ASSA|LANT SOUGHT
Capital Police. on Lookout
for Man Who Shot
Virginian.

washington police are searching for
an unidentified man who is believed to
have shot Sol C. Wertlow, % years old,
of Newport News, Va, in the left Shout
der and chest early yesterday morning
in stateroom on the steamer North
land of the Norfolk & Washington
Steamboat Co. According to informa-
ton given the police, Wertlow was
awakened by an intruder who was
going through the pockets of his cloth
ing. Wertlow grappled with him and
during the struggle the stranger fred
two shots.
The shooting occurred in Maryland
waters about IA miles south Of Alex
andria, and 1t is expected that the
Maryland authorities will be asked to
aid in the investigation.
When the steamer arrived at the
wharf in this city an ambulance con-
veyed the wounded man to Emergency
Hospital, where it was said that the
wounds had been inflicted by small
caliber weapon and would probably not
be serious.
Capt. George H. NOVEL; of the North
land first learned Of the shooting when
he was awakened by colored porter
who had heard shots and located the
stateroom from which the sound came.
When the steamer reached Alexandria
a message telling of the shooting was
telephoned to the Washington police
and Detectives James C. Collins and
John w. Wise were on hand when the
boat docked at the foot Of Seventh
street.
An elderly man was the only pas
senger who disembarked when the
steamer stopped at Alexandria, the local
police were informed. Wertlow was
able to give only a partial description
Of his assailant and doubts whether he
will be able to identify him.

tention. After that the old woman
became friendly.
The possibility of finding really
ancient remains, dating from the very
early migration, Is remote, because
of the changing course of the Yukon
along which the people travelled, says
DR.. Hrdlicka. Only fortunate ac-
cident would reveal graveyards thou
sands, or even hundreds of years old,
in the foothills or wooded fats which
cover the old bed of the river.
Along the lower river. the scientists
found q much higher culture than that
further up. This was marked by a
profusion of stone implements and
artifacts OF ivory. bone and antlers,
and was essentially Eskimo. In the
middle area the variety of implements
decreases, but two new types make their
appearance, showing the shading off
into the Indian culture. These are the
bi-lateral stone AK and the tomahawk.
Pottery was the same poor quality along
the whole river, but with some diff
ference in form and decoration.
DR.. Hrdlicka was able TO get on
friendly relations with the natives by
giving medical treatment, by explaining
frankly his purpose in digging into the
old graves and by paying for all the
specimens brought in.
Making casts of the heads of the
living, essential for comparative study.

was more difficult, and many required
pay for submitting to the process Of
making stone faces" Others were en-
Unused at the prospect of having their
faces in Washington"
The greatest difficulty of all DR.
Hrdlicka said was to get normal. full
blooded natives. These are getting
scarce along the river, specially in the
middle regions, and in few more years
will have disappeared altogether.
Asiatic Characteristics.
The earliest material recovered, DR..
Hrdlicka said, extends only two or three
centuries before the coming of the Rus
slams, and the oldest known specimens
belong to the upper neolithic period,
which is just on the edge of historic
times. The skeletal material recovered
from the Indian areas indicated that
the early people were true Indians, but
with some strongly marked Asiatic af-
finitieS. They belong, for the most
part to one type, although there may
have been small groups which departed
considerably from this.
All the cultural material found rep
resented fairly high level, and DR..
Hrdlicka believes that it must have been
transported bodily from somewhere else
where 1t has been in process of evolu-
ton for thousands of years, presum-
ably across the Boring Sea from north

70-YEAR-0LD MAN DROPS
DEAD IN DENTISTS CHAIR

William Hardy, 10 years old, 622 K
street northeast, died suddenly yester-
day morning while in a chair in the
dental establishment of DR.. John K.
Freiot, 407 Seventh street. Hardy, fol-
lowing the advice of physicians, had
gone to the dentists once to have
seven teeth extracted.
Shortly after being seated in the
chair and before any OF his teeth had
been extracted he died. Examination
of the body at the Morgue disclosed.
that Hardy had suffered from a severe
trouble with his heart and was in a
condition that he was likely TO have
died at any time. A certificate of death
from natural causes was given.

The area covered is believed to have
been the original gateway of the new
world. through which the ancestors of
the Indian and Eskimo entered and
spread over the American continents.
Two Races Linked.
DR.. Hrdlicka found that there Is no
clear line of demarkation, either physi-
cal or cultural, between the Indian and
the Eskimo along the Yukon. Both
shade into each other. The true Yukon
Eskimo, he says, seems more like an
Indian evolving into an Eskimo than a
completed product of the Far North
environment. Among this people, how
ever, are fully evolved Eskimos who
lately have inmigrated to the Yukon
country.
Ancient burials were difficult to dis
cover and DR.. Hrdlicka abstained
strictly from interfering with recent
burials, so as not to antagoniZe the

hospitality.
Only once did he find himself in diff
ficulties. An Indian led the scientists
to a rotten, above-ground grave on the
slope of hill, where lay the skeleton
of an old man, while group of villagers
looked on with a suspicion -arousing
amusement.
The anthropologists gathered up the

her "old man" alone. So they replaced

ern Asia, where the Mongoloid natives
still bear many cultural and physical
similarities to the American aboriginals.
AS result of the work this Sum-
mer. DR. Hrdlicka said. it will be pos
sible for the first time to show definitely
the anthropological nature Of the Yukon
population.

IN CITY APRIL e
Review of Current Economic
Problems Theme of An
nuaI Convention.

A review of current economic prob
lens and their effect upon future bust
ness development will be subjects OF
discussion at the seventeenth annual
meeting of the Chamber OF Commerce
of the United States, to be held In this
city April 20 to May 8.
Secretary of Commerce Lamont
Representative Hawley, chairman Of the
House ways and means committee;
william Butterworth, president of the
national chamber and many other high
Government officials and distinguished
business leaders will take part in the
discussions.
More than 100 chambers of COM
merce and trade associations affiliated
with the national organization have
been asked to send delegates. These
chambers are located in every State in
the Union, and the trade associations
represent virtually every branch OF
business enterprise. In addition, invi-
tations have been extended to several
thousand of the country's most repre-
sentative business leaders.
Five-Day Meeting.
The work of the f1ve-day meeting will
be carried on in six general sessions
and IL round-table conferences. The
general sessions will be devoted exclu-
sively to subjects Of broad, general in
terest, while the round-table confer
ences will permit Of more intimate
and informal discussion by small groups.
The topics for the round-table con-
ferences are marketing agricultural
products, trade practice conferences, in
dustrial expansion and national manu-
featuring capacity, Government infiu-
ence on transportation, Government
policies relating to raw materials, mod
ern planning and financing of cities,
mass merchandising, tariff principles,
the credit supply, conservation OF life
and property, traffic, and employment
ploye relations.
All discussions in the general SEES
sions and round-table conference will
relate to the central theme Of the meet
ing. Growing responsibilities OF Busi-
ness"
Purpose Of Sessions.
In announcing the preliminary pro-
gram william Butterworth, president,
declared that at is highly important
that business men should come together
once a year to take stock of their re-
sources and chart course for the fur
ther advancement of business during
the ensuing year.
Probably never before in the history
of American business" he said, was
there such a great need for concerted
action among business men in attacking
their common problems as exists today.
Everywhere great economic changes are
altering the channels of business prog
ress. Old lines are disappearing and
new ones are taking their places. Tried
processes fall before the onslaught of
science and competitive currents move
In o broader sweep.
Business security must be gagged
not in the light of the present but Of
conditions that will prevail next week
or next year or 10 years from now.
Sound management looks at it in the
changing perspective-the competition
that lies ahead, the responsibilities it
must shoulder, the trends Of economic
development it will encounter"

sTIMsoN STUDYING CASE.
Secretary Of State Turns Attention to
Sinking Of Ship. o..

Sinking Of Ship. q.
BY the Associated Press.
Henry L. Stimson, the new Secretary
of State, announced yesterday at his
first conference with press correspond
ents that he had interested himself in
the shaping Of an American policy in
the I'm Alone case. He declined, how
ever, to discuss the subject.
The sinking of the Canadian rum
runner by a Coast Guard patrol boat
was regarded in official circles as per-
haps the most troublesome question be-
queathed Mr. Stimson by former Secre-
tary Frank B. Kellogg, who today as a
private citizen once more turned his
thoughts to his vacation.
The Canadian legation, meanwhile,
forwarded to the Ottawa government
the full reports of the British consul
at New orleans and those received from
the Coast Guard through the State De-
partment. The legation was awaiting
instructions from the Canadian govern
ment before pressing the case further.
Sir Esme Howard, the British AM
bassador, who withdrew from active in
terest in the case on learning that the
ship was of Canadian registry. also sent
the reports to London. The British
government still is directly interested
since interpretations of the rum-smug-
Cling treaty of 1924 between the United
States and Great Britain are involved.
The French embassy had not yet re-
ceived an answer to its request for in
structions regarding the drowning of
the French seaman attached to the
vessel. It was thought possible that
the French foreign office would await
some representations by the Canadians
or British before taking action. The
French case was said to depend largely
on whether the sinking Of the I'm
Alone was legal.

By the Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS, La, March 3d.
Edmond Talbot, United States district
attorney, said today there was no
foundation for reports that charges
would be dismissed against Capt. John
Thomas Randell and his crew Of seven
men from the Canadian rum schooner
I'm Alone, sunk by Coast Guardsmen
In the Gulf of Mexico.
Reports persisted, however, that the
charges would be dropped at United
States commissioners hearing next
Tuesday. The men are charged with
conspiracy to violate the prohibition
act.
THE reports are based on gueSses out
of thin air." the district attorney said
"They probably gerw out of the fact
that the crew were released from Gus
tody on their own recognizance without
requiring bond"
Capt. Randell, Canadian skipper, is
additionally charged with interfering
with a customs agent in his boarding
duties and was released on $500 bond
Coast GuardSmen charged he tried 20
prevent them from boarding his ship by
drawing pistol and threatening to use
it If they attempted to search the I'm
Alone.
Coast Guardsmen then pursued the
rum runner and sank it in the Gull
with 2,400 cases of liquor after firing a
number of shots.

CREW MAY AVOID TRIAL.
Government Expected to Drop Charges
Against I'm AIone Crew.


NEW ORLEANS, March 30 Op.-Re-
ports were current in New orleans yes
terday that the charges of conspiracy
to violate the prohibition law filed
against the crew of the Canadian
schooner I'm Alone sunk by the Coast
Guard in the Gulf would be dropped by
Government officials r.
Neither the district attorney nor the
Assistant Attorney General would verify
the reports and the mems counsel
would not hazard guess, although he
does not think the Government has any
case. A hearing is scheduled for Tues
day before the United states commis-
sioner.
The dropping of the conspiracy
charge still would leave the charge
against Capt John Thomas Randell of
interfering with the boarding duties of
a customs officer. Capt. Randell is out
on $500 bond while the crew was re-
leased upon their personal recognizance.
