SECOND EXPEDITION
| EXPLORING AMAZON
Party of Two Are Obtaining speei'
mons in Eastern Eraxil for
Michigan Museum.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April IA Sec
ond expedition into tho Amazon river
district Of South America is exploring
the region of Eastern Brazil in the. in
terests OF the University of Adichigan.
It is announced by DR.. A. c. Ruthven,
director Of the university museum.
The second expedition is being car
ried on by but two white men. Jesse
Williamson OF Burton, Ind. and Capt,
John Strom. an army officer stationed
in the Philippines for some time and
who has had wide experience in ex-
p1oration fields.
They are obtaining specimens for the
Michigan museum and also seeking
data about animals to be found In the
Amazon country that will link various
species Of animal life. The work will
continue several months.
Another exploration party for the
university has just completed It's work
in Brazil and is on the way out OF that
country, DR.. Ruthven is advised. This
group was headed by Dr.. Rusty and Is
known as the Muiford exploration. DR..
Rusty some time ago suffered from an
infected tooth and because OF compli-
cations was forced to leave the party
and turn leadership over to DR.. w. NJ.
Mann, assistant curator In the division
Of insects OF the United States Ma
tional museum.
The Milford exploration party has
made exhaustive Investigations in
western Brazil and Bolivia, and is re-
turning with several thousand plant
numbers. A large amount OF material
has been shipped to this country. The
specimens will go to the economic mu--
scum of the New York Botanical Gar
den and to other institutions.
In the entomology branch 100000
specimens have been collected, includ-
ing 125 different species of ants. The
fish collection also is important.
DR.. Rusby's return journey is de-
scribed by DIR. Ruthven rs remarka-
Bile one becaues Of the difficulties he
was obliged to overcome. Despite his
illness he took leave of other members
of the party in Bolivia and started
alone on the afduous journey across
the continent, trip about 1000 miles
long, by raft, launch, river steamer
and railroad. He arrived at Manaos,
Brazil, January 8, and arranged to
leave for New York in February.
In discussing the objects of the uni
versity's various expeditions into
South America, DIR. Ruthven declared
specimens from the region are of great
value in linking one species with an
other. Certain animal groups furnish
the key to other mysteries of evolution,
he pointed out, and the university is
seeking to trace these relationships.

Vieksburg, say that with the exception
Of the cave in at Old Town. Ark,
where they report the levee to have
been repaired and in satisfactory
condition, no serious trouble has oc-
CURED at any point south of Cairo.
Major L. Y. Kerr, United States en-
gineer in charge of the levees in the
White river Arkansas district. early
today sent Major Garnder from the
engineers office here to make thor
ougn inspection of the situation at Old
Town. Major Kerr tonight said that

there is no danger of the levee at that
point breaking. The force of men who

They will stay on the job" Mr..
Lewis said. "Of course, tile coal they
get out does not enter into central and
eastern fields competition, because it
goes south to market.
Although the operators regard each
other as competitors, Mr.. Lewis said,
and are not acting in concert" I'VE
know that we can't get a general wage
scale without unity of action in the
central competitive field, because a
difference of cent day in wages
means cents per ton in the selling price
of coal, makes turmoil in markets, and
closes up old mines, to open new ones"
still, they were a unit in wanting
suspension" he continued. ''They had
loaded up all the big consumers with
coal on strike scare, and held up the
market prices while the loading was
going on. Now they think that il
they're shut down long enough thereH

Mr.. Lewis estimated the maximum
production of the uon- union mines at

he said, was good only for coke. Fur
