SCIENTISTS TO STUDY
AUSTRALIAN NATIVES
Expedition Into Unknown Tract
Will Record Dances and Songs
With Photographs.

LONDON. June l Correspondence
AN expedition. which is expected to
produce results OF great scientific and
economic importance IS being sent
from Adelaide, South Australia. to eX
plore unknown lands in the northern
territory. 1t is being financed by
Donald Mackay of Sidney, New South
Wales. The expedition will carry on
research in geography, geology and
enthropology, and will look for pre-
cious metals in which this part Of
Australia is reputed to be enormously
wealthy.
The leader of the expedition Is Her
bert Basedow, protector OF the
aborginieS and the author OF a book
recently published on the Australia n
aboriginal a subject on which he Is a
great authority. 1t was manly due to
the efforts of Mr.. BasedoW that the
government a few years ago set aside
a huge tract of land in the northern
territory and western Australia as a
reserve exclusively for the occupation
of the aborigines.
The expedition will carry motion
picture camera and phonogra phs in
order to record the native dances and
corroborees and their songs. AS the
natives of the parts Of Australia to
which the expedition is going are al
most unknown, these records will be
of great value to science. 1t will be
possible to compare them at leisure
and in permanent form with those OF
the primitive Arunta and other tribes
of the northern territory which were
obtained by Prof. Baldwin Spencer
just before the World War.

BELOIT, Wis, June l0.-A friendly
contest between teacher and pupil is
being waged by Roy Chapman An

George l.. Collie. Of Beloit College. to
establish the home OF the first man.
Collie, head OF the anthropological
department. believes Africa was the
habitat of the first man on earth. Ills

man first lived in Asia.
The contest. which has been carried
on for several years. with Andrews
the most active of the two. has dis
closed considerable evidence support
ing the contentious Of both. but man
first home still is a mooted question.
II do not hope in my lifetime to
prove that Africa was the home OF
the first man declared Dean Collie.
but l do hope to take some steps
which may help others TO decide the
question.
Many Back Andrews.
Andrews is certain that man origi-
mated in Asia and has the backing of
many good scientists. AS l told him
a few months ago. Let's each one OF
us go to it. and see which is the best
guesser.
Twenty years ago Andrews was a
student at Beloit and his earliest les
sons in anthropology and archaeology
were cleaned from lectures by Dean
Collie Andrews was graduated III
1908 and became naturalist and eX-
plorer. During the last ten years he
has led three expeditions to Asia. Ex-
cavations in Mongolia and other Ash
attic countries have unearthed speci'
mems which Andrews thinks substan-
tiate his contentious.
Dean Collie will renew his studies
this Fall when he goes abroad TO con
tinue the explorations commenced by
Alonzo s. Pond and others working
under his direction.
Old Tools in Africa.
In the Saf-Saf region. in eastern Al.
seria, he hopes to find tools that Will
aid him in following out his theory
that man first lived in Africa. Tools
found there in previous explorations
Indicate to him that man was In
Africa at a very early date, even II ne
did not originate there.
."rhe nearest relatives Of man in
the animal world are the large apes,
he said, Man has not descended
through these apes but they are a
relatively close collateral branch or
the primates. 1t is well known that
the highest apes. the gorilla ana
chimpanzee. dwelt in Africa. If Africa
was favorable for the development or
the higher collateral branch or the
human family there are possibilities
that it would favor a closely related
human family"

Auditors Reasons Set Forth.
The reasons for the auditors action
in denying Mr.. Fenning any commits
sion whatever for serving as commit
tee or guardian are set forth in the
report which Justice Siddons quotes.
AS follows: 'One of the factors lnf1u-
encing the auditor in denying Mr..
Fenning any commission whatever in
the present account, is the fact that
practically only routine matters were
handled incident to this accounting y
Justice Siddons then said:
THE routine matters handled were
the doing of those very things which
formed a part of Mr. Jennings du-
ties as committee, the collection and
preservation Of assets, Of which he
collected during the period covered by
the accounting $l,0l4.39; providing the
ward with clothing and funds. OF
course, he became responsible for the
assets thus collected, as he was also
responsible for the preservation Of the
corpus or principal of the estate,
amounting to $12.S20.26.
'The auditor entertained no such
view in making his report to the court

more was done in character except

very much time or labor involved in
doing what he did do during the Pc
