 TALK MONKEY
After Seven Years in African WiIds
 Man Learns Key.
Special to the News.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Scientists are still talking about the dispatch sent by Rev. Myers, Emmanuel Baptist church of this city, from Cape Lopez, West Africa
 Rev. Myers met Prof. Garner, who has been in the African wilds for seven years studying the monkey language.
 Prof. Garner declared he has discover ed key to the monkeys language, which contains 2S distinct sounds. He has learned the meaning of nine of them and claims to have conversed with the monkeys to a limited extent.
 He is convinced Darwin's theory of evolution is incorrect. The ape, he says, is not mans immediate ancestor.
 The nine sounds he knows express hunger, pain and joy. He knows when the monkeys call to him from tree and can answer them.
 Prof. Garner says the chimpanzee he owns is the most intelligent of any. She is year old, and he values her at $2,- 800. She can select colors and classify them. She can pick out cubes from blocks of various shapes.
 The professor thinks mans immedi- ate ancestor will be discovered with the finding of skeletons
 At one time he studied the monkeys from cage he built. The last time he studied them unprotected in the forest jungle.

THE GOLD OUTLOOK

The striking of the paystreak at the head of Lynx creek, merely confirms the theory of the old prospectors that the Gold Mountain district will yet become a large producer.
 The miners have known for many years that there is gold in paying quantities in the district; but the water has discour- aged many, besides the association evil has kept out many real prospectors.
 January l, great deal of ground will be open for relocation, and next year will show just wlat the district contains.
 There has been but little work done there in the summer, and many declare that is the only time to work the wet ground to advantage. There is a great deal of low grade dirt which can be pro- titably hydraulicked and dredged.
 Dr. Horstmann is now in Frisco rais- ing money to develop the ground. He will be back before Christmas. His re- port made to the capitalists was very conservative-so old miners who saw it declare-and his opinion carries great weight.
 In the Old Man country there are more men than ever before, and this winter should bring some very encour- aging reports from that quarter,
 The strike on Prospect creek, near Fish lake, is also attracting considerable attention; and, altogether, the future of Tanana-Which town is the logical base of supplies-is brighter than ever be- fore.

yelled loudly for help, nobody went to

they were going to kill him. Under re-
peated blows Bottoms sank unconscious

nailed the automobile to come up. and
q moment later they were off. An ambu-
lance was called from Flower Hospital,

GIRLS DEATH ACCIDENT.
Coroner's Verdict in Killing of
Negro Child Near Rockville.
Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md. June 2S, 1910
An inquest into the death of Ruth
Wood. the fifteen-year colored girl
who was Sunday evening killed by an
automobile driven by Roy NJ. Palmer
was held here yesterday afternoon, with
Justice of the Peace Reading acting as
coroner. After hearing the testimony of
about a dozen witnesses. a number of
whom witnessed the accident, the jury
brought in the following verdict:
''On June is. 1910, on the outskirts Of
Rockville, in Montgomery county, Nd
Ruth Wood came to her death by being
struck by an automobile driven by Roy
Palmer and We find that 1t was an I'M
avOidable accident"
While the testimony showed that Pal
mer was driving his machine rapidly it
also showed that he made every effort to
prevent the accident.
The most important witness was Mabel
Martin. young colored girl. who. with
several other girls, was walking along the
road with Ruth Wood as the automobile
came along. She swore that Palmer
sounded an alarm and attempted to steer
his machine away from the girls. but that
Ruth Wood, instead of continuing to the
left of the road, as did her compa Mons,
suddenly darted to the right just as the
automobile turned in that direction and
was struck.
The jury was composed of the follow
ing: Benjamin c. Hughes. foreman; James
F.. Kelchner. William b. Carr, Turner w
Welsh. l.. l.. Nicholson. James E. Kemp,
John III. Hilton, Thomas c. Groomes,
William s. Poss. Ulysses NJ. Ricketts,, j.
Richard Harriss and Edward V. Robey.
The condition of Mr.. Palmer, who is at
the Casualty Hospital, is today reported
to be improved.
