Relatives in Washington could
offer no explanation. They scout
the theory that he committed sui

enemies upon whom suspicion
might fall. \

The Baltimore authorities are
working on the belief that the old
man was murdered. No pistol was
found near the body. Only one
bullet had been used. entering the
right temple and emerging on the
left side. The coroner refused to
issue q verdict until the police have

Prehistoric Man in
Asia 100000 Years Ago

The evidence of prehistoric man in
northern Asia so far obtained by the
Roy Chapman Andrews expedition con-
slsts Of a collection of flints which is
now on its way TO America.
1T has not been established how old
they are, but from report I have re
ceived from our paleontologist l am of
the opinion that they are about half
million years old, or about the same
age as the Pithecanthropus Erectus,"
Mr.. Andrews said in a recent visit 80.
Columbus, O., according to the Ohio
State Journal. "They are highly i'm
portant to science, no matter how old
they are, because they constitute the
first evidence of the existence of pri-
meval man in that portion of the
world"
The expedition, conducted under the
auspices of the American Museum of
Natural History, Asia Magazine and a
group of New York philanthropists, has
produced more than ten thousand fish,
reptiles and batrachlans, some fifty
cases of fossils and about two thou
sand mammals, including fossilized
skull of a baluchitherium, sort--of
glorified rhinoceros, the largest mann
NAL that ever roamed the earth.
