 Order of Documents

The record in the probate court vault in this city are as we'll kept and in as good order as any set of records he has ever seen 1t was stated by Lucius B. Barbour, exam finer of public records of the state. He examined the records in Judge Dennis J. Slavin's office and gave them his unqualified approval.
 We pride ourselves on the man. ner in which we keep these re- cords". said the judge. We have not missed a document in many years. A lawyer made little wager one day that he had filed a docu- ment and we didn't have it. He claimed he had brought it over from his office and that it was in the records. Upon examining the file, we didn't find it and he tele- phoned a few hours later to say that he had left 1t on his desk. It resulted in a box of cigars" said the judge.
 This is one of MT Barbour's few visits to the probate court and af- ter a careful scrutiny, he compli- mented the judge and made his de- parture.

NEW YORK, May 27-Testimony as
to the necessity Of maintaining the rate
unity OF the port of New York and con-
tinuing the practice Of floating freight
without charge to the shipper was
added to the record of the Interstate
Commerce Commission hearing in the
New Jersey lighterage case yesterday.
c. B. Kellogg, vice president in
charge OF traffic Of the Munson Steam

direct rail connection with Manhat-
tan, a. competitive advantage over the
trunk lines which end in New jersey.
The effect on the port would be dis
asterous." the witness said. Steamship
lines. he testified, would divert much
Of their traffic elsewhere. His own line,
he added. would depend more heavily
on the pert of Baltimore.

Reported.

CHICAGO, April 11.-Into the erudite
realm of scientific research enters the
day laborer, the ditch digger and the
foreman of the excavating crew.
A conference between the National
Research Council and Representatives of
railways, highway builders and excavat-
ing firms yesterday saw plans drawn to
bring commercial interests and an
thripology into close determination so
that from commercial and industrial
excavations traces of early man in North
America may be extracted.
The program will be this;
The Iayman will uncover the relics
the scientist will interpret and classify
them.
Contact to Be Kept.
Under a procedure suggested by DR.
M. M. Leighton, chief of the Illinois
State Geological Survey at Urbania, KEY
men-scientists located at strategic
pointS-will keep in contact with COM
mercial eXcavators
In turn the companies will instruct
their employees to watch carefully for
any relics that might prove interesting
links with the past, and on discovery of
such evidence, to communicate at once
with the scientists.
Cooperation of this kind has been
lacking, said DR.. Fay-Coopet Cole.
chairman Of the department Of anthro-
pology, at the University Of Chicago.
1t may, he thought, be one of the rea-
sons why the antiquity of prehistoric
man in America has thus far been a
matter of conjecture.
Evidence Believed Lacking.
1t long has been the theory, DR.. Cole
said, that primitive man antedating the
Indians by hundreds of centuries, exist
ed in North America-particula in
the Midwest, over which four glaciers
ages ago spread. But substantial evil
dence has not been uncovered.
II such a creature existed on the
North American Continent, DR.. Cole
felt, the Midwest is a promising field
for excavation.
