SAYS BRAIN SURVEY
BACKS APE THEORY
PROF. TILNEY OF COLUMBIA
MAKES STATEMENT AFTER
LONG COMPARATIVE STUDY.

New YOrk,-The human brain is
IN an interesting stage, probably COM
parlng unfavorably with the i'm
proved brain which additional centur-
les OF evolution will produce, ac-
cordlng to DR.. Frederick Tilney, pro-
lessor of neurology at Columbia uni
Verslty and attending physician at the
Neurological Institute.
DR.. Tilney, one of the foremost au-
tnorltles on tn ebrain, has just com
pleted a comparative racial study OF
the brain of apes and men. The
study, made at the special request OF
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president OF
the American Museum of Natural
history, strongly supports the theory
That man is descended from the great
apes.
All OF the museums specimens rep
resentative of the men and apes who
llved hundreds of thousands of years
ago were submitted to DR.. Tilnev. AS
one OF his conclusions he states "That
there was definite pre-human
stock, capable of producing both an
thropoid and man, cannot be dis
puted"
when the brains of all the pre-
historic men we know are placed
side by side there is not a question
OIL doubt about this progress and de-
Velopment, which is sufficient to con-
vince the most sceptical," DR.. Til
ney adds. "There is a definite in
crease in the width of the brain. ex-
pandlng those areas which have to
90 with sensation and the part of
the brain which has to do with. the
higher faculties of reason and iudg-
ment.
Progress and the Brain.
There can be little doubt that the
progress of humanity has run paral-
lei with the growth of the brain.
FROM one age to another and from
one race to the next man has shown
steady oain in his power to control
material conditions. Where he has
stood still or perhaps even fallen
behind is in tearing to control his
own nature.
"The human cerebrum certainly
marks the advance of intelligence
step by step, and yet, for the most
part, the human cerebrum is looked
upon as finished product. It's evo-
lutlonary history does not bear ont
TINS view. 1t makes it seem much
more probable that the brain of mod
ern man IS an intermediate stage in
the ultimate differentiation of the
master organ of life. In this sense
The prehistoric brain is of more than
antiquarian interest It has a def
ute and living bearing upon the fu-
lure progress of the race"

SOUGHT FOR
BRUTAL CRIME
ASSAULT ON GIRL NEAR BROCK
TON ALLEGED; INDIAN S
WANTED.

Complaint was filed in the coun-
ty attorneys office Thursday against
two Indians whose identity is uncer-
tain on charge of rape. Complaint
was sworn to by John Bertino, who
resides in the Brockton vicinity.
According to the information given
the authorities the offense was com
mltted late Wednesday afternoon.
July Is, when a 20-year old sister of
Bertino went to the pasture to bring
home some cows. Two Indians came
riding by, one on a white pony and
the other on pinto. 1t was alleged
that they seized the young woman and
by means of force committed the
dastardly crime.
AS soon as she had reached home
and told of what had happened her
brother says he took his rifle and set
out to find and apprehend her as
sallants, but they could not be To-
Gated.
Justice Charles Gordon issued John
Doe warrants for the arrest of tba
two Indians and it is expected that
they can be found without great de-
lay: Two Indians were arrested in
Wolf Point on suspician Thursday
put were released when thew gave
satisfactory information as to their
movements. The victim of the as
sault says that she will be able to
Identify her assailants when she sees
them. '00'
Supt. Chas. Eggers was in town
and was advised of thhe affair and
will use all efforts to apprehend the
Indians wanted. The sheriff's office
IS making every effort to locate the
guilty parties. '-'0

MILLIONS MISSUSED
BY KHAN CHARGE
FORMER MEMBERS
ASK COURT TO ENJOIN 1T FROM
DOINNG BUSINESS IN PENN.

Pittsburgh.-That the Ku Kin,
Khan has collected S15,OOO,OOO il
pennsylvania in seven years anC
never has accounted for all its funds
although requested to do so several
times, was charged In the federal
court here when five residents, OF
western Pennsylvania asked the
court TO issue a perpetual injunction
to restrain the khan from doing bust
ness in the state.
Answering a suit of the khan filed
against them recently the five de-
PENDANTS also sought an order that
the organization be required to make
an accounting of all funds received
IN this state and asked for a receiver
to be named for the khan: Attorney V.
A. Barrickman, Pittsburgh; DR..
Charles F. Over, Williamsburg; DR..
Charles S. Hunter, North Fessemer,
and William G. Davis, of Manor,
named in the khan suit, filed the an
swer.
The khan on July l, petioned the
court for an injunction to restrain
them from using the name of the
OAuCA III CIlelI dCIIVlLleS ana asked
100000 damages, alleging that sum
represented the amount the khan lost
when the five caused many members
to leave the order. The khan, in its
suit, said they had been members,
but were dismissed some time ago.
The organization alleged that after
their dismissal they represented them
selves as klansmens and continued to
hold meetings and collect khan funds.
The khan used the funds "for other
than due corporate, benevolent, re-
igious and charitable purposes and
has converted the said funds to its
own selfish uses,"' the answer said,
and "that with said large funds for
which it has unduly used it has ac-
qiured power on a large scale directly
menacing state and federal govern
ments."
The answer alleged that the khan
neglected it own internal affairs and
sent out masked members to conrtol
outside affairs, and added cit commits
crime in the name of righteousness;
it commits and fosters roits, murders,
blOdshed, Kidnapping.

LOCOMOTIVE ENCI-
NEERS CLEAN HOUSE

Celeveland - (FP)-Gen. Secy. C.
E. Lindquist, Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, and 1st V. Pres. L..
g. Griffing have been found guilty
by the triennial convention meeting
at Cleveland on charges preferred by
the committee of 10 which has been
investigating the financial activities
conducted by the grand officials of
the brotherhood The general charge
was acknowledgement of brotherhood
| funds.
1t had been planned to try Pres. W..
B. PREMIER first but he pleaded illness
which seems to have developed into
pneumonia. PREMIER is " and the i'll
ness combined with his disgrace be-
fore the convention may prove fatal.
/ The trial of V. Pres. H. p. Daughertv
also ended in conviction.
The charges arose out of the inves-
LEGATIONS by the committee of 10
which has been at work since the con-
vention began June 6. They found
what the committee described as ex-
travagance, Encouragement, care
lessness and neglect of duty, and a
financial maze of banking, investment
enterprise, realty speculation, indus
trial risks and jeopardizing of pension
and insurance funds that passed the
ability of the committee to unravel
without expert assistance.
1t was found however that all the
IL brotherhood banks were sound and
that the surviving other enterprises,
more or less loosely tied to the broth
erhood, could be salvaged if they were
carried for a certain period. To ac-
compllsh this an assessment of SIS pel
member per month for maximum of
z years was voted and the brother
mood guaranteed all deposits in its II
banks throughout the country.
Three trustees were put in charge
of the financial end of the brother
hood and grand chief engineer AL
Johnston, who had been in charge of
labor activities and had sedulously re-
trained from entangling himself with
the dizzy developments of labor can
Itallsm, was made executive of all
brotherhood affairs. The offices of
president, LIST and End vice president
and secretary, held by PREMIER. Crit
ting. Daugherty and Lindquist, were
abolished.
Lindquist's defense at his trial was
a claim that he had been largely a
rubberstamp for the other 8, that he
had protested in vain and then "gone
along" on the financial roller coast
er because he saw nothing else to do
and that the whole thing had started
under the late Pres. Warren S. Stone
with Premier following Stones lead
Regarding the $500 he was accused
OF pocketing, together with PREMIER.
Grlffing and Daugherty, after the
sale by the brotherhood of the Eoui-
table skyscraper in New York Citv.
Llndquist admitted receiving his $500
but said he and the rest had kept the
money intact for the convention to
act upon. Griffing's defense was
similar.
The Cleveland bank of the brother
hood has paid its customary dividend
at an annual rate of 1920.

VALLEY COUNTY
NEEDS S2O6,S9O
FOR NEXT YEAR

Glasgow, July 17.-Approximately
$2O6,890 will be required to conduct
the business of Valley county for the
current year, according to the tenta-
tive budget prepared last week by the
BOARD OF county commissioners. This
includes estimates for the general
road bridge, poor and agricultural
extension funds.
While the total is about $4,000 in
excess OF last years budget, it is not
probable that the tax levy will be
increased, and there is a strong prob
aolllty that it will be decreased, ow-
ing to large present surplus in the
county general fund.
comparative figures for the 1926
budget and the 1929 tentative bud
get are as follows.
