DID CHRISTIANS KILL
81 81 SCIENTIST JONES?

CHICAGO. May tS.-Information that
Dr. William Jones, 'of the field museum.
who was murdered at Dumabatu, in Lu-
ION, on March 8 may have been killed
by so-called Christians instead of BY saw
age head hunters, has been received by
DR.. George A. Dorsey, of the museum, in
letter from Dean c.. Worcester. secre-
tary. of the interior for the Philippines.
Secretary Worcester intimated that
Christians may have had motives of re-
venge for the crime. According to .Secre-
tary Worcester, it is improbable that the
head hunting Ilongots, with whom DR..
Jones lived and worked. were in any way
to blame for the death of the scientist.
These ~savages brought the body to the
authorities and all evidence points to
their innocence. the secretary declares.
DIR. Dorsey recalled the fact that DIR.
Jones had told him in one of his letters
that certain Christian native traders had
followed him into the wild Ilongot coun-
try, having feared to penetrate this dis
trict before his arrival.
s1"When first heard of his death and
learned that 1t was attributed to Ilongots
of Dumabatu, with whom l knew that
he had lived on friendly terms" the letter
states, 'the idea Immediately occurred 10

SIGNALS TO MARS
IS PURE NONSENSE

CINCINNATI, o., May 1s.-"AIl this
talk about signalling to Mars or even
the suggestion that Mars may be inhabit-
ed by intelligent beings, is. pure nom
sense, in my opinion" said Jermain G..
Porter, director of the Cincinnati obser-
vatory of astronomy at Cincinnati uni
versity $3.50
There is no basis whatever for beliey-
ing that any signals can be sent from or
to the. planet or that there Is anyone
there to send or receive them. .e.t
Personally, 1 do not think 1t possible
that life can exist on Mars. In the first
place, the temperature is extremely cold,
far below anything we know of on earth:
Then the air is very rare-much rarez
than on the peaks of the Hottest noun
tains we know anything about
"A third great objection to the theory
that Mars is inhabited is the fact that
we have no evidence that there is any
water on the planet. The so-called canals
OF Schiaparelli were not so termed by
their discoverer. He calls the channels
and does not contend that they contain
water l know that some astronomers
have contended that the existence OF
these canals proves Mars to be inhabited.
1 don't believe 1T. 1 think If these efforts
to signal to the planet are carried out,
it will simply be waste of money
