 conditional bill of sale from Mem- brfno's purchase. The car haC been forfeited to the government because of it's use in the illegal transportation of liquor. The plain tiff could have redeemed it by pay. ing $298.35 wihtin 30 days after February 10, 1892. This he did not do and, therefore, lost whatever interest he had in the car under the conditional bill of sale. the de- cision states.
 Justice Banks states, "The facts found fully justify the courts con- cIusion that the plaintiff aban- doned the car." AS to the condi- tional bill of sale to Bofsvert. the finding says, "As a matter of fact, the suit upon the notes (this action was withdrawn when the replevin was instituted) was but further manifestation of his intention to treat the transaction as sale which he had already shown by his failure to redeem the car. By his abandonment of the car to the government he surrendered any right to claim that the title to the car was still vested in him. He elected to treat the transaction as sale vesting the title to the car in Baisvert and cannot reclaim 1t up- on the inconsisten theory that the title was never so vested" Attor- ney Walter W. Smyth represented the plaintiff. Attorney John T. Monzani represented Fallon and Attorney Harry Spellman appeared for Attorney Membrino.

ATTORNEYS MADE
 THEIR PROTESTS
(continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.)
 Thoms. Attorney Thoms said it
 boiled down to a question where a
 savings depositor Is borrowing
 money at s per cent interest.
 He added that the sentiment seems to be against the receivers s
 borrowing the money, although he pointed out he might have only one side of the picture. He suggested,
 however, that if the loan were ne- gotiated, there should be some re- strictions placed on the securities advanced as collateral so that the court would still have power over them. Lawyers Object
 Attorney Blansfield said the re- ceiver wouldn't be justified in nax- ing a loan such as suggested. The receiver pays no interest to depos- itors now, but if the loan were ne- gotiated, the receiver would have to pay per cent, he explained. This would be making the deposi- tor pay a double penalty he avered. If the banks have the in- terest of the community at heart, the interest charges should be less than per cent, Attorney Blansfeld added.
 Attorney Russell said it was not
 the proper duty of the receiver 70
 make such loan.
 Judge Els inquired if it were so that the great majority of the de-
 positors of the closed bank were of poorer class than those of other banks.
 Attorney Reeves asked Robert
 E. Leach, in charge of the receiver ship at the Merchants Trust Com pany the number of depositors. The answer was 4,600. He added, upon
 further inquiry that 60 per cent of the depositors would be of the poorer class.
 Attorney Reeves then said it would, be to their advantage to be paid dividend at this time. At torney Cassidy disagreed, saying he had heard nos demands for another dividend. He added that the loan such as Is contemplated now should have been suggested year and a half ago when times were pretty hard, but that the de- positors pulled through somehow, and are apparently in no hurry to see a loan negotiated for another dividend.
 Attorney Lynch agreed with At torney Cassidy that the loan should not be made. He pointed out 1t would mean fixed charge of SIP, : 900 yearly for the receiver to meet. He said it would be like robbing
 Peter to pay Paul. The amount of money to be spread among the savings depositors would be small and would be soon spent, he ex- plained, pointing out that anyone
 with a substantial deposit in the
 bank would not need the 10 per cent dividend now. It would delay the liquidation of the receivership,
 making 1t last much longer. and the pitfalls might make 1t too great a risk, Attorney Lynch said.

IAPE IS DISTANT COUSIN OF OURS
 SAYS SCIENTIST
It Was About 25,OOO, 900
 Years Ago, So Research Reports Aver

Washington, March 2s-UP)- The Smithsonian Institution an- nounced today that the ape is Q distant cousin of ours, about 26,- 100000 years distant.
 Extended research in the bone piles of the ages revealed by Df Alex Hrdlicka, Smithsonian an- thropologist, that men haven't been apes, and vice-versa, since the Miocene era. That was so long ago the family tree is now pretty conn Dlicated.
 other scientists had been saying that men and ape are a lot more closely related than that. The pro- nouncemeht of Dr Hrdlicka there! fore is an important contribution to the ape-man controversy, which has abated somewhat since the Tennessee debate between Attor- ney Clarence Darrow and the late William Jennings Bryan.
 Dr Hrdlicka has studied thous- ands of human and Simian bones. He says they show striking re- semblances, which prove that man and ape had a common ancestor many million years ago.
 That ancient citizen, according to Dr Hrdlicka's hypothesis, (sim- rlified somewhat) had two shaggy children. These children grew up and had children of their own. The least shaggy tribe became man. The other stayed ape. Don't ask Dr Hrdlicka why.
 There are too many bones miss ing for the experts to speak defi- nitely. Dr Hrdlicka says, in fact, that not single bone has been found yet which can be associated definitely with the fore-fathers of ours-and the apes.
 The Pithecanthropus Erectus of Java, most primitive prehuman material known to science, is, a mere youngster, anthropologically speaking. He lived less than r. 900, 900 years ago, Dr Hrdlicka says. A million years to an an- thropologist, it develops, is about the same as an hour and a half to 9 senator.

 Charges Called Bunk
 Washington, Mar. 28-UP)- pr. William A. Wirt's "brain trust plot'' charges today were termed bunk" and Wall street propa- ganda" by members of the house of rules committee considering a formal inquiry.
 Sharp attacks on the Gary, Ind, school superintendent marked the committees hearings on a resolu- tion of Rep. Alfred l.. Bulwinkle. D., N. C., for an investigation of the charges by a special house group.
 Bulwinkle pleaded for the inves- tigation so that Wirt's statement could not be used for political pur- poses in the coming elections.
 T do not thing anything of this talk of revolution" said Bulwinkle, but if there is any such man in the government as Wirt charges, the congress should know 1t and take action to get rid of him."
 "The whole thing is lot of bunk" interjected Rep. Adolph J. Sabath. D., H..
 Bulwinkle related how James H. Rand, IT,, of the committee on the nation had read at a stock ..I. t-a ,t,,rr rf n that "brain trusters" were boring from within the administration in an effort to establish communism in this country.
 My idea is that Wirt should be required to testify and if there are no such men, the people are entitled to know it," said Bull winkle. "If there are any, they sholud be run out"
 "Who is this man Rand who re- layed Wirt's charges?" asked Sa- bath. q think this is all bunk and he is a publicity hound"
 "Rand is chairman of the com- mittee on the nation"
 That's a propaganda organiza- tion," added Rep. William J. Driver.
 It was brought out that Rand had been asked to appear on the stock market bill at the request of democratic instead of republican members of the interstate con- merce committee.
 Would you summon anyone Wirt might name" asked Rep. Carl E. Mapes. R., Mich.l
 Absolutely" replied Bulwinkle.
 "Couldn't we find out who Is behind Wirt?" shouted Sabath. "We know that there is organized activity against the stock market bill, the MIRA and the Wagner labor bill. They have been moving heaven and earth in the last few weeks trying to bring about oppo- sition to the administration.
 This is propaganda pure and simple, paid for by such interests"
 Acting Chairman John J. o. Connor, d., N. Y., suggested that talk is going around that Wirt talked directly with Brain Trusters at a dinner party at which they boasted they were doing in the present and planned to do in the future"
 Such men are not assets to the administrations" broke in Rep. Jo- seph w. Martin, Jr., r., Mass.
 "The Rarty was in the night time," they only work for the ad- ministration in the daytime" re-. piled O'Connor.
 No elaboration was made of statements by Rep. George Foul- kes, d., Mich, that participants in a cocktail party" in Gary, Ind, gave Wirt the information on which he based his fred plot charges.

 Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson, Senator James F. Byrnes, democrat, South Carolina Vice President John N. Garner the administration big three in the upper house-conferred quick ly. Minority Leader Charles L. McNary was consulted. It was agreed that the senate test on sus- taining or over-riding MT Roose- velt's veto should be deferred until to-day.
 Word of the impending clash spread swiftly.
 Let's vote on this thing right now" chanted Senator Huey F. Long, democrat, La.
 "There is no reason for delay. although of course it is natural for the distinguished senator from Arkansas to want more time in which to reform his lines," chal- lenged Senator Bennett Champ Clark, democrat, Mo.
 The attack was getting hot Clark presented a motion for 1m- mediate reading Of the presidents veto message and a vote on it.
 
 Robinson parfred with:
 Adjournment Blocked
 "Mr president, I move we ad- journ."
 The motion carried, AS to 34 but 1t could not be taken as an indication that the presidents veto would be sustained by such a vote. Several voted to delay the veto vote even though they in- tended to vote to override.
 If the president is over-ridden in the senate the bill automatic ally becomes law. It carries $22S,- 100000 more than budget esti- mates-$125,000, 1000 for govern ment workers in partial restoration of pay reductions and the remaind- CT in increased veterans compen- sation.
 Must Be Two-Thirds
 It requires a two-thirds major- ity to override the veto. Robin son had to be sure of 32 votes to make certain that 1t could be sus- tained.
 While President Roosevelt called attention in his veto message to the fact that the congress had not provided the extra $228,00O, ,OOO by taxation, his opposition was based more on principles than on the money involved.
 My disapproval of this bill is not based solely on the considera- ton of dollars and cents," he stat ed. There is a deeper considera- tion. You and I are concerned with the principles herein enunciated trust that the congress will con- tinue to cooperate with me in oul common effort to restore general prosperity and relieve distress. The president referred to the so-called "presumptive" c a f which would be restored perma- nently to the pensions rolls under the bill he refused to approve.

LAWYERS ARE READY

Chicago, March 28.-(UP) torneys for Martin Insull, fugitive official of the defunct Insull empire of utility and holding companies, today prepared to post $50QO0 bond. Their client was en route home from Canada to face embez- element charges.
 Although the brother of Samuel Insull. once head of billion dol lar pyramid of companies. was forced to spend eleven days in a Toronto jail, he probably will not have to go to the Cook county jail.
 An arraignment in felony court will take place as quickly as he arrives in Chicago today in the cus- tody of Lieutenant Frank Johnson of the states attorneys office.
 Insult will be charged with em- bezziements amounting to $20,000 and $344,720 from the Middle West Utilities company and the Missis- sippi Valley company.
 While United States authorities sought Samuel Insull on federal charges of using the mails to de- fraud and violation of the bank ruptcy act, Martin cannot be tried on similar federal charges.

 It was explained that Insull was cvading pursuit by a mysterious yacht named vuIture, at one timo reported as having left Istanbul TurkcS, in search for Insult under the command of American gang sters.
 Turkish authorities denied any such yacht had left Istanbui. and all reports concerning the Vulture were most tenuous.
