Melon Crop in Florida Believed to Have Been Totally Destroyed
 By Large Hail Drops.

 The heaviest loss was in this sec- tion, which was swept by a storm of cyclonic proportions. Houses were unroofed. windows broken and sev- eral orange groves destroyed. The melon crop in this and adjoining counties, the center of the melon belt of Florida, is believed to be ala most a total loss.

 Yesterday the party took in'' the Brooklyn navy yard, Ellis island, Staten Island and the Hippodrome where they witnessed the presenta- tion of "Pinafore.'

 The bill will be vigorously opposed by Senators Shafroth of Colorado and Fall of New Mexico, both mem bers of the mines committee Sena- tor Shafroth reserved the right to file a minority report when the commit tee recommendation was presented.
 It is understood the Walsh bill, if passed by the senate will be substi- tuted for pending house measures.

TWO NEW WITNESSES
 FOUND FOR cuNMEN
Counsel for Condemned Men Believe Their Testimony
 Will Win Reprieve.

New York, April 10.-Counsel for the four gunmen awaiting execution for the Rosenthal murder announced this afternoon that hey had found two new witnesses whose testimony they believed would gain a reprieve for trial.
 Lionel Kringle, one of theprisoter's attorneys, said that the affidavits of these witnesses would be submitted to a supreme court justice this afternoon or tonight and also laid before Cover nor Glynn. Until this is done, he said, the witnesses names would not be re- vealed.
 The first witness. according to Kringle, said that he stood in front of the Garden Restaurant three nights before Herman Rosenthal was mur- dered and heard Jack Rose say to Harry vallon as Rosenthal emerged, There he goes now. It's your chance to get him. This witness swore that coming out of the Elks' club on the night of the murder he saw the gray automobile in which the murderers made their escape fly past with Sam Schepps on the running board and "Bridgey" Webber and Harry Vallon in the car.
 The second witness the attorney said, asserted that he had seen Vallon and Webber shoot at Rosenthal dur ing the fusillade in front of the Hotel Netropole restaurant
 On account of the Good Friday holiday no courts were in session and the attorneys said they would have to hunt for supreme court justice at his home.
 The friends of the four gunmen today based their hopes for the condemned men on the al- legged evidence discovered by E. B. M. Browne, former active Jewish clergyman.
 This evidence--a note or memor- andum-Mr Browne submitted to Governor Glynn at Albany yesterday. Its authorship was admitted by Frank Moss. until recently assistant to Dis trict Attorney Charles B. Whitman, who prosecuted the gunmen. It read: Be careful of anything from Luban and Margolis," and was sent to form CT Governor Sulzer, who at the time was preparing for his trial for inn peachment when 1t was reported that Luban and Margolis were 10 be em- ployed to seek evidence in behalf of Sulzer. Luban was a witness against Becker and the gunmen and Margolis against Becker. This note, Rabbi Browne believes, discredits Luban and Margolis on authority of the district attorneys office.

ORIGINAL AMERICANS
 CAME FROM ASIA Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams Re- turns From Exploring Trip. SCIENTISTS OPINION DOUBTED
Communication to National Geogra- phic Society Contains Many Inter- esting Items Concerning Early His- tory of New World.

Washington. April 10.-After a thorough study of the peoples along the fringe of Asia and Siberia to Sunlatra in her efforts to trace the original American, Mrs. Harriet Chal- mers Adams one of Americas fore- most women explorers, in a communi- cation to the National Geographic society today expressed the opinion that the ancient "Americ" peoples, came by sea. possibly in broken stages, from Asia. Mrs. Adams has just re- turned to this country.
 Tn her communication she says:
 This earlier immigration, however, was at a very remote period, for our e-historic monuments point to an indigenous culture. A branch of an Old World race, these early Ameri- cans evolved to their highest civiliza- tion on New World soil"
 Scientists Are Doubted.
 Although scientists are said to agree that America was peopled by way of the northwest, Mrs. Adams doubts that all Americans came this way. In the Philippines, Mrs. Adams sad Ifugao warriors who resembled Aymara chiefs of the Ahdean highlands in spite of the difference in climate.
 This is not strange when we class the Ifugaos as Malays of the indo- Chinese branch of the yellow race and believe that ancient America was peopled from Asia" declares Mrs Adams Not only among certain Malay mountain tribes, but also in western China was I constantly re- minded of things Americ' but never among people of a low. grade of civilization, only when among people of ancient lineage. In olden days, great war canoes were padded by many oarsmen from one South Sea island to another It seems likely that in this fashion men set sail from the Malay peninsula, with their wives and children, food, household goods and domestic animals aboard, and, aided by wind and tide, reached the Prom ised Land, come palm fringed island in the tropic sea.
 Secured Many Records.
 Mrs, Adams has records of many small boats that apparently were blown across the Pacific, one of them a Japanese fishing boat which landed it's unwilling immigrants alive and we'll on California soil two years ago.

 Campaign Af.GiS Executive.
TEST OF LEGAL RIGHT SOON
Lawyers, Bond Men and Brokers Claim That Tuesdays Election
 Tangle Will Eventually Reach the

Hartford, April 10.-Mayor Joseph hall for a time this morning and held conferences with a number of lead- ing democrats and heads of city de- partments. He announced his inten- tion of leaving the city this afternoon for a rest of ten days following the strenuousness of the municipal cam paign.
 Test to Come.
 Lawyers and other astute observers of things political and municipal agreed today that the first test of the complete legal qualifications to be made will come upon the prospective issue of water bonds to the amount of $2,0OO,OO0. Bond buyers usually make a diligent search of the records and credentials in such a matter and it is possible that if there is no 'heal- ing act' secured to confirm MT. Law ler's title to office in manner satis- factory to the bond buyers, they may, to fulfill all possible interpretations of the law, have recourse to the courts. It is declared that there is no question of MT. Lawler's title as mayor de facto and the. legality of all his appointments and acts in that capacity: the advantage of court pro- ceedings would add the qualification of mayor de jure.
 Will Reach Courts.
 Lawyers, bond men and brokers discussed the situation today and one suggestion was that MalachiJ. Hogan, who is president of the board of al- dermen and was acting mayor of the city between 8 a. m. and the hour when MT. Lawler was sworn in on Thursday. should bring a friendly quo warranto proceeding against Mayor Lawler in order to secure court rul- ing. Whether or not this action or some other will be taken is not de- termined, but indications today are that the matter will eventually reach the courts.
