WILL CAM MONKEY TALK
WHILE Gagged IN AFRICA
PROF. GARNER TO LIVE AMONG
APES IN THE WILDS. WILL
GO FULLY ARMED.

NEW YORK.-Prof. Richard L..
Garner, who several years ago made
study of the language of the apes
in the African forests, will soon again
take up his temporary residence in
steel cage in the French Congo re-
gion to resume his scientific studies
of the gorilla and the chimpanZee.
Professor Garner is making ar
rangements to leave New York next
week for the Congo in behalf of the
Smithsonian institution and the New
York Geological society. He hopes
to obtain a collection of animals and
natural history specimens and is es-
pecially anxious to capture a young
chimpanzee which can be trained as
we'll. as Susie, the chimpanzee that
died year ago in the Bronx zoolog-
zeal park.
Prof. Garner will attempt to in
crease his vocabulary of words used
by the apes and will carry phono-
graph records to record their Ian
guage. He hopes also to obtain NOV
ing pictures of the army ant of At
RIGA and of the ferocious soldier and
forager ant.
He will construct cage of steel
rods fve-sixths of an inch in dame
ter, inclosed by a netting of steel
wire on a pineapple plantation in the
Lake Fernan Vaz basin, about two
miles south of the equator and l5O
miles from the coast.
The cage will be covered with
branches and leaves and Prof. Gar
ner will live in it pursuing his stud
les.
He will be armed with rife and re-
volvers and an ammonia squirt gun
to discourage over-inquisitive prowl-
ers. He will carry three moving
picture cameras. By food calls and
scents he hopes to lure gorillas to
his cage and capture them.

GEORGIA WOMAN SHOOTS
NEGRO WHO ATTACKED HER
Bloody Wrist Leads to His Capture.
Is Later LYnChed.

CARTERSVILLE, Ga.-Jesse Nc
Corkle, a negro, was taken from jail
near here early today by a mob of
some forty or fifty men and boys and
hanged to tree in front of the city
hall. His body was riddled with
bullets.
The negro was arrested last night
charged with having broken into the
home of a woman near here. He was
caught still bleeding from wound
in the wrist where the woman had
shot him, and in possession of her
pistol, which he had taken from her
in scuftle.
The victim, a woman about 80
years of age, and her five small chill
dren were the only persons in her
home when the attack was made. Her
husband is in South Carolina, where
she was to have joined him in a few
days. AS the negro broke into her
house she fired at him with a pistol,
and hit his right wrist. The wound,
however, did not stop the negro, who
rushed in and overpowered her.
Later the negro left, taking the pistol
with him, and the woman and chill
dren succeeded in arousing neigh
bors. The woman was placed in care
of a physician, who said her condi-
ton was serious.

las to the desirability of the mar
riage of blondes and brunettes, the
character scientist said, such match
es must be carefully made, because
the characters of the persons are so
different. There are so many things
which they must learn to understand
about these differences. Why, the
brunette wife might heat the soup

way, would scald her blonde hus-

HARDENAN SAYS
HE RATTLE DRY BONES
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNORSHIP
DECLARES CAMPAIGN is NOT
TO BE A QUIET ONE.
SCORES HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Asserts 1t Is Interfered With by Pol
tiles. Refers to Effort OF Certain
ProhibitiOnists to Keep Him Out
of the Present Race.

JACKSON, Ga.-Dr. L. G. Harde-
man, candidate for governor, in a
political speech here today at the
noon recess of court, paid his re-
spects to the central prohibition com
mittee of Atlanta for its attempt to
influence him to stay out of the gu
bernatorial race this year, and said
he was not dictated to by any organ
ization of clique. He also said that
the race between him and Gov. Harris
is not to be the quiet affair it was
two years ago, when Gov. Harris de-
feated DR.. Hartman for the high
place both are asking again.
DR.. Hardman spoke TO a medidm-
sized crowd of mediocre enthusiasm.
His address consisted largely of emu
meraiton, explanation and eulogy of
the various measures which he sup
ported while a member of the gem
eral assembly.
These measures consisted mainly
of bill authorizing the teaching of
the principles of civil government in
the states schools, bills tending to
develop scientific agriculture, bills
for the PRONUNCIATION of pubic
health, including the original appro-
priatiOn bill for the treatment of
tuberculosis, of which he was the au-
| thor.
On the subject of public health, il
passing, he paused long enough to
censure the public health department
for not putting into operation the vi
tai statistics law, and stated that he
could not produce figures to prove
some of the assertions he made con-
corning conditions in Georgia by rea-
son of the fact that this law has not
been put into operation.
In this same connection DR.. Harde-
man made the assertion that politics
in the state health department is in
! terfering with tn conduct of that de-
partment to the best interests of the
public, and asserted that in the event
of his election to the governorShip
it is his purpose to use his efforts II
eliminate politics from the health
department.
Justifying his candidacy in the face
of the claim made in some quarters
that Gov. Harris is entitled to a sec
ond term, without opposition, DR..
Hardman pointed out that the two
terms precedent has already been
broken, and that regardless of that
the constitution gives him the right
to run whether man has had his
second term or not.
The first inkling that before the
present campaign is over DR.. Hard
man intends to rattle dry bones, sc
to speak, came when he declared
that the basis of the present cam
paign should be upon a comparison
of records. He then outlined his rec
ord and stated that he had the rec
ord of Governor Harris in his pocket
and was ready to make it public in
| due season

Croix. Danish West Indies, accord
ing to passengers arriving here today
from St. Croix on the steamship Par
anna
The strike has assumed such pro-
portions that Danish officials and
white residents fear violence. the pas
sengers declared. Armed guards pa
troll the streets of the principal cities
and towns, while marines with ma
chine guns have been landed from a
Danish cruiser. Cannon have been
put into position to sweep all APP
proaches to government buildings
and banks.
Passengers from St. CroiX united
in asserting that the situation was
serious. J. F. Quinn of St. Gather
inc, Canada, said;
about 10000 people are affected
by the strike. They are asking for
an increase of one shilling per day
in wages. Their leader is a native
named Jackson, who recently re-
turned from a trip to the United
States. AS soon as the strike started
plantation owners drove from the
property the strikers and their fami-
lies. Most of them have fiocked to
the cities of Frederiksted and Christ
iansed, where the women and chill
dren are being fed by the churches
and charitable agencies, the cities
giving over the school houses for
sleeping quarters.

and everywhere I saw plantations
deserted except for armed guards,
with the crop of cane ready for cut
ting. 1t will be total loss unless it
is gathered soon. In the cities mar

ACTION DEFERRED ON
 CITY PHYSICIAN
Members of City Commission Did Not Concur With Recommendation of
 Commissioner Barber

When the appointment of city physi- clan was brought up at a conference held yesterday morning by the commissioners, Mir Barber recommended Dr. Charles F. Copeland for the office. Friction became evident when the remainder of the com mission refused to concur in the recon mendation of MT Barber.
 While nothing definite was done in re- gard to the successor off former City Physician Whelan, whose resignation be- comes effective on the first of the month, it is thought that the appointment of Dr. Copeland will meet opposition from the other commissioners. Dr. Cecil Gas ton is prominently mentioned for the po- sition and it is generally understood that an effort will be made to compromise on him being named. Several other applica- tions are before the commissioners, but the opinion at the city hall is that the appointment lays between Dr. Gaston and Dr. Copeland.
 Inasmuch as this appointment comes under the department of Mr. Barber, the commissioners are reluctant to oppose any recommendation made by him. It was evident yesterday that pr. Copeland was not the choice of the majority of the commissioners.
