MARTIN JOHNSON CONDENINS FAKED JUNGLE PICTURES Gorillas Don’t Kidnap Wom- en, African Explorer Tells Mammalogists. DEPICTION OF CRUELTY ASSAILED ESPECIALLY i Importing of Black Bears to Re- place Those Slaughtered Re- ported to Scientists. BY THOMAS E. HENRY. Gorillas don't kidnap women Martin Johnson, African explorer, conducted an investigation through the gorilla country to find if there was a single case, either on record or rumor- ed among the natives, he told the Amer- ican Society of Mammalogists here yes- terday. The African natives, who have lived all their lives in close contact with the | big apes, were amazed when he ques- | tioned them about it and told them |that such 2 dent ac ¢ had been ishown in an American moving picture as a real event “Why Want Woman?" One old chief said “Gorilla kidnap woman—why? Go- rilla no make garden. Gorilla no make house. Why gorilla want woman?"” Gardening and house building are the chief activities of the native women in this section, Johnsen asked the mammalogists to go on record against fake jungle ple- ture. They usually, he said, are made in_California. Some of the worst, Johnson said, have been sponsored by the public schools as educational films. He was especially indignant, he said, over pictures of ani= mals of different species fighting for no reason at all and tearing each other to pleces. Real animals, he said, fight only when they have a very good rea- son for fighting. ‘The United States now is importing black bears, Dr. T. S. Palmer of the Biological Survey told the mammalo- gists. These creatures have been slaughtered so ruthlessly through their ,natural habitat, the Eastern United States, that it is no longer possible for hunters to supply the demand for bear cubs for pets and exhibits, with the result that more than 100 are brought from Canada each year. Seek to Restore Bears. Pennsyivania is trying to restore her black bears, said Leo A. Luttringer of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, and by rigidly protecting them now has more than all the other States. It costs the State about $3,000 a year, he said, to settle damage claims for stock killed and bee hives raided by the animals. A strange animal that lived in Pata- gonia_about 50,000,000 years ago was described by Dr. George G. Simpson of the American Museum of Natural His- tory. This fauna, he said, scemed to have developed in lines parailel to the subarctic fauna, which has resulted in misleading ideas of relationship. Thus the far south developed a crea- ture approaching the horse, although with an entirely different ancestry. An- other form developed parallel to the rhinceeras. The only flesh-eating animals, he said, were marsupials, which carried their young in pouches. The family now is almost entirely corfined to Australia.
