trict, where scenes at the Rainbow
Bridge will be shot. A special troop
will be sent to Grand Canyon next
week to film the Spanish episode OF
the discovery of the canyon. This part
Of the picture win form one of the
opening scenes, furnishing touch OF
grandeur that will flaver the whole
production. 1t is hoped that some of
the closing scenes can be made in
technicolor, though this process is still
in the uncertain stage.
Lois. Wilson as the school teacher
and Richard Dix as the Indian, are the
leads. Shannon Day is the Indian
maiden; Bernard Seigel, the Indian
father, and Charlie Crockett and Bert
Woodruff play the parts of the school

PRAIRIE DOG EXPERT
MENTS AT SELIGMAN

d. M. Gorsucf, field assistant of the
biological survey and DR.. w. P. Tay-
lor, biologist, went to Selignan Mon
day to take data on government prai-
RE dog experimental plots. This work
has been carried on for seven years in
three places in northern Arizona
Seligman, Williams and Flagstaff.
The object of these experiments is
purely scientific. The relation of
prairie e~dogs to forage plants is the
prime consideration. The plots are
divided into three equal parts, one
free from prairie dogs, one with prai-
RE dogs and cattle under natural
range conditions and one with prairie
dogs fenced off from the cattle.
Data on weights, kinds of plants,
photos, and all phases of the work are
carefully recorded and charted. This
gives valuable information which has
hitherto been rather hazy. The diff
Iferences on wet and dry years are
also of marked Importance.
Carnegie university and the Uni
versity of Arizona are cooperating
with the bureau of economics and the
bureau of biological investigation.
The universities are handling the
botanical phase of the work, and the
bureau of economics and biological in
vestigation is taking care of the
biology side. Such investigation
brings to light the startling truth
about prairie dogs and what they
actually take away from US each year.

SCHWARTZ ALIVE,
 EVIDENCE SHOWS
Explosion Victim Identified as
 (. ". Barbe

Martinez, Califn Aug, P,-With the establishment of tho identity of the murder victim whose body was found In the plant of the Pacific Cellulosc company following an eX- ploston and fire more than week ago, the supposed plot Of Charles Henry Schwartz, chemist, to realize on insurance policies totalling $l00,- 900 today stood definitely shattered.
 Schwartz Is sought on warrant charging murder.
 The charred body which at first was believed to have been Schwartz was accepted by authorities as that of c. w. Barbe, wandering laborer and missionary and as such remains in the San Francisco morgue un- claimed. Mrs. Schwartz, however. still claims the corpse as that Of her husband, for whom officials have searched since the time evidence in- dicatlng murder crept into the mys- terious case. Mrs. Schwartz denied herself to officials and visitors yes- terday.
 Although the missing chemist was credited with being a student of crime detection, bhs Of evidence found at the scene of the murder led to the Identification of the vic time and the failure of the "porfcct crime"
 Cecil Barker, undertaken of Placerville, who had given Rarbe employment on several occasions, made possible the identification of the victim. Letters and papers of the itinerant laborers left with Bar ker were compared with the body and experts declared the writing to be identical. The undertaken viewed the body last night and Immediately said that it was that of Barbe.
 Barhe's father is believed 10 be the Rev. John Rarbe. Of Jersey Share. Pa. The victim was about 25 or 40 years old. Barker also identi- fed pieces of a hlanket clothing and lcpC ltIhN llEfl illF UclN dS i-- longing 10 Barbe,
 Photographs of the lahorer fur- nished by the Placerville man and his description of Rarhe check in virtually every detail
 Dr. NJ. 0. Heinrich, Berkeley criminologist, in charge of "recon- Struction of the crime" expressed the belief that Schwartz had searched for months for a man resembling himself in statute and features.
 Thus far clues leading 10 the whereabouts of the chemist have rroved unfounded although with the positive identification of the corpse officials redoubled their efforts to find some trace of the missing man.
