primitive languages, and especially
that OF the Maya. the resemblances
lose none of their fascination.
DR.. John p. Harrington, Iinguist of
the Smithsonian Institution, and r.
p. Vogenitz, chief translator of the
Post once Department, have been re-
ducing the language of Mr.. Marsh's
Indians to writing. Some of the SINH
larities they bought to attention were
striking.
For example, "arbaidi" means
work" in the Indian language; in
Morse 1t is "arbeide" The pronun-
citation is practically identical. The
Indian word for call" is "kale." and
the Morse Is "kalle." The Morse word
for plate" is almost like English
platte; the Indians drop one letter
and have pate" The Indian word
for color" Is ''parbatti;" Morse lisps
the "p" into ~" and the "b" into .'v,"
and has 'farvet." A widespread
Identity occurs in the word for
sack" The Indian word is "saki'
and the Morse is Sack; but this
word-form runs through many Euro
pean and Semitic languages, includ-
ing the Hebrew "saq" and Old Egyp-
tian "sok." For say" the two Ian
guages are again wholly Identical.

Indian word for tree" the Morse

tree, "sappe"; with which may be
compared the English word sap

For howl the Indians say 'ulue."
the Morse "hule" and the Germans
"heulen.' For know" the Indian
Morse 'vete." old English "witan" and
modern Englihs wit" For boat"
both Morse and Indian words are Gu
riously like howl: Indian is zulu"
Morse is "hulu" and modern English
supplies hull" The Indian word for
"cat" Is "misi"; both Morse and mod
ern German have it "mietze." For
ask" the Indian says "ekise" and the
Morse "eiska"; with these may be
compared the colloquial English ITO
axe" To drink. or 'quar." IN Indian
Indian is ''sige," In Morse "sidde."
The Latin language has "sede" and
French has Siege" Pig, or SWINE" /"
is Sine" to the Indians and swim" to
the Norsemen. For dig Compare
also "ditch") the Indian is "tige" and
the Morse Is "dige" To hide" is
"tukke" in Indian and "dukke" in
Morse. German "decken" and English
duck" and tuck are similar.
Similarity to Hebrew.
Foreign words of other derivation
are less numerous, but few surpris-
ing condolences turn UP. A Russian
Jew sat In at one OF the language
meetings, and nearly fell off his chair
when he heard one of the Indians, on
being asked for the translation of the
very important personal pronoun "I'
give, without hesitation, the Hebrew
word "ani," with exactly the same
sound and infection as that used by
the Jews!
Then there is French. When one of
the two White Indian boys bids the
other to blow hard" he applies to
his nose what he calls a "mushwe."
Compare this with "mouchoir." which
is French for "handk erchief"

Mrs. Stillwell, who is said to be in
a critical condition, did not disclose
who "he" was. She told her husband
who is a compositor on newspaper
here, that she and her mother had
left their home in Eatontown in the
latter's car for Asbury Park. On the
road, Mrs. Stillweil related, they met
Herry, who invited her to ride
in his automobile. With the consent
of her mother, she said, she accept

Mrs. Stillwell stated that Herry
persuaded her to drink a bottle OF
wine he had in the car and there

Herry was shot through the neck, and
the police say the weapon was fired
at extremely close range.

HOUSE MEMBER URGES
U. S. IN WORLD COURT
Greene Also Asks Disarmament
That Does Not Lay Country
Open to Danger.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. December 1s.AA
disarmament which does not lay the
country open to danger, arbitration
treaties and the World Court, was
advocated by Representative William
r. Greene, chairman of the House
ways and means committee, in an ad-
dress last night at the annual dinner
OF the New Jersey Society of Penn
sylvania.
Mr.. Greene said that huge appro-
priations for the Navy were unwise
and tax-burdening. He declared that
reports of naval activities of other
countries were frequently In error
and that the United States has five
ships which outrange anything Dos
sessed by Great Britain. He added
that the proposed Navy program
would cost one and one-half billion
dollars, and that President Coolidge
should be commended for his stand
against this expenditure.

WINS TAX REDUCTION.
Restaurant Upheld in Plea That
Lease Value Drops.

CHICAGO, December 19.-What was
considered an important decision
bearing upon the income tax laws
was handed down yesterday by Fed
eral Judge Samuel C. Alschuler. The
Phillip Henrici Restaurant Co. had
sued to recover $4,000 in taxes, con-
tending that inasmuch as the prop
erty on which 1t was operating was
leased, and as the value of the lease
decreased each year, this decrease
should be added to the cost of operat-
ing the business, thereby reducing the
amount of income tax to be paid. The
court ruled in favor of the restaurant
company.

SCIENTISTS FIND MUCH INTEREST
IN LANGUAGE OF WHITE INDIANS
Similarity of Expression of Central american Tribes
With Those OF Morse People Is
Found Striking.

Despite the open statements of
some leading biologists that the light
complexion of the much discussed
white Indians" brought here from
central America by Richard Ogles-
oy Marsh is due to albinism, the
Panaman aborigines are proving none
the less interesting to many scientists
Even though the Indians are al
binos. a condition that Is peculiarly
prevalent among people OF the red
race prominent scientists point out
there are certain biological and
pathological conditions attached to
them that make them more or less
or an enigma to science, It is ex-
planned.
Mr.. Marsh continues to maintain
his Indians in their home at $500
connecticut avenue, as he has done
since he arrived in Washington with
them. He has satisfactorily ex-
planned to his friends the embarass-
ment of his arrest last Monday on a
charge of giving the Willard Hotel
check that was not covered by
sufficient funds, and almost every day
the Indians are studied and examined
by experts from some branch of the
sciences.

Canadian Officials
Hush Up Murder Case
of Scotch Nursemaid

Federated Press STAFF Correspondent
VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 1.-THE
death of the Scotch nursemaid, one OF
the salvation army's cheap domestic
immigrants brought to Canada, is still
unsolved and her murderer is at
large. Those who have followed the
case assert that pressure Of the
wealthy people implicated in the case
prevents the arrest Of the murderer.
She was found dead in the rich home
where she was employed after a party.
The papers have stopped making re-
ferences to the case and the police
have dropped it tho a number of i'm
portant clues were offered.
People who have expressed opin-
ions as to the real criminals have been
warned and the editors of the Labor
Statesman and the Saturday Tribune,
weekly papers, were threatened with
arrest If they persisted in demanding
thoro investigation of the case.
The salvation army, which brought
the girl to this country. has taken no
interest In the case beyond seeing to
1t that the army was refunded the
passage money advanced to the girl.

PLANS FIGHT ON
CUT IN WAGES
Also Urge Struggle for
48-HOur Law
10y The Federated PrsssY

MANCHESTER, N. H., Dec. 2.
The United Textile Workers
will take action against the ten
per cent wage cut put thru with
the consent of the company
union here and will start the
fight for the enactment of a 4S-
hour law in New Hampshire.
This announcement was made by
the local textile council, following
communication from President
Thomas f. Mcmahon Of the United
Textile Workers. stating that Organ.
izer Horace "A. Riviere is on his way
to start the fight.
War on the speed-up system, giving
more looms to the already burdened
weaver, has been declared. The union
believes that reduction of looms per
operative to reasonable basis, there.
by reducing unemployment and safe
guarding the health Of the workers, is
a necessary change that compares in
importance with the restoration of
the wage scale.
