Mines of Poland and Czechoslovakia were looked to te velieve the situation, but disruption ot rallway traffic added even those countries to those hardest hit.

Coroner Bill said hefore going to the house that inquiries as to the note should be made to State's At- torney Howard C. Bradford. The latter said: “Ask Hickey.” Hickey said, “Ask Bill.” There the matter rested until the coroner said he would not give out .Mrs. Jackson's note “at present”, and he intimated that that méunt not today, and pos- sibly that it would not be given out until after trial of Trenor Rice on thé murder charge. Rice was in- dicted, last Monday, but his:trial is not amticipated until the next term of the Windham county superior court in April. b Juanita In Collapse Miss Juantta Jackson, who alone 1s left of Detective Jackson's immedi- ate family, is in a state of collapse at her home. It was thought pos- sible that Coroner Bill went there to question her because of her physical inability to come to the inquest which probably would have been at the rooms of the undertaker to which Mrs. Jackson’s body was taken last night. Rice's Wife Silent Mrs. Rice, wha began divorce action against Trenor some time ago and who has sald she was willing to withhold it and come to her hus- band's aid had nothing to say of Mrs. Jackson's death when seen to- day. She,said that she was at Brooklyn jail yesterday and saw her husband. He said to her, she said: “Don’t worry; everything will come out right.” Mrs. Rice said her: husband did not appear downcast and while little was said of Mr. Jackson's death, she found him confident that the trial would not go against him. Mrs. Rice lives in Canterbury several | miles from here. Frederick Rice, of New Rochelle, N. Y., who upon arrival here after Trenar was arrested, told of a mil- lion dollar trust fund income to be used in defense of his brother, has not returned nor had he sent word of intent to return here. Mrs. Florence Wakeling, a sister, also had not been heard from by Mrs. Rice but she thought, from the situation which had developed that relatives of her husband would take added in- terest in the case. Trenor Rice was cxpected to hear | of Mra. Jackson's death during the day. He was not informed over night as it was late beforc word of the suicide reached the jail. After the house visit State's At- torney Bradford, Detective Hickey and Officer Arthur Hurley of the city police went to lunch. When | asked if ‘the contents of the letter would be given out, Hickey said: “Ask the county official Brad- ford said, when questioned: “I have nothing to say.” What action Coroner Bill was to take was not known.

As a naturalist for the United States fisherics steamer Alg batross in. 1906 he made speclal marine studies. Returning home, he found that so little about thdse forms that he made & new system of classification for them, which now is accepted as the standard. All his studics led up to his new theory of evolution, which was pre- sented in an extended article in tional museum, the Quarterty Review of Blology re- recently. This had been preceded by 11 articles in other cach including part of the new idea. One was a paper before tional Academy of Sciences in 1922. Clark describes his theory as: more of a blending and correlation of previous theories than a new one, although insofar as it concerns the lower types of animals it i8 new. This new part, However, might. he suggests. be considered as an exaggerated application of the mutation theory of the great Dutch biologist, Hugo De Vries. The Clark theory ditfers from the Darwinian and Lamarkian theories of gradual selective evolution in its climination of the time element as far as it concerns types of animals, though admitting a time clement in restricted groups, such as the mammals, was known [ Jjournals, | the Na-| the humbler lpus, witty and severe.® One of the Valentines of the ‘World “War -period has a picture of John T. -McCutcheen, * cartoonist, ture shows a mother who apparently has consored her daughte ) to a soldier gbroad. beneath is print- ed: “Mr. Soldier Man: “1 cannot send what my, daughter wrote. It might set fire to the darned old boat.” He says it is obvious that the gap between cats and dogs is ‘quite |broad, and it remaina broad throughout the fossil record. Cats never become dogs, although beth belong to the group knewn as cars | nivorous mammals. . e He maintains that thesa « gaps are real and ncver -were bridged by missing links, and furthermore that there is indisputable evidence that nature 4n the present'day is | endeavoring to produce new. types of animal lite. This is evident, he says, in the production of varianty, sports, dwarfs, giant, freaks and other abnormalities whiclr ocour in every generation. Regarding man, hc says that while the bodily structure is most nearly like that of the man-like apes, yet all of the early remains of pre-historic man so far discove cred are distinctly those of man, or are the misinterpreted frag- ments of apes. No missing link has ever been found, and hé:does not believe any such thing ever existed. Former Meriden Nun .

Sion house advices and the grewi - uneasiness ever the possibility of an early Increae in federal reserve re- discount rates. Early losss of 3 to nearly 12 peints in the active jssues were cut down, and in a few oases made up, by the mid-day rally, but the higher prices failed to hold and the market turned seft again in the early afterneea. The rise in bankers' acceptance rates yesterday was interpreted in some quarters as foreshadowing a rise in the rediscount rate of the New York Federal Reerve bank, di- rectors of. which meet after the close of the market. Some bankers doubt that such action will be taken at this time because of the belief that it weuld nullify the recent ac- tion of the Bank of England in raising its rate in erder to check the flow of gold from Lenden to New York. Call money renewed at 6% per cent but was available in the “outside market” at 6. Time money rates, however, . continued firm around the highest levels in years. News Has No Effect Except for the report that Jan- uary rubber consumption set a new monthly record, there was little in the day's business news to influence the price movement. Many of the large commission houses took the attitude that the prestige the fed- eral reserve bank was at e in its latest effort to force a reduction in brokers' berrowings, and that further restrictive measures would be taken if the board’s recent warn- ing passed unheeded. Under the clrcumatances, these houses urged a reduction in specu- lative commitments, and increased their margin requiréments and their minimum commissions on odd Yot in an apparent effort to bring such ac- tion ‘about. Case Threshing, which dropped 22 points last week, sold 25 points abore its previous quotation. Marine preferred and Island Creek Coal moved into new high -greynd on talk of special developments.
