INDIAN ORIGIN TRACED RACK TO STONE AGE Ancestors Most Cultured of Earliest Europeans, Says Scientist. BY WATSON DAVIS Managing Editor. Science Service NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 28. Anew origin for the American Indian that dates his ancestors back to the most cultured of the men of the old stone age of Europe was presented to the anthropologists of the American Association for the Advancement of Science here this morning by Dr. Alex Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian Institution. The famous cro-magnon men of Europe, who decorated caves with realistic paintings and made remarkable sculptures that indicate high skill, are the new designated great-great-grandfathers of the Redskins of our western plains. An extensive study of the skeletons of prehistoric men in Europe caused Hrdlicka to come to this conclusion. Mouse as Man’s Teacher Heretofore, it was possible to trace the descent of the Indians only as far back as supposed ancestors who once lived in Siberia, whence they emigrated to America. Similar shaped skulls and identical practice of burying red iron ore paint with their dead caused Hrdlicka to associate the Indians with the early Europeans. The mouse can teach man many lessons about himself and experiments upon this small animal may prove to be the salvation of the human race. This was the prediction of Dr. C. C. Little, president of the University of Michigan, who addressed the association^ “The rapid multiplication of mankind has forced the attention of man upon himself and his neighbors,” Little said. Since the mouse is a mammal, very like man in many respects, which can be bred in large numbers quickly and at little expense. Little urged that intensive research in genetics be undertaken upon this animal in order to provide answers for some of the vital problems facing the human race. Crickets, Katydids Orchestras How is size and growth determined? What controls fertility and sterility in reproduction? What determins the inherited susceptibility or resistance to disease? How can innate phychological differences be accounted for? Mice will tell. As assistants in the work, scientists will call upon rats, dogs and other animals who approach man in their physical and mental makeup. . . Crickets and katydids singing simultaneously as if they were performing under the guidance of an orchestra leader is made possible by the fact they actually hear with the so-called ears upon their front legs, Prof. B. B. Fulton of lowa State College reported. Snails were the favorite dinner meat of the prehistoric men of North America, according to Dr. George L. Collie of Beloit College who told of excavating huge mounds [of small snail shells in the course of F his archaeological investigations.

REMUS SANITY TRIAL STARTS; ASKSFREEDOM ‘Actor Type—Bad Actor,’ Says Alienist in Describing Ex-Rum King. By United Press CINCINNATI, Dec. 28.—George Remus, former millionaire rum runner, whose spectacular career has drawn the eyes of the Nation, came before Probate Judge William H. Lueders today in what may be his last fight for freedom for the murder of his wife, Imogene. A jury last week, after nineteen minutes deliberation, acquitted Remus "on the sole grounds of insanity” and Remus must now prove himself sane to obtain his freedom. Failing in this, he will be subject to commitment to the State hospital for the criminally insane. Remus' attorney, Charles H. Elston. was accompanied into court by three alienists who testified during Remus’ trial that he was sane. Alienists to Report Three other alienists who examined Remus last week w r ere prepared to submit their findings to Judge Lueders, who will announce the final decision as to Remus' mental condition. The hearing presented an odd contrast to the murder trial. During his trial Remus claimed he was insane, Oct. 6. when he shot his wife. The State sought to prove him sane and now both sides have reversed themselves. Judge Lueders and Dr. H. H. Hoppe, one of the State's three alienists, questioned the witnesses. In response to the question of whether he considered Remus sane, Dr. David Wolfstein, who testified during the Remus trial, said: "George Remus is sane, but I consider him a ruthless, reckless, selfish ego-centric individual. "He has a tendency to take the law into his own hands. His record shows a tendency toward the criminal side of life. He can be violent and he has shown he can be dangerous. “He is of the histrionic type, an actor and a bad actor at that.” Two other alienists, Drs. E. A. Baber and Charles E. Keily corroborated Dr. Wolfstein's testimony. Both said they “considered him very dangerous to be at liberty,” and each based his statement on “Remus egotism, his temper and his definite threats to kill.” Dr. Baber added that he believed Remus' own statements “show he is not safe.” Remus sat forward in his chair attentively as the doctors testified. He had been informed that Judge Luedcr recently sent a man to the State hospital, despite the fact that alienists declared him sane. Hate for Dodge Dr. Baber asked George Conners, another witness. If he believed Remus would kill Dodge, (Franklin L. Dodge) whom Remus accused of stealing his wife's affections, if he were liberated. “I don't know about that,” he answered. Conners was Remus’ chief lieutenant to the rum-running business and testified for Remus at the latter's murder trial. He said, in answer to questions, thafT “three weeks before the killing Remus had no intention of killing that woman. He was negotiating a property and divorce settlement with her and they would have settled if she had been willing.” Conner s answered “yes" when asked if it would be safe to release Remus. “The greater danger.” he said, “is that Dodge may attempt to kill Remus.” “Would you say Remus has no resentment toward Dodcrs?” Conners was asked. “He hates Dodge more than any other man.” Conners answered, “but that doesn't mean he would kill him.” The knowledge that Mfs. Remus and Dodge can no longer “associate together has relieved Remus of much anxiety,” Conners said.

ORDER SAVINGS DIRECTORS TO PAYGN STOCK Defunct Association Backers Held Responsible for Total of $29,000. " Directors of the defunct Indiana Citizens Savings and Loan Association, in which hundreds of Indiana residents bought stock three years ago, were held liable for repayment of $29,677.88 to the receiver, Harry L. Klayer in a finding of Superior Judge Linn D. Hay today. The directors are: Charles J. Orbison, attorney, and imperial klaliff of the kloncilium of the national Ku-Klux Klan; Leslie D. Clancy, Walter Lesaulnier, Edgar Hart and Adjt. Gen. William H. Kershner. Promoter Got Big Slice The court found that the directors paid to H. J. Sommers, a promoter, to sell stock and membership subscriptions in the concern. THe membership fee was 50 cents on each share of stock of $lO par value. The judge held that the subscribers were told the 50 cents was to go into a “reserve fund” of SIOO,OOO which would protect their capital. The court finds that the directors, instead of putting all fees so collected into a reserve fund, paid Sommers 45 cents out of each 50 cents. According to the finding the result was that out of a total of $51,000 collected from sale of stock and the membership fees, more than $21,000 went to Sommers and more than $7,000 for salaries and expenses in one year. Civil Suits to Recover The membership blank was so worded as to deceive the subscriber, the judge hrid. “The association became insolvent because of the manner in which the business was conducted. Misappropriations of the fund caused real injury to the shareholders,” says the finding. The company was incorporated in February, 1925, at $1,000,000. In February. 1926. when a receiver was appointed by Circuit Judge Harry Chamberlin there was $521.48 in cash left. Orbison was elected president at the first board of directors meeting, Kershner. vice president and Clancy, secretary treasurer. Judge Hay filed the finding in Judge Chamberlin's court, where the original receivership suit was filed. It w T as said the next action of the receiver lies in instituting suit to recover the money which Judge Hay declared is due from directors. 2 HURT IN PLANE CRASH Heavy Mist Blinds Pilot, Member of 'Round-World Flight.
