Northern India's
Natives Are White.
DR.. HrdIickd Says
Scientist at Sin,la Finds
Traces Kinship to Ham,
tito Races Of Africa.

The people of Northern India are
members Of the white race. mainly
Mediterranean and Semitic but with
curious intermiXture of a Hamitic
strain. DIR. Ales Hrdlicka has written
to the Smithsonian Institution from
Simla, India.
DR.. Hrdlicka is examining the evil
dence dealing with the origins of man
in the East. There will be some very
interesting results. he writes.
The Hamitic blood which he has
found in the population is believed
to be the same as that OF the white
races of Northern Africa and Abys-
sinia and opens up speculation as TO
as well as South.
On the other hand DIR. HrdliCka has
determined that India has no original
negroid population. Curly-haired
people reported near Karachi, he has
found. We're imported from Africa in
historic times. If there are any such
natives, he holds, they must be some
where near the head of the gulf of
Persia, where 1t Is impracticable to go.
AT Simla," writes DR.. Hrdlicka, Il
have seen quite a few people from
the Tibetan border and even a few
Tibetans. Among the latter was a
woman who looked a typical Ameri-
can Indian. Even in her dress there
was much to strongly suggest our
Indians"
DR.. Hrdlicka expects to be in the
field about six months.

REGARDS AIRPLANES
NEEDED IN BUSINESS
U. S. Chamber of Commerce Pro.
poses Study of Transportation
by Air Between Towns.

Convinced that commercial transpor
tation by air is greatly needed in this
country, the department of transpor
tation of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, in a bulletin
made public today, calls upon the va
rious cities and towns OF the country
TO study the question of adequate all
line in respect to their communities.
The bulletin urges a study of the
economic situation of each community
in order to determine the possibilities
of securing sufficient regular cargo tc
insure the financial success of placing
their community en- an air line.
Lighted airways, the marking OF
prominent buildings in small towns
and frequent convenient landing places
also are declared as necessary, espe
cially for night flying, which is con.
sidered by the department as essen.
tial for safety and saving of business
time
1t is pointed out that costs are a
necessary study. as the initial stages
of commercial air transportation will
only be practical for cargo of high
value, but as the costs of maintaining
the air lines decline other kinds OF
freight will be carried.

SURPRISE TO CAPTAIN.
Expected Writers to Return For Trip
He Said.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June R).-
Rear Admiral Louis NJ. Mutton, su-
perintendent of the United States
Naval Academy, and Capt. George j.
Meyers, commander of the Patoka,
tender ship of the dirigible Los An
geles, expressed surprise at the allega-
tons by newspaper correspondents
that they were treated ''discourteous-
ly" aboard the Patoka.
Capt. Meyers, who came ashore for
a short time yesterday afternoon to
consult with Superintendent Mutton,
said the newspaper men arrived at
the Patoka in the forenoon, expecting,
apparently, to take lunch on board,
but were informed there were no IA
cilities. 1t was suggested to them,
Capt. Meyers said. they they lunch
ashore and return about 1890 o'clock
for the proposed flight in the Los
Angeles. Capt. Meyers declared that
they left the Patoka, apparently ac-
quiescing in the arrangement and in
good spirits, but that they failed to
return.
Uponi their return to Washington
some of the correspondents were re-
ported to have asserted they had been
treated 'discourteously" on the Pa
toka, when they boarded her. At
that time Navy officials expressed be-
lief that in some manner instructions
to allow the visitors to board the Los
Angeles from the Patoka had not
reached the dirigible's tender.
The Los Angeles. after two flights
over the city and academy grounds,
was safely moored to the Patoka last
night.

This Purpose.

BALTIMORE, June 3.-Dr. Joseph
s. Ames, acting president of Johns
Hopkins University, announced yes
terday that a research institute de-
voted to study of the general prob
lens involved in the scientific phe-
nomena of life Is to be established
at the university.
1t Is to be known as the Institute
for Biological Research, and will be
under the direction of DR.. Raymond
Pearl now professor of biometry and
vital statistics in the Johns Hopkins
School of Hygiene and Public Health.
Establishment of the institute has
become possible. the announcement
said, through financial support from
the General Education Board and
the generosity of the Rockefeller
foundation.
Associated with DR.. Pearl will be
staff of biologists and biometricians
who VIII devote their entire time to
research on general problems of biol
ogy. but with especial attention to
the biology of life duration and it's
control"
The success of preventive and
curative medicine in prolonging life
and relieving suffering has been nota-

and is perhaps becoming shorter He
continued:
There is every reason to believe
that as we gain in knowledge of the
underlying biology of life dura ton
IT will eventually become possible to
lengthen the span of life and not
merely raise the average age of the
living, which is all that has so far
been accomplished. In fact, work
already done in DR. PEARLS laboratory
may perhaps fairly be said to fore
shadow how this lengthening of the
life span can be brought about"
DIR. Pearl was selected to head the
institute, it was said, because of his
long activities along this line and his
wide exp, rience in the application
OF biological investigation to human
life problems.

DEATH DEFENDANT
DENIES CONFESSION
O'Connor Says He Was
Promised Immunity for
Admitting Watch Theft.

James O'Connor, % years old

with first degree murder in connec.
ton with the death on November IL
OF Charles F. Jarvis. who is alleged
to have been run down with an auto.
mobile in keane's lane northeast,
today took the stand in his own
defense
O'Connor denied that he was at the
wheel OF the machine and said Story
was driving when Jarvis, drunk,
staggered in front of the automobile
and was hit by the right fender.
Confession Is Regulated.
O'Connor made the charge that Pre-.
cinct Detective kuehling and Police
man Wilson of the ninth precinct
promised him immunity from the muir
der charge If he would admit stealing
a watch from Jarvis. The prisoner
said he was drunk at the time the al.
legged confession, read to the jury yes
terday, was presented to him, and
signed 1t without reading. Today he
repudiated some of the statements in
the document, insisting that he signed
because of the immunity promised.
He did not take the watch, but as
Jarvis got out of the machine in
Keane's lane to sit on the side of the
road the timepiece dropped from his
pocket. O'Connor admitted picking up
the watch and placing it in his own
pocket, but declared he had no inten-
ton of stealing it. He expected to
give it back to Jarvis when the latter
was sober, he explained.
After Assistant United States Attor-
ney OLeary had cross examined the
prisoner Attorney James A. O'Shea of
counsel for Story submitted him TO a
severe cross-eXamination in an effort
to make it appear that it was O'Con-
nor. and not Story, who drove the car.
Chief Justice Mccoy late yesterday
afternoon refused a motion OF Coun-
sci 70: the defense for an instruct ed
verde. of acquittal and ordered the
case to proceed. O'Connor is repre-
sented by Attorney David l.. Riordan

selves something to eat, and if you
want to forego luncheon you can go

probably will be under way. But the
steam launch can keep up with us,
and you can stand off and watch her
moor. Then If the captain of the Los
Angeles wants you, you may come up

The correspondents left and never
came back. stopping on the way to
extend their thanks to Lieut.. Ludlow
and the superintendent of the Naval
Academy for the courtesies extended
to them there. Lieut.. Ludlow desired
them to be the guests of the officers
of the academy at luncheon. and
wanted to do more for them.
When the scribes returned to the
Navy Department, the wire between
Annapolis and Washington and the
visual signals between the ship and
the academy were kept moving fast.
1t was pointed out by officials of the
Navy Department, in making apollo
gies, that the captain of the Patoka
should have met the correspondents,
and If he was in doubt as to their
statements, he could very easily have
signaled the Naval Academy and

Some perturbation has been caused

too great risk to the rescuing avia-

Moreover, Capt. Hagerup is said not
to favor the Farms further use for
