v THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1929 MUMMY IS FOUND ' i -~ INUTAH CANYON Cotton and Boomerang Also Give Clue to Oldest Known U. S. Inhabitants. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, September 20.—Charles | A. Bernheimer, head of the expedition of the American Museum, announced yesterday discovery of a mummy, & boll ©of cotton and a boomerang in caves in the southeast corner of Utah. Mr. Bernheimer's discoveries were an- nounced on his return from his seventh expedition to the homes of the Basket- makers, the oldest known inhabitants of United States territory. “The boomerang, as far as I know, is the first such weapon to be discovered in this country,” Mr. Bernheimer said. “The boll of cotton is an astounding phenomenon, since no one has yet groved that cotton was used by the asketmakers in this region. “It would indicate that possibly the climate of this region may have been different thousands of years ago. At present, with its high altitude, the ter- ritory is far too cold for growing such a crop.” “In view of the claim heretofore made by experts that the aborigines did not use cotton, we consider as significant ?1‘”;, find of a cotton boll with seed and nt. “In a Moki Canyon cave we found a mummy of a very early Basketmaker type, covered with thick cedar bark blanket tied with yucca fibre and hu- man hair.” Mr. Bernheimer said he concluded the ‘Basketmakers were a cannibalistic peo- le from a charred mass of human es he found in Arch Canyon. REGULATION URGED FOR OIL INDUSTRY Geological Survey Chief Warns Leaders That Step Is Neces- sary as Safegunard. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. September 20.—Addressing the National Petroleum “Rssociation here vesterday, George O. Smith, director of the United States Geological Survey, declared it was “a | question whether you will regulate your own industry, or whether the people will take measures to regulate it for you. “In the latter case,” he said, “the people may take measures, producing a freeze-up that would be worse than the present overproduction. It is not the Government’s business to run your in- dustry, but I don’t see how it could be run worse than it has been in some Pplaces.” . EX-ARMY OFFICER FINED FOR INSULTING AUTHOR German to Pay $150 for Literary Attack on Writer of “The Case of Sergeant Grischa.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, September 20.—Germany has been made safe for writers of real- istic World War novels by a court case, in which Lieut. Col. Walter von Bogen, retired army officer and editor of the Journal of German Nobility, Wednesday was fined $150 for libelously insulting Arnold Zweig, author of “The Case of Sergeant Grischa.” ‘The suit instituted by Zweig revealed the bitter hostility among ex-officers of the old German army toward war books containing what they call dangerous and pacifist tendencies.. Von Bogen's publication, reviewing Zweig's book, called the author a_“dirty Asiatic fel- low.” Testifying in his own behalf, the editor declared it was the duty of every good German to oppose pacifism, which ‘would be the downfall of Germany. He said he believed one of the generals mentioned in the book was meant to be Gen. Ludendorff and that “many noble ladies were insulted.” The judge denied the danger of pacifism in Germany and said, “No writer may be subjected to such per sonal attacks.” FUEL EXPERiMENT FATAL.
