Man on Earth Several Hundred
 Thousand Years, Scientists Hold

Philadelphia, April 20 [P The recorded appearance on earth was brought out al the meeting of the American Philosophical society today by Dr. James II. Breasted, director of the Oriental institute, University of Chicago.
 Though the recorded time of mans advent has been regarded gen. orally as around 100000 years ago. Dr. Breasted said that recent Egyp- 'ian records show it was "at least several hundred thousand years ago; or very much earlier if we follow the geologists who estimate the length Of the pleistocene era at nearly or quite million years ago"
 These prehistoric men whose rec ords were found in Egypt were the same sort of men as have been identified elsewhere, especially in Europe, as first appearing at later dates. They had about the same culture, used the same kinds of stone tools, and are designated by the same names, Chellean and Ach- Culean.
 In Egypt. as in other places where these earliest records have been un- covered, there is an abrupt first ap- rearance. The several geological strata of earth known to precede immediately that in which mems

tools are found, reveal no traces of man at all. The human evidence ap- pears all at once, and thereafter gives evidence of continuous exist ence.
 New Way to Date Relics
 Dr. Breasted described new way of dating these early relics. This IS to concentrate on search fo" re- mains embedded in layers of earth the geological ages of which are known. It is assumed that the human evidence must have been de- posted when the now buried stratum was forming on the earth's surface.
 In Egypt the Chicago geologist- anthropologists found the dated" strata in place named the Fayum. about 60 miles south of Cairo. once the bed of a great lake In the oldest of he strata there they found nothing indicating presence of hu- man beings, but Tn the fifth from the bottom they discovered the tools of prehistoric r,an.
 Dr. Brea sted said that in an early prehistoric era the Sahara was "a vast well-watered, and vegetati1n- covered plateau" He spoke at q symposium on the question whether Egypt or Babylonia had the earlier civilization. He favored Egypt's priority decisively.

 REBUKE AT GENEVA
ltYinoh's Demand for Floor at
 Arms Conference Refused

Geneva. April 20 R-Maxim Lit vinoff, soviet vice commisar for for eign affaira. received another set back in the preparatory disarma- ment conference today and it made him very angry. He did not immedi- ately fulfill expectations of some that he would leave the conference. how ever.
 Earlyin today's meeting the ques- tion of publicity for armaments, representing the German project. was disposed of by the disarmament commission by tabling it for ref erence to a sub or later discussion in connection with limi- tation of effectiveness.
 Shortly after the action was taken M. Litvinoff arose and demanded the right of speech.
 "On what subject 2" Jonkheer Lou don, the president of the conference who had been criticized privately for allowing the Russians to monopolize the conference. and for general lack of flrmness, asked.
 T want to speak on procedure and on the question of publicity. Litvinon replied.
 NJ. Loudon announced they had already begun the discussion of chemical warfare and that it would be necessary to get the permission of the commission.
 Well" rejoined the Russian, very stiffly. If l must get the permis- sion of the commission every time ! want to speak. then l won't speak"
 He sat down amid embarrassing silence.
 II am very sorry" remarked M. Loudon coldly. but we absolutely must get on with our work"
 Shortly after the incident the so- viet delegation distributed a five page typewritten statement in which they said that while the commits sion's attitude justified their with drawal from the conference. they had decided to remain since they never wanted it to be said disarma- ment conference had failed because the soviet had not participated.
 They asked that the world be in- formed of the efforts of the soviet representatives to secure lnterna- tonal disarmament by sure and practicable means. They said they had decided to go ahead with the work of the conference. although they thought it futile so long as the soviet proposals were ignored.
 Count Von Bernstorff, German delegate. introduced an amendment to the commissions draft treaty on chemical warfare which prohibits the use of lair weapons" including dropping of explosives or gas bombs from airplanes. It also would pro- hibit employment of bombing planes which are guided by wireless.

Governor Refuses to Aid in Choice of Tammany Head

New York. April 20 CD-selection Of district leader as head of Tam many Hall appeared virtually cer- tain today with withdrawal of for mer Governor Alfred F.. Smith from any further conferences.
 Smith. after a 20 minute confer- ence with the organizations com- mittee of seven, issued the following statement:
 "I have been informed by the committee of seven that it is the policy of the executive committee to select for leader one of their own members.
 II have advised the committee that in view of that policy. l am of the opinion that the executive com- mittee Is fully qualified to make that decision among themselves. The committee of seven, composed of district leaders, had been ap- pointed to confer with the Big Four"-Smith, Mayor Walker, Sem ator Wagner and Surrogate Foley on the leadership.
 The action of the former goyer- nor was interpreted in political cir cles as notice 10 the district leaders that he would not be dictated to by them. It was generally known that Smith preferred as a successor to George w. Olvany a representative of the o-called new Tammany and his choice was said to be Senator Wagner.
 Withdrawal of Smith leaves dic- tation of the new head practically in the hands of Mayor Walker, who attained commanding position in the organization by the city's victory in maintaining cent fare.
