MALACOLOGICAL UNION TO CONCLUDE SESSION Dr. Paul Bartsch Named President of Scientific Group at Con- vention Here. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Dr. Cloyd H. Marvin, president of George Washington University, chalantly braving ferocious baracudas, has succeeded in obtaining the first natural color moving pictures of life un- der-the sea. This was revealed today when it was announced that Dr. Marvin, one of whose hobbies is photography, would make the first public showing ¢f his films at the annual dinner of the Amer- ican Malacological Union at Plum Point tomorrow evening. Dr. Marvin, accompanied Dr. Paul Bartsch, National Museum, curator, on an expedition to the West Indies last Summer. In previous years Dr. Bartsch had succeeded in obtaining undersea moving pictures, but only in black and white. The George Washington presi- dent continued this work with a newly developed method which made possible reproduction of much of the gorgeous coloring of the undersea jungle. Went 30 Feet Deep. In a diving suit Dr. Marvin re- {mained for long periods on the ocean | the bottom from 6 to 30 feet below surface, taking long exposures. erto he has shown the films only to a few friends. Perhaps the most remarkable epi- sode photographed in color by Dr Marvin is that of a great baracuda grabbing_a smaller fish, swallowing it as Dr. Bartsch describes it, “liter- smacking his lips.’ Although he was aware of the unwholesome repu- tation of the baracuda, Dr. Marvin stood quietly grinding his camera with- ing less than six feet of the fierce ocean carnivore which did not pay any attention to him. = Other unusual pictures obtained in- cluced one of a skate flying through the water and of the gorgeously col- ored vellow tails, butterfly fish and squirrel fishes. Will Close Convention. The American Malacological Union. composed of experts on mollusks from all over the United States, will con- clude its second annual convention with the trip to Plum Point tomorrow. At the Chesapeake Bay resort they will make extensive collections of the fossil mollusks of the so-called Calvert forma- tion. Here, Dr. Bartsch explained, is the classical ground of American fossil collections, the place where the first fossils were found in the new world. At the time the fossils were deposited the climate of the Chesapeake Bay re- gion approximated that now found in Southern Florida. Among the fossils which will be sought most earnestly | ington. He was altogether 45 years in the | bill before starting the -hearings. tomorrow are those of tropical pearl oysters which once abounded in the neighborhood. The scientific sessions of the union were held vesterday and today at the National Museum. At the business meeting last night Dr. Bartsch was elected president, succeeding H. A. Pils. bury. Other officers elected were: Vice president, Dr. Junius Henderson, Uni- versity of Colorado; corresponding sec- retary, Norman W. Lermond, Thomas- ton, Me.; financial secretary, Mrs. Imo-. gene C.

Oldroyd, Leland Stanford University. Snails Being Exterminated. Among the sclentific papers presented today was one by M. K. Brady of Flor- ida on the plight of the liguus snails in Florida. These, it was explained, are the most showy of American snails, which are being exterminated at the commercial value of their shells in the manufacture of art objects. The Malacological Union is working for the immediate establishment of the pro- posed Everglades National Park to in- sure the preservation of these pic- turesque animals.

Buchanan, it was said, had been employed as a sales- man. Buchanan testified that Caldwell whipped out a small automatic and shot him after he had made certain charges. Despite the fact that three of the shots took effect in Buchanan's body. he said he grappled with Cald- well for possession of the gun, and then chased him down a flight of stairs. A policeman separated them near the entrance to the building. The wounded man was taken to Casualty Hospital. The complainant said he had in the past struck Caldwell with his fist sev- eral times, but denied he was respon- sible for the fracas which resulted in the shooting. Judge Gus A.
