BABY AUTOPSY FAILS
TO SHOW VIOLENCE
Charred Body in Incinerat tor
Proves to Be That of White
Male Infant.

An autopsy this afternoon disclosed
no marks Of violence upon the charrec
body Of a newborn male baby which
was found late yesterday in an incin-
orator in an apartment building at SIS
Eighteenth street. DR.. Joseph Mae
Donald, deputy coroner, said there were
indications that the child had lived a
short time after birth, but there was
nothing to show what accomplished its
death.
The infants size was that of a nor
NAL baby at birth, but the body was so
badly burned 1t was not at first known
whether 1t was that Of white or col
ored child. The autopsy disclosed the
child was white. =.
Frederick Lewis, janitor. made the
find late yesterday afternoon, while
cleaning the incinerator.
Detective George Darnell OF the hon1i-
eide squad was assigned to the case.
No one Of several persons questioned
on the premises could give o clue to the
infants identity. Apparently it had
ketn dumped down the shoot at some
time after 10 o'clock yesterday morning
the hour that Lewis last cleaned out
the incinerator.

The memorial to Col. Junkin Ia one of
the interesting units Of the cathedral
fabric. Like other portions of the edi-
nee, 1t is fourteenth century Gothic in
design, with q vaulted, stone ceiling
containing sculptured bosses. or key

The bay already is structurally COM
plete. According to the cathedral au.
thorities the gift of Mrs. Junkin will

Efforts will be made to use this nor.
ton Of the Cathedral in 1882, as It is
hoped to hold services on the main floor
OF the edifice during the Nation wide
observance Of the George Washington

committees now are engaged In securing
funds for the building Of the south
transept.

Psychologists and architects agree with
him. 1t Is this building that will be re-
produced at the Chicago Worlds Fair
of 1888. Mr.. Franz Blom and associates
from Tulane University spent last Win
ter in Uxmal taking detailed measure
ments and making photographs and
plaster casts of this richly ornamented
quadrangle, so that it may be repro
duced in full scale and in exact detail.
Report Thrilling Discoveries.
But Mr.. Blom's Winter in Yucatan
has Melted far more than specifications
of the nunnery quadrangle. For as
write news comes from him of thrilling
discoveries. He has found in Uxmal 20
monuments carved with figures of war
riors and with hieroglyphs, % groups
Of buried buildings and an ancient
paved highway. Lesser finds were made
at neighboring ruined cities.
Perhaps the most challenging Of all
these finds archeologically are the dates
UXmal. These show concluSively,"
writes Mr.. Blom in a personal letter,
that the great City of Uxmal was oc-
cupied and f1ouriShing around 500 AID. "
This is indeed astounding news, for
heretofore it has been believed that
neither UXmal nor any of the northern
cities were founded earlier than 1000
AID.
If any archaeological Alexander feels
tempted to repine because there are no
worlds left to conquer, let him look to
the Maya land. Discovery seems to be
in the air down there. There is work
here for generations Of Psychologists, +"

Villages to Make Way
For Irrigation Project

The demands Of progress are some
times cruel and incomprehensible to
the simple, Woodworking peasants Of
Spain-humble folk, content to labor
year in and year out from generation
to generation. Among the great public
works which are extending the area of
irrigation in the peninsula and which,
when complete, will provide fertile soil
for settlement to q new population of
100000, is the great dam being built
in the upper Ebro region where lake
40 miles in circumference and holding
SOC, 100000 cubic meters of water will
be created, thus regulating the flow of
the river as far downstream as Sara
gossa and preventing devastating peri
odical floods.
But, alas, five villages win be entirely
submerged under the husbanded waters
and IS others swamped In the smiling
valley of Campoo. Their 5000 inhabi-
tants are being sacrificed to the well
fare of the community at large. How
ever, the indemnity provided for them
Is deemed fair; five times the total Of
one years earnings for the laborers
and double the estimated value Of their
lands or homes for those who are owners.
But what can compensate for being
turned out of house and home, for being
obliged to emigrate from the beloved
fields and walls that have sheltered
them for generations? Men and f1ocks
flee before the waters; the deluge OF
civilization.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
MECCA OF SCHOLARS
May Become Great Hub of Educational
Research for Students of
the Nation.

pointment Of specialists not paid by
Government appropriation but from en-
dowmentS. Chairs" have been estab-
lished. The function Of these special
lists Is purely interpretative. They are
here to help students-not to take care
OF collections and not TO teach.
Thus the National Library stands at
present. 1t has come long way from
the little collection Of books to be used
as a reference library by Congress. 1t
has become a nucleus Of q great "in-
stitution of learning" is the best sense
OF the term. The material Is here-the
DOCKS, the manuscripts, the interpreta-
tive service. But there are no Courses"
no saccredittng agencies, no university
organization. Nor will there be such
any more than was the case with the
spontaneous medieval universities. The
Government cannot direct studies or
confer degrees.
Academic Community Suggested.
The other parts of the academic
community"-a term advisedly used
must come Of themselves. They are
coming-but just what form they will
take is speculative. One possibility Is
the establishment of houses of studies"
by American universities or groups Of
universities. Thus the future may see
u
Yale House, a Leland Stanford House,
q Chicago House, a Michigan House.
Here advanced graduate students might
be sent from a university to pursue
their work at the Library of Congress-
in the Folgar Library, ETC.; reside in
their own house" and have their work
accredited by the university they repre-
Sented. Members of the faculty might
even be detailed in charge Of these
houses" 1t must be kept in mind, of
course, that such students would not
be undergraduates but grown men and
women working out practically indie
pendently their own research problems
for doctrinal dissertations.
Another suggested idea Is for the
grouping of students from different uni
verSities and learned societies in houses
according to the subject of their studies.
Some time ago 1t was proposed to estab-
lish history house" There may
some day be q science house, en- eco
nomics house, a literature house, a
sociology house, an Oriental house, etc.
In any event it will be an academic
community grouped about the nucleus
of the Library of Congress with its
books, manuscripts and interpretative
service. The great medieval univers-
tiles were almost precisely the same
thing.
Perhaps the closest analogy to be
found among American institutions of
learning already exists in Washington
and here also the relation to the medi-
eval university idea Is rather close.
This is the religious-academic commun-
ity-a growing group of houses Of study
about the nucleus Of Catholic Uni
versity, in Brookland. The university
itself is q separate institution, con-
trolled by the American hierarchy.
But one after the other the various re-
ligious orders have established their
own largely independent colleges in
close proximity TO it-maklng use of
its lecture courses, its library and its
identity. The analogy is by no means
exact-but it seems the closest afforded
by the field Of American education.

Wife Used as Subject
In Physicians Research

When DR.. Hachiro Ohara, prominent
physician Of Fukushima, who gave the
Ohara disease its name, found that no
one would believe his contention that
the atlment was infectious, he deliber-
ately exposed his wife, who helps him
In his laboratory work, and proved to
the satisfaction Of the medical world
that he was right.
This story, which recalls the sacri-
fces made BY the late DR.. Hideo Nog-
uchi, was told at o recent National
Medical conference In Osaka, which was
attended by q number Of doctors from
abroad. The Importance of Ohara's
work lies In the fact that the disease in
which he has been Q specialist n often
confused with others. It affects certain
glands, especially In the shoulder and
the elbow, and In normal cases can be
cured in two weeks, the number of
fatalities being low.
Ohara first noticed that the wild rah.
bits In his part Of the country were
killed by periodic epidemics, the nature
OF which could not be ascertained, He
connected this with the mysterious NJ
ness which attacked humans and
proved that actual contact with the In
fected animals was necessary, Ohara
shuns publicity and ID much less known
In Japan than abroad, where many of
his experiments have been detailed in
medical publications.
