JEROME. us ‘When court opened this morning, the District-Attorney tried to make ption in the Bucklin case. Tho Recorder stopped him, saying that he ‘wae not ready for the case just yet, A few minutes later he handed the ‘Diatrict-Attorney this typewritten statement: _ fo the Grand Jury: ‘Where a witness before the Grand Jury refuses to answer questions a formal presentment, stating the facts of the case, should be made, in order that a record of the proceedings may be before the Court. ‘ It now rests entirely with the Grand Jury whether or not they will now make a complaint against Bucklin, 4 While the District-Attorney was reading it, the Grand Jury walked into “Veourt. The foreman had a presentment in his hand. He started to hand fi jibe when Mr. Jerome took it from him, He read it aloud, ‘The Grand Jury wanted to know what they could do in the matter, ORD READ/IN COURT. The statement was a transcript of the minutes of the Grand Jury show- sae the questions and answers in tho examination of Bucklin by Assistant Hig ‘ict-Attorney Osborne, There wasn't a question by a member of the _ Gran@ Jury. The record reads: By Bucklin (on being sworn): - giving any testimony. By Mr. Csvorne. I will ask you just a question or two and you can then decline to answer and have it on the record. What is your full name? A. David Pucklin. Q, Where do you reside? A. No. 6 Mast Forty-fourth street. Q. How long have you lived at No. 6 Hast Forty-fourth street? A. I refuse to answer any further questions. Q. Have you any grounds on which you decline to answer? A. Yes, sir, by advice of counsel, and also I am a defendant in a ted to this case. Q. Well, 1 will advise you that you are not now a defendant in any case that will come before this Grand Jury. A. Well, I refuse . te answer any question relating to Mr. Canfield or to No. 6 Bast _ ) Forty-fourth street. Q. Have you any other ground on which you refuse to answer? A. Yos, that I refuse to incriminate myself. After transcript had been read the Grand Jury asked Recorder Goff what should be done about it. “That is a very serious question,” said the Recorder. By advice of counsel I'm not “I cannot answer ‘it at present. I will look into the law and let you know later.” 7 ‘COURT AND PROSECUTOR QUIBBLE. , iu ‘With that the body retired. Mr. Jerome wanted to know what disposi- - tion was to be made of Bucklin, “Have I any power over him?” asked the Recorder, innocently. “I presumed that you had from the way you acted yesterday,” was the and with that the District-Attorney left the room, On the motion of Forbes J. Hennessy, Bucklin’s counsel, Bucklin was then permitted to leave the court free, The Code of Criminal Frocedure requires that the examination of wit- before the Grand Jury shall be conducted by the foreman of tnat , although an individual member can ask questions, The examination Ymay be conducted by the Disirict-Attorney provided the Grand Jurors re- ‘fitest bim to direct it. .

QUIGG RAGES AT LESSLER’S CHARGE OF BRIBERY. If there is @ madder man in New York than Mr. Quigg, The Evening World j failed to get trace of him to-day. The former Congressman was found at his home, No. 435 West End avenue, eating his breakfast food as viciously as though it were a tough steak, He wouldn't trust himeele to talk offhand about Mr. Leas- ler's charges. He prepared this state- ment for publication: Leasler Shocks Him. "I cannot believe that Mr. Lessler made such a statement as is imputed to him in @ morning paper. If he did he is not a sane man. I have telegraphed Chairman Foss, of the Naval Com- mittee, asking whether Mr, Lessler has made such @ statement and for an of- ficial dental, or if he did say anything which in any way connects me with a corrupt proposition, in that asked for a public inquiry, whatever for such a suggestion. Inas- much ay the paper printed the state- ment without taking the trouble to call me up on the telephone, much leas see me at my house. I have brought the matter to the attention:of my attor- neys.” ' After cooling off a little Mr, Qu! went on to say offhand that if he found from the answer of Ohairman Foss that Mr. Lessler did make euch a statement he would have something further to say from hie office, No, 100 Broadway. Meanwhile, he |, he did not care to dignity the matter with a discussion, Mr, McCullagh left New York for Albany to-day to see Governor Odell. It was said that he had been summoned by the Governor to explain the charges which have been made against .him jn this connection, He holds his Job by appointment from Odell. Before he left, however, he took occasion to deny that he ever offered a bribe to Mr, Lesser, He admitted that he went down to Washington last spring to see him and ask him to support the bill.

We're All Cousins, Since Our An- cestors, the Prehistorio Apes, Were All of One Family and Came from the North Pole. FOR DR. WORTMAN SAYS SO. Surprising Deductions Drawn from Skull of xtinct Simian Exca- vated by the Scientist in the Wilds of Wyoming. World.) cording to jeotigator in the Dehartment of Paleontology in the Peabody Museum ag Yale, our anceators, ‘the hairy apes, originally dieported themrelves and raised large families in the yegion of the North Pole, which was then e, land of warmth and light and color. Waheu the North Pole began to cool off the apes were driven to the 28 directions, and at extremity of finding a way to keep or else freezing to death, they avcidentally hit upon the method of making a fire. Thia accident, says Dr, Wortman, ex- plaing why we are here. Of course we couldn't be here if all our ancestors had frozen to death. The discovery of fire led to other discoveries, the wits of tho apea became sharper and they evoluted to prehistoric man.

They had come to scoff; they remained to congratulate. Dr. Wortman, who Is only thirty-five years of age, is hailed as the man who has struck the right line of explanation of the reason why we are on earth. It 8 not generally known to those who. haye been willing to agree that we were here, and to let it go at that, that there was a time when what Is now ,the United States was inhabitated by apes exclusively. We have been too busy making money to attend much to explorations in re- mote sections of the country, and few fossils that have been found have been considered as entirely distinct from the remains dug up in other parts of the world, from which the theory of evolu: tion has been bulit up. Inasmuch as the ABS Most closely: approaching the ‘man as he oxists to-day flourished plentfully in the tropical regions of the Gia World, 8 investigation has disclosed, it was Supposed that none of our hairy anges: e tora ever establish tora ever estabitshed a residence tn these »Prospeeting for Ape Remnants. Dr. Wortman, by close study of the fossils in the colection of the late Prof. Othniel Marsh, of Yale, became con vinced that there was a relationship be- tween the extinct ape of North America and the ape of the tropics, But fossil specimens were so few that. he could not reach @ positive state of ming on the subject. ced he determined to make ‘urther investigations on his own re sponsibility, oe Tt appears that invest tors have found that morning, Is the bem ape freveyard in the United States, and to yoming went Dr, Wortman and his assistants. They set up thelr cam: the Bridger Basin last summer and'| gan to assay the earth for the rem: of our ancestors, Dr. Wortman, after a great deal of labor, succeeded’ in digging up the larger art ‘of the skeleton of an extinct ape. e front part of the skull was in al- most perfect condition. From thie skul} Dr. Wortman was able to make import- ant deductions, for it was the firet com- plete akull of ae extinct Wyoming an- cestor that had ever been discovered. Establishing Relationship, From his investigations he concluded that the Wyoming ape, hitherto sup- posed to be a distinct type from those that flourished in the tropics, was in Teality of the same species. He found that the Wyoming ape was & eloge relative—the closest ever dis- covered~of the aye aye, a remarkable animal that Is found to this day in the forests of Madagascar. that the monkey-like Tarsler, ings from tree to tree in these of the same structure as was the tinct Wyoming ape. In addition he finds that living South American apes are so similar to what the Wyoming ape must have been that evidence ig conclusive that the living apes in widely separated sections of the world were descended, if not from the Wyoming ape, at least from one of the same species, which may be dug up in fossil form in some other part of the 0 WY; foswils were dug up from a depth which mdicates that they were buried at about the beginning of the second atage of the Kooene age, In beds oor @ tohe same age in actly similar have beer ‘How then did this family of apes come separat a0 widely ross seas with nothing to travel in? vin. the beginning of the second Of the Eocene age, Dr. Wortman says, our divisions of land and water were protty much the same as they are now.
