Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. @ - A plea for tolerance from the church president, the Rev. F. H. Knubel.

 In officially opening the conven- tion at communion service at tho Church of the Epiphany last night. he said:
 "The world is radically sinful, wrong in life and thought. Much of the wrong continues to abide even in the church. The church itself consists of men who are sinners and for whom daily repentance is a re- sponsibility. All church bodies have faults. We are not ~better than others"

GObI YIELDS RICH
 FOSSILS, REPORT
Leader of Expedition Still Seeks
 Primitive Man

Peiping, China, Oct. R - Bringing a record bag of prehistoric fossils the Central Asiatic Expedi- ton, led by pr. Roy Chapman An drews, the American anthropologist, returned here yesterday after five months of intensive work in the Gobi desert.
 In the opinion of Walter c. Gran ger, chief paleontologist, who direct ed operations in this field, this years collection is the biggest and scientifically most important made by the expedition since it started out in 1922.
 Fossils representing about 75 diff ferent species, several of them new to science, have been found and are expected to throw much additional light upon the evoution and disper- sal of animal life millions of years ago. Nos human remains thus far have been discovered but Dr. An drews does not consider that this rules out the possibility that fore runners of the Peking man yet may be found in the Gobi region.
 "We still think" said Dr. An- drews, that if we are allowed to continue our investigations we shall find traces of primitive man."
 He announced that negotiations are going forward with the Chinese authorities for continuation of the work next year.
 One of the most important finds of the expedition, apart from the mastadons discovered in bog was a fossil deposit yielding the teeth jaws, skulls and parts of a cory phodon, belonging to the ambylopod order, which in general appearance was somewhat like a long-legged hippopotamus to which, however, it bears no scientific relationship.
 The party also found the skulls and jaws of a chalicotheres, belong ing to the same group as the horse, rhinoceros and tapir, but much more primitive than the type pre- viously found in Europe and Ameri- ca.
 This was a hoofed animal in ev- cry way, but with a great claw in- stead of flattened hoof.
 Further discoveries included new genera of titanothero, rhinoceroses rodents, antelopes and deer, includ- ing one of the latter with antlers the size and shape of a mans hand which was contemporaneous with the shovel toothed mastadon.
 A second bog hole filled with mastadon remains was found in the same general region as that discov- cred in midsummer.
