BYRD STARTS LONELY VIGIL IN ANTARCTIC Admiral Will Spend Eight Months in Hut on Ice Barrier. By United Press LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, March 28— Via Mac Kay Radio).— Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd was isolated in a iittle snow-buried hut on the blizzard-swept Ross ice barrier 123 miles from this camp today, prepared to spend eight months alone and in darkness. Crews of two tractors, which took supplies to the hut, were believed tc be on their return trip. It was Admiral Byrds idea to bury himself out on the Ross ice barrier, et 60 degrees and more below zero, to study alone meteorological conditions. Admiral Byrd has three wireless sets, and the call letters KFY. He said before he left here, however, that he might not be able to keep in communication with the camp, and might not want to, so that no one was to worry about him if he was silent. The shack Is a very small, oneroom one. To protect it from hurricane winds it has been buried at present snow level, with tunnels leading to caches of food and other supplies. Inside, besides Admiral Byrd’s books and personal equipment, are a double registering thermometer, inside and outside thermometers, two minimum maximum thermometers and a recording barograph. In the admiral’s absence, the fifty-five men at the camp here will be under the direction of Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, senior scientist, appointed second in command. $25,000 DAMAGE SUIT FILED IN CAR CRASH State Senator Defendant in Case at Bluff ton.

Animals Have Reasoning Power, Curator Claims

Rotary Club Speaker Tells of Experiences in Boston Zoo. How an elephant “plugged” rocks at an hippopotamus was described by George F* Morse, former curator of the Boston zoo and now a University of Chicago zoologist, in a talk before the Rotary Club yesterday at the Claypool. He told how the elephant, after many vain attempts to kick the hippo on the nose, proceeded to the other end of the cage, some seventy feet away, picked up a boulder and returned to heave it at his neighbor in the next cage with an accuracy that would have done credit to Carl Hubbell. “Every day thereafter the elephant waited for the hippo to come out of his tank of water and then ■plugged’ rocks at him,” said Mr. Morse. He pointed to this as an example supporting his contention that animals have reasoning power and do not act entirely by instinct. “Any one who watches animals consistently knows that at times they do certain things for an express purpose which has no connection with past experience,” he stated.

After thirty years spent with animals, Mr. Morse declared that he could not possibly shoot one just for the thrill of it. “To me," he said, “it is a far greater thrill and requires more cunning to slip up on the animals in their native haunts and photograph them.

FOUR HELD FOR GRAND JURY IN TRUCKSTRIKE Defendants Charged With Disturbing Transit of Perishables. Four alleged strikers in the Kibler Trucking Company labor trouble were bound over to the grand jury in municipal court today while judgment was withheld in the case of another alleged striker and a sixth man arrested was discharged in court. The four men held for grand jury action were George Acton, 29. of 2316 Southeastern avenue; Ray Belcher, 25, of 455 North Gray street; Omer Hartman, 32, of 1502 Grant street, and Ernest Eddleman, 43, of 315 Lyons avenue. All four were charged with violations of the state law which prohibits interference with perishable foodstuffs in transit. Charges of disorderly conduct growing out of street fighting during the labor trouble last week were dismissed against Oliver Harman of 2843 McPherson street. Judgment was withheld in the case of George Amend, 29, of 5657 East Washington street, also charged with disorderly conduct. Members of the United States regional labor board met with representatives of the Kibler company late yesterday to wrangle over the open shop clause in the agreement. Last night’s meeting was the second such session in forty-eight hours. The employes, it was learned, agreed to the wages proposed by the company, ranging from 50 to 65 cents an hour, but insisted upon the inclusion of a “closed shop” clause. The agreement proposed by the company through its attorney, Albert Ward, included a clause permitting the employment of nonunion labor.
