NEW YORK, April 81. - Descrip-
tions of primitive negroid pygmies,
the lowest type of human life, have
been brought back from Darkest
Africa by three explorers of the
Denver-African expedition. They told
of finding lost tribes in the Kalahari
Desert. bushmen whose language con-
sists of sounds described as clicks,
and short-legged prinlitives whom the
explorers believed to be the swiftest
runners in the world.
The three explorers are DIR. c. r..

ler. all of Denver. They reached New
York last night on the steamship
Majestic, bringing pictures and tro-
phies for Denver museum.
Food Wins Welcome.
Gifts of food and trinkets won the
explorers a genuine welcome from the
hIshmen. In reaching their territory
the expedition went through the
Koroo Desert.
Although they call it a desert, y
DIR. Cadle said, I'VE went through
900 miles of flower beds, and the flow
ers were all in bloom.
I'VE went to study the bushmen be-
cause they are nomadic people who
are rapidly passing from existence.
They were the primitives of South
Africa, and they have been gradually

STREET PAVING TAX
REPEAL DEMANDED
Citizens Council ReiterateS
Its Stand Against Bor-
land Act.

The first adverse reaction TO the
proposal of the District Commission
ers to seek modification Of the Bor-
land amendment to relieve abutting
property of special assessments fol
street resurfacing came last night
when the Citizens Advisory Council
voted unanimously to relterate It's
previous stand demanding repeal of
the law.
The council took the position that
the Borland act imposes upon abut
ting property heavy and inequitable
tax burdens for street and road con
struction.
Relief Long SOught.s
Our citizens, through our civic and
trade bodies with great unan1mlty,
declared the council, have long and
persistently petitioned for relief
Enactment by the last Congress OF
the gasoline tax law has recognized
a principle OF responsibility opposed
to that involved in the Borland
amendment. The responsibility of the
users of the streets now being def
nitely established, it would seem that
in all fairness 1t should likewise be
recognized that street and road con
Struction and maintenance is a gen
eral rather than an abutting property
obligation"
\ letter from Engineer Commis-
sioner J. Franklin Bell expressing the
opinion that Congress would not re-
peal the law and asking the views of
the council on the proposed. compro-
mise substitute inspired the action.
Similar letters, together with q text
. la "a; f..a iCt
of the law, have been sent to all trade
and civic organizations in the District
for consideration.
The bill sponsored by Representa-
tive Fish of New York to regulate So
licitation for charitable causes was
disapproved. A report recommending
this action was submitted by Proctor
l.. Dougherty. The report declared
| there Is no existing evil which the
measure is designed to cure and that
it's constitutionality is dubious, as it
would regulate solicitations in stores,
shops and other private properties as
/ well as on the streets and in public
buildings.
The council also disapproved the
bill to regulate the practice of os-
teopathy. DIR. George H. Richard
son, who reported on the measure,
said it was drawn from the stand
point of protecting the status CT os
! teopaths instead of protecting the

BUTLER HOL DS ACT
VITAL TO SERVICE
Discipline Demanded VIII
Iiams' Punishment, Chief
Says, ASSaiIing Critics.


NEW YORK, April 2l.-Criticism
that he violated the code of social
ethics in prosecuting Col. Alexander
s Williams for intoXication is an
swered by Brig. Gen. Smedley D..
Butler in a dispatch from San Diego,
Calf, to the New York World today.
Impartial discipline in this com
mand," says Gen. Butler. will be
maintained despite all bluffing by well
organized propagandists to the con-
trary.
This is issued, not as a defense or
explanation, but to present an angle
on this case that had not been ap-
parent in all the mass of inspired
publications circulated with 4 view to
intimidation.
Unfortunately. these murderous
assaults have not been confined to me
personally. but have been extended
in their viciousness, to the glorious
record of the Marine Corps.
Says Mud Was Thrown.
Mud has been thrown in "a futile
effort to steer the public mind away
from the real issue"
The statement says that naval reg
ulations, issued in accordance with
acts of Congress passed in 1872, have
forbidden drunkenness in the service,
ana tIlat therefore the Glgnteenth
amendment has nothing to do with the
case. The simple facts, the statement
continues, are that a member of the
United States service committed a
violation knowingly and publicly, and
in the presence of his commanding
officer, realizing that disciplinary
action must follow.
IF soldiers, sailors or marines are
allowed to break any one law and get
away with 1t. the breakdown of dis
cipline then starts and other violations
come easily" the statement proceeds
ASsails Foes of Action.
"In their frantic but futile efforts
10 gain their ends, sympathiZers with
law-breaking have even twisted the
facts in order to loudly invoke the
code of social ethics, not because it
applies in the slightest degree, but
because of its strong popular appeal.
Will some so-called social arbiter de-
termine the length of time q guest
must respect the immunity Of his
law-breaking host?
II wish To acknowledge a debt of
gratitude to Rear Admiral Ashley H.
Robertson, who. with full knowledge
of the facts, so courageouSly and pub
licly stood by me. His example is in
spiring.'
Conviction of Col. Williams for
drunkenness was indicated when the
court-martial hearing OF his case was
adjourned in San Diego Monday
without notice of acquittal.
