TH#TTH -MMARAaas GEORGE PHELPS IN '''''' SAN FRANCISCO BANK .
 DURING X HOLQUP

George Phelps, pioneer busi- ness man of Seward until few years ago when he disposed of his local interests and took him. self off to San Francisco, there to round out his active career, met with an exciting adventure recently, according to letter received in the last mail.
 While in branch bank in San Francisco transacting perl sonal matters, two bank robbers came up behind him herding all customers (seven of them) in one corner, while the other bandit drove the five employees of the bank to the rear.
 The bandit on the inside gath cred up all the currency, some $6,2O0, and quietly walked out to their car that was parked and made their getaway.
 It took the bandits about 10 minutes to do the job; 1t was not pleasant feeling, MT. Phelps said, haYng an automatic rel volver point ,d at ones head, or abdomen an { no way of defend ing ones sci. MT. Phelps cer- tainly does not desire having to go through again with a like experience.
 MT. Phelps, at times, wishes he was back in the eTrritory he gets quite lonesome, knowing So few people in San Francisco in comparison to his legion of friends and acquaintances in the North.
 He wishes to be remembered to all in Seward and others he knew before moving away from them.

CURATOR DOUBTS
BONES FOUND SHOW
MAN KIN TO APES
Miller, in Annual Report to
Smithsonian, SkepticaI of
Missing Link.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

''In place Of demonstrable links be-
tween man and other mammals we now
possess nothing more than some fossils
so fragmentary that they are suscepti-
BILE of being interpreted either as such
links or as something else
This conclusion, based on an ex-
haustive summary of the studies of
the fossil remains Of strange prehistoric
creatures, which science In recent years
has generally accepted as being transi-
ton forms between homo sapiens and
remote apelike ancestor, was issued
today by Gerrit S. Miller, jr., curator
of the division of mammals of the
annual report of the Smithsonian In
stitution.
The implications are so far-reaching
and susceptible of misinterpFetation be-
cause of the emotional atmosphere
which prevadeS the controversy over
mans alleged animal ancestry that the
report Is preceded by an explanatory
note by DR.. Charles G. Abbot, secretary
Of the Smithsonian Institution, pointing
out that Miller is not attacking the
theory Of evolution as applied to the
continued search for pre-human relics.
Remains Evolutionist.
In the face Of his study Miller re-
mains an evolutionist, declaring that
the idea that all existing plants and
animals are derived through some proc
es Of orderly change from kinds now
extinct is supported by an array of facts
too great and too well established to
be weakened by doubts cast on alleged
family records of any one creature"
Human missing links" Miller says,
might be creatures Of three different
kinds-races of men which had not
lost all their apelike peculiarities, races
of apes which had begun to take on
human characteristics or races which
were neither exactly men nor exactly
apes, but which combined the charac-
teriStics of both. .
IF a human missing link is to be
found at all it must be sought among

NEW ADJOURNMENT
!. MOVE IS RUMORED
"Young Guard" Compromise
to Keep Industrial Rates
Rejected.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Their plan Of a short cut to disposi-
ton of the tariff bill fatty rejected by
the Western independents, the young
Republicans" Of the Senate today found
more trouble In the ofing in the indeh-
mite form of rumors of q second attempt
to bring about an adjournment at the
end of this week.
A proposal by Allen of Kansas, one
Of the young guard" members, that
the tariff measure be passed immediate
ly, with industrial rates generally re.
stored to the level of the present Law
and the agricultural increases already
agreed upon retained, was turned dowr
late yesterday at q meeting of the In.
dependent group.
Through Senator Borah Of Idaho thu
latter served notice that the present in.
dustrial rates are unsatisfactory and nc
compromise can be affected. In this
attitude the Westerners were joined by
Senators Simmons of North Carolina
ranking Democrat Of the finance COM
mittee.
The present law, he said, is being
used by the Democrats as a guide and
basis for individual amendments, but
his colleagues will net hesitate" to re-
adjust rates up or down as they think
necessary.
Oppose Adjournment Saturday.
The young guard" will oppose de-
terminedly the indicated effort to ad-
journ the Senate on Saturday. It's pri-
mary purpose Is to keep the body In
session continuously and working away
at the tariff bill in an effort to obtain
passage before the close of the special
session, now less than two weeks away
The move first came to notice when
an attempt was made last week to pass
a resolution Of adjournment, which had
the support of their party leaders. De-
serting the nominal leadership, the
members of the group voted with the
independents for continued session, and
were successful in defeating the pro-
posal.
A dinner meeting Of the young
guard" called for last night for the
purpose of laying out plans of future
action, was Cancelled because of the
condition of Secretary Good.
