HRDLICKA'S YUKON CANOE TRIP LEADS TO ANCIENT GRAVEYARD; Washington Scientist’s Discoveries Prove Close Relationship of Indians and Eskimos. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. SHIP PASSENGER'S ASSAILANT SOUGHT ICapital Police, on Lookout for Man Who Shot Virginian. ‘Washington police are searching for an unidentified man who is believed to have shot Sol C. Wertlow, 22 years old, of Newport News, Va., in the left shoul- der and chest early yesterday morning in a stateroom on the steamer North- land of the Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Co. According to informa- tion given the police, Wertlow was awakened by an intruder who was going through the pockets of his cloth- ing. Wertlow grappled with him and during the struggle the stranger fired two shots. ‘The shooting occurred in Maryland waters about 14 miles south of Alex- andria, and it is expected that the Maryland authorities will be asked to aid in the investigation. When the steamer arrived at the wharf in this city an ambulance con- veyed the wounded man to Emergency Hospital, where it was said that the wounds had been inflicted by a small caliber weapon and would probably not be serious. Capt. George H. Nowell of the North- land first learned of the shooting when he was awakened by a colored porter who had heard shots and located the stateroom from which the sound came. \When the steamer reached Alexandria a message telling of the shooting was telephoned to the Washington police and Detectives James C. Collins and John W. Wise were on hand when the boat docked at the foot of Seventh street. An elderly man was the only pas- senger who disembarked when the | steamer stopped at Alexandria, the local police were informed. Wertlow was able to give only a partial description | of his assailant and doubts whether he will be able to identify him. * Radio Operator Makes Hit. HOUSTON, Tex.

Dr. Hrdlicka, accompanied by Dr. George Maly of the Charles University of Prague, Czechoslovakia, made an adventurous journey in an open canoe, prac- tically from the source of the river in Yukon territory, to its two northern mouths, in almost continuous daylight, but through fog and frequent storms. ‘The two scientists made measurements of approximately 200 full-blooded natives and gathered 60 boxes of specimens, which now are being unpacked. ‘The expedition was undertaken for the Smithsonian Institution and Bureau of American Ethnomology, the National Academy of Sciences and the Phillips Academy of Andover, Mass. ‘The area covered is belleved to have been the original gateway of the new world, through which the ancestors of the Indlan and Eskimo entered and spread over the American continents. Two Races Linked. Dr. Hrdlicka found: that there is no clear line of demarkation, either physi- cal or cultural, between the Indian and the Eskimo along the Yukon. Both shade into each other. The true Yukon Eskimo, he says, seems more like an Indian evolving into an Eskimo than a completed product of the Far North environment. Among this people, how- ever, are fully evolved Eskimos who lately have immigrated to the Yukon country. Ancient burials were difficult to dis- cover and Dr. Hrdlicka abstained strictly from interfering with recent burials, so as not to antagonize the people, who received him with much hospitality. Only once did he find himself in dif- ficulties. An Indian led the scientists to a rotten, above-ground grave on the slope of a hill, where lay the skeleton of an old man, while a group of villagers looked on with a suspicion-arousing amusement. ‘The anthropologists gathered up the bones, but just as they finished, an old woman appeared below them, angrily talking to herself. The skeleton was .that of her husband, dead about 30 years. “Why didn’t they go on the other side of the hill where there were real old skeletons,” she demanded, and leave her “old man” alone. So they replaced the bones exactly as they found them and followed her directions to one of the best of the old graveyards. which otherwise would have escaped their at- 0000000000000 000000000000000000000 May we serve you? 728 14th St. Juperior cAnthracite If you are occupying a new house, let us send our expert to examine your furnace and advise the proper size of SUPERIOR Anthracite to use.

The store has been crowded with many eager tention, ~After that the old woman became friendly. ‘The possibility of finding really ancient remains, dating from the very early migration, is remote, because of the changing course of the Yukon along which the people traveled, says Dr. Hrdlicka. Only a fortunate ac- cident would reveal graveyards thou- sands, or even hundreds of years old, in the foothills or wooded flats which cover the old bed of the river. Along the lower river, the scientists found a much higher culture than that further up. was marked by a profusion of stone implements and artifacts of ivory, bone and antlers, and was essentially Eskimo. In the middle area the varlety of implements decreases, but two new types make their appearance, showing the shading off into the Indian culture. These are the bi-lateral stone ax and the tomahawk. Pottery was the same poor quality along the . whole river, but with some dif- ference in form and decoration. Dr. Hrdlicka was able to get on friendly relations with the natives by glving medical treatment, b{ explaining frankly his purpose in digging into the old graves and by paying for all the specimens brought in. Making casts of the heads of the living, essential for comparative study, was more difficult, and many required pay for submitting to the process of “making stone faces.” Others were en- thused at the prospect of “having their faces in Washington.” ‘The greatest difficulty of all Dr. Hrdlicka said was to get normal, full- blooded natives. These are getting scarce along the river, specially in the middle regions, and in a few more years will have disappeared altogether, Asiatic Characteristics. ‘The earliest material recovered, Dr. Hrdlicka said, extends only two or three centuries before the coming of the Rus- sians, and the oldest known specimens belong to the upper neolithic period, is just on the edge of historic ‘The skeletal material recovered from the Indian areas indicated that the early people were true Indians, but with some strongly marked Asiatic af- finitles. ‘They belong, for the most part to one iype, although there may have been small groups which departed considerably from this, All the cultural material found rep- resented a fairly high level, and Dr. Hrdlicka believes that it must have been transported bodily from somewhere else, where it has been in process of evolu- tion for thousands of years, presum- ably across the Bering Sea from north- ern Asia, where the Mongoloid natives still bear many cultural and physical similarities to the American aboriginals. As a result of the work this Suj mer, Dr. Hrdlicka said. it will be pos- | sible for the first time to show definitely the anthropological nature of the Yukon | population. 70-YEAR-OLD MAN DROPS DEAD IN DENTIST’S CHAIR Willlam Hardy, 70 years old, 622 K street northeast, died suddenly yester- day morning while in a chair in the dental establishment of Dr. John K. Freiot, 407 Seventh street. Hardy, fol- lowing the advice of physicians, had gone to the dentist's office to have seven teeth extracted. Shortly after being seated in the chair and before any of his teeth had been extracted he died. Examination of the body at the Morgue disclosew that Hardy had suffered from a severe trouble with his heart and was in a condition that he was likely to have died at any time. A certificate of death from natural causes was given. FALL SUITS IN NEW SHADES THAT ARE A SHADE SMARTER New Grays! . . . New Browns! . . . Blended Blues!
