NOTHER SAVAGE TRIBE 15 FOUND Members Are Slain After They Reach Certain Period in Lile Boston, Mass,, Mar. 2.—High in the fastnesses of the Andes moun- tains of Peru there lives a race which sets an age limit and Kkills off all of its people who reach the fateful mark. This is the statement of Dr. Joseph Barcroft, British scientist and author, who headed an expedition to Pern to study the effect of high altitudes on the oxygen content of the blood. The party spent practically all its time at Cerro de Pasco, a mining town of 10,000 inhabitants 14,200 feet above the sea level Official Says When, “In each village,” said Dr. Barcroft, who is delivering a series of lectures at Lowell Institute, “an official is ap- pointed to terminate the careers of persons who live too long. “Different communities, however, seem to have different ideas as to what limit should be placed on hu- man existence. In some places the only duty of the executioner appears to be to secure the presence of a man at his own funeral in the ‘title role.’ It a person become so ill that his funeral become a certainty in the near future, a date is fixed for the same and if the leading figure shows a dis- position to be unpunctual, the vil- lage executioner takes the matter in hand. Purely Economic Plan. “Not far from a mine that yields a great part of the world’s vanadium, there is, so we are told, a settlement of ‘Cholos’ (the name by which the natives are designated) who, treat this matter on purely economic and un- sentimental grounds. When one of the inhabitants becomes too old he is eaten by the community and cheer- fully acquiesces in the procedure.” Dr. Barcroft is a fellow and lec- turer at King's college, Cambridge university, fellow of the Royal So- clety and the author of a widely used text on “The Respiratory Function of the Blood.” Are of Indian Descent. The Andes natives studied by the party of investigators are of Indian descent, possibly from the Quichua Indians, according to one of the sci- entists. They live in adobe hovels and are said never to remove their clothing. The household furnishings are so meagre that the housewife puts them into a sack and carries them with her every time she goes shop- ping or visiting. The natives are very shy and ap- pear to have no diversions aside from chewing coca leaves, from which modern scientists extract cocaine. The extremely high altitudes at which they live seem not to affect the AUTO IN 1 am prepared to write all kinds biles.

The petition asked that records of the.insanity hearing in the Criminal Court he submitted for review. Meantime Sheriff Peters made ar- rangements for the hanging on Friday of ¢he “menfally dead” Church. He will be carried to the gibbet in the county jail bound to a chair and hanged in that posture, Jail Physician McNamara said to- day that Church would “live to be hanged.” Torcible feeding by the doe- tor continued. A messenger from k. 0. Church, father of the condemned man, appeared at the jail, asking per- mission to talk to Church. When the messenger arrived Church was lying on his back on the cell cot, his eyes closed. He made no movement, Only two other men have bheen hanged bound to chairs in Chicago. THREATENED 10 SHOOT Police Receive Call to Go to Booth Street and Catch Man Who' Was Trying to Enter House With Gun. . The police department received an excited complaint over the telephone last evening about 7 o'clock from Paul Kavolski of Booth street, say- ing that a man was running around the neighborhood threatening to shoot people with a revolver. Patrolman William P. McCue and Doorman Gustave W. Hellberg were hurried to the scene in the police pa- trol, and they made a thorough in- vestigation of the neighborhood. They failed, however, to find anyone around, Kavolski said that someone had knocked at his door demanding ad- mittance and threatened to shoot when this was denied him. Kavolski, fearing that the man would carry out his threat, called the police, but the stranger had disappeared before the police arrived. Kavolski could give no description of him. 0il in America was first known for its medicinal value. Strictly fresh eggs, 2%’ doz. $1.00. Russell Bros.—advt.

Shanton, for many years chief of police of Porto Rico, has just served a sentence of 48 hours in jail for contempt of court He re. fused to appeal to President Harding to set aside the sentence which had been imposed by Federal Judge Od- lin.

Does Not Appeal. Although Judge Odlin gave Shan- ton until March 18 to enable him to appeal to the president, the former chief decided to take his medicine instead of asking for presidential favor. The San Juan Times says ceived 600 callers while in jail and refers to his term there as "a so- clal suce " Among his visitors in prison was Governor Reily who, with other citizens and officials had vainly petitioned Judge Odlin to remit the sentence.

He was captain of Roosevelt's Rough Riders in 1898 and afterward served with General Wood in Cuba. President Roosevelt sent him to the Canal Zone as chief of police to clean up the zone in the early construction days and 13 years ago, he was sent to Porto Rico to take command of the 700 policemen composing the insular police force.
