FEAR NEW GANG WAR
New York Police Worried Lest Shooting of Gangstcr Will Lead
 To New Rcprisals

New York, Sept. 22,--Police fear ed renewal of an East Side gang war tonight in the killing of Harry MarkS IS, one Of the followers of Little Augie," an enemy of Kid Dropper," who was killed last spring as he emerged from courtroom.
 Marks, who was known to the police as Kid Portchester," was at liberty in $10,O00 bail in connection with the staying of Robert Simon of Brooklyn, last June. The shot which killed simon was intended for some- one else, the police said at the time.
 An unsuccessful attempt was made to kill Marks, two hours before three bullets pierced his body as he stood in front of a barber shop in the lower East Side. He died before reaching hospital.
 Police expressed the opinion that Little Augie" was not implicated in the shooting, but they fear that he may have lost control of some of the members of his gang. It was believed at the time Kid Dropper" was killed that the trouble between the two rival gangs of the East Side would subside, but with last nights shooting they fear renewal of the feud, which already has taken a toll of several lives,

PREDICTS LIVING
 THOUSAND YEARS
Scientist ForSeeS New Race Of
 Supermen

Philadelphia, Sept. 22. - Prof Fritz Haber. eminent German scien. tist, who has been in this city at. tending the centenary celebration of the Franklin Institute, last night predicted that science would. bring forth discoveries that would produce a race of supermen, who may ex- pect to live as long as 1000 years, through elimination of the causes of natural death.
 He declared, however, that science would never be able to create hfe itself. N,
 Pointing to insulin, which he said was aiding the medical profession to fight diabetes, as the first step and as a concrete example that the prin- ciple and formula pn which the scientists were working to prolong life fundamentally sound,' Prof. Ha- Der asserted that this prolongation would come through a method of purifying all the various types of enzyms in the body. Insulin, he said. was the puritication of one type of enzym, the organic or chemical duty of which was to split the mon- osaccharids in the human system. The various types of .enzyms, he added, made the human system per- form its functions and it was when these become decomposed or break down that death from old age re- suits.
 Prot Haber said that the scien- lists who are doing research work in an effort to produce a discovery to prolong life. began with the theory, after the discovery of in- sulin, that all types of enzyms could be purified and made to function properly. When this discovery was made, he declared, science would have to create new forms of food to provide for the increased population. The husks of corn, barks of trees and an endless number of other things, he said, would have to be utilized for human consumption.

Dewey said the treas ury must have the full cooperation of all He told the investment bankers that any effort to interfere seriously with the present wide market for government securities would upset the plan, and he urged them to aid in combating any movement that would result in the trading off by their holders of the government securities,
 Pointing out that the government has had to pay approximately one billion dollars a year--almost one- fourth of Its entire expendlture-,-in interest on its public debt, the as- sistant secretary declared that out lay must be reduced if material re- duction is to be an accomplished fact.
 'lt Is with view to this si.ua- tion," he said, that the treasury has mapped out a program looking to the ultimate retirement of the public debt in about 25 years. Through the use of the sinking fund and other known sources of revenues, this can be accomplished provided we maintain the popular

 But 1t Is absolutely necessary II this program Is to be successfully carried out, that the government should be able to sell its securities at low rate of interest and con- duct its vast refundlng operations under favorable circumstances without undue disturbance of mar ket conditions. It will seriously interfere with this program If a successful effort is made to dis lodge government securities from the hands of their present holders" |"
 Mr, Dewey said that inasmuch as about eight billion dollars in gov- ernment securities mature during the next four years, practically 75 per cent of which will have 10 be re- funded, the treasury will continue 10 be involved for some years in the later phases of wartime financing. The effect of any movement to divert government bond holdings to indus- trial investment, he warned bankers, would be to force down the quota- ton of government securities and compel the treasury--and the tax payers--to jay a higher rate of in- te->st on its new issues,

Dew ey said that in many cases the con- fIdence of investors would be i'm paired through highly speculative in- yestments which might not yield re- turns.

Nordio Race k Rapidly
Disappearing In Europe

A shifting Of peoples has been go
ing on in Europe for generations, and
since medieval times the lower classes
and races have expanded at the ex-
pense Of the upper classes, so that
many countries which formerly had
large Nordic populations, such as
Spain and Italy and the provinces Of
the old Austrian empire. are almost
stripped o3 their Nordlc blood. France,
which all through medieval times
down 70 within century ago was
very Nordic, has reached a point
where the Nordic population has
shrunk to hopeless minority In the
nation. Germany Is feeling the re-
placement Of Nordic by alpine blood
very severely, and many Of her fore
most thinkers regard her as almost
lost to the Nordic race. The great
French anthropologist, De Lapouge,
stated In conversation with the writer
that Germany Of today is not nearly
so Nordic as France was at the time
Of the religious wars. The case of
England, still overwhelmingly Nordic,
is also serious one, because the In

In other European countries) has led
to great expansion Of the non-Nor-

Natives Have Wonderful
System of Storing Water

There are many ways of storing wa
.er, but the natural cistern of the ma
lives Of Darfur twest Of the Soudan)
seems to be the most wonderful.
But for the tebeldy tree, Darfurites
would perish from drought. These
great trees grow In honows, in which
the rain collects during the wet sea-
son. which lasts all through July and
August.
The enormous trunks are hollow. AS
soon as the rain begins the natives
gather up the water in leather bags.
An expert climber goes up the tree
with a rope to which Is attached the
precious bag; he hauls it up with care,
and enpties the water into the hollow
trunk. The hollowness Is not the re-
suit of age or disease, and the sur
rounding wood Is absolutely water
tight.
Each little group Of "tukls' (huts)
possesses its own trees. And on their
contents the people live throughout
the ten dry months.
The tebeldy tree Is fruitful source
OF trouble. Many tribal fights are
waged solely because a man from one
village Is believed to have been seen
climbing the trees Of another. The
trees belonging to a village, or group
OF "tukls," are not public property for
the jewellers In that group. The sheik
and his family have the first claim on
the water, and their share is claimed
to decimal point. Another man may
have a family claim, going back
through several generations, to a GER
tain proportion.
