CHIMPANZEES TO WINTER
IN NEW ENGLAND AS TEST
tropical Creatures to Be Studied
at Yale as Parallels to Human
Analysis,

our chimpanzees, creatures of
the tropics. will try wintering in
chilly New England this year, so that
psychologists can make observations
on their behavior
Inc tour chimps, ranging in age
from l to years, are the guests
OF DIR. r. NJ. Yerkes of the Institute
OF psychology at Yale University
lr. 1erkes has studied chimpanzees
Tor several years in Cuba and Wash
inSton, but, with the exception of ex-
perlmentS with one chimpanZee in
Moscow, no one has ever before tried
to take these heat-loving animals to
cold climate for study. The Yale
psychologists are giving special at
teption to housing and diet. OF the
apes, so as to take no chances of en-
dangering their health and comfort.
DIR. Yerkes has found that chin
panZees make especially good sub,
1ects for scientific study because their
behavior is more like that of children
than like behavior of other animals.
BY studying these almost human be
lngs day after day, and putting them
to ingenious tests, psychologists are
learning much regarding their ways
or learning, their mental processes
and their means of communication.
Human beings cannot be used for
such constant study, but scientists
who are working with apes say that
sooner or later some parallel expert.
ments will be given to chimpanzees
and children of different ages, and
gradually scientists will learn the
points of difference and likeness be-
tween the higher apes and man.

RELATIVES QU|zzED
IN. HUNTING DURK|N
Chicago Police Doubt Death
of Gunman, Who Wrote
Suicide Message.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. November 14.-Con-
vinced that relatives of Martin Durkin.
gunman and former convict, know
much about his whereabouts, the po-
lice today called all his kin to the de-
tective bureau in an attempt to CLEAN
some information.
They We're summoned after the dis
closure that the alleged slayer OF
Edward Shanshan, Government agent
had actually written a suicide note
found, with a bullet pierced coat pur-
porting to be his, at the Michigan
avenue bridge over the Chicago River,
and that the note and clothing had
been placed there by Mrs. Hattie
Galow, Durkin's cousin.
A chauffeur said he saw Mrs. Galow,
a New York actress, place the coat
by the bridge, but when Durkin's s
relatives were summoned. they dis
counted the drivers story. All the
relatives expressed belief Durkin had
written the note. which was addressed
to his mother, Mrs. Hattie Durkin.
Chief of Detectives Shoemaker con-
Cured. He and other police officers
still. were unwilling to believe Durkin
had jumped into the river, MS ue-
clared intention in the letter.
1t was considered significant that
Mrs. Betty Werner, Durkin's sweet
heart. disappeared yesterday, two days
after she was released by the police,
and has not since been seen.
The Notre Railroad of Spain has
borrowed 100000 from the Spanish
