COLON, Canal Zone, June 14.-The
Marsh Darien expedition has discov-
cred white Indians and will sail for
New York in three weeks with the
Indians.
This message was received here to-
day from Richard o. Marsh, leader Of
the expedition into the previously un-
anna, which already has cost the lives
of two members of the exploring
party. Marsh's message said:
The white Indians i am bringing
with the King of the Darien are a
boy of nineteen and a girl of twenty
one. They are golden haired, blue
eyed and white-skinned. Their bod
les are covered with long. downy
white hair. They are not the stand
ard Albino type, but look like very
primitive Nordic whites. We have
discovered many strange, primitive
white Indians with evidence of a very
ancient civilization. We have Sc
cured a large chronological collection
and fine moving pictures"
In addition to Marsh, who is civil
engineer and explorer. the party
which sailed from New York January
Is, included Prof. John L. Baer
enthnologist and anthropologist of
the Smithsonian Institution and also
of the faculty of George Washington
University; DR.. II. l.. Fairchild, geol-
ogist of the University of Rochester.
and DR.. Charles BREEDER, ichthyologist
of the American Museum OF Natural
History in New York.

Golden-Haired, BIue-Eyed Indians
With White Skins Found in Durien

The explorers met hardshipS and
dangers from the beginning, enter
ing the jungle from the Atlantic side
along the Chucunaque River. About
two months ago a young attache of
the Panamanian government, who
was assigned to the expedition, sue
cumbed to exposure and disease, and
two weeks ago Prof. Baer died of
chagres fever.
Many attempts have been made to
penetrate the savage Darien region,
since the occupancy of the Spaniards
early in the sixteenth century, but
all previous efforts have failed. The
Indians were treated so cruelty by
the Spaniards that they swore eter-
nal enmlty to the white man, and all
who ventured up the Rio Darien ON
the west or the Chucunaque on the
east have been killed. A determined
EFFORT was made by the Germans in
the spring of 1908 with the Won
Tueber expedition. Only one-half
crazed man, who left the party be-
fore they reached the country of the
Darien Indians, returned.
Before entering the Darien, mem
bers of the expedition predicted that
If the white Indians were found the
discovery would be among the most
important of modern times in it's
bearing on anthropological research
into origin of American racial cul-
lures, which may profoundly affect
scientific conclusions as to the origin
and spread of human races.

LAYS TURRET BLAST
TO LOW AIR PRESSURE
Sailor, Survivor of Explosion That
Killed 48 on q. S. S. Mississippi,
Describes bareback.
MAY MEAN WIDE INQUIRY
Other Ships of Fleet May Have
Similar Defect.
BY the Associated Press.


SAN PEDRO, June 14-Lack of
sufficient air pressure to clean out the
great 14inch gun barrels in turret
No. 2 of the battleship Mississippi
was the first evidential clue offered
today to the board of inquiry investi-
eating the cause of Thursdays dis
aster which cost forty eight lives.
So low was the air pressure in the
apparatus that blows out the rife
barrels and closes the breaches. that
the latter had to be showed home by
hand after the second saIvo, accord
ing to testimony of Francis Majeswki
plugrnan, whose duty it was to close
the breach. He was one of three
sailors who escaped uninjured from
the turret that became the tomb of
his mates.
Naval experts pointed out that lack
of thorough cleansing of the gun
barrels of fumes and gas after each
discharge heightened the danger of
ignition of powder left in the barrel
or of any fresh charge that might
be rammed in.
The plugman's testimony, said
naval officers, il substantiated might
result in a f1eet-wide investigation of
every big gun to determine whether
a similar defect existed on other
ships of the Navy.

Members OF Court Silent.

Members of the court of inquiry,
however, refused to comment on the
evidence, reserving their statements
for their final reports.
The investigation will be continued
Monday and there is a general air of
expectancy throughout the fleet, the
prevailing belief being that the line
of evidence offered by Majeswikf will
be emphasized in the examination of
other witnesses in an effort to fix
definitely the cause of the explosion.
The man who is believed to know
most about what occurred in the
fatal moment within the ships turret
is lying aboard the hospital ship Re
