NEW THEORY OF
MAN IS STARTED
, , , .
Discovery Shows Human Race
Older Than Was Thought,
BONES FOUND IN ENGLAND.
They Aro Much More - Like Modern
Briton Than the Neanderthal Type,
and Their Age Is Estimated at More
Than 100,000 Years.
English scientists nrc taking Brent
Interest In the discovery of ii skeleton
beneath nn undisturbed layer of bowl
ders and clay In East Anglla, now Nor
folk and Suffolk. If the evidence U
tood this skeleton must be that of a
mnn who belonged to n race thnt lived
In that district before the most severe
of the various Ice movements of the
glacial period.
A singular feature of the discover)
Is that In most respects the skeleton re
Bembles that of the modern English
nian and Is not of the more simian
type to which the Neanderthal man,
though a much later phenomenon, be
longs Primitive Type Survived.
There now seems to be a growing
body of evidence that the modern type
of man was evolved at nn extremely
early date, before the beginning of the
glacial period, but that for thousands
of years afterward the primitive or
Kenndcrthal type continued to flourish
Until this find the Neanderthal man
wns regarded as the oldest In Europe,
and one of the scientific commentators
says-
"Some people were hasty enough to
discern In these Neanderthal men, with
their monkey-like qualities, evidence of
the missing link It Is now clear that
they were survivors of a stock which
had deteriorated and not progenitors of
our race if we have to accept the the
ory of evolution-and it Is still only a
theory- It is a puzzling fact thnt man
has changed so little In 100,000 years"
Professor Keith's Opinion.
On tills point Professor Keith, an
thropologist at tlie museum of the Roy
al College of Surgeons, says of the lat
est disrovery:
"There is every evidence that this
man lived long before the glacial pe
riod. During this period England was
covered with a great thickness of Ice.
Finally this melted and a layer of
debris was deposited. It was under
neath n deposit of this sort that the
skeleton was found; hence he must
hnve lived before the ice age and be
fore the rivers formed.
"The finding of this skeleton
strengthens the belief that the evolu
tion of man was nn Infinitely longer
process than we originally thought
At one time believers In the evolution
theory thought thnt man's develop
ment to his present stnte might have
tnken something like 10.000 years.
I.nter they put the period nt some
thing around 20.000 years. The differ
ence. If anv. between this man's bodi
ly framework and modern man's Is so
minute as to prove that the evolution

New York. Peb. 117. Following a four
hour conference of representatives of
the United Mine Workers of America
there were Indications this morning

Meeting Which Would Mean Another
Step to Solidify Peace of Europe.
Paris, Feb. 27. French nnd German
diplomats nnd members of the Prenr-li
und German cabinets nre consider
Ing plans for a meeting between Pres
ident Fnllieres and the Germnn em
peror, nccording to n report current in
well Informed quarters. The meeting,
like the visit of Viscount Haldane.

would represent nnother effort to solid
ify the peace of Europe and be nn In
dication to the world that France Is
ready to do everything possible lu the
Interest of the world's harmony. The
recent ratification of the Franco-Ger

paves the way for still another step
toward the establishment of more
friendly relations between France nnd

The idea Is that President Fallleres
should go to llelfort. the French fort

cross the frontier and greet tin

New York Headquarters.
AFTER STATE'S DELEGATION.
In New York City, Where the Repub
lican Committee Has Declared For
Renomination of Tnft, Ex-Prcs-ident
Starts Fight to Return
to the White House.
New York, Feb. 27. Right here lit
Manhattan borough, where the New
York Republican county committee
only recently declnred for the renomi
nation of President Tnft by nn over
whelming majority, Roosevelt head
quarters are open today.
Tons of Roosevelt campaign buttons
nre all ready for distribution. There Is
to bo n literary bureau and n publlclt
bureau and the swiftest sort of cam
palgn methods. These Roosevelt head
quarters are on the t .vonty-fourth
floor of the Metropolitan tower nnd
nre In charge of Oliver ( Carpenter
Colonel Roosevelt Is not to give much
attention to them. He is to remain ai
the Outlook otllce. William L. Ward.
Republican national committeeman foi
the state; William llalpin, formerly
president of the New York Republican
county committee, nnd others of einl
nent ability ns practical Republican
politicians are to be in charge of the
new headquarters. The primary pur
pose of tlie headquarters Is to com
plete the machinery in the efforts to
get Roosevelt delegates In New York
county nnd throughout the stnte to the
state convention to be held nt Roches
ter on April 0.
Although the county committee un
dcr President Koenig has declared so
overwhelmingly for the renomination
of Tnft, Republicans In the county
committee declnre that this actiou was
taken before Colonel Roosevelt an
nounced his candidacy. Ward's friends
nnd Hnlpln's friends say that Roose
velt's public announcement would un
doubtedly ninke n difference in the
complexion of tlie delegation from
New York county to the state couven
tion.
Every. effort was made among Colo
nel Roosevelt's friends hereabouts to
ascertain If he Is to bo a delegate to
the Rochester stnte convention. No
man. It was stated, could answer that
question but Roosevelt himself.
Lloyd C. Grlscom, formerly presi
dent of the Now York Republican
county committee, said:
"I think that President Taft has
earned the right to renomination for a
second term, and I am heartily In fa
vor of him and shall work for his re
nomination."
Robert C. Morris, nnother former
president of the county committee,
snld that he was heartily for Taft and
would work overtime for the presi
dent's renomination.
George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the
Republican national committee, with
whom ex-President Roosevelt had that
recent correspondence concerning the
$2!0.O0O fund raised by tlie late Ed
ward H. Harrlman In the closing days
of the 1004 campaign, said: "It will be
President Tuft or nobody, so far as 1
am concerned. Mr. Taft will have the
support of every business man and the
opposition of none of the party save a
few long haired demagogues In the
west."

London, Feb, 27. Geographical soci

In the Fram. must know by this time
whether they have succeeded or failed

Amundsen should reach his quarters
about a fortnight earlier than Captain
Scott, but us tlie Fram is much slower
thnn the Terra Nova both will possibly
reach a cabling station within a dqy or

EXPLAINS "THIRD TERM."
Roosevelt Meant Consecutive Term.
Calls Taft Reactionary.
Boston, Peb. 27. The Roosevelt cam
paign bewail here when the colonel,
who announced before leaving New
York that his Boston visit wns not a
political one. Jumped Into the ring, hat
nnd nil, and led off with a speech de
livered before the house of represent
atives. Then he went to the senate
chamber nnd said a few words there.
He did not call uikiu Governor Toss
while at the stutebouse.
Colonel Roosevelt explained to call
ers his position on the third term.
What he meant when he said lu 11)0-1
nnd repeated In 1007 that he would not
accept a reuoinlnntion for a third term
under any eirc'iimstauces was that he
would not accept a third consecutive
term. He also Is snld to have told Ills
callers that he did not believe Presi
dent Taft has the confidence of the
people und that lie had crown reaction
ary In otllce.
"It must be clear to any reasonable
man that the precedent which forbids
a third term has reference solely to a
third consecutive term. It grew out
of the fact that a president of tlie
United States under the present sys
tem of electing delegates can, If he
knows how to, use the machinery at
his disposal, renominate himself, even
though the majority of the party Is
against him.
"But nfter he has been out of otllce
for a term he has lost control of that
machinery. He Is In the position nbso
lutely of any private citizen. The ma
chinery then Is lu the hands of the
man occupying the otllce of president."
The colonel was asked If lie would
support the nominee of the Republican
national convention at Chicago, and to
this he replied:
"Of course I will."
