STORY OF TRINIL MAN TO
 BE REVEALED BY SCIENTIST

science as the Pithecanthropus Erectus, or upright man ape, Is sup posed to antedats by thousands of years any other fossils of man ever found. Discovered by Professor Du- bois more than 30 years ago the de- tails of the find have been kept virtually secret. It was known, the curator explained, that the skeleton, largely reconstructed, bore re- semblance to both man and the high CT, apes, but in many respects diff fered from both.
 Lived 100000 Years Ago.
 Something of the supposed age of the Trinil man is to be had from Dr. Osborn's theory, which is shared by other paleontologists that the young est of the presumably pre-human or ub-human ancestors of man whose fossils have been found is the Heidel- berg man. Bones of the Heidelberg man were found In the drift of the Neckar river valley in Germany and are estimated to be at least 100000 years old. Still older are the bones of the Piltdown man whose bones were found in the river drifts of Sussex England. Yet older are the bones of the Foxhall man, also found in Eng land. But oldest of all are the bones of the Trinil man of Java.
 So far back in time have scientists assigned the place of the Trinil man
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-09

that he Is supposed to have lived in those far yesterdays of the earth when life Itself was hardly out of the experimental stage in natures labor atory.
 In his lecture Dr. Osborn declared that the theories of both Bryan and certain of the Darwinists were out of date as result of medern discover ies. Tho ape, he declared, was not now supposed to be the ancestor of man, but in all probability cousin He holds the theory that both man and the ape have probably de- scended from a common type of animal.
 It was in Asia, either on the high plateaus of what now is China or possible south of there in the warmer lands of India that mankind had it's origin, in pr. Osborn's opinion. The uplands of China and especially the Gobi desert, afford to science the worlds greatest deposit of relics of bygone life that has been found, he said. His theory is that the original inhabitants of North and South America were descendants of Asiatic races that moved across land bridges which in past ages connected the eastern and western continents.

PET THEORIES ON
 TAXES NUMB ER0US
Every Other Man In Congress Has Plan He Wants Put
 Into Effect
By FRASER EDWARDS deased Wire to The Age-HeraId)

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Congress is at cross purposes on tax reduc- tion. Every other man in Congress has pet tax theory he wants to put into effect. The chief obstacle in the way of lower taxes is agree ment on a program.
 Despite the overwhelming senti- ment of Congress and the country for Tightening the tax burden, lead CTS of both parties agree that the virtually certain enactment of a so- called bonus law, despite MT. Cool idge's opposition, has so complicated the situation that no forecast of tax cuts can be made.
 Tax reduction programs range from the Mellon plan of 25 per cent income tax cut to the progressive demand of a bonus paid mainly by tax on large incomes, excess profits and an inheritance tax.
 While he refused to make any pre- dictions or promises, Chairman Green of the ways and means com mittee, said today that his commit tee would settle down to a steady grind on tax legislation early next week Leaders are agreed that cuts in the lower incomes and abolition of nuisance and amusement tax are most likely to be included in any program formulated.
 The real tug of war will come on the surtaxes. Mellon proposes to cut them in half. Progressives and many democrats believe they should re- main as at present.
 Adoption of a constitutional amendment to prohibit issuance of tax except securities Is also regard ed as likely.

GREATER TRIUMPH THAN |s TURBINE
Process Involves Vaporiza- ton Of Mercury, It's Con-
 densation And Reuse

SCHENECTADY. N. Y, Dec. S.-(By Associated Press.) .)-Power from mer- cury' vapor, making possible double vapor power plant in which turbines for generating electricity are driven both by mercury vapor and water Napor from the same fuel sources, resulting in a gain of about 50 per cent in power per pound of fuel, is the outstanding achievement of new boiler perfected by the General Electric company.
 The last great step in improving the efficiency of manufacturing pow CT was the replacement of the recip- rocating engine by the steam tur- bine. The invention of the mercury vapor boiler is regarded as greater step in the progress of science.
 The modern steam turbine is about 40 per cent more efficient than the best reciprocating engines, but ac- : cording to w. L. R. Emmet consult- ing engineer for the General Electric company and inventor of the new process, the mercury boiler is more than 50 per cent more/efficient than the best steam turbine. The mercury boiler is still considered an experi- ment, but like all great steps in ad vance,, time will be required to de- Nelop and perfect a system before this process can be expected to re- fleet csl the operating costs of public. utilities.
 Mir. Emmet estimates that if the mercury boiler comes up to all ex- pectations, it will produce with 35 pounds gauge pressure, when com pared with a steam turbine general ing plant which uses 200 pounds steam pressure, about 52 per cent more output in electricity per pound of fuel. And if," MT. Emmet adds 'in such a plant the boiler room is re-equipped with furnaces and mer- cury apparatus arranged to burn IS per cent more fuel, the station ca pacity with the same steam turbines, condensers. auxiliaries, water circu- lation, etc, would be increased about so per cent"
 The mercury vapor process in- wolves the vaporization of mercury in boiler driving of turbine by the mercury vapor and the condensation of the exhaust in a condenser where it's latent heat is delivered to water and thus used to generate steam at pressure suitable for use in existing steam plants
 Naturally" Mir. Emmet explained, the question which will arise in con nection with this mercury process is the danger from mercurial poisoning. either to the community or to the attendants. In the first place, all joints are welded, so that it is m- possible for mercury to escape except through accident, and arrangements are such that leakage if 1t should occur will go into the stack where it can do no harm."

 1t may be that the lad, whose claim on a part of the estate has come as the result of the finding of a bevy of learned lawyers, will discover that he had made the long trip only to engage in a legal battle. An elder sister, Eusidia Carmichael, 16, and an aunt, Mrs. Sarah Petit, have already laid claim to the estate and are opp erating the lands of the estate under the permission of courts.

Revelation To Come Princi-
 palIy As Result Of Re-
 searches On Desert Of Gobi

PEKING. Dec. s.-By Associated Press .)-The story of what some prominent scientists believe to have been the first human an cestor of the human race-of how he probably gained his livelihood, wooed his wives, reared his children and got his recreation-will soon be told to the world by Professor Du- bois, famous Dutch paleontologist.
 This revelation is to come prin cipally as the result of efforts of Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, cura- tor of the American museum of natural history, who directed re- searches on the desert of Gobi where so many ancient fossils recently have been found by eNcavators for scientific societies.
 How Dr. osborn prevailed on Pro- lessor Dubois to make public his findings in connection with the dis covery some years ago of the bones of the Trinil man in Java were ex- plained recently by the American scientist in a lecture before men of science in Peking.

FOXINSANITYPLEA
 WILL BE OPPOSED
First Open Move Made In Georgia ku KIux Slay-
 ing Case

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. S.-The state today made it's first open move to forestall a plea of insanity by Phil E. Fox, publicity director of the Ku kluX Klan, who will go on trial Wednesday charged with the murder of W. s. Boburn, attorney for the Simmons faction.
 Solicitor John Boyllin announced he would ask Judge Howard in su- perior court to appoint a lunacy com mission to examine Fox.
 The defense some weeks ago made detailed examination of Fox's san ity and intimations have been that their case will rest on plea of in- sanity.
 Judge Howard this afternoon, how ever, refused to sign the papers nec- essary for appointment of lunacy commission. He explained he would take no action until the defense had concurred in the proposal.
 Solicitor Boykin explained his Step was made to expedite matters and in order that If a plea of insanity Is presented at the trial there would be no need for the resultant delay of appointing a lunacy commission and awaiting its findings.

SLAYER OF TWO DIES OF BULLET WOUNDS
Shooting Follows AIterc .tion Over
 Cracked Ice

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-John Sheehy, who last night shot and killed two employees of the Rendezvous eafe be- cause of rotten service" and wounded a policeman and was himself shot in & pistol duel which followed, died in hospital here this after noon.
 Sheehy accompanied by two women, went to the cafe which was staging it's formal opening of a Japanese room whic hhad been outfitted at cost of $100,000, and which had drawn 100000 people for the open ing.
 During the evening he asked for cracked ice and when it was not brought immediately, went to the desk to make complaint and finally started after the ice himself. In an altercation with walters, he shot and killed Henry Bing, a bartender, and Leopold Guth, steward, then turned and exchanged shots with policemen until he had been wounded.

ALL REACTIONARIES JOIN IN REVOLUTION
American Author, Just Back From
 Mexico. Reveals Conditions

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.---A1l of the re- actionary elements in Mexico are be- hind the revolt of Adolfo re la Huerta in an attempt to "stab in the back the democratic advancement that has been made in the country under President Obregon, pr. Ernest Gruen- ing, well known author, who has just returned from seven months In Mexico, declared in an interview here today.
 Gruening is personally acquainted with all of the figures Involved In the latest uprising, having had ex- tended interviews with De la Huerta, P. Elias Gales, the leading presi- dential candidate. as well as Presi- dent Obregon.
 Ut is a revolution of reaction" he declared. President Obregon has ex- ercised every effort to see that the next election, when his successor will be chosen, should be an honest cleo tion. Gales was a member of the Obregon cabinet, but resigned before announcing his candidacy All of his friends holding government positions later also resigned at the suggestion of Obregon so that any suggestion of work from within the government in Gales behalf would be removed"
 Obregon, of course, can not sue ceed himself, as the constitution pro- vides for a single term Further, he does not want the presidency against him.
 Judging from the stories I have seen in American papers there would appear to be studied effort from sources to make Gales out danger ous bolshevik. Asa matter of fact, he merely stands for the democratic principles of. Obregon, whom this government has recognized. These are the same democratic principles we strive to maintain in this country. Guadalupe Sanchez, commander of the Vera Cruz district, whose troops appear to be De la Huerta's chief support, has been constant fomenter of trouble. He has the sup port of wealthy land owners and some oil interests and is representa- tive of the old reactionary clements"

 MARIE IS UNEASY
 Queen Marie of Rumania, maker ot kings and queens, and known as the royal grandmother of the Balkans, IS struggling to keep the Greek thro from collapse. She has appealed tc her powerful cousin, George of England and other potent sources in Europe to use their influence to keep her daughter, Elizabeth, and her son. in-law, George, in their royal seats at Athens until the Greeks are better fitted for self government. She be lieves the substitution of a republic for-t the present monarch, besides de- priving King George and Queen Eilz- abeth of their crowns, would introduce spirit of unrest In the Balkans which might extend to other thrones and lead to widespread revolt among the people. Queen Marie is noi, unmindful of the fact that her friends say her other daughter. Marie, mus be safeguarded in her queenship of Jugoslavia, and that her own royal position in Rumania must be made in vulnerable to any subversive influ- ence.
 Until the present republican leaders in Greece began to clamor for revival of the ancient Greek demo- cracy, the friends of Marie felt she had chosen wisely for her numerous children In the matter of European thrones or future thrones. Marie is said to have considered her remaining daughter, Ilyeana, for the throne of Bulgaria, but she wants to be more certain, her friends say that Boris kingship will more stable than it i: at present.
 Marie still has 2o-year- r-old Nicholas to marry off, but as crowns in Europe are getting scarcer and scarcer, she may have to consent tc Nicholas wedding one of the numer- ous non-reigning princesses who are scattered all over the old world wait ing for such golden opportunity.

W. 5. [EEDS, JR. TO LIVE IN AMERICA
Son Of Princess Anastasia, With Million To Spend,
 Finds Old World Irksome

LONDON, Dec. S.-(By Associated Press. )-William B. Leeds, Jr., who inherited a fortune from his late mother, Nthe Princess Anastasia, has decided to give up Europe as a place of abode and go to live in America. Although he has something like a million to spend, friends say he has found the life of the old world irk- some and dull.
 Despite the royal affiliations of his late mother and the fact that his wife is a princess, the young Ameri- can believes true happiness can only be found in the land of ones birth. He prefers democracy to the effete royal institutions of Europe and ac- cordingly he and his pretty 1S-year- old wife, Princess Xenia, will sail for America on December Is.
 MT. Leeds probably will purchase a mansion in Washington with part of the legacy left him by his mother. and will divide his time between the capital and New York. Later in the Season, he and Princess Xenia will be the guests of former Ambassador George Harvey on an excursion to Honolulu and other points.

 Seeks Profitable Investments.
 Young Leeds is seeking profitable investments In Amereica for the money his mother left him which sum- in addition to the interest on the S30,000,OO0 trust fund created by his father, comprises a legacy of s1,- 0,000 which he will receive at the age of 35.
 MT. Leeds stepfather, Prince Chris topher of Greece. is now in London adjusting the details of his share of Anastasia's estate. He will soon spend the remainder of his life. Prince Christopher has told friends he never intended to remarry, hav- ing given that pledge to his beloved Nancy" as he called Anastasia be- fore she died.
 Upon Christopher is likely to de- volve a large share of the burden of supporting the members of the Greek royal family who have vanished in Athens. The only member of the house having any considerable means is Queen Sofia, sister of the ex- kaiser. She is living in Bucharest with Queen Maria. Sofia inherited 100000 drachmae from the late King Constantine of Greece.
 RUSSIAN GRAIN CARGO DUE
 The steamer King Alfred is due in Hull tomorrow with the first boat load of Russian grain to reach this country since the war She will un- load 600 tons of wheat and 500 tons of barley. Two other cargoes to be delivered at Southampton and Man chester, will arrive later. The mar chants of Hull are enthusiastic over the re-establishment of their former trade relations with Russia. One op- timistic prediction there is that the thriving exchange of Russian food stuffs for British machinery and manufactured goods will reach the pre-war figure within a year.
