!. !. Successful !.
Development i:
Means Remarkable
Increase In Value

In the past three or four years !
have "put over" several suburban
properties, notably Virginia High
lands, George Washington Park,
ETC., and each one has been a phe-
nomenal success, property values
having more than doubled. What
was formerly a barren waste of
ground has now been built up into
communities Of satisfied and happy
home-owners. And every lot buyer
has seen his investment double and
treble in value.
The dominant idea that has made
for success in all Of the properties
have handled and the one that is
exemplifed in SUMMIT PARK is
that the interest Of the buyer is
paramount. / have exercised dis
eliminating care that the prop
critics handled by me must measure
up to the following requirements:
They must be in the wake Of de-
velopment in order that the increase
in value will be certain and rapid:
they must be in desirable neigh
borhood; must be reached by paved
streets; must be high and cool; and,
most important of all, they must
be had at a figure that win enable
me to sell them at a price that
will at once insure the purchaser
secure investment as well as a
home site.
In offering SUMMIT PARK I
can say without hesitation that it
is unquestionably the best property
have ever handled. AS a. home
site it is unsurpassed; as an in
vestment there, is nothing better.

EXPLAINS COOLIDGE
ATTITUDE ON KLAN
Pepper Says Executives
Duty Is to Enforce Law,
Not Denounce Groups.
By the Associated Press.


PRINCETON, N. j., November l.
Senator George Wharton Pepper of
Pennsylvania. addressing the under
graduates of Princeton University
here last night. in referring to Presi-'
dent Coolidge and the Ku Klux Klan,
said:
Mr.. Coolidge is the Chief Execu-
tive. His function is not to denounce
citizens or groups of citizens, but to
enforce the law. A Chief Executive
who undertook to issue manifestoes
In condemnation of any group of citi-
zens beforej they have broken the law
would himself be lawbreaker.
If he failed to inf1ict punishment
when the law was violated, he would
be false to his oath of office. Don't
worry about the Presidents deter
mination to enforce the law"
The speaker had not intended to
deal with that question when he came
here, but during the meeting mem
bers of the University John w. Davis
Club sent to the platform the follow
ing written question and asked that
it be answered:
Mr.. Coolidge has continually as
serted that the Constitution is the
supreme issue of the campaign and he
has upheld its principles in PRACTICAL
" all his speeches. The Ku Klux
klan exists in certain portions of the
country in open and avowed violation
Of the Constitution. Why has Mr..
Coolidge failed to condemn the
greatest enemy of his supreme is
sue?"

SAN MARCOS, Tex, November T.
Awaiting the birth of child and
faced with charges of poisoning her
four stepcvhildren and the attempt
ed poisoning of her husband, Mrs
Annie HauDtrief ended her life in the
Hays County Jail here Thursday
night.
The body was found this morning
| suspended by a narrow waistband
from the door of her cell.
Mrs. Hauptrief tied the band
around her throat and lifted her feet
from the floor. causing strangulation.
according to Sheriff George NJ. Allen.
She could have saved her life by low
ering her feet, he said
Before hanging herself Mrs. Haupt-
rief packed her clothing and personal
belongings in a small handbag and
dressed herself carefully. A note
found on her bed, addressed to mem
bers of her family. asked that her
husband and 1-year-old baby be
treated kindly
A coroner's jury returned a verdict
of suicide.
Mrs. Hauptrief had been in Jail
here during the past five months. Her
trial on charges of numbering her
stepchildren was set for early this
month, but was put over until Feb
ruary in anticipation of her mothe,,
hood
She was arrested following the
sudden illness of her husband, who
recovered. Her four stepchildren

DR.. Hrdlicka spoke briefly of the

Next Friday he will consider the pres
ent state of knowledge of the actual
descent and development OF man from
the earliest re-human skeletons which

He has made recent inspection Of the
skeletons and the sites where they were
discovered and Is in possession of a
considerable body of new evidence which
goes far beyond that possessed by Dar-
win and his immediate followers when
they stated their theory of the descent
Of man.
DR.. Hrdlickas purpose in presenting
the evidence just as 1t stands today Is in
no sense controversial, but merely to
give the educated public all the data
available from the standpoint Of evolu
tionists. In theological and other con-
troversies over the origin and descent
of man there have been loose statements
on both sides, due largely to lack of in
formation on the knowledge which has
been added to the sum total since the
formulation of the evolutionary theory
and which here is being presented as
whole perhaps for the first time in this
country.

tinue at least uElit New, l.al. - A.. e

Starving CREW
| GIVE UP RUM SHIP
Appeal to Captain of Coast
/ Guard Boat to Take
| Them in Tow.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
{ NEW YORK November -Four
Starving sailors, who said they had
been shanghaied into the Rum Row
fervice, compelled a reluctant skip
per to surrender to the Coast Guard
gutter Gresham yesterday, the natty
two-master Dorothy NJ. Smart Of
Newfoundland and her cargo of
brandy.
Michael Gillian of Halifax was the
skipper. His crew was Louis Cocci-
nj, mate, and Albert Edouard Birgo-
master, cook, both of New York
Henry A. Gillis of Perth Amboy. N.
J.. and Carl Jaeger of Boston, seamen.
Scouting between the rum fleet and
shore, the Greshams searchlights
picked out the glimmering toplights
of a craft that seemed abandoned.
Her decks were deserted; her anchor
chain slapped against the pitching
bows; her rudder swung at the will
of the waves; her masts were bare of
sails.
Distress Sign Displayed.
I A British ensign hung upside down
from a lanyard-the signal of dis
tress Under it were strung corrobo-
rative signs-shirts and blankets
shredded and frayed.
= The Gresham hailed the little two
master and four despairing sailors
were arrested. They announced that
they were prisoners aboard: that
they had been without food and wa
ter for seven days: that their skipper
refused to put them ashore. They
pleaded to. Capt. Ben Brockaway of
the Gresham to heave them a line,
tow them inside the three limit,
take possession of the Dorothy NJ.
Smart and feed and water her crew.
!, Capt. Brockaway consented to tow
the craft, and thus the cutter and its
prize arrived at the Battery, where it
was boarded by agents of the De-
partment of Justice, who seized the
20 barrels of brandy in the vessels
hold and began an investigation of
the shanghai story.
Il, I'VE shipped out of New York "a
days ago." was Mate Coccini's tale.
III Refused to Help.
j; I'VE were told we were rigged up
for the brick-carrier enterprise, sail
ing between New York and Cape May.
Ehey took us out at night, in a speed
boat, and when we woke up next
morning we were on the Dorothy NJ
Smart, surrounded by casks Of rum
Ordered to hoist sail for a voyage
to Halifax. the sailors countered with
a demand that they be set ashore at
once, they said. The skipper refused
and so they drifted about for % days
with sails furlcd. The anchor was
lost, and week ago the food and
water ran out and distress signals
were run up. The sailors said they
might have taken command of the
craft and sailed her into port, but the
skipper warned them that that would
be mutiny and piracy, so they watch
ed and drifted until at last the Gresh-
am came to the rescue.
Capt. Gillian declared he knew moth
ing of the shanghaiing or how his
crew got aboard. All he would tell
was that he came from Newfoundland,
found the two-master on Rum Row,
apparently a derelict, and took COM
mand of her.

tual food after 1t has been prepared
in the laboratory OF the stomach are
the same. DR.. Hrdlicka said. Sleep,
with it's deep-seated organic and
chemical bases. shows an exact COM
parison in man and mammal, he
pointed out.
DR.. Hrdlicka then dwelt on the hu.
man mind as the point where the
greatest distinctions have been claim
ed and pointed out that a careful
analysis shows a difference only in
degree between the mental processes
Of civilized man and those Of lower
animals. He said there was not a sim
gle function of the human mind which
was not reproduced somewhere in the
animal world.
The function Of memory. for in
stance. he said, was present every
where and probably had reached
greater strength in some animals
than in man. Instincts are present in
man as well as in animals. he claim
ed. pointing to the example Of a man
who has lost his power to suppress
the manifestations Of these through
drugs or liquor. In such a man, he
said, non-human. animallike mani
festations are common and expected.
Both animals and man, he pointed
out, share the power of association
of ideas. Thus an animal often shows
remarkable capacity for associating
the ideas Of reward and punishment
with some particular act.
Phenoaena Of Thought.
The phenomena of thought, Dr.
Hrdlicka said, apparently presented
another problem until analyzed. when
animals were shown to possess it. For
the most part unable to think in
w0fds, lower animals are able, never
theless, to think in images. This is
proven, he said. by the fact that they
dream and without some degree OF
thought dreams are impossible.
Not speech itself, but only or
ganized speech is peculiar to man.
he said. Many animals, he claimed.
convey definite meanings by making
definite sounds-sometimes even COM
pound sounds. Occasionally these
are developed to a stage where they
can be understood by humans-thus
some masters might be able to in
terpret correctly what a dog was
definite, unmistakable and continu-
Gus manner.
He told Of the experience of a
friend who spent years studying the
chimpanzees in Africa. This friend
informed him. he said. that he had
definitely made up his mind that
chimpanzees could not conduct an
organized conversation among them
selves. but that they did have seven
or eight distinct. compound sounds,
each of which had a very definite
meaning.
DR.. Hrdlicka then mentioned the
following attributes Of the human
mind as generally considered not rep
resented among the lower animals:
Ambition, ideals. inspiration, or
ganfzed speech. reasoning power and
imagination. Yet, he said, every one
OF these occurs somewhere in the an
fmal world, particularly in such crea-
lures as dogs or horses, which often
