ANCIENT RITES 0F
 DRUIDS UNIFIED
Evidences of This Found by
 Explorers

Darjefling, Bengal. Aug. Ae R- Proofs of prehistoric religious unity under nature worshipping Druids throughout Europe and Asia and ey- idences of Gothic ancestry among Tibetans have been rescued from the crumbling regions of Central Asia by the Roerict museum evpedi- ton.
 The first authentic description of discoveries which may sweep the science of historical research into new channels were made availab to the Associated Press today bv Miss Frances Grant, second vice president of the Roerich museum of New York.
 Miss Grant has just arrived here to join John Nicholas Roerich, head of the expedition. his wife and son, Prof. George Roerich, members of the exploration party which regain ed this outpost of civilization after months of hardship and danger.
 Nicholas Roerich says that the Black faith of Bon Po," most an- cient of the pagan religion, is spreading all over Tibet. The decline of Buddhism in General Asia, he said, had been accompanied by an cient demon-worshipping rites in which all Buddhists have been de- clared enemies.
 Rr. Roerich states with certainty that the northern Tibetans are de- scendants of the Goths. He believes that the Goths or their remote an- cestors migrated through these mountains into Tibet.
 The expedition found buckles adorned with double headed eagles exactly like those of the Goths and the Alans. Roman Catholic mission- aries said that the ancient name of the area around L.hasa was Gotha. The Tiebtan tombs were similar to those of the ancient Goths.
 The expedition discovered many stone monuments recalling the Druid temples of England and western Europe, smeared with the grease of recent animal offerings and flame worship.
 Politically. he said. the territory through which the party travelled, was in condition of dangerous un- rest.
 Tn my own caravan" he declared T found an arrow wrapped in red silk. attached to the baggage. From one of the chieftains l learped that this was sign of mobilization in Tibet. Shortly afterward. serious up- risings occurred in the eastern part. The governor of the province and 800 soldiers were killed"
 He described the condition of the Tlbetan people as lacking the first signs of civilization. Food is scarce, the rule and people devour raw flesh when they can get it. They are illterate and everyone drinks alcoholic liquors to excess, even the small children.
 The city of Lhasa, he said, would not permit the installation of cleo tric lights and the inhabitants are forbidden to cut their hair.
 Mrs. Roerich and her son almost several times to heart attacks in the high attitudes of the ! mountains. Dr. Roerich, | suffered severe snow | blindness and other painful effects of exposure.

NO SPEECHMAKING
Governor Smith Requests That He Be Not Called Upon at Sea Girt, N. J., Saturday.

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 22.-tP1Fol- lowing a request from Governor smith that he shall not be called upon to speak at Sea Girt on Sat- urday, all public speechmaking is omitted from a revised program for the day.
 Gov. smith has several reasons for refusing to speak. He does not think it good politics to speak twice within a few days in the same area. He is opposed to extensive outdoor speak, ing. He is against short speeches dealing only in generalities. He does not want to speak at Sea Girt be- cause it would be more difficult then to refuse at many similar functions planned for him around the country. Under the new plans Gov. Smith will be driven in an open car through lines kept open in the camp ground, this, if the plan can be car ried out successfully, will give all the crowd a more or less closeup view of the presidential candidate.

 When the long trolley rail drop ped from the truck, Charles Smith, flagman at the Holbrook depot crossing, attempted to stop the eX- press train by signal. But the train. which was not scheduled to stop at fiolbrook, was rounding curve scarcely 100 feet away at a speed estimated at 40 to 45 miles an hour and could not be halted in time to ..avoid the accident.
 Only the 1aCC that the traln vas an express probably avoided tragedy. for had the train been scheduled to stop at Holbrook, pas sengers would have been standing on the platform where half of the heavy rail was hurled by the i'm pact.
 Powers Brothers, contractors, had ', been engaged in tearing up aban- doned trolley tracks between here '. and South Braintree.
 The long rail which figured in .the accident was being driven across the New Haven railroad tracks in . a motor truck when it slipped off and fell squarely across the road d. bed.
 While the flagman and the truck driver stood helplessly by, the loco motive of the speeding express crashed into the rail, casting half of it in front of the station and the second portion to the other side of the tracks.
 Investigation disclosed that the engine had not been seriously dam aged and the train was able to pro- ceed to Boston.
