Counsel for Senate Inves- tigators Unearths
 Queer Deals

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Harry Warner, President of Warner Brothers, moving picture concern has been charged before the Senate Banking Committee, with making S9,250,OO0 in the buying and selling of stock of his own company in 1930.
 Willia mGr4y, counsel Tor the committee, said he expects to prove that Warner profited by selling when certain journals were boosting the value of the stock before the public. and buying when the newspapers began to depress the price"
 Another series of stock manipu- lations through which the public lost millions of dollars is unear investigation by the Senate comm ittee. Counsel Gray said that the Goldman Sachs Trading Corpora tino and Postum Company paid $23, 100000 for the General Foods Company in which there was in- vested only $1,750,000 and the pub lie had invested $100,00O,cOO in the company.

NOW AT CROSSROADS

WASHINGTON, May 23. = The mammoth billion dollar taxation bill bearing on tariff provisions crawled to the crossroads today with threatened filibusters possibly blocking the path.
 Determined to preserve the lum- her and copper import duties in the measure, the tariff coalition expected to muster almost the same strength by which was re- tained the oil and coal duties.
 It is possible the Senate will be asked to meet in continuous day and night sessions if the fili- buster threatens to develop.
 President Hoover is keeping his hands off the bitter row which has split both parties wide open, such as stalwarts Jones of Wash ington, Steiwer of Oregon, and Shoot of Utah, all up for reelec- tion and leading in the tariff fight.

DR. A. HRDLICKA co MES NO R N TO TRACE INDIAN
Eminent Anth r o biologist Says Red Men Cross

NN \ zsE2W

"It is my settled conviction that the only possible explanation for | the presence of Indians on the American continent is the migra- l ton of their ancestors from Asia across Boring Strait" declared Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, the worlds most eminent anthropologist, as he stood on the deck of the steamship Ad- miral Watson Saturday night when the vessel was in Juneau on her way from Seattle to Seward and Kodiak.
 The famous scientist is on his fifth visit to Alaska to prosecute research work in connection with the origin of the American Indian. He is destined for Kodiak Island to resume investigations that he commenced there last year.
 "The Indian migration south from Bering Strait was slow, and at in- tervals of time and place the abor- igines founded large and long ex- isting settl lem m ts," said Dr. Hrdlicka.
 Extensive aud Ancient
 There were extensive and long occupied Indian communities thou sands of years ago on Kodiak Island. My explorations there are the most promising of any that I have made in Alaska, and I have followed the trail of the aborigine from Point Barrow and Boring Strait to the southern extremity of the Territory At one place on Kodiak Island, we found evidence of human habitation that coy- cred two acres, at another place, the remains of a community that covered forty acres.
 'The purpose of my present visit to Kodiak is to make thorough exploration there. One of my work men has already preceded me to the island. shall be joined short ly by several college men who are. now detained in the East by schol- astic examinations and commence ment duties. plan to carry on my Kodiak Island research until next September at least"

servants responded to the mystery of past.
 My Godfrey" crief Lola, wasn't it horrible?"
 Pretty awful, yes"
 There was a silence.
 Its funny" reflected Lola, "here you were, Venice, stuck at parties and coming home along from lots of them, and 8 dashing Marquis, who could have had any number of women, kills himself because you won't marry him.
 But he didn't exactly" said Venice. He was fearfully broke and his debts drove him to it."
 That's what you say, darling. But the truth will out. Perhaps you've been fooling us all along. !"
 Perhaps"
 And do you remember the day you admitted to me you were a complete flop"
 "Yes, was thinking of it just a moment ago. PernapS Stlll am, Lola" She mustn't be too sure of herself. ls'fsla
 Hey, hey! I always had plenty of attention but do you think any Marquis'd kill himself for me?"
 The best part of me is probably hidden deep. Very far below the surface," Venice said. She had 9 vague idea that Lola would repeat this.
 She did. Venice sensed 1t was like an advertising slogan for cer- tain food products. As Lola departed she asked Ven- ice to a house. warming the fol- lowing Sunday. Venice accepted with keen anticipation. Her firsa encounter in the social arena since Guy had given her a cloak of ru- mour to throw about the shoulder of her diffidence.

 Lola's voice broke in upon her thoughts. What about Rene de Thenar- dier? Did he ask you to marry him?"
 Yes" said Venice. She was hat ing this. II seemed so crude and unnecessary. But it was neces- sary.
 How could you resist? He was most attractive, and think of being the Marquise de Thenardier!"
 T didn't love him"
 "We-ell, of course I can see that. But it must have been a tempta- tion."
 No"
 Oh, darling, you'll be a dud all your life if you're not careful"
 'I'll be careful" Venice laughed dryly. How very careful she was being.
 Did he kill himself right in front of you?"
 Nora was standing just inside the dining room screen. Her large mouth was hanging a little open. Her eyes stared at Venice as though she had never noticed her before.
 Practically" sald Venice. "I'd just turned away and I heard something on the window-sill.. I looked around and he was gone. The peas, please, Nora At least she had repaid the servant for her tolerant indifference.
 Nora started and crimsoned.
 "Yes, Miss Venice" There was actually awe in her tones. She looked at her young mistress with new respect.

It was the youth of the spec tacles whom she had met at the Mannings'. Colour crept into her face. She felt as if detective was suddenly spying on her.
 Why, Ernest" she murmured T didn't know Nolly's Doctor Price was you"
 No" he said. Tt makes it diff ficult.'
 This remark was ambiguous. You know how lucky you are, Venice succeeded in saying. She had no misgivings as to Nolly's marrying him but she wished that Ernest did not invariably seem to see below the surface of her.
 And I didn't save you in time, he said gravely.
 Save her from what?' queried Molly.
 From the blight of society,""
 "Is it blight?" asked Mrs. Spal- ding.
 Venice will be able to tell you so one of these days Ernest as- sured her, helping Molly to settle herself in a chair
 Unpacking the next morning Venice became fairly ecstatic over her new clothes. The dangling of the telephone startled her.

"Rien, darling. May come to lunch with you today? I'm pining to see you and I simply have to hear about the Marquis suicide and that American he spoke of"
 Come along," said Venice. She knew a vague resentment at Lola's evident enjoyment of the gossip about her. She regards me as a nauty peep-show, she reflected humorously, and wants to be the first to get a look inside. The receiver back in it's place, her eyes wandered to the small lacquered figures on the footboard of her bed still patiently crossing their bridges and carrying their long poles Their minute stolidity knew no surprise or probing curi- osity about her. It pleased her to imagine that their indefinite little faces looked brighter for her re- turn.
 Lola blew in about one o'clock
