., the son of Daniel and Fannie Louise Roberts Jones. He was grad- uated from the University of Iowa in 1910 and later attended George Wash- ington University, where he was grad- uated in law in 1915. About the time of his graduation from George Washington he became con- nected with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission, serving as acting secretary and assistant secretary of that organization. Later he served as an at- torney for the commission and as a member of its board of review. He resigned from the commission in 1919 to become a partner of the newly jorganized law firm of Davies & Jones. | He was_one of the principal attorneys {in the Ford Motor Co. stock valuation | case and was prominently identified with numerous other important cases.

Funeral services will be conducted in St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Dr. Herbert Scott Smith, the rector, officiating. MAN’S APPEARANCE ON EARTH DEPICTED | BY CHICAGO SPEAKER sred, there is an abrupt first appearance. The several geological strata of earth known to precede immediately that in which men’s tools are found reveal no traces of man at all. The human evi- dence appears all at once, and there- after gives evidence of continuous ex- istence. Dr. Breasted described a new way of dating these early relics. This is to concentrate on search for remains em- bedded in layers of earth, the geological ages of which are known. It is as- sumed that the human evidence must have been deposited when the now buried stratum was forming on the en;th‘s lu’{“;{; Joglst, n Egypt tl Chicago geol ~an- thropologists found the “dated” strata in a place named the Fayum, about 60 miles south of Cairo, once the bed of a great lake. In the oldest of the strata there they found nothing indicating presence of human beings, but in the fitth from the bottom they discovered the tools of prehistoric man. Dr. Breasted said that in an early prehistoric era the Sahara was “a vast well-watered and vegetation-covered pla- teau.” He spoke at a symposium on the question whether Egypt or Babylonia had the earlier civilization. He favored Egypt's priority. FALLING BOOM KILLS 3. Several Injured and Missing in New York Accident.

BY THOMAS R. HENRY. A picture of civilized man of the future was presented by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of Smithsonian Institu- tion in the annual lecture of the Amer- ican Philosophical Society, oldest of American sclentific bodies, meeting in Philadelphia last night. Dr. Hrdlicka's conclusions were based upon the exact measurement of thou- sands of skulls and other skeletal mate- rial in the National Museum here and on numerous fleld measurements of liv- ing individuals. In this way he has been able to determine tendencies now operating which may be expected to continue for many years. ‘The man of thousands of years hence, as pictured by Dr. Hrdlicka, will be a sm.emgly different organism than the human being of today. “Man,” he sald, “is not _yet perceptibly near the end of his evolution. According to all indica- tions, he will for a long time keep on progressing in adaptation and differen- tiation. Main Human Stream. “But this applies only to the main stream of humanity, the civilized man. The rest will be more or less brought along or left behind. So far as can be discerned, there is no promise of event- | ual equality of races, and the gulf be- tween the front and back ranks wil probably increase. There will always be masters and servants. “The progress of the advancing parts of the race may be foreseen to be es- sentially toward greater mental effi- ciency and potentiality. It will be mainly & further differentiation and refinement of the brain and of the sensory nervous system. It is the factors that call for such further devel- opments that predominate even more in the modern world. The further mental developments may be expected ; {to be attended by an additional in. crease in brain size, but this gross in- crease will, as witnessed with superior brains of today, be of but moderate proportions. “The skull will in all probability be thinner than it is today, partly because of the enlarging brain, but mainly to still further expectable diminuiion of the stresses of the muscles of mastica- tion. The skull, on the whole, may be expected to grow fuller laterally and also higher, due to developments in the direction of least resistance. The hair of the head probably will be further weakened. - Stature of Future Man. “The stature promises generally to be somewhat higher than today among the best nourished and least repressed groups. There is no indication as yet that 1t may reach what today would be termed tism. The face, it may be expected, will proceed slowly in refine- ment, handsomeness and character, partly through intensifying intelligent marital selection, partly through fur- ther reduction of the bony parts due to diminished mastication, and partly through further development of the frontal portion of the skull. “The eyes will be rather deeper set, the nose prominent and narrow, the mouth smaller, the chin more promi- nent, the jaws even more moderate and less regular, the teeth rather smaller, diminished in number, less regular than now in eruption and position and | even less resistant. The future of the beard is uncertain, but no such weak- ening as with the hair of the head is yet observable. “The body will tend to slenderness in youth, the breasts will grow smaller, the lower limbs longer, the upper iimbs | rather shorter, the hands and feet nar- rower, the fingers and toes more slen- der, with the fifth toe probably further diminishing. “As to the internal organs, the only more plainly foreshadowed possibilities are a further weakening and diminution of the appendix, and a shortening, with diminution of capacity. of the intestines. As food may safely be expected to be continually more refined and made more digestible, the necessity of a spa- clous large intestine will diminish in proportion. More Rapid Respiration. “Physiologically, the tendencies indi- cate a rather more rapid pulse and res- piration, with slightly increased temper- ature, a livelier rather than a more slug- gish metabolism. Substantial changes in these organic functions, however, are not to be expected for many millen- niums. “There is also the debit side to be considered. Punctional disorders and those of digestion, secretion, elimination and sleep cannot but multiply with the increasing stresses, exertions and ab- sorptions. Mental derangements will probably be more frequent. Destructive diseases, such as diabetes, and various skin diseases will probably increase until thoroughly understood and hindered. The teeth, mouth, nose, eyes and ears will ever call for an increased attention and there will be trouble with the feet. Due to prolonged life, heart troubles, apo- plexies, cancer and senile weakness of ell sorts will tend to be more common until mastered by medicine. All these, with many abnormal social factors, will retard but not man's progress, for he will rise equal to all his growing gee;tu as they develop and begin to urt. “If there is danger to human future it lies in the birth rate of the torch- bearers. Even now the birth rate in families of the most inteliectual is un- Large brains and large do not go well together. The causes of it have not been sufficiently studied.” Emerging From Infancy. Man has barely emerged from his in- fancy, Dr. Hrdlicka said. “If man has existed 350,000 years,” he continued, “which, according to our present knowl- edge, would be a moderate estimate, then his infancy and childhood may be sald to have taken over 300,000 years. The progress was very slow, yet for the main stream it was always & progress and never a n. The great wonder is. how man sustained himself during this long, dangerous, almost helpless period of his dawning abilities and consciousness. “Up to the end of the last main gl ciation man progressed evidently but very slowly in numbers. He did but slightly better than to sustain himself. The main phenomena of human differen- tiation or evolution throughout the past are, on the one mentality and, on orest, moun- tain, sea and the wild animals are more and more effectively understood and AR, " STRETREFARBI === FUTRE N EE SPEAES 10 G VOTE FOR DISTRICT Mrs. H. G. Doyle and H. H. Glassie Will Make Radio Addresses Tonight. A second appeal to the Seventy-first Congress to Americanize the voteless | residents of Washington will be made in two radio talks over WRC from 8:30 to 9 o'clock tonight by Mrs. Henry Grat- tan Doyle, president of the Voteless D. C. League of Women Voters, and Henry H. Glassie, special assistant to the Attorney General, under the aus- pices of the Citizens' Joint Committee for National Representation for the Dis- trict of Columbia. Mrs. Doyle, while addressing her re- marks to the entire membership of ‘ongress, will seek especially to interest woman members of the House of Repre- sentatives in the movement to remedy the plight of the disfranchised citizens of the District. She will explain why the word ‘“voteless” is prefixed to tne name of the local organization, which is affiliated with the National League of Women Voters. Proposed Amendment Favored. ‘The Voteless D. C. League of Women Voters is on reccrd in favor of the pro- posed constitutional amendment to give the District representation in the House and Senate and among the electors for President and Vice President. Mrs. Doyle will speak a word of encourage- ment to those who are fighting for Dis- trict representation, referring to the long, hard and eventually successful fight of the women of the United States to obtain the vote. Mr. Glassle will discuss the movement from the standpoint of a lawyer, and will explain the benefits to be derived by the people of Washington from hav- ing their own representatives, with the right to vote, in the House and Senate. The present series of radio talks on District representation has been arrang- ed by the Citizens’ Joint Committee with the National Broadcasting Co. which offered its facilities for the purpose. ‘The opening guns in the new campa were fired Thursday night by Paul E. Lesh and Jesse C. Suter, representing the citizens' committee, in two radio talks. More Programs Arranged. Two more programs have been ar- ranged in this series by the citizens’ committee. From 8 to 8:30 o'clock next Thursday night Dr. George C.

In addition it refused to allow the barge-rail rates to be 20 per cent Jower than existing rail rates in all cases, and established a 10 per cent dif- ferential as sufficient on routes where the use of the barge would require longer hauls. Further, the commission denied the corporation’s petition for the establish- ment of through routes which would utilize barge-rail-water rates between points on the Atlantic coast and the lower Mississippi Valley. “There is nothing to show that the establishment of barge-rail-water rates made differentially’ under the all-rail rates would be in the public interest,” the decision said. “We shall not at this time require the establishment of such rates.” By further terms of the decision the railroads are required to enter into ne- gotiations with the Inland Waterways Corporation for the purpose of fixing the division of the joint rates as be- tween the different agencies of trans. portation required to associate. Several conferences have been held be- tween railroad traffic officials and offi- cials of the Waterways' Corporation over the subject of division, without result.

Encarnacio Rojas, fled to American soil to escape capture by the foderals and were held for internment. The rebels said between 30 and 40 of their comrades had been taken prisoners by the loyal troops. | "The fight began at dawn, when the federals advanced upon 80 rebels en- trenched at Sasabe.

It was just | such an audience—keyed up and wait- | ing for the forensic combat to begin— which Fletcher Kemp, superintendent of Arlington County Schools welcomed to his community. Mr. Kemp com- mended the contest as an institution which “unites the people of Northern Virginia and portrays to the boys and girls that those who have passed the school age are deeply interested in what they are doing.” Mr. Kemp paid generous tribute to The Star as the sponsor of the con- | one over on it. Next year's contest will be unusually hard fought. The students of these schools yelled good- naturedly at one another as they left the auditorium. When the “verdict” had been read, Newbold Noyes, associate editor of The Star, rose to impose sentence in the form of a check for $100. Mr. Noyes told the contestants he was a news- paper man, more accustored to. writing than speaking, but that, nevertheless, he wanted the contestants to know and the audience to know that The Star is proud of its connection with the con- test and that this newspaper finds the test, of which he said he knows “of no other one thing that has sispired school iboys and girls more.” Mr. Kemp then presented Col. John R. Saunders, attorney general of Vir- ginia, who was chairman of the con- test. Col.

In this age of commercialism,” Col Saunders sald, “we do not stop to think enough what this great law—the Con- stitution—means to us.” With a brief but adequate recitation | of the rules under which the meet was to be staged, Col. Saunders then pre- | sented Miss Helen Lucille McCarty of the Herndon High School as the first speaker. Miss McCarty's Efforts. Miss McCarty took the stage bravely to speak for eight minutes and thirty- five seconds upon “The Citizen: His Privileges and Duties Under the Con- stitution.” She was one of the two girls on the program and she did her share to establish Virginia's girls as true competitors with the State’s boys in matters of oratory. Miss Brereton, winner of second hon- ors, was the second orator to be intro- duced by Col. Saunders. Having carved a niche in the hearts of her audience at Warrenton in the group phase of the contest, this speaker won more friends in the larger audience last night with her personality, charm and poised oratory. When in what probably was the last sentence of her speech on “Per- sonalities of the Constitutional Conven- tion,” however, the 10-minute time limit expired, and at the sound of the whistle she ceased speaking to return to her chair upon the stage still the ideal of poise. Thomas Edward Taylor of the Lin- coln- High School was the first of the bgy orafors to compete.

This lad who fought s0 hard to win his State’s champion- ship last year, presented marked im- provement last night in the oratory, with which he won the group meet at Alexandria. There was decidedly more ease in his speaking; his gesture m' smoother and he had eliminated the too-long pauses which frightened his audience in the earlier contest. he retained his inflection, his poise and his expression. His time last night was exactly 8 minutes. Jerry Schutz, speaking for the Wash- ington-Lee High School 6f Ballston, was the concluding speaker and he put up a good fight for victory.

Barrett, former president of the Farmers’ Union, | also was scheduled to see Mr. Hoover. During his talk with Mr. Tabor, Pres- ident Hoover is understood to have spoken just as candidly and with as much force as he did in his statement | to the press yesterday, in his endeavor | to get the farm organizations and the | farmers together for the purpose of | enacting a satisfactory relief measure | and Mr. Tabor are old friends and know | each other well enough to speak with the utmost candor. They did not confine their conver- sation to the export debenture phase of farm relief, but are understood to have discussed the farm problem generally. It was said on behalf of the President that the fact that he and Mr. Tabor may not be entirely in accord on all phase of proposed farm relief did not prevent a friendly conference. Upon leaving the White House, Mr. | Tabor asked to be excused from dis- cussing the conference when questioned by newpaper correspondents. He said that he expected a satisfactory farm relief bill to be enacted, and when asked if he thought it would contain the ex- port debenture plan advocated by his organization, he evaded a direct reply by remarking that he had never failed to_be an optimist. While Mr. Hoover avoided mention- ing the debenture plan as being one of the causes of the present division yesterday, it is known that he is anxious for the country not to get the erroneous impression that he favors that plan of farm relief. The understanding is that Mr, Hoover is withholding his plan until next week when he will sent to the agricultural committec of the Sen- ate a statement along with opinions from the Secretaries of the Treasury, Agriculture and Commerce regarding the export debenture plan.

CHICAGO, April 20 (#).—The sale of machine guns, found later in the posses- sion of Chicago gangsters, to men who represented themselves as policemen SASABE: HEROINES from Tucson. He expressed the belief | | during the present extra session. He o in the farm ranks, in his statement of | Ho and prohibition agents was recounted | today at the coroner’s inquest into the | St. Valentine’s day massacre. The seven men, lined against a wall |in a North Clark street garage were { mowed down with machine guns by | assassins who drove away in an auto- mobile. Believing bullets and guns would prove important factors in establishing the identity of the killers, Coroner Her- man N. Bundesen summoned to aid in the investigation Maj. Calvin Goddard, chine guns which police found | gangsters’ homes and gave testimony of | events surrounding the sales. { A man who represented himself as Willlam McCarthy of the Indiana State Highway Police bought a weapon and ordered it shipped to Hammond, Ind., to an address that proved later to be a vacant lot, said Peter von Frantsius, firearms dealer. McCarthy offered no other proof of being a policeman than showing a star, Van Prantsius testified. From Hammond and Indianapolis Highway Police headquarters came word that no one knew a William McCarthy. The gun McCarthy bought was found in the home of Steve Oswald, a beer runner. In the homes of Frank Gusenberg, brother of Peter Gusenberg, who was | one of the victims of the massacre, and Jack McGurn, police found two other machine guns. Von Frantsius, under examination, said he also had sold weapons to men { who said they were members of the Evanston police force. Maj. Goddard recommended a bureau of ballistics for Chicago. Two guns were found in the home of | Charles (Limpy) Cleaver, who is now serving a penitentiary sentence for the Evergreen Park mail train robbery. Von Frantzius admitted he had sold six machine guns to a man who iden- tified himself as F. Thompson of Kirk- land, 111, shortly before the massacre. The man, Von Prantzius said, was a stranger to him and showed no cards or credentials. NEW RULES DELAYED FOR COOLING DEVICES Objection was voiced to most of the proposals in a draft of new regulations covering installation, repair and main- tenance of refrigerating machinery, considered at an open hearing before the Board of Commissioners today. Manufacturers of multiple unit refrig- erating devices objected to the fees re- quired for permits to install each of the units attached to the central refrigerat- ing plant. Manufacturers of the single units objected to much of the inspec- tion required and also to the fees at- tached to the installation permits. There is no code now covering in- stallation of refrigerating machinery, but several of the speakers, representing refrigerating companies, said they were anxious for some kind of a code to be enacted. Several of the speakers asked for two weeks more to file briefs on the subject, and this was granted them. Files Bankruptcy Petition. Olivia J.
