rHn CRADLE or MAN.

Another theory ot Che cradle of the
human racer has been advanced this
umo by samuel Wadlug.on In the
Nineteenth Century Hitherto it has
been supposed that this cradle must
have stood somewhere in tropical, OF
sami-rop,cal regions Of the earth The
very fact that man, unlike tur-covered
animals. IS not by nature provided with
adequate protection against the severity
of the colder zones Is taken as tndicat-
ing this
Mr. Washington. however believes
that when man first made his appear
ance ON earth. the tropical re-
gions were too hot for any forms of
animal Hft lie thinks the advent Of
man occurred long before the glacial
epoch. and somewhere In or neal the
Arctic regions BE ventures the opin-
lon that the vast tract OF land lying
between the Trial mountains ON the
west and the Behrng straits, the sea OF
Okhotsa. and Manchur.a on the east
may have been the fatherIand Of the
first families Of the human race In
this vast area. three thousand miles
across. the human family may have
multiplied fo centuries before 1t
spread to Other continents.
At that time. Mr.. Waddington thinks,
the American continent was Joined to
Asia by an isthmus, thus enabling the
race to cross over aud settle here even
earlier than the first settlers Of western
Europe found a resting place in that
part OF the world

Freehold, N. j.. Oct. 23.-Three indict-
ments against Rev. DR., Henry NJ. Whar-
ton, the evangelist, of Baltimore who
was charged with fraud and taking money
illegally, were handed up today by the
Monmouth county grand jury. Dr.. Whar-
ton is charged by Miss Clara Somers. of
Ocean Grove, with having obtained money
under false pretenses. Miss Somers
transferred property to Mr.. Wharton to
be used as a home for children She had
the doctor arrested upon a charge of rails
ing money by mortgaging it. His friends
asserted that there was some mistake.
Dr. Wharton, through his attorney. states
that there is really one mortgage on the
orphanage property, that of $4,000. This.
he says covers primarily personal effects
and real estate in Baltimore more than
sufficient to pay it, and the mortgage on
the Somerset property is only as collat-
eral security. There was a mortgage of
50, 900 on the property he says, when he
took it. which was to have been taken
up by the mortgage in the later trans
action.
Dr. Wharton declares that his arrest is
the result of a conspiracy against him.

Since his arrest he has been in receipt of
numerous letters and kilograms Offering

spanish-American War Claims.
(Bv the Associated Press, }


Washington, Oct. 23.-Many inquiries
have been made recently at the Pension
Office as to the status of claims filed for
pensions by soldiers of the Spanish Ameri-
can war Commissioner Evans said today
that the bureau scarcely had time to re-
spond to all the inquiries. but that the
claims were being adjudicated as rapidly
as possible. He added that some of the
claims had been delayed by the difficulty
in obtaining the necessary official records
at the War Department.
There have been filed $4,000 claims on
account of the Spanish American war up
to October 22nd,'' said the Commissioners
Calls have been made for evidence in
81. 424 of these claims. Medical examina-
tions have been ordered by this bureau in
1924 claims. The difference between the
number of claims filed and the number OF
medical examinations ordered practically
represents the number of widows and de-
pendents' claims. Four thousand, three
hundred and twenty seven of these claims
have been adiudicated already"

NEVER BEEN MADE PUBLIC.
McKinley's Instructions to Commissioners
Who Negotiated the Paris Treaty.
(By the Associated Press. }


Chicago, Oct. Ex-senator Jones, chair
man of the Democratic National Commit
tee made the following statement today:
''The instructions given to the commits
sioners on the part of the United States
to negotiate the treaty with Spain in
Paris in 1898, have never, 50 fapas | know,
been made public. When the treaty was
before the Senate for ratification there
was a great demand that these instruc-
tions should be made public. So great
was the desire for information that many
newspapers published what was claimed
to be inside information about what these
instructions contained But for some rea-
son. and doubtless not an unimportant
one this desire was not gratified.
1.-The President. in his letter of accep-
lance, quoted part of these, as | under
stand, secret instructions. / addressed
him a note October 5th calling his at
tention to this fact, and requested that
inasmuch as the part of the instructions
which he considered favorable to the po-
sition of his political party was so used
by him, the remainder should be made
public Conceiving it impossible that the
President of the United States would use
part of secret document for the advance
ment of his personal fortunes and the in
terests of his own political party and at
the same time refuse to the public the
remainder of this document. l expected
to have a prompt answer from the Presi-
dent. l have now waited for more than
two weeks and have not had the honor of
an acknowledgement even of the receipt
