NEW YORK, September 26.--Another
link in Mrs. Benjamin P. Ceilings story
of the pirate" murder of her husband
on Long Island Sound fortnight ago
bobbed up today In the form OF faded,
white linen bag.
The bag, which District Attorney
Alexander G. Blue said closely resem-
bled one described by Mrs. Ceilings, was
found on the beach at Lloyds Neck. ap-
proximately miles from the point at
which Ceilings body was washed
ashore.
Mrs. Ceilings had said that one Of
two men who killed her husband and
abducted her threw papers overheard
from a bag as she was being taken
away from the yacht Penguin in q
canoe. Blue said the bag found on the
beach contained clothing and cloth. 1t
was discovered by Policeman ANA
Biggs, who found Ceilings body.
May Grapple for Clothes.
A huge graphing iron was taken to
ment at Huntington of the inquest into
Ceilings death, and 1t was believed the
prosecutor planned to drag the waters
of the sound for clothing which Mrs.
Ceilings said her abductor removed and
threw overheard during the canoe trip.
A lead exploded during the day
came from Jersey City. where Miss Leo
nora Adverta Muttart, a registered
nurse, was reported to have said she
knew of two men who had motive to
STAY Ceilings. Miss Muttart barricaded
herself in the apartment of her landlord
for hours to avoid talking to police.
Inquest Takes Recess.
When she finally was questioned by
County 1t was learned she was without
any knowledge of the killing and that
"a wrong construction was placed on
words she uttered"
The inquest was adjourned until Oc-
tober 2, and only two witnesses were
heard today. They were Herbert P.
Ceilings, brother OF the slain man, who
identified his body, and DR.. Otto H.
Schultze, who performed the autopsy.
DR. Schultze was threatened with
contempt action when he objected to
the line of questioning pursued by the
coroner He testified Ceilings died from
drowning and not from blows which
fractured his skull. ....s,

after data on what effect beer would
have on the farmers income, If any.
Secretary Hyde disclosed the news this
week, and in Kansas City yesterday
said he had done so prematurely.
He has specified the information is
not for President Hoover, but is being
put together for himself as a result of
his having been asked for 1t from time
to time by outside sources.
This Investigation gave rise to much
speculation as to a possible alteration
of the administrations position on beer.
There is no agreement that change
Is in prospect, however The informa-
ton in some well informed quarters is
that the data gathered by Hyde are
more likely to be used to refute argu.
nnents on how beer would help the
farmer, rather than bolster such argu-
mertS.

Ten NetC.WOrld Mammals
Discovered.

Ten New World mammals hitherto
unknown to science are Described IN
recent reports TO the American Society
of Mammalogists.
The most notable are two members
of the cat family, discovered by DrS.
E. w. Nelson and E. A. Goldman OF
the United States Biological Survey
while examining collection OF skins
and skulls from Mexico. These are the
cats. similar animals but differing not
ably in color. They are members OF the
oceiot family. Another discovery in the
same collection was the Trinidad Valley
desert fox. from the mountain tootnllis
Of Lower California. They also found
hitherto unknown mouse, which inhaD-
its the Coronados. Islands, on the
northwest coast of Lower California.
Nelson and Goldman also report the
discovery Of a new variety OF raccoon

Nevada is reported to the society by
William H. Burt of the California In
stitute of Technology and new variety
of pika Is reported by T.. a. Borell OF
Berkeley, Calf, from the Seven Devils
Mountains of Idaho.
From scientific standpoint, perhaps
the most notable discovery is of a new
mole. collected by a Biological Survey
worker in the deSolate Endicott Noun
tains OF Alaska. This is reported by
Dr. Nelson. Evidence is presented TO
show this tiny mouselike rodent is

Way-is an inOffcnsive fellow urless provoked. We find this view in the comment of the St. Louis POt-Dispatch relative to the increasing of the area of Katmai National monument, which is hailed as most fortu- nate for the preservation of the Alaskan brown bear.
 If there is such an opion in Alaska. where the bears actual ly have their habitat, we nGvCG have heard of it. On the con- trary, it is freely admitted by Alaskans that the animal is
 held in much dread, and that its presence is a serious detri-
 ment to extended settlement
 Though the Alaskan brown bear is a raging monster when wounded, as terrible as any known beast of prey, AlaskanS insist that it is not necessary 10 wound the bear before it's anger is reused. Indeed, they will supply any number of rl- stances, for the authenticity O.
 which they freely vouch, of
 wholly unprovoked and savage
 attacks on man. It is added with a somewhat rueful smile
 that prudence constrains the
 unarmed individual to climt
 the nearest tree, if he finds
 himself in the proximity of one
 1f them. Should no tree be
 convenient, the results are oft
 en exceedingly unfortunate and final. It is difficult to under stand by what process of invcrt- ed reasoning the champions of

he Alaskan brown bear set aside the opinion to those who kroWn the animal.
 Much is made, in the argu- ;nent for the good character of the bear, of the fact that he i3 primarily vegetarian-quite as though this must necessar- fly guarantee his pacifism at all ordinary times. The Afican buf- flo, we would observe a long line grass-eaoters, yet this ami mai is accounted by hunters to be the most dangerous game in the dark continent. Diet has little or nothing to do with it. The question is one of fact and ferocity. No creature ever bore So terrible reputation as does the Alaska brown bear without in slime part, deserving it. Sentiment, even for conserva- tion, should always be tempered with sense. There is a place for such a creature as the AL askan brown bear, of course-a place in which it should enjoy a certain measure of security but that place ought to be re- mote from the lands that man
 1as occupied or designs to oc- cupy. This seems to be what the Alaskans contend. It is not

INDIANS TO RE TAUGHT TO
 SUPPORT THEMSELVES

"The government hopes to make Indians self-supporting and economically independent of the former paternal attitude of the government during the text gerenation" said J. Henry Scattergood, Assistant Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs at Ho- quiam, Washington while en route to the Quiniault reserva- tion. "The Indian Department is attempting to educate the tribesmen," he said, "So they can be assimilated into the ranks of other citizens and will ',e able to take an active part
 n society. Of the 350,000 In- dians in this country all but 100000 are government wards. /"
 Sounds as ii the Indians must be about broke There is very little possibilitt of the Indians being given their freedom so long as they have property which others wish to manipulate for them. Ar Oriental born anywhere in this country auto ratically becomes a citizen at the age of 21 regardless of his qualifications, but an Indian born on reservation is simply out of luck. Ire grievous thing about the whole business is that millions of people suppose the millions upon millions of dollars which the United States govern ment has app 'cpriated o"edu- cate Indians" has been used to educate Indians.
