TO STUDY CHINESE TRIBES.
Scientists Hope to Find Missing Link
Among Aborigines.

=
Among Aborisines.
BY Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 4.-The expedition
sponsored by the American Museum
Of Natural History which will set
forth for China next February will
search not only for fossils Of the
ape man, regarded by biologists as
the missing link" in the chain Of
evolution, but will study the abor-
| iginal tribes now said to be fast dis
appearing in China.
I'VE know as little about some of
, the living natives as about the fossil
| history Of the country" says Roy
| Chapman Andrews who will lead the
| expedition. Long before theChinese
arrived, China was inhab ited by alb
original tribes, which were pushed
south and west just as the Indians
| were driven westward by white men
| who advanced across the American
continent.
| Remnants OF nearly thirty of
| these tribes. such as the Lolos,
| Mosos, Lisos and others, are rapidly
disappearing, and the EXPEDITION ex-
poets to study them before they be-
come extinct"
whom he has hunted, Mr.. Andrews
said they are totally unlike Chinese,
having tall and slender bodies, long
| faces, patrician noses and other char
acteristics of Caucasian blood.
Mr.. Andrews says that scientific
men are now agreed in the belief
that the oldest prehistoric remains of
man, and of many beasts. lie some
where within the great central Ash
attic plateau. where few white men
have ever penetrated.
One of the reasons why little is
known Of China's fossils and those OF
interior Asia Is that material Of this
sort is carefully concealed by the
Chinese. who term the relics
dragons bones and use them for
medicinal purposes. said Mr.
Andrews.
! One result expected is the educa-
| ton OF Americans In knowledge OF
the immense continent across the
Pacific. Whether success or failure
| meets the. attempt, to find the miss
l
| specimens Of Asiatic animal anG
plant life are to be collected and
brought to America. These it Is
planned to place in the proposed
100000 hall Of Asiatic life In this
city.
Hunts for wild animals many OF
which the explorer hopes to bring
alive to the United States will fur
nish excitement. In corner Of the
Cobb desert are herds of wild horses

tween the antelope and the goat
says Mr.. Andrews.
Headquarters. for the EXPEDITION are
to be at Picking. The work Of the
expedition Is to continue for five
years. The first year viii be devoted
to studies in palaeontology and 20
ology in China. The second year the
work is to be carried into Mongolia

TAX REVISION TOT COME.
Special Session of Congress May be
Called to Speed Action.

Washington, Nov. with the
election of Senator Harding revision
of tax and tariff laws at special
session of congress to be called prob
able to pass taxation and tariff meas
according to authentic information.
Altho the republicans would be
able to pass taxation and tariq meas
ures at the December session, there
is little likelihood they viii do SO In
view Of possible executive vetoes and
also because they wish to await rec
concentrations from the new presi-
dent and from his secretary of the
treasury.
Secretary Of the Treasury Houston
in his forthcoming annual report win
renew his recommendation for the
repeal or modification of the excess
profits tax and for various other
changes in the revenue law. Action
on legislation of this nature, how
ever undoubtedly will be delayed I'M
til after March 4.
Revenue and tariff leg.s,a ton will
be In charge of the same senators
and representatives who now head
the commitees having jurisdiction
over them.
Sentiment for the repeal of the ex-
cess profits tax has become so wide
spread that action along this line is
believed to be assured. The question
to be decided is what the substitute
for the excess profits taxes shall be.
Disagreement over this question Is
one factor which may tend to delay
action until after March 4,
BY the time then new session con-
venes 1t is the expectation that senti-
ment among the business men or the
country relative to the best substi-
tute for the excess profits tax will
have crystallized. The American
Bankers Association and the Cham
Der Of Commerce of the United
States are expected to play an i'm
portant part in arriving at the feas-
ible form OF taxation.
The economic policy commission OF
the American Bankers Association is
making special study OF revenue
legislation with view to recon-
mending substitute for the excess
profits tax. The Chamber OF Com
merce OF the United States will make
consideration of taxation the most
prominent feature of it's convention
next April.
In view OF more pressing demand
Tor relief from burdensome provis-
ions OF the present tax laws it is the
expectation that congressional hear
ings on that subject will be the first
IN order. Hearings on tariff legisla
ton will follow probably as soon as
the house has passed the tax bill and
sent 1t over, to the senate.
