Hon. Geo. G. Matthews of the Fl
Lauderdale Sentinel was among the
prominent delegates to the Water
ways convention this week and to
whom we are indebted for a friend
ly call. Mr.. Matthews has been
offered consulate in South Ameri-

it for the reason that he served the
Cleveland administration five years
as CONSUL in Brazil, and therefore
knew what he was declining. He
speaks "ze Spanish" and knows the
South American country WE'LL and he
felt that he was entitled to hob-nob
in any of its courts as an envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipoten-

same way. Mathews is progress
sive and a vigorous one, true to
democracy, and he felt that he had
progressed far enough for the high

New York.-Dr. ]. Leon Williams
of London, an eminent authority on
anthropology and geology, arrived
from Liverpool with fifteen skulls of
prehistoric man, one of which he es.
timated to be 100000 years old. This
skull was found by workmen near
Folkestone, England, in strata that
dated back prior to the pleistocene era
and its existence and discovery have
confirmed Doctor Williams in the be-
lief that mankind is at least half a
million years old. Doctor Williams
said the finding of these ancient
skulls and other human bones did
not disprove, in his opinion, the pop
ular theory of evolution, but altered
it in some degree. Instead of man
being a descendant of the ape. Mr..
Williams said. these skulls tend to
confirm the belief that the anthropoid
ape was an offshoot of primitive man.

for final report soon, was reported to
the Democratic conference when it

Since the call for the conference was
issued Senators Reed and O'Gorman
had Joined Chairman Owen and Sena-
tors Pomerene, Shafroth and Hollis,
supporters Of the administration meas.
ure, despite their votes against some of
its provisions in the committee. These
six Democrats have virtually agreed
on a bill which meets the views of
President Wilson
A further attempt to swing Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska in line with his
Democratic colleagues, was made in
meeting of Democrats Of the commit
tee after the conference,
1t is probable that the Democrats
and Republicans will make a unani,
nous report on those details of the
bill which all approve and then sub,
nit supplementary reports showing
the senate their disagreement on the
