SUIT TO PREVENT
RIVAL FERRY FAILS
Claiborne Annapolis Company
Loses Fight Against Proposed
Line Across Chesapeake.

The Claiborne Annapolis Ferry Co.
today lost its suit for an injunction
against the Chesapeake Beach Railway
Co. and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to prevent the railway COM
pany from locating a rival ferry across
Chesapeake Bay nearer to Washington.
The District Supreme Court in q spe-
cially constituted tribunal composed Of
Justice D. Laurence Groner Of the Dis
trict Court Of Appeals and Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat and Associate Justice
Jesse c. Adkins of the District Supreme
Court declined to set aside q certificate
Of public convenience and necessity
which had been granted by the COM
mission to the railway company for the
proposed ferry.
1t was the first time that proceedings
to annul an action Of the commission
had been filed In the local court since
enactment of the law requiring such
cases to be heard by three justices, one
being a member of a Circuit Court of
Appeals.
In the decision today, it was pointed
out that the ferry company has no ex-
elusive franchise to operate a ferry
across the bay. It's claim, based wholly
on anticipated injury, was held insufi-
Gent to give 1t the right to maintain
the suit to set aside the order Of the
commission.

SPECIMENS
OF FIRST ANIMALS
GeoIogist at National Mu-
scum Will Search for Rel
les of Cambrian Age.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 6-CreatureS be-
lieved by some scientists to have been
mans earliest ancestors. crab-like ami
mails that lived 600 million years ago,
will be sought by geologist who sailed
for Europe yesterday.
He Is c. E. Resssr, Of the National
Museum at Washington. Resser will
search abroad this Summer for remains
Of primitive animals believed of the
ancient Cambrian age, which lived in
the sea and represent the earliest known
animal life on earth.
The animals were the trilobites, crab
like creatures not more than two feet
long. small jellyfish, snails and worms,
all now extinct, but thought to repre-
sent the first known animal link In the
chain Of evolution that leads up to
present day animals. Resser says.
The Cambrian period was so ancient
that its estimated age Of 600 million
years can be arrived at most success
fully only by the method used in eSti-
mating the total age of the earth-the
rate at which certain radioactive min
erals lose their energy and turn to lead.
Using this method. biologists have
placed the total age of the earth at
/ 1852 million years.
Only Life Was at Sea.
There was no life on land. neither
animals nor plants. during the Cam
brian period, Resser says. The con-
tinents were arranged much as they
are now, but we're low. bare and un-
attractive The only life was in the
sea, where low forms Of both plants
and animals existed. No animals, only
plants, are known to have existed in
ages before the Cambrian.
Shells Of the animals, and imprints
of the bodies of both animals and
plants preserved in the rocks as fossils
enable biologists to picture the life of
the Cambrian age.
Resser hopes to find additional speci-
mems in sands and clays of the Cam
brian age that are conveniently near
the surface in Poland. Czechoslovakia
and Esthonia. In addition he will study
collections of Cambrian relics in Euro
pean museums.
Relies Collected by WalcOtt.
About 80 per cent or more Of the
Cambrian relics that have been found
are in possession Of the Smithsonian In
stitution and National Museum They
were collected from all over the world
by DR.. C. D. Walcott. who was secre-
tary of the Smithsonian from 1907 to
1927.
Walcott never found time to classify
them or summarize the knowledge avail
able in the collection, however. Resser
has undertaken this work. and is pre-
pairing a reference volume which will
be a digest of everything known about
the life Of the Cambrian age The
he gains in Europe will be
used to round out the work.

NEW YORK, June 6-The Bank OF
France yesterday lost its $5,o00,000 suit
against the Chase National Bank and
the Equits BILE Trust Co.. to recover that
amount in gold ingots received by the
defendant banks from the Soviet gov
eminent in February, 1928.
Federal Judge Francis G. Caffey dis
missed the suit from the bench, ending
q trial that had taken nine weeks to
present and three days for summation.
The suit was to determine the rights
OF foreign owners of property confis-
Gated by the Soviet government in 1917
and to recover the value Of such prop
erty in replevin suits against the Soviet
government for possession Of an equal
amount of its property wherever found.
The gold in dispute was purchased
in behalf of the Bank Of France, prior
to 1917, and was in vaults in the Banks
of Petrograd, when the Soviet govern
ment came into power and ccnfiscated
it. Later the Soviet government sought
to dispose OF the gold through the de-
PENDANT banks. The gold finally was
shipped back to Russia.
