CHICAGO, January 18.—Louis Lakin, | 18, who captained a high school basket | ball team, was shot to death last night | by Alexander Roney, 50, a special po- | liceman, at a community house. The shooting grew out of an attempt | by Lakin and a dozen companions to join | a dance in the community hall. Some of them had scaled a fire escape and were ordered down by Roney. Julius Eckeles, a junior college student, told | lice Roney fired point-blank. Roney, owever, said the weapon was accident- ally discharged during s scuffie with the youths. Two other youths were reported near death from pistol wounds inflicted by | an “unloaded” weapon, thereby increas- | ing the number of casualties from such lay in Chicago recently.

By the Associated Press. Oxford and one of the most famous British theologians, died in London yes- terday. He was 79 years old. As Bishop of Oxford and an advo- cate of the League of Nations, Bishop Gore visited the United States in 1918. He resigned the bishopric of “Oxfrod in 1919. Widely known for his theological writings, he gave British fundamen- talists a jar in a book, “Can We Then Believe?” in 1926, Remarking that the Bible was not intended to teach science, but accepted the science of its time, he said its spiritual teachings seemed to { IL DUCE’S VIEWS ASKED | Hungarian Premer Pays Vistt to | Rome for Confersnce, | _ROME, January 18 (#).—Premier | Stephen Bethlen of Hungary, who has been here for several days, talked with Premier Mussolinl and said he came to learn Italian opinions om “several world problems.” He said just before he left for Hun- gary that the Hungarian political situae | tion was “solid” and there was no foun= LONDON, January 18—The Right| cry out for the theory of creation by | dation for reports that governmental Rev.

They | were described as having “fine high foreheads” and as “entirely naked, with tnted bodies.” The foreheads would | ve been the result of cranial defor- | mation widely practiced in the West Indies. Although the Arawaks pos- | sessed looms, nakedness was the ordi- nary condition and painting of the | bodies was common. Linking Up Patterns. | Krieger is engaged in linking up,! wherever possible, the West Indian cul- ture pattern with those of North and| South America. One of his most ex- | tensive studles, that of primitive West Indian pottery designs, has just been completed. One of his notable findings, just announced by the Smithsonian, is ©of primitive_engineering comparable to that of the Mississippi Mound Builders, in the mountainous interior of Santo Domingo. Superficial examination of these mounds, Kreiger says, might lead to the conclusion that here was an out- of the'fhound builders. But while f North - American Indians reared their structures as memorials to the dead the West Indian Arawaks ap- parently were concerned only with the pleasures of the ilving. The mounds contain no human burials and the only wrtifacts found are parts of tools dis- carded by workmen ‘The mounds are found in the form of | rallel embankments, from 3 to 10 feet | h and about 20 feet wide at the base. ‘They are remarkably uniform, averag- ng slightly Jess than 300 feet in length With thelr ‘use as cemeteries excluded, Krieger s the most nation | at they e poundaries of stadiums and ampithe- aters for native ceremonies and athletic contests.
