SCIENTISTS DENY WHITE INDIANS
 ARE ALBINOS
May Be Cases Of Endc erin Deficiency, Is
 Decision

(Copyright, 1924, by North American Newspaper Alliance For The Age-Her- ald.)
 NEW YORK, July 9.-The White Indians" brought to New York by the Marsh-D -Darien expedition are not Albi- nos. This was the unanimous verdict of group of anthropologists who ex- amined the Indians last night at din ner at a New York hotel.
 After extended consultation and a minute study of the three White In- dians the scientists agreed to the fol- lowing summary of their conclusions:
 We believe this phenomenon to be pathological. These are not cases of Albinism. It is possible that they are cases of endocrin deficiency or glandu- lar alteration of some kind. We are convinced that they are not Albinos. They constitute an important discov- cry of the utmost interest in its bear ing On the subject of tropical medicine. A final determination would require an extended knowledge of the heredity of these people,"
 Among the scientists who partici- pated in the examination were Dr. Bru- no Oetteking of the Museum of the American Indian, Dr. Truman Michel son of the Chair of Anthropology of

Could Not Have Lost To Better Man, Says
 Senator

He called them all by name, and to each had something pleasant to say.
 He was not faEed in the slightest, although, naturally, he was disappoint- ed. He gave his su~,essful rival, Davis, q full measur of praisea When, final ly, he was separated from the crowd, he declined to talk of the cause or or why, in his opinion, the south did not, come to his assistance. He did say, however, he had, one course to pursue, in his opinion, and he had no regret in having pursued it. He had reference, obviously, to his course against the Ku Klu Klan."
 Z "Should Ee Elec:edr
 Davis should be elected" he said. ''He is equipped by his life in Con- gress, his service as ambassador to Great Britain, his career as an emi- nent lawyer, and by natural gifts of heart and brain to make a splendid executive. have warmly, congratu- lated him and will do all I can to aid in securing his election"
 Senator Underwood had nothing to say regarding his plans for the fu- ture. There has been report, wide ly circulated, that he would not again stand for the Senate on the compile ton, March 4, 1927, of his present term. He has neither confirmed nor denied the report.

Columbia university, Dr. Cuthbers Christy, F. R. S., Dr. Cary Akely and Dr. J. Harley Stamp. Dr. Hooton of Harvard university attended, but was compelled to leave before the close ex- animation of the Indians took place. He said they were an interesting pheno- menon and worthy of the closest scien- tific examination.
 Richard O. Marsh, leader of the party which brought the Indians from Darien, described the expedition in de- tail and put forth his theory that the Indians were off-shoots of ancient paleolithic stock. This theory the scientists decided to be untenable.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 9.-"John ". Davis, I know him intimately. I served in the House with him. He was the best lawyer in the House. A line fellow, a great legislator.
 T have offered him my sincere con gratulations. I could not have lost to a better man. am entirely satisfied. Of course, I will give him loyal sup port. And he will be elected to make as great a President as we have had in many years"
 The speaker was Oscar Underwood of Alabama, runner-up in the contest today in Madison Square Garden which brought to a conclusion, with the nonii- nation of Day ,, the most gruelling struggle in he history of American politics.

 The convention was late getting started. Senator Ralston failed to send in his daily withdrawal on time and tho chairman didn't want to go ahead without it.
 Later in the day, Mir. Ralston ex1 plained that when he withdrew his name again yesterday, he understood it was from consideration in the 1928 campaign.
 The convention began the d. 7 in a greatly improved condition due to the severe but long-delayed operation per formed upon it during the night by which it had its vermiform McAdoo removed.

 Told To Obey
 But Brandon and Johnston took the position that the delegation had given it's instruction, that the instructions were in accord with the wishes of Sena- tor Underwood, and that Mir. Thompson should obey the instructions.
 And now it is the opinion of a ma jority of the members that Senator Un- derwood's cause would have fared bet ter had he been satisfied with. the ma jority report in which the constitutional principle of freedom of speech, press and worship was reiterated. They con- tend that had he not proceeded directly and specifically against the klan in spirit of determined aggression, the south, when need to nominate him, would have acceded to his wishes. As it was, when Underwood called today to Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Mississip- pig Oklahoma and Kentucky, he called in vain.

DEMOCRATIC INTE ERMENT CAMP, NEW YORK, July 9.-Some- thing went radically wrong with the' democratic national convention here between 2 80 and 3 pm. this after noon. It forgot the fact it had dedi- cated itself to the purpose of not nam- ing a candidate for the presidenc.- of the United States. Be'nre anything could be done about it, it had nomi- mated.
 It may have been the heat or it may have been the humidity, at any rate with very little warning the HOO men, women and alternates who had stead lastly refused to agree on anybody or anything in Madison Square Gar den for almost its entire summer sea son of 1924 suddenly began agreeing on John W. Davis.
 The process of agreeing was so swift and sharp that any number of delegates suffered severe sprains of their inclinations, fractures of their resolutions, concussions of their ami mosities and dislocations of their in- structions in the crush.
 
 At 3 :27 o'clock, John W. Davis was proclaimed the candidate of the demo- cratic party for president by acclama- tion. Smith and McAdoo had sudden ly becom. not only dark horses but dead horses. A motion to have them stuffed, mounted and put in the mu- scum with the rest of the national war relics would have been unani- mOusly carried.
 Among those not celebrating was William Jennings Bryan. Davis was not on Williams list >of recommended and certified products. Nobody seemed to care.
 It took one hundred and three bal lots to put up a democratic candidate for the presidency. It will only take one next November 10 determine whether the country will take him or leave him.
 For a time there was some confu- sion as to what Davis had been nomi- mated. The convention Lad been in session so long that some people thought it might be Jeff Davis.
 
 Senator Walsh would have been nominated for the vice presidency five minutes later by exclamation had he so desired. The delegates were on their toes to a man shouting, Walsh sfor vice president" But the senator fig ured he had suffered enough at this convention without having that posi- tion wished upon him and he declared the meeting adjourned until evening. If Walsh gets the vice presidency, no pint of oil will be issued to anybody in America withouta doctors prescrip- tion.
 And the doctor will have to be good democrat.

for ten days or more. When officers
went into the cabin they found trap

a charge of insanity, but was released.
When found the body had over $1,000

ARCO.-About 40 miles south of

was made national monument by &C.
ton of President Coolidge. It's name
was given to the place because Its
weird lava formations bear marked
res mblance to the moon as seen
through a telescope. This area, count
less ages ago must have been the
scene of great volcanic activity. 1t
is surrounded by timber land which
abounds with wild animals. In this re-
gion is an immense underground cav
ern, followed out by seething flow
OF molten lava, down which automo-
b1les can be driven for quite dis
lance. Other caverns glow with phos-
phorescent tints of volcanic ash.
There are no rattlesnakes or other
reptiles in the district, which is not
far from the beaten paths of tourist

Metric System Urged
For World Measuring

The employment of the meter and
other metric measurements in the
Olympic games tryouts throughout
the United States is attracting pub
lie attention to these simple decimal
standards. AS the only world sys-
tenn, the metric weights and measures
are ideal competition.
The meter Gotten called the world
yard") is about 10 per cent more than
the old yard. Thus the 200-meter
dash is about the same as the 200
yards; the 400 meters is the 440 yards
and the 800 meters represents the
S80-yard run, or half mile. Running
races, walks, jumps, weight events,
swimming contests and yacht races
are being regulated by the world met
rio measurements.
Standardization Of athletic records
is urged by many athletic experts as
a reason for even more general adop-
ton of the world system. AS James
q. Sullivan wrote when secretary OF
the Amateur Union of the United
States: with the general use OF the
metric system in the sphere of ath-
letics, we could at last have uniform
measurements and standard records

word. am firm believer in the uni

Teaching as a Profession

OF the 1000 or more teachers in
Idaho, more than 60 per cent of them
are in what may properly be termed
rural schools. The compulsory school
law is enforced in the rural school
just as in the city school. The re-
CURED number of months of school APP
plies to the rural as we'll as the city.
The salaries in the rural school are
better perhaps on an average than in
the city.
In the Lewiston Normal this year
So one-year people received training
in the rural centers and 40 seniors
making total of 1876 people trained
in the rural centers. Most of the
seniors had schools before the normal
closed and perhaps rs per cent of the
one-year people. How many others
had schools are not known, but the
salaries paid are a strong inducement
to secure teachers, and for this reason
1t Is safe to say a large percentage Of
normal rural trained teachers have
positions
