The “Kingfish” is having elec- tion troubles again. The city elections of New Or-; ans are to be held in January! after congress convenes. One of Huey’s arch enemies in Louisiana politics, Francis Williams, is op- posing his candidate for mayor. The fiery Williams has lashed} out at Long with charges of loyalty because of the “Kingfish’s utspoken opposition to certain phases of the Roosevelt program. It will be the first big test for Long and his political machine at the polls since the senate began its investigation of the situation in Louisiana, . No Santa Claus?

The scientist is Dr. J. S. B. Leakey, 30-year-old fellow of St. John’s college, Cambridge univer- sity, who has just completed a study of this and other discov- eries of man’s+ early existence made by an expedition of which he was the leader. “For the first time the real an- cestors of man have been found,” ‘he says. This jaw, fragment had Jain for a million years, according, to geo- logical evidence, in the spot where it. was picked up in March, 1932, at Kanam near the shores of Vic- toria Nyanza. Although that is no. older than the Piltdown skull fragment found in England and the Peking woman skull, the African, Dr. Leakey finds, was a true man, homo sa- piens, while the others were only “cousins.”” Thigh Bone From Erect Walker In another site were found skulls of modern type, and a por- in such manner that it must have come from a creature which walk- ed erect on two legs. “The jaw,” he explains, “repre- sents a new species, to which I have given the name homo Kana- mensis, definitely ancestral of the species to which modern man be- longs today. This is true because there are certain characters of the jaw which separate it from one of modern man.” With the fragment were found examples of a crude pebble cul- ture. There were tools fashion- fed out of water-worn Yrotks: “Alsé]~ MENTS FOR PERSONAL PRE-|" tools made from the jaw bone of an extinct pig, from remains of mastodons, the first ever found in Africa, from teeth of an extinct animal of the elephant type, and from hippopotami. The skull fragments were found at Kanjera, three miles from Ka- nam. “These. skulls,” Dr. Leakey men __indistin- guishable from ourselves except that they belonged to primitive types and are earlier than any- thing els¢ of the sort previously found.” ‘COURT CONDUCTS -SHORT SESSION RECESS ORDERED BY JUDGE UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK TO.

ELECTION: AT 2:30 O'CLOCK THE CHECK SHOWED 1,960 BALLOTS HAD BEEN CAST; PREDICT ABOUT 900 MORE “To be or not to be” is the| question uppermost in the minds in Key ; West. today. This question will be decided for some tonight at an/ early hour, it is predictec. For others it wil] not be until the last few votes are left that they will be able to get an informative idea as to the possibility of win- ning or losing, it is said. This idea is based on a careful survey of the whole political sit- uation and the belief that in some cases the count will be so exceed- ingly close as to make it almost impossible to-make any reasonable forecast of the results. From the number of votes cast up to 2:30 o'clock it is reasonable to suppose that between 2,800 and | 2,900 of the total qualified list of 8,583 of will be cast, as at that hour the check of the six polling | places showed a total of 1,960 bal-| lots in the boxes. H At several of the places the booths were full and a number waiting and it is the opinion of those who..are keeping a close watch on the qualified lists and the names of those who have vot- ed, that at least 900 more voters! will have seleéted thir candidates ; when the polls close at 5:40 this afternoon.

Malone was struck on the back of the neck by Ver- non Adams, commonly known a “Pa Winkie.” The mayor was talking to a friend when the attack was made and neither he nor the person whom he was talking to had any idea of Adams’ intentions when he approached from the rear.

He was tak- en to the city hall and is being lheld under bond of $100.
