 the American Museum of Natural History, New York city, ana Edwin D. Mckee, chief naturalist of the National Park, remained on the island" all night to set traps for animals. Their seven comrades will rejoin them today with more food and water and other supplies.
 The partys camp was pitched on a saddle" a narrow strip of land which crosses from the wall of the canyon to the wall of the shaft near It's bottom. By radio from this camp Tillottson made this report to Ma tional Park headquarters:
 "The first thing we did when we reached the top at noon Thursday was to 90 thoroughly over the en- tire area. We found considerable evi- dence of wild life, including, much to our surprise, deer.
 "A nasty examination did not show how the deer could have gotten ur there. We found their droppings all over the plateau and we found their antlers too"
 Saw No Animals
 He said they had seen no deer nor any other animal, nor any fresh signs of deer. Dr. Anthony, he said anticipates @ lot of fun trapping the animals and identifying the specimens"
 Dr. Anthony himself was entirely as much out of touch with civiliza. ton as though he was on an un known continent, though, from the top of Grand Canyon, his camp fire could be seen clearly. The party did not take a radio to the top. The climb was so steep and SO danger ous, that burdens had to be kept to @ minimum.
 Included in the party was Walter A. Wood, Jr., of the American Geographical society, who was one of those who returned to the camp. He thought he might fly over the island" today and parachute a ra- dio, scientific equipment, food and water down to Anthony and Mckee. S5,0OO Years Ago
 It Is believed with reasonable as- surance of accuracy, that the Colo radon river first started cutting the land away from the island at the end of the glacial age, approxi- mately 36,000 years ago. Whatever animal life got to the Island or was on the island, was isolated from its exact counterpoints in the surround ing country.
 For hundreds of years, while the canyon got deeper and deeper, ani- lnaH were free to go back and forth from the island to the mainland, then as the depth gradually in- creased, with increasing difiiculty. At last the time arrived when the walls were so high and so sheer that 1t was no longer possible and what ever animals had established therri- selves on the island, were per- manently isolated. This occurred, at minimum, scientists estimate, 2O,- 900 years ago.
 Completely Isolated
 This means, if the basic premise of scientific conjecture is proven to be correct-that the island has been completely isolated-that species of animals have developed on the isl- and absolutely independently of tho species on the mainland. It means, that the island might contain species of small animals entirely unique, but with a common afices- try with the rabbit, the fox and the wild cat of the mainland.

 Rome, Sept. 17.-(UP)-Italy has not withdrawn her fleet from wa ters covered by the new nine-power Mediterranean anti-piracy control, 1t was said today in well-informed quarters.
 The position was taken, 1t was understood, that as Italy did not subscribe to the anti-submarine agreement, there was no reason for her to recognize 1t in a sea which Italy regards as primarily hers.
 Presumably, Italian submarines as well as other war craft remained in the part of the Mediterranean cov- cred by the international patrol ships, and Italians, recognizing tho present situation as pregnant with dangerous possibilities, asked them. selves what might happen if one of their submarines crossed the path of British French patrol units any. where in the Mediterranean.
 Hint of Attitude
 A hint of the Italian attitude was contained in an article published by the newspaper Messagero as from its Geneva correspondent:
 "The mandate entrusted to France and Great Britain by the powers at the Nyon conference can not forbid the Italian navy to protect its n1er. chant marine and other interest in any zone, or to react against any attack made against our submarines anywhere"
 The evident danger of the sitiua- tion was made greater by Premier Benito Mussolini's firm insistence that 1t is up to Great Britain and France, not to Italy, to make any proposals calculated to persuade him to cooperate in the submarine pa- troL
 No New Proposals
 Mussolini's own newspaper, Popolo DTtalia of Milan, said today that Italy would make no new proposals and at the same time insist on ab- solute parity with other powers if she did not join in the Nyon agree- ment.
 The statement was masked in the form of Q message from Lon. don, whose headline was "Nyon signatories should not delude them selVes-absolute parity is the un- equivocal condition for Italian par- ticipation in the patrol"

theory of evolution, found extraor- dinary species on isolated oceanic islands which obviously shared a common ancestry with well known species, but had developed special characteristics by having existed in isolation for thousands of years. Darwin argued that evolution rep resented survival of the fittest-- that in each generation, the indi- vidual best adapted to live in hSi circumgtaYiceS would survive to pro- duce offspring which would inherit and even improve his particular adaptability, which, in time. would change the structure and the habits of the entire specie.
 This he called natural adaptation and 1t is now 's,nerally accepted as fact, not theory.
 The mainland animals are believ. ed to have migrated into the coun- try late in the post-glacial age, and the island animals could be descend cd from the species they succeeded and which are long since extinct.

Safety Test Highliglts

It was a question yesterday after noon whether the football practice which the Leavenworth high school squad under the direction of Head Coach Rieger, and Assistant Coaches "Jarp" O'Neill and Louis Laun would attract more attention than the Waterbury Democrat Bicycle Safety League tests.
 Between bicycles racing this way and that and footballs sOar- ing and bouncing in every direc- ton the spectator had to be on the alert to keep on his feet.
 "Bobo" Sheehan was the ofticia. starter and timer for the tests yes- terday afternoon. But after a few starts "Bobo" gave up and went over to encourage the boys who lug the pigskin.
 Two bikes of the 'kiddie" va- ricty went through the testing lane and one owner when advised of the fact that he was driving without light, bell or rear reflec- tor, said he guessed he'd have his dad get him new bicycle any way as he was getting too big for the little one.
 When the tests are completed there will be a survey made to show which makes of bicycles are the most popular. The ofilcial tester to date has checked through only one bi- cycle that recalls the good old days of cycling-an Iver Johnson.
 Col Clarence Chamberlain, famed aviator, paid his first Of- flciaI visit to the testing lanes when he scared over Washington park shortly after ?. m. In his giant 27-passengcr plane which iS operating from HEk Tebe alFpoFk

 the rights of the American peo- pie" and the dignity of the su- preme court" in confirming Blacks nomination.
 The writer, Vincent De Paul Fitz- patrick, the managing editor of the weekly publication, decfared:
 Every effort was made to get Catholics not in politics in Alabama, Catholics with lOo axes to grind, to send messages of congratulation to Senator Black and messages of ap- proval of his appointment. Even priests in Alabama were urged to send such messages. They and other Catholics refused because they knew how friendly Black had been with the klan."
 Fifth of Series
 The Pittsburgh Post. Gazette printed the fifth of a series of six articles, written by Ray Springle and copyrighted by the North American Newspaper Alliance, which alleged that Black accepted Q 'gold pass port" or life membership, in the klan at Q Birmingham, Ala, klan klorero on Sept. 3, 1926. Today's are ticle quotes Hiram w. Evans, irn- perial wizard of the klan, as hav- ing boasted in Q speech at the kloreror that he would have made the late Senator Oscar w. Under. wood the Democratic nominee for president in 1924 if Underwood had not denounced the klan in Q speech at Houston, Tex.
 Meanwhile, Black remained in sec clusion in England, where he is va- cationing. MT. Roosevelt had de- clared that the White House would make no comment until Black re- turned to the United States and had had an opportunity to read the Post- Gazette articles. There was no indication today that the president would change his position.
 Judicial Robe Prepared
 It was learned that the black faille silk judicial robe which the new justice will wear, was ordered for him before he sailed for Eu- rope. It will cost between $50 and $86, and is being purchased from a firm which has been making su- preme court robes since 1898.
 Black already has taken, secretly, the Constitutional oath and the specific oath required of supreme court justices. CuStomarily, a judge does not take the specific oath until his first appearance on the bench,

Dance Revue
Success to Be
Repeated Tuesday

The Annual Dance Revue pre-
scented by Milady Club of Phyllis
Wheatley House Thursday, May
81, was a tremendous success. Ev-
cry seat was sold and many peo-
pie stood throughout the entire per-
Torrance. The enthusiastic recep-
ton of the audience was criteria
enough to believe that Il " were
well pleased. Practically every
number was an encore.
Miss Harriet Williams did an
egyptian ballet. that was beautiful.
This young lady has charm and
grace. She also gave snappy tap
dance number that was fitting as a
finale to a great program.
The "Baby Cabaret" was the
highlight of the evening. Mr..
Loucks, an excellent dancing in
structor, said: 'There is something
different about the lack of self
consciousness and the thorough en-
joyment of the youngsters that
made them have a professional air.
Never have I seen anything bet
ter" The entire staff of recrea-
ton leaders of the Minneapolis
Park Board was equally enthusi-
astic.
Indeed it was such a success that
the class will repeat it in benefit
of st. Thomas Church and the
Phyllis Wheatley Camp Fund on
Tuesday evening, June 8, at the
Knickerbocker Hall, 9O4 Fourth
Ave. South, Minneapolis. The ad-
mission is 80 cents and there will
be dancing afterwards. Tickets are
on sale at Phyllis Wheatly House
and with any member of the La
dies Guild of st. Thomas Church.
Don't wait for your tickets. They
are limited as they expect to have
a packed house.

GET RID OF WHITE ANGELS"
BAPTIST EDITOR TELLS
DIVINE

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-(C)-Mili-
tant Editor R. C. Barbour, of the
National Baptist Voice, in an edi-
torial captioned "To Father Di-
vine," wrote last week:
Dear Sir:
We have been planning to write
YOU for some time. AS a Baptist
and believer in the freedom OF
religious worship, we have only
goodwill for you. If there are
those who want to believe you are
some kind of a God, we shall not
fuss with them. The people have
a right to worship the God of their
choice, whether he be in the sky or
in Harlem.
You have a large following and
we are not jealous of you. But you
are making a great mistake, and,
perhaps, it is not too late to cor
rect it. You are taking Jesus too
seriously on race matters. White
and black Christians cannot wor-
ship together and enjoy the same
fellowship in America.
For this reason you are going to
have trouble as long as you en-
courage white "angels" to fly about
your Harlem "heaven." White an
gels cannot worship with Negroes
even in New York, not to mention
Texas and Mississippi. There are
laws in our country, sanctioned by
our Christian churches, which
would prevent an angel from heav-
en- from associating with black
people.
The best thing you can do is get
rid of the "white angels" and get
you some pretty ''black" ones. We
note that your name is appearing
in Associated Press dispatches ev-
ery day. White America is becom-
ing more interested in you. Why!
They are not concerned about
your doctrines or your theology
You have white women in your
Harlem "heaven." That is the rea-
son. You are going to be perse-
cuted. You are going to Jail. You
are going to be accused OF, every
thing.
Our advice to you is: that you
if you plan to preach in America
do what we Baptists are doing, de-
velop a jim-crow church. No one
win harm you then; and then, too
Won can get by with anything.
Yours for "black angels"
