NEW ORLEANS, May 31.-Property

funds to meet taxes delinquent since
AuslIst, 1928, their action forced by the
calling Of loans 10 the city by the
banks
Branding the calling Of loans 40 "a
political trick" Of Gov. Huey p. Long
Mayor T. SemmeS Walsmley vainly APP
pealed to the bankers to stay the call
and, failing, issued orders to force pay
ment Of the taxes.
You we'll know that in many m
stances you will cause people to lose
their homes or will cause investors In
real estate, who have been barely able
to carry their property thus far, to
lose everything they have put into 1t,
said the mayor IN q letter to the
bankers.
The banks had loaned the city $685.,
500, with the delinquent taxes as surety,
and at o meeting with city officials and
the New Orleans Clearing House the
bankers announced that they had been
ordered by the State banking depart
ment to call the loans.
THE banks insist they have TO cal
the 1928 loans because Of the pressure
brought to bear on them by the govern
or" the mayor said.
The ring plunges the city into the
red and then hides the books" Gov
Long retorted in response to the re-
fusal Of the city commission council tc
permit the State auditor, on orders OF
Gov. Long, to audit the city books. The
council claimed the governor had nc
legal right to inspect the city's books

FLAGSTAFF, Arix., May 3i-DY. v.
M. Slipher, director Of Lowell Observa-
tory, today said that the new planet
tx" found by the observatory last jan
uary and recently named Pluto" was
about the size Of Mars, and that further
study of the body had revealed no
cometary features.
The preliminary orbit of Planet K"
Dr. Slipher reported, has been COM
puted by the Lowell Observatory stan,
with the collaboration Of DR.. John A.
Miller, director Of Sproul Observatory,
using positions Of January 23, February

"Our knowledge Of the orbits shape

NEW PLANET PLUTO REPORTED
APPROXIMATELY SIZE OF MARS
Preliminary Orbit Tentatively Deter
mined by Observations of Stellar Body
by Scientists of Lowell Observatory.

Color tests Of Planet x indicated
this body Is yellowish and very differ
emit from the blue planets. Uranus and
Neptune. This suggests an albedo and
density more like those Of the inner
planets.

stellar magnitude would not be greater
body may be comparable with Mars in
size and mass.
IF the albedo were lower. like Mer-
curry or the moon. the size Of the planet
would be greater; and II the albedo
were higher, the body would be smaller.
But in the case Of Mars or either OF
the others the planetary disc would still
be too small to be seen.

Careful visual observations have not
recognized the disc of Planet * al
though on o few favorable occasions 1t
has appeared to show not quite the

to throw light on this question.
Concerning the nature Of this object.
the longest exposures with the reflector
by Lampland and the repeated visual
observations with the refractor by z. c.
Slipher have revealed no cometary fea-
lures. Besides, comets have been OBJ

depigmented tribes which I call North
Atlantics. These white-skinned peoples
formed the last invasion into Europe
and settled in Northwest Scotland and
Ireland, Britain and further on the
coasts Of the North Sea and Of
Scandinavia"
But, professor, how did all these
people ever get to EuropeP How did
they cross the ocean, I mean"
According to Wegener's theory, in
which I fully concur, America and Eu-
rope originally formed one great con-
tinent, which only later became sepa-
rated by the Atlantic eating its way
northward. A great island continent,
which remained standing, formed the
mother country Of the South Atlantics
and was called Mo-Uri. In the language

Pre-Eskimo Culture Found.
Excavations in Central North Amer

extremely ancient pre-Eskimo culture,
which was d1ffused Westward toward

pears in very early geological strata Of
an age when the sea had a much lower
level than at present. A later Eskimo
culture has preserved vestiges of very
old Atlantic cult symbols, which may be
observed southwark on both sides Of
the Atlantic Ocean, but show no point
of juncture with Asia. In a special
typographical study, have in view,

Can you tell me something about the
religion of these aborigines and the sig
nificance OF their signs and symbols that
are still in existence, professor"
I'm my book on America shall dwell
very fully on this subject and bring a
vast material of illustrations. Here
can but give a very brief sketch of my
researches. The earliest records of the
Atlantic culture are inscriptions of a
sacred character engraved on rocks and
